When is your EDD? 05/04/15
How are you feeling? I was feeling great until last night. I spent the majority of yesterday cleaning, doing laundry and organizing. My lower back is really hurting, but it was worse last night. H even had to help me get out of bed to go to the bathroom.
What are you craving? I was craving brownies last night and asked H to go to the store to get some. That's the first time I've asked him to make a store trip for cravings.
What is grossing you out? Nothing.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Nope.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Anxiously waiting for our AS on the 2nd!
Have you / will you found out the sex? Yes, we will.
Any names picked out? Grayson Alexander for a boy. We had Aria Isabella picked for a girl, but we've been thinking about Aria Penelope as another option.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Princess theme for a girl, vintage sports for a boy.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? Nope.

When is your EDD?

How are you feeling?
Not too shabby. Not as limber as I used to be, but loving it.
What are you craving?
Donuts, nacho cheese, and Dr Pepper
What is grossing you out?
The dog still smells, and I could leave meat.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately?
Got 2 huge bags of clothes from H's cousin and a glider. Also ordered a few things off Targets clearance.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments?
Passed the GD test last week, but my iron was low. So I'm on prescription prenatals and an iron supplement. However, received news back from high risk OB and my cervix is looking long and strong. So I was released to do some slight jogging and cleaning again, but still no lifting (they don't want me to strain).
Have you / will you found out the sex?
Negative.
Any names picked out?
Just the running list, but I mentally am prepared for Lily Ann for a girl and Tanner James for a boy. Those are the 2 on the list that we are liking the most, but still won't fully decide until it's born.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes?
All of the stuff is in it. Just need to figure out what to put on the walls and do some organizing.

Milestones? We started him on solids last week. He had been having rice cereal for a few weeks. So far he has tried sweet potatoes, pears, and peas. He really didn't like pears at first, but seemed to like the peas! He is also getting closer to sitting on his own and sat for a few sec unsupported.
PIP those kiddos! Here is a pic of him laughing at my brother and one of him all dressed up to go to the football game the other day.

No names.
No progress on soon to be nursery.
@JennaHack - Stinking adorable! I love the basket picture.
@brij2006 - I wish I had your dedication to running. I definitely stopped as soon as the stick dried.
@Sewilson33 - I feel ya on the body image thing. I've already started planning post-baby workouts. I know I should enjoy this time and be amazed at what my body is doing, don't get me wrong it is amazing, but I'm definitely a little too obsessed with getting the extra weight off afterwards.
@BreMae - Congrats on the awesome GD news! Can't believe you're so close to meeting your little man.
@aggiebug - If you don't mind sharing, what type of closet system did you use? We need to start looking for one for our nursery closet and I'm lost on where to start looking.
@abt8113 - I'm so sorry about your scare. I hope it clears up quickly and that your LO stays snuggled in tightly for another 32 cozy and warm cooking weeks.
@LuckyAngel07 - Welcome back!! Fiona is adorable and looking like she's growing well. Those chubby little cheeks are amazing!
@sgautschi - A's pigtails are always so cute! She looks pretty comfy dricing that car
@sweetpotato123 - Maternity clothes are worth it for the waistband being elastic, if for nothing else!
For Mommies-to-be:
How many weeks are you? 22w2d
When is your EDD? March 21
How are you feeling? Finally had a good week. No m\s or nausea at all. Baby belly is starting to get in the way, but otherwise feeling pretty good.
What are you craving? Nothing really - fruit snacks and dry cereal but I think its only because we have none of either item in the house right now.
What is grossing you out? Meats mostly. And some strong smells.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? We ran a bunch of baby related errands Saturday night and DH was certain I was trying to kill him. We're on the hunt for a reasonably priced, not super huge rocker/glider for the nursery so please recommend away. We bought some diapers, wipes, diaper cream, gas drops, laundry detergent, and a couple of outfits that were on sale and/or I had a coupon for. It was a pretty successful evening.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? It was a busy day for this...
Had a follow up a/s this afternoon. We got the same not so nice tech, but she was a little more friendly today. We spent 30 minutes staring at little man on the screen with her because she still couldn't get the right heart pictures, and 15 minutes with a student tech to give my stomach a break from the tech stabbing me in the same areas with the wand. I seriously had to ask her to stop or I was going to cry. She eventually got the pictures she needed and relaxed a bit. We did confirm that he is for sure a little man.
Then, I had my regukar OB appointment that went well. I had on snow boots so I'm not talking about the weigh in part but HB and uterus size look good. BP was much lower today which I was happy about. My OB let me refuse the flu shot and I got the TdaP/whooping cough vaccine, and my glucose mixture to drink before my next appointment. Also had to get thyroid bloodwork because my nails have become super brittle in the last 3 weeks and my thyroid was abnormal at my first appointment but my PCP decided not to treat it then. If it comes back abnormal again, we're moving on to an endocrinologist instead of my PCP.
Have you / will you found out the sex? He's definitely a little man.
Any names picked out? We have a top name right now that we're both good with, but leaving the door open in case something else even better comes along.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? It has a theme....and it's not even started yet. Haha
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? No, I think I was long winded enough above.
When is your EDD? 05/16/15
How are you feeling? The nausea seems to be gone. I was getting sick last week, but I think that was mostly due to the amount of junk in my throat from the fake cold I had. Which caused gagging, which led to getting sick.
What are you craving? Nothing really.
What is grossing you out? Strong smells.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? We got a gilder given to us by our former pastor and his wife.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? OB appointment on the 24th.
Have you / will you found out the sex? Yes, we will.
Any names picked out? boy=yes; girl=maybe
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Haven't even started. I think we are going to do either gray walls or a caribbean blue/green color.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? Nope.
Baby Boy born 5.3.15
When is your EDD? June 9
How are you feeling? Not bad. Still pretty tired and grumpy sometimes with some minor nausea, but nothing too bad.
What are you craving? I ate way more donuts than I'd like to admit this weekend.
What is grossing you out? Still salad, to some degree. I did buy a salad tonight though, and darn it, I'm going to eat it tomorrow!
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? No
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? We will likely try to schedule the NT scan for early next week. We'd like to have my mom/parents there if possible, and they're coming out for a week-long visit this Thursday.
Have you / will you found out the sex? H says once we tell our friends, we should have them design a sort of Olympic games for us and whoever wins gets their way. I don't like this, because I feel like our friends will skew it in his favor...
Any names picked out? No news still.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Nothing new. I think I've said before that we'll probably never do much of anything since we plan to move late next summer.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP?
