Best part of your week? E went in for a weight check today since she has only gained 2 oz since being discharged. I'm BF and they were going to have me supplement after feedings, but after talking to a LC we decided against it at to reevaluate in a week. Well she gained 7 oz in a week! *Happy dance*

When is your EDD? March 21
How are you feeling? Wishing I could get past the nauseousness every morning and I've started to feel some stretching and pulling in my hips and pelvis but as cliche as it sounds, as long as it means a healthy baby, I'll take it.
What are you craving? Sonic and I have become best buddies for slushies. Otherwise the only one that's sticking is cheese.
What is grossing you out? Meats, and apparently baby doesn't like bagels anymore as shown by the awful events on the way to work Friday morning.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? I actually don't think we bought anything this past week.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Regular appt is the 22nd. Anatomy scan is the 27th.

Anything else you would like to add or PIP? Nothing other than I'm just feeling chubby (which I was to begin with) but it's making me uncomfortable that people are pointing out my belly. I've always been self conscious of my stomach. I want a cute preggo belly, not just looking like I ate too much, which is what it currently feels like. Hoping this yucky feeling passes quickly.
7 weeks
Best part of your week?
My sisters finally got to meet her! It was so fun! We also had a bunch of aunts, uncles, friends and my grandparents visit Saturday so they could meet her

She had a rooouuugh day last week full of inconsolable screaming. It's gotten better but she's in leap 2 and definitely showing it with some intense crying at random times.
Milestones?
STTN still, napping in the PNP, going down for naps drowsy but awake, and she's definitely finding her hands
PIP those kiddos!

When is your EDD? 2/13/15
How are you feeling? Ok. Round ligament pain is a beast right now. As is insomnia and indigestion but I am suspecting that is in large part due to stress from work.
What are you craving? Eh it varies a lot.
What is grossing you out? Beef was this weekend but that seems gone now
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? I bought some cute koala outfits off zulily this weekend.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? A/s this past week was great but she was shy and sleepy so they couldn't get a few measurements. Which means I get to see her again in 2 weeks.
Have you / will you found out the sex? It's a Girl.
Any names picked out? The list is down to 3
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? I painted the closet! Now I can get the closet system up which is huge. Then it's painting the rest of the room.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP?
This week has felt really lonely. My work is horrid. DH is so overwhelmed with work and school he doesn't have time to help and we are far away from family. We have lived here for almost 3 yrs now and this is the first time I truly wished someone lived closer.
