How are you feeling? A lot better now.
What are you craving? Juice and Milk.
What is grossing you out? Meat.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby? We received a cute little outfit from my SIL as a "congrats" gift.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? I had my NT scan on Tuesday. The measurements went well, so we'll see how the bloodwork comes out.
When is your EDD? 8/27
Any names picked out? Care to link your BabyNames.com list? I'll link my list soon.
Are you/have you found out the gender? We will! DH will probably be away, so I'm kinda upset that we'll have to push our appt. back a week. Or...I could have the tech put the gender in an envelope and we can have our own private gender reveal.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? We;ll have to see.
Are you/have you taken maternity pics? PIPs? I will in July.
Would you ever consider having a professional photog in the room for the birth? nope.
Any advice/discoveries you have made on how to help ease aches/pains/nausea?
Eat often, even though it's hard to. That's all I"ve got right now.
Will you write a birth plan? probably something loose
Are you using an OB or a Midwife? Hospital, birthing center or home birth? Are you using a doula? OB at a hospital
Are you planning on making specific requests regarding vaccinations or treatments to baby? I haven't really researched it yet.
Any baby bumps to PIP?
Anything else you would like to share?
This pic is from our NT scan on Tuesday. Ahh THIS makes it feel the most real!
Also, I started a blog... http://babybocker.blogspot.com/ ...there are already about 20 posts. I kept a backlog of posts that didnt publish until I was 12 weeks.
How many weeks? 10 weeks on Saturday!
How are you feeling? Crummy this week. More nauseous, feeling more on the verge of puking at any moment, and starting to get headaches. I blame hormone surges.
What are you craving? Nothing really, although I polished off a whole bag of Goldfish the other day.
What is grossing you out? Everything.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby? Not recently.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Next appt is March 8th
When is your EDD? September 22
Any names picked out? Care to link your BabyNames.com list? We have some ideas. Now DH is obsessed with Danish names like Henrick and Josef.
Are you/have you found out the gender? First week of May we will find out.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? Haven't started anything, just ideas and bought a couple prints.
Are you/have you taken maternity pics? PIPs? I will sometime this summer.
Would you ever consider having a professional photog in the room for the birth? I've thought about it. I have a friend I'd consider asking, but I only want certain types of pics (no pics taken "down there"). I might be too much of a control freak to do this.
Any advice/discoveries you have made on how to help ease aches/pains/nausea?I thought I had it figured out. I started keeping crackers in my bedside table to eat before I get up in the morning. They don't really help.
Will you write a birth plan? It'll be brief and to the point. I know we need to be flexible and do what's best for the baby when the time comes.
Are you using an OB or a Midwife? Hospital, birthing center or home birth? Are you using a doula? Hospital with an OB.
Are you planning on making specific requests regarding vaccinations or treatments to baby? I want the baby in my room at all times unless there's a legit reason they can't do tests or something there. I want to hold the baby right away (unless there's something wrong, of course). I am pro-vaccination and whatever infant protocol they have in place (I want to know everything they're doing, of course).
Any baby bumps to PIP? Just pudge and bloat still. I feel like a Weeble. I'll take one after our Disney trip when I have a tan and have maybe walked off a little of this bloat.
Anything else you would like to share? We told our families last weekend, and our best friends from home. It was so much fun and I'm glad everyone knows now and can share in the excitement.
