    How are you feeling? I feel OK. tired, nauseous sometimes, but otherwise OK.

    When is your EDD? Suppose to be June 5th, but who knows

    What is grossing you out? The thought of chicken breast or a whole chicken. I've eaten cut up chicken fine, but even thinking about a breast or whole chicken sounds disgusting!

  • Thanks for posting, @wiggyslilsis.  I'm so distracted today!

    For Mommies-to-be: 

    How many weeks are you?  16w2d

    When is your EDD?  April 5th

    How are you feeling?  Pretty good, just tired.

    What are you craving?  I'm not really craving anything...but Nacho Cheese Doritos have been eaten every day for the last week.  ;)

    What is grossing you out?  Nothing.

    Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately?  Nope.

    Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments?  n/a

    Have you / will you found out the sex?  Two weeks from today!!!!

    Any names picked out?  Donald Paul or Elizabeth Claire......though, while I was hanging out with my mom and aunt this weekend, we were talking about silly names we've come across while working and I think I may start telling people we're going to name this kid Pepsi Lyn or Sissie Pie.

    How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? 
      It's still the guest room, but we bought a new corner desk for our office/soon-to-be new guest room.  That was the first step towards getting things organized and rearranged.

    Anything else you would like to add or PIP? 
    Nope

    QOTW-Halloween is next week. What do you have planned? Any traditions you are keeping and hoping to start?  The only tradition we currently have is the family Halloween party.  I'm sure we'll start traditions once LO is here.

  • Best part of your week?  For the first time I spent an entire day away from E. It was actually really nice to have some space and time for myself. E did really well too which was a HUGE relief. He did not want me to put him down once I got home though. Guess he missed me.

    Worst part of your week?  I have a cold which really knocked the energy out of me. I've been so exhausted and unfortunately E hasn't been sleeping great either.

    QOTW-Halloween is next week. Is LO dressing up? Yep- he is Fox  in Socks. We actually went with a theme and DH and I also have Dr. Seuss character costumes.

    Trick or Treating? Not really. We went Trick or Treating at the zoo and we will do another similar pre-Halloween event, but we won't take him out on Halloween itself. I don't really feel the need to show him off to our neighbors and he tends to go to bed pretty early anyway. I will just enjoy passing out candy and admiring all the costumes of the kiddos that come to our house.

    Any traditions you are keeping or hoping to start? We did the family themed costumes this year, but I don't really foresee that happening again. I don't have any special traditions for Halloween. I do think we'll probably continue to go to the pre-Halloween events each year. I enjoy them. 


    I could hold you for a million years
    To make you feel my love.

    For Mommies-to-be: 

    How many weeks are you? 29w5d

    When is your EDD? 1/1/2014

    How are you feeling? Pretty good, actually. I went to see my family for four days and it was a nice little vacation.

    What are you craving? Nothing.

    What is grossing you out? Nothing. Though smells are starting to get to me lately. I just noticed in the past few days that I can smell ALL THE THINGS. And if it's the smell of a dirty diaper or something, I do get a little queasy.

    Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? My sisters threw me a surprise baby shower on Sunday! It was just the sisters, sisters-in-law, nieces, and my mom, but it was super fun and I got a couple of blankets, onesies, washcloths, etc. My parents also bought our crib and it should be here in a few weeks!

    Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? I have an ultrasound tomorrow to check on the placement of my placenta. It was low lying at my anatomy scan, so they want to make sure it moved up.

    Have you / will you found out the sex? It's a girl.

    Any names picked out? Elle Rose

    How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? I haven't really started yet, but will in the next few weeks.

    Anything else you would like to add or PIP? Not today.

    QOTW-Halloween is next week. What do you have planned? Any traditions you are keeping and hoping to start? We decorated our house and it's super cool (I think). It's hard to get a picture of it because you lose the effect in the daytime, but I'll try to get a good picture of it sometime. We also might go to a Halloween party on Saturday.

  • Best part of your week? K has really started to find her voice and she has started with the cutest little laugh.  It's so great getting to see her personality start coming through.  I also ran 3 miles yesterday and it felt really good t oget back into working out.

    Worst part of your week? I left work early last week because I've had a bad cough.  I'm finally starting to feel a little better.

    Milestones? We got to hear K's first giggle last night.  Loved every second of it!


    QOTW-Halloween is next week. Is LO dressing up? She's going to be a peacock Trick or Treating? Not this year.  We may just take her for a walk during T/T time if it's not too cold. Any traditions you are keeping or hoping to start? Probably not for Halloween.

