For Mommies-to-be:

How many weeks are you? 31w5d

When is your EDD? September 3

How are you feeling? I think I'm starting to get BHs here and there. And I had what I think was sciatic nerve pain a lot over the weekend (not surprising considering the amount of work I did!). Other than those two things, still doing pretty darn good!

What are you craving? Nothing specific

What is grossing you out? Nothing specific

Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Nope

Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Check-up in 2 weeks

Have you / will you found out the sex? Girl!

Any names picked out? Yup!

How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? It's finally cleaned out!!!

DH got the flooring done in the spare room, so on Saturday MIL and I worked our butts off moving furniture out of the current office/nursery into the new office. Yesterday, I finished clearing out all the other crap (all the books off the shelves, knick knacks, stuff DH leaves in piles, whatever we've been storing in the closet), vacuumed the carpet (I emptied the canister THREE times, there was that much cat hair/dust from behind/under furniture), and scrubbed down all the walls/baseboards with a damp rag. I MIGHT be able to paint this weekend!!

Anything else you would like to add or PIP? The nursery in all its cleaned-out/blank slate glory! DH just needs to take down the current shelves and the white board.

islandmonkey8 · July 2014

How many weeks are you? 8 + 1

When is your EDD? 2-15-15

How are you feeling? Crappy, a lot. Tired, a lot. But it is all worth it. I just want to go to sleep now...

What are you craving? Right now, nothing.

What is grossing you out? Lots of things. I have an appetite for almost nothing. I tend to only want to eat plain things (cereal, eggs, potatoes, plain pasta with a little cheese...)

Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Nope. Probably going to go to BRU this week to see how well car seats fit in my car so we can decide what we're doing about getting DH a replacement for his parked Jeep.

Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? First OB appointment this Thursday! No idea if I'll be getting an US or not.

Have you / will you found out the sex? We will. DH was convinced last night when we wondered around Kohls baby section and he saw that there was practically NOTHING gender neutral to buy. He was like "We have to find out! With two, how are we supposed to dress them in the beginning if we don't know?!"

Any names picked out? We talk about names. But aren't really too serious about it. Probably will think about it more after we find out sexes.

How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? It's a disaster/storage area. We close the door when company is over.

Anything else you would like to add or PIP? I had some pink spotting this morning when I put in my progesterone. I'm trying not to worry. I'm hoping it's just from ST yesterday or cervical irritation from all the progesterone.

Already Mommies:

LOs Age(s): 6 months

Best part of your week? It was a pretty fun week, so it's hard to say. DH and I went out for a really nice dinner on my birthday, so maybe that... Or getting 6 month photos done of Rosie (I'm dying to see them!)

Worst part of your week? I skinned a 2" stretch of my shin with my razor. It grosses me out and now it's super itchy

Milestones? She cut two teeth and she slept in her own room for the first time

PIP those kiddos!

aggiebug · July 2014

For Mommies-to-be:

How many weeks are you? 8w5d

When is your EDD? Feb 2015

How are you feeling? Ugh. Morning sickness hit in full force this morning

What are you craving? Nothing

What is grossing you out? Very random things and it's very transient. What makes me nauseous now won't this evening

Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? 2 maternity sweaters since they were on great sale

Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? U/s on tues!

Have you / will you found out the sex? We will

Any names picked out? Nope

How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Not there yet. Did discuss things that need to be done in that room if that counts.

Anything else you would like to add or PIP?

How many weeks are you?
7w4d
When is your EDD?

