Re: ~*Mommy & M2B Monday*~
How many weeks are you? 36+4
When is your EDD? July 10
How are you feeling? Uncomfortable. My belly feels SO heavy. And for the past 3 days I've been getting nauseous about an hour after I eat. Normal or weird?
What are you craving? A bagel with lox spread. That's a new one as of this morning. All my other cravings are still the same; sushi, ice cream, and my mom's lemon squares.
What is grossing you out? Nothing really
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Yes! I had my shower hosted by MIL on Saturday. It was a lot of MIL's friends, most of whom I've never met. Baby girl got A LOT of clothes and some really nice things, but only a few small things off the registry, so DH and I will be putting a huge order in this week! Also, my mom bought the cutest little dress with the baby's name embroidered on it. It pretty much matches the nursery lol. DH and I decided it will be her coming home outfit.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Regular appt on Wednesday. I think that's when they'll test for strep B as well. Oh joy.
Have you / will you found out the sex? Girl!
Any names picked out? Delilah Rose
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? All done, except for the furniture! My dad put up the book shelves he made this weekend and they look awesome! All we need now is the crib and glider (and possibly a few shelves; haven't decided yet) and then it's all set!
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? My family started a baby pool this weekend for fun. FIL is "sure" LO will be born on 6/30... I think that's a little too early, but it beats 7/23, like DH guessed (He really wants the baby to be a leo instead of cancer). I really hope LO decides to make her appearance a little early, as opposed to 2 weeks late!
How many weeks are you? 38+5
When is your EDD? June 25
How are you feeling? Still feeling mostly good...I woke up Saturday morning and was just ready to be done with pregnancy. I had a really rough night of reflux and being up and down several times going to the bathroom. Thank goodness it's summer break now and I don't have much to do because if I actually had to go out and do things on a daily basis I wouldn't be feeling so well!
What are you craving? Nothing
What is grossing you out? When I have really bad reflux
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? No although some of DH's relatives said they have late shower gifts for me. They weren't able to come to the shower.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Tomorrow is my weekly check-up. I'm hoping for some progress when they check!
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 done.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? Not that I can think of at the moment

When is your EDD? February 19th according to FF
How are you feeling? Not bad. Definitely need to get better about eating more often, and my boobs are getting HUGE!!!! They're already a cup size bigger, and are very heavy.
What are you craving? Savory things. Eggs, cheese, meat, and broccoli.
What is grossing you out? Nothing grossing me out, but sweets don't sound too great.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Nope. Trying to hold out strong in that regard.
ETA: Forgot that MIL gave me a stack of Dr Seuss books after we told her. They were H's and BIL's growing up.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Had Beta's last week. Tuesday was 126 with progesterone at 24.9, and Thursday was 340. So doubled with flying colors. Now just impatiently waiting until July 9th for the ultrasound.
Have you / will you found out the sex? Haven't decided yet. H was pretty set on finding out last time, and he said right away that he wanted to find out this time too. Although we had some good discussions about it this weekend and he's partway convinced not to. Yay!
Any names picked out? Nope, but we keep adding and removing random ones from our running list.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Just a spare bedroom until next month. I'm in the process of selling a lot of things in it we no longer need and clearing it out. H is planning to get started on repairing the walls and running electrical in July.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP?

How many weeks are you? 28w5d
When is your EDD? Sept 3
How are you feeling? Pretty decent. Might be starting to feel a little bit of heartburn here and there, but never having experienced it before, I'm not 100% certain that's what it's been. I've got a small bottle of Tums on hand at home, though!
What are you craving? Nothing much
What is grossing you out? Nada
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? SM sent us 3 big gifts last week: the crib, the mattress, and the convertible car seat. I'm SO grateful, but she shipped them to our house, where we have ZERO storage and basically nowhere to shove this stuff yet, meanwhile she and my dad have a 3-car garage and an enormous basement. SMH. Whatever!!
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Next appt is July 1 or 2, I think. Then I go to appts every 2 weeks!!!
Have you / will you found out the sex? Girl!
Any names picked out? Yes...we might have decided on one!! Keeping it off the board until she makes her debut though.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Zero progress
Anything else you would like to add or PIP?
B/w 1/8: betas 17,345, progesterone 25.6
LOs Age(s): 5.5 months
Best part of your week? The weekend is always the best part. I love having time with the three of us
Worst part of your week? She has started to become a beast at night. Like seriously Jekyll and Hyde. She's so overtired, and nothing I try works. She basically screams from sundown until she passes out at 11.
Milestones? She's really rolling. She's started rolling consecutive times to move across the room
PIP those kiddos!

