Best part of your week? Surviving my first week back to work.
Worst part of your week? LO seems to be going thru a sleep regression. We are tired!
Milestones? He rolled over this weekend!
PIP those kiddos!
How many weeks are you? 18w+5
When is your EDD? July 22
How are you feeling? Really good. I figured out the tailbone pain was actually my hip not aligning. Yoga has helped me to stretch everything, and now it pops back into place to relieve the pain!
What are you craving? nothing in particular, but lots of non-healthy food.
What is grossing you out? the raw meat in our fridge. I told DH he has to get rid of it.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Yes! my mom and I were visiting family this weekend. We found a bassinet that has been in the family for 100 years. My grandpa let me have it for the baby! My Aunt and Cousin also each gave an outfit to. So those were the first baby gifts we've received.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Wednesday is our AS! Eek!
Have you / will you found out the sex? hopefully this week!
Any names picked out? nope, just waiting to find out the gender at this point.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? no progress on this front.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? It is a snow day for us. DH and I decided instead of eating the same thing for lunch and dinner we would walk to Subway which is about a quarter mile away. It was quite humorous watching me try to find warm clothes to fit my bump for the 28 degree walk. Then I was freaked out the whole time that I would slip and fall. I don't know how you ladies do it up north.

Worst: I swear my kid will never be healthy again. He's got another cold.

Here he is this morning. He didn't want me feeding him anymore. So he had eggs and toast. DH and I are brilliant and bought him a toy drum. LOL

What are you craving? Still brownies.
What is grossing you out? Nothing, although trying to stay away from marinara sauce. It's been giving me terrible acid reflux.

How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Finished the dresser. I ordered some swatches of fabric to see if they match what I already have, so once I get that all finalized, I'll start on the bedding.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? We attended a breastfeeding class and it was great. Even H, who was dreading it, said it was very informative and he didn't realize how much went into it. I'm really hoping I can breastfeed since I've had a reduction and I'm considering getting in touch with a lactation consultant. We'll see.
Best part of your week? Lots of snuggles
Worst part of your week? Growth spurt
Milestones? Ped appointment this week and he's 13lbs 4oz and 24in. That's over 3lbs and 3in since birth.

Already Mommies:
LOs Age(s): 18 months
Best part of your week? Getting some extra time together
Worst part of your week? Directly related to A: She had a total meltdown for 20 minutes on Saturday, which she hasn't done since she was little. I still don't know what happened. Not directly related to A: DH had two anaphylactic reactions while on an airplane coming home from a business trip. Thank God he had his EpiPens with him and was okay, but the thought of what could have happened if he wasn't okay and him missing out on raising our kids is one of the scariest things ever.
Milestones? She's pretending a lot more often, which is so cool to see.
Team Green to Team Pink! Baby A born
Here comes 2u2! Team Green to Team Blue! Baby L born
When is your EDD? June 9
How are you feeling? Pretty good. Stressed out, but not too uncomfortable.
What are you craving? Sugar
What is grossing you out? Nothing really. Except DH, who has a really gross cold. I'm over all the hacking and snorting that's happening in our house right now.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Not for the baby, but I had to go out and buy a bunch of maternity shirts this weekend. I got sick of pulling down my pre-pregnancy shirts.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Regular monthly appointment Wednesday, then we go to 2-week appointments. I can't believe it.
Have you / will you found out the sex? No
Any names picked out? I think we're pretty set on names. We have one girl and one boy name we both love.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Nothing new, but it looks like we'll be moving out of the moldy apartment this weekend, so we should be able to do some rearranging in the guest room/nursery as we set our lives back up in the new place.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? We started a registry this weekend. It was nice to get it started, but so overwhelming.

Best part of your week?
We had another successful family field trip. Now if only this weather would warm up, I might be inspired to do some mall walking. But with negative temps, I am staying home, thankyouverymuch.
Worst part of your week?
We've been experiencing some sleep difficulty lately. Both have been up for a decent chunk I'm the middle of the night. No fun.
Milestones?
both have found their thumbs, and G loves to roll into his side. He wiggles all over, and will end up somewhere completely different than when he started. So cute. Both are sitting up so well with just a little support.
PIP those kiddos!

Zoey and Garrett born 10/24/14 at 36+3
When is your EDD? May
How are you feeling? Ok. Hip pain, peeing every couple hours at night, but nothing too major.
What are you craving? Cake
What is grossing you out? I just have no desire to cook
Bought anything for baby? We should be getting the nursery rug today. It's beautiful and goes great with our theme!
Appointments- yesterday was regular check up. All is well. Belly grew another 2cm, so measuring 32 weeks. Doc said I'm doing great. Next one is in 2 weeks and that's a pretty big one- growth scan, glucose test, rrhogam, tda.p. I can't believe I'll be 28 weeks soon!
Both boys
I think we're set on names, but not so much I'm comfortable monogramming anything.
Nursery is getting there.
For Mommies-to-be:
How many weeks are you? 36+3
When is your EDD? March 21
How are you feeling? Tired. Otherwise ok. But 30 min sleep intervals are killing me.
What are you craving? Ice. And Twizzlers. I've been resisting my urge to buy them but I'm giving in tonight.
What is grossing you out? Meats still. Don't think this will change.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Finished shopping yesterday! It was a whirlwind day but we ended up spending just under $300 for over $1200 worth of stuff. I'm excited to get home and organize it tonight and to get the online purchases in the mail over the next week.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Regular appointment today and every week from here on out. Had a check last Thursday and my cervix was high and closed. Expecting the same today....
Have you / will you found out the sex? Little man!
Any names picked out? Yes. The guesses from my family have started coming in and even though we didn't pick a unique name, no one has even come close.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Almost done, less sheets on the crib and hanging small shelves and his name which will go up tonight so the nails are there, but will come down and be hidden for a few more weeks.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? I'm going to start bargaining at my appointment this afternoon for induction by the 29th. I've got in my head that this child is cozy and not coming by his due date. My practice goes 10 days out which means induction on the 31st which leads to high probability of an April 1st baby which I really don't want. I figure if I go in the 29th and labor on the 30th, he'll for sure have a March birthday.
