For Mommies-to-be:

How many weeks are you? 13w2d 2ND TRI TOMORROW!!!!!!!!

When is your EDD? 4/5/13

How are you feeling? Today is the first day in 6 weeks where I've felt almost normal! The only thing that sucks today is that all of the exhaustion I haven't felt since the nausea started is now hitting me. But heck, I'll take exhaustion over nausea ANY DAY OF THE WEEK!!

What are you craving? Nothing. Hmm...actually, I just thought of a turkey and cheese sandwich from Subway and it just made me salivate.

What is grossing you out? Nothing really.

Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Not for the baby, but my cousin sent us a Congratulations card with a gift card for me for maternity clothes!

Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? NT Scan tomorrow!!! Can't wait to see our Bean look like a baby!!

Have you / will you found out the sex? We will find out.

Any names picked out? Donald Paul or Elizabeth Claire

How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Still the guest room

Anything else you would like to add or PIP? DH was gone for three weeks and got home last Tuesday. Since then we've been able to tell more and more people about the Bean. It's been so much fun!

gatorwife · September 2013

@jennahack, I can't believe you're hitting 2nd tri tomorrow!

Already Mommies:

Best part of your week? Cuddling with N all weekend.

Worst part of your week? Her being constipated, and in so much pain.

Milestones? She laughed for the first time this week!

PIP those kiddos!

BackseatDriver · September 2013

Already Mommies:

Best part of your week? Lots of good things this week. Evan used to be so shy around strangers, but now he has turned into a social butterfly. Feels so good after people kind of accused me of smothering him and contributing to his stranger anxiety. We also checked out an art show and E did fantastic. We were out all day so I was hoping it wouldn't throw him off too much. He had trouble napping because he wanted to take in all the sights, but he was perfect all day! Hardly even fussed! So many people were commenting about how cute he is and what a good baby he is. Proud mama!

Worst part of your week? I was supposed to meet up with a friend that I hadn't seen in a while. I told her that I had a lot going on this week and I'd have to see how I was feeling since she lives a good distance away. I really wanted to see her, but I was feeling too tired and was worried about driving that far while sleepy. Disappointing

Milestones? E has started shaking his head almost as if to say "no". I really don't think he knows what it means, but sometimes he would have you fooled! Every time my mom asks if he wants to come to her he looks at her and shakes his head then turns back to me. He got such a big reaction the first time that he did it though that I think he is just doing it for attention now.

We also took him to pick apples and pumpkins and that was pretty fun. Got lots of cute pictures and road on a tractor/wagon Rain kind of cut things short, but it was still a good time.

For Mommies-to-be:

How many weeks are you? 7 weeks 2 days

When is your EDD? 5/17/2014

brij2006 · September 2013

How many weeks are you? I think 4 weeks, 1 day.

When is your EDD? 6/7/13

How are you feeling? Not bad. Just feels like menstraul cramps and bloating though. Which is why I was hesitant to test on Saturday, because I thought AF was giving me all her usual signs.

What are you craving? Nothing

What is grossing you out? Nothing

Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Nope

Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Just got back from my first beta. Will find out the results this afternoon.

Have you / will you found out the sex? We can't agree on this. I do not want to find out, but H does.

Any names picked out? We've always liked Lilly Ann for a girl, but now that it's become a reality we aren't sure.

How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? It's the spare bedroom. Since our house is old, we want to tear down the walls and insulate and add more outlets. So that will likely be tore into within the next couple of months.

Anything else you would like to add or PIP? Nope

What is grossing you out? Nothing.

Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Next appointment is 10/9. I will be scheduling an u/s that day to check on my low lying placenta to see if it's moved up. I sure hope so because I am SO TIRED of this pelvic rest.... and so is DH. LOL.

sgautschi · September 2013

@jennahack How are you going into 2nd tri already?! So exciting!

@gatorwife I bet she has the most adorable laugh!

@BackseatDriver I love when babies get into that social stage, especially little boys because they seem to always like flirting with the ladies.

@alexisanna44 Past the halfway mark already?! Seriously when did you all get so far along in your pregnancies? And that's adorable seeing her with her first cabbage patch doll.

@amccul20 and @brij2006 Do you think your DHs would keep the sex a secret from you? When my mom was pregnant my sister, my dad didn't want to know but my mom did. So she found out at the ultrasound and my dad got to find out at birth. I thought that was sweet that they each got what they wanted.

@pennstated912 Congrats on making it to v-week!

Also I like all three of your choices, but my favorite is Evan.

@lb1117 I love your name choices!

@nightmare_of_beauty I had a lot of cravings for bread early on in pregnancy. That and mac'n'cheese.

Also, you could do a gender reveal with your family/friends so it would still be somewhat of a surprise but you still would be able to find out before birth. I wanted to, but DH hates that kind of attention and wanted to find out with just the two of us.

@MRads B sounds like he loves his momma, that is adorable.

@Madeline10L Still so excited for you!

@skreedrake I totally hear you on the sleep issues. Last night I woke up to roll over to my other side and I couldn't because I had such a bad pain in my side. It was miserable.

I hope you get good results at your appointment so you and DH can get back to it.

@saisongbird I forgot to welcome you to 2nd tri! Also, I hope you get over your cold soon. That sounds miserable.

@Ayres12 I can't wait to hear what you're having!Do you have a feeling one way or the other? My guess is girl.

@AshleyMatt1215 Vinegar and hot sauce? Have you always liked those, or is this just a pregnancy thing? Lol

sgautschi · September 2013

How many weeks are you? 40 weeks tomorrow!! It feels weird to write that.

