In case I've never told you, Ava Nichol is so adorable!
BFP 2: 7/7/2014 Beta 7/8: 115, Beta 7/12: 638, Beta 7/16: 3793, Beta 7/21: 21,625
B/w 1/8: betas 17,345, progesterone 25.6
B Born 6.27.13
Worst part: He had started going to bed at 6. We don't get him home from DC till about 5:30/5:45, so our time is really limited
Milestones: Hes sleeping in his room in his crib like a big boy! His nursery still isn't finished though.
Best item on the registry was definitely the ergo. I used it every day on maternity leave and I use it every day Im home with him. He loves it and I love that I can grocery shop, go for walks or go to crowded places like a sporting event without taking a stroller.
B Born 6.27.13
Congrats to both my TTC buddies, Amberley18 and sb2006 on their beautiful babies!
Already Mommies:
Best part of your week? All the smiles that Arthur is giving out. Love it! I also got to sleep through the night last night. First time since Arthur has been born. I went back to work today. So, Mike got up with Arthur since he is now starting his paternity leave.
Worst part of your week? Going back to work. But, a small part of me is ready. I am ready to get back into the swing of things and get to our new normal.
Milestones? Smiles. All the smiles. Love it! He also is reaching up and grabbing at my face while he eats.
PIP those kiddos!
QOTW - What item would you recommend everyone have on their baby registry?
Aden and Anais swaddle blankets. They are amazing! And sleepers with zippers instead of the snaps.
After awhile, you just want to be with the one who makes you laugh. - Mr. Big
How many weeks are you? 32w5d
When is your EDD? 1/1/2014
How are you feeling? Tired and uncomfortable, but other than that, okay. I feel like I'm about to hit that "wall" everyone talks about, though... I am just so tired of being pregnant.
What are you craving? Nothing.
What is grossing you out? Nothing. ETA: Oooh, I just realized there is one thing that is totally grossing me out lately... I'm not a slasher-flick kinda gal even when not pregnant, but anything gross/gory on movies/TV makes me sick to my stomach. Like, even more so than normal. We were watching the first episode of Game of Thrones the other day, and there were some scenes that would normally not bug me, but I had to turn away because I felt myself getting sick over watching them.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? We bought the pack n play on Saturday and set it up on Sunday.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? My next appointment is November 19th.
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? It's a huge mess. Seriously.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? Not today.
QOTW - With the holidays coming up, are you doing anything special for your LO to commemorate being pg this year? Ever since we got married, we get an ornament that signifies things that happened that year, so I will most likely get pregnancy ornament.
BFP #5: 3/25/2015: EDD: 12/8/2015.
Worst part of your week? L did not adjust well to Daylight Savings time. Sleep has been rough.
Milestones? He can army crawl, pull to standing and cruise on the furniture.
QOTW - What item would you recommend everyone have on their baby registry? Probably the A&A blankets. They are our most-used blankets, by far, and L naps with them now too.
Congrats to both my TTC buddies, Amberley18 and sb2006 on their beautiful babies!
Best part of your week? Meeting with friends for dinner and the zoo over the weekend.
Worst part of your week? Zack having his first fever/cold. Poor baby
Milestones? Zack discovered his feet.
PIP those kiddos!
QOTW - What item would you recommend everyone have on their baby registry? A good video monitor. We love ours and even if you don't think you need one they are so nice to have to be able to check on the kids without disturbing them or checking to see if they are fussing because they actually need help or for some other reason.
.
I completely agree with this!!! Arthur's bedroom is very close to ours and we don't need it for the sound. We hear every sound he makes. But to be able to see if you really need to go in there or not, it's great!

Milestones: Evis getting braver about letting go

To make you feel my love.
Worst: She's still a little stuffed up so I moved her from her crib back to the RNP ... ugh
Milestones: Reaching and grabbing for everything!
One thing you need on your registry: I agree with PP ... A&A blankets are a must and the zip up sleepers .... so much easier at 3AM!
@LittleLady77

How are you feeling? Ehh...I got a flu shot last week and now I'm having a reaction or in general getting sick. It sucks. Dealing with no voice and a sneezy, runny, stuffy nose along with nausea hasn't been fun. I also vomited for the first time this morning...wee!

I love that you can move either camera from the base unit, it switches automatically between the two cameras or you can choose just to monitor one, it has lullabies built in you can play, and also has the ability to talk through the base unit to the camera. And obviously I like that it has the two camera capability. It also comes in a model with a smaller screen that is a bit cheaper. We got it on sale at Target along with an extra gift card when we bought it so got a really good deal on it.
.
We own this as well. Love it. Short life when it's not plugged in tho.
How many weeks are you? 6wks

Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Appt tomorrow with obgyn for my first prenatal visit and requesting bloodwork. First ultrasound is in 15 days!
Have you / will you found out the sex? We will. Cant wait!
Any names picked out? Actually we have four picked out. As soon as we find out the gender I'll let you know!
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Nothing yet. I'm going to try and hold off till we either know the gender or I fall in love with something gender neutral.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? Just excited for tomorrows appt!
QOTW - With the holidays coming up, are you doing anything special for your LO to commemorate being pg this year? Yup, we're announcing to family through an ultrasound ornament that says Coming in 2014. :-)