How are you feeling? Great!
What are you craving? Nothing
What is grossing you out? Nothing
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Our neighbors gave us a really cute sleeper set and toy.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Just had our monthly appt on Thursday and it went well. Baby kicked the doppler really hard and it was funny. Next one is July 9 and that will be my one hour glucose test too.
Have you / will you found out the sex? Boy!
Any names picked out? Not yet
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? I'm afraid that at this point I won't have anything to put here until August.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? We found a daycare on Friday! It's really nice, the staff are awesome, the program is solid, AND they have hourly spots for infants (good since we only need 10-15 hours of care each week max). The hourly rate is only $9, so we're really stoked the place is so good.
my read shelf:

How many weeks are you?
18 tomorrow
When is your EDD?
11/18
How are you feeling?
Overall pretty good. Have noticed my feet starting to swell a bit, and only wearing my wedding band. That's more precautionary though. I don't want to realize one day that I can't get my engagement ring off!
What are you craving?
Nothing really
What is grossing you out?
Again nothing really
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately?
My mom 'found herself' in the clearance section of BRU the other day, and picked up a double snap and go. For the most part we are waiting until we move.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments?
Had a monthly on Wednesday. The u/s tech said she could have spent hours playing around, and even offered to take a look at sexes. I was so good, and declined, since H wasn't there. We will have to wait for A/S on 6/27! Less than 2 weeks!
Have you / will you found out the sex?
We will, on 6/27, hopefully!
Any names picked out?
Nope.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes?
We met with budget blinds this weekend and picked out stuff for the whole house. So I guess that counts?
Anything else you would like to add or PIP?
Nope. But it's crazy to think I am so close to halfway!
After 2 years of TTC, lots of tests, and a Hysteroscopy/Laparoscopy to remove several polyps,
Clomid/IUI #1 3/14: cancelled due to surprise BFP 3/8/14.

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? 7 weeks
When is your EDD? January 30th according to FF, but honestly I think beginning of February is more accurate based on when I think I actually Od. I'll find out for sure Friday.
How are you feeling? Exhausted and I'm losing my appetite but at the same time am starving. It sucks. Good otherwise though.
What are you craving? Pop tarts and a deli sandwich.
What is grossing you out? Anything super filling (burgers, etc).
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? No, but probably will be soon since we just announced to parents and siblings!
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? This Friday!!!
Have you / will you found out the sex? We will
Any names picked out? Thomas or Elizabeth
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Still cleaning it out...slowly.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? We announced to my parents and ILs this past weekend and they were all very happy and surprised. We put Adalyn in a "Big Sister" shirt.
Already Mommies:
LOs Age(s): 8.5 months
Best part of your week? Morning cuddles
Worst part of your week? Worst blowout ever last night! My sister fed her almost the entire container of prunes when we were up there. I didn't realize she would eat so much so I didn't say anything. Yeah it was a mess...
Milestones? Standing alone! More than just a couple seconds, and she's so proud of herself.
PIP those kiddos!
When is your EDD? August 3rd
How are you feeling? Great!
What are you craving? Fresh fruits and veggies, water, and sweets!
What is grossing you out? Not much. Though some chicken I boiled last night was kind of grossing me out a little bit.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? We got some bigger (from 3 to 9+ month) clothes, a my breast friend pillow, a crib mattress, and pack-n-play all from my friend this weekend! And last week I got 8 glass bottles for $10 used in great condition. Pretty stoked about those. OH, and we ordered the stroller so that'll be getting here on Thursday probably
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Bi-weekly is next week. I was totally thinking this was my last one, but I have one more at 36 weeks. I can't count apparently :P
Have you / will you found out the sex? Girl!
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Made a ton of progress this weekend! The clothes are all in the dresser/hung/organized (need to get some closet organization going though, it's crammed onto one shelf and one rod right now), moved the dresser/changing table around to make room for the glider we'll hopefully be getting before she's here, hung up the bunting banner my sister made for the shower, and put away all the gear from the showers last weekend. It's feeling much more like a nursery!

How are you feeling? pretty good. I get a good case of the sleepies mid afternoon but other than that I am feeling great. Oh and freaking sore boobs, a bra hurts, but not as bad as going free.
What are you craving? No cravings, but just a general increase in hunger. I go from zero to starving in an instant.
What is grossing you out? Nothing so far

Best part of your week? Donnie's baptism yesterday!
Worst part of your week? He had his 2 month check up last Friday and his first set of shots. I cried right along with him.
Milestones? Baptism yesterday! One of our best days yet as a family. :-)
Here's a shot of the three of us after the baptism and one of Donnie in his cute little outfit at the party afterwards.

DS delivered naturally at 41w6d on 4/18/14
Also I thought it was pretty neat Zack was born July 16. Now our wedding anniversary is May 16, my birthday is jun 16, Zack's is jul 16, FIL is Aug 16, future SIL is Sept 16 and my parents anniversary is Nov 16. My brother has been dating a girl for two yrs now whose birthday is Feb 16. I told him it's a sign - haha.

LOs Age(s): Zack 11 mo, Delilah 3 yrs
Best part of your week? We went to a beer festival yesterday and had a good time. The kids enjoyed being outdoors and it wasn't too hot.
Worst part of your week? I got mastitis again this morning even though I'm on antibiotics still from the last bout.
Milestones? Zack is using sign language and trying to communicate more. He will (sometimes) bring you something when you ask him to. Delilah was moved up to the preschool class in daycare a few months ahead of schedule.
PIP those kiddos!