  • For Mommies-to-be: 

    How many weeks are you? 32 weeks and some change

    When is your EDD? EDD is 12/13 

    How are you feeling? Pretty spent. I'm all belly and it puts a lot of strain on my back, ribs and legs. 

    What are you craving? Drinks. I have this thirst I CANNOT quench so I'm constantly drinking but I hate water and sweet drinks gross me out but I drink whatever I can.

    What is grossing you out? I'm not a big fan of any food lately.

    Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? I just got two bags full of newborn clothes. With my first, I thought I was too good for hand me downs, then she came and grew and grew and I thanked the heavens that I had a friend with an older daughter and I'm all about the hand me downs!

    Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? I'm down to bi-weekly visits so I have a regular visit next week.

    Have you / will you found out the sex? 'Tis a little lad.

    Any names picked out? Yes.

    How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? We really need to decide on what he's going to sleep in. Crib? Rock n Play? I don't want to start off bedsharing. I also would like a rocker. 

    QOTW-Halloween is next week. What do you have planned? Any traditions you are keeping and hoping to start? We'll just trick or treat around the neighborhood and carve pumpkins this week.


    Already Mommies: 

    Best part of your week? My daughter's party. 

    Worst part of your week? Prepping for her party. I was exhausted and realizing that her bond with her dad is pretty strong and will only get stronger as I get bigger and then my focus turns on my son. I miss being her number one but know that I can't be selfish and hog her...right?! 

    Milestones? Her vocab grows everyday and seeing her blossom into a little lady melts my freakin' heart. 

    QOTW-Halloween is next week. Is LO dressing up? Trick or Treating? Any traditions you are keeping or hoping to start? She'll be a fairy for her class party.

  • How many weeks are you? 26 weeks

    When is your EDD? 2/05/14 (I will be checking to see if it's changed at my next appt., since they've changed how far along I am a few times.)

    How are you feeling? Very tired, and I've been getting some acid reflux.

    What are you craving? Fruit, and comfort foods

    What is grossing you out? Meat, especially pork that my H made last night. I was so nauseous from smelling it.

    Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Nope

    Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? I go in tomorrow, I believe for blood work and glucose test. Then another appt. next Tuesday.

    Have you / will you found out the sex? Girl

    Any names picked out? Not yet

    QOTW-Halloween is next week. What do you have planned? Any traditions you are keeping and hoping to start? I'm just planning on being comfy, drink hot chocolate, and make it a movie night.

    What is grossing you out? Nothing.

    Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Not exactly, but I'm stalking my registry ;)

    Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Appointment on Wednesday including u/s to check babies' fluid. Baby boy had higher fluid than our girl last time, and even though both were in the normal range, they want to keep an eye on it. Rhogam shot at appt too.

    Have you / will you found out the sex? b/g twins

    Any names picked out? sigh...no

    How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? We still need a glider and something to put on the walls.

    QOTW-Halloween is next week. What do you have planned? Any traditions you are keeping and hoping to start? I'll be working, so no festivities for me. Maybe DH will hand out candy, but we won't get more than 5 kids anyway so it seems pointless.

  • Best part of your week? I took L to a baby shower on Saturday. I was worried he'd be a disaster because he skipped his nap but he was a happy baby and managed a 20 minute nap on my lap when the M2B opened her gifts. Everyone complimented on how good a baby he was :)

    Milestones? L started babbling last week. He says "Ma Ma" all the time :)

  • How many weeks are you? - 38w5d

    When is your EDD? - October 30th!

    How are you feeling? - This morning was rough. I stayed up way later than usual to watch the end of the Colts vs. Broncos game and I kept waking up (even more than usual) once I did go to bed. I woke up feeling really nauseous and crampy and just stood in the middle of our bedroom and cried. Lol

    What are you craving? - Nothing really.

    What is grossing you out? - The idea of orange juice still doesn't sound great. It's given me heart burn.

    Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? - My MIL bought us a rocker at an auction and she is reupholstering it for us!

    Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? - Weekly appt tomorrow morning.

    Have you / will you found out the sex? - baby boy!!

    Any names picked out? - Baby W

    How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? - All done! Ready and waiting for LO.

    Anything else you would like to add or PIP? - AW: Officially in the single digits to our due date! 9 days! And 12 to induction if he isn't here by then.

    QOTW-Halloween is next week. What do you have planned? Any traditions you are keeping and hoping to start? - No plans... DH isn't crazy about scary movies but I'm going to rent some anyway and get a Papa Murphy's probably. I would love to pass out candy but our dog goes wild when someone knocks/rings the bell so that's too annoying to do. When LO is older I would love to have traditions with him like baking/decorating Halloween cookies, trick or treating, etc.
