[babyjen]

How far along are you? 16 weeks

Boy or Girl? We'll know in 2 1/2 weeks. My appt is on Oct 12th!!

Current symptoms/how are you feeling? Feeling pretty good. Much more energy. Moods are sooooo much better.

Upcoming appts: 18 week appt October 8th, Anatomy scan Oct. 12th

And anything else you’d like to share!!!! Nursery, shopping, showers, names... ? I've been doing lots of maternity clothes shopping and I'm actually LOVING it. There are some really cute things out there now. I can't wait to start shopping for the baby but I'm holding off till I know the gender. I'm planning on doing things very gender specific, like clothing, baby items, and nursery decor. I'm very excited to start decorating the nursery, I think that will be the funnest project ever.

31 weeks, today.
Girl, as far as we know.
Current symptoms/how are you feeling? Blah. Back hurts, legs kick and cramp, I've been having period-like cramps, the baby is kicking me in places I wasn't aware she could reach, I'm just generally tired and pissy. Overall, really anxious to get this over with. I'm tired of being pregnant.
Next appt is in 2 weeks at which point I will go over my birth plan with the OB one more time then sign off a copy for the records. We'll probably also move our appts to 2 weeks rather than 3.

Other than that, nothing new. We've about finished the nursery. Just need to do the carpets and arrange all the furniture.

How old is your baby now? Caitie will be 4 months old on the 3rd. I can't believe it..truly has flown by
New milestones? She's becoming quite the little chatterbox. Love to hear her cooing and making such cute noises. She can roll from tummy to back, but I've yet to see her roll from back to tummy.
How are you feeling?! I'm doing pretty good. Have had a bit of ppd, I think. But pulling out of it.

A couple of recent pictures of my sweetie...

[BeckyM]

Great thought, Carrie!!!

Dawn - Caitie is so adorable.

How far along are you? 7 weeks 5 days

Boy or Girl? Too early to know yet.

Current symptoms/how are you feeling? Still feeling pretty good. I've had a few queasy moments, and found out over the weekend chicken quesadillas aren't a good choice. My tummy just said No.

Upcoming appts: Just had another u/s yesterday evening. Have an appt next Monday to go over all the bloodwork and hope to go to monthly appts after that.

And anything else you’d like to share!!!! Nursery, shopping, showers, names... ? Other then my pg scrapbook, I haven't started anything else. Oh I have had to go bra shopping as these suckers keep getting bigger.

How old is your baby now? 6 weeks already!
New milestones? Last week she started smiling alot...so adorable
How are you feeling?! Feeling good, back to my old self
And of course anything else you'd like to add... Hearing and seeing your baby laugh and giggle for the first time...amazing!

[MamaAnna]

How old is your baby now? 1 month 1 week
New milestones? She's staying awake during the day! Now I just need to get her to sleep at night...
How are you feeling?! Fantastic now that the infection is cleared up.
And of course anything else you'd like to add... She's our little ray of sunshine and I think she gave DH baby fever.

[polarbearmama]

How far along are you? 34 weeks 6 days

Boy or Girl? Girl

Current symptoms/how are you feeling? Doing okay, been on medical leave due to high blood pressure issues and had showed some early signs of pre-eclampsia, but the pre-e symptoms seemed to have eased up even though my BP is still on the high side.

Upcoming appts: Next Friday is my 36 ultrasound and prenatal appt, she will be checking me internally for the first time--definitely not looking forward to that part, but will be curious to see if I'm dialated/effaced at all

And anything else you’d like to share!!!! Nursery, shopping, showers, names... ? We just moved into our new house last month, so still working on the nursery...have to put the crib together still, but she'll be in a pack n play in our room for awhile so I guess it's not urgent...but the nesting side of me just wants to get EVERYTHING set before she arrives

Just peeking in to check on all your updates... I love reading them!! I hope I get as lucky as you ladies someday soon! Congrats on all your beautiful little ones!

[Carrie429]

Beautiful babies (pics and sigs)!!! I am so happy to hear everyone is doing well

Tina - you snuck off on us for a while!! Glad to see you stopped in
MamaAnna - Sorry to hear you had to deal with an infection, but glad its gone.
Jen - I love maternity clothes, too - On more than one occasion I ordered more than I should have online assuming I’d hate and return at least a few times... But its all so cute!

How far along are you? I’ll be 26 weeks on Sunday Tomorrow marks double digits to my EDD!
Boy or Girl? Baby Boy!!! - Parker Andrew
Current symptoms/how are you feeling? Fantastic! BP and such is doing well, a few aches and pains but nothing I can’t deal with (though am planning to use my prenatal massage gift cert from DH soon), I love being pregnant
Upcoming appts: Tuesday Sept 29th for a routine OB
And anything else you’d like to share
GD test coming up which I’m dreading thanks to pcos, but hoping for good results. Progress is coming along with the nursery and I’m in love with how its all turning out We’re going to the dells in a little over a week again, family/maternity photos on the 17th, pumpkin patch, Halloween... And I’m hoping to get most of the nursery squared away by the end of October! I have a plan in place so I’m hoping the big stuff and most of the crafty stuff even will be done by then

[scubagirl80]

How far along are you? 22 weeks tomorrow

Boy or Girl? Baby girl

Current symptoms/how are you feeling? I'm feeling pretty good. A bit tired and acid reflux is a constant friend, but no complaints!

Upcoming appts...Just had one today, went well. I go for my next one at 25 weeks.

And anything else you’d like to share!!!! Nursery, shopping, showers, names... ? We've decided to name our little girl Alexandra Eva, but we plan on calling her Alex. DH and I are registering tomorrow and I cannot wait! We also plan to buy the crib, travel system and changing table tomorrow.

[irunpink]

How far along are you? 8 weeks, 2 days
Boy or Girl? Not sure, but it doesn't matter to me !
Current symptoms/how are you feeling? Tired/Heartburn
Upcoming appts... next week. I found out there's a clot in my placenta and am praying it doesn't grow and that it goes away fast!

And anything else you’d like to share!!!! I'm forcing myself to not buy anything until well into the second trimester, but we do have names!

[BeckyM]

Not to much to report on me this week.

How far along are you? I’ll be 10 weeks on Saturday! I'm going by the May 8th due date, if I use the earlier ones I'm already 10 weeks.

Boy or Girl? Too early to tell yet. Sometimes I feel it's a boy, other times a girl. DH thinks it's a boy, and obviously we'll be happy with which ever one we get.

Current symptoms/how are you feeling? Feeling pretty good. The tiredness seems to be easing some, and it may be due to the iron pills I'm now taking. I still don't have much of an appetite though, and that worries DH. The bbs are also not as sore. Yay!!! (DH loves that. ) Thankfully I don't have that many queasy moments (keeping my fingers tightly crossed that it doesn't change), and found that sour sugar free candies help ease it.

Upcoming appts: Wednesday, Oct 14th (our anniversary too) - OB appt. Wednesday, Oct 28th - Peri appt, which will also include the NT screening.

And anything else you’d like to share - I think I've covered it all the pg stuff. Other then scrapping stuff, we've not bought anything for the LO yet. We know his Mom is going to go crazy with the stuff, as well as her group of friends & the church group too, so our LO is going to be so spoiled. DH & I are heading away for a mini vacay this weekend (we both have Monday off) and heading down to Williamsburg VA. I can't wait!!!
