Best part of your week? Trailer camping this weekend and teaching him to swim unassisted underwater. I have a little fish which makes this big fish so happy! It must be the pisces in us
Worst part of your week? When I lost my sh*t yesterday on him for intentionally being naughty during dinner. Not a great end to a really great weekend, and not the highlight of my parenting career.

How are you feeling? A tad bit less nausea, but exhaustion has replaced it. Saturday I slept for at least 15 out of the 24 hours in the day, and still felt tired.
What are you craving? Not much really. Although I could eat cream cheese by the brick right now.
What is grossing you out? Food with complex flavors or spicy.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? The Target near our OB's office is remodeling. So they have a lot of stuff on clearance, and I bought a 2 pack of neutral newborn pants after the ultrasound. Other than that I still haven't really bought much.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Had an ultrasound last Wednesday, and next Wednesday is the appointment with the midwife.
Have you / will you found out the sex? Well we were on board for not finding out. Until H saw baby and the heartbeat at the ultrasound last week. Now he's saying he isn't sure he wants to wait.
Any names picked out? Nope. We added Patrick to the running list of boy names though. There are officially 3 boy names on the list, but still only 1 girl name.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? It is all cleared out. Marked out where we want the outlets installed, and am hoping to get the walls wiped down this weekend.

How many weeks are you? 32w5d
When is your EDD? September 3
How are you feeling? Mostly good, though anything physical is getting more difficult/more tiring. I can't be at that point already!
What are you craving? I mostly want cold items...I don't love the idea of any sort of hot meals. But that could easily be because it's the middle of summer! :P
What is grossing you out? Nothing in particular.

Anything else you would like to add or PIP? I picked up a yard sale dresser a few weeks ago to use for a changing table/diaper storage. I spent all afternoon at my dad's yesterday painting it! I'm so excited. I just need to decide how I want to spray paint the metal drawer pulls and paint the mirror (which I forgot about while I was working) and it'll be finished!

Already Mommies:
LOs Age(s): 9 months
Best part of your week? DH and I getting some us time at a wedding this past weekend. It was fun.
Worst part of your week? Finding out when I got back to pick up Adalyn from the ILs house after the wedding that she cried for at least 30 minutes to an hour after I left, then she clung to MIL and wouldn't play with her toys or let anyone else hold her (they live on the same property as DHs grandparents and aunt/uncle/cousins), and when it was time for her to go to bed she cried and screamed for another 30 minutes to an hour before she passed out. And she has been super clingy ever since then.
Milestones? She is thisclose to taking steps. She's tried but fell both times. So close! DH is getting so anxious, he wants her to walk so bad and he wants to be there to see it. It's so sweet.
PIP those kiddos!

How many weeks are you? 4w2d
When is your EDD? Based on LMP, 03/21/15.
How are you feeling? Pukey most of the time, hungry a lot, and so tired. Not sure if the fatigue is from moving/puppy or from baby.
What are you craving? Not much at all. Occasionally chocolate which I normally could take or leave but nothing that I have to have.
What is grossing you out? Almost everything. Strong smells make me gag and our bathrooms at work smell like farm animals...it's so disgusting.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Nope - unless a house counts?
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? First appointment is July 28th. Bloodwork, urine test, pelvic exam, and ultrasounds. Excited is an understatement.
Have you / will you found out the sex? Yes - Type A to a t over here so there is no question on this. I must plan.
Any names picked out? We have a girl name but I'm kind of reserved on whether we should use it since we had it picked for our first baby...Thoughts on this??
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? The room that will be the nursery is filled with our furniture since it has hardwoods and the carpets are getting cleaned tomorrow in all of the other rooms.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? Just very happy to be back. I repeat from my Intro post - anyone have any duct tape or super glue I can borrow until March??
Also I'm so excited for all the new m2bs!!! Congrats again ladies!