2/19/14
How are you feeling?
A bit better this weekend/ so far this week. The nausea is subsided a bit, but I'm still exhausted and want to sleep every 3-4 hours.
What are you craving?
Bland things. Eggs, cheese, baked potato, pasta with just butter on it.
What is grossing you out?
Spicy stuff. :-( Mild salsa was too spicy yesterday and I couldn't eat it.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately?
My aunt was home last week and brought me 2 tubs full of maternity clothes. Along with a huge bag full of pregnancy/1st year books. Also received a box full of maternity clothes from @littlelady and the Belly Book from my BFF.
Still haven't bought anything for baby, and I'm holding out strong with that.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments?
Get to see it this Wednesday. Yay! Ultrasound time. :-) We're really excited and hopeful that this ultrasound will go much better than the last time, and we will see a perfectly healthy baby in there. I've had no signs to make me think otherwise, and that's making me hopeful.
Have you / will you found out the sex?
Nope. Finally have H 100% on board with having it be a surprise. He's excited about it now.
Any names picked out?
The top contender for girl is Lilly Ann. Boy names we have a few on the list, but nothing that really jumps out at me. We're hoping to go into the delivery room with 2 names for each sex.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes?
It's officially no longer a spare bedroom and is now ready for new electrical and to repair the walls. We marked out where we want outlets in the room, and hopefully that part will be done this weekend.

Anything else you would like to add or PIP?

Uptowngirl2009 · July 2014

Already Mommies:

LOs Age(s): 11 days

Best part of your week? I love when she is awake. It's so exciting to watch her facial expressions and see her eyes open!

Worst part of your week? Well, she has had times where she fights sleep. Also the whole not being able to breastfeed thing is still a bit upsetting. I'm pumping once a day just to stop leakage and I'm still only getting 1/2 oz combined. I'm probably going to stop pumping soon so whatever little bit is there will just dry up.

Milestones? Just being awake more than she was the first few days

PIP those kiddos! Here's a photo of the three new babies in DH's family. The baby on the right is 23 days older than Carlee and the baby in the middle is 13 days older than Carlee. Carlee is on the left.

Ugh sorry it is upside down....I don't know how to flip it around on here...here's another photo

sparklingdiamond · July 2014

Already Mommies:

LOs Age(s): 8 weeks, 3 days

Best part of your week? Having a three day weekend with him. And getting tons of smiles this morning. Plus when I talk to him, he makes noises back like he is talking to me.

Worst part of your week? Having to drop him off again at daycare :-(

Milestones? He is getting really strong with lifting his head and loves to look around when you have him over your shoulder.

PIP those kiddos!

How are you feeling?
Pretty good!

What are you craving?
Nothing really

Team Purple!

Any names picked out?

Still an empty room. My parents are going to get us our cribs, so until then it will likely remain empty.

Anything else you would like to add or PIP?
We went out twice this weekend, and both times I was assumed to be pg (not just a fan of the cheesecake). This was a first (and a second) haha.
Also- we finally moved in to the new house! I LOVE it!

Pic 1 is what I wake up to now, pic 2 is the pup getting settled in

jmw928 · July 2014

How many weeks are you?

7w4d

When is your EDD?

2-19-15

How are you feeling?

tired, nauseas- much more this week. I went for a long run Saturday morning and was useless the rest of the day. DH was wonderful though and really helped me out.

What are you craving?

nothing really. I find myself drawn to really bland stuff- pasta, kraft mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, Cheerios

What is grossing you out?

Today, the turkey chili I made last night. I couldn't even get near it when it was done.

Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately?

A few pregnancy books

Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments?

First OB appointment is 7/24. Not sure what they will do, but I'm hoping for an u/s.

Have you / will you found out the sex?

We will

Any names picked out?

We picked out a few favorites. Lilly is on the list...

How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes?

Hah

Anything else you would like to add or PIP?

I had an odd pain in my lower back on the right side and it's been a little sore. I will call my doctor today, just because it was a sharp pain initially and I don't know what, if anything it could be.

brij2006 · July 2014

@jmw928 Are you a runner too? This is crazy. Same EDD, same name picked out, same symptoms, and I went for an 8 mile long run on Saturday and was useless the rest of the day too.

lindsayandjamie · July 2014

For Mommies-to-be:

How many weeks are you? 17w6d

When is your EDD? Dec 9

How are you feeling? Good except Braxton Hicks started up already yesterday. Last time they came towards the end up second tri and by 33w I was on bedrest for pre-term labour. This time it seems so early but there is no mistaking them after having contractions every 5min for months with DS.

What are you craving? Nothing in particular

What is grossing you out? Nothing, I'm pretty stable right now.

Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? I bought a doppler that arrived last week. Otherwise, nothing yet.

Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Midwife appt last week resulted in being informed a home birth would not be a good option for me thanks to my f*ing molar preg history. My placenta needs to go to pathology right away so it makes it more difficult in a home birth setting. I am still going to be prepared for a homebirth just in case things progress super fast this time because my first birth was so quick - just in case.

Anatomy u/s booked for July 24!

Have you / will you found out the sex? Still being negotiated. Two weeks to work it out. I'm team green (although I feel like caving), DH is not.

Any names picked out? Not at all.

How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Nothing yet

Already Mommies:

LOs Age(s): 2yrs 4.5 months

Best part of your week? Potty training! He was diaperless/nude all afternoon Sat and most of Sunday and only went #1 in the potty - no accidents! #2 will be another story I'm sure.

Worst part of your week? Nothing, this week has been really good.

Milestones? See the potty training - so exciting!

mrsvedo · July 2014

How many weeks are you? 26w1d

When is your EDD? 10/12

How are you feeling? Good!

What are you craving? Nothing really

What is grossing you out? Nothing

Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Not this week

Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Regular appt this week

Have you / will you found out the sex? Boy!

Any names picked out? Rhett Harrison

How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Hoping to do more work in the basement this weekend so we can finally get the office moved down there.

Anything else you would like to add or PIP? Noticed last night right before bed that my ankles and right foot were swollen. They appear to be normal today but looks like the late pregnancy joys are beginning. :P Also as of this week we are in double digits! ::hyperventilates::

GoodWolf · July 2014

How many weeks are you? 36+1

When is your EDD? August 3rd

How are you feeling? Good! Having a lot of BH's especially when I walk a lot, bend over, and sneeze or cough.

What are you craving? Food is weird. Cereal is my go-to "meal" anymore.

What is grossing you out? Nothing grosses me out, but not much tastes good.

Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? We've got basically everything we need (and then some, probably). The birth kits are all assembled and we have an backpack packed for the hospital just in case.

Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Check-up today, home visit next week.

Have you / will you found out the sex? Girl!

Any names picked out? Getting really antsy to tell!

How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Finally got shelves so I could finish decorating. DH moved a shelf in the closet so it's actually functional and I got the clothes organized! Need more hangers though...

Anything else you would like to add or PIP? The labor limbo is a weird mind game. Not that I think I'm going into labor any time soon, but just that it *could* happen at any time - or not for another 8 weeks - is so hard to wrap my brain around.

smbenevides1989 · July 2014

For Mommies-to-be:

How many weeks are you? 29.6

When is your EDD? Sept 16

How are you feeling? Good for the most part.

What are you craving? seriously, weird things - dirt mostly. Don't ask me why, and I promise I won't try it.

What is grossing you out? nothing

Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? nope

Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Had an appointment today. Heartbeat was at 150. Measuring right on track. I also had my dTap today. Glucose came back fine. I have an ultrasound on Thursday to check if I still have placenta previa, then I start going to biweekly appointments. So the next appt is July 21.

Have you / will you found out the sex? Girl!

Any names picked out? Eliana Grace

How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Cute animals

Anything else you would like to add or PIP? nope

Already Mommies:

LOs Age(s): 4 years old

Best part of your week? Going on vacation this weekend and watching her hang out with her aunties and uncles (non related).

Worst part of your week? Because she didn't nap during the trip, it caused her to be a cranky child until I gave her something sweet to calm her mood.

Milestones? nope

PIP those kiddos!

DH and Lexi enjoying some New York pizza.

sgautschi · July 2014

For Mommies-to-be:

How many weeks are you? 9w4d

When is your EDD? 2/5/15

How are you feeling? Pretty good, much better this pregnancy so far than when I was pregnant with Adalyn.

What are you craving? Well I'm eating M&Ms and drinking orange soda...

What is grossing you out? Nothing in particular right now.

Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Not really for baby, but I got three winter maternity shirts at Kohl's on clearance for $17 total! This is awesome because I have basically no winter maternity clothes since I was mainly pregnant in the summer last time.

Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? OB appt 7/18 where we will hopefully finally hear LOs heartbeat! We didn't hear it at the u/s because their machine doesn't have sound.

