How are you feeling?
Not bad.
What are you craving?
Cheese.
What is grossing you out?
The dog..... it's never ending. She just smells.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately?
My mom and I went through her cedar chest full of clothes that my brother and I wore. Including our baptism outfits.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments?
Centering pregnancy appointment tomorrow afternoon. Also going to do GD test then too.
Have you / will you found out the sex?
For having 3 opportunities to find out, we've still kept strong on keeping it a surprise. As much as I've been wanting to cave.
Any names picked out?
This is a comical topic in our house. I might as well say that we have agreed on a boy name, Tanner James, even though Grant is still on the list but with no middle name.
Girl options are still a long list and I don't feel in love with any of them.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes?
Anything else you would like to add or PIP?
Baby and I got some extra monitoring on Friday night. Unfortunately we got into a car accident. Both myself and the guy who hit me were fine, but the police department requires that any pregnant woman goes to the ER to get checked out when involved in any car accident. My blood pressure was through the roof (rightfully so) and baby's heart rate was concerningly high, but the placenta had not detached anywhere and that's what they were worried about. Thankfully after an hour of monitoring, we both calmed down and were able to be released.

That would have scared me too. Being in a car accident is scary on its own but being in a car accident while pregnant or while having your kids in the car, is a whole different story.
Scary Brij! Glad you are both ok!!
How many weeks are you? 37w4d
When is your EDD? Thanksgiving Day!

Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? I bought some Christmas onesies at Target this weekend. I couldn't resist.

How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Done!
Anything else you would like to add or PIP?

What are you craving? Nothing really, but I just devoured a bunch of chips and salsa.
What is grossing you out? Vegetables
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? My mom bought two onesies on clearance this weekened. My former pastor offered us his glider for free, so we have that resting in our loft area now.

How are you feeling? Can't breathe. Haha. I know little man isn't up in my lungs just yet but he definitely is crowding my lungs somehow. On a positive AW note - it's been 6 consecutive days without a Zofran. That's 10 days total since I was prescribed it at week 8. Woohoo!

How many weeks are you? 15w1d
When is your EDD? 05/04/15
How are you feeling? Pretty good. I've been cramping a lot more lately and I had some light bleeding after ST last week, so I've been a little concerned about that.
What are you craving? Nothing at the moment.
What is grossing you out? Any strong smell. It's just too much to handle.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Nope.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Monthly appt tomorrow morning. I have no idea what they will be doing.

I'll definitely be asking my doctor about all of that.
Have you / will you found out the sex? Yes, we will. A/S scheduled on 12/2 and having a small gender reveal party on 12/3.
Any names picked out? Girl - Aria Isabella, Boy - Grayson Alexander
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Still just pinning away.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? NBR, we are getting really close to submitting all our house paperwork to the bank for approval! Our designer said he'll have our floor plan and site plan to us by tomorrow, we're meeting with a pool company on Thursday and we'll be submitting it all by the 1st. If all goes well, we should begin construction by February at the latest. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!!

Currently on Metformin and Synthroid
EDD: 6.15.15
LOs Age(s): 18 weeks
Best part of your week? Being discharged from the hospital.
Worst part of your week? Going to the ER on Saturday night because D's temp, after having a mild fever for a few days and then jumping to 104, plummeted to 94. Long story short, she was diagnosed with a UTI and we stayed at the hospital until Monday. She's getting better, but I could definitely go through the rest of my life without ever having to experience that again!
Milestones? She's sitting up longer on her own and giggling lots.