When is your EDD? Tomorrow!

How are you feeling? SOOO uncomfortable. I am in so much pain, I barely got any sleep because I can't move in bed without feeling stabbing pains in my sides and a breaking in half feeling in my crotch. I want this baby out now!

What are you craving? Nothing right now, my stomach is weird...

What is grossing you out? Nothing at the moment.

Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? I got a couple more receiving blankets yesterday because I didn't really have enough.

Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? I have an appointment with my doctor on Wednesday to talk induction. I'm waiting for my doctor's office to come back from lunch though so I can see if I can get in sooner to maybe try a membrane sweep. I don't think I can take another night like last night.

Have you / will you found out the sex? Girl!

Any names picked out? Adalyn Paige

How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? It's 100% done and waiting on baby.

Anything else you would like to add or PIP? Nope.

AshleyMatt1215 · September 2013

@sgautschi I love hot sauce, but I want it on everything. That's not normal. I have no idea about the vinegar, I usually only eat vinegar on French fries. It has to be pregnancy.

I just think that's hilarious that you are having a "weird" pregnancy craving. There was one point where I walked by my coworker who was eating a cucumber salad and I just had to have one of the cucumbers. I hate cucumbers....Lol Pregnancy is a crazy thing.

A few weeks ago I had to have pickles and chocolate milk at the same time.

I'm fearing what else I'll crave!

sparklingdiamond · September 2013

For Mommies-to-be:

How many weeks are you? 7w3d

When is your EDD? May 16, 2014

How are you feeling? Great. Just tired!

What are you craving? I was wanting Chinese food the other day, but nothing right now.

What is grossing you out? Rotisserie chicken kinda grosses me out sometimes...it just depends on the day

Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Yes! I had a cute onesie made and then bought one at the fair. Then a family member bought another one for me!

Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Had my first appt today! Got to see and hear the little heartbeat!

Have you / will you found out the sex? We will find out.

Any names picked out? I thought so, but we don't really agree.

How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? I haven't done anything on this. I know I will obviously use elephants (they are all over the rest of my house! Why not in the nursery too!)

Anything else you would like to add or PIP? Don't think so :-)

TudorRose11 · September 2013

How many weeks are you? - 35w5d

When is your EDD? Oct. 30th

How are you feeling? A lot like @sg described! My belly is constantly aching and my cha cha feels like it's being ripped in half.

What are you craving? A pumpkin anything

What is grossing you out? Nothing really

Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Not for the baby but for me. I bought two back rubbing things at the dollar store for labor. I also got a comfortable nursing bra and a nursing night gown.

Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Tomorrow morning. First cervical check and GBS test.

Have you / will you found out the sex? Baby boy!

ream02 · September 2013

For Mommies-to-be:

How many weeks are you? 10 wks 5 days

When is your EDD? 04/23

How are you feeling? Nauseous from the time I wake to the time I fall asleep at night.. and sick of feeling this way

What are you craving? Nothing

What is grossing you out? Anything dry. chewy meat. The last bite after I feel full already but am not getting enough calories in each day

Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Not yet

Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? My 1^st apt was on 9/19 and we saw it already kicking it’s lil leg buds. Was cute. And she kept my EDD the same as I told her I calculated. She says I missed my calling and should be a NFP counselor since I was right on with DS too. )

Have you / will you found out the sex? I really can’t decide. A huge part of me wants the surprise. But the other part of me wants to know if I’m getting a little girl as my last LO or another little boy to rough house with DS.

Any names picked out? Not really. I’ve made a list of a few I like but we haven’t talked about much.

How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Sharing with DS so it will probably remain jungle theme.

Anything else you would like to add or PIP? Sorry I’ve been gone the past 3 weeks. I’ve been super nauseous from morning to night and have been a total downer. Plus my computer died for a week in the beginning so I just took a break after it was fixed to focus on all the work that I couldn’t do without my desktop.

Already Mommies:

Best part of your week? DS is saying more and more words.

Worst part of your week? DH and I are arguing. Sometimes he can be such an insensitive jerk! (side note: I know I’m no angel either)

Milestones? None recently. Unless you count DS nose diving off a chair because he won’t stay on his bottom and getting one of the many he’s already had goose bumps on his forehead.

sgautschi · September 2013

@sparklingdiamond I think elephant nurseries are so adorable! My LOs is owls and elephants, and has purple/pink/brown. I love the boy version too with the blues/greens.

@TudorRose11 That feeling is the worst! I went to get up off the couch last night and screamed in pain and threw myself back because of it. It freaked DH out and I had to have him help me get off because I was hurting so bad and I just don't have the strength anymore. It used to just be uncomfortable, but with how big she is now, it's becoming so much worse and I can barely make it through the day anymore.

Oh and I love that diaper bag! So cute! And good luck at your appointment!

spin25 · September 2013

How many weeks are you? 25w2d

When is your EDD? 1/11

How are you feeling? Uncomfortable.

What are you craving? Nothing unusual

What is grossing you out? Still chicken sometimes; it's an off and on aversion

Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? My first purchase (other than the cribs)--some crib sheets. I think someone else here has the same ones; they are from Target. I got white ones with blue stars and yellow ones with white stars. Also, my best friend sent a pack n play since she can't come to my shower.

Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Glucose test on Wednesday

Have you / will you found out the sex? Boy and girl!

Any names picked out? Who needs names, anyway?

How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? It's slowly getting cleaned out.

pennstated912 · September 2013

@spin25 - that would be me with the crib sheets! Love them!
