How are you feeling?
I'm having some really good days lately! Friday I had to WFH because I felt like I got hit by the MS/fatigue truck, but that passed and DH and I went on a run together Saturday which was both awesome and painful... Ha! Also, I think RLP started already? Random sharp pains to the left and right of my groin, in the hip flexer area. Ouch!
What are you craving? Cheese tortellini. But I can't find any GF tortellini

Not even a little.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes?
Nada.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP?
I'm considering myself basically in 2nd tri... We're telling people now and it's so much easier to say "starting 2nd trimester" than "12 weeks". Most people look at me cross eyed when I count in weeks!
TTC September 2013 | BFP 11/21/13 | Chart | EDD 8/3/14 | It's a girl!

What are you craving? Anything light. Yogurt, fruit, salad. And cold drinks.
What is grossing you out? Meat and heavy foods. We had Chinese yesterday and even though I just ate veggies it didn't sit well

Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? First monthly appointment on Wednesday. It seems like it's been forever since my 8 week. I'm nervous but excited at the same time...

Any names picked out? We've been talking about them, well mostly I look and ask DH if he likes what I like. Our girls are narrowed down to Annabelle and Gabriella with the middle name Susan (after my mom). Our boys list is much longer since we can't agree. My favorites are Asher, Carter, and Walker (middle name John after DH). DH likes Anderson.

When is your EDD? 9/3
How are you feeling? Pretty much fine, although I've been pretty exhausted the last couple of days. No real nausea to speak of, though, and my boobs aren't quite as sore as they were, though they're still sensitive.
What are you craving? Nothing specific, usually only something if it's mentioned.

Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? No.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? A final appt with the RE this Thursday, which I'm hoping DH finally gets to go to. Then they'll be writing a scrip for all the progesterone I'll need to get me to 11w and copying all my files to take back to my OB.

How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? No progress.
B/w 1/8: betas 17,345, progesterone 25.6
LO's age-Almost 2 (21 months)
Best Part of Week-My mom got Ava Nichol a fish and she named him Blue (he is a blue beta fish). She now knows her fish is blue, her dog/puppy is Frankie and her cat is Paco and she can say all three
Worst Part of Week-We had a really good week so I am going to go with her drawing with a blue marker on the sliding glass door. This is the first time she has colored on something else since we got her the easel. Ugh. Plus she loves to clean so making her clean it up is like a special treat for her.
Milestones-She can walk backwards and is very proud of it! She is also getting more words every day and learning that she can draw something with her pen rather than just scribble.
And here is a sleepy little girl

Any names picked out? Bernard ‘Bear’ Bruce. He will be a jr.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? I have furniture! Which is a step in the right direction. I don’t intend on having any sort of theme just classic pieces that match our house. You can see into the nursery from the family room and so I want it to all blend nicely
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? Nada. Except I’m getting full very quickly these days which is sad because I want to eat all the foods!!<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
The Rowdy Roberts
LOs Age(s): 3 weeks
Best part of your week? Squishy baby cuddles
Worst part of your week? We decided to take a trip to the mall. It was really fun until I had to nurse her, and despite there being private rooms for nursing, I ended up feeling very anxious and overwhelmed by it. I don't feel comfortable nursing anywhere other than home yet... Or with visitors over.
Milestones? I think she hit her 3 week growth spurt. We moved up to size 1 diapers today and I think her NB clothes are almost too small (she's over 9lbs now).
PIP those kiddos!
