How are you feeling? Still tired and hungry a lot
What are you craving? Cheese! And pepperoni
What is grossing you out? Ground beef

Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? My next monthly appt is Dec 12 and my elective u/s is Dec 13! I go for my 2nd trimester bloodwork the first week of Dec.
Have you / will you found out the sex? We will find out

How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? We will start when we move into our new house. I just know elephants will be involved either way.

Natural Cycle (8/7/13)- BFP! Beta #1 (9/10/13): 509 Progesterone: 18.64 Beta #2 (9/12/13): 1118
Already Mommies:
Best part of your week? My parents were in town, so spending time with them and the rest of my family.
Worst part of your week? Zack wasn't sleeping well at the beginning of last week so I was exhaisted. Thankfully he's gone back to sleeping well the last three or four days.
Milestones? Zack is trying to sit up. It's cute, but a bit annoying because anytime you lay him down for even something like a diaper change or outfit change, he'll try to do a little sit up/crunch which makes it much more difficult.
PIP those kiddos!
QOTW - See M2B - I suck. Can you think of one?
.
When is your EDD? January 14th
How are you feeling? Tired. I was really sick yesterday with a stomach bug and I'm still recovering. Plus, we had our shower and diaper party yesterday too.
What are you craving? Nothing, food is really gross today. I barely want water.
What is grossing you out? Food.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Yep, a pile of stuff that needs to be gone through. :-) People were so generous yesterday!
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Appointment next week... they'll be looking to see if baby has moved out of transverse. Come on kid.
Have you / will you found out the sex? Nope, team green
Any names picked out? Just a boy name... we really need to get on a girl name
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? It has a crib in it! We've made progress... now, if the crib was assembled.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? Nah, I need to go into work, I took the morning off. I feel like a college kid recovering from a hangover.
Worst part of week: I've been having trouble keeping up with his bottle intake at DC.
Milestones: Hes sitting up unassisted. Still pretty wobbly but undeniable.
Here's my big boy!
B Born 6.27.13
How many weeks are you? 5w2d
When is your EDD? July 19
How are you feeling? Other than a little tired, completely normal.
What are you craving? Nothing in particular
What is grossing you out? Nada
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Novelty Christmas onesies I got from Zulily Friday!! Hahahaha.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? First appt will be Dec 3. It cannot come soon enough!
Have you / will you found out the sex? We definitely will.
Any names picked out? Nope.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? I'm leaning toward gray and yellow. Soft gray walls with light yellow accents. This way, it's not overwhelmingly boy or girl, and maybe we can get started on things before we find out the gender?
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? I keep reading that m/s in 1st tri is a great indicator of a healthy pregnancy. I've had ZERO m/s. I haven't been turned off to anything, whatsoever. I really don't even feel pregnant. I want to feel something so I know everything's all right in there until I go in for my first appt in a couple more weeks! Anyone want to share their experiences in that vein?
QOTW - I suck at thinking of questions. Can anyone think of one?? I got nothin'...sorry!

What are you craving? Chocolate.
What is grossing you out? Smells. Overwhelming smells.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? See the I can't win post. Oh, and we also put in an order for a wall piece that says, "Everything in life I share - Except, of course, my teddy bear!" I love this piece because I still have a special attachment to my teddy bear.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? A/S on Wednesday! EEEEEEE!!!
Have you / will you found out the sex? It's a girl!

How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Nursery color PIP coming soon. I am testing out our two color scheme - lavender and an even paler lavender accent for the walls with white furniture and green hints here and there.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? Nah. Just frustrated and not sure how to fix the step-mom sitch.
QOTW - I suck at thinking of questions. Can anyone think of one?? This is why I NEVER start posts that have a QQTW!
RIP Dr. Irving Fishman - 10/1/19-7/25/10 - thank you for holding on for me.
You made my wedding day complete.
Jenna is right about symptoms not showing up till 6w. But I didn't have ms till 16 weeks. I really had zero symptoms besides exhaustion in the first tri.

