How are all the pregnant ladies? I'm hanging in there. I've really been packing on the pounds these last few weeks though. After being better about watching my weight gain the whole pregnancy, it's upsetting when I see myself letting my eating habits go to shit these last few weeks. I still won't gain 55+ pounds like I did last time, but was hoping to keep it to 30-35 and have already hit 35. Oh well.

I feel physically ready for Kate/Katie to make her arrival (we are not set on a nickname yet) but mentally I'm not ready at all. My c/s is scheduled for 3/20, so she'll be here in 19 days or less whether I'm ready or not!

Kenna...when are we going to see pics of your new little guy?

I'm very relieved and happy about my weight gain. My c/s is in 25 days and I've gained 17 pounds so far.

I think we are mostly ready. We finally bought the Pack-n-Play we will use in our room, and got the carseat. We still need to register at the hospital though and do the tour.

We are not sure on her middle name. Dh keeps prodding me about it, but I'm just so tired of thinking about it. Eh.

These last few weeks are going to go by so fast! Shocked

Melissa, are you still going with Peyton for her first name? I love it!

We didn't even bother with a hospital tour this time even though this is a new hospital for us. Every time I called to schedule a tour I was on hold forever and eventually gave up. I was already at L&D last month because of contractions & cervical pressure so I know where to go Very Happy

No Peyton! Once I discovered there is a cult following of Peyton's in TN I abandoned that name quickly. Her name is Paige. Very Happy

I've never even been to this hospital. We need to MapQuest it and figure out where it is. Razz

I'm 30 weeks and hanging in there. They are predicting that each baby is close to five pounds, so I'm hauling around a lot of baby! I can't really get around and am on bedrest right now. I need to register at the hospital and I'd like to take a tour but don't know if I can walk very far to do it. They are probably moving my cesarean up to April 10. They are getting concerned about two large babies straining my old c scar too much.

Melissa! Find the freaking hospital already! Shocked

I am doing fine. I am 33 1/2 weeks now so still have some time to prepare. My only complaint is extremem fatigue which is probably due to anemia but the iron pills really F up my stomach now so I am bad about taking them.

If I may say, even if I have hideous varicose veins and am a big fattie.. my boobs look fabulous! I am normally flat as anything and now they are actual BOOBS. Whoo hoo! cheers

Melissa, I like Paige even better.

I'm allowed to get up as I can. I'm just finding that more and more, I can't do much. My dr said to listen to what my body is saying and modify my bedrest accordingly.
