How are you feeling? Pretty good for the most part. Starting to feel tired again but I don't know if it's just for lack of rest or pregnancy related
What are you craving? Ice cream and donuts. All things bad for me!
What is grossing you out? Nothing
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? MIL brought two and a half garbage bags full of onesies, sleepers and outfits that she bought at a yard sale. I sorted through them and found some cute ones that were in good condition.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? My appt last week got rescheduled for March 24. I'm a little nervous and angry that I will have not had an appt for about 6 weeks at that point. My last appt was Feb. 12.

What is grossing you out? Not much - but nothing sounds particularly appetizing either.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? All of the items from our registry completion came in. My to-do list is DONE, which is a little scary. The only thing left is "have baby..."

Already Mommies:
LOs Age(s): 4 years old
Best part of your week? She slept for 11 hours last night. She fell asleep at 7 on the ride home, slept through the night until the dog and I woke her up at 6:10 to get ready for school. It's been a long time since she has done that.
Worst part of your week? I'm hoping that amount of sleep really helped her because she has been such a grumpy kid all week. Cried over everything, even the slightest raised voice would get her to cry. It was a very trying week.
Milestones? She is really getting better at recognizing numbers to actually counting them. Sometimes I am surprised at what she's learning.
When is your EDD? May 28th
How are you feeling? tired
What are you craving? nothing really. i'm feeling full in general. could be the baby taking up all that room in my belly:)

DS delivered naturally at 41w6d on 4/18/14
LOs Age(s): 6 months
Best part of your week? She officially started saying daddy. Gah I lost that battle. Lol.
Worst part of your week? We had a rough 2 days because of shots and her teeth pushing through but now it's all good. I'm also having a rough time, AF has been here for a month and I'm having crazy bloating in the evenings so I have a check up tomorrow. I know something is not right.
Milestones? The crawling has begun! She rolls side to belly to side and reaches objects. It's so cute!
PIP those kiddos!
LO's age-Only 10 days until she is 2!
Best part of week-Grandpa painted Ava Nichol a helmet and she actually is wearing it and loves it. This is huge because just a couple months ago she was terrified of helmets.
Worst part of week-Ava Nichol dumps her cups out all the time. Whether it is a sippy cup, straw cup, regular cup, whatever. I don't get mad I just take the cup away, tell her no no and have her get a rag to clean it up. DH on the other hand is completely fed up and wants to take her cups away all together and only have her drink in her high chair. She just screams if you put her in her high chair when it isn't for a meal. DH and I compromised and he just held her cup and when she wanted a drink she had to ask. This is our first real discipline.
Milestones-She can jump! She is so proud of herself for actually being able to jump
Here she is in her purple helmet! Now she can ride her little electric quad outside.

B Born 6.27.13
When is your EDD? 10/14
How are you feeling? Still pretty good! Had a couple of days last week where I was kind of nauseous but it felt more like I was uncomfortably full from eating too much food. Other than that, mostly tired.
What are you craving? Nothing in particular.
What is grossing you out? Still the thought of or sight of grease. I can eat greasy food, just can't see it.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Nope but been offered a dresser/changing table from my cousin.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? TOMORROW! First u/s!
Have you / will you found out the sex? We will. It's so funny to me how many people think we already might know this. We've had lots of people ask if we know the sex yet.
Any names picked out? Still just tossing around ideas.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Nothing to see here.
my read shelf:
Best part of week: B had a dr appt and he gained weight and is ear infection free for the first time since January. And we played at the park for the first time and we went to the zoo.
Worst part of week: things with DC haven't been great.
Milestones: he fed himself butternut squash ravioli. He's been eating puffs and Cheerios on his own for a while but he spits out most real food that isn't purée but he gobbled this down.
I might have gone a but crazy on the pip, lol.
B Born 6.27.13
When is your EDD? 8/3
How are you feeling? Pretty good overall. She was really quiet this weekend, I was starving, and all I wanted to do was nap... and today my belly feels HUGE. All things pointing to more growth, especially with how strong she's getting! Feels like she's going to burst out of my belly button with some of these kicks. I also had some hip pain last night which was new.
What are you craving? Uh, the exact same things as @PandPMeant2B! I have to stop myself from buying ALL the jelly beans. Dried fruit is my consolation prize. And sugar calls my name... it's my main weight gain vice so I really need to watch how much I eat :S
What is grossing you out? Nothing lately, even onions and garlic are okay now
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Nope
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Just had my monthly appt last Thursday, so next one is April (7th I think?)
Have you / will you found out the sex? It's a GIRL!
Any names picked out? We have a first name, but are still tossing around MNs
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Still a pile of clothes and things on the guest bed... but this weekend I opened the closet to visualize a plan of action, so that's something. I have some containers of crafting supplies I need to consolidate that I'm not looking forward to...

