Re: ~~Mommy & M2B Monday~~
How many weeks are you? 30 tomorrow!
When is your EDD? April 22 but delivering closer to the 8th as they don't want me on insulin too long!
How are you feeling? Good other than indigestion!
What are you craving? Sushi! Havif some in an hour!
What is grossing you out? Nothig
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Hair bows. Oh gosh the hair bows!
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments?
Waiting for one now!
Have you / will you found out the sex? Girl!
Any names picked out? Amelia (nn Molly) mentioned last Monday that we have gotten ehat for this because the nn isn't connected to the full name. But I figure of jack can be a nn for John then Molly can't be that much of a stretch!
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? It is painted! Woo! Crib is up. But a tornado looks like it went through. I have much to do!
BFP 2: 7/7/2014 Beta 7/8: 115, Beta 7/12: 638, Beta 7/16: 3793, Beta 7/21: 21,625
When is your EDD? 10/14
How are you feeling? Surprisingly good! Boobs are sore and that's really it. I was cramping last week but that mostly stopped over the weekend.
What are you craving? Nothing in particular
What is grossing you out? Nothing here either
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Not yet
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? 1st appts aren't until March. I have my first one with the nurse on March 7 and my first one with the OB on March 18. I know in my head it'll come quickly enough but it feels soooo far away.
Have you / will you found out the sex? We will when the time comes!
Any names picked out? We have a few we like but nothing definite. We do know that if we have a boy, his initials will be AAA after DH and FIL.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? We have finally settled the debate of who has to give up "their space" to make room for the nursery. We have a 3 bedroom house and DH was using one of the rooms as an office and I was using the guest bedroom to house my shoes. We've decided to finish part of the basement that is still unfinished and move DH's office stuff down there and turn the current office into the nursery. No themes or anything yet.
my read shelf:
How many weeks are you? 7 weeks 5 days
When is your EDD? September 24
How are you feeling? Overall, I'm feeling pretty good. I am exhausted by the end of the day, and nausea only hits if I either wait too long to eat, or eat too much.
What are you craving? Still anything I see that looks/smells good, but I have been craving Milky Ways and red delicious apples.
What is grossing you out? Onion Rings.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Nothing for the baby, but I did buy myself a pair of maternity jeans that was on clearance and two dressy-like tops.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Next OB appt is March 10.
Have you / will you found out the sex? We will.
Any names picked out? Tristan Ryse for a boy, Eliana (MN either Marie or Grace). Spellings may change so I'm not too worried about it yet.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? No nursery until we move.
LOs Age(s): 4 years
Best part of your week? Getting Lexi transitioned to her big girl bed.
Worst part of your week? He patience is exactly like her fathers - she has none. She has been whiny because we have been scaling back on when she can get certain things during certain situations. She has been learning very quickly that she can't always get what she wants and hasn't been as complaining as much. It's been such a step in the right direction.
Milestones? She's learning big words and has been speaking with complex sentences.
When is your EDD? Aug. 3
How are you feeling? Pretty good. I had a mega dose of energy yesterday and cleaned the entire house! I am a little nauseous today and not sure why.
What are you craving? Still cereal- any kind, hot or cold. It was taylor ham (aka pork roll) egg and cheese, but I had it for breakfast yesterday so I'm happy now. I REALLY want the cookie dough Oreos though.
What is grossing you out? Cheese doodles.. the smell!! YUCK!
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? No.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? 16 week appointment on 2/17!!
Have you / will you found out the sex? Nope.. team green all the way!
Any names picked out? Yes, our girl's name is Annabelle. Boy's is possibly Anderson buy we're still discussing. Plus, we have 6 months to change our minds!
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? I got DH to agree on moving out the last two boxes of stuff from what will be the nursery next weekend. It's a step in the right direction!
@KatieKim0815 I love the name Amelia and this Molly is such a cute nickname!! Don't listen to the haters
.
@LittleLady77 I hope you feel better soon. Try to rest and relax (easier said than done, I know).
How many weeks are you? 32w2d
When is your EDD? April 5th
How are you feeling? Great! A bit tired today, but that's becoming my norm.

Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Nothing until next week.
Have you / will you found out the sex? BOY!
Any names picked out? Donald Paul
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? I have all of the bedding washed and the dust ruffle, mattress pad and fitted sheet are on! It looks super cute! Our "theme", if you can call it that, is Bright Colors. I bought some fabric the other day to make a runner for the dresser so it can brighten up the dark cherry furniture. I'll also use it for tie backs for the curtains. Other than that, the nursery is filled with just everything we received at our shower. DH needs to set up the closet so I can start organizing better and fully getting things set up.

Already Mommies:
LOs Age(s): 1 yr 8mo 2weeks 5days
Best part of your week? She was very giggly on Saturday and so much fun
Worst part of your week? Nothing too bad to complain about
Milestones? ashes getting much better at using her spoon/fork
PIP those kiddos! Someone decided she wanted to nap in my arm yesterday. So sweet.
LO's Age: Almost 2!
Best part of week: She fell asleep on me very easily last night so we cuddled for 15 minutes before I put her in her bed!
Worst part of week: It really isn't that bad butshe seemed to be sleep training me. She wouldn't fall asleep solidly until i would put her down for bed or her nap...until last night of course. She is also boycotting naps. She still takes a nap most days but maybe a couple days a week...no such luck.
Milestones-She can walk/run backwards and march. She is trying very hard to jump and is getting more accurate with her throwing. She is also getting really into imaginary play especially cooking
And I couldn't choose so you guys get a pic of her and DH playing with her new train set at my mom's house and a picture of her playing in the snow!

How many weeks are you? 18w 4d
When is your EDD? July 10
How are you feeling? Other than the fact that my back is really bothering me I feel pretty good.
What are you craving? I was craving milkshakes like crazy. I had a strawberry one on Saturday, which was pretty good, but the chocolate peanut butter one I had last night was so disappointing. I think that ruined the craving for me. I pretty much want all the food right now.
What is grossing you out? hard boiled eggs
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? nope.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? regular appointment 2/15, a/s 2/20!
Have you / will you found out the sex? hopefully on 2/20!
Any names picked out? Nothing's changed.... still Delilah mn Rose or Maeve and Liam or Leland... stuck on a mn.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? DH is slowly relocating his office downstairs to our sunroom, so we have a place to put the crib and furniture, but it might not be an actual nursery til we move. I don't want to waste time decorating a room if we're only going to be there for 6 more months and then have to repaint before we move out (we're renting right now). When we do have an actual nursery it will be white and grey chevrons with either turquoise or lavender as an accent.
LOs Age(s): 6 weeks
Best part of your week? We went out to dinner for the first time since she was born and it went really well! It was really nice
Worst part of your week? She's been really fussy the past few days. Maybe we're hitting a growth spurt?
Milestones? She slept for 7 hours straight!!!
PIP those kiddos!

What is grossing you out? Just random things at random times. Sometimes meat. Always spicy/ethnic/Asian food!

They didn't believe me that they all smelled like it when they came back from lunch...

Already Mommies:
LOs Age(s): 4 months
Best part of your week? Relaxing weekend with DH and A.
Worst part of your week? We had to take A to the ER, since the urgent care wouldn't treat her, because I noticed some blood/discharge when I wiped her. Poor thing had an infection.
Milestones? I did unofficial measurements of A and she is just over 15lbs and 25.5" tall. That's 7" taller than she was at birth!
PIP those kiddos!
Best part of week: playing at home yesterday.
Worst part of week: B needs a helmet due to plagiocephaly from torticollis. We've known this for two months but our insurance made us go through two months of therapy. Well, they now want another month of therapy. Since we were going to have to pay $3000 with insurance and we can pay $2000 without it, were just going around insurance to pay. I wish we would have done this two months ago.
Milestones: Separation anxiety. Not fun to deal with but a milestone nonetheless.
