Re: Mommy & Mommy 2 b Monday!
Best part of week: She slept for 6 hours straight last night!! Craziness!!
Worst part of week: Once again I didn't get to enjoy my weekend with DH bc his Dad keeps coming over and making him do work around the house. I'm grateful that projects are getting finished but I HATE that no one thinks that I might want an afternoon off so I can do errands or GASP get a pedicure! I just want 2 hours but I haven't gotten it yet.
Milestones: We are in the cooing stage and I can carry a full cooing conversation with Sophie. Usually ends in her giggling at me but it's magical.
Pip: snuggling with both my babies furry and human

What are you craving? anything salty, I just picked up a bag of sea salt and vinegar chips for an afternoon snack
What is grossing you out? meats, mostly chicken, which is what I planned for dinner, not sure how that'll go
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? I did order some new bras ($8.99 each) I'm to the point of needing something to sleep in with some support and my tanks with the built-in bars are too tight. my slection of ragular bras is dwindling too.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? First appointment next monday, this is suppose to be the full physical appointment, should H come with me?
Have you / will you found out the sex? we will find out
Any names picked out? I have lists
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? well plans for our renovation are moving, and we purchased a new mattress and box spring for what my mother has dubbed the "grandma suite".
Anything else you would like to add or PIP?
Best: We have my old bed pillow in the living room because Donnie loves playing with it. His favorite game is pulling it out from under your head so he can lay on it. Makes me laugh every time. Also, my boobs are officially dried up! It was an uncomfortable week, but I'm through it! And on top of that? FF said I O'd last Monday! We didn't have the best timing, but there's still a chance!
Worst: Haven't had one!
Milestones: I don't think there's really been anything new this week.
He gets in and out of this chair all day long.

What are you craving? chocolate. As always

Already Mommies:
LOs Age(s): 20.5 months
Best part of your week? A has been super cuddly and it's been great since that's not normally how she is.
Worst part of your week? I don't know if she can sense that something is up/changing really soon, but she's been getting really upset with DH and/or I leave, even if she's with people that she knows well.
Milestones? She's recently had another word explosion. I've given up keeping track but she she must have between 150-200 words now and she's constantly pointing at things and saying what they are. It's so cool to have her communicating like that with us.
Team Green to Team Pink! Baby A born
Here comes 2u2! Team Green to Team Blue! Baby L born
When is your EDD? May 17
How are you feeling? Overall, I'm fine. If it wasn't for the numbness in my fingers, I'd be willing to do this for a while...
What are you craving? Ankles?
What is grossing you out? Not much.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? No, but we have our last shower coming up this weekend.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Regular weekly check today. Blood pressure was high (128/100), but came down when they re-checked after laying on my side for 5 minutes (114/78). She ran bloodwork/urine sample just to get a baseline/check out if there's more going on with pre-e. She's restricting me to the couch once I get home from work unless the bloodwork shows something is off.
Have you / will you found out the sex? It's a boy. But I'm paranoid he's going to come out a girl.
Any names picked out? Vincent Dean
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Still nothing on the walls, but I moved a cube organizer into the room this weekend that was downstairs.
