What are you craving? Nothing specific
What is grossing you out? Nada, thank God!
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Absolutely not
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Another u/s and more b/w on Wednesday at the RE's, and then I think they'll release me back my regular OB!
Have you / will you found out the sex? We will definitely find out the sex.
Any names picked out? Not at all.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Gray walls is about as far as I've definitely decided, but it's still our home office and a mess, so there will be no progress here until that's been cleared out!
B/w 1/8: betas 17,345, progesterone 25.6
How many weeks are you? 20 weeks 5 days
When is your EDD? May 28, 2014
How are you feeling? Really good!
What are you craving? Nothing, I’m always hungry
What is grossing you out? Not a thing! Err dirty people, but I think we’re talking about food.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? I did order a custom mattress for a crib that MIL is giving us.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? 20week u/s and A/S last week went well. Next u/s is 2/5
Have you / will you found out the sex? Baby is BOY!!
Any names picked out? Little man will be a junior, so Bernard (Bear) Bruce

<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? On Sunday my husband looked at me and was like I think your belly grew last night…..um honey, this is only the beginning of the growing belly!
The Rowdy Roberts
When is your EDD? January 14th. Tomorrow. Yikes.
How are you feeling? Ehh. I called off work after hardly sleeping last night due to cramping. It literally felt like the worst period cramps ever... I'm hoping it means I'm going into labor soon. They've disappeared for the most part, except when they happen randomly and catch me off guard.
What are you craving? A baby. Food wise... grilled cheese and hot sauce.
What is grossing you out? Nothing, all of my aversions have officially left.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Nope, I'm done until LO arrives so I can go buy cute clothes that aren't yellow and green.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Appointment tomorrow. They're going to check my BP, tell me not have salt the rest of the day and then admit me Tuesday night to induce me. I'm really hoping that I've made some progress with dilating... I also have another ultrasound and an NST scheduled. Poor DH is going to be really bored.
Have you / will you found out the sex? Hopefully will find that out in the next 72 hours.
Any names picked out? Avery Elizabeth and Patrick Scott
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? It's basically done except for some little things... I need a mirror hung and a shelf hung. There's some stuff on the floor, but the major stuff it completed.
When is your EDD? 8/3/13
How are you feeling? I'm feeling more human than not recently, hoping it keeps going. Still very tired and food is just hard. I'm really missing running but it seems so daunting... I might try this weekend? Who knows. I've had this mental goal of feeling good enough to run again once I'm to 12 weeks.
What are you craving? Nothing.
What is grossing you out? Random things. Meat, greasy foods, nuts, veggies, and for sure any Asian or any strong ethnic food. Lunch time in the office is torture. Also, food that I'm SO excited to eat just doesn't taste good anymore! So disappointing
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Nope
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? We have our first monthly appt on Wednesday, and I'm really looking forward to hearing the heartbeat again.
Have you / will you found out the sex? Yes!
Any names picked out? Not yet...
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? I don't even know what style I like best yet, definitely still in the 'inspiration seeking' stage

How are you feeling? EXHAUSTED! Man, I thought I was tired before... I took two naps yesterday and still fell asleep on the couch by 9!
What are you craving? Sugar and spicy things
What is grossing you out? hard boiled eggs, chicken salad, and the smell of beer
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? My step son is a huge Steelers fan, so we bought a bib for him to give to the baby, hoping it would get him a little more excited.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Next appt Feb 15, a/s Feb 20!
Have you / will you found out the sex? Leaning towards yes
Any names picked out? We have some favorites, but are still open to changes.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? No nursery til we know where we'll be living. I'm thinking grey chevrons/patterns with pops of turquoise or purple.

Already Mommies
LOs Age(s): 2 weeks
Best part of your week? All of it! I love having her here and getting squishy cuddles... And I love seeing DH with her. It makes my heart burst.
Worst part of your week? Probably last night. She had a feeding at 11:00 and would not settle until after 3 AM. Then she was up every 1.5 hours for more feedings. I feel dead.
Milestones? She hit her hospital discharge weight and we're done with weight checks now
PIP those kiddos!
...hello out there!
dx with anovulatory PCOS 2005
off bcp 11/11
a few rounds of clomid and femara... no response.
injectables/IUI 12/12... BFN
Feb 13 IVF cycle converted down to IUI due to low follicle response... BFFN
one last IVF attempt April/May 2013: 19 retrieved. 10 fertilized. 2 transferred in a 3dt. 4 frosties... BFP!!
EDD: 1/21/14... Induced early at 36+6. Our LO was born 12/30/13
LO's age: Almost 2 (21 months)
Best Part of Week-Lots of random loves from the little miss. I love when she just gives me a squeeze or a kiss or even blows me a kiss just because. I tear up every time.
Worst Part of Week-Definitely my anxiety amping up and leading to a panic attack last night. I have lost hope of figuring out what was wrong. I feel like I am being pushed back into doing the lupron depot shot because it made me feel better in the sense of all my issues but I really don't want to do it again. It was awful
Milestones-She has discovered that other people have a mommy or a daddy or a baby and had been identifying family units. And she says I big girl while raising her hands in the air. Oh and we have started potty training. No luck yet but she likes sitting on the potty.

How are you feeling? I stayed home from work today because literally everything hurts, I can't breathe, my belly is horribly tight, and LOs movements are now really abrasive and pinch. I think we are both fed up and uncomfortable. Sweet baby Jesus, someone get this kid out! I want my outside baby!
What are you craving? Nada
What is grossing you out? Nothing
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? DH and I realized the other night that we had no NB sized pants for him, so we bought a few pairs.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Appt tomorrow at 8:50am. We are supposed to discuss the possibility of induction if I haven't progressed since last appointment. Because of his size, they don't want me going too far passed my EDD.
Have you / will you found out the sex? Baby Boy!
Any names picked out? We are back to square one.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Finished! It's a teddy bears and stars theme
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? Today is my nephew's 3rd birthday. A few weeks ago, he told me that the baby was going to come on his birthday. There's a part of me that's hoping he's right. Here's a picture of this cutie pie:

Have you / will you found out the sex? BOY!
Any names picked out? Donald Paul
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? We ordered the carpet this past Friday. Well, actually, I guess you could say we made the appointment to have the guy come and measure. Once he does, then we can order. BUT...DH just talked with his boss and she suggested we check out another place with a great selection and way cheaper. So we're doing that tonight. I also bought the crib bedding since it went on Clearance and I was worried it wouldn't be available for someone to get for our shower.

DS delivered naturally at 41w6d on 4/18/14
@wiggyslilsis - My honest opinion is that tomorrow I'll go in and schedule the induction and as soon as the ink is dry on the paper, my water will break haha. This little guy seems to do things on his own terms.
LOs Age(s): 14 weeks
Best part of your week? Hanging out with my baby girl.
Worst part of your week? My dog waking me up at 2am last night needing to go pee. I was pissed because I had JUST fallen asleep like an hour before and the reason she needed to go is because she was too stupid to go before bed. She's really acting more block-headed than normal lately...
Milestones? A is actually grabbing toys and bringing them to her mouth to chew on, and she had her first big laugh!

Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Not lately. I was going to buy the crib mattress with a gift card I had, but Target wouldn't let me ship it to the store and I didn't want to pay over $20 in shipping! And they don't sell it in stores grrr.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? My next monthly appt won't be until Feb 4.
Have you / will you found out the sex? A boy!

How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? I am so indecisive on this. I think I will be better once we have our house (which should be mid-Feb!)
