DS delivered naturally at 41w6d on 4/18/14
When is your EDD? 1/14
How are you feeling? Okay, huge.... is feeling huge an option? I can no longer bend over. I'm tired from not sleeping through the night. I'm super anxious too. I've had a few contractions, but nothing major... they go away when I lay down.
What are you craving? Chinese food. I want all the salt in the world.
What is grossing you out? Eggs. Blech.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? I bought a changing pad cover yesterday and today I'm going to BRU to buy some breastfeeding supplies to have on hand. I also picked up a cute outfit from Target on clearance. I may pick up a baby book too. My SIL brought us a baby swing on Saturday.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? 35 week appointment tomorrow. We get to talk about Pre-E, because I'm being flagged for being at high risk for it... After 2, 24 hour urine collections that showed slightly elevated protein levels. I'm also going to be asking about our options if baby doesn't/hasn't moved out of being transverse. Thank goodness H is going with me...my anxiety is going to be out of control.
Have you / will you found out the sex? Nope. I'm saying boy. I don't know why.
Any names picked out? Just a boy name... a girl name cannot be decided upon.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? It's painted, the crib is in H's car waiting for one of the guys to come help him unload it... the changing table is ready for action and my bookshelf/closet is almost completed. I just need to go to Lowe's and buy a closet rod and put clothes on it!
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? I have a working phone again! Hooray!
LO's age-20 1/2 months
Best part of week-Ava Nichol had a blast putting ornaments on the tree and she is really getting into the advent calendar. I am loving celebrating with her this year!
Worst part of week-I have not been feeling well at all lately and DH told me I haven't been myself in a couple weeks and he told me I had a shorter fuse with Ava Nichol. Made me feel like an awful mother and I just want to know what is wrong with me.
Milestones-Nothing big this week. I think she is learning what numbers mean. She can give you two or three of something so she definitely knows what those two mean. I don't know why she won't say or do one of anything it has to be two.

We just recently got new carpet in all the rooms except the room that will be a boy nursery. I don't know why we didn't get carpet in there when we did the other rooms but it is badly needed!

What is grossing you out? Nothing.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Um nope!
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? I have my monthly checkup tomorrow. woohooo. you go from seeing the baby every week with the RE to nothing for 3 weeks and it’s torture!
Have you / will you found out the sex? Yes! hopefully I’ll get to schedule my a/s tomorrow

How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? I’ve got nothing. Our ‘nursery’ is currently storing all my Christmas presents/wrapping paper…and so forth
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? I don’t know why people don’t realize that it’s just as hurtful to tell a pregnant woman she looks small or isn’t showing at all, as it is to tell them it looks like they’re having twins! I had multiple people telling me on Saturday night that I didn’t look pregnant at all or that it actually looked like I had lost weight.