Have you / will you found out the sex? We will, probably mid-september.

Any names picked out? Thomas or Elizabeth, undecided on middle names.

How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes?

Anything else you would like to add or PIP?

Already Mommies:

LOs Age(s): 9 months

Best part of your week? She is finally falling asleep without nursing at night!! Still in bed with us, but it's a start.

Worst part of your week? She has been fussy and I think it's because tooth#8 is on it's way...

Milestones? She is so close to taking steps/walking. She's got the standing up/squatting/turning while standing/picking things up and standing with them thing down, and she can walk using her push toys. So it's probably only a week or two until she moves past that and onto being fully mobile. Help!

PIP those kiddos!

PandPMeant2B · July 2014

Already Mommies: OMG so weird to be on this side!

LOs Age(s): 3 days

Best part of your week? Meeting my baby girl!

Worst part of your week? Nursing has been a bit of a struggle. And the emotional roller coaster is crazy!

Milestones? Having an outside baby!

PIP those kiddos! GPM, meet Delilah Rose, our little Yankee Doodle Diva!

skreedrake · July 2014

Already Mommies:

LOs Age(s): 7 months today!

Best part of your week? I had a great week, but I think the best was taking my nieces to Disneyland. The 10 year old had the biggest grin on her face all day. We had a great time. Also, we took Elle to Utah to see my family for the Fourth of July. She had NO issues with the loud noises and she did so well. She slept through most of the fireworks, but the finale woke her up.

Worst part of your week? Dropping Elle off at her first day of daycare this morning.

She didn't even look up when we said goodbye... 20 more minutes until I can go pick her up, though! Also, I broke my toe on Friday and then had to walk around two airports on Saturday. My toe is purple.

Milestones? She has two teeth coming in! She is getting very good at sitting up, too. Still no crawling (not even army crawling), but she is trying so hard.

PIP those kiddos! Napping on the fourth:

INSIDE THE BOX!!
I think that's called Pica smbenevides1989! I've never known anyone with it, but apparently can develop during pregnancy for some women. Don't forget to mention it to your doc

FutureMrsWright2012 · July 2014

Congrats again @PandPMeant2Be... She's adorable!!!! :x

For Mommies-to-be:

How many weeks are you? 6w3d

When is your EDD? Based on ER, it's 2/27/2015.

How are you feeling? Pretty good. Needing a 30-45 minute nap every afternoon the past couple of days. Boobs still hurt, but improving. Major bloating (although today seems to be better) and constipation, ugh.

What are you craving? Nothing really. I have liked a lot of salty stuff, but with all the bloating, I'm trying to cut back. I think that might be why I feel a little less bloated today.

What is grossing you out? This morning our air freshener ("Hawaiian Breeze") made me gag. I said something to DH about it and he got all pissy with me ("You don't like the way anything smells"). Whoa buddy, CTFO, didn't realize you were so sensitive about your air freshener!

Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Not for the baby, but last week I bought "What to Expect" for my iPad/Kindle app.

Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? First U/S is this Friday, and I'm super nervous! While I haven't had any bleeding or cramping (just a bit of cramping weeks 4-5), I'm also taking vaginal estrogen and progesterone still. I'm not sure if that would prevent us knowing ahead of time if there were any issues, but either way, I can't do anything different... just hoping for the best on Friday.

Have you / will you found out the sex? Yes, we will.

Any names picked out? A couple have been discussed, but nothing set in stone yet.

How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Ha!

Anything else you would like to add or PIP? Not today.

LuckyAngel07 · July 2014

FX for a great u/s on Friday @FutureMrsWright2012!

sparklingdiamond · July 2014

I will definitely mention it to her. I didn't realize that its kinda common. I only have that craving when I take my dog out. I think its more for the texture than anything else.

I will definitely mention it to her. I didn't realize that its kinda common. I only have that craving when I take my dog out. I think its more for the texture than anything else.

Apparently it can be caused by an iron deficiency and can present as a craving for dirt, chalk and other non-edible things. Some people do act on the craving because it becomes so strong, which is why I suggested mentioning it. At least if there is something that can be done to help the craving your dog walks will be more pleasant
