Re: Mommy & Mommy2B
When is your EDD? March 14th
How are you feeling? I am sooooo sore. My sciatic nerve is almost unbearable at times and this throws off the rest of my body. I'm also not sleeping at all.
What are you craving? Nothing
What is grossing you out? Nothing I can think of
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? We had our baby shower yesterday so we received tons of clothes, bouncy seat, high chair, stroller, car seat, jumperoo, monitors, etc.
We still need a bath tub, possibly a swing, sheets, changing pad. So we will be doing some shopping this week.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Thursday is my 1st vaginal exam which means we are on our way!
Have you / will you found out the sex? Girl
Any names picked out?
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? The nursery is almost done! We just need to pick up the crib and table. Next we will pick out a glider chair too.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? I had such a great shower this weekend and I am so so so thankful for everything we got. I didn't realize how much more stuff I would end up needing after the fact though!

~~BFP 7/6/14~~~EDD 3/14/15~~It's a girl!!~~
Best part of your week? Baby laughs. Also saw some friends this weekend.
Worst part of your week? Yesterday was rough. We ended up switching the formula we supplement with to see if it helps his gas and spit up. So far so good.
Milestones? Gaining weight. Still a big deal around here! Lol
15w
Best part of your week?
Family Field Trip yesterday. We have been going to lunch all together on Sundays. Up until this week, they would sleep through the whole trip, or we would have to either swing their car seats, or hold them to keep the crying under control. This week, they were each awake at times, playing quietly! We both were able to eat or lunch without interruption. Haha.
Worst part of your week?
I'd really like the snow to calm down so we can go mall walking, or some other out of the house adventure!
Milestones?
Playing with toys! And also sitting up assisted for a Little bit. Getting close to rolling!
PIP those kiddos!
After 2 years of TTC, lots of tests, and a Hysteroscopy/Laparoscopy to remove several polyps,

For Mommies-to-be:
How many weeks are you? 29w today!
When is your EDD? 4/27
How are you feeling? Emotional and tired today. I'm rundown from having a cold for the last week and A was up from 2:45-5:00 this morning, so I'm exhausted.
What are you craving? DH is picking up a Boston cream donut for me and dropping it off while he's on his lunch break. I eat my feelings when I'm sad/stressed.
What is grossing you out? Nada
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? No, but I finally started making a list of the things that we need to put on our registry.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? I passed my GD test last week! My next appointment is next week Wednesday with a midwife I haven't seen before.
Have you / will you found out the sex? Team Green
Any names picked out? No
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Nothing here, although I did start cleaning out A's closet so that there is room for both of their clothes.
Already Mommies:
LOs Age(s): I'm saying 17m while I still can since as of 2/13 she's officially 18m
Best part of your week? We had a lot of family time this weekend, which was really nice.
Worst part of your week? A has been having a bit of a witching hour starting at 5/5:30 in the evenings, so that's been a challenge. She finally had three of her four eye teeth pop through (all literally overnight!), so I'm hoping that that helps.
Milestones? She's at 75 words and counting. She's also almost able to go down stairs on her own, but she winds up forgetting that she's wants to go down part of the way and starts climbing back up instead. It cracks me up.
Team Green to Team Pink! Baby A born
Here comes 2u2! Team Green to Team Blue! Baby L born

When is your EDD?
2/17/15
How are you feeling?
Pretty good. Any day now. :-)
What are you craving?
Still food that's bad for me. Yesterday my lunch consisted of mozzarella sticks and corn dogs. Hey, but I had a salad with that too.
What is grossing you out?
Still hate meat. Gross.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately?
Not this week, but I'm dropping off one of my brothers' shirts to get a teddy bear made out of for baby. The lady offered to make one, and it's such a sweet gesture. On the bottom of the feet it will say "Uncle Brent" and "Always with you."
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments?
Appointment tomorrow. I'm probably going to pass again on having a cervical check.
Have you / will you found out the sex?
Nope. Even closer to finding out who baby is though. :-)
Any names picked out?
Running list still, but I'm pretty dead set on Kyla Corrine and have voiced it many times to H. We'll see how that goes if it's a girl.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes?
Done.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP?

Bought/Received anything for baby? Nothing new. I did get my shower dress today and I LOVE it!

How many weeks are you? 28w today
When is your EDD? May 4th
How are you feeling? Much better this week. Emotions have calmed down a bit, but I'm still going to talk to my doctor about it.
What are you craving? All the sweets! H has gained a bit of weight since I got pregnant and he's asked me to help him with eating healthier, so I'll have to either sneak or skip on my cravings.
What is grossing you out? Anything that will give me acid reflux. It's been terrible lately!
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? We bought our stroller/car seat last week. We went with the Chicco Bravo Trio Travel System. After a 15% off coupon and a $250 gift card, we didn't have to pay much out of pocket for it.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? I have my GD test on Wednesday and I'm dreading it. Since I've gotten pregnant, my veins have been really hard to find and I end up getting poked like 10 times. I hate needles as it is, so it's complete torture for me.
Have you / will you found out the sex? Team princess!
Any names picked out? Aria Isabella
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Going to start refinishing the dresser tonight or tomorrow. I really want to get it done this week so it has time to air out and be ready for storage after my shower in a month.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? Did you guys stalk your registry? Not sure if that's a no no or not. I'm still kinda updating it as I see new things, so I happened to see that some items have been purchased. Should I try not to look?
How many weeks are you? 22 weeks
When is your EDD? June 15, 2015
How are you feeling? Pretty good for the most part. I haven't been sleeping for long stretches at night so I wake up pretty tired in the mornings. And the morning nausea is still making its daily appearance.
What are you craving? Sushi
What is grossing you out? Leafy greens
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Nope
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Next appointment is March 3rd.
Have you / will you found out the sex? Yep...a baby boy!
Any names picked out? We have it narrowed down to about 5 names.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? No progress.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? I'm starting my registry this week and I'm already a bit overwhelmed by the whole process.
Currently on Metformin and Synthroid
EDD: 6.15.15
But she did say that at 40 weeks she has to check and mark it in my chart. Which at that point she will also do a membrane sweep if I'm dilated enough. I'm good with all of that though, since that will be on my due date.

