Re: Mommy & Mommy2B on a Tuesday!
How many weeks are you? 25 + 2
When is your EDD? May 17
How are you feeling? I think i'm coming down with a cold/getting sick, so I am feeling tired and crabby. Should make for a great day at work.
What are you craving? Still mostly just beef and carbs.
What is grossing you out? broccoli. Which is the only side dish Jimothy wants to ever have for dinner.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? One of Jim's co-workers gifted us a bunch of items they were getting rid of: high chair, two car seat bases, bouncy chair, bumbo, video monitor + extra camera, breast pump and some swaddles/sleep sacks. I am so grateful for their generosity, but feeling guilty that they gave us so much. They wouldn't take any money for it, but we did buy them a nice size gift card for dinner out and some specialty beer for the H.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Went in last week because they thought the UTI might not just be that, but also kidney stones. No stones to find, but they aren't sure why I'm still having the pain. It's been fine since then, so hopefully, it's on its' way out. The tech did check the placenta and the cervix during the kidney ultrasound for me...so that was reassuring that he's all safely tucked away in there.
Have you / will you found out the sex? Team Blue
Any names picked out? Vincent
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? We picked out fabric this weekend for curtains and a bed skirt. We'll be painting the room orange (accent wall) and gray. Using dark brown/cherry-esque wood for the crib.
Baby Boy born 5.3.15
Baby Boy born 5.3.15
LOs Age(s): 2 months
Best part of your week? A happier boy!
Worst part of your week? Watching him get blood drawn.
Milestones? Gaining weight. Poor guy wasn't in a percentile at all at his 2 month check. Now we know I'm not producing enough milk so we have to supplement.
PIP those kiddos!
For Mommies-to-be:
How many weeks are you? 34 weeks 3 days
When is your EDD? March 14th but I think earlier
How are you feeling? I am soooo sore! My pelvis is so achy, my lower back cramps up after doing the slightest house work. I am also soooo tired.
What are you craving? Strawberries this week.
What is grossing you out? I wouldn't say anything grosses me out right now but I just stay away from a lot of foods.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? I started buying things for my diaper bag. Our baby shower is this Sunday so this weekend will be full of baby gifts!
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Feb 12th is my first vaginal exam and start of my weekly appointments.
Have you / will you found out the sex? Girl
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? It's getting there. We should be picking up the crib this week.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? My nesting is out of controlllll this week. I am so ready for this little lady to come. I have no PIP's of our nursery because it is still set up to be a guest room.

When is your EDD? 8.21.15
How are you feeling? Less nauseated. Still exhausted and having headaches. The vivid dreams and insomnia aren't helping with the exhaustion.
What are you craving? Whatever I'm up for eating at the time. It really varies.
What is grossing you out? Food aversions are still going. They seem to rotate a bit. But I still want nothing to do with red meat or pork.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Nope.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? NT is Friday. DH just keeps telling me to be excited and happy we get to see Rudy Friday. I'm scared and nervous. His encouragement and excitement is definitely helping.
Have you / will you found out the sex? We will.
Any names picked out? Nope.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? No progress.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? I can't think of anything right now.
When is your EDD? May
How are you feeling? Ok. I'm getting over a nasty cold and didn't sleep last night. My apetite has also decreased, so I'm not sure if it's the virus or what. I need to eat, so I've been making myself.
What are you craving? Smoothies
What is grossing you out? Raw chicken and I'm not too interested in cooking.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Our etsy prints came in the mail, so bought some frames. Going fabric shopping Saturday for curtains and bed skirts.
Appointments? Growth scan and a better look at their hearts on Monday.
Both boys
I think the names are picked

Anything else you would like to add or PIP?
Just good luck to those ladies with important appointments this week, @islandmonkey8 and @abt8113! And yay for V day, @sweetpotato123.
Hang in there @mrshall1027! I had a few weeks where I felt mentally like I got hit by a truck and called off work just to sleep and cry. Talk to your dr and take it easy on yourself. Your body is going through a lot right now.
When is your EDD? 6/9/15
How are you feeling? Fine mostly. Getting over a cold, which sucked because I'm usually all about the cold medicine and decided to mostly just tough it out. Poor DH had to listen to me whine all weekend.
What are you craving? Still a fan of cereal. And cheese. And peanut butter. And bagels and cream cheese. I'm not convinced these count as "cravings" so much as I just like to eat them and have less willpower lately to talk myself into anything else.
What is grossing you out? Nothing really.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Nothing this week.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? We had our first group appointment on Thursday last week. It was nice, I guess. A little weird because only 3 out of 8 of us actually made it for the first day.
Have you / will you found out the sex? Nope.
Any names picked out? I think we're down to one girl and two boy names.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Mold-infested. It looks like we'll be moving sometime this month. So not looking forward to this.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? I think I promised a picture from the a/s last week and failed to deliver. So without further ado, our Peanut:

"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? 28w2d -- hello 3rd tri
When is your EDD? 4/27
How are you feeling? Besides catching a cold on my trip, pretty good.
What are you craving? All the food
What is grossing you out? Nothing
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? No, but I really need to put some stuff on a registry so that I can get the registry completion discount for what we do need.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Had the GD test and my Rhogam shot yesterday and am just waiting on the results from the GD test.
Have you / will you found out the sex? Not for another 12ish weeks!
Any names picked out? Nope! Since DH was working insane hours for January, we barely saw each other, let alone had time to talk names. I'm hoping we can come up with a couple of lists this weekend.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? No nursery until the baby is here. S/he will share a dresser and closet with A and will room in with us until 5-6 months or so. At that point, we'll decide if they're sharing a room or having separate rooms.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? I'm kind of in shock about being in 3rd tri. This has gone by ridiculously fast.
Already Mommies:
LOs Age(s): 17.5 months.
Best part of your week? Coming home from my business trip and hearing her excited voice saying "Mama!"
Worst part of your week? My trip getting extended for an extra day and a half due to weather-related flight cancellations.
Milestones? She's still in the middle of a vocabulary explosion and easily has at least 75 words. I can't believe how quickly she's picking them up these days.
Team Green to Team Pink! Baby A born
Here comes 2u2! Team Green to Team Blue! Baby L born
38w1d
When is your EDD?
2/17/15
How are you feeling?
Pretty good given how far along I am. Can still do quite a bit. Definitely uncomfortable when trying to sleep, but if that's my biggest complaint then I'm fine with it.
What are you craving?
Soft pretzels and queso. Also anything a teenage boy would eat. Chicken nuggets, chips, tator tots, mozzarella sticks, or anything that comes frozen that's unhealthy.
What is grossing you out?
Stuff with a tomato sauce. Probably the acid reflex causing that, but I made chili and tomato soup this weekend. Bad idea.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately?
Picked up the last of the things off our Target registry this weekend. Got the Ergo carrier. :-)
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments?
Appointment yesterday. Decided not to have a cervical check, so I have no idea if I've dilated any. But baby is still pretty high up, so the midwife warned that she wouldn't be surprised if I see my due date.
Have you / will you found out the sex?
Nope. But will know soon! :-D
Any names picked out?
Still the running list.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes?
Finished
