@mullenem, I love it! It's the cutest line I've seen in a long time. Hoping for a sale soon

I was checking it out, too! So cute. Funny, I went to look for a few new maternity items and ended up browsing through that. It's so much more fun to shop for baby than myself, at least right now!

@katiebartton I grew up for the most part in Weyers Cave, went to Fort Defiance High School and my grandparents live in Harrisonburg - small world!

Very cool! We moved away when I was 5 to Winchester, VA but my mom ended up going to JMU years later and would let me tag along so I got to spend a little time there after we moved which was cool

How far along are you? 20wks 6days

Got the courage to buy anything yet? Bought a dresser from Craig's list, that would also look great in our dinning room after baby outgrows it and started our registry. This is our second baby and most likely won't have a shower/sprinkle. Just looking the get the 20% off items from our registry.

How are you feeling physically/emotionally? So sadden from the recent losses on this board. I was really hoping we were past seeing things like that. My heart breaks for them. Physically, ok. I am now on Zantac for heartburn. Hopefully that helps. Baby is getting bigger because my belly feels heavier. Especially if I stand and baby is sleeping in the front. Man it feels like a rock in there. . Getting harder to sleep through the night, so during the day I am much more tired.

Any updates or appointments coming up you'd like to share? Normal monthly appt on the 10th.

Any PgAL crazy you want to add? Same as above. The late losses are so sad and gets my thoughts in over drive at times.

Any baby awesomeness this week?
I can feel baby moving around a lot more these days. which has been very comforting, since I haven't felt much due to my anterior placenta.

QOTW – Where are you from? Southeast MI. Now I live about an hour north of that, still in MI though. Trying not to get buried alive in our house from all this snow! I work at a school and so far they've had 9 snow days. Crazy weather this year.

How far along are you?  20w 2d

Team / Name? Pink, Camryn

Got the courage to buy anything yet?    Only thing since last week is an adorable pair of black mary janes to match a dress for a wedding DH and I are standing in this October.  I got the dress the day before I knew she was a girl, I guess you would say I had a hunch we were team pink

How are you feeling physically/emotionally? Any updates or appointments coming up you'd like to share?  Physically I'm finally sporting a bump and I'm feeling her move periodically.  I try to get he to give me onel ast nudge before bed but it doesnt always work.  Feeling quite good though.  Emotionally I think we are all feeling similar at this time, and then my BFF miscarried at 8 weeks on Wednesday.  I'm so sad for everyone and of course a little nervous for myself.  Like someone said, cherish every day and love our babes like crazy, never take for granted. 

Any PgAL crazy you want to add?  I think with all these losses we are all a little on guard.

 Any baby awesomeness this week?  Moving getting stronger, and I can tell DH is bonding a little more, which makes me fall in love with him all over again. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

QOTW – Where are you from? Northeast Wisconsin, originally about 60 miles north of Green Bay, but now about 30 miles south.

Team / Name? Girls (we are still not quite sure of the names...I don't know if I am ever going to figure this out.

Got the courage to buy anything yet?  Yeah we have alot of stuff: mini cribs, a few outfits and double snap n go.

How are you feeling physically/emotionally? Any updates or appointments coming up you'd like to share?  Getting big. I get very tired very easily these days.  We went to the coast to help my MIL move and wow, I dont think I will be traveling again for a while. It was hard on my body and I didn't really do anything. I see why they say no traveling after 24w.

Any PgAL crazy you want to add? Any baby awesomeness this week? Nothing much. I can tell they are getting bigger because I can feel them alot more. I can also usually distinguish between them too.

@RedMar - I still have family up there between Syracuse and Rome.  Actually, that is where my mom is so depending on whether or not she needs surgery, I may be up there in a few weeks.

@MollySm - Are you an outlet mall addict? 

@hubbs173 - My college roomies where from Buffalo. 

@katiebartton - I need to get up that way and do a wine tour.  DH and I did a Charlotteville's tour on our way to Snowshoe Mtn a few years ago.

Team / Name? Blue- Lloyd

Got the courage to buy anything yet? Thankfully we have a lot of supportive friends. We've been given so many hand me downs, all we need to buy is a crib.