How many weeks are you? 34+2
When is your EDD? March 21
How are you feeling? Like I got hit by a truck from my chest down. We worked in the nursery yesterday for about 3 hours and smart me didn't sit down or put on any shoes. I feel pretty close to the soreness and muscle pain as after my first half marathon. I also think I've been having BH all day. My stomach is so tight. LO has been having a dance party though so I'm not too concerned. Also, sleeping is apparently optional in my house. Meaning DH gets to do it on the couch during the day and snore like a herd of elephants stampeding in bed on the nights he's home, and I don't get any. Seems fair, right?
What are you craving? Ice and chocolate. My coworkers threw a little baby shower/food day on Thursday and someone brought me a bag of ice. It was cute.
What is grossing you out? Meats
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? We finally started on the closet organization. And got shelves for the walls. We also started the exchanges from our shower so we're getting there. And I got myself a yoga ball to start stretching my hips.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Regular appt tomorrow.
Have you / will you found out the sex? Team Little Man (feeling like Big Man now...)
Any names picked out? Yep! Excited to tell everyone soon.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? We need to patch a hole in the closet to finish our organization in there and get shelves for books for the walls. Then let the laundry begin!
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? Anyone have any insight to BH feelings? I'm planning to ask my dr tomorrow but I'm unsure of if that's what I'm feeling or not.
26w1d
When is your EDD?
5/17/15
How are you feeling?
I'm doing great. Whatever it was I was feeling last week never surfaced as an illness, so I'll call that a win.
What are you craving?
Strawberries + Nutella, cucumbers
What is grossing you out?
Same ol' same ol': broccoli, eggs, most veggies
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately?
Jimothy's mom had a 94 year old family friend crochet a blanket for Vince. She described it to us tonight and um, I'm a little concerned I'm going to have to fake my excitement. I love the sentiment behind the friend making it, but uh...it's got MN Wild colors (red and green), Minnesota Twins colors (red and blue) and hockey colors from Jimothy's high school (maroon and cream). Of which we don't live in the boundary for Jim's HS, so it's not like Vince will ever play hockey for them. <---ungrateful hosebeast
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments?
The good ol' GD appointement will be on the 23rd of this month. Then we are down to every 2 weeks.
Have you / will you found out the sex?
Team Blue
Any names picked out?
Yep. Vincent Dean.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes?
I cleaned out and donated five bags to a location thrift store. I need to finally clean my wedding dress and box that up, as well as donate old bridesmaid dresses to a program that gives to girls who need a dress for proms. My parents are coming up to help us paint in the next month or so.
Baby Boy born 5.3.15
When is your EDD? 6/9
How are you feeling? Pretty good. I noticed yesterday that standing up for an extended amount of time is more uncomfortable on my back than it used to be. Time to get back into yoga, I guess.
What are you craving? Not much. Junk food, mostly.
What is grossing you out? Nothing really.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Nothing this week.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? No news here. Next appt is 2/25.
Have you / will you found out the sex? Nope.
Any names picked out? 2 boy names, with uncertain middle name, and one girl name.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? lol
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? AW: I'm having a baby shower! Yay! Most of our friends are male grad students and families/my BFF are out of state, so I wasn't expecting anything. But, a close girlfriend at school asked today if she could throw me one. I'm not too surprised, since she's also the one who threw me a bachelorette party, but I'm excited it's happening.
"You know you're in love when you don't want to fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams." - Dr. SeussBest: I had the flu last week and wasn't able to nurse one day. When DH brought Donnie to me the following day, he was so excited to see me, have me hold him, and BF. Melted my heart.
Worst: I had the flu.
Milestones: We passed 41w6d out last Thursday! That means Donnie has now been out longer than he was in! He's also taking a few assisted steps. Crazy!
My Goodreads Read Shelf
* After 22 months and 2 failed IUIs, we finally got our BFP *
DS delivered naturally at 41w6d on 4/18/14
DH and I decided I deserved a month of relaxing and prepping for the baby before the big day. I have NEVER not worked since I was 14! I am excited and nervous about this coming month.

~~BFP 7/6/14~~~EDD 3/14/15~~It's a girl!!~~
When is your EDD? 7/22/15
How are you feeling? Overall pretty good. I've got this nagging tailbone/hip pain. After sitting so much at work it starts to really flare up.
What are you craving? Still eating my fair share of hamburgers.
What is grossing you out? Not much. Fish was, and I had some last week and it was delicious. So I ate as much as safe last week.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Nope.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Had a monthly checkup last week. I was sick so Dr helped with what I could to to relieve symptoms. Heard the heartbeat, and AS scheduled for 2/25!
Have you / will you found out the sex? Yes! Starting to get excited since it is the next appointment!
Any names picked out? No. But DH keeps telling everyone LaFawnda just to see the reaction.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Still need to finish cleaning out our junk from the closet. Then I can start planning after the AS.
