Re: Team Greeeeeen Check In

  • 28 weeks tomorrow!! 
    Made some progress on my nursery this week. It's finally all cleaned out except for the crib and a small bookshelf. The remainder of my home office is now in my kitchen though.... 
    I bought a couple newborn bodysuits last night :) First clothing items I've purchased!! 
    GD test tomorrow! Oh and I have to have my BP taken 3 times a week because I've got "white coat syndrome" and it's super high when I go to my doctor but then when I do it  at the pharmacy it's in the optimal range so they need the printouts as proof haha.

  • 26 weeks, 6 days- not quite in the third yet

    No nursery- baby will be in our room until sleeping through the night then share with DS

    BH like crazy and a nasty UTI that's clearing up thankfully. Energy comes and goes!

    No trends- a good mix of boys and girls. I really have no idea!

    We didnt circumcise DS and we won't this time either.

  • How far along are you? I'm 24 weeks :) 

    How is the nursery coming along? Since we already have a nursery, DD is just moving out of it into a big girl room, so it's her new room that we're working on. It's painted, and the bookshelves have been moved in and filled with all her toys. Heer rug is in there... and we're setting up the new big girl bed today, I already have the bedding, etc, so then she'll be able to play on it and get used to it until she's ready to actually sleep there. Still need to get curtains, set up the closet, buy and hang some decor... I'm going to sew her a  hanging tent as a reading nook, too, so I'll have to get on that. I'm feeling really good about our progress though! 

    Any new symptoms? Nah. Same old insomnia ;) 

    Do you have any trends in your family or your partner's that make you think you will have a boy or a girl? Our parents and all four sets of our grandparents had a girl first and then a boy, so that's what everyone is guessing for us too. 

    If you have a boy...Will you circumcise? No. We had this discussion when we were expecting DD, and originally planned on doing it - DH is circumcised and felt that he'd like our son to look like him. However, we found out that it's quite expensive here and there's only one doctor in town who performs them... and then we did some research on why it's actually done, etc, and decided it just wasn't something that was important to us.

  • How far along: 28w3d, into 3rd tri for sure.

    Nursery is pretty much ready, need to change the sheets because I didn't when dd moved out. She's in her big girl room, but we still need a different dresser in there and a book shelf. Then we'll work on more accessories.

    No new symptoms, just the girth.

    trends on gender: well since the sperm decides I think dh's family would have more say- he has only a brother, and on his dad's side only male cousins. But then we had DD, so....

    Circumcision is still undecided- the research that comes out constantly is so split. I've had a long talk with a BFF who is a PNP about it, she really doesn't advise one way or another, so at least it seems like we can't go wrong either way. Haven't spoken with my OB about it, but she is Jewish and serves a predominantly Jewish patient base, so I'm sure she wouldn't advise against it.

  • How far along are you? Are you in third tri yet? 27 weeks

    How is the nursery coming along? Anything new to report (post a pic!) Still cleaning out my old office. Almost there.  We ordered a recliner rocker for the room and the crib is coming next week. 

    Any new symptoms? i've been having really bad hip pain when I wake up. Pillows aren't helping, but got off my butt and went to a yoga class and that helped. 

    Do you have any trends in your family or your partner's that make you think you will have a boy or a girl? Not really. 

    If you have a boy...Will you circumcise? Unsure. Probably, but that's still on my research to do list.
  • Hi - I'm new to the check-in. I'm not on here a whole lot, but will participate if I can! I'm team green with twins!

    How far along are you? Are you in third tri yet? 25 weeks, 5 days. Still in the second trimester. 


    How is the nursery coming along? Anything new to report (post a pic!) As of this weekend, all furniture has been ordered. The nursery was already painted yellow, so we just spent the last month cleaning it out so that we can start setting it up with baby gear. 

    Any new symptoms? Not for me. Just my regular sleep issues. 

    Do you have any trends in your family or your partner's that make you think you will have a boy or a girl? No trends whatsoever. So we'll see what happens. 

    If you have a boy...Will you circumcise? Don't know yet. Insurance doesn't cover it, so that may play a factor in our decision. Also, it's not super popular in this area of the country. Since we're having twins, my DH jokes that if we have two boys, we should circumcise one and not the other as an experiment.

