DS delivered naturally at 41w6d on 4/18/14
LOs Age(s): 7 months tomorrow!
Best part of your week? He was so happy all weekend! He still isn't interested in sitting, but is doing his own version of trying to crawl.
Worst part of your week? This week was really pretty good!
Milestones? He is trying to do a type of crawl lately.
PIP those kiddos!
~TTC Buddies with akcrrr and amandaf6383~
Natural Cycle (8/7/13)- BFP! Beta #1 (9/10/13): 509 Progesterone: 18.64 Beta #2 (9/12/13): 1118
When is your EDD? June 9
How are you feeling? Pretty good. Super-minor nausea a couple times this past week, and dizzy fairly often.
What are you craving? Cheese
What is grossing you out? I'm still afraid to try salad/leafy greens since I had such an aversion for a while. Maybe it's time, though.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Nope
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? We had our NT scan on Wednesday (1.5!) and regular midwife appointment on Friday (HB 156!). We are talking about probably doing group prenatal care (modeled off of CenteringPregnancy, but not affiliated) starting with our next appointment.
Have you / will you found out the sex? Right when I was thinking I'd have to give in and let DH find out, he came home last night and said he could probably be swayed. So still undecided, but I guess we're both more willing to discuss/understand each other's positions now. That's progress, right?
Any names picked out? Nothing new
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Nothing to report there
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? Crappy quality picture from the NT scan attached
"You know you're in love when you don't want to fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams." - Dr. SeussWhen is your EDD?
2/17/15
How are you feeling?
Sore, but not horrible. Braxton Hicks are picking up, and baby is getting into my ribs and somehow my far side/back. Don't know how that works, but it's playing in there quite a bit.
What are you craving?
Not much.
What is grossing you out?
Meat. Except seafood.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately?
Had baby shower #2 on Saturday, and baby got spoiled! 2 down, 1 to go.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments?
Centering Pregnancy appointment tomorrow.
Have you / will you found out the sex?
Nope
Any names picked out?
Ugh. We've pretty much squashed our entire list of names, because we were just settling on things we could "live with." So we're back to square 1. The deal now is that H has to give me his top 5 picks for each sex on Friday, and I am doing the same. Then we'll trying to come up with some options from that.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes?
Got the pictures in to hang up, but haven't gotten them put up yet. Also got most of the gifts from the showers unpacked and put in their places. Just need to get it a bit more organized.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP?
Thinking it was maybe from not drinking as much water as usual or something, I have no idea. Thank God H was with me, and he was able to catch me as I went down. But it definitely scared both of us.

"You know you're in love when you don't want to fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams." - Dr. SeussLOs Age(s): 5 months
Best part of your week? D met Santa and loved him!
Worst part of your week? DH and I are arguing about holiday cards (no, we still haven't ordered them). It's stupid and if we don't get a few good pics tonight we're not sending any.
Milestones? She's making a lot more sounds and sitting up (mostly assisted) really well.
PIP those kiddos!
How many weeks are you? 31w4d
When is your EDD? 2/5/15
How are you feeling? Meh, I'm done being pregnant. I'm miserable half the day because of how low he is. SPD, sciatica, general back pain, heartburn, peeing my pants all the time all while chasing a toddler around = one exhausted momma. Thankful for a healthy baby though, and only 8 weeks to go!
What are you craving? Lately it's been sandwiches, and then of course chocolate.
What is grossing you out? Nothing
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Nope
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Next regular OB appointment is 12/16, since I'm going biweekly now.
Have you / will you found out the sex? Boy!
Any names picked out? Thomas
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? DH painted his "T" and hung it above his crib, so now I can hang the two pictures I made next to it. I think we are grabbing the dresser from the ILs this coming weekend, so DH can get going on sanding and restaining it. Then I can hang the shelves and finish the last of my decorating and putting clothes away.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP?
Already Mommies:
LOs Age(s): 14 months
Best part of your week? We took her to the Christmas tree lighting last night, which was like a mini carnival. They also had live performances by locals in the amphitheater. A had fun dancing along.
Worst part of your week? Leap 9...but...I think we may be out of it now.
Milestones? I *think* we may have just gotten out of leap 9. I've noticed she has a lot more sounds and words. She says "what's that" and points at everything, and when I answer her she says "yeah". If we tell her to do something and she doesn't want to, she says "uh uh", shakes her head and walks away. I also noticed her trying to say ball.
