Major struggle... mostly with sweets. :-\ That seems to be all I want most of the time. I just try to snack here and there and not go overboard (moderation is key) but I have my bad moments, that's for sure!

Thanks @jgrod! :-) :-) :-)

Hello everyone - hope everyone is movin' right along! Hit 35 weeks today and had an ultrasound because I've been measuring small. Baby girl is healthy looking, but in the 14th percentile at 4 lbs. 11 oz. (approx.). So, we're going to do a follow up u/s in a couple of weeks to see if she's improved at all... and I'm supposed to lay on my left side for an hour, two times per day to help stimulate and promote growth. Hopefully she grows enough to keep them satisfied, but not too much that I'm regretting wishing for that just teasing!... but really!! haha

@ajzmann - that is forever the on-going issue. Never have a big enough house when baby comes along! This is #2 for us, and we are struggling to fit all of our son's stuff/toys most of the time! That's fun though - glad your shower went well and you got most if not all of what you need!!

Definitely in the homestretch... and THAT feels great!! Sleep over here hasn't been so great lately. My two year old is prepping us for a newborn I think and has not been sleeping through the night. We were up with him for over 2.5 hours last night and when one of us wasn't in there, he was screaming!! Ugh... not fun at all! Hopefully he gets over this phase before baby comes, don't think I can handle two kiddos waking up at night! :-\

The weather here has been pretty nice as well... I'm in the St. Louis area, so it would be fairly similar! However, I have NOT been taking advantage like you have, and I will probably regret that because those days are so few since we tend to skip right over to winter!

Ah, @jgrodzicki, sending good healthy vibes to you and baby!

NST = non-stress test, right? What does that entail?

And four weeks...HOME STRETCH!

I hit 33 weeks today, and definitely feel myself growing more and faster. It's kinda crazy to think I have 7 more weeks to get bigger!

It's been so quiet over here... maybe there have been a couple of births already??

I will be 38 weeks on Thursday, and I've gained right at 20 lbs. Baby is still measuring small, so I've been advised to continue to lay on my left side in my spare time or at least 2 hours per day. Thank goodness I only have ~two weeks left!!

Hope everyone else is doing well!

My doc is the same way, @ajzmann - the only reason I am getting ultrasounds now is because my belly has been measuring pretty small for how far along I am... with my first, I didn't have any ultrasounds after the anatomy scan at 20 weeks. This one, I've had two big ultrasounds (once at almost 35 weeks and another yesterday at almost 38 weeks) to check her weight... and also weekly biophysical ultrasounds to check her fluid levels. It's a pain... but I do get to see her every week, which is nice! It's just a lot when trying to work to the end too... I had/have three appointments this week alone!

I never really got into exercising like I wanted to... and now I'm dealing more with being unable to eat because there isn't as much room in there! So, I'm fine with my weight gain - just need the peanut to gain some weight now

OMG @jgrodzicki!!! So exciting! Sending good healthy vibes to you and baby. Post a photo when you're up for it!

Will be thinking of you!

@jgrodzicki...was thinking of you yesterday! Can't wait to see photos of that baby!

How're all of the other November mommies? I'm definitely starting to feel some low back pain due to my belly, but MOST nights I can get a decent night's sleep. Working out still isn't really much of a priority. I feel like sleep is more important right now!

Hope you all are feeling well!

Hey ajzmann, I'm following this thread. My due date is today, so I've always known there was a chance my baby girl may arrive in November and have kept tabs on this groups' happenings.

Congratulations jgrodzicki on your baby girl!
