Re: Mommy & Mommy 2 Be Monday!
LOs Age(s): 4 years old; 4 months old (tomorrow)
Best part of your week? I was able to get out of the house alone on Sunday, which was nice.
Worst part of your week? Last week was my last week working part time. Eliana's daycare is officially 5 days a week, so now I'm back to work full time. Makes me sad.
Milestones? Eliana is sitting up assisted now and now she hangs out in her high chair while I work in the kitchen. She is really enjoying her toys while in it. She is also using the jumperoo and has been working at touching her toes. Lexi just surprises me with what comes out of her mouth. I enjoy the conversations we have. She is just like a little adult.
PIP those kiddos!
When is your EDD? March 14th
How are you feeling? Tired but generally good.
What are you craving? All I want to do is eat! But mostly candy and ice cream.
What is grossing you out? sauces
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Not this week.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Ultrasound on Wed!
Have you / will you found out the sex? Girl
Any names picked out? Sophia
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? We have floors!!! And DH and my Dad did a cute little accent wall for behind the crib.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? I had my first pregnancy fall. I slipped on ice this morning and fell down my entire front stoop. Luckily I landed on my super cushioned butt and bounced the whole way down.

When is your EDD?
2/17/15
How are you feeling?
Pretty good.
What are you craving?
Love cereal. Mmmm Cheerios.
What is grossing you out?
Meat still. However, I did have a Whopper yesterday. It was the 4 cheese Whopper though, so the excessive amounts of cheese probably had something to do with it.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately?
Had my last shower on Saturday, and pretty much got everything else we needed. Now just need to purchase the Ergo and a few other odds and ends. Then we're set.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments?
Appointment next Tuesday. That's when I start once a week.
Have you / will you found out the sex?
Nope
Any names picked out?
Just the running list we'll go into the delivery room with.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes?
Still need the mirror hung (story of my life), and the light in the closet mounted. Hopefully I can get them to finally do that this week, but it isn't a necessity.

For Mommies-to-be:
How many weeks are you? 35+3
When is your EDD? 2/13/1+
How are you feeling? OK, feeling the aches and pains of late pregnancy but I can't complain too much. She must have made a big move yesterday because there is a huge change in the way I feel and what positions are comfortable
What are you craving? Not a lot, but I am waking up at about 3am with the munchies. I might have to keep a small snack by my bed
What is grossing you out? Nothing that I can think of
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Not this week. I have a not-so-surprise shower this weekend, and then next week I plan on making a trip to get the rest of our necessities. Then the final touches of organization.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Thursday. My first weekly appointment with internal check yay? We do get a growth ultrasound too which is fun. H is super excited about it. I told him he didn't have to come his response : "and miss a chance to see our baby girl??"
Have you / will you found out the sex? It's a girl
Any names picked out? Umm still frustrating although I think I tossed out a name today that we could both agree on, but I am not holding my breath
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? OK. We hung 2 of the 3 prints up yesterday and I love them. They are literary posters, the dark areas are the text from the books and the negative space is a picture depicting the literary piece. (a picture below)
Anything else you would like to add or PIP?
How many weeks are you? 36w4d
When is your EDD? 2/5/15
How are you feeling? Exhausted, I can't even stay awake a whole day anymore because I'm up at least 3-5 times a night switching positions, taking tums or going pee. I hate it.
What are you craving? Chocolate and french toast. I've wanted french toast for days...
What is grossing you out? Nothing really grossing me out, but some foods just don't sound good. Like hamburgers.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Nothing this week. Well, technically yes I suppose. We bought Adalyn two new pairs of shoes, but got them in gender neutral (aka boy) styles so that we could reuse them for Thomas.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? This evening, and once a week until he shows.
Have you / will you found out the sex? Boy
Any names picked out? Thomas
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Still 99.9% done. I'll have it 100% done this weekend.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP?
Already Mommies:
LOs Age(s): 15 months
Best part of your week? DH and I took her to the park over the weekend and it was so fun watching them interact. This is actually the first time he has gone to a park with us, since I usually go while he's at work. You could tell he was loving the experience.
Worst part of your week? Teething...she's been waking up at least twice a night (so add that to the 3-5 times I wake up anyway). Poor girl.
Milestones? Her balance has improved a ton! And her words are also becoming much clearer, I think a stranger could almost understand them.
PIP those kiddos!

my read shelf:
When is your EDD? May 17
How are you feeling? Great! I can nap like no one's business still.
What are you craving? Corn dogs
What is grossing you out? Eggs and most vegetables
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Our stroller! I've been drooling over the City Mini for years...and promised myself if we were ever lucky enough to bring a baby home, I'd buy it as a splurge. Kohls had a 20% off baby sale (through the end of this month I think) and I was able to stack another 15% off coupon to get the GT for the same price as the regular version. SCORE! It arrived last Friday, and I had to reluctantly put it in the garage until this summer.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? We have our regular OB appointment next Monday and a followup anatomy scan on Friday the 23rd.
Have you / will you found out the sex? He's a boy!
Any names picked out? Vincent Dean
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? We just rearranged the spare/guest room out to the loft area yesterday. It's not ideal, but I was unwilling to give up the bed for my parents to stay in when they visit.
merp. It's large. I'm over it.
The nursery is now mostly empty and will be ready for us to paint in the coming month or two.
Baby Boy born 5.3.15