What are you craving? Nothing.
What is grossing you out? Nothing.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? I went to BRU with my mom yesterday and she bought LO several outfits, hangers, cloth diapers for burp clothes, and some feeding spoons for her house. A co-worker also gave me a really cute outfit she bought for LO this weekend.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Nothing until next week.

Any names picked out? Donald Paul - - we're trying to think of a nickname since MH is Donnie. We're thinking Donnie Paul, Donnie P, Don Paul. Not sure yet.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? It's still the guest room, but slowly being filled with bags of baby stuff.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? DH was so cute last week. He got to feel baby boy kick for a few days and then every time for a few days after that, there weren't any kicks for him. He was so bummed every night that he didn't get to feel him. That's since been resolved. Any time we're just sitting on the couch watching TV, DH will sit with his hand on my belly hoping to feel him. It's the cutest thing.

@LuckyAngel07 - Thanks. Nope, the kids were just dressed up for their cousin's Baptism this weekend.
And also don't worry about not having morning sickness, just enjoy it and hope it stays away. With both of my kids I was lucky and did not have a day of morning sickness, food aversions, or queasiness. The only symptom I showed in the beginning was exhaustion.
.
When is your EDD? January 19
How are you feeling? Ridiculously uncomfortable. Baby has a new favorite game called, "Simultaneously punch mommy in the belly button and scoot my butt into her bladder." He does this at least once an hour. Other than that, I feel good. No nausea, I'm a little sore but nothing I can't handle and I'm sleeping better - at least until he starts his game at 6am, lol.
What are you craving? Root beer. Specifically root beer floats. My mom tried to tell me that there's aspartame in soda and that I shouldn't drink it. I told her that the baby says it's okay lol
What is grossing you out? OMG. This week I literally almost threw up all over myself because MIL has brought out her Christmas potpourri. It smells like pine needles. She gets a real Christmas tree too. I'm going to need a gas mask this December... So gross.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? So... DH and I may or may not have spent $130 on Penn State clothes for LO. We went in to purchase his "going home" outfit and came out with... More than that... Lol. See below.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Next appt is the 25th. They are doing another ultrasound to check position and growth (I easily could just tell them he's still breech. When I lean back, I can feel his head. He's moved it from the left to the right. Lol) We had a 3D ultrasound done which I posted pictures of last week.
Have you / will you found out the sex? beautiful baby boy
Any names picked out? The tentative name we've picked out is Jonathan David Walter. I say tentative because DH tends to change his mind (remember when he told me he was positive about Logan? Ha!). DH wants to call him Jack (which is a nickname for John, not Jonathan, but whatever). My only hesitation is the double middle name, but Walter is to honor my grandfather and David is after DH per family tradition. We are currently on the fence about being One and Done.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? We have progress! We have chosen the paint colors and DH is is having our family friend who is a contractor come in and replace the door to the nursery (it currently doesn't close. It's an old wooden slab door that the previous owner painted over and it isn't flush) and put up a chair rail and crown molding. Painting is being done this weekend as well. Pictures of what it'll look like are below.
My aunt also just purchased the baby's dresser and it is being delivered this week. We just need to purchase the glider and all the furniture is set. Just needs to be put together!
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? Just a question: Does anyone who ISN'T/WASN'T diagnosed with GD have trouble controlling their blood sugar while pregnant? I passed my glucose test (I got a 97, passing is anything lower than 135 for my OB). Over the past few days, even if I've eaten in the past 30 minutes, my blood sugar will dramatically drop and I'll start sweating and feeling shaky. Even if I eat again, it usually lasts a while longer. I'm going to talk to my doctor about it, just didn't know if anyone had experience
.
How many weeks are you? 34 Weeks 1Day

