Re: ~*Mommy & M2B Monday *~
How many weeks are you? 20w5d
When is your EDD? Sept 3
How are you feeling? Great! Starting to feel wiggles every day. Even DH got to feel a couple of little pokes late last week!
What are you craving? Nothing out of the ordinary. All my fave foods are always good!
What is grossing you out? Nothing specific. If I didn't like it before, I still don't like it, but nothing's making me want to puke.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? I ordered a couple of things on Saturday, including a Christmas dress!! I couldn't help myself.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Nothing until mid May.
Have you / will you found out the sex? Found out last week. It's a GIRL!!!!
Any names picked out? We've started compiling a list, but we're nowhere near settled on anything.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Someday I'll have an update for this, haha.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? My sister had her a/s on Friday. She and BIL already have 2 girls (one is BIL's from a previous marriage). They're getting their BOY this time!! I'm so stoked for them. And also for me, because it means I get ALL the adorable clothes my niece wore!!
B/w 1/8: betas 17,345, progesterone 25.6
LOs Age(s): Delilah - 3 yrs, Zack - 9 mo
Best part of your week? Spending Easter with the family and having H back from Japan
Worst part of your week? Whiny children
Milestones? Zack's becoming more of a walker. He likes randomly letting go, taking a few steps, and faceplanting. Looks painful, but doesn't seem to phase him. He always has the biggest, proudest smile after.
PIP those kiddos!
From Easter:
.
Best part of your week? Celebrating K's first Easter (and it's her last "first" holiday)
Worst part of your week? K has something going on with her. She was diagnosed with an ear infection a week and a half ago, did the medicine, but now that she's done she's got puffy eyes, runny nose, cough, etc. Thankfully we have a follow up Dr. appt this afternoon and hoping we can stop this!
Milestones? A LOT of free standing! She looks like she wants to take a step but just not sure how to yet! It's coming and this momma's scared!
LOs Age(s):
7 months
Best part of your week?
Seeing DD really starting to crawl. It's so cute and she's really getting the hang of it.
Worst part of your week?
I took DD to the doctor because she does this shaking thing with her hands, like if she's really excited, but she doesn't stop doing it even if you grab her. Now we are going to do an EEG to see if they spot anything wrong.
And, I've had the worst headache since yesterday. It doesn't want to go away with anything and I've been throwing up too.
Milestones?
Just crawling
PIP those kiddos!
Here she is at my mom's yesterday.
When is your EDD? 8/3/14
How are you feeling? Good. It was a busy weekend so I was tired, but can't complain otherwise.
What are you craving? Yogurt and the occasional milkshake (although I try to indulge wisely)
What is grossing you out? Nothing
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? We got onesies from my grandma and aunts yesterday. We're still team green to everyone, so it's all neutral.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Monthly today.
Have you / will you found out the sex? It's a boy, but still a secret to everyone.
Any names picked out? Either Johnathan Emanuel or Alexander John. I think we might have to randomly choose when the baby is born.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Good! We have flooring
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? My mom is re-finishing a bassinet that has been passed down on my dad's side (my brother sister, and I slept in it and all of my cousins, possibly even my dad?). She was going to keep it a secret and surprise me, but showed it to me when I was there yesterday. Can't wait to see how it turns out
LOs Age(s): 3 days
Best part of your week? Getting to meet him!
Worst part of your week? Last night (first night home) was rough
Milestones? Birth!
PIP those kiddos!
About 10 minutes ago right after he ate.

Lucy- 23 months tomorrow, Norah- 9 weeks
Best part of your week?
I'm just glad both girls slept well while we were out of town.
Worst part of your week?
Thursday Norah had a lot of drainage and I ended up going through 4 shirts and getting nothing done. Also, dealing with the IL's is just irritating, but could be worse.
Milestones? Norah's first Easter and she's becoming more social. Lucy is really starting to pick up new words quickly. Time to watch our language.
How many weeks are you? 28w 4d
When is your EDD? July 10
How are you feeling? Emotional and tired. LO is moving like crazy and it's making me feel nauseous.
What are you craving? Junk
What is grossing you out? Nothing
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? One of my coworkers bought her a really cute outfit. It's marked newborn but looks SO tiny! I'm not sure the bottoms will fit over a diaper! I'll PIP below...
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Glucose test on Thursday.
Have you / will you found out the sex? Girl!
Any names picked out? Delilah Rose

Best part of your week? Seeing A interact with everyone at Easter
Worst part of your week? Having to work as A gets older is really proving to be struggle since I would so much rather be with her.
Milestones? Nothing different lately.
I always have PIP fails (sideways, doesn't post, etc.), so no pics from me
Team Green to Team Pink! Baby A born
Here comes 2u2! Team Green to Team Blue! Baby L born
When is your EDD? 10/14
How are you feeling? Great!
What are you craving? I needed pie in a bad way over the weekend. Got apple and cherry on Saturday night so all is well. Now it's just the normal Mexican food that is pretty much a constant state of being for me.
What is grossing you out? Nothing in particular
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? When we were at my parents' house yesterday they gave us a giant stuffed Feivel doll that plays cassette tapes. They also gave us a bunch of kids books with the accompanying cassette tapes to play in the doll. It was as thoughtful as it was random because Feivel was my favorite as a kid. DH and I were cracking up though because our kid will be the only one born in this decade that has cassette tapes. :P
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Not for awhile. Just had our monthly appt on Friday. Next regular appt is May 13.
Have you / will you found out the sex? May 23! It's getting harder and harder to wait as so many ladies on my BMB are finding out early by going to boutique places.
Any names picked out? Nope. At this point we'll probably just wait until after the A/S so we only have to agree on one.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? We started clearing out the basement area that will be the new office. Still lots to be done, but there was progress made.
