Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Our shower was this weekend! LO received so much stuff! It was completely overwhelming! We also only got a few duplicates...our jogging stroller, video monitor, umbrella stroller, and walker. Not bad! I can't even begin to list all of the incredible gifts LO received. He's so loved already.

How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? The crib and dresser are set up! I've also hung the curtains...but plan on replacing the curtain rods because the curtains just don't look right with the ones that are up there. I also need to get some fabric to make some tie backs. DH is sketching out the bookshelves he's going to build. It's finally started and I plan to get moving on it even more this week!

When is your EDD? April 22nd but delivering closer to the 8th!
How are you feeling? Good! Indigestion is crazy but good otherwise!
What are you craving? At the moment, comfort soups. Mmmmm.
What is grossing you out? Lots of stuff non food related that give me random aversions.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Hairbows! But I am done all her clothes shopping until she's here and everything for her nursery! I am trying a February spending freeze though so have to control myself now!
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Wednesday - HR appt, ultrasound and internist.
Have you / will you found out the sex? GIRL!
Any names picked out? ATM, We are naming her Amelia and will lovingly call her Molly. Flame away (I have gotten tons of heat on other forums for the two not being connected) but meh. Molly will just be NN we will use. (We don't want to full on name her Molly as it has a NN feel to us and my Mum who's a CEO mentioned that it might be good to consider a formal name for resumes etc). We love the two names so we're using both.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? It's a mess now but I am mid-organization! In that weird phase where I want to start doing stuff but I don't want to be done too early.
LOs Age(s): H is 3.5 and E is 1
Best part of your week? H made a snowman with my Mum - cutest thing ever. Also his daycare provider just got married and I was explaining what marriage is. And he said, "you get married so you can hug someone....I'm going to marry my brother". Love that child.
Worst part of your week? Just indigestion can be a bummer
LOs Age(s): 20 weeks
Best part of your week? We had a really good time yesterday at my mom's. DD was great during the game and then took a nap while DH, mom, mom's H and I played poker for a while.
Worst part of your week? She's been a little cranky for the past few days. I don't know if she's pushing a tooth or what but it's been hard to see her upset.
Milestones? She's doing really good with turning over. It's gotten constant and it isn't that hard for her anymore.
PIP those kiddos!
Here she is sucking her thumb with her index finger "around" her nose. So cute!
How many weeks are you? 19w5d
When is your EDD? June 25

@bridget0117- how the hell is she already 20 weeks?!?!
My Ovulation Chart
When is your EDD? 8/3/14
How are you feeling? I'm feeling great! So much more energy (we even did a 4mi XC skii rout this weekend!) and barely any nausea. This means I've been doing a lot more eating, though
What are you craving? Pretty much most food sounds good, though I did have a huge craving for those red white and blue firecracker popsicles this weekend, and that craving was satisfied! They've never tasted so good!
What is grossing you out? Still any ethnic/spicey/strong smelling food
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Nope. I had someone ask if we were finished with the nursery yesterday
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Next appointment with the midwife is next Monday 2/10, and we'll probably schedule the a/s after that
Have you / will you found out the sex? Yes!
Any names picked out? Nope. Though I did crack open the name book this weekend for about 10 minutes, so... that's progress
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? I think we'll be doing a nature/biology/animal theme. I was inspired by these pictures (which are way out of our price range, just FTR), and I'll probably just branch off of that. And of course I could totally change my mind in a week!
TTC September 2013 | BFP 11/21/13 | Chart | EDD 8/3/14 | It's a girl!

LOs Age(s): 11 days
Best part of your week? I was dealing with some baby blues stuff and DH was holding Colin. In the middle of our discussion, DH held up Colin and he gave the largest toothless grin ever. I'm sure it's because he farted or something, but it was perfectly timed. Lol
Worst part of your week? Over the weekend, he just inconsolable from morning until overnight. We discovered he had a stuffy nose. It was so sad.
Milestones? He slept in his crib last night instead of his PNP!
PIP those kiddos!
This was Colin watching the Super Bowl. He was extremely interested.

Any names picked out? You'll have to wait 8 more weeks to find out.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Two pips at the end (the third is refusing to load) - most of her furniture doesn't come until the 17th, but we already had her bookcase, and we bought the nightstand last weekend and the glider came in yesterday. I've also been working on her closet. The rug is going to be replaced once her furniture is in, DH will take that out next weekend. Since we're home because of the snow, we're hoping to get the curtain rods installed so I can try out the valances and possible curtains too.

Worst part of your week? Lucy wasn't feeling well Thursday evening-Saturday
Milestones? Nothing I can think of
PIP those kiddos!
Best part of your week? Taking LO to meet Matt's dad and grandmother.. they were so happy to meet her. His dad isn't doing well and this is the happiest we've seen or heard him in months. She did so well during the trip. It was an hour to H's dad's and another hour and a half into New Jersey to get to Grandma's.

My TTC Journey Blog
How many weeks are you? 14 weeks 1 day
When is your EDD? August 3rd
How are you feeling? Good other than the heartburn I've been getting. No matter what I eat/drink I get it. Isn't it a little early for that?!
What are you craving? cereal, cookies and milk, cold fruit
What is grossing you out? spicy and strong smelling stuff. I basically can't handle eating leftovers anymore because of the smell.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Nope.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Next monthly appointment is on 2/17. Should be scheduling the a/s then too!
Have you / will you found out the sex? Nope, Team Green!

How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Nothing yet. It's still our guest room. Now that our downstairs renovation is mostly done, DH can start clearing out the room to replace the carpet and paint. I don't think we'll start for a few more weeks. I'm thinking of doing an Eric Carle theme.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? No.
RIP Dr. Irving Fishman - 10/1/19-7/25/10 - thank you for holding on for me.
You made my wedding day complete.
LOs Age(s): 8 weeks
Best part of your week? Even though the Super Bowl was super boring (poor, poor Broncos...), we had a lot of fun. DH's brother and dad came over and we all watched it together. Elle was even pretty good up until the end when she got super cranky and just wanted to go to bed. Unfortunately, it took a couple of hours to finally get her down for the night.
Worst part of your week? Elle was sick and spiked a 100.1 fever and was vomiting for 12 hours. She seems to be feeling better now.
Milestones? She is very interesting in hanging toys and bats at them with her hands. She also has discovered her hands and loves chewing on them.
My first day back at work is today and so far, it is going well!
