Having a Sunday morning chat with daddy

PIP those kiddos! Here he is sleeping this morning while I was getting dressed!

Have you / will you found out the sex? nope
Any names picked out? carl is still under heated debate.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? half a mess, half empty, yay!
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? So... DH was rushed to the hospital from work on Friday night, and was diagnosed with a kidney stone! (which all the nurses proceeded to tell us was the closest thing a man could come to feeling labor pains). Once I knew he would be ok, I had a hard time not laughing when I was holding his hand and the nurse was telling him to breathe through the pains. Then he'd move positions, I'd rub his back... it was a weird preview/role reversal of what's coming in October...
When is your EDD? 10/14
How are you feeling? Great!
What are you craving? Lots of sweets lately. Candy mostly. I bought a bag of fun size Nerds that has been the best thing ever.
What is grossing you out? Nothing
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Nope
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? A/S on Friday!
Have you / will you found out the sex? Yep! On Friday!
Any names picked out? This discussion will resume after the A/S.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? No progress
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? We started our registry on Saturday. Talk about overwhelming!
I think it was in the high chair aisle when DH goes, "OH! This one's only $100!" and then shook his head immediately and went, "Shit, I'm being corrupted already... I can't believe I just said only $100."
I got overwhelmed in the bottle aisle and had to walk away. I'll do that part online. I just couldn't handle all the different types and brands. I know babies can develop preferences anyway so I may just skip registering for them and just pick up a few different kinds and stock up after we figure out the best one.
I love the nursery set we picked out though and it was ADORABLE how into the travel systems DH got.
my read shelf:
How many weeks are you? 32w 4d
When is your EDD? July 10
How are you feeling? Exhausted! Doc told me Friday I'm slightly anemic, so I'm sure that has a lot to do with it (plus moving/painting/landscaping and all; who wouldn't be exhausted?). Also, I've had a few really bad bouts of heartburn. It kept me up from 3 - 8 AM Sunday morning. It was not fun. My belly is starting to feel really heavy when I get up too; first few steps I take are really uncomfortable. Man, I sound whiny but other than those few things I really feel great.
What are you craving? Chocolate milk, ice cream, pink lemonade, and my mom's lemon squares
What is grossing you out? Nothing really
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? We got a few more gifts from people who can't come to our shower on Saturday. Not sure if I mentioned the boppy already, but we also got a teething toy and a huge box of diapers.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Next regular appointment is June 6.
Have you / will you found out the sex? Girl
Any names picked out? Delilah Rose
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Making progress! I painted the trim this weekend so DH can poly the floors this week. Curtains arrived this week so we'll hang those once the floors are done and our wall decals should be here in a few days. My dad is currently building some bookshelves, which we'll probably get this weekend. Then we'll just have to wait to get some furniture.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? My shower is Saturday! I can't wait!!!
Milestones: is starting to act like an opinionated toddler a milestone? He also is starting to say words, which is exciting!
Best part of week: We had a really good Saturday together, just hanging out and having fun. He tried a lemon and loved it. He pitched a fit when it fell on the floor.
Worst part of week: Work. It's slow and I would rather be with my kid than inside 9 hours a day.
He was enamored by the baby in the mirror.

Natural Cycle (8/7/13)- BFP! Beta #1 (9/10/13): 509 Progesterone: 18.64 Beta #2 (9/12/13): 1118
How many weeks are you? 22w 6d
When is your EDD? Sept 16
How are you feeling? great, other than being a little tired, always hungry then full after, and me waking up just to turn at night - the normal stuff.
What are you craving? right now nothing since I'm full, but I've been craving apples and salty things.
What is grossing you out? Nothing right now.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? We went to a Carter's (that I never knew existed) while it was having a 60% off sale. Since Eliana is born in September, I really don't need any summer clothes, but I bought a bunch of winter-spring set clothes and dresses that she could wear in the winter. She's pretty much done with clothes until next year.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Had an u/s appointment this morning to see if we could see her right heart and get a profile pic of her (we couldn't see these at the last u/s). Baby girl is still doing well and looked beautiful. She moved around a lot. It looks like my placenta dropped since the last u/s so it's now considered a Marginal Previa. Most likely I will have to have another u/s in a few months to see if it moved. Next appointment is June 2 with the OB.
Have you / will you found out the sex? It's a Girl!
Any names picked out? Eliana Grace
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? So far we are just looking at cribs. I'm also thinking about how I'm going to move Lexi's room around to fit the crib and the rocking chair. Nothing will happen until August, but she will have a wall decorated in a Minnie Mouse Theme to keep up with Lexi's Disney room. She will also share Lexi's furniture and closet until we move out completely in a few years.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? Along with the baby clothes impromptu shopping trip, I bought myself a few maternity outfits and moved my closet and drawers around. I now know exactly what fits me now and until I give birth. I just need one more pair of shorts and I'm done.

Best part of your week? Lexi being really great and patient during the movie and while looking for her surprise gift for getting promoted.