  • How far along are you? Are you in third tri yet? 26 weeks 5 days almost there!!!

    How is the nursery coming along? Anything new to report (post a pic!)  Were moving at the end of February so we are just using the extra space in the living room to store everything.

    Any new symptoms? I noticed I am getting the waddle. 

    Do you have any trends in your family or your partner's that make you think you will have a boy or a girl? No not really. 

    If you have a boy...Will you circumcise?  Yes, no question.

  • How far along are you? Are you in third tri yet? 26w4d. OB says I'm in the 3rd so I'm saying I am.

    How is the nursery coming along? Anything new to report (post a pic!) Finally got it cleaned out for the most part. There is a dresser that is being refinished and will be done this weekend that we plan on purchasing. We've made a TON of progress on our apartment in general getting it baby-ready and organizing to make more room.

    Any new symptoms? Not really. I'm short and have a short torso so I've REALLY been struggling with breathing. And my back pain is back.

    Do you have any trends in your family or your partner's that make you think you will have a boy or a girl? I'm an only child. DH's family is exactly split in half when it comes to number of boys and girls in each generation... as far back as great grandparents! So it's totally 50/50.

    If you have a boy...Will you circumcise? Nope.

  • How far along are you? Are you in third tri yet? 
    27 Weeks today!  Feeling the third trimester (I woke up last week and my ass had gotten huge overnight!)

    How is the nursery coming along? Anything new to report (post a pic!)
    Nursery is painted and the carpet is down.  Ceiling fan is in and we are awaiting our furniture delivery next month!!!

    Any new symptoms? 
    Does "Fat ass" count?

    Do you have any trends in your family or your partner's that make you think you will have a boy or a girl?
    Both families are girl heavy...But I really don't know.  I was convinced it was a boy for a while- but now I am back to being confused.  Although, I still say "he" and I'm not sure what that means...

    If you have a boy...Will you circumcise?
    The best advice I got on this topic was to make DS look like dad.  I don't have a penis so I don't pretend to have an opinion either way- but DS will be least confused or concerned (when the time comes to know the difference) if he looks like daddy.  So we will circumcise.

  • How far along are you? Are you in third tri yet?

    27 weeks, 4 days! I'll say that's close enough to 3rd tri!

    How is the nursery coming along? Anything new to report (post a pic!)

    Ours is coming along nicely, I might end up doing maternity pics in there so that's good incentive to get my butt in gear! Most of the stuff we have left to do is buy curtains and a mattress.


    Any new symptoms?

    I've gained soooo much leg weight. The insides of my thighs are so torn up from chafing. It's uncomfortable and makes me feel like a whale.

    Do you have any trends in your family or your partner's that make you think you will have a boy or a girl?

    My husband is an only child, on my side there's a lot of "boy then girl" so everyone thinks girl too! Only time will tell !

    If you have a boy...Will you circumcise?

    Nope.

  • 25 weeks, 2 days.

    How is the nursery coming along? Anything new to report (post a pic!)
    Nothing is happening. :( It's on my list.

    Any new symptoms?
    Pregsomnia, and I freaking hate it.

    Do you have any trends in your family or your partner's that make you think you will have a boy or a girl?
    I think it's a girl, but mainly because of the old wives tale about carrying everywhere. I feel like I have minimal belly showing in any kind if an obvious way, but my hips and face and boobs are huge!

    If you have a boy...Will you circumcise?
    Leaving that up to DH, and he's still researching.

  • I am 29 weeks 2 days. Third Tri for sure!

    What nursery? LOL... My mom just left to head back home after spending 3 weeks with us through the Holidays. She was sleeping in what will be the nursery. Really we arent going to do much to it yet. Until we have the baby and know if it is a boy or girl, then we will paint and decorate. But we do have to buy DD a new big girl bed and dresser as we plan on moving the crib and the matching dresser to the new nursery.

    As for symptoms BH like crazy, and not sleeping to well at night at all..

    Well DH's family (his mom and both brother and sister) had 1 of each (mom had 2 of each). We have a DD already so hopefully this one will be a boy.

