Re: Mom and Mommy to be Monday
How many weeks are you? 10w5d
When is your EDD? 5/15/14
How are you feeling? Soooo tired! I took a nap yesterday and got enough sleep last night and still have zero energy today!
What are you craving? Nothing right now.
What is grossing you out? Rotisserie chicken and the smell of paprika
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? No
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? I have my NT scan on Friday!
Have you / will you found out the sex? Yes, we will.
Any names picked out? Kind of.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? We won't start until we move into our new house.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? Not at the moment.

~TTC Buddies with akcrrr and amandaf6383~
Natural Cycle (8/7/13)- BFP! Beta #1 (9/10/13): 509 Progesterone: 18.64 Beta #2 (9/12/13): 1118
Best Part of Week-we went to a family friend's bday party and there were 17 mo twins and a 13 mo old. Ava Nichol doesn't have the opportunity to play with kiddos around her age often (she has one 2 yo friend in our play date group). She had a blast! She is also the little police officer telling the other kiddos No No all the time so they won't touch a laptop or get into things!
Worst part of week-We had a pretty good week. Maybe the panicked feeling I get whenever I wake up before Ava Nichol. I wish I could just appreciate sleeping in but I always wake up and think "oh no did I sleep through her cries" and "is she okay"
Milestones-I'm super excited because Ava Nichol is trying to learn new words. She points to things and wants to know the word for it and she tries to imitate the words she wants to know. She knows her colors and is working on the words to go with them. It is tough because green is her favorite but she has no idea how to make the Gr sound.
QOTW-Ava Nichol will be dressing up as boo from Monster's Inc. We live in a little community and they are having a party on Saturday bight at the clubhouse so we will check that out. Then we will do a little trick or treating on Halloween and we are hosting a Halloween party Friday Nov 1st. I hope that we continue to host Halloween parties for Ava Nichol's friends

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.
