Best part of your week? L is starting to laugh at himself. He will do something or attempt to do something and find himself hilarious. This equals him busting out in laughter and then I laugh at him, which makes him showoff even more. It is adorable!!
Worst part of your week?
Our entire household had the stomach bug this week. It was terrible!
Milestones? L is trying to jump. He bends down and then stands straight up. His feet do not leave the floor yet but he is trying.
What are you craving? Last night I had a sudden and strong craving for a cheeseburger. DH called in and picked up an order from a local place that does them out of Kobe beef and I did indecent things to it upon its arrival home.
Best part of your week? K's swim class!!! She did awesome and it was so fun splashing around with her
Worst part of your week? Probably not the wost thing, but K has been refusing her second solids at day care for the whole week. I think it was to do with her teething though.
Milestones? First swim class and she started waving!
Best part of your week? getting the house almost 100% complete of all renos so we can sell this mo fo.
Worst part of your week? bleeding last week and being in limbo waiting to find out my betas aka, likely miscarrying. Also, my hormones feel like they are crashing today and I have a headache and I'm incredibly teary.
Milestones? My kid hit the terrible twos hard this weekend (either that or my patience is thin after this last week), and I need winter to be over so he can run around outside. His behavious is a product of being held captive indoors but refusing to wear appropriate winter clothes/boots so we can actually go out. Bring on spring.
PIP those kiddos!

@lindsayandjamie, I'm so sorry you're still in limbo. That's the worst feeling, having to sit and wait for the other shoe to drop. When is your next beta?
TTC since July 2012
BFP #1: 11/9/13; spontaneous m/c at 6w2d, 11/25/13
When is your EDD? April 22 but will be induced on the 17th due to GD and my disease
How are you feeling? Good but my appetite ha een slashed
What are you craving? Blah. Nothing
What is grossing you out? At the moment everything.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? A pair of bloomers that I will put away until Xmas bc they are for an older size. Formula too
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Had my appt last week. Set and induction date
Have you / will you found out the sex? Yes! Girl!
Any names picked out? Amelia Madelins and we will lovingly call her Molly
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Ha! Well I feel begin but it is slowly coming together. Furniture is set up and bedding is on. But things have to be done re organixation!
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? Not really. Starting to get super excited to have our family complete.
Already Mommies:
LOs Age(s): Hudson is 3.5 (going on 20!) and Ethan is 14 months!
Best part of your week? Tagged along on dh's business trip. And it was so cute to have the boys there
Worst part of your week? E was awake a lot at night when we were away but it was all so unfamiliar to him, I don't blame him!
Milestones? H's manners are just mid blowing!! E is sleepin so well lately and is busting out a ton of teeth. Where did my baby go!?
LOs Age(s):12 weeks! She will be 3 months on Friday.
Best part of your week? She has been so happy in the evenings for the past couple of days. We were even able to watch most of the Oscars last night with her, and then when we put her down for the night, she went right to sleep. It's such a nice change from screaming every evening at 5 o'clock on the dot until she finally goes to sleep at 10.
Worst part of your week? She had a horrible night on Friday-Saturday. My DH let me sleep and took the night feedings, but unfortunately, she woke me up at 2:30 and I was never able to go back to sleep. Which meant that nobody slept that night. Saturday was really hard, as we were both exhausted.
Milestones? I caught her staring intently at her hands the other day. She also is showing more and more interest in toys and moving pictures (like the TV, her ceiling projected, etc.). I only let her watch the tv/computer screen for a few minutes, but it's so fun watching her stare intently at the screen.
Screw jinxing it.
How many weeks are you? 4w 3d
When is your EDD? 11/7

Have you / will you found out the sex? We will
Any names picked out? I do, but I've never discussed them with DH.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Nothing yet. Still a guest room.
Anything else you would like to add? Nada

@lindsayandjamie My like was for your LO, not what's going on. I'm sorry you're still in limbo. Thoughts and prayers that this will get solved soon. Lots of hugs
@luckyangel07 - I haven't gotten my first betas back and it's driving me crazy. I had to go to my reg doc and not my gyn onc so they don't get the results as quickly. So my next one will be Wed probably.

@mrads - I'm liking your post for the adorable pics. Sorry your H is so sick and I hope they figure it out soon. Also hope B feels better soon. As far as the weight gain, it's somewhat normal to slow down once they are mobile (Delilah only gained a total of 3.5 lbs between 6 mo and 1 yr). And with him being sick on top of it, I would try not to worry too much about the lack of gain. Was your doc concerned?
He isn't mobile, and he's only taking in 8-12 oz. so were keeping a food journal to see what's going on. Thanks!
@mrads - hope they figure it out soon and it's just something simple like his ears making it uncomfortable to suck/eat or he's just on the smaller side and doesn't need as much. Sorry it's causing concerns.
@MRads I hope B and your H get better ASAP. @GoodWolf re: biology, wait until after your LO comes. I'm still intrigued by leaking as a result of hearing babies cry. And every time I held LO's in the nicu, I pumped way more than normal. Fascinating.
