Welcome to the Nut Hut!

[FTMommy01]

I know, Im a little nervous! My midwife is doing scans every other week to keep track of his growth, just to make sure he isnt getting too big in there!

 

[Wugz22]

OMG he's precious!!!!!!! How perfect is he????

Lol yeah Angel Wings, my hubs can't seem to figure out that he needs to stand in the exact same spot every week to take my picture or it makes it hard to tell what's happening! He was super close to me for the last pic and then farther on this recent one I guess, but I promise I'm bigger! I know this because NOTHING fits me anymore, not even maternity clothes that I bought in 2nd tri!

Awwwww he is sooo cute Ft.

Wugz some babies dont engage at all thet engage during labour so bump does not drop. But I see a diff in your pics.

Angel I hope you get your x section you are really getting close.

such a cutie pie FT!!

Well 5 more days! He's definitely transverse still! He was partying up a storm yesterday and thus morning, and was making me nervous, but he's been rolled forward off and on for the last hour, and there is no doubt. Head is definitely poking out my right side, and butt on the left, just under my ribs. Hang on little buddy!

 

[Angel wings13]

At this stage I think his head is probably too big to turn, he's above and somewhat to the outside of the point of my pelvis, I read that's why transverse babies at 32-34 weeks often can't turn, they can't get their head around the pelvis and round ligaments. Not that he seems to be trying - I think he's simply comfy where he's at. Lol.

I think nesting has kicked in a bit- but it's a little askew
I have all the parts of the swing spread out, then decided to set up the portable crib/bassinet/pack n play thing, which got me thinking about setting up the blankets, so all my receiving blankets are now neatly folded and inside the pack n play, next to the bassinet attachment. Portable mobile is hung. Re-arranged a few small things in our bedroom and have the pack n play perfectly wedged in a corner. The thicker fleece blankets are only going to be used when going somewhere if cold out - it's not necessary for indoor use in Florida winter, lol. I have the diaper bag all set up. A stack of newborn diapers (forgot how cute those little things are - though I doubt he'll be in them long!), travel wipes, portable changing pad, ready to use-with disposable bottles- formula, burp cloth, a little binky case with 2 binkies , a soft crinkly toy book, a spare onesie and spare outfit, a receiving blanket, bib, and spare socks. Car seat is ready to be fitted in the car. Complete with a couple hanging toys and head support. I have all his clothes organized by size and type, onesies, then sleep gowns, then sleep n plays, then actual "outfits", all 0-3 months, then outfits for older than 3 months, then accessories- scratch mittens, bibs, hats, socks. I have a bin that has baby toiletries, which I'm going to further breakdown once I buy a couple storage cubes. I already have the shelves and bins and dividers. Target has the best assortment of organizers! So yeah, I'm nesting

OMG Angel I'm so excited for you! Can't wait to see the little guy

Evan must be on yet another growth spurt. Fed him his regular 6oz bottle tonight and the little guy was STILL hungry!! I think we finally stopped at 10oz because he fell asleep. I'm glad I started formula feeding because there's no way I would have been able to produce enough for him. I've been taking every herbal remedy and domperidone and I can only get 4 oz every time I pump, which usually is only 3-4 times a day (if he lets me!). Now to go through his clothes tomorrow to see what doesn't fit anymore. Been taking a LOT of it out lately!!

 

[confetti83]

Anake I am supplementing with formula and yay for me he slept from 7pm till 12am ladt night he woke every 2hrs after. The gas prob is getting better every day but he seems to be a high needs baby wanting to be held and doesnt play alone a lot. I hope this will subside once he starts crawling.

 

[confetti83]

Wow Angel that is some super nesting!

Yay angel when are they doing your c section?

My boobs and tummy are super itchy! And everyone told me that I "popped out" this week. Although I'm sure if you dont know im pregnant you still cant tell. Im going home for turkey day so I hope my family just thinks ive been eating too much lately lol. Im scared they may get suspicious, especially since im a horrible liar.

So when is everyone due? Im ready to see all the babies lol. And anake and confetti you need to post more pics!

Idk, tomorrow us when I'll find out for sure IF they are doing one...I'm 90% sure he's not head down, if he'd roll forward I could be 100% sure....otherwise I have to pray my other health issues will be enough for cesarean approval. But tomorrow, doc will check, and if he's not head down they WILL book me for a c section, even if he happens to turn miraculously after that, it won't matter, the section will already be booked. I'm SO EXCITED For tomorrow! Been 18 seeks since I've had a scan!

Yayyy fingers crossed angel!!

I have my appointment with the thyroid specialist today, I hope he doesnt have to put me on any meds. My midwife said because im so borderline with my levels she just wants a second opinion. I just want one appointment where they say "everything looks good" lol but I know thats a far shot!

 

[FTMommy01]

PS: Nazz- Im due the 28th of december but Im thinking I will go a week or two early with him being so big!

PSS- Baby was rolling like crazy last night then I went to the bathroom and I lost part of my plug, just a little bit so nothing to worry about but just reminds me that my body is getting ready!!!

 

[AnakeRose]

Wow Angel, you sound like me when I was nesting!!

Nazz, are you telling everyone you're pregnant at the dinner?? You'll be 12 weeks!

Confetti, glad your little guy is sleeping better

Yes I should post more pics

 

[Angel wings13]

Ft- is it possible you're a little further along than you thought?
Pregnancy does often mess with thyroid levels, they are actually supposed to be slightly off when preggo - but maybe she means you're slightly off THAT, if it's real slight and you're not really having symptoms, it's very possible the endo may decide to keep you off meds. I know that if your levels are LOW (t3 & t4), then ask for armour thyroid - some docs prescribe the synthetic synthroid, but armour is natural and completely harmless to you and baby. If your levels of t3 and t4 are high, they may put you on PTU, if you weren't preggo they would use methimazole - both are thyroid suppressants. But PTU is more often used in pregnancy.

When are we supposed to loose our plug? I swear I just have this feeling that the baby is going to be late! I don't know why. At my doctor's appointment, my OB said he wouldn't let me go a week past my due date. I just really, really want him to come naturally, I have no idea why but I just don't think he will!!!

Come 37 weeks and I'll be trying every trick in the book!

Nazz Dec. 20 is my date.

I noticed that there will be a full moon a couple days before that... hopefully the myths are true!