    Yes we will circumsize

  • 26w 1d

    How is the nursery coming along:  It isn't.  I'm not ordering furniture until after the baby is born, but I have a "boy" crib and "girl" crib picked out.  Our nursery is currently DD's play room.  We're slowly moving her toys into her bedroom.

    Symptoms:  I have to pee like crazy these days.  I teach 90 minute classes and it's getting hard to make it through a full class sometimes without having to run to the restroom.

    Predictions:  Some days I feel like it's a boy and others that it's a girl.  I feel like I'm carrying all over.  My family is pretty balanced and DH is him and a sister.  We already have DD so maybe this one is a boy. 

    We probably will circumcise.

    OB says I am. I'm 26w and according to the book she gave me it

    Oh you mean the temp video game room that SO is keeping till the baby shower at the end of March? Swell I just *LOVE* it.
    Any new symptoms? 
    Insomnia, leaky boobs and heartburn on steroids. A few braxton hicks every so often.
    Do you have any trends in your family or your partner's that make you think you will have a boy or a girl?
    No
    If you have a boy...Will you circumcise?
    No, too expensive.

  • How far along are you? Are you in third tri yet? 25 weeks so not 3d tri yet

    How is the nursery coming along? Haha, yeeea. The room is being "cleaned" today if that counts. Once the walls are wiped down, etc. we will decide on a paint color. And by "we" I mean baby and I. DH doesn't get much of a say...

    Any new symptoms? Heartburn and largeness, lol. Up until this point the bump was cute...now it's large.

    Do you have any trends in your family or your partner's that make you think you will have a boy or a girl? My family is 50/50 and my DH's is too. Although his dad had 2 boys in 1 marriage and 2 girls in the other. So, that's throwing me off. My brother has 2 boys, so I'm hoping to get a girl into the family!

    If you have a boy...Will you circumcise? I don't see a point so unless my DH really insists (he says he doesn't care) then I don't think we will if it's a boy.

    **I'm excited to see that some of you will be posting pics this week, I love seeing what everyone is doing! Happy almost hump day!**
  • How far along are you? 25w 5d, not quite to 3rd trimester yet.
    How is the nursery coming along? I hung up the first few outfits we've received in the closet and we are getting a beautiful crib and change table set from my cousin.  It's a hand me down but it's in fantastic shape and it will look great.
    Any new symptoms?  Same old things
    Do you have any trends in your family or your partner's that make you think you will have a boy or a girl? It could really go either way.  My family is mostly girls, DH's family is mostly boys.
    If you have a boy will you circumcise? Yes.

  • How far along are you? Are you in third tri yet?
    I can't keep track. I think I'll be 27 weeks on Saturday. STM here!

    How is the nursery coming along? Anything new to report (post a pic!)
    Just dandy - I really don't need to do anything other than put a sheet on the cradle and get the baby clothes out of storage.

    Any new symptoms?
    Back pain. Baby is getting too heavy for me to keep up with DS and his energetic toddler ways.

    Do you have any trends in your family or your partner's that make you think you will have a boy or a girl?
    No. DH comes from a family of boys but our kids' generation has a lot of girls.

    If you have a boy...Will you circumcise? Nope. No way.

  • How far along are you? Are you in third tri yet?  27w3d! #rd tri is on Sunday!

    How is the nursery coming along? Anything new to report (post a pic!) We're just starting the nursery. The glider was ordered 2 weeks ago and will be here in about a month. So we want to have it done by then. It's taken a lot of work to relocate all our bikes and workout equipment. But, that task ended last week, so now we can focus on baby!

    Any new symptoms? More tired.

    Do you have any trends in your family or your partner's that make you think you will have a boy or a girl? All my cousins are girls. One is currently pregnant (due 03.31!) with a boy, another had a Boy then Girl, and my sister had 2 Girls...and DH is the first to have kids on his side of the family. He swears its a boy and I say girl just because I want to be different. Deep down, I think it's a boy. Even my sister does!

    If you have a boy...Will you circumcise? Yes. We decided that since DH is that if we have a son, he'd like to be like Dad.
