Re: Moms & Mommy 2B Monday!
When is your EDD? January 14, 2014
How are you feeling? Pretty good, aside from horrendous headaches. I've been miserable for almost 2 and a half days, it's finally fading today since I took the day off work and have been sleeping off and on.
What are you craving? Velveeta Mac and Cheese and orange juice
What is grossing you out? The smell of the trash can, but that's probably not baby related...
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Nope, not officially at least. My grandmother in law did call yesterday and tell me she bought a sweater and a blanket to bring baby home in. I didn't have the heart to tell her that it's a 7 minute drive from our house to the hospital and we'll probably just bundle them up in a sleeper and blankets. I really don't want to mess with a sweater...
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? We have an appointment on the 30th of October, which I think is my last monthly appointment and we'll move to every 2 weeks. I have to go get my GD testing done around 28 weeks. (hooray.)
Have you / will you found out the sex? Nope, team green, but it's getting harder to not know what it is.
Any names picked out? Just a boy name, we can't agree on a girl name.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? We're going to start emptying it out this week and hopefully paint next weekend
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? Nope, I'd show you my lovely face today, but I still have a towel on my head.
How many weeks are you? 8w3d
When is your EDD? May 15, 2014
How are you feeling? Extra tired this past week! I was falling asleep while we watched TV at like 8:30 every night! Also, had to stop for Imodium this morning before work. Being pg has seriously messed with my digestive system!
What are you craving? This past weekend it was Chinese food.
What is grossing you out? The stew I made last night with sausage and tomatoes. It sounded good and smelled good while making it. Then when it was done, the smell was disgusting and I couldn't eat it :-(
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? A family member bought me a cute onesie with an elephant on it!
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? I have my 2nd u/s this Fri at 4:15. Then my next appt with the doctor is on the 17th.
Have you / will you found out the sex? Yes, we will find out.
Any names picked out? I have names I like, but DH doesn't agree.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? We won't start this until we move into our new house. It will be elephant themed.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? Nope!

Natural Cycle (8/7/13)- BFP! Beta #1 (9/10/13): 509 Progesterone: 18.64 Beta #2 (9/12/13): 1118
How many weeks are you? 6 weeks 4 days
When is your EDD? May 28th, 2014
How are you feeling? I feel OK. some on and off cramping. Huge boobs (which my husband is obsessed with), and a tad bit of nausea but nothing I can’t handle!
What are you craving? nothing
What is grossing you out? This one guy I work with is sick and it made me want to vomit. I don’t need a description of your nasty sickness.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Nope!
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? We have an U/S tomorrow morning to see if they can find the heartbeat. And of course I’m sooo anxious about it. I think I’ll feel a million times better after that
Have you / will you found out the sex? I really would love to be team green, but I’m having a hard time convincing the husband of that
Any names picked out? We have names we love. My grandmothers name is Rosalia which I’m obsessed with. We also love, Lucas, Penelope, Bernard (my husbands name)…there are a lot actually! So those are some of the top contenders
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Way too early for that, but H did ask the other day if he should clear the bed out of the guest room. I was like ummm we’ve got some time buddy!
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? My husband is officially obsessed with my pregnant body, which besides the boobs, I think is exactly the same…anyone else have this happen. I can’t get him to keep his hands off me and honestly I’m so not interested in sex at all. We had sex on Saturday night and I felt swollen, which I read is normal because of all the blood flowing and hormones…he asked me this morning before he left for work if he could see my boobs to check and see if they’re any bigger than yesterday. which totally got the side eye from me. L-)

How are you feeling? Pretty great! Yay for 1st tri crap finally going away!
What are you craving? Nothing.
What is grossing you out? Nothing.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? My mom has been buying stuff since we told them, but she finally gave us everything she's purchased. We got....tons of bibs, sleepers, receiving blankets, crib mattress cover, a super soft blanket, pacifiers, NB diapers, travel wipe warmer, hangers, a lamb night light, a really cute teddy bear that plays Peek-a-Boo, and also a bouncy seat that can turn into a rocker for a toddler. I think that's everything...but I'm sure I'm missing something. And in my mom's words, "Well, that's all I bought for now. I'm sure there will be more the next time you come over."
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Had a check up this morning. Everything is great!
Have you / will you found out the sex? We will in about 4 weeks!!!
Any names picked out? Donald Paul or Elizabeth Claire
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Still the guest room...but now it's the guest room with bags of baby stuff sitting on the bed!

How are you feeling? Alright. I've had a bit of cramping lately. It's not horrible pain, but it's slightly uncomfortable. My boobs have also grown, and that sucks. I didn't realize that would happen within the first couple of weeks. Thankfully I kept a lot of my bras from when I weighed 30lbs more than I do now, so I can just pull those out of the attic.

How are you feeling? Pretty good, actually. I was having a lot of cramps on Saturday, but I drank like 48oz of water in like an hour... and then proceeded to spend the day running to the bathroom. LOL. But the cramps went away after that, so I'm sure it was just due to dehydration.
What are you craving? Nothing.

Baby E born: 2/16/2014 at 12:56pm. 5lb 15oz
Best Part Week-Definitely visiting the apple cider mill! We went on Friday with our play date group and went back Sunday with Daddy, Grandma and my little brother and cousin. She loved the goats and ducks and had a blast riding a pony. Then we all picked out pumpkins
Worst Part of week-We had a really good week. She visited Grandpa on Saturday and she pooped twice for him and he didn't notice the second one right away and he felt so terrible because her bum was all red. She was fine by the next diaper change so no big deal but he felt so bad!
Milestones-she is having an opinion of her own. She picked out her own pumpkin and Daddy's and she llet's you know what she likes. Oh and she is remembering things from week to week or even longer. I am not ready for long term memory! I have to start watching what I say because she knows, understands and remembers much more. We won't be able to buy her Christmas presents with her this year!

Any names picked out? I liked Sophia for a girl until I saw how popular it was on the list. And I liked Christian for a boy but then my 1st cousin found out they are having a boy and that is what they are naming their son so that’s out too. So while I’ve written down some names, I really don’t have anything that I just love yet.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? It’s going to be a shared room so jungle theme
Already Mommies:
Best part of your week? It’s Monday, so nothing yet.
Worst part of your week? DS had an allergy attack this weekend because he was given dairy at a wedding and he has a dairy protein allergy so he spent the rest of the weekend being miserable and groggy from allergy meds.

Speak sweetly so that if you ever have to eat your words, they don't taste bad.
