Re: Mommy and Mommy to Be Monday
When is your EDD? 3/31/14
How are you feeling? Pregnancy wise, not bad. Some aches that I'm attributing to RLP. Waiting for kicks! Health wise, did anyone get the license plate of that mack truck that hit me, so to speak? A little better right now but I still feel cloudy.
What are you craving? Still salty things.
What is grossing you out? Meat.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Nope! Figure that will change soon though - we are going to start the registry soon.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Nothing soon. A/S on 11/20.
Have you / will you found out the sex? It's a girl!
Any names picked out? Yep, but not sharing until birth, as per Jewish tradition.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? We started figuring out what needs to move where when. We are starting to move the house around after Thanksgiving, since we are hosting this year.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? Nope - although HDBD is more exciting now that I have a legit bump!
QOTW-What is the weather like in your area? Is the wind getting to you? Is it finally cooling down? The wind hasn't been too bad today, but it is cooling down. But it's supposedly going to be in the high 60s later this week, so who knows?
RIP Dr. Irving Fishman - 10/1/19-7/25/10 - thank you for holding on for me.
You made my wedding day complete.
When is your EDD? 6/7
How are you feeling? Bloated like a dang balloon
What are you craving? Pop unfortunately, and I haven't had pop in probably 5 years (except when mixed with alcohol).
What is grossing you out? Cigarette smoke. I think my scenses are heightened, because I about got sick Saturday night when I was around the IL's and they were smoking in the house.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Not since last week.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? First appointment and dating ultrasound a week from today! YAY!
Have you / will you found out the sex? Still not agreeing on this.
Any names picked out? There are a few on the list. I've decided it should be a boy, because there's only 2 on that list and we've somewhat decided which one we would go with. The girl list has 10 names.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Still a spare bedroom. Although we looked at carpet yesterday and took home a few samples to put in there. H is hoping to have the drywall work finished in there by the end of February.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? I called my Dr again this morning, because I spotted from Monday-Saturday last week. It was bright red immediately after ST, then was brown the rest of the week. They think it's all from ST, and said it's nothing to be concerned about. But of course the worry wart in me was freaking out.
QOTW-What is the weather like in your area? Is the wind getting to you? Is it finally cooling down? Cold! Not liking it. Although the forecast is showing 50's the rest of the week. So that's good, but showers every day. So it will be cold, wet rain. Yuck.

Already Mommies:
Best part of your week? Just enjoying the babies and watching them go to a party in their costumes
Worst part of your week? Fighting head colds
Best Part of Week-We got lots of family time this weekend
Worst Part of Week-Ava Nichol has been waking up in the middle of the night screaming and crying and when I go in there she is still asleep in her bed with her plug in her mouth. I am afraid she is having nightmares but I don't know if that is possible.
Milestones-I know I keep saying it but we have been working on her colors and she is getting really good with picking them out and she can say blue, purple and yellow
QOTW-it is windy in the areas around us but our county hasn't gotten a wind warning yet. We did get a freezing warning. It is supposed to get down to 29 and there is mixed snow in the forecast. We got Ava Nichol snow pants and a winter jacket and I was planning on saving them for Christmas because for the last 4 or 5 years we haven't gotten snow before Christmas but our plans might have to change!

How are you feeling? Like poo. I'm totally crabby after last night (FYI - you're gonna have to call a waaaaahmbulance). I've been nauseous (like first tri m/s nauseous) since about 5pm last night. I got horrible BH that the baby tried to kick through. I didn't really sleep at all. Finally today, I threw up and now have heartburn. Ugh...

Worst part of your week? Watching my poor baby deal with reflux.
Milestones? She is starting to roll over from back to front, no joke. She can't do it from completely laying flat, but if we have her slightly propped up she rolls onto her side or tummy. Crazy girl!
PIP those kiddos!
QOTW-What is the weather like in your area? Is the wind getting to you? Is it finally cooling down?

Worst part of your week? She wouldn't go to sleep last night, not sure why. We drugged her with Benadryl and I don't feel bad about it.

Right now everything is great. I can't pick something. But I am just enjoying watching her grow and watching how much DH loves her and how she looks for him when she hears his voice. It's beautiful!
Worst part of your week?
We tried going to dinner last night and she started crying right before we went in (it was right around the time of her colic time) so we ended up eating subway at home. I hate seeing her in pain.
Milestones?
She sleeps all night long
PIP those kiddos!
QOTW-What is the weather like in your area? Is the wind getting to you? Is it finally cooling down?
