Re: ~~Mommy & M2B Monday~~
When is your EDD? 11.27.14
How are you feeling? Headache today. Maybe the storm that is coming in?
What are you craving? Everything I can no longer have
What is grossing you out? Nothing!
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Just some small book shelves from Ikea. Trying to hold off until my baby shower.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? I have officially been diagnosed with GD. Womp Womp. My OB has added two new doctors to monitor me and LO. I see a new doc tomorrow for an ultrasound, which I'm assuming is to get a measurment on baby to find out if he is bigger than normal at this point and to learn about managing my GD. And next Friday I meet with a nutritionist to get me on a special diet. Anyone that has had GD and has any tips please let me know! I'm going to go crazy without sweets!!
Have you / will you found out the sex? Baby Boy!
Any names picked out? Yes
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Same as last week
Anything else you would like to add or PIP?
When is your EDD? 2/17/15
How are you feeling? Not too bad. Starting to get winded a lot easier than I used to, and get sore quicker.
What are you craving? Buffalo chicken and rootbeer.
What is grossing you out? The dog isn't smelling as bad now, but now I can't handle beef. Mostly in the ground or roast form. Also no pulled pork or ribs. It must be a texture thing.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? My mom bought me some neutral onsies and hats/mittens she found on clearance the other day. I also bought a couple of things from Goodwill during their 50% off clothing and linens sale.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Centering Pregnancy appointment next Tuesday, then anatomy scan on October 6th.
Have you / will you found out the sex? Nope
Any names picked out? Just the running list.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? H was off work on Friday and he got the walls and ceiling textured. Then Saturday he did the primer and painted the ceiling. Sunday we painted the walls!!! The color is Silent Night by Benjamin Moore. It's a grey with a blue tint to it, but my phone was having a hard time catching the colors last night.

When is your EDD? March 14th
How are you feeling? I have a lot more energy now which is nice. I still haven't been exercising because I just have no desire to do physical activity like that. My appetite is good and I'm not over eating during meals.
What are you craving? Cheese flavored crackers, sour cream chips, you know all the things you should eat in moderation or not at all.

Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? No
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Next appt in Oct 3 but that is for a check up on me and baby. Oct 23 is the gender reveal!! Getting closer!
Have you / will you found out the sex? Yesss
Any names picked out? I'm liking Rachel more and more. Still no good boy names.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Same old crap in the same old room. He has me frustrated beyond belief but I can't help him move anything so it stays until he realizes just how close we are getting to our due date. DH has no desire to do it yet because he is trying to sell firewood and thinks the baby room can wait.
TTC 19 months ~Started RE in March 2014~
DH was not ready for IUI so we waited
~Started acupuncture in May 2014~
~~BFP 7/6/14~~~EDD 3/14/15~~It's a girl!!~~
LOs Age(s): 18 weeks
Best part of your week? He was very smiley and laughing quite a bit this weekend. I just love it!
Worst part of your week? Still the 4 month sleep regression. And he didn't want to take naps over the weekend either.
Milestones? He has been rolling over a bit more from front to back (mostly because he hates being on his tummy and rolls out of it).
PIP those kiddos! Here he is chewing on his bib this morning.
~TTC Buddies with akcrrr and amandaf6383~
Natural Cycle (8/7/13)- BFP! Beta #1 (9/10/13): 509 Progesterone: 18.64 Beta #2 (9/12/13): 1118
LOs Age(s): Just shy of 5 months. WHAT?!
Best part of your week? I think we've finally come to the end of the 4 month sleep regression.
Worst part of your week? We're pretty sure we gave him his 3rd cold this weekend. He'd been getting better and better.......and then when we were away this weekend, the 2nd night in the hotel was apparently cooler than the night before and he woke up congested and coughing. Ugh.
Milestones? He rolled belly to back yesterday for the first time....and DH and I both missed it! Hahaha! He also went to his first wedding this weekend!
Pics are: Me and Donnie at the wedding this weekend. Donnie and DH at the beach yesterday. Donnie at daycare last week.

@nightmare_of_beauty and @sewilson33 EEK! So excited for your a/s, it's going to be here before you know it.
And seriously, babies stop growing! Although it sounds like we've had some fun milestones this week.
LOs age: 1
Best part of week: Ben loves it when we dance now
Worst part of week: nothing is standing out. He was a bit of a pill yesterday but nothing terrible.
Milestones: he's coloring more now, which is fun to see.
Here he is, a mess. He loves eating yogurt by himself, but he makes such a mess.
B Born 6.27.13

How are you feeling? Pregnancy wise, really good. Emotionally? Meh. I miss DH...
What are you craving? Chocolate! And I don't have enough in my house. Lol
What is grossing you out? Nothing really.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Nursery bedding, mobile, rug, curtains, some clothes (a lot of clothes), and a few other random little things from IKEA.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Monday 9/22, we will review a/s results and hopefully I'll finally know my real due date. I'm pretty sure he was wrong when he changed it at the first ultrasound, the dates don't make sense (first very faint BFP at 4dpo and then a strong BFP at 7dpo, yeah no). I'll find out. I'm pretty sure I am measuring closer to 20-21 weeks.
Have you / will you found out the sex? BOY!
Any names picked out? Thomas
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Crib is set up and complete with sheets, bed skirt and mobile. I have added curtains and a rug, and last night I moved the rocking chair in. Now I'm just waiting on my ILs to drop off a dresser they are giving us, which DH will sand and refinish when he gets back. I'll be putting the changing pad on that. Other than that I just have to do wall decorations, but I want to make sure all the furniture is in first.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP?
Already Mommies:
LOs Age(s): 11.5 months
Best part of your week? Adalyn started patting my back when she hugs me, it's just what I've needed lately. It's like she knows I need comfort.
Worst part of your week? It's officially been a week since DH left for his OOT business trip, and I miss him like crazy. I also had a memorial service for my grandpa over the weekend. It was really sad, but also a very beautiful service.

Milestones? His grandmother taught him he could pee standing up at the park, and then he proceeded to practice while still wearing his pants and underwear back at her house. Lesson learned grandma!

Any names picked out? We were 100% decided on a girl name, and I thought decided on a boy name (Alexander). Now that we're for sure having a boy though, DH has decided that's too "boring", although it will still be middle name. Trying to come to a compromise...

Anything else you would like to add or PIP? Nope.
@BreMae Sorry about the GD... Hope your doc/nutritionist are able to get you on a good diet plan and the rest of your pregnancy is smooth sailing. GL!
