How many weeks are you? 19 weeks
When is your EDD? June 15th, 2015

Currently on Metformin and Synthroid
EDD: 6.15.15
LOs Age(s):
12 weeks!
Best part of your week?
They are starting to fall into a routine of sorts, I think. I will surely feel more human once I can shower daily without requiring back up.
Worst part of your week?
My patents left for FL. They will be there a couple of weeks, getting their condo ready to rent. This means I have two weeks without my almost daily visitor. My mom had been coming over for a couple of hours (almost) each day to let me shower, nap, etc. So far, I'm surviving!
Milestones?
What aren't they doing. Smiling & giggling more and more. They have started to really play on their play mat, and in bouncers. All of these things make life so much happier. In addition, we've had a family field trip once a week for 3 weeks in a row now! Hopefully we keep this up!
PIP those kiddos!
Smiles & 12 week shots!
After 2 years of TTC, lots of tests, and a Hysteroscopy/Laparoscopy to remove several polyps,

Eek so many a/s coming up, can't wait to find out what you ladies are having!
When is your EDD? May 17, 2015
How are you feeling? I'm good. I can nap like no other, but I'm not back to the point where I NEED to take a nap. I just do it because I can.
What are you craving? Nothing is sticking out for me this week.
What is grossing you out? Vegetables.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Our Rock and Play arrived last weekend.

PIP those kiddos!

When is your EDD? 05/04
How are you feeling? All around ok. It's getting harder to move around and if I get up too quickly, I see "stars". I also feel like I'm much bigger than other women I've seen around my week in pregnancy. I'm getting a little scared about how much bigger I'm going to get.
What are you craving? Nothing much.

Anything else you would like to add or PIP? I just realized I'll be in my third trimester in a couple of weeks and I'm kinda freaking out. It's going by way too fast! I'm sure as I get closer, I'll be so ready for her to be here, but for now I wish I could slow down time.
My mom is going to be sending out the invitations for my baby shower this week and two of my girl friends are going to be helping her with some of the decorations on Sunday. I'm getting really excited about the shower and can't wait to celebrate the arrival of our little one with family and friends!
Best part of your week? Lots of snuggles. He's been such a good baby and he just makes me so happy.
Worst part of your week? We were supposed to do newborn pictures tomorrow but the photog just canceled. She's got a stomach bug so we had to reschedule for Friday. Obviously I don't want DS to get sick but I'm still bummed.
Milestones? Ped appt today and he's gained his birthweight back plus some. He's gained 12oz in the 5 days we've been home and is 1/2 oz from being 10lbs!

Anything else you would like to add or PIP? Hoping to have my discussion with work about my plans this week. Just want to have a plan in place. They're very anti me stepping down so I can WFH one day a week, but if they don't want to change the rule that people in my position can WFH like everyone else, then I have no choice.
