Re: Mommy and Mommy 2b Monday!
How many weeks are you?
10W0d we think
When is your EDD?
December 7th we think
How are you feeling?
pretty good, a little crampy last night and this morning, but other wise good, rain last night seems to have helped my allergies.
What are you craving?
nothing
What is grossing you out?
most food sounds pretty unappealing to me right now
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately?
nothing
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments?
dating ultrasound on thursday to confirm or change our due date (if it changed it would be earlier)
Have you / will you found out the sex?
we will find out
Any names picked out?
running lists
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes?
no progress. this is tied to finishing our basement, a project that we're combining with replacing all the windows in the house, we're waiting on a final estimate on the windows to submit to the bank.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP?
When is your EDD? July 22
How are you feeling? I had a cold all last week. Still trying to get all the crud out of my nose and chest. Definitely on the mend, but yuck.
What are you craving? all the sweets
What is grossing you out? not much
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Our family threw us a shower this weekend. We asked that everyone bring a book, so she has a great start to a library now! Also got the infant carrier with snap in stroller, and a high chair. Yikes!
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Tomorrow. then every two weeks. Eek. Also found out I passed my GTT, so no diabetes for me. Yay!
Have you / will you found out the sex? Team Pink!
Any names picked out? Yes! Finally. Olivia Catherine
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? It will be painted next week, then we can start to put it together. Yay!
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? DH and I were talking and I mentioned toddlers. He's like "I don't even know what a toddler is"; so I said it is like my nephew (who is 2). So then he says "Really, when do they become a baby then?". Totally thought toddlers were considered younger than babies/infants. I love the innocence.

Best: Mother's Day yesterday was great!
Worst: Saturday he didn't think napping was a good idea.
Milestones: This big guy took his first unassisted steps this week! Since then, he's been walking more and more!
Here's the big guy on Saturday and yesterday.

* After 22 months and 2 failed IUIs, we finally got our BFP *
DS delivered naturally at 41w6d on 4/18/14
When is your EDD? June 9
How are you feeling? Pretty good. I started seeing a chiropractor, so I'm sleeping a little better with less back/rib pain.
What are you craving? All the food, at the moment. I also had Indian food for dinner last night for the first time in ages, and it was fantastic.
What is grossing you out? Nothing really
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? We used our registry completion coupon at BBB on Saturday. We got some boppy covers, a diaper pail and liners, some wipes, an A&A wearable blanket, a sleeper, a changing pad cover, and some of those waterproof boppy pads I've heard such good things about. There's a Container Store in the same shopping center, so we also grabbed some drawer organization stuff there. Also on Saturday was a big cloth diaper consignment sale, and we got a bunch of stuff: 6 covers (one or two of which might need new elastic), 10-12 inserts, some snappis, and 4 changing pads for $90.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Next weekly is tomorrow morning. Also doing GBS test then
Have you / will you found out the sex? No
Any names picked out? yes
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? It's filling up with baby stuff. DH is bugging me now to go start working on the dresser/changing table, so I may actually have some progress to report next week!
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? I turned in my Ph.D. thesis today! Woo! Now baby just needs to stay put until after I defend it next week...

Worst part of your week? LO decided that he hated the bottles we've been using for formula so we've now switched to Dr Browns.
Milestones? A couple of 8 hr nights but very consistently doing 6-7 hrs every night.
PIP those kiddos! From my Mother's Day photo shoot - a gift from DH.
Best part of week: Mother's Day was great! Brunch with the in laws and then we took a nap with Sophia at home.
Worst part of week: Nothing really
Milestones: we made it 2 months breastfeeding!!

Already Mommies:
LOs Age(s): 1 week!
Best part of your week? Mother's Day which was also my birthday, and my family being in town. My mom, dad, sister and BIL came. They all got to hold him this weekend since he is now allowed to wear clothes! It was so great to see how much they love him.
Worst part of your week? Poor little guy for an IV in his head before they decided he didn't need one anymore. Also, my family leaving today. I became a total emotional basket case about Reid being in the nicu when they left.
Milestones? He is now able to maintain his own body temperature, no longer needs an IV or fluids, and they changed his cover to his "insulator." He is now able to wear clothes and will start taking a bottle/breastfeeding this week.
PIP those kiddos!

Mother's Day. I still can't believe these nuggets are MINE! I'm lucky, for sure.
Worst part of your week?
I had a nasty cold & Z is gaining chompers. I'm not ready for teething.
Milestones?
Cutting Z's first tooth, and we are getting better at rolling to get where we want to be!

LOs Age(s):
10 days
Best part of your week?
All of it? I still can't believe he's here and he's ours. I feel like I'm getting to play pretend with someone else's baby.
Worst part of your week?
Mother's Day was bittersweet for me. I spent the day going between crying for all my suckers who are still waiting/haven't/won't get to experience this...and crying because I'm so damn grateful to be one of the "lucky" ones to get a happy ending.
Milestones?
Is there anything special a 10 day old shall be doing? I would say being able to pump more than a dropperful of breast milk was pretty damn exciting. My breast reduction, combined with pre-eclampsia/swelling and him being 2 weeks early, have meant very little in the way of actually feeding him from the boob. My supply is next to nothing, but I've been able to squeeze out enough to get him about a bottle a day.

Be proud of your happy ending.
I'm also still so happy for you! He is so handsome, and you look great!
