Any new symptoms? Any symptoms that are ongoing? Just tired and achy at this point...

Do you know the sex of your baby(ies)? If no, will you find out? Girl
Any big milestones coming up this month? Other than the birth of my daughter, no.

Are you and your H/SO doing anything special for Valentine's day? Nope, I'll be recouping from a c-section.
How old is LO? She turned 7 months on Saturday.
What new skills or accomplishments has LO achieved recently? She finally rolled back to belly Monday night and has been showing off that she can do it ever since. She also held my hands and pulled up yesterday. She's been scooting backwards a bit as well.
Any big milestones coming up this month? Nothing that I can predict. I'm going to see if we can get her an appointment with the doctor to get her ears pierced.
Any issues you're running into? (sleepless nights, illness, etc.) She's just getting over a cold. She's also asserting her opinion and it's noisy...especially at bedtime.
Are you and your H/SO doing anything special for Valentine's day? With or without LO? We're not Valentine's Day people. We do have a tradition of getting take out from a restaurant we both like. We'll probably do dinner after DD goes to bed.
Share a new picture or two.
I love this one and the one in my siggy.
How old is LO? 17 months.
What new skills or accomplishments has LO achieved recently? She can completely take off all of her clothes and diaper by herself now. And she's quick.
Any big milestones coming up this month? She's learning lots of new words.
Any issues you're running into? (sleepless nights, illness, etc.) No.
Are you and your H/SO doing anything special for Valentine's day? With or without LO? Nah, DH is deployed so it will just be LO and myself. We'll probably bake some cupcakes.
Moms
How old is LO? 11.5 months
What new skills or accomplishments has LO achieved recently? He started playing catch with DH the other day.
Any big milestones coming up this month? Birthday **sniffle**
Any issues you're running into? (sleepless nights, illness, etc.) He's really, really sick right now. 103.5 fever, double ear infection, chest cold. Poor little guy is too congested to even nurse so I'm giving him pedialyte by eye dropper.
Are you and your H/SO doing anything special for Valentine's day? With or without LO? The OG Winter Ball is 2/10, so we're going to that, without DS obviously. Not exactly Valentine's, but close enough.
Share a new picture or two. I will later. I haven't taken any since he's been so sick.
Moms
How old is LO? L is 8
What new skills or accomplishments has LO achieved recently? Nothing new.
Any big milestones coming up this month? Nope.
Any issues you're running into? She's learning the hard way about not lying to Mommy and Daddy; we always seem to know when she is lying and has had restrictions as result. Which definitely get her attention.
Are you and your H/SO doing anything special for Valentine's day? With or without LO? No; likelihood is that K will be gone that day. I'll probably do a pizza dinner with L that night - she PPH pizza like nobody's business. LoL

What new skills or accomplishments has LO achieved recently?
He is learning to use his jumper and loves it.
Any big milestones coming up this month?
Not that I can predict.
Any issues you're running into? (sleepless nights, illness, etc.)
He thinks he should be up at least an hour at each night feeding, has his first cold complete with hives. His Pediatrician will decide at his 4month checkup if he is getting a MRI because of the hemangioma on the side of his face.
Are you and your H/SO doing anything special for Valentine's day? With or without LO?
C is away at school, but is only a few hours away, so we are going to do Vday when he gets his 3 day for Presidents day. Now we just have to decide if we are going to stay in Columbia or go down to Charleston...

How old is LO? 6.5 months
What new skills or accomplishments has LO achieved recently? She is doing great at sitting up on her own. She also tried to use her tub to stand up during bath time the other night.....oh boy!
Any big milestones coming up this month? Not really. Just looking forward to seeing her little personality continue to develop.
Any issues you're running into? (sleepless nights, illness, etc.) She is a great sleeper, but we really need to work on getting her to bed earlier. She is quite a night owl!
Are you and your H/SO doing anything special for Valentine's day? With or without LO? Eh, not too sure yet. My sister lives with us, so maybe she will watch C so we can go out to dinner or something.

