TTC #1 August 2014. BFP 9/26! EDD 6/9/15
Baby A born 6/17/2015
Re: A late Mommy & M2B Monday!
When is your EDD? 6/9/15
How are you feeling? No complaints here. A little sore in the uterus/pelvic area, but nothing too bad.
What are you craving? Mostly junk food. It doesn't seem so much like cravings, though, as just being too lazy to prepare anything healthy. We are definitely trying to do better with that.
What is grossing you out? Nothing
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? We bought another onesie set today after our 18w appointment.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Had the 18w appointment today. Turns out group appointments will start closer to the end of the month. I also had blood drawn today for the second part of the sequential screen, and we scheduled our A/S for the 20th!
Have you / will you found out the sex? Nope.
Any names picked out? We have a girl name, a probable boy middle name, and a couple of first name front runners for a boy.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Nothing new, but I don't know if I mentioned on here that I have a friend who has offered to let us borrow her unused co-sleeper for the first couple months. Such a big help, since we're planning to move out of state in August.
"You know you're in love when you don't want to fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams." - Dr. SeussHow many weeks are you? 35w4d
When is your EDD? 2/5/15
How are you feeling? Heartburn sucks...
What are you craving? Chocolate and carbs
What is grossing you out? Nothing
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Just a lamp for better lighting in his room, and I got some free formula samples. I have a pretty decent stockpile now just in case.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Had one today, baby boy looks great. Onto weekly appointments now.
Have you / will you found out the sex? Boy
Any names picked out? Thomas
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? 99.9% done! Just need to hang one or two things, and add a baby!
Anything else you would like to add or PIP?
Already Mommies:
LOs Age(s): 15 months
Best part of your week? Enjoying the last few days of DHs vacation together as a family.
Worst part of your week? Heartburn last night...

PIP those kiddos!
Best part of your week? Sleeping 5 hour stretch at night!

PIP those kiddos!
When is your EDD? May
How are you feeling? Tired
What are you craving? Nothing
What is grossing you out? Raw chicken. Still.
Have you bought/received anything for baby? We ordered their cribs which will be here Friday- amazing deal from Kohls. Also, there were some great clearance zip up sleep and plays at target. Some good friends sent us a care package with little socks with our alma matter's logo on them. Things are starting to get very real.
Appointments? Anatomy my scan on the 14th
Have you found out the sex? Boys
Any names? Maybe
How is the nursery coming? Themes? We've picked the colors navy, teal and white. The theme will be multicultural (my OH is from Europe), so I've found really great prints on etsy.
How many weeks are you? 29w3d
When is your EDD? March 21
How are you feeling? Overall, I enjoy being pregnant. So don't get me wrong when whiney pregnant woman comes out and says sore, tired, tired of not sleeping, and anxious to meet this little one.
What are you craving? Ice. Large cups of ice.
What is grossing you out? Food mostly.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Got a few more late Christmas gifts that I had to exchange and snagged a few deals at the Old Navy outlet while making returns/exchanges.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Regular appt today and I'll get my Rhogam shot. Then I think I'm every two weeks. Eepp!
Have you / will you found out the sex? We are team Little Man.
Any names picked out? Yep! Confirmed that we are not duplicating a friend's LOs name. She's due 6 weeks ahead of me so I'm glad we didn't pick the same name.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? We got our changing pad topper for the dresser. Now only need a rocker, a couple mattresses (crib and changing pad), and decor. Oh, and a closet organizer. Whoops.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? Anyone have a good pep talk to make it through the last 10/11 weeks? Like I said, I enjoy being pregnant and I'm sure I'll miss feeling LO move around like a crazy man, but my body is so sore and I'm so tired (a term that I know is relative compared to the newborn period). Restless legs, itchy everywhere, and a band of stretching/burning/pain from my low back to lower pelvis are my major complaints.
LOs Age(s): 4 years old; 3.5 months old
Best part of your week? DH and Lexi went out for a "date" Friday morning. Eliana and I joined them afterwards for some shopping. I love it when he does things with her.
Worst part of your week? Nothing to bad this week. I'm still trying to figure out a morning routine to get Lexi and Eliana up without having either Miss Crankypants or Miss Hungrypants. It's getting better, but I still run late every morning.
Milestones? Eliana has been grabbing everything in site. She also loves seeing her sister and cousin and constantly smiles at them.
PIP those kiddos!
When is your EDD?
2/17/15
How are you feeling?
Like I'm almost 9 months pregnant.
What are you craving?
Nothing. No food sounds good. I eat because I'm hungry, and that's it.
What is grossing you out?
Meat.

Bought a set of month stickers and a set of first holiday stickers.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments?
Last centering pregnancy appointment this afternoon. :-( I'm going to miss all of those girls.
Have you / will you found out the sex?
Nope.
Any names picked out?
Yes. Still have a list of 5 girls names and 3 boys names, and that's as narrowed down as it's going to get.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes?
Pretty much done. Still need the mirror hung, but it's heavy and we're having a hard time finding brackets to mount it with.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP?
