Re: ~~Mommy & M2B Monday~~
How many weeks are you? 26w5d. Third tri is so close!
When is your EDD? June 25
How are you feeling? Mostly good. I find that I get tired easily if I don't get enough rest but other than that I'm feeling fine!
What are you craving? Nothing much
What is grossing you out? Nothing
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? My mom and I went shopping and she bought us a baby book and some cute outfits. I just bought a mattress pad for the crib mattress and I may buy some nursery decorations later. They are on sale through BRU and I talked myself out of buying them yesterday but I may go ahead and get them today. We haven't really bought much yet for baby so a few things won't hurt!
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments?
I have my rescheduled 24 week appt today. I haven't seen the doctor in 6 weeks so I hope everything is still going well!
Have you / will you found out the sex? Girl
Any names picked out? Carlee Ann
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? It's painted and the furniture is up. I may work on hanging the curtains tonight. The stuff I am going to buy from BRU is all for the nursery (decorations). I'm so anxious to start decorating!
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? Nope
QOTW: Do you have a labor buddy? If not, would you like one? I don't have one. I am not sure if I would like one or not. I would like to keep everyone here updated and a labor buddy seems like the easiest way.

How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? No nursery until we close on the new house; hopefully in the next few weeks!

QOTW: Do you have a labor buddy? If not, would you like one? I don't, but think it's a great idea to have one. Any volunteers? :-)

Have you / will you found out the sex? Yes! Just a few more weeks; I get to schedule the a/s after my appt on Thursday!!!
Any names picked out? Still a big fat nope, but DH is starting to argue to give the baby his name if it's a boy (he's a jr, I really don't freaking want a III).
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? We made progress toward picking out flooring for the 3rd bedroom where we're going to move the office, so that's sort of like progress, since until the office moves, we can't do anything nursery related!

my read shelf:
@ljraff29 - we were team green both times and absolutely loved it. I loved DH getting to tell me the sex in that moment. It was just very special for us. I also enjoyed not getting inundated with tons of pink or blue when people knew the sex and found I was less likely to receive a ton of clothes beforehand. Also I liked that I was able to reuse the majority of things from DD when DS was a newborn.
.
LOs Age(s): 7.5 months on Wednesday
Best part of your week? Seeing A interact with my parents this weekend.
Worst part of your week? Today's been kind of blah, but for no particular reason.

MAJOR score this weekend from my sister. She gave me two big bags of clothes, a tub, and a car seat blanket thing (looks like a sleeping bag kind of?). I can't wait to get started on the nursery now!

Next one monthly appt is April 7th
Have you / will you found out the sex?

How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes?
Just a (bigger) piles of clothes and things... I am finally really ready to get going!
Anything else you would like to add or PIP?
We shared that we're having a girl on FB yesterday... Eli helped
QOTW: Do you have a labor buddy? If not, would you like one?
I don't, but I'd like one if anyone is willing! Too bad we can't be each other's, @ljraff29!
