Weeks Pregnant: 15 weeks (and 5 days)

Recent Milestones?: We ordered Christmas cards that will be our way of announcing to extended family and friends we haven't told yet. They should be delivered today! We'll be sending them out the first week of December and then all of the important people in our life will know

How is mom (or mom-to-be) doing these days?: I'm starting to get anxious because I have an appointment on Wednesday, and I always start to worry that something could be wrong right before an appointment :-/

BONUS: How many children would you like to have eventually?

We would like 2 or 3 kids (2 being more likely)

Cycle... 6'ish? I'm not 100% sure. I know our timing was really good this cycle though (probably the first one I can say that for) so fingers crossed.

2 kids at the most for us. Will hopefully be 2 as long as there are no problems. Hubby basically refuses to have an only child lol

Age of your Little One/ Weeks Pregnant/ # of Cycles you've been trying: 39 weeks 1 day pregnant

Recent Milestones?: I started having some early labor signs today. I also have an induction scheduled for next Tuesday if baby doesn't come before that. I have Gestational Diabetes which is diet controlled so they are letting me go to 40 weeks. So essentially I should have a baby in my arms no later than 12/3.

How is mom (or mom-to-be) doing these days?: I am sore today (my back hurts, cramps, etc.), but overall i am hanging in there.

BONUS: How many children would you like to have eventually? I want one more child. I don't know if we will adopt or go through another pregnancy. I have had a rough pregnancy (lots of nausea and vomiting throughout, gestational diabetes, etc.), so my husband says one and done, but I am vetoing it. We will see how everything goes once this little one gets here and then make decisions.

18 cycles- adoption plan in place. Male factor infertility.

milestones- all our paperwork is back, mailed to agency today for review. Hoping to have home visit done in next few weeks, then have our profile approved. Still working on our profile book to be presented to birth mothers.

how many children, would love 2, will settle for one at this point.

Age of your Little One/ Weeks Pregnant/ # of Cycles you've been trying: 25 weeks tomorrow

Recent Milestones?: Really nothing lately.. Which is always a good thing. Second trimester is pretty easy. Other then all the PAIN I have. Have a midwife appointment today.. Lately I have been getting more and more nervous about giving birth naturally. I don't know why. I figure its normal to feel this way. I am just scared of what if I CANT do it? But then the other side of me is like you CAN do this. There is no other way I would want it to happen. So I have been watching a lot of birthing videos on youtube of moms having natural births in birthing centers just so it gets me more excited instead of nervous. I watched this one yesterday and it is just SO inspiring. It says Graphic, but its really not http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSnC8a2xizQ

How is mom (or mom-to-be) doing these days?: Oh I guess I answered that above Lol. I am doing ok except for being in pain 24/7. Hip pain, back pain, rib pain. I can walk for like 5 minutes and then I need to sit down. I don't exercise regularly and that is my fault but I have no motivation.

BONUS: How many children would you like to have eventually? One and done!! But my husband wants at least 2. I'm like 'ok. If you can figure out a way for you to carry the next baby then its a deal.'

mancila60 · November 2013

@invane00 all that pain is exactly how I was. It was horrible! Baths really do help I would soak in the tub every night after work and H had to cook dinner every night by 25 weeks because I just couldn't stand long enough. Hang in there it really is worth it!

court115 · November 2013

Age of your Little One/ Weeks Pregnant/ # of Cycles you've been trying: 10 Months

Recent Milestones?: Just learning new stuff every day!

How is mom (or mom-to-be) doing these days?: Mom is tired! I feel like I always say that hahaha but no, life is good.

BONUS: How many children would you like to have eventually? 3. I can't wait to get started on number 2!

Mona8 · November 2013

Update: My appointment went well! Baby's heartbeat was good and he or she was kicking like crazy
