How old is baby? Just a week shy of 9 months... already
What's new in their world? WeeMan is into EVERYTHING, and has learned how to stand up using just about any piece of furniture and every toy in the house. He is now working on standing without holding on... which he loves b/c it means he has 2 hands free for toys!
How did they like the holidays? Any favorite gifts? He loved having grandma here, and really likes the pretties on the tree. He was completely disinterested in opening presents. For favorite gifts, its a toss up between the large box his dad's gift came in, and the interactive puppy-dog stuffed animal he got.
Share a recent picture. I'm a slacker mom, they are all still on the camera... I don't have anything more recent than what's in my sig.
How far along are you? According to IVF dates, 10w and some days. They've been measuring ahead, so the OB says closer to 12.
EDD? Sometime in July
How are you feeling? Any symptoms? Ha. Every symptom but the rage, bitchiness and mood swings that seem so common on the bump. Accupuncture is helping tremendously though and I have an appetite again!
Do you know the sex of the baby? Nope
We'd love to see your bump! I dont have one yet.
Moms
How old is baby? 6 months
What's new in their world? She's an expert sitter and is starting to bend over to get into the crawling position. She also "walks" if you hold her hands while she's standing up.
We thought we saw a tooth popping through on New Year's Day but I can't really seem the white bump anymore and she won't let us open her mouth to take a peek.
How did they like the holidays? Any favorite gifts? The holidays were overwhelming...too many people. She likes a lot of the block type toys she got and the stackable ring toy we all grew up with. She liked the bows on the gifts.
Share a recent picture. My siggy picture is the most recent I have; I took it the day before she turned 6 months.
Moms
How old is baby? Hah! She's 8 now - growing up way too fast
What's new in their world? I'm having a hard time keeping up with her; but the current obsession is split between Monster High and American Girl
How did they like the holidays? Any favorite gifts? She commented that she didn't get as many gifts this year; Hah! She did get 3 MH dolls AND an American Girl doll in addition to DS and Kinect games; I think plenty was spent on her
Share a recent picture. I've been horrible about uploading photos
Moms-to-Be

Do you know the sex of the baby? It's a boy for sure
Moms
How old is baby? 13, 10, 5 and the "baby" just turned 4
What's new in their world? Not much. The 10 yr old daughter is in her first year of basketball. She loves it. Her first game is later this week. The two older kids also just got honor roll for the second time this year, woo hoo!
How did they like the holidays? Any favorite gifts? Loved it. The two younger kids got bikes. The 10 yr old got a new phone since several of her games are out of state. The 13 yr old got a new game chair for his room.

What's new in their world?
-Little Mr is getting his top two front teeth, he's walking along the furniture, he and his sister carry on baby babble conversations and laugh hysterically at whatever they're talking about.
-Little Missy is crawling all over-thinking about pulling up to stand but not there yet, CRANKY-not sure why maybe teeth? Maybe we need an earlier bed time?
How did they like the holidays? Any favorite gifts?
-My mil went banana's with the toys. They love them. All of them.

May 14th, the day after Mother's Day
How are you feeling? Any symptoms?
Feeling good now... I had m/s until 18 weeks so I'm glad that is gone!
Do you know the sex of the baby?
100% girl
We'd love to see your bump!
Here is me and DH on Christmas Night.... 1/2 way there!
How far along are you? 10 Weeks today
EDD? July 31st Another Dr. appointment this week so we'll see if it changes.
How are you feeling? Any symptoms? I think I'm coming down with a cold and the extreme need for afternoon naps doesn't seem to be budging. I seem to be having the worst acne in my life (including body acne!) but otherwise I'm doing really well.
Do you know the sex of the baby? Too early, but we want to try and find out. Both old wives' tales that we've consulted so far say girl.
We'd love to see your bump! Too early. Only time I look pregnant is when I eat too much. I should have taken a picture of the 8 vials of blood they drew from me yesterday. DH saw them and understood much better why I almost passed out.
How old is baby? 8 weeks
What's new in their world? She is smiling a lot more and is getting closer to rolling over
How did they like the holidays? Any favorite gifts? She got a bunch of cute clothes from family and some toys she'll be able to use here in a month or two
Moms
How old is baby? 16 months
What's new in their world? Lots of new words. She mimics more now, and loves to dance too.
How did they like the holidays? Any favorite gifts? She is still too young to know what's going on, but liked the Christmas tree. She loves her Elmo I bought her. Another favorite is a tent/tunnel from her aunt and uncle.
Moms
How old is baby? She will be 7 months on Monday
What's new in their world? Well she is starting to try and get in the crawling form from sitting. And we are moving soon so we are getting ready for another cross country drive.
How did they like the holidays? Any favorite gifts? She loves opening presents. She caught onto the paper ripping. It was too funny. Her fav was the dog that sings when you press its paws. Not sure what its called. I loved the sled my grandma got her
Share a recent picture. Ok I had to share two..
This is her "Say What??" picture
This is her Christmas pictures
This is just full of win and good blackmail material when she's about 14.
Moms
How old is baby? 5 weeks
What's new in their world? he's starting to smile back at me and the colicky phase is coming to an end
How did they like the holidays? Any favorite gifts? he had no idea what was going on
Share a recent picture. I posted a pic when he turned one month, its further down the page.
Random complaint: Why don't people check What To Expect when they experience a new random side effect before panicking, asking thebump (of all the idiots in the world), and asking if they should call their doctor? Google is just as efficient. Buy a book, get a clue.
You just nailed down the reason why I had to finally stop lurking on the bump boards. It was a great decision for my sanity in general.
Moms to be:
How far along are you? 31 weeks! almost 32
EDD? March 1st
How are you feeling? Any symptoms? I'm recovering from food poisoning so I've had exaggerated symptoms- back pain, super tired
Do you know the sex of the baby? Boy
We'd love to see your bump! from 2 weeks ago
Better yet...why don't they just call their doctor instead of asking if they should call their doctor? They still do it once the kids are born. "Johnny is pulling on his ears and fussy, should I call the doctor??"
Moms How old is baby? 3 months + a week
What's new in their world? Today, pink eye
. Overall he's learning something new every.single.day it seems. He's big into 'talking' to us, smiling up a storm and kicking his feet.
How did they like the holidays? He was oblivious to the present part of it and was pretty overwhelmed with all the new people (we went home for the holiday).
Any favorite gifts? He's too young to really care about them, but we got some cute clothes that I'm liking.

Turned ONE December 14. Can't believe it!
E is the happiest little girl. She is so close to walking but hasn't chosen to take that one on yet. She is talking up a storm, using actual words as well as her individual little language. She is completely independent but has become quite the little cuddler these days! LOVE IT!
She loved the holidays. Seeing her cousins, aunties, uncles and grandparents. She especially loved the little cousins her size. She loves her new princess ball pit and princess keyboard.
Here's a bonus picture with all three of us. It's been a while....will delete soon!
