Michelle & Michael
Married - August '10
TTC - Since September 2011
LOs Age(s): 5 months on Thursday
Best part of your week? Thanksgiving! D was SO happy all weekend and slept so well!
Worst part of your week? Leaving my family. I only see one of my sisters and her family every 2 years.
Milestones? She's making A LOT of new/cute noises. She's definitely finding her voice. Also, we're at the "EVERYTHING goes in the mouth stage. I think teeth are getting close.
PIP those kiddos! Thanksgiving family selfie
When is your EDD?
2/17/15
How are you feeling?
Exhausted. I have been sick with a sinus infection since Thursday, but can't take any of the powerful stuff to knock it. The insomnia has also come back too. :-(
What are you craving?
Not much.
What is grossing you out?
Meat.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately?
Had baby shower #1 on Saturday, and little munchkin got spoiled by all of the aunts.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments?
Had centering pregnancy appointment last week. She felt around and baby is head down for now. Yay! We also did a tour of the birthing center, and discussed labor options. I am officially joining the "hopefully med free" club and plan to labor in the tub if I can. I am also prepared for all of this to be thrown out the window.
Have you / will you found out the sex?
Nope, still a surprise. :-) I'm very happy with our decision this week. We are loving discussing what we think it is. Right now H is saying boy, and I think girl. Solely because she has taken away every bit of my beauty and complexion this week. Makeup can only do so much.
Any names picked out?
Just the running list, and I don't see it getting any closer to narrowed down. ugh.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes?
Just waiting for my pictures to come in, then I can put them in the frames and get them hung on the walls. Also need to get onto H about hanging the mirror.

DS delivered naturally at 41w6d on 4/18/14
How many weeks are you? 24w2d
When is your EDD? March 21
How are you feeling? Pretty good considering I'm in Disney World with my sister this week. Feet and legs are more sore than usual but we've been running on 5 hours of sleep a night and I'm surviving.
What are you craving? Nothing really. We've been eating so much that I think it's going to come out my ears soon!
What is grossing you out? Meats and strong smells again.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? No but we are doing our Disney shopping tonight so that will happen in a few hours.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? GD and regular OB appt is the 15th.
Have you / will you found out the sex? Yep - team little man.
Any names picked out? Yes. We are pretty well set on our name that was the top runner. We're keeping it secret until birth and I've almost blurted it out so many times on this trip because at home, DH and I call him by his name all the time.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? I'm hoping DH painted while I have been gone. We shall see.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? I think little man has turned. He's actually kicking up near my ribs now where he never has before. He actually kicked my Nook off of my stomach on the flight down. I'm excited to get back and see if DH can finally catch a kick. I have no doubts after the kicks this little one has given during certain parts of our Disney trip.
How many weeks are you? 10 weeks 4days
When is your EDD? 6/25/15
How are you feeling? I'm feeling okay. A little nauseous at times, but better.
What are you craving? Cheese. Which is really strange for me.
What is grossing you out? The raw turkey that we cooked for thanksgiving.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Nope.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? We have another ultrasound scheduled for tomorrow. I'm really hoping he will release me to go back to work. I had more bleeding this weekend, so I'm hoping this is it!
Have you / will you found out the sex? Probably. I don't think I can handle the wait!
Any names picked out? Yes! We have had them picked out for a while.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes?
Anything else you would like to add or PIP?
Cinnabun and Junebug say, "Go Wildcats!"

What is grossing you out? leftovers
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? not this week
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? NT scan on Wednesday and second midwife appt on Friday!

How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? I didn't think to mention this last week, but we bought a dresser that we're planning to use for baby, and we'll probably throw a changing pad on top and call it a changing table as well.

"You know you're in love when you don't want to fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams." - Dr. SeussWhen is your EDD? 2/13/15
How are you feeling? Pretty good. Starting to feel the awkwardness of later pregnancy: bending over, getting out of bed or off the couch etc.
What are you craving? Still not much
What is grossing you out? nothing I can think of
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? my MIL purchased the first of many over priced frilly outfits for LO

Any names picked out? Same list...
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? We made great progress the last few weeks, but probably wont make much more for a while
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? I am just going to rant that I am ticked off at FIL. I get this is their first grandchild and they are super excited but he is making me insane. They are scheduled to be here for the first week of March great! Well this weekend we found him booking plane tickets for the weekend before they are supposed to be here for a week- without asking us. "Well we aren't going to stay with you, but if you happen to have a baby by then we will visit.." WTF? What if my parents are here? he would be pissed if someone intruded on their time. They have actually planned 4 trips up here in 2 months thank goodness one didn't work, but 3 is seriously way to much as it is.
When is you EDD? May 2015
How are you feeling? Better. I think I'm fighting a cold, which is no good. I have to fly to DC tomorrow and have no desire to be sick while traveling and working.
What are you craving? Bagels and cream cheese
What is grossing you out? Depends on the day
Have you bought/received anything for baby? Not for babies, but I got my first 2 pairs of mater its jeans. I'm in love. I'm at the stage between "is she pregnant or just put on some lbs?"
Appointment on Thursday. Hoping we can convince the doc to let us find out the sex before the anatomy scan in 6weeks.
We will find out the sexes.
No names.
I swear my boobs grew overnight. It is ridiculous. I will be buying new cheap bras this weekend. Any ideas on where to go? I am normally 36dd and have no idea what I am now. I just don't want to spend the usual $ on Vickies or Soma.

Baby Boy born 5.3.15
LOs Age(s):
5 and a half weeks
Best part of your week?
I was going to say either our first date night, or watching our dog get much less freaked out about these two babies- but OMG (and I don't normally OMG, but this is OMG-worthy) Zoey only woke up once last night. She thought about waking up a second time, but I rocked her RNP and she settled back into sleep. We just have to convince Garrett to follow suit!
Worst part of your week?
Nothing really- I think I've just been too tired to process bad things
Milestones?
They are definitely more wakeful, and so strong. When you hold them, they hold their heads up like they are big kids
