Re: ~~mommy and m2b monday~~
When is your EDD? 2/17/14
How are you feeling? Okay. Getting very tired and winded quickly. Usually on the weekends I can go for about 6-8 hours of cleaning and doing things around the house. Yesterday I made it 3 hours then had to put my feet up. My feet and legs are soooo sore!
What are you craving? Not much. Just still occasionally root beer.
What is grossing you out? A lot of meat. Ground beef, roast, pulled pork, or anything similar. I'm thinking it's a texture thing, because it smells good.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Nope.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Centering pregnancy appointment next Tuesday, then ultrasound October 6th.
Have you / will you found out the sex? Nope
Any names picked out? Just a running list.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? H still needs to finish the drywall work on the walls in the closet. Then I can paint the closet. We also need to go find carpet, but that may not happen soon.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP?

How many weeks are you? 38w2d
When is your EDD? 10-4!
How are you feeling? great! except for some carpal tunnel...if that's my biggest problem I'll take it. (and maybe I should get off the computer? not likely though...)
What are you craving? not much. Haven't eaten a lot the last few days
What is grossing you out? nothing
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? TONS! finished our registry yesterday (none of our coupons ever came even after 2 calls for them to resend them 3weeks and 1 week ago...)
so BRU was excellent about it, they even threw in a 20% off one item (crib mattress!) and I signed up for the credit card to get the 15% off as well as my 10% registry discount.
... but target was a big PIA! luckily the store manager finally agreed to do a 15% off my entire purchase (so not just registry stuff) manually at check out...so I stocked up on paper towels and stuff too!
Total spent: $1022
After discounts total spent: $627
After gift cards, cash, and checks from baby showers total spent out of pocket: $280!!!
I'm kinda bummed though b/c the crib mattress (that says it is 27.5") is only 27" wide, and therefore is too narrow for our crib!!! (needs a 27.25"-28" mattress) Of course I did not measure it until it was unwrapped in our crib and looked small, so I did the two finger test (which it failed) and then measured it. So, DH gets to return it this week and I ordered our second choice one on amazon. Hopefully it is actually wide enough!!! This sucks b/c I would have used the 20% off to get our baby monitor cheaper!!! oh well.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Wednesday Weekly, will be my first check, we'll see!
Have you / will you found out the sex? no
Any names picked out? yes
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? NURSERY IS DONE!!! DH just has to hang curtains! (and I have to get the stupid crib mattress!!!) It's so cute, I'll add pics when they're up!
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? Nope. Happy Monday everyone, it's so crazy that we're this close to the finish line, and yet, I feel like I've been saying "2 weeks left" for years now...not 3 days.
How many weeks are you? 30w4d
When is your EDD? 11.27.14
How are you feeling? Good. Just a little tired
What are you craving? Sweets that I can't have.
What is grossing you out? Nothing!
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? MIL got us a hiking pack for baby that we will likely never use.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Meeting with the GD dietician on Friday. I have had 2 high numbers this week both after breakfast (which is apparently the hardest to control). I'm curious what they will say.
Have you / will you found out the sex? Baby Boy!
Any names picked out? Yes
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? No change until after my baby shower on Saturday!
Anything else you would like to add or PIP?
LOs Age(s): 19 weeks
Best part of your week? He has slept great some nights, so I am hoping the sleep regression will end soon. We also made a short outing to pick up a few things from the store and I was by myself with him and he did great.
Worst part of your week? He still had some nights where he just wouldn't sleep well. He also started crying when my mom came over and picked him up to hold him. :-( He was fine later, but he wasn't happy then and I think it made her kind of sad.
Milestones? He has rolled from front to back a few more times and we are working on developing his sitting up skills.
PIP those kiddos! Here he is hanging out in the Boppy and in his swing. He is almost too long for the swing!

PIP those kiddos!
Sorry they are sideways.
Best part of your week? Watching Kiera eat. BLW is so fun and she is just totally into food. I'm hoping Connor starts to like food more soon but Kiera is fun to feed now.
Worst part of your week? Connor still have bronchitis and putting him on the nebulizer just sucks.
Milestones? They can both sit up on their own for a few seconds if we help them get set up. Connor's head is so much bigger he goes down fast but Kiera can sit up for almost a minute!
