Re: Mommy & mommy 2 be!
Best part of the week: We started supplementing formula at night and she actually sleeps a few hour stretches. GLORIOUS!!
Worst part of the week: In one night, our newly renovated basement flooded from our washing machine over flowing, our dog then had a seizure that lasted about 6 minutes and all on Sunday night which was our last night before DH went back to work.
Milestones: She is having no problem switching from bottles to breast. Makes life very easy
Pip: my litte morning snoozer. She always eats and falls asleep in 20 minutes every morning.

Have you bought/received anything for baby lately? Holy hell, where to begin? I had a surprise shower Friday night, we bought some things at BBB Saturday, and have listed out what else we need.
Appointments? Regular check with OB tomorrow. Debating about traveling 2 hours one way this weekend for Mr's bday trip.
Both boys
Names have been confirmed and wall monograms ordered.
Nursery is coming along. Theme is whales, blues and the nursery prints are in English snd German. I'll post pics once we get the monograms.
We had our hospital tour yesterday and I am feeling like this is surreal. I'm having trouble grasping the fact we will have 2 babies very soon.
When is your EDD? 7/22/15
How are you feeling? Stressed due to life happening, but pregnancy is going well. Body is feeling up to the task at the moment.
What are you craving? anything I shouldn't have. I really with I craved a salad.
What is grossing you out? not much
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? A cousin sent us a baby hockey jersey for the Dallas Stars! So cute, and thoughtful of them!

How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? I've got an idea and ordering fabric I picked this week.

Anything else you would like to add or PIP? I feel like such a slacker when it comes to my baby registry. I haven't put a single thing on it so far. I log onto the site with the best intentions but then I just get overwhelmed by it all. My first baby shower is less than a month away so I am definitely feeling the pressure to get it done. Maybe tonight will be the night...if I can stay awake long enough, lol.

Try just starting with the big items and then work your way to smaller things.

Best: We were at a 2nd birthday party for our friend's little girl and Donnie had a blast on all the toys. It was so fun to watch him.
Worst: I don't think we've had one!
Milestones: We're one week into weaning both into WCM, off of nursing before naps, and changing nap routine. He's doing fantastic!
Here he is on some toys at the birthday party.
Unrelated.......I started charting again since I'm starting to wean and am hoping to either O or get AF soon! TTC #2 is in full swing!

When is your EDD? 6/25
How are you feeling? I feel much better today. I'm trying to remain calm, and just remember baby is okay. I'm totally emotional and overwhelmed at times.
What are you craving? Nothing really right now.
What is grossing you out? Lots of foods. I can't even list them.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? My mom flew down here since I was in the hospital and brought a blanket and couple of toys. It was so good to see her! I'm really glad she came and was sad that she left today.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Glucose test and follow up from this weekend on Monday.
Have you / will you found out the sex? Boy!
Any names picked out? Have a first name. Still working on the middle.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Because of this weekend, I'm starting to feel like I need to get to working on the nursery. We are cleaning out a lot closets and everything to make room.
@Sewilson33 Glad to hear your dog is okay. I would be so scared too!
@sweetpotato123 Can't believe how close you are getting!
@OohSparkly13 We did the big stuff first. Then we left when we got overwhelmed, and completed the other stuff another day. I also added things online to cut back on everything in the store.
@JennaHack OOH! Baby number 2! How exciting'

When is your EDD? May 17
How are you feeling? I am definitely exhausted by the end of the day and find as many opportunities to sit throughout the day. I feel like the world's laziest teacher because I'm normally the one down on the floor, with the kids. But I figure it's only for a couple of months...and it won't really be hurting them if I'm sitting on a chair/at a desk vs. on the floor. My feet are starting to swell by evening. He's lodged something up in my right rib, so I definitely need to manipulate his position sometimes to be able to sit at my desk. But nothing that I can't live with on a day to day basis.
What are you craving? All the food. I just want to eat.
What is grossing you out? There's a person at work who's perfume sends me over the edge. Thankfully, I have very few interactions with her through the day, but I can't breath when I know I'm going to be walking within 10 feet of where she is/has been.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? We bought a dresser for the nursery yesterday. I've been hoarding gift cards to Target that we used. Combined with receiving our 15% off registry completion code and the 5% red card discount, we paid $85 out of pocket for the dresser, which retails for $300.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? I have a regular OB appointment on Thursday.
Have you / will you found out the sex? Yep!
Any names picked out? Vincent
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? It's all painted. Curtains and crib skirt are done. The dresser is being put together by Jimothy and my FIL as I type this. Crib will be purchased Thursday and probably assembled this weekend. We have a baby room IN. OUR. HOUSE.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? He had a lazy few days last week and I was a basket case. My IF brain came raging out full force and I was about 1.2 seconds from calling my therapist and my OB about 140,323 times. But I always talked myself down because he was moving, it just wasn't good enough for me. Then I would convince myself that I wasn't really feeling him and I was imagining it all. I'm still not convinced that we'll get a baby to bring home. I've been trying to enjoy it as much as we can, because this is likely the only time I'll get to be pregnant, but in the back of my brain, I'm constantly waiting for the "you deserve nothing/you're destined to be a family of two" shoe to drop.

How are you feeling? Good but tired. We went on vacation last week and I ended up getting the stomach flu the 2nd night in and then got a cold the day before coming home. It was rough and I was so happy to be home! Cold is just about gone, so hopefully it doesn't linger for too much longer.
What are you craving? Nothing.
What is grossing you out? Nothing.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? My 2nd cousin gifted us a diaper pail and one of H's friends gave us some sleepers, a teething necklace, paci's, and some breastfeeding accessories. I'm hoping to order the rest of the needed items from my registry this week.

How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Still need to work on the bedding. I was hoping to get started on it this past weekend, but since I got sick, all I did was lay in bed. Maybe I'll get to it this weekend, but we've got a lot going on so doubtful.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP?
