Re: Mommy and Mommy to Be Monday

  • How many weeks are you? 18 weeks - a sweet potato!

    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?

  • How many weeks are you? 8

    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.

    Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Had my NT scan on Friday.  Now I just wait for the bloodwork results.

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

    QOTW-What is the weather like in your area? Is the wind getting to you? Is it finally cooling down? It's weird.  It was super rainy this weekend.  It goes from being cold in the mornings to like 80 in the afternoons!

  • Already Mommies

    Best Part of Week-We got lots of family time this weekend :) it feels good to have the time together especially since our weekends have been so busy.

    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 :) also she loves counting and says two all the time. I finally got her to say two three, two three, two three :) I don't know why she won't say one haha

    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 many weeks are you? 30w5d

    When is your EDD? 1/1/2014

    How are you feeling? Pretty good. Heartburn is not fun and I'm getting tired really easily lately, but other than that, I can't complain too much.

    What are you craving? Nothing.

    What is grossing you out? Nothing.

    Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? We got our crib and set it up over the weekend! I can't believe I have a crib in my house.

    Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Just got back from an appointment. I'm happy to report that my placenta moved up and we are in the clear. :D

    Have you / will you found out the sex? It's a girl.

    Any names picked out? Elle Rose

    How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Like I mentioned above, we finally have a crib! But... that's as far as it has gotten so far. I plan to start spending money for decorations soon, though.

    Anything else you would like to add or PIP? Not today.

    QOTW-What is the weather like in your area? Is the wind getting to you? Is it finally cooling down? It was beautiful over the weekend, but we woke up to pouring rain this morning. It feels like fall, though, which I am loving.

  • For Mommies-to-be: 

    How many weeks are you?  17w2d

    When is your EDD?  April 5th

    How are you feeling?  Pretty good!

    What are you craving?  Nothing really.  I never crave something until I hear about it.  Like with the chocolate milk thing from last week.  And now chocolate milk sounds amazing.

    What is grossing you out?  Nothing.

    Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately?  Not for the baby, but I went through the bin of maternity clothes from my co-worker.  I won't need to by any pants for the rest of my pregnancy!  I do need some shirts, but pants are always more expensive!!

    Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments?  A/S is one week from today!!!!!

    Have you / will you found out the sex?  8:15am next Monday!

    Any names picked out?  Donald Paul or Elizabeth Claire

    How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes?  We still haven't done anything in the nursery, but we did pick out our crib and dresser this weekend!!  :)  My parents want to buy the furniture for us and since my mom got a 20% off coupon, it's probably going to get purchased this week!  We could have baby furniture in our house by the end of November!!  Holy moly!

    Anything else you would like to add or PIP?  My mom booked the place for my baby shower!!  I'm so excited!!

    QOTW-What is the weather like in your area? Is the wind getting to you? Is it finally cooling down?   The wind was bad this past weekend.  It's calmed down some now, which is nice.  It's definitely cooling off and while I love Fall, I don't like the freezing/wintry temps we've been having.

    When is your EDD? January 19

    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...

    What are you craving? Sleep.

    What is grossing you out? Nothing.

    Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? We signed up for Amazon Prime and got our first set of diaper and wipes delivered to the house! Lol.

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

    Any names picked out? We have it narrowed down.

    Best part of your week? Watching my baby girl grow. She's crazy strong, has been holding her head up pretty much since day 1, it's so amazing to watch her. :)

    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?

    It was crazy windy last night, and cold. Today it's clear and in the 60s. Definitely looking like fall. :)

    I haven't had an u/s since our NT scan at 13w3d.  My OB said my a/s should be between 18-20 weeks.  So, we're going on 18w2d!!  We can't wait to find out if baby is a boy or girl!!!  We're the same way.  I started our registries, but there's not much else I want to do until we find out everything is OK in there!

  • Already Mommies: 

    Best part of your week? 

    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 :)

    How many weeks are you? 29 tomorrow. Yikes.

    When is your EDD? January 14th

    How are you feeling? Okay, super tired, but I found out that I'm borderline anemic, so I'm hoping the prescription I'm picking up shortly will take care of that. 

    What are you craving? Salsa and Sour Cream

    What is grossing you out? The smell of beer on someones breath, we went to brunch with our friends yesterday and one of the guys smelled of beer... I almost died.

    Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? My mom bought baby a newborn sized outfit with ducks on it and a set of converse booties. I've already decided the booties will be used for their first pictures. 

    Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments?  I have an appointment Wednesday morning to go over bloodwork results, get my rhogam shot and have a growth ultrasound. 

    Have you / will you found out the sex? Nope. Nope. Nope. 

    Any names picked out? Just a boy name, we can't agree on a girl's name. I really like Avery Elizabeth but H doesn't because Avery is a character from 30 Rock. 

    How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? ...Nursery smursery... I mean yeah, it's totally started. Mmhmm. 

    Anything else you would like to add or PIP? Nah, I'd PIP myself, but I'm stuffing myself with salsa and drinking cool-aid. Classy classy.

    QOTW-What is the weather like in your area? Is the wind getting to you? Is it finally cooling down? It's cool here, but it's Pennsylvania in late October! Its supposed to be cool! I love it! Fall is my favorite!

  • Best part of the week was the ToT event we went to over the weekend. I loved all the character and costumes. My favorite was an angry mob of townspeople trying to capture a monster. They had some really neat displays of carved pumpkins too.

    Worst part of the week: still coping with a poor sleeper. Darn teeth!

    Milestones: none

    Weather: cooling down and feeling like fall. I love it!

    I could hold you for a million years
    To make you feel my love.
