When is your EDD? May 4th
How are you feeling? Great!
What are you craving? Nothing at the moment. I'm really hoping I can get back to my healthier eating habits.
What is grossing you out? chicken that's tender. It has to either be fried or cooked really well to make it firmer. If it's too tender, it tastes raw to me.

Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Next monthly appointment is the 12th.
Have you / will you found out the sex? Yes

How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Just pinning away still.

LOs Age(s): 24 weeks
Best part of your week? He was so happy and talkative all weekend. We also introduced rice cereal per the pedi's recommendation and he has been eating it all. He hated it at first, but once we thinned out the texture a bit, he likes it.
Worst part of your week? He has been sleeping horribly and waking up 3-4 times a night now. I don't know what's going on!
Milestones? Introduced the rice cereal.
PIP those kiddos! Here he is hanging out with the dogs this weekend.

How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Ha!
Already Mommies:
LOs Age(s): 14.5 months
Best part of your week? Having to take part of the day off on Friday and hanging out with A since our sitter was sick.
Worst part of your week? This morning when A was just sobbing because DH had to go to work; I think that her molar on the left side is coming in now and bothering her.
Milestones? She's getting to be SO good at walking, it's so cool to see. She's also picked up a couple of new words in the last week or two.
Team Green to Team Pink! Baby A born
Here comes 2u2! Team Green to Team Blue! Baby L born
B Born 6.27.13
How many weeks are you? 6 weeks 1 day
When is your EDD? 6/22
How are you feeling? A little quesy, but fine overall. Right now, I'm loving this because I know something is growing inside me!
What are you craving? Nothing yet
What is grossing you out? DH cooked bacon the other night which sounded gross to me.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? We bought 2 toys for our announcement to our parents (we couldn't keep it a secret since they knew about IVF)
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? First ultrasound 11/6. I'm so ready for it to be here
Have you / will you found out the sex? Probably
Any names picked out? Yes...we were totally CBH on this
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Nothing planned yet
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? Just still so excited to be over here. I'm trying to enjoy every minute of it!
Cinnabun and Junebug say, "Go Wildcats!"
When is your EDD? 2/17/15
How are you feeling? Pretty good. This weekend I had a lot of energy, which was really nice.
What are you craving? Cheese. We bought some olive cheese from a cheese factory Saturday. Um, yum!
What is grossing you out? Still certain meats with weird textures. I can tolerate some beef again, but am fine with no meat at all.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Picking up a crib tonight!
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Centering pregnancy appointment tomorrow afternoon, then ultrasound next week to check on cervix and placenta.
Have you / will you found out the sex? Nope. Still a surprise. :-)
Any names picked out? Not at all. We've always loved Lilly Ann for a girl and it's been #1 on our list since we started TTC. H has told me that he's fine with taking it off the list as an option, because he isn't that sold on it now that it could become a reality.
He's saying that we should just not have any names picked out and we'll name it at the hospital after it comes out. He's definitely far from Type A and I'm 100% type A. So this is getting interesting.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Got the closet completely finished and I love the way it looks. Picking up the crib tonight that I cheaped out on and bought 2nd hand. We will have spent a total of $50 between the crib, changing table, and glider. It won't all match, but it's more $$ we can put toward other necessities and/or debt.

How are you feeling? Mostly fine still. Nausea here and there, lots of food aversions, a few headaches, but not really "sick."
What are you craving? I've had a very cliche affair with pickles lately.
What is grossing you out? Lots of things. I still can't handle greens/vegetables. I'm starting to feel bad about that...
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? No
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? First midwife appointment next Friday! Not sure if there's an ultrasound involved, but I'm guessing they'll schedule it for a couple weeks later?
Have you / will you found out the sex? Stalemate.
Any names picked out? One girl name, no boy names.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? This will probably never happen, honestly. We're planning to move a couple months after my EDD, so we probably won't bother setting much of anything up.

How many weeks are you? 7 weeks
When is your EDD? June 15, 2015
How are you feeling? Super tired and nauseous. Everyday that I feel crappy, I just keep telling myself that it means my little one is getting stronger. Honestly, I've never been so happy to feel pukey, lol!
What are you craving? Carb-heavy comfort food like mashed potatoes and gravy or mac and cheese.
What is grossing you out? Strong smells. I pulled a tray of cookies out of the oven yesterday and gagged.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Nope
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? First appointment is Nov. 14th!
Have you / will you found out the sex? Yes, we will.
Any names picked out? We had a few to start out with but now we are pretty much starting over. The only thing we have picked out for sure is the middle name if we have a boy because the name is a family tradition for DH's family. My mom and dad keep texting me possible names but I have told them that we aren't seriously considering names until after the first u/s. The whole name picking thing is making me anxious.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? I've been pinning nursery ideas to my secret baby board on Pinterest in the last week or so but we won't actually start the nursery until after we move next year.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP?

How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Got some more stuff organized, just waiting on the dresser and then putting up decor.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP?
Already Mommies:
LOs Age(s): 1 year (13 months next week)
Best part of your week? Hugs and seeing her personality really grow.
Worst part of your week? Stupid molars....my poor girl barely slept last night due to reflux caused by teething.
Milestones? She now says quiet, but it's more like "ki it" and I think she's trying to say good dog, but it sounds more like "gooda". Lol
PIP those kiddos!
When is your EDD? Thanksgiving.
How are you feeling? Icky today. Woke up to a bloody nose and my ribs are tender which I'm guessing is from little boys feet!
What are you craving? Reeses
What is grossing you out? Nothing
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? We used our completion coupon for BRU yesterday. Bought the swing, another car seat base for H's car, a monitor and a highchair.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? OB tomorrow. She is going to start checking me which makes me nervous since she warned it will be rather uncomfortable.
Have you / will you found out the sex? Boy
Any names picked out? Yes
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? I have finally made myself stop! Pic below. I'm obsessed with the dresser.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP?
How many weeks are you? 19w2d
When is your EDD? March 21
How are you feeling? On and off crappiness. Still nauseous and gagging every day. But I will take it. And holy exhaustion by the end of the day/work week.
What are you craving? Nothing. I wish it was something because I'm still force feeding at meals and snacks.
What is grossing you out? Meats in general unless it's a chicken nugget. Healthy I know.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Does a gender reveal cake count?!
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? A/S was today and everything looked good but baby is a belly sleeper so we didn't get all of the heart pictures necessary. We get to go back. Yay!
Have you / will you found out the sex? We will on Saturday. The bakery has one envelope with the results and we have one that is stapled shut inside of another sealed envelope. No peeking in this house!
Any names picked out? We nailed down our girl name and haven't started our boy discussion yet. Which is either a telling sign, or a sign that we have a lot of work to do. Ha.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Still empty. But the door and light switch have been fixed so it can get painted shortly after Saturday.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? Counting down to Saturday will probably happen down to the hour. I'm typically good wth surprises but this is the biggest secret anyone has ever kept from me. And the fact that it's in an envelope in my kitchen is not helpful!
Best part of your week? when she is in a good mood she is fun. She's also been hitting a lot of milestones.
Worst part of your week? She was grouchy yesterday and a little bit today.
Milestones? She is razzing now, trying to stand in our laps a lot and she can pass a toy from one hand to another. She also has been sleeping 10-12 hours straight at night thanks to sucking her thumb.

Best part of your week? Eye doctor on Sat and wagon ride at the pumpkin patch Sunday. My kid cracks me up so good sometimes.
