October Mamacitas!

Hola ladies! How are you September/October/November Mama's feeling??

I'll be 34 weeks on Tuesday - Due October 21st. I'm feeling pretty good most days! Super large Marge status but generally good lol. We got all of our bambino "supplies" and the car seat and the diaper bag just got delivered yesterday!

Any body else getting anxious/excited to meet their baby? I feel so close and yet so far away lol. Praying these last 6 weeks go smoothly! :)

I'm 33 weeks and 2 days,  due October 23rd with my first! I am so excited!  I love going into her nursery.  We are waiting for the last piece of furniture to arrive; the rocking chair. I finished packing our hospital bags today. I have been feeling okay up until this week. I have a head cold/virus and it is really draining me. I have no energy and cannot breath! Ugh I just want to feel better already. Other than that I get some pain in my belly when im standing for a while. Hoping these last few weeks fly by!

I am 31 weeks +2 days.  My energy is doing pretty good but I am struggling with gestational diabetes.  No matter what I do, my blood sugar is just a little high.  I have only gained 4 lbs.  Work is hard though because I have spd and hicks contractions everytime I do anything.  Doctor says call if there is more than 6 an hour, but if I keep working they are constant.

Bambinomiracle~ yep we started the nursery.  It looks so cute so far.  All the furniture is white and we kept everything very neutral since we are keeping the gender a surprise.  Have You started your nursery?  

That really ***** about your weight.  I gained 13 pounds my last appt but I think I put more weight on now.  I have been craving sweets and I have been trying to control it but it's hard.  I Have such a bad sweet tooth.  :/. I Can't wait to do some intense cardio as well when baby is born. Aww That's really sweet that your husband is so supportive. My husband is really sweet as well.  . He calls me a gorgeous momma and that makes me feel better :).

Oh Schmalzy! How exciting! I bet they turned out incredible. You're gunna cherish those forever! :) do you have a nursery set up? Or in the process?
Thank you, I'm so overwhelmed by it. :( I have made some major diet changes in hope of doing anything I can to counteract the gain. I've been walking over a mile every morning but nothing is seeming to help stop it. I am so thankful that my man is so supportive about it and doesn't make me feel like a whale. I swear he is what's getting my through. I can't wait to start doing intense cardio as soon as I can after she is born.

Bambinomiracle~ My maternity pictures went awesome.  My sister is a photographer and she did them for me. She had some really cute different ideas.  She is working on them right now so I haven't seen the final pictures yet but i did see the first copies and they are adorable! :).

Hope you figure out what's going on about your weight gain.

Jenny - oh man I can't imagine how you're doing that with what little energy we have towards the end. We're also very close in due dates. Yay! I feel like the final stretch is the hardest. I'm doing my best not to complain to my man about every ache and pain I feel but man oh man some days this baby totally kicks my a$$ lol.

Oh how exciting Mamas! I am having major concerns about my weight gain. I just switched doctors (closer in location) and still I am not getting a sense of urgency about my severe weight gain. They are gunna do some blood work Monday to make sure there isn't anything specific causing it. Other than that things are going smoothly!
Bryce - hang in there, you are soooo close! I'm sure you are just wishing it was over! Some days I literally cry because I feel so huge and I have no control over it lol. Is this your first?
Mama6hijos? - you are too cute! You sound so organized and top of everything! That's awesome! Glad you're feeling so great, we are so close in due dates! Keep me posted!
Schmalzy - awwww how did the maternity pictures go? So much is happening for you thia month, I bet you are so excited! You sound so happy!

Oh man I'm 34+4 and due October 14th and so ready. My little man hurts me when he moves and I can't imagion getting bigger. Everyone already says Wow your ready any day. My legs are killing me all the time and we recently moved so now I go up and down stairs a lot. I'm constantly on my feet. I wish my hubby would take care of the kids sometimes but he doesn't. I don't know yet how I'm going to deal with a 2 yr old and a new baby.

I'm glad you are doing good Bambinomiracle! I've been feeling really good lately too. Don't even feel pregnant except for baby is kicking me like crazy, my baby bump growing and occasional heart burn lol.  I got my maternity pictures done last week, 3d ultrasound tomorrow and baby shower the end of the month!  Very excited! You only have 6 more weeks to go! That's awesome! How very exciting!  I've got 12 weeks left!  Hope It goes fast for both of us and we will be cuddling our sweet babies soon! :)

Oh yes.....Desperately trying to pass these last few weeks by, fast as possible!!! I am 33 weeks and 2 days! Due October the 23rd but have my 7th cesarean delivery scheduled for the 17th of October. I am constantly looking at my baby's (boy) nursery...Fixing pictures that are hung up (some reason they look crooked every day) lol But between you and me (our little secret, so don't tell anyone lol :-)) I also often have to touch and smell his baby items. Lol!! Crazy me!! I also still put the smaller outfits up to my belly and even look in the mirror while doing it!!! My (I really want my baby) confession of the day!!! :-) :-) :-) :-) My other children are constantly asking when their brother will "come out" and when the doctor is going to "cut my belly", because they have no more patience..lol!! Kids!! Hold on mamaita....we are so close!!!!!!
