How old is LO? 14 months
Best part of week: we had a great week. Especially the weekend was so fun with Ben. He's a little trooper.
Worst part of week: H got into a accident on Thursday. He's fine. The car needs about $6000 worth of work, but he's not at fault, so that's good.
Milestones: he took his first steps on Wednesday. By Thursday, he was a walking machine! I'm so incredibly proud of him!
Here he is showing off his walking skills and eating an entire container of yogurt all on his own.
B Born 6.27.13
Best part of your week? 3-Day Weekend! And Donnie was so much fun all weekend! It was great!
Worst part of your week? He had a bit of a freak out Monday around 5am. He wouldn't calm down enough to nurse so we gave him a bottle of BM to get him to chill. Then he passed out for another couple hours.
Milestones? He had cereal for the first time this weekend! He also rode around in his umbrella stroller for the first time.
Lots of pictures from our weekend!
ETA: Nevermind. Stupid Nest won't upload my pics.

When is your EDD? Sept 16
How are you feeling? Feeling pretty decent today. I'm having a sharp pain on my leg and I'm just my tired. But I'm excited since Friday is my last working day!
What are you craving? I've been craving burgers, but finally got one on Friday. I'm still craving ice chips.
What is grossing you out? Nothing right now.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? My grandmother gave me money to buy the girls their Christmas presents, so I took advantage of the sales at Carter's and bought E some outfits for the winter.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Weekly on Thursday. I will finally get checked even though I know it doesn't mean anything.
Have you / will you found out the sex? It's a girl!
Any names picked out? Eliana Grace
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Nursery is done.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? This is my first pregnancy where I won't know when I'm having a baby. I was induced 12 days early with Lexi, so the fact that miss E is growing wonderfully, and I don't have any other issues, I actually get to experience (well hopefully experience) going into labor naturally. Of course DH is now freaking out anytime I say my back hurts, or I'm having a contraction. I know he means well, but I really hope this doesn't drive me up a wall.
Already Mommies:
LOs Age(s): 4 years old
Best part of your week? We went to an amusement park on Sunday and she did so well. She barely asked DH to put her on his shoulders (we didn't use a stroller).
Worst part of your week? Nothing bad actually.
Milestones?
PIP those kiddos! Her on the swings at the park.

29 today!
When is your EDD?
11/4, I guess.
How are you feeling?
Just starting to feel slower. We went to the fair this weekend, and it took me a while to recover.
What are you craving?
Nothing. Lucky for H I haven't had any yet!
What is grossing you out?
Also nothing.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately?
Nope, but we are hoping to pick up a few things this week/weekend.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments?
3 hr glucose tomorrow, OB on Thursday.
Have you / will you found out the sex?
Team purple
Any names picked out?
Why would we do that?
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes?

How many weeks are you? 26w
When is your EDD? Dec 9
How are you feeling? Good minus the 5 million braxton hicks I have a day. Ugh.
What are you craving? Dill pickles. I ate some floating around the pool on Saturday and it was glorious.
What is grossing you out? Nothing.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Not this week. Unless a new couch counts?? We bought a gigantic sectional so that everyone (the kids, the dog, us, our family, the neighbors, the mailman, etc) can comfortably fit/lounge. After two weeks of shopping we decided on the Karlstad by Ikea so that if it gets destroyed by two little boys, I won't be too upset. I'm actually really excited to see it be delivered tonight!
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? I booked a 3D ultrasound for Thursday. I'm excited to see if he looks anything like his brother! Oh, and to make sure he is in fact, a he.
Have you / will you found out the sex? Boy
Any names picked out? No, but we joked that Braxton may be an appropriate name.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? I emptied a few boxes out of there this weekend, but it is low on our list of to-dos, so it will probably not happen until my due date.
Already Mommies:
LOs Age(s): 2.5 years
Best part of your week? Long weekend in the pool.
Worst part of your week? More than one epic toddler (and subsequent mommy) meltdown.
Milestones? Potty training is going well. He even did his first public washroom pee on Friday which is scary with the auto-flush toilets. I think it is actually easier potty training while I am pregnant because I need to try everytime we pass a washroom and so he does too.
PIP those kiddos!

For Mommies-to-be:
How many weeks are you? 11w3d
When is your EDD? 3.21.15
How are you feeling? Today pretty good. Yesterday after our house warming on Sunday, I felt hungover. Exhausted and semi-cranky.
What are you craving? Sugar mostly. And cheese. Particularly american cheese slices.
What is grossing you out? Meats generally.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? I bought myself two pairs of maternity pants yesterday at Old Navy with their 40% off sale. I even got a pair of *gasp* skinny jeans that actually made it past my calves.
Carters 50% off sale dragged DH in. He was adorable trying to pick gender neutral things but we did pick up a few packs of white onesies since they should come in handy. And a onesie at Old Navy that says "Born to be Awesome"
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? NT scan is Thursday. I'm excited to see our peanut. Then regular appointment is the 22nd.
Have you / will you found out the sex? We will. My whole family is praying for sparkles and glitter. My grandmother has 6 great grandsons and has told me that she ´is due for a girl, don't you think?`. Well grandma, I can't really increase your odds from 50%. Sorry!
Any names picked out? We won't start the real talk until our A/S in October sometime.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Its officially empty of boxes! I emptied every last one and decorated the whole house on Saturday. I'm excited to be able to come home and relax now since the house is 'done' for now.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? Negative. Just excited for fall weather (read fall clothes) and to announce to work at our picnic on Sunday so I can wear some maternity clothes and be more comfortable at work. I only have a few items that really hide the blump anymore.
When is your EDD? 10/12
How are you feeling? Still great!
What are you craving? Nothing
What is grossing you out? Nothing
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? My BFF sent a homemade owl, blanket, and booties in the mail. They are SO cute! Still also fun to see what's been purchased off of our registries even if we haven't gotten them yet.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Had my regular 2 week appt today. Next one is Sep 17 and then I start going weekly!
Have you / will you found out the sex? Boy!
Any names picked out? Rhett Harrison
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Decently. Starting to finally feel like our house is in order or close to it. We still don't have the majority of our nursery furniture but we have one shower this Sunday and the other next week Saturday. Anything we don't have at that point, we'll be buying ASAP to get it set up and ready to go.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? DH realized this weekend that he'll be basically the EXACT same age as his dad when his first is born. FIL was 31 years, 1 month, and 5 days old. If baby is born on his due date, DH will be 31 years, 1 month, and 7 days.
my read shelf:
Best part: loving playtime! I want all the smiles!
Worst part of the week: being back to work, she got her 2 month shots
Milestones: she is starting to grab at things. She also rolled from back to side a few times. I think she discovered her hands because I have caught her staring at them and going cross eyed trying to look at them.
