Any names picked out? Yup
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? We got the walls painted this weekend!! I just have one kind of crappy picture, but I'll definitely post another once the trim (in an off white) is done (which will likely start getting done this week/be done this weekend when my friends come back over to wrap things up).

LOs Age(s): 11 weeks, 3 day
Best part of your week? He is really starting to take an interest in things. I showed him a rattle and he looked at it and tried to grab at it. He also loves the elephant pattern on the boppy cover I have and tried to grab it too.
Worst part of your week? Sunday was horrible. For the past two nights he is up every two hours and he was so fussy yesterday and would just start screaming and be inconsolable.
Milestones? He is taking an interest in toys and things and he seems to have discovered his hands. They were constantly in his mouth yesterday.
PIP those kiddos! Here he is with the rattle and chewing on his hands.

When is your EDD? March 15
How are you feeling? I get waves of nausea every now and then, nothing too bad but I do just gag every now and then. Other than that I sleep like a rock from 9:30-7.
What are you craving? Nothing in particular.
What is grossing you out? Lots of things, chicken, eggs, certain smells.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Not this week
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? I get to see my peanut next Monday!! I had my nurse appt on Thursday and it was soooo useless. I was actually frustrated that they make you do that. My OB office does not draw blood to confirm pregnancy, also the blood draw you won't get results for 7 days but they won't discuss them until your 8 week appt. So I wasted 90 mins in that stupid office to give blood.
Have you / will you found out the sex? Yesss

I met up with 2 of my college roommates this weekend, and they gave me a basket of Baby goodies, along with a ton of stories & advice
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments?
My appointments on Friday went very well. My BP was back to normal, and the babies behaved at the growth scan. 1.5 lbs each, in the 61st percentile. Finally got the pics needed of B's heart, which look good. Phew. They measured 1 gram difference, so they are doing really well
Have you / will you found out the sex?
Team Purple!

I thought we had our girls name, but now H wants to rethink it.

@islandmonkey8 Its the 18th, so I will be 26 and a half. My mom is hosting it, and I asked for 2 things- to have it at my house so even if I ended up on bed rest I would be able to be there (and we wouldn't have to transport anything) and also to have it by 28w. I keep hearing about hitting a 'wall' at 30w, and I wanted to have as much done by then as possible.
2nd tri has been flying by!

Anything super sweet or chocolate. And usually anything after I eat it for 5 minutes.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately?
Nothing new baby but I did buy a new sports bra yesterday for me and my new knockers. I also forgot about this, but a while ago DH bought me a pregnancy journal. I've been pretty good about writing in it every night before bed.

Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Two bibs, one says "I love Daddy" and the other says "Daddy loves me".

Have you / will you found out the sex? Possibly next month.
Any names picked out? Thomas or Elizabeth
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? I think I finally picked out paint colors! I wanted a green, since it's pretty neutral. Tell me what you think (see below). I used Behr's color preview program. The bed is the same/very similar to the crib color.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP?
Already Mommies:

Milestones? Up to two steps!!
PIP those kiddos!
How many weeks are you? 9 weeks 3 days

Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Nope.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? First official OB appt. is 8/8. Today, I got to see the little olive on U/S where my friend works (peds ER nurse). She didn't really know how to use the machine (no sound, no zoom, etc.), but we definitely saw it moving. Think we say a HR of 168 on doppler, but was very brief. Now, just waiting until the 8th.
Have you / will you found out the sex? Yes.
Any names picked out? Alexander and Violet, for now.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Not.

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? Finally got the energy on Saturday to get things rolling. I took out all of her clothes, CDs, blankets, sheets, and covers to the bassinet, swing, high chair, etc. and started washing everything. I started feeling like crap, so I got back into it on Sunday. Lexi and Eliana will be sharing a room, so I washed her room top to bottom, moved furniture, and built the crib. All I have left to do is organize the closet, drawers, and armoire and put up decals and a name plate on E's side of the bed. I have a DH/DD free afternoon on Saturday and I am hoping to get fabric to make their bed skirts.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP?
See below for the room progress.
Already Mommies:
LOs Age(s): 4 years old.
Best part of your week? She helped out my parents in the garden this weekend while I took care of the room. She also let me take a nap when I wasn't feeling well on Saturday.
Worst part of your week? She took a random late nap on Sunday, and didn't get to bed until almost 11 Sunday night. I was so close to falling asleep when she woke me up, causing my stupid insomnia to start.
Milestones? Some of the things that come out of her mouth are priceless, in a good way.
PIP those kiddos!

Best part of your week? A feeling better and so she's much more like herself and full of smiles.
Worst part of your week? This work deadline might kill me.
Milestones? She's still being stubborn on the movement end of things, but I think that she'll be walking soon.
