Re: Tuesday Mommy and Mommy 2 b!
Best part of week: I met a local new mom last week at a mommy and me class and we had a lunch date yesterday after class which was great!
Worst part of week: LO is not being very kind with her sleeping schedule at all! I was up 4 times Saturday night (12-2-5-7) and finally by 7 I had to ask DH to get up early on Fathers Day to relieve me bc I got 4 hours of sleep in total!
Milestones: My mind is blown today! LO learned last week how to roll from tummy to back but just this morning she started rolling back to tummy! She was just rolling on the floor with my dog all the way off her blanket! That's like a 5-6 month milestone! She is only 3 1/2 months!

How many weeks are you? 16+1
When is your EDD? December 7th
How are you feeling? pretty good, though I'm starting to notice more things I just can't do the same. Zumba was rough last night, my runs are shorter/slower/more infrequent. I'm not really showing a whole lot yet, I think sometimes H just forgets that I just can't go, go, go, and sometimes I need an extra snack, or to sit down and drink a glass of water.
What are you craving? nothing particular
What is grossing you out? still meat, chicken seems to be the only thing that goes well. I may try pork chops or some other light meat later this week. even salmon sounds unappealing
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? so I'm an admitted Vera Bradley addict...there's a zulily sale on retired patterns today. even though we don't yet know if we're having a boy or girl I grabbed some adorable onesies, socks, and a snuggle blanket. if it's a boy they'll go away to be gifted to someone else.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? centering on Thursday
Have you / will you found out the sex? we will find out the sex
Any names picked out? middle names are set.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? our loan application is in with the bank, and the appraiser has been to the house. I'm hoping for a closing date in July so we can start the whole home project.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? We picked up our new dog on saturday. We're settling in. He's 17 months old, and a sweetie, definitely still has some puppy in him, but already he's calmed down a little.
When is your EDD? July 22!
How are you feeling? Large. It is a struggle to get around and sleep, but I'm making do. Can't complain about it to much.
What are you craving? anything unhealthy
What is grossing you out? nothing
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? My husband and I are both Texas A&M former students, and I don't think we got any Aggie gear. So I may have gone to town on Etsy yesterday stocking up!
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? This afternoon is GBS swab and check. Weekly from here on out. Eek!
Have you / will you found out the sex? Team Pink!
Any names picked out? Olivia Catherine
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Looking good, furniture is in, curtains made. I have a few pillows to make and wall decor to buy/hang. Hopefully I'll post pictures soon!
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? My last week of work before leave! They gave us up to four weeks of before due date that can't be transferred to after. I decided to take it. I'm excited to be able to rest a bit more, and be able to get all the little things done around the house that I'm to tired to do when I get home from work.

Best part of your week? Longer sleep stretches have been awesome!
Worst part of your week? We went to a quinceanera on Saturday night and she was crying non stop for about 30 minutes. She never does that. I felt horrible because I couldn't do figure out how to calm her down. I still don't know why she was so upset.
Milestones? She's getting stronger with her legs and head. She rolled from her back to her side the other day, so now having to watch out for a rolling baby.
PIP those kiddos!
Best part of your week? How do I even choose? Meeting our little lady, making DH a dad and our parents grandparents, bringing her home from the hospital, DH's first Father's Day, falling head over heels in love with my daughter, and falling in love with DH in a whole new way. Take your pick.
Worst part of your week? Lots of pp emotions around here. Things are looking up, but I've spent a lot of time processing the birth and some interventions I hadn't planned on, and I've had some "what the f*** were we thinking?" moments.
Milestones? Birth! Also, we're slowly getting better at BFing. We've been able to latch on the first try a few times.
PIP those kiddos! She struck a pretty adorable pose in her sleep the other day

Best part of your week? Seeing his personality come out more and more. Also the ILs leaving. Also finally finishing his nursery. I'll post pics later.
Worst part of your week? A few nights he was extremely fussy and wouldn't sleep. It was even more exhausting than the typical nights. He also has some constipation which was pretty terrible which then turned into the opposite which was equally terrible. We are finally evening out.
Milestones? He went to his first doctors appt and is now 7lbs 5oz! He also rolled from his front to his back this morning!
PIP those kiddos!
