How are you feeling??
What are you craving?
What do you still need to get?
I'm getting super excited! I'm due December 13th with our second girl. I'm still working full time and my only major complaints are feeling gigantic, back pain, hip pain, swollen feet, and my legs and feet going numb a lot.
I can't stop eating Popsicles!!!! Seriously, I've had 3 already this morning! And cookies and sweets in general have been my major craving with this pregnancy and still going strong.
I still need to get bottles, bottle rack, more burp cloths, more diapers and wipes, more sleepers, blankets, etc. I really want a new dipe bag too. Just random things!

Every morning I wake up feeling like I have a bowling ball between my legs. Everything is popping in the morning to, wrists, ankles, back ect. He is still transverse so his movements are strong. I have no cravings other then eating something sweet after I eat. I still have to get his swing and rock n play. His room is set up and ready to go. I just have to pack my bag and put his carseat in. I am so excited to see this little guy!

We're sooooo cloooose!!!!
My current craving is a slushie, perhaps a coke slushie. First trimester I was all about slushie s lol
I'm actually soaking in the tub with my iPhone now. For the past week I wake up in unbelievable pain in one (usually my right) or both hips. Heartburn has officially taken over my life. Waking up to pee every hour has also made its return, and my belly is so heavy I wake up to turn over lol. Very swollen, very sore, very done.
As for being prepared... We totally aren't lol we got the basics, clothes (endless supply from 2 SIL), crib, boobs, carseat/stroller. We started the "moves" yesterday. DH and I have to move our room back downstairs, DD1 is getting our old room and LO will be getting her big sisters old room.
We're not really prepared as I was with DD1 tbh.. Have you ladies packed your hospital bags yet? I'm so excited!!! Sooo close to the finish line!!

I hurt like a bitch in my nether regions. SPD is awesome. I'm carrying pretty low, so I've got some awesome pressure and my vagina feels bruised. My back isn't hurting too bad, though. And no swelling. She's out of my lungs, now, since I'm carrying so low. But she still sticks her foot in my right rib. I've been having regular contractions for a few hours at a time for the last week and a half.
I have a few small things I need to grab. This is my 4th girl, so I've been pretty lax on buying a bunch cuz I realize they don't really need that much haha
And I want ice cream. Lots of ice cream. And ice to chew

I'm not as prepared as I was with DD1 but then again I had a baby shower so I really didn't need to get anything after all that! I got way more than we needed! We have everything we would need if she decided to come out tomorrow though lol so that's good enough for me. Plus I got the carseat installed and inspected already. Bag is not packed yet! I don't even know what I want her to wear home. Probably just a onesie with a sleeper over it and a hat

I still haven't either.. I should probably dig out DD1's old diaper bag and get to it :/

So basically we are all craving cold, icy things? In November....lol makes sense!! it's really not cold here though so I guess it could be considered not odd for me. South Florida and the lowest temps have been low 60's so far

Yeah. It's still hot here. We had a couple days in the 60s last week, but it's been in the mid to upper 80s for the most part.

I'm waiting till 36 weeks. The week of 36 weeks with my son, that Sunday I put the carseat in, got it checked by the fire department Monday, packed and put my bag in the car Tuesday met the pediatrician Tuesday and was at a regular appointment Wednesday, and had to be induced early. So im just going to wait this time. Lol.

Im struggling with protein in the urine right now levels are 350 if they raise higher more than likely they'll take her early which I don't want. I'm craving slushies too but thanks to my friend gestational diabetes I can't indulge lol I have pretty much everything could use some receiving blankets and a bouncer but that is about it, her crib is together, bedding is on, have diapers, wipes, clothes, hats, mittens, and about everything else including her going home outfit. Just trying to take it easy some contractions today but nothing timeable, hopefully she stops trying to come early

I'm due december 15th and I'm getting impatient! We have just about everything. The largest item we've yet to buy is a dresser for her clothes. My stretch marks are driving me insane. It's depressing, but my daughter will be here in a matter of weeks to keep my mind off it.

im due December 20th and i crave ice cream and otter pops. i have had alot of kidney pain for the last 2 weeks. brings me to tears sometimes. i finished my 7 days of meds for a uti, but the pain wont let up. so my dr is told me to go back to the hospital. i have no clue what is going on. My baby boy is very active though and doesnt seem to be effected at all. Besides that i am retaining a little water weight, no swollen feet, back and hip pain has let up alot (accept the kidney pain) but my teeth ache constantly! lol i cant wait to have this baby! this is my first

I'm due December 17th. I am actually feeling pretty awesome! I crave mashed potatoes ALL OF THE TIME! I haven't had too bad of a pregnancy. My first trimester was the worst. I was sick all day, every day. Now I hardly ever get sick. In my second trimester I was told I had a low lying placenta, but by 27 weeks, it had already moved. Baby's head is down & ready to go! My little man is extremely active & likes to kick anything I have sitting on my belly until it falls off. So far I haven't had any swelling, but my baxk & hips hurt like hell in the mornings! He has tons of clothes, he is set for the first year of his life. All I really have left to get is crib bedding & of course continue to stock up on diapers. I am so excited! He has my heart already & he isn't even here yet. <3