**TC Buddy Tygress_Luv111908**
When is your EDD? 7/16/14
How are you feeling? Crummy. I'm not nauseous, but I feel like I'm about to gag pretty much all the time. I made some ginger candy, which helps a little, but it's gross.
What are you craving? boneless buffalo wings (and I RARELY eat fried foods)
What is grossing you out? eggs
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Kind of. Part of DH's Christmas gift will be a onesie with Darth Vador that says "Who's your daddy?" And one with Jack Skellington that says "Daddy's Little Nightmare" (Obvi DH is a Star Wars and Nightmare Before Christmas geek)
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? First appointment is December 5th. Can't wait!
Have you / will you found out the sex? Still on the fence. DH wants to.
Any names picked out? A few; we have a running list that will be updated often.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Just started thinking about it. I like the idea of something neutral even if we find out the gender. Right now I'm kind of obsessed with light grey chevrons with either turquoise or periwinkle accents. We also bought a wall decal that says "All because two people fell in love." I didn't want to buy it so soon but DH made me in case we can't find it again. Plus, I had a 50% off coupon.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? Not at the moment
QOTW - I suck at thinking of questions. Can anyone think of one?? Looks like we're going QOTW-less this week cuz I got nothin!
6 months old now! 16 lbs
How many weeks are you? 34 weeks.
When is your EDD? 12/30/13
How are you feeling? Slightly uncomfortable, but pretty good overall.
What are you craving? Still all the food. This has pretty much lasted my whole pregnancy. Well, my whole life, really
What is grossing you out? Nothing.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? We had our shower a couple of weekends ago, and got a bunch of stuff. We'll probably head out this coming weekend to get the last few things we need.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Regular appointment on Wednesday. Only two more weeks until the weekly appointments start, which is messing with my head!
Have you / will you found out the sex? It's a girl!
Any names picked out? Sigh. No, we still don't have a name!
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? It's almost done. We painted three of the walls cream, with a purple accent wall behind the crib. The accents are a bright green color, like the bedding, etc. The art is purchased and framed, and just needs to be hung. We'll probably get some shelves this weekend too, to display some books and stuffed animals. Everything else is organized and put away in the drawers and closet. We have a lot of other stuff left to do, but I feel good about the nursery at least
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? Nope!

We had a crabby day as a family on Saturday and it sucked. Also, I am having some weird abdominal pain that is concerning. It was severe last night but is mild to moderate this morning.
Ava Nichol is working on words so hard. Shesays popcorn, waddle waddle waddle for penguin, button and buckle (all new this week) She points at tthings and wants to know the words for them and then tries to say the word after you say it.

How are you feeling? I hurt. A lot. I think carpal tunnel has set in and my wrists and fingers hurt quite a bit, especially in the mornings. I'm going to talk to my doctor about what I can do tomorrow, but I'm afraid there's not much I can do besides have this baby.
What are you craving? Nothing.
What is grossing you out? Nothing.

BFP #5: 3/25/2015: EDD: 12/8/2015.
@LuckyAngel07 I have a perfectly healthy 18 month old who gave me no morning sickness whatsoever. LO #2 hasn't been too bad either and seems to be doing just fine. It's probably still too early for m/s, but if you don't get it at all just embrace it and be happy.

Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Have an appointment tomorrow to see how my amniotic fluid level is doing and whether the change in diet did the trick.
Have you / will you found out the sex? team green
Any names picked out? nope, everytime I ask DH when we're going to figure this out he shrugs me off. I have first names picked out more or less if he's going to be an ass.

Anything else you would like to add or PIP?
QOTW - I suck at thinking of questions. Can anyone think of one??
Already Mommies:
Best part of your week? Nothing special really, just lots of fun giggles last night.
Worst part of your week? Nothing bad, she didn't nap well yesterday and didn't go to bed well Saturday night, but both were fine.
Milestones? Hmmm.......nothing too earth shattering lately. She can almost say Echo (the dog's name) but it comes out Decko. She's learning to be more gentle with Echo and her dolls, and she's climbing more.
PIP those kiddos!
QOTW - See M2B - I suck. Can you think of one?
Worst part of your week? K is still has not slept through the night. It looks like her tooth is on verge of breaking through, but I feel like I have been saying that for a few weeks now.

For Mommies-to-be:
