Hey girls! It's update time. What's going on with everyone? Any new pictures to share?
I feel like I hardly ever have any time to get on here anymore. I read all the time, but I never have two hands to type. That means I hardly ever reply until I get the chance to do a whole bunch at once. Sorry for flooding the board with my replies when I do!
Things here are going well. Brady will be 8 weeks old tomorrow. It's hard to believe! He just learned to smile in the last week or so. It's so darn cute! Now he's making little cooing noises and trying to talk back to us. It seriously can melt your heart. I'm not looking forward to his 2 month appointment next week because he'll be getting shots. But I do want to know what he weighs. I did the whole get on the scale and then get on with him, and I think he's around 9 pounds now! Way to chunk up, buddy!
He's so good during the day. He's very happy. Night time is definitely his hardest time of the day. He gets cranky from about 6pm until 10pm when he goes to bed. We can usually get him to sleep from 10-2, 3-5, and 6-8. Then there are the nights where he refuses to go back to sleep. Oh so fun!
Here are a couple recent pics
Here's a video I took today that shows him smiling and trying to talk. He loves his changing table! Sorry for the stupid baby talk I'm doing. I sound so dumb!

I felt her kick my hand for the first time on Sunday - I yelled for Jeff so he could feel as well but he didn't hear me. Oo she loves classical music so much! I have her listen to it for awhile every night - she like dances in there the whole time - so cute!

Aww Brady's such a cutie!
Siera is 6 mos, 3 wks now and is trying to crawl. She doesn't sit still anywhere - bouncer, jumper, floor - for longer than 5 minutes. I started school last week so now I'm only home with her during the day and DH stays with her at night. She's eating like a little piggy and I can't wait to see how much she weighs (her next appt is Oct. 6).
I try to get pics of her smiling but she makes THIS face every time I bring out the camera
She likes to watch soccer with Daddy

Thank you for starting this thread! I also read here sometimes but have been really bad about it lately. I feel like I've missed so much!
Nathan turned 4 months on Sunday. He is getting so big! He had his appointment and he's now 14 lbs (50th percentile), 25 3/4" tall (75%) so he's a tall, thin little man! They upped his reflux medicine and that seems to be working so that's good. Things are so great, he's holding his head up all the time and I think he's trying to sit up on his own now. He grabs at his toys (and my hair) and loves to play with things now.
Here are some pictures:

Zane will be 8 months next week!!!!!  Time goes by too fast. He's crawling, pulling up, wanting to walk, talking but not knowing what he's saying/association wrong still but he does say mama  He's got 2 teeth. And he's an awful sleeper :'( I wish he would be/do better!!! It's sooooooooooo hard, I'm soooooooooooooo tired!!!

Little Ana is 5.5 months old. At 5 months she was 27" (87th) and 12lb5 (11th) so she has had to have some tests to see if theres a reason or if shes just skinny. We have some special cereals and she seems to be gaining.
She is a livewire, she is rolling, up on all fours and "about" crawling, she can do 4 moves, then nosedives. She sleeps 10-8 9.30-11 and 15-17.30. Her latest goal is standing up, I´ve caught her in her cot a couple of times trying to pull herself up.
We sure have some cute babies/bellies on our page!!

Love all the updates! Lauren I've been meaning to send you a PM (mostly about your time in the hospital), but haven't seen you around so I didn't want to be a bother! Expect some questions soon!
Not much to update for me except that I'm over 25 weeks  I had posted other threads about choosing our names (Addison or Nathan) and finalizing the nursery. Other than that, here is my 25 week pic.

I'm 23 weeks and feeling swell! My tailbone has still hurt on and off, but not as consistently as before, so I am thankful for that. I have noticed my feet and ankles swelling if I am on my feet a lot in the heat (long walks or being up and about at the office) or if I wear heels for too long, and my energy level has gone done a smidgen, but still all in all I feel fantastic. Feeling baby move more and more, so I'm glad he or she is big enough now to kick AROUND this darn anterior placenta rather than directly into it!
Here's a belly photo I took about half a week ago:

I love reading everyone's updates. All the babies are so adorable and getting so big.
Not much to report on me. I'm 28 weeks 4 days today. I passed my 1 hr glucose test, YAY! I'm down to going to the OB every 3 weeks now. It just seems like the time is flying by now. Here's a recent belly shot taken at 27 weeks.

I'm 29 weeks now and currently in the middle of my 3 hour glucose test, joy joy. Feeling like crap right now but that is probably from the drink and not eating since dinner last night, 2 more blood draws until I can eat. I'm allowed to come home inbetween so that helps, playing with the kitten helps keep my mind off how I'm feeling right now  Otherwise I'm feeling good. My first baby shower is this weekend and we are so excited! 29 week belly pic

I love the update thread!! It is so nice to hear how everyone is doing in one place!!
All the babies are getting so big and are waaaayyyy to adorable  I can't wait until my baby girl comes and I can post pics of her for you guys!!
Erin - your shower looked like lots of fun !! Mine is at the end of October and I can't wait, I feel so anxious not having stuff that I still need!!!
As for me, I am 26 weeks 1 day! Had my regular check up yesterday and am measuring right on track!! Past my GD 1hr test with flying colours (they want you below 7.3 and I was at 3.6 or something like that, the doctor was like "there is no way you are diabetic  ) I am feeling good, started my prenatal yoga class last night and am loving it!!! I am down in double digits now!!!
Here is a belly pic from today, 26 weeks 1 day
and here are a couple u/s pics from our 3D ultrasound, she wasn't very happy about us invading her space lol

the girls are a month old already! both love to be held and have been nursing a ton lately, i think they're growing a lot. they are still wearing their newborn size onesies, but are probably getting close to 7 lbs by now. i joke that i'm going to take them to the grocery store and put them on the turkey scale. it's funny how similar they can look in pics when i don't think they look alike in real life.
them passed out after eating
1 or the other is always screaming
Eiley is getting ready to scream here
Eiley at one month...i didn't get a good pic of arya that dat as it was her turn to scream
eiley at 6 days and arya at almost a month..i used to sit with my tounge out like this all the time

I love seeing all the baby and bump pics!
I'm 29 weeks, 4 days today! I can't believe it! Not much going on with me, the baby is moving like crazy and I love watching my belly wiggle around. I swear she's taken up dancing in there! Our nursery furniture should be delivered any day now and I'm so excited to get it all set up. I still have a ton of shopping to do and other things to prepare but I'm getting more and more excited for her to get here - instead of just being worried about not being prepared. I haven't uploaded my most recent bump pics yet so the latest I have is from 27 weeks:

I'm 22 weeks now and still not loving being pregnant. I was told that you either love it or hate it and I think I must hate it. But, then I remember it's all for a good cause because I will get to hold my little boy soon.
I'm starting to get really excited about Connor getting here. The nursery is almost done being decorated and it's fun to think about him being in there. I am still having bad sciatica in the right leg and terrible heartburn everytime I eat. But the baby is growing and oing just fine. I have my follow up appointment at 28 weeks so I will get to see my little boy again.

ok, gonna post my update then read everyone elses in case bella wakes up.
She will be 1 month on Thursday, she was weighed on Friday and she weighed 6lb11. Still sleeping well most nights. Breastfeeding is still going well even though it is hard work mainly at nights though. We are applying for her Aussie passport in a couple of weeks as we fly back to oz in 10 weeks time. She is smiling alot now, proper big smiles too. She also managed to roll from her front to her back today, although I think it was a fluke.

Oh I just love all these pics and updates!!! Not too much new here. Paige is 3 months old! Crazy!!! I want to say that things are looking up, but just when I do she's fussy ALL NIGHT LONG!!! UGH...I feel bad since DH has to be home alone with her all nights this week as I'm working nights. I feel so bad for him! Anyway, I finally got a pic of her smiling! If you are on FB you already saw this, but it's by far my new favorite pic!!!
