How are you feeling? Pretty good. DH has a cold and I think I might be catching it... I just hope it passes quickly.
What are you craving? Random things.. today was mac and cheese. Steadily craving cereal.
What is grossing you out? The thought of Mexican or Chinese food hasn't been appealing.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Nope
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? I was supposed to have my 16 wk appt today, but the Dr. was called into labor. I'm rescheduled for next Monday.
Have you / will you found out the sex? No, still team green. Although it is tempting to f
find out.
Any names picked out? Annabelle Susan for a girl, Anderson John or Carter John for a boy. We still might end up changing our minds.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? It's still the guest room. Hopefully next weekend we can get rid of the last two boxes and start cleaning it out. I think we have our theme... nothing ordered yet thought
The only new development is officially hiring our nanny, other than that everything is the same. We are totally done with all preparations but being mentally prepared is something else. I have no idea how to mentally prepare yourself for two babies. At my last ultrasound both babies were about 4lbs and measuring near the 80%. I'm 32 weeks but my belly is measuring 37-38 weeks. I'm HUGE and exhausted all the time but also getting more excited.
I don't think you can ever be fully prepared! When A and S were both in the NICU, I desperately wanted them home. When they told us A would be discharged in a couple of days, we went into panic mode, lol. We weren't ready and they were four weeks old when A came home, 5.5 weeks when S came home. You just do what you can. It's nerve-wracking but you can do it.
@madeline10L and @MRads - DH and I both really want a girl. I've never imagined having anything else, so that's the only reason I'm "feeling" girl. I've had two dreams LO was a boy and one he/she was a girl. Of course we'll be thrilled either way and I feel a lot of guilt for wanting a girl so bad, but that's just how I feel. Most of the old wives tales point to girl, but I know G-d has a sense of humor, so I guess we'll see.
You two are literally the only ones who have guessed boy so far!
This is what happens when I don't use a computer to post on Mondays. Sorry for the lateness girls!
For Mommies-to-be:
How many weeks are you? Today I am 8w 5d.

How are you feeling? I am feeling pretty good today and yesterday. I pretty much have nausea in and out all day, but I realized yesterday if I eat all the time, I will be fine.
What are you craving? Apples and soda - like sprite or ginger ale.
What is grossing you out? Still onion rings and bacon, but pretty much if it doesn't look appealing to me, I won't eat it.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Nope.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? March 10 is the next OB appointment.
Have you / will you found out the sex? We will.

Anything else you would like to add or PIP? Nope.
Already Mommies:
LOs Age(s): 4 years old.
Best part of your week? Watching her have such a good time at Dave and Busters on Valentine's Day. Her eyes lit up so much when she was winning tickets.
Worst part of your week? Lexi had caught another virus and spiked a 102.8 fever on Saturday. She also developed croup Friday morning. Luckily we had a 3 day weekend for her to recover. She is back to her old self, but she is still a little whiny. At least she's back to eating again.
Milestones? Her imagination just grows and grows. It's such a great feeling watching her interact with her toys like they were real.
Best part of your week? Colin is keeping his bottle down better. We went an entire day of feeding without spit up!
Worst part of your week? On Valentine's Day, DH and I went to dinner while my ILs watched him. Instead of playing with him during his awake time (we try to keep him awake and active at least two hours before bedtime), they let him sleep. It screwed up his schedule and he only slept in 45 minute increments the entire night. I wanted to kill them.
Milestones? Colin smiles! They aren't his usual gas smiles. This was while we were playing