How are you feeling physically/emotionally? Physically I've got headaches and I am beyond constipated. Emotionally I'm raw from all the sad losses on here this week. And it of course, makes me worry about my little guy.

Any updates or appointments coming up you'd like to share? This Friday is our second anatomy scan. At our first scan they couldn't see his heart well enough. Hoping all looks good.

Any PgAL crazy you want to add? Any baby awesomeness this week? Did feel any movement for the first half of this week, which I know is normal, but I'm happy to report I've been feeling his little kicks again these past few days.

And I live in Santa Clarita, a suburb of Los Angeles. One of the few born and raised Southern Cali girls.

@kimberly26 thanks for the check in My check up went okay, didn't learn much more about the cyst except that they need to monitor it because its close to the insertion site for baby girl. Its nerv racking but I am keeping positive. Hopefully will know more after the next u/s on Feb 20. Fingers crossed, sorry for the late reply, I spent the last week sick as a dog with a nasty cold. Being sick while pregnant is just the worst xo

Team / Name?  TEAM BLUE

Got the courage to buy anything yet? Still no shopping yet, but I know that will change after our A/S.

How are you feeling physically/emotionally? Any updates or appointments coming up you'd like to share? I am feeling good.  Oh who am I kidding...I am a nervous wreck and very excited for my A/S tomorrow @ 2 pm. I just want to prove all of these crazy dreams wrong. DD keeps saying its a girl and when I say "what if it's a boy" she comes back at me with "well what if it's a girl"...she is going to be one unhappy girl if it's a boy. :0) 

Any PgAL crazy you want to add? Any baby awesomeness this week? Not anything new with the PgAL brain....but this baby moves a lot after I eat....I love it and I am so happy that I can feel the baby move.

QOTW – Where are you from?  I'm from southside Chicago....about 40 minutes south. More snow is on it's way tomorrow. I just hope it will wait until after my appointment so I do not have to reschedule.

How far along are you? 19 weeks today

Team / Name? We find out wednesday!! Anatomy scan is tomorrow and having some family over to find out together Wednesday evening!

Got the courage to buy anything yet? Just some clothes, nothing major.

How are you feeling physically/emotionally?
Physically pretty good still. I can tell I'm starting to get a little tired after a full day of work, but not bad yet.
Emotionally I've gotten more scared as the anatomy scan approaches. Especially after the last few weeks here. But at least tomorrow I'll have comfort (I hope.)
Any updates or appointments coming up you'd like to share? Just praying that tomorrow is good news!!

Any PgAL crazy you want to add?
I feel like I second guessing everything lately! Should I bend down like that, lift this, eat that. I know it's illy, but I'm terrified!!
Any baby awesomeness this week?
I feel like I'm finally starting to feel some movement but can't entirely distinguish it yet.

QOTW – Where are you from?

How far along are you? 21 wks 5 days

Team / Name? Pink / Abigail Lily

Got the courage to buy anything yet? Not yet, waiting for the a/s rescan before we buy anything.

How are you feeling physically/emotionally? Any updates or appointments coming up you'd like to share? I had a non-movement scare last week but Abigail is fine. I have my checkup with DR on Wednesday and the rescan on Thursday. I am VERY nervous about the rescan ... I just want her heart and brain measurement to be okay.

Any PgAL crazy you want to add? Any baby awesomeness this week? The non  movement for 3 days freaked me out and I had fears of losing her which brought back ALL those memories of the pain from the miscarriage last year. Went in to be monitored and everything was fine.

Got the courage to buy anything yet?
We are painting the little guys room this weekend!

How are you feeling physically/emotionally? Any updates or appointments coming up you'd like to share? Feeling pretty good some heartburn now and then and a sort of stretchy heavy feeling in my belly, but I am not complaining! So happy to have made it this far.

Any PgAL crazy you want to add? Any baby awesomeness this week? A little craziness after our car accident hubby and I cried because we didnt want anything to be wrong with the baby! Because of the accident I got to see him on ultrasound and he had the hiccups it was pretty awesome! We are so blessed.
