Re: ~*Mommy & M2B Monday *~
How many weeks are you? 27w5d
When is your EDD? September 3
How are you feeling? Mostly fine, I think. Getting some tailbone pain here and there.
What are you craving? Nothing
What is grossing you out? Nothing
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Nope.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Monthly check-up is tomorrow.
Have you / will you found out the sex? Girl!
Any names picked out? Still haven't narrowed down the list.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Still full of crap that needs to come out before we can start working on it.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? I had a shitty weekend and everything put me in a bad mood. Pretty sure the wacky hormones didn't help that at all.
Also, I got a notification that I had new info in my electronic health record (from my b/w last week). So I went to check it out. And my glucose results weren't even there!! That's the only thing I wanted to know about! So annoying!
B/w 1/8: betas 17,345, progesterone 25.6
How many weeks are you? 37+5. Holy crap.
When is your EDD? June 25
How are you feeling? Pretty good! Relieved school is over tomorrow at 11 AM!
What are you craving? Mcdonalds. I'm going there for lunch.
What is grossing you out? I was having some severe reflux yesterday after eating leftover Pizza Hut. Yuck!
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Our Boba came last week!
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Tomorrow at 3:15. I'm hoping they will check me internally to see if there is any progress but I doubt that there has been any.
Have you / will you found out the sex? Girl!
Any names picked out? Carlee Ann
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Done! I am finally going to break down and take apart the diaper cake my mom made for me. It was so pretty I didn't want to take it apart but things keep falling off.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? DH is convinced that I'm going to go into labor earlier than the DD. I am still saying I'm going to be late if I even go into labor myself at all. I feel like I haven't had any contractions yet at all unless I've been having BH and just not realizing it.

my read shelf:
How many weeks are you? 35+4
When is your EDD? July 10
How are you feeling? Really uncomfortable and tired. I was up every two hours last night because no mater how I lay something bothers me. I'm most comfortable laying on my side, but then my hips start to hurt after about an hour. If I'm sitting I have to be leaning back or I feel LO digging into my ribs. I feel like I can't get a good, deep breath anymore. And these BH are no joke! They're not really painful, but super uncomfortable. Do not like.
What are you craving? Peanut butter, ice cream sandwiches, some sort of iced coffee beverage, and now McDonald's, thanks to @Uptowngirl2009.
What is grossing you out? Nothing really.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Nope. But my last shower is Saturday, so I'm sure we'll get tons. And then it's a mad dash to fill in the blanks with whatever is missing before baby gets here!
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Regular appointment next Wednesday. I think that's when they'll test for strep B. Fun!
Have you / will you found out the sex? Girl!

Best part of your week? We went to the county fair yesterday and had so much fun. It was exhausting, but she was so good. She is my little social butterfly.
Worst part of your week? She had a doctor's appointment this morning (15 lbs, 25 inches!). She is doing well, but shots suck.
Milestones? She is trying so hard to crawl, but she's not quite there yet. Also, she discovered she LOVES applesauce.

My TTC Journey Blog
When is your EDD? August 3rd
How are you feeling? Still great! I overdid it at the showers this weekend, I think I might've pulled something in my hip. Either that or it's just loose ligaments making me sore. But other than that my energy level is still normal and I'm still sleeping at night. Very thankful for that
What are you craving? Soft serve ice cream? Not all the time, but when we pass a DQ thats ALL I can think about. I have indulged the craving, and I do not feel guilty about it.
What is grossing you out? Weird textures, especially meats. I had to give my chicken to DH at a BBQ this weekend because it was too "wiggly"...
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? We had my family's and the IL's showers this weekend. Mainly we just got a ton of clothes. Somehow after the first one we still didn't own a single diaper, bib, wipe, pacifier, or bottle! But people were very sweet and the outfits are adorable. The IL's shower was more on the baby-gear side, but still so. many. outfits. I'm actually glad I have one more shower now (3 is a ridiculous number!), hoping we can get a few more baby gear necessities
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Just a bi-weekly checkup tomorrow
Have you / will you found out the sex? My sweet baby girl!
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Now that we've had the two main showers, my goal for the week is to go nursery crazy! My sister made adorable banner bunting with the cutest choice of fabrics, so I'll use that as a color inspiration to get the ball rolling on everything else!
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? I sadly don't have pictures of the showers yet, so those will have to wait until later!

@Uptowngirl2009 I know I've said this before, but the first time I felt any contractions was approximately 7 hours before Ben came into this world. So, it can happen quickly!
B Born 6.27.13
Worst part of week: Ben is definitely understanding what we say and choosing to be defiant at times, which is not fun to deal with.
Milestones: we are officially bottle free!
Here's a photo from our shoot.
B Born 6.27.13
Best part of your week? Um... I'm not sure. Our days have been such mixes of good and blah that I'm not even sure I can remember.
Worst part of your week? Today has been rough.
Milestones? He totally recognizes me and DH now. MIL was holding him the other day and I walked over and just locked eyes with Donnie and his face lit up and he smiled. That was awesome.
Here's a cute one of him on DH's tractor yesterday and one of him hanging out on the couch this morning before bath time.

Best part of your week? We had dinner out with my dad on Sunday and W did great, as usual, at the restaurant, but this sweet old man came over and told us he and his wife had been admiring W and told us how sweet he was. It was adorable and just made me feel like I'm doing a good job at this mom thing.
Worst part of your week? Suuuuuper fussy and clingy thanks to teething and has been waking up 2+ times a night. Motrin helps some, but not enough.
Milestones? He's properly crawling about 1/2 this time, army crawling the other 1/2. He's started pulling himself up and loves climbing on things. He is also getting his second tooth.
PIP those kiddos!
Check out his chompers! Also, a pic from our outing on Sunday.