This is Charlotte too! I am amazed at how high her voice can get haha

Great to see your Sophia, she's getting so big!
Moms
How old is LO? About 4 mos
What new skills or accomplishments has LO achieved recently? He's figured out how to make all sorts of noises, rolled b->f, figured out his legs can kick things
Any big milestones coming up this month? Not that come to mind. He's already had his 4 month shots, glad to have that 'milestone' out of the way (he got a fever to go with the crankies)
Any issues you're running into? (sleepless nights, illness, etc.) 4 month wakeful period combined with him still being on Eastern Time (from a visit to my ILs in Jan) is kicking my butt sleep wise. Otherwise he's doing pretty good.
Are you and your H/SO doing anything special for Valentine's day? With or without LO? We aren't big into V-day. No plans.

What new skills or accomplishments has LO achieved recently? She rolled from her back to her belly last night and then twice this morning.

Any new symptoms? Any symptoms that are ongoing? Back pain, but that's nothing new

How old is LO?
DD#1 is 20 months old
DD#2 is 8 1/2 weeks old
What new skills or accomplishments has LO achieved recently? DD#1 has mastered being cute at all times. Except the times she throws insane monster baby fits. She takes one nap during the day and hates it. She knows 55 signs and around 40 words. Her favorite word is "hummus" and her favorite sign is "bird". She also made up her own sign for "Micky Mouse". She tilts her head side to side while sticking out her butt. She's adorable. Crazy. But adorable.
DD#2 is smiling back more and more and is very vocal. I love her "goo's". She's still sleeping through the night and wakes up around 930 or 10. She's lazy. I love it.
Any big milestones coming up this month? I would imagine more words for DD1 and more awake time for DD2
Any issues you're running into? (sleepless nights, illness, etc.) Both of the girls have colds since Sunday, but they don't seem too bad, thank you Lord!
Are you and your H/SO doing anything special for Valentine's day? With or without LO? I will make some cards from the girls for DH. I'm planning a surprise date for next monday as an early V-day. I'm just not sure what we're going to do lol. But we have a babysitter coming! Oh and on actual Valentines day, DH is coming to my MOPs meeting to be a part of one of the games we are playing
Share a new picture or two. Sorry no pics. But those of you who are my FB friends can attest to how cute my girls are
Moms-to-Be
How far along are you? What's your EDD?
36 weeks! Woo HOOOOO! I have 2 doctors that disagree on this-- One says February 20th, the other says March 1st. My cycle was crazy before I got pregnant.
Any new symptoms? Any symptoms that are ongoing?
I'm starting to feel crampy and extremely cranky the past few days.
What size fruit or object is your baby this week?
as far as I know, he's a baby
jk jk... ummmm I think some kind of squash or something.
Do you know the sex of your baby(ies)? If no, will you find out?
Boy! He decided to go spread eagle on us during the ultrasound
Any big milestones coming up this month?
Hopefully giving birth!!
Have you registered? Do you have a theme for baby's room?
I registered, but no one got us anything off of our registry. We had a small shower here and got mostly diapers (which I was thrilled about trust me! Those suckers are expensive!).
Are you and your H/SO doing anything special for Valentine's day?
We made reservations for the restaurant at the golf course on base, one of those dinners in courses-- choose your entree but everything else is the same. I'm actually pretty excited since this is the first Valentine's day we get together in 5 years
Share a bump pic.
taken today! I baked all day...
You can't really see the bedding here and the "guess" is typed on the wall (letters are actually there) - we're not sharing the name to anyone (posted on FB) and that's why it's there.
Styme,
It's so totally awesome to see you posting on this thread about your pregnancy.
FWIW, my 1st tri symptoms lessened big time at 9 weeks and were pretty much gone at 10 weeks. I completely understand your nerves, but I'm keeping my FX that its just the placenta taking over.
