How many weeks are you? 31 weeks

When is your EDD? 3/31/14

How are you feeling? Not bad.  I have this one spot in my back that will NOT let up, and I am waking up from heartburn  - like I've thrown up in my mouth.  Ugh.

What are you craving? Fig newtons....

What is grossing you out? Nothing really.  Still intense smells, and cooked green veggies.

Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Yes!  We've received some early shower gifts - bath toys and whatnot - and two HUGE bags of GORGEOUS hand-me-downs.  Some still with tags.  And we painted her room and bought new curtain rods.

Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? 31 week appt tonight!

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

Any names picked out? Not telling :-D

How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? It's getting there!   PIPs coming in a week or two, once furniture arrives!

Anything else you would like to add or PIP?

@ashleymatt1215 - my mom is spending the night tonight. She's going to take a night shift tonight with him, which might reboot both of us.

And I already had a caffeine headache last night so cutting back on coffee will be hard. I love the employees at Dutch bros. I like to visit!

The RE recommended NOT cutting out caffeine entirely cold turkey for that reason, but rather cutting back if I was already a coffee drinker. I'd definitely suggest the same. I cut my regular morning 16 oz from full caff to half caff a few months ago in trying to be better with how much I was drinking, so then quitting the coffee and switching to a chai tea (black tea has the highest caffeine content at 40-60 mg per cup) I didn't have to worry about headaches or anything.

@LuckyAngel07 no sushi? that's it, I'm out! 

I know!! I freaking looooooove sushi. I really don't know what I'm going to do. In all likelihood, I'll probably sneak a single piece of whatever DH orders if we totally cave and MUST go to our favorite sushi place. I think a single piece of tuna roll along with a couple of veggie rolls for myself should be just fine!

We've gotten sushi a couple of times, because it was the only thing that sounded edible! I only get veggie rolls, so I don't really feel bad

Jumping in...
I've always heard that if you get sushi from a tried and true sushi place where you have never been sick from then you will be ok.
I won't be cutting it out when (if) I ever get pg.
**back to lurking..

@pennstated912 My mom and dad came for a visit when Elle was about 3 weeks old. My mom took the night shift a few times while they were here. It was amazing. Hope you get some sleep! I had some anxiety about leaving her with someone else so I took some Benadryl to help me fall and stay asleep. I did wake up one morning at 4:00 am and was tempted to go check on her, but I knew my mom had six kids and was more than capable of keeping her alive for one night. LOL.

@luckyangel07 and @nightmare_of_beauty

Like @blueeyedblossonm said, sushi is fine if its from a place you've been to before that has never made you sick, and you're not going every day. I would limit to once a month, or once every other week if you had a lot of sushi before pregnancy, just to be on the safe side.

I'm a little late to the party but work was nuts today.  Anyways...

How many weeks are you? 13werks 1 day

When is your EDD? Aug 3

How are you feeling? Great! My energy us back and I'm making the most of it!

What are you craving? Cereal it just always sounds good. And pasta, but I always love pasta, so I don't know if that counts...

Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? No.

Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? I had my 12 weeker today. It was supposed to be last week, but it got cancelled from the snow.  Everything looks good and I even got a surprise u/s with some pics

Have you / will you found out the sex? nope! Team green! I had some blood drawn today and they asked. I think DH wants to know but he isn't pushing it.

Any names picked out? We have lists, nothing is set in stone.

How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Still our guest room for now. Probably won't start for a few more months

Anything else you would like to add or PIP? DH booked our mini babymoon for my birthday present, I'm so excited! 

PIP-ing our little nugget from my appt today.  The little bugger didn't want to stop moving!

LOs Age(s): 4 weeks

 Best part of your week? Constant baby cuddles

 Worst part of your week? Rosie is dealing with some bad reflux.  I've cut out all dairy, but so far it hasn't helped.  I feel awful that I can't make her feel better

 Milestones?  We hit the 3 week growth spurt and survived.  She was 9lbs 9oz on Saturday 

 PIP those kiddos!

I had to start taking a magnesium supplement for leg pain, RLS. Talk to your doc about it. It was a life saver for me. Also adding a calcium supplements like tums can help too.

I only ever eat rage veggie rolls, so I do still have those when it sounds good.
