Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics?
Have a doctor's appointment today and then touring the hospital tonight. Nothing much going on. DH and I talked about the baby coming on his birthday prediction. That's 52 days away! Only 56 until my EDD.
Some days I'm so over being pregnant, and then other days I'm so not ready for this baby to come. My final shower is this weekend with my side of the family and friends. I think I'll feel more prepared once the showers are over and I can go buy the rest of the necessities. The reality that we are going to have a baby in less than 2 months is just starting to sink in. I'm getting really anxious!
How many weeks: 10w1d
How are you feeling? Much better this week! Last week I felt so drained and almost weak. Starting Sunday, I had a lot more energy and I've been feeling pretty good so far. I did fall asleep by 9 last night and I'm hoping I can do that again tonight.
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? Got the results back from the first round of genetic testing and all came back clear! I also scheduled another test that looks for down syndrome on the 24th. They'll do an ultrasound so I'm excited to see our little peanut! Oh, and I'm going to be ordering a doppler today! Hoping I can find it on Amazon so I can get it using my prime account.
Cycle/Month: this is starting to bum me out so I'm just switching to the blanket "a lot". 1 AL
CD/DPO: 20/nada
W2O or 2WW? Freaking W2O
Testing plans: blowing through my OPKs.
Chart stalks/rants/Thoughts: I'm on cd 20 with no O in sight and it's pissing me off. I'm supposed to have 7 dpo BW and my dr still wants me to go in tomorrow, so now I have to push for another slip when I finally actually O. I just wish something could go smoothly!
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? Will be 4 months on Monday.
How do you feel? I sound like a broken record but tired.
Any Milestones this week? We've entered the dreaded 4 month sleep regression. He's also found his toes and he's really grabbing for toys now. I think he will be rolling back to tummy soon.

How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 5 months on Thursday
How do you feel? Holy hell I'm tired!
Any Milestones this week? He finally found his feet and is rolling belly to back now.
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? I think the 4 month sleep regression might kill me. I miss my good sleeper! It has to end eventually, right??? I think we are on week 3 or 4. But he is obviously acquiring new skills, so it's doing something good.
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 3 weeks! It's going too fast!
How do you feel? Tired but happy. I survived 36 straight hours on my own. I have to do it again starting tonight. Tonight I will shower and actually get dressed for our anniversary dinner.
Any Milestones this week? Not really, she still sleeps, poops and eats. She's finding her voice so lots of random grunts and coos.

MIL ran me completely ragged this weekend. I thought she was coming up to see the baby, not shop and visit tourist stuff!
8 hours at the outlets Friday where her new H spend so much money buying E clothes, blankets, etc. If I looked at anything he bought it. It was kinda awkward because H wasn't there. Then Saturday we went to Amish shops. She told me to tell them when I was getting tired. So I did... And she still found other places to stop. Bfing in a car is awkward, but we managed. Then later MIL kept saying I over did it. Um, yea I know. 2 days later I'm still recovering. She also lectured me about carrying baby and car seat. I didn't see her offering to help!
Cycle/Month: 2/2
CD/DPO: CD29
W2O or 2WW? 2WW

How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 15 months on Wed
How do you feel? good
Any Milestones this week? she talks a lot, she is walking more
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? if we are friends on FB i posted pics from FIL's wedding Sat night and apple picking sunday
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 2 months tomorrow. Time is moving too fast!
How do you feel? I feel good.
Any Milestones this week? She's cooing almost all the times, in addition to constant smiles and small laughs. I love her voice. She's grabbing at things. When you take her shirt off, she holds onto it. The other day she fell asleep with a wad of my hair in her hand. H's sister had to untangle it strand by strand so I could put O down.
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? My mom thinks that I hold O too much. When she goes to other people she cries. I try to explain that it's just us all day long and that's why, but my mom is persistent about it. It's getting old. I can't help that I'm the only person with O.
I'm torn about work. I still want to be home with O and I want to have another month with her. I'm calling my doctor next week to ask him to excuse me for 4 more weeks. I've been in touch with my sub and she sent me pictures of some students' work. It was so cute. Another coworker had a picture of me and O and showed it to my class. Word got out that she had this picture and she was stalked for the rest of the day by kids asking to see the picture and telling her how much they miss me. I do want to go back to them and I feel it's the right thing to do, but I feel like being home is the only place for me right now. I don't know what to do.
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 12 weeks yesterday!!!
How do you feel? tired! Last week T started waking I the middle of the night again.
Any Milestones this week? Lots of laughing and smiling!
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics?yesterday as I was dropping T off at daycare I noticed his head and torso were covered in a rash that wasn't there 5 mins earlier when we left the house. We raced him over to the Drs and they were unable to tell us what caused it. Luckily it was not affecting his breathing. The initial rash was gone within 2hours. It came back a few hours later but on his cheeks and arms/legs, exact opposite of where the first rash was! It could be viral or could be an allergy to milk protein as we supplemented a little with formula over the weekend (he's not really gaining any weight). Poor baby is on prednisone now which is miserable for a baby. We go Monday to allergist (my best friend) to have him tested for milk allergy. Both her and the allergy physician believe it sounds viral.i just feel so bad for the little guy!
Pregnant Girls:
How many weeks: 28
How are you feeling? I'm starting to get achy and tired easily. And I'm super thirsty all the time. I have been downing water like there is no tomorrow but give it 10 mins and I feel dry again.

I told H we need to get the nursery finally emptied this weekend since I'm at the end of the 2nd trimester and I'm really starting to lose the energy I once had. We did a lot of work on the room last month but we never got back to finishing up. The shower isn't until the end of November otherwise I would start getting the room ready. I thought it would have been earlier but that's when the host was able to schedule everything but now I think it's pushing too close to my due date (12/31) and it's in the middle of the holiday mess which means if we need anything for the nursery before baby gets here we have to deal with holiday shoppers rush and the possibility of what we need being out of stock.
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 1 week today
How do you feel? Good. Kinda tired at times, but I love spending time with her, so it's worth it.
Any Milestones this week? She has been holding her head up pretty well since she was less than a day old. And she smiles all the time! Oh, and she kicks herself up with her feet when we do tummy time and bonks mommy in the chin with her head.
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? I've never been so happy to be sleep deprived. But looking at this adorable face each time I'm woken up makes up for the lack of sleeping
@DanaOcNy - have you heard of leap weeks? My bmb was talking about them. 12 weeks is one and it can cause some regression in sleep and baby to be clingy and needy.