LOs Age(s): Zack - 8 mo Delilah - 3 yrs
Best part of your week? We had a nice trip out to the zoo
Worst part of your week? I think zack is teething. He's been a bit crankier than normal and has been rough while nursing. My boobs do not appreciate it.
Milestones? Zack has started giving kisses (more just pressing his open mouth against your cheek when you say kisses) and high fiving. Definitely getting more interactive.
PIP those kiddos!
Zack trying to get into trouble and Delilah at the zoo acting silly as usual. I also included one of her holding a box that Amazon felt necessary to label not only once, but twice as heavy lift because I thought it was funny. She must have super strength.

LOs Age(s): 7w4d
Best part of your week? Colin STTN 2 times this week! It was AWESOME!
Worst part of your week? I had a complex partial seizure yesterday (first one in 21 years) and had to go to the ER. Thankfully, I wasn't holding Colin and it lasted less than 5 minutes. Thy are upping my meds, but don't want me holding Colin for 2 weeks (DH said I can hold him if I'm sitting) or to drive for a month. I'm pretty upset.
Milestones? Colin has started reaching out when he plays with his mat. ...and I guess you can count Dave seeing me have a seizure? As morbid as that is. We've now been through EVERYTHING together.
PIP those kiddos! His "I STTN" picture
How many weeks are you? 13 weeks
When is your EDD? Sept 22nd
How are you feeling? Great! I've really felt pretty fantastic this whole pregnancy. Definitely one of the lucky ones.
What are you craving? Little Debbies....
What is grossing you out? Nothing
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? I bought some storage bins from Thirty-One for the nursery
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? My next appointment is on Wednesday. I cannot wait! Hoping the hear the heartbeat again (saw it at 6w, 7w, heard it at 10w). Will be announcing on FB if everyhing goes well.
Have you / will you found out the sex? We will find out as soon as we can.
Any names picked out? I'm really liking Audrey Catherine for a girl and Pearce Michael for a boy...we'll see if that changes though.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? No nursery updates
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? I can't wait to tell my students (3rd Grade) when we get back from spring break. I'm definitely starting to show and don't think I could hide it from them much longer. At the same time...I'm tempted not to say anything and see how long it takes them to notice!
How many weeks are you? 15w5d
When is your EDD? September 3
How are you feeling? Tired the last couple of days, but I think it's because I WAY overdid it cleaning and organizing over the weekend. My very lower back/tailbone region killed by late Saturday afternoon with everything I'd been doing around the house. How is it far enough along for that to be happening already?!
What are you craving? Nada mucho
What is grossing you out? Nothing.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? My friend brought over a box of bottles and baby food storage containers Friday night. Score! She also gave me her pump!! (I haven't even looked to see what kind it is yet so I can figure out what replacement parts I need...what pieces are you supposed to buy new if you get a used pump?). She was going to give me her old carrier too, but it's got zero hip support, so I told her to keep it.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? 2 appts next week.
Have you / will you found out the sex? Few more weeks and we'll finally get to find out!
Any names picked out? DH and I still can't agree on anything.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? ...
B/w 1/8: betas 17,345, progesterone 25.6
LOs Age(s): 4w1d
Best part of your week? We had my SILs over this weekend. It was the first time his one sis had met E and it was a good weekend. The other one, who is a mom, got up in the middle of the night with E so I could sleep. We also did some shopping and she cut my hair!
Worst part of your week? E has been fighting sleep lately. He's awake more and just doesn't know what to do with himself so he cries.
Milestones? Not sure really. He's a month old and awake more and focuses on us now.
Baby E born: 2/16/2014 at 12:56pm. 5lb 15oz
