Already Mommies:
LOs Age(s): 10.5 months
Best part of your week? DH stayed home this past week, so we mostly had a staycation and enjoyed some family time, but we also went on a mini vacation to Tahoe, which was so much fun. The weather was perfect there.
Worst part of your week? Our dog was bitten by something (probably a spider) and started having an allergic reaction. Thankfully I had some prednisone leftover from the last time he had an allergic reaction to give him as temporary relief so his throat wouldn't close up (he was starting to act like he couldn't breath and his face was swollen). He only needed that one dose though and was fine after that.
Milestones? Her babbling "vocabulary" has really increased and she is really starting to figure things out. When she looks at her toys, you can tell she is trying to really understand them. It's really cute.
DE IVF ER - 12/2/2016 (17R/10F = 8 frosties); FET 1.0 (1/27/2017) - BFP 6dp5dt (EDD 10/16/2017)
For Mommies-to-be:
How many weeks are you? 37w5d
When is your EDD? Sept 3
How are you feeling? Fine! Just still exhausted here and there throughout the day.
What are you craving? Salt, haha. I think I loaded my corn on the cob Sunday night.
What is grossing you out? Nothing
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Yes, but I can't remember what! Haha. It was like Christmas last Thursday and Friday with all the boxes being delivered of stuff we'd ordered since we're done with baby showers now. Crib sheets, the changing pad, a couple of little stroller toys, DH's "manly" diaper backpack, a bunch of prefold diapers and a couple of all-in-one diapers, shelves for the nursery, etc.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Weekly appt on Thursday, not that they check much beyond my weight, BP, and baby's hb. I need to remember to ask about using the jacuzzi at my hospital, laboring in the shower, and delayed cord clamping.
Have you / will you found out the sex? Girl
Any names picked out? Haven't changed our minds yet; we'll see if it's still the same once she's actually here.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? I got the changing table into the nursery and sprayed the drawer pulls, so it's all done and full of diapers! Also hung the curtains, but I don't have a picture of that.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? We had our hospital tour on Saturday. I LOVE my hospital. Lots of supportive options for med-free birthing (jacuzzi for relieving pain, though no tub deliveries, birthing bar to use on the bed if desired), but great care on hand should meds/intervention be wanted or needed. They also automatically do skin-to-skin for 2 hours after birth. I'm excited about delivering there as of right now!

Have you / will you found out the sex? no
Any names picked out? yesw
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? FINALLY cleaned it out....just in time for the shower to fill it...but DH hasn't had a chance to paint it so tons of stuff from the shower just got shoved in the office. He'll probably paint tomorrow or Thursday, then I can spend my last two days of summer vacation putting the room together!!!
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? we had our maternity photos Friday, I'll share in an AW post when we get them! AND it was my birthday yesterday! 29!!! DH took me to hibachi, mini golf, and ice cream.
Today I went to lunch with my mom, and DH's mom and step dad...I LOVE attention and my mom made sure to tell them 50 times it was my BDay...and the server forgot. (it's a place where they sing to you etc. I know most adults hate this...I love it and have NEVER had it happen...so I was looking forward to it)...so they all had to go back to work, my mom tracked down the waitress TWICE just to get the bill...then they come out with a melty ice cream Kahlua cake in a to-go box (great...caffine and alcohol...haha DH will like it...I hate coffee/Kahlua anyway, now I sound like a brat, but I just want to vent. sorry this just got so stream of consciousness.) They then spend 5 min apologizing for forgetting and not singing. In that time they could have just done the whole singing thing! Then...I cried. I couldn't help it! I know I'm not five but the sad to go container and everyone was late back to work b/c of me, then my mom felt bad b/c she knew I really wanted them to sing, and we went there specifically because of this...it was a disaster....Thanks for reading if you got this far.
