I love seeing this thread pop back up with an update from OP! You have quite the cheering squad here! Best of luck!

I am so invested in this pregnancy. You’re doing an amazing job and all of your children are lucky to have you. Looking forward to following along in these last weeks. The longest month is lways the last month of pregnancy!

This is my favorite DCUM thread - thanks for the update OP, hope you keep feeling great!

thank you for the update OP, you rock! this month will be over before you know it

So excited for you and your upcoming arrival! I'll be thinking of you in the coming weeks.

Thanks for the update, OP! I hope the next few weeks go quickly and smoothly for you, and that the DC August weather treats you well. Here's to big pasta plans post-birth!

So glad to see this update, too. Homestretch!

This baby is lucky to have you, OP.

That is fantastic you have been able to keep your blood sugar under control. You're doing an amazing job - I hope you have someone assigned the task of bringing you that first big helping of pasta once your baby is here!

Keeping you in my thoughts for these last few weeks. I hope they go easily and quickly and your new little one is here before you know it.

Yup! All is well, the baby looks the same, and mercifully doesn't appear to be giant or anything. Thus far I've been able to keep my blood sugar under control with just diet, so keeping it together in that regard is my main priority right now. (That and planning all the carbs I'm going to eat once this is over - I've got big pasta plans!)

In other news, we found a very smart, kind, and experienced doula that we really like, one who's very familiar with our hospital, so we should be well taken care of. In terms of other baby prep, at this point it's pretty much the usual stuff you'd do for any baby - pre-washing the little outfits we received at our lovely shower, ordering supplies, setting up the bassinet, and so on. Apart from the uncertainty at what we'll discover in terms of a cause for the genitalia issue post-birth, everything feels quite normal at the moment.

Please wish me a quick final few weeks! Hoping this last month doesn't drag.

Thinking of you OP!

Thanks for the update! Glad to hear you’re managing well!

Thanks for the update, OP. You are absolutely on the cusp of a whole new stage of life: being done having babies is a big deal. We're thrilled with the kids we have and have zero desire for more, but that transition was bittersweet. Sending you all the best in your doula search and in these last weeks of pregnancy. Here's to staying cool!

Thanks for keeping us updated, OP. Hugs to you. Keeping you and your family in my thoughts.
