Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? I had ordered everything that we still needed from our registry a couple of weeks ago and it all came in last week. I messed up and completely forgot to buy more 0-3 months clothes and when putting away all the clothes, I realized she only had 2 onesies! So, we bought more 0-3 months clothes yesterday.

LO age: 3 weeks!
Best of week: LO definitely smiled at me this morning!! I always talk to her right before she nurses and she looked right in my eyes and smiled a huge smile twice!
Worst part of week: I am getting so frustrated with DH... I'm trying to control my frustration but every time he comes home from work he barely helps me. If he talks DD he lays on the couch and makes me get him every thing, cook dinner, feed her, clean dinner, change her. Basically he relieves me of holding her for 15 minutes. Then at night he won't come to bed until 2 bc he stays up to feed her and hold that over my head. I keep telling him I can handle waking up at 2 & 5 but he doesn't care.
Sorry rant......
Milestones: 1st Easter was great and she smiled!!

How are you feeling? A lot better this week. I relaxed the entire weekend which really helped with the fatigue.

Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? My appt last Monday went well. He is now 2lbs 6oz. Next one is 4/20
Have you / will you found out the sex? Boy!
Any names picked out? Reid
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? We are finally clearing out all the crap that's in it. Hopefully it will start looking like a nursery soon.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? DH is being awesome. He has taken up walking the dogs 100%, doing dishes and all the laundry. He is also doing most of the grocery shopping. I asked if he needed help with the dishes yesterday, and he said I already had a job and that was taking care of our baby and relaxing. My heart totally melted. It was so nice to hear especially after everything the last couple of weeks.

Best part of your week?
They are just amazing. Every day brings another new skill or behavior. finding toes, jumping in the jumparoo, sitting up... and they are on night 4 in their cribs!
Worst part of your week?
They have been pretty under the weather, but seem to be on the mend, thank goodness!
Milestones?
Still no real reliable rolling, but the wiggle worms can get themselves turned all around, and can even scoot forward/backward!
PIP those kiddos!
coming soon.
After 2 years of TTC, lots of tests, and a Hysteroscopy/Laparoscopy to remove several polyps,

How are you feeling? Tired...so...very...tired.
What are you craving? Orange Fanta.
What is grossing you out? Nothing at the moment.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Dh's aunt and uncle brought some stuff over this weekend (pack and play, car seat, bouncy seat, play mat) for us to look at. Most of it will probably stay at the IL's house so they have things there.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Growth u/s last week estimates baby boy to be about 3lbs! He's still feet first at this point though so hopefully he's not too stubborn and flips soon. Next appointment is on 4/14.

Any names picked out? No change.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? No change.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? Just a quick question...for you ladies that have already given birth, did your doctor give you any restrictions on stairs after labor?
I ask because we live in an apartment on the third floor and MIL told me that after her natural birth with my DH, her doctor told her no stairs for two weeks afterwards.

Adalyn is 18 months, Thomas is 10 weeks.
Best part: Thomas really smiles and coos at me right now, he's such a cute little flirt. We've been chattin.
Worst part: My poor girl caught a cold Friday AND was popping a canine through (her last one, thank god). She's been miserable.
Milestones: Nothing major, Adalyn is close to her language explosion. I can't wait, although I'll miss the gibberish.
Best part of your week? He's more alert during the days and holding his head up to look around.
Worst part of your week? Determining that BF doesn't work for us. He has an awesome latch but falls asleep 3 min in. We have tried undressing him, wet wash cloths and even ice and this boy doesn't care. We are now a pumping and bottle feeding family. Kind of heartbreaking for me but he is doing so well now and is currently on his 5th hour of sleep for the night. Woohoo!
Milestones? Sleeping better and taking a bottle.
PIP those kiddos! His Easter outfit.
Best part of your week? Her sleeping 6 hours straight!
Worst part of your week? Eating onions and forgetting about it = screaming baby after a feeding.
Milestones? All of the smiles and coo's. It's so adorable. I could talk to her for hours. She's also really tuning into daddy. The minute he talks, she's looking around for him, locks her eyes on him and smiles.
PIP those kiddos!
