Re: ~~Mommy & M2B Monday~~
How many weeks are you? 21w5d
When is your EDD? June 25
How are you feeling? Good mostly. I was really tired and hungry yesterday for a while and I thought maybe baby girl is going through a growth spurt. ETA: I seem to be peeing a lot more lately too. Is this just because she is growing and there is less room in there?
What are you craving? Nothing
What is grossing you out? Nothing except the snow and cold weather!
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Not lately.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Next check up is March 12. I need to also get on registering for childbirth class.
Have you / will you found out the sex? It's a girl!
Any names picked out? Carlee or Chloe. MN is Ann. I think we are leaning towards Carlee.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? We had a painter come over to look at the room and give us an estimate. My parents want to pay for the painting of the room as a gift. We are looking at getting it painted in March and then we can start putting everything together!
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? Not at the moment!

Best part of your week? Getting to spend yesterday with my mom. We had so much fun together and I love going shopping with her!
Worst part of your week? It's been a rough week. DH left to San Francisco Saturday and still isn't back. He should be here later today. It's the first time we've been apart from each other overnight, so that was tough to get used to. I also have been getting sick at the same time every night and have even been throwing up
Milestones? I don't even know. She just always amazes me by the new things she does every day but I can never think of what to put here. Lol.
PIP those kiddos! I will pip as soon as I get to my camera, I'm still in bed. Also, sorry this got so long.
LOs Age(s): 7 weeks

PIP those kiddos!

How are you feeling? Overall, pretty good! I can honestly say I'm enjoying being pregnant finally. I did have a weird stomach thing that hit last night, but it was short lived after my body (TMI)... uh, cleaned itself out both ways.

What is grossing you out? Same few things, but generally most things are fine now

Worst part of your week? Wakeful period! It is sooo much harder to get her to fall asleep now. It's frustrating and exhausting.
