LOs Age(s): 1 day
Best part of your week? Meeting our Sarah Abigail
Worst part of your week? Can't think of anything
Milestones? Learning to eat
PIP those kiddos!
When is your EDD? June 9
How are you feeling? Pretty good. Feeling lots of kicks, stretches, etc. lately!
What are you craving? Everything. I've been all about lemonade for a while now, but I'm back into peanut butter again, and loving cereal.
What is grossing you out? Still leafy greens, interestingly. I tried it again recently and had to choke the whole thing down.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? No, but we're starting to think seriously about car seats. Also, I don't think I told you guys we got a Lillebaby carrier earlier this month. I'm in love.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Had the A/S today! Baby looked pretty good to my untrained eye, but we'll get the official results at our first group appointment Thursday afternoon.
Have you / will you found out the sex? Nope. The tech had us look away for the leg measurements so we wouldn't see, but we both thought we saw something when she was doing frontal abdominal shots. We're just telling ourselves that she knows what she's doing and we don't, so we'll still be surprised in June.
Any names picked out? Nothing new, still down to 1 girl and 2ish boy names
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? So, remember when we had that mold problem in October? DH just found a TON more in the room we're planning to keep baby's stuff in. Ugh.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? I want to add a picture, but my computer can't seem to find/read the CD they gave me. I'll work on it.

How are you feeling? I stayed home today. I've had horrible hip pain for the last couple of days and have been sleeping terribly. I've had a headache on and off today. My ribs are also starting to hurt. So, I guess all around kinda crappy. Lol
What are you craving? Nothing.
What is grossing you out? Nothing.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? I bought several clothing items from zulilly. I probably shouldn't have, but I couldn't help myself. They were all so cute and priced great!

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'm almost done with the crib. I just need to rub it down with some steel wool to smooth it out. Once that's done, I'll start working on the bedding.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? I'll PIP the crib once it's done.

How many weeks are you? 24w1d
When is your EDD? May 17
How are you feeling? Not too bad. I spent some time in L&D last night for what turned out to be an (a?) UTI. Stayed home today for sleep and relaxation. The kidney pain is what sent me in and it's finally subsiding, so I'm hoping for some quality sleep tonight.
What are you craving? Fruit Snacks
What is grossing you out? Vegetables. Eggs. The usuals.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? This week has been quiet on the buying front.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? We had our anatomy re-scan last Friday, as they couldn't find his pulmonary veins the first time and they thought he was measuring slightly small for his age. Turns out the Peri had the wrong due date entered in their system, so he's right at the 56%tile for weight. They found the veins and we got to spend the next 30 minutes with a really awesome tech who took a bunch of pictures because "he was being a perfect Friday afternoon appointment."
Have you / will you found out the sex? Team Little Man.
Any names picked out? Vincent Dean
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? We are going with orange and gray as our main color scheme, with accents of dark teal green. We have nothing for it yet, but did pick out a crib we liked at Target.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? In exchange for sexual favors, I got Jimothy to go register at Target with me on Saturday morning. There's no shame in my game.
Baby Boy born 5.3.15
How many weeks are you? 32+2
When is your EDD? March 21
How are you feeling? Large and tired
What are you craving? Ice...so much ice. And some sweets, like chocolate and cookies, but cereal with cold milk every night before bed is now a requirement.
What is grossing you out? Meats.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Our shower was Saturday. Got so many of our big ticket items and little man got SO many clothes. Only a few doubles too which will make exchanges/returns so much easier. Only weird thing is that our diaper pail came off the registry so early, and didn't show up at the shower. Not sure if it was one of our last minute cancels or what. Suggestions on how long to wait before we just pick it up (buy it) ourselves?
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Regular appt tomorrow morning. Then every two weeks. Crazy!!
Have you / will you found out the sex? We are team Little Man
Any names picked out? Yep and getting very excited to share after he's born.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Needs closet organization and our rocker.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? Stretch marks have joined my ever-growing belly. DH keeps having to reassure me that it's ok. I've just always had such body image issues with my stomach in general.
Baby Boy born 5.3.15
How many weeks are you? 18 weeks 4 days
When is your EDD? June 2015
How are you feeling? Pretty good! In starting to have a little trouble sleeping and am thinking about getting a body pillow or something to help me stay comfortable. My hormones were out of control yesterday, and I lost it on DH over something really stupid.
What are you craving? Cheese
What is grossing you out? Nothing really. Strong smells
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Nothing. We started looking researching for the registry.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? A/s is next Wednesday
Have you / will you found out the sex? Yes next Wednesday!
Any names picked out? We have a girls name and a boys first name
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? We are going with a travel theme, but haven't done anything else.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP?

37w
When is your EDD?
2/17/15
How are you feeling?
Slow. Very slow. Although in general I'm feeling just fine. Had my first experience with feet swelling this weekend though. So I've been hydrating like crazy since, and that's helped.
What are you craving?
Nothing really.
What is grossing you out?
Still meat. My mom gave me a pan of lasagna we were given from my brothers' passing, and I can't even look at it.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately?
Nothing this past week.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments?
Went in yesterday because baby decided to scare us again and be very quiet. So they hooked me up to monitors at the office. They wanted to see 2 movements within the 20 minute time frame, and baby moved 3 times. Still on the low end of what they like to see, but still in the range. So they tested my urine just to make sure there wasn't anything else and sent me on my merry way. She said that if baby doesn't pick up its movements this week, then we'll do another NST next week just to make sure everything is okay in there.
Have you / will you found out the sex?
Any names picked out?
Just the running list.
We tossed around the idea of adding in my brothers' name to a part of baby's name, but I'm not sure. His name was Brent William XXXXX. I love William as a middle name and have been fighting for it since we got pregnant. So maybe I can get H to consider it a little more. Otherwise we tossed out Brently as a middle name, since that was one of his nicknames. But I'm not sure. I like the idea of doing that since we would like to stick with family names for middle names, but it feels like it's too soon and permanent to decide that.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes?
Still need a couple of finishing touches, but it's probably as finished as it's going to get.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP?