How many weeks are you? 12+5
When is your EDD? 7/22/2015
How are you feeling? Much better. I can still nap on command, but I don't HAVE TO every day.
What are you craving? Hamburgers. All the hamburgers.
What is grossing you out? not much.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? I bought maternity jeans this weekend. They are the most comfortable things ever. I can still comfortably wear about half mine, but I figured it was about time to supplement.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? None until February.
Have you / will you found out the sex? We will.
Any names picked out? Barely even a discussion so far.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? I'm starting to get ideas, but I need to start shopping around.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? One of my closest IRL friends who has gone through a very similar journey to us, just told me their IVF cycle last month worked!!! I'm so happy for them and excited that we are going to be pregnant together and have babies about the same age!

Best: Staying at home had been awesome!
Worst: Donnie has been napping like crap and sleeping like crap. If he doesn't get a tooth in the next week, I'm going to bang my head off the wall.
Milestones: He's crawling all over the place and has pulled himself to standing a ton in the last few days. Crazy.

How are you feeling? Is death an option for a response? I feel like I got hit by a truck. I had some stomach issues over night, and now I'm stuffy, face hurts, ears hurt, and I'm overall exhausted. I think this may be more than just an 'overdid it' type deal.
What are you craving? Ice still
What is grossing you out? Meats
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? We got a package from DHs cousin who won't be able to make it to the shower. Got my Boppy, a newborn bottle set (Tommee Tippee) and drying rack.

Have you / will you found out the sex? Team Little Man!
Any names picked out? Yes but secret until birth.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? My mom ordered the crib mattress. Still have to get the closet organizer and some decor done.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? We had our Labor & Delivery class on Saturday. 8 hours was a bit intense but I actually enjoyed it and I think it made DH realize what labor is really like. He kept jaw dropping and saying wow. Haha.

@simsk3887 feel better soon!
How far along are you? 20w1d
When is your EDD? May
How are you feeling? Ok. I did nothing this weekend and that seemed to help. I was just saying to someone last week how I was sleeping great, and now I'm not sleeping at all. I bought a snoogle and hate it.
What are you craving? Baked goods
What is grossing you out? Not much is grossing me out, just not in the mood for much
Have you bought/received anything? We bought the crib mattresses and my mom gave us two bibs and two socks with our alma matter on them.
Appointments? Anatomy scan on Wednesday morning. I cannot wait and am praying for healthy babies!!
They are both boys.
No names yet.
Nursery is still a holding room of some stuff that needs to be relocated. We picked our colors and theme, so that's a start!
Best part of your week? We finally got some social smiles. Best thing ever!
Worst part of your week? I think we are in a growth spurt. He is constantly BFing and not sleeping that well.
Milestones? Smiles!
How many weeks are you? 16 weeks + 4 days
When is your EDD? 6/25/15
How are you feeling? Really good! I have occasional morning sickness, but I feel much better.
What are you craving? Nothing really
What is grossing you out? Still raw meat
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Nope. DH wants to buy things for the baby for valentines day (which we don't really celebrate) which I think is totally cute.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? 16 week appt went well. We didn't have an ultrasound which I wish we did to check on the blood, but I'm happy that the OB is treating me like a normal pregnancy. Heartbeat was good!
Have you / will you found out the sex? Yes! Next month!
Any names picked out? We have a girls, but I just changed my mind on the boy.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Nothing yet. Although Pinterest is blowing up with all sorts of different ideas.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP?
Cinnabun and Junebug say, "Go Wildcats!"
How many weeks are you? 24w1d
When is your EDD? May 4th
How are you feeling? Tired, grumpy, stressed, overwhelmed, but also happy and relieved. We finally closed on our construction loan! The tired, grumpy, stressed, overwhelmed is from our current living situation. I'm so ready to be in our own home and out of my parents place.
What are you craving? Nothing much.
What is grossing you out? Honestly, H's and my stepdaughters farts. Unfortunately, H is pretty gassy and the girls have been more so lately. It makes me want to gag every time they do it lately.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? We bought a pack n play last night from Target because they were having a 20% off sale and free shipping.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Next monthly appt is later this month. I'm going to schedule a 3D ultrasound in the next couple of weeks.
Have you / will you found out the sex? Team Pink!
Any names picked out? Aria Isabella
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? I haven't been able to do much lately. I need to finish the crib before I can do any of the bedding, but the weather hasn't been nice enough to paint. Also, my order for the two side tables got cancelled because they apparently sold too many. So, I'm back on the hunt for those.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? I mentioned this to my doctor and she said didn't seem too concerned, but I wanted to get feedback from you all. I've been having these episodes of painful pressure, almost like the pressure you feel when you're holding pee, but it's been getting more and more intense. Yesterday, I couldn't even walk. It doesn't feel like my stomach is contracting or anything, but just a lot of pressure with pain when I move. It's happened about 5 or 6 times now, and when I mentioned it to my doctor, it wasn't as intense as it's been getting lately.
