Best part of your week? Took Adalyn to see Christmas lights, some of the neighborhoods around here go crazy. It was fun to see her just gaze in fascination.
Worst part of your week? Poor girl is sick. Not 100% sure with what, she keeps running a high fever. I think it's probably the same virus my mom and sisters got, basically a sinus type virus with headache and sore throat. No real other symptoms except fatigue.
Milestones? She has learned "uh oh" and put her hands up (with palms up) when she says it. So cute! She also knows how to climb onto our bed and get down safely. She's a master climber.
PIP those kiddos!

Michelle & Michael
Married - August '10
TTC - Since September 2011
30w6d
When is your EDD?
2/17/15
How are you feeling?
Could be better, but it's fine. Baby must be riding high up, because it plays with my stomach if I'm not standing or laying down, and it's making me sleep with a garbage can next to the bed. :-( I also think it is greatly shifting positions in there, because it will move a bunch and then I feel like I have motion sickness from it.
What are you craving?
Nothing at all. Food is just blah.
What is grossing you out?
Still meat. Except fish, and very very lean beef or lamb.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately?
Just stuff to have for delivery.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments?
Had a centering pregnancy appointment last week, and baby was head down and in my pelvis. So far so good. Next appointment is next Tuesday.
Have you / will you found out the sex?
Nope.
Any names picked out?
We finally have a list we have agreed on, and will walk into the delivery room with.
Girls:
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes?
Finally got the wall decor put up above the crib. Now just need to find frames for the other 2 pictures/sayings and have H or FIL hang the mirror.

Any names picked out? Yep! Won't announce until birth though.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? We're working on the feature wall and touching up the edges of the paint that peeled.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? For anyone who read my TMI question about diarrhea - my OB responded today with 'Well, that's better than constipation' so I guess it's nothing to worry about. Haha.
Also, DH is adorable and wanted to ask the OB about timing contractions and what phone number to call and everything at today's appointment. I reassured him that we have plenty of time before we need those things.

"You know you're in love when you don't want to fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams." - Dr. SeussFor Mommies-to-be:
How many weeks are you? 21w; I can't believe that I'm more than halfway done! This pregnancy is flying by even faster that=n my pregnancy with A did.
When is your EDD? 4/27/15
How are you feeling? I'm a bit tired, but A's had a rough week for sleeping/teething, so at least some of it is due to that.
What are you craving? All the food
What is grossing you out? Nothing
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? No, not lately. After Christmas I'll probably sit down and see how much of our GN neutral matches up for the season and see if I need to purchase anything new. I think that we should be fine with what we have, though.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Everything looked great at my A/S, so my next appointment isn't until January.
Have you / will you found out the sex? Nope! We remain TG.
Any names picked out? Still no discussion on this at all lately.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? We won't figure out the nursery until after the baby is here. There's still a chance that we might have A and LO #2 share a room and we'd move both of them to a bigger room.
Already Mommies:
LOs Age(s): 16 months
Best part of your week? Seeing her trying new things is so much fun. Yesterday she was trying to stack blocks to make a tower and I was really impressed with her focus.
Worst part of your week? Her sleep schedule has been an absolute mess this last week and her last molar is really moving and seems to be bothering her. I hate seeing her in pain knowing that while I can do things like give her Tylenol and comfort her, I can't actually take away her pain.
Milestones? Nothing specific comes to mind, but she really has the concept of "off" down. Whenever we go in to get her from her crib, she points at her video monitor and then her Sleep Sheep and repeatedly says "oss" (her word for off) to remind us to turn them off. It never fails to make me smile.

7 weeks
Best part of your week?
The ILs visited this weekend, and SIL brought cute winter buntings, so we have been getting outside for walks.
Worst part of your week?
Long story, but the IL visit didn't go as planned. We thought they were coming up to do a pseudo-Christmas, since this is the first year H isn't going home, and we won't be able to join them for the annual NYC holiday trip. It felt much more like just a stop over on their way to NYC, and H was really sad that it wasn't the visit he was hoping for. There is a ton more to the story, but H has been really bummed about it.
Milestones?
Between 7 hours of straight sleep a night, and G (the kid who needed to be rocked to sleep for an hour each night) to finally be able to put himself to sleep, I feel like I've won the lottery.
PIP those kiddos!
doin the twin thing & Santa's house call!

Surprise BFP turns into Surprise Twins!
Zoey and Garrett born 10/24/14 at 36+3
LOs Age(s): 4 years old; 3 months old
Best part of your week? Having a relaxing weekend at home. Also Eliana's first week at daycare was a success.
Worst part of your week? Lexi catching the sinus virus that's going around. Poor thing spiked a fever to 103 yesterday and has thrown up twice from her headaches.
Milestones? Eliana has been smiling at everything lately. She also holds her head up fairly well when I sit her in my lap.
PIP those kiddos!
LOs Age(s): 14 weeks? (I'm losing track!)
Best part of your week? Going to get pictures with Santa on Sunday! We didn't get any smiles, but she still did great!
Worst part of your week? Moving Fiona from our room to her crib. It's been 4 nights, and I'm still sad when I go to bed and she's not right next to the bed.
Milestones? She seems to be swatting and grabbing with more purpose!
PIP those kiddos! I'll add some in another post...everything's on my phone!

B/w 1/8: betas 17,345, progesterone 25.6
How many weeks are you? 20w1d! Halfway there!!
When is your EDD? 05/04/15
How are you feeling? Pretty good other than some lower back/hip pain. I started refinishing some furniture for my stepdaughters rooms and I guess I over did it a bit. I'll have to remember to get up and do some stretching or something and hopefully that will help.
What are you craving? Nothing in particular.
What is grossing you out? Smells. H had buffalo wings the other day and I could still smell the sauce/spice on him the next day. It was like seeping through his pores or something.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? We found a beautiful dresser and a chair I'll be turning into a rocker last week and I'll be putting that in the nursery.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Nothing until next month.
Have you / will you found out the sex? It's a girl!
Any names picked out? Still debating on the middle name. We just can't decide. Aria Isabella or Aria Penelope.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? I'm going to be ordering the crib next month and I'm hoping to get the fabric for the bedding soon so that my MIL can start making it all. She is great at sewing and upholstery, so I'm really excited about having something custom.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? She's been moving so much more the last couple of days. Yesterday, she must have been doing karate kicks! It was so crazy feeling it that strongly. I loved it!
