31 weeks today... 9 to go! That "holy sh!t, this is really happening" feeling is starting to sink in and I'm starting to count down instead of up! 

Everything is still going well and we're about ready as we're going to be for baby. I've got the nursery done and all the critical essentials have been purchased. I'm having 2 baby showers next month (one my SIL is hosting and one they're throwing for me at work). 

We're in the middle of classes.. did the hospital tour and CPR classes... still need to pick a pediatrician and do our birthing classes which start Feb 2nd. All in all, we're pretty well prepared!

As for the seven drawrfs, right now I'm sleepy... always sleepy... Even when I wake up... Sleepy. lol

21 weeks with my baby boy, and doing well. We decided to name him: Eli Michael

I am experiencing that time in pregnancy where I'm either ravenous or not hungry at all. When I do eat, I can't eat as much. I think this is God's gift for all the eating I did in 1st tri! Ha!

Tomorrow I see the VBAC doctor, and as the weeks go by, I am getting more and more excited! Most of you know this is my DH's first child (other two were from my previous marriage), so he is doing so much for me and being a total sweetheart. It's very sweet.

Hope everyone is doing great!

TMaggie0424, @KateLouise & @CML11 (apologies to anyone I missed!!!)

AFM: 39+3.... nothing happening though.  My OB thinks I will be late - so preparing for that mentally.  Made dinner reservations for DH and I for our due date.  Feeling large, tired, ready to get this show on the road and meet this little person!

QOTW: I think these days I am Sleepy but prior to PG I would say possibly Doc in that I am more of a leader in work settings, etc.

Hope everyone has a great week - and wishing you all the best!!!

Ooooh so close @Lady2010‌
Hope you have to change the reservations to 3

Week 10! The nausea is starting to subside (knocking wood), but I am seriously tired and unmotivated lately. I'm hoping for some good weather to get me out for a walk and get me energized. It's funny, with my daughter, I craved healthy food like eggs, shellfish and strawberries (so many strawberries). So far, this kid just wants me to eat junk! I try to resist, but today I splurged on a glazed donut. Erg. My husband thinks it means it's a boy this time. Ha!

QOTD: I'm definitely Sleepy these days. Maybe once I get to the second trimester, I'll get back to my usual Happy and more energetic dwarf-self.

@Lady2010 -- You're getting so close! And don't listen to your OB. Nobody knows when that baby will come. With my daughter, my doc told me I was "way too comfortable" and that he thought I'd go past 41w, should set up an induction, etc. But I went into labor all on my own at 40w2d. Good luck!

Hi all

All is well here except I'm having terrible reflux that can be triggered by a sip of H's coffee.  So I'm to learn very fast what to eat and what to avoid.  Like @MamaBear904, we are in the middle of getting through our classes.

While at the OB today, I managed to see LO open and close his mouth a couple of times on the US like he was gulping amniotic fluid.  I was quite amazed.

QOTW: depending on the hour of the day I could be Happy, Grumpy, or Sleepy!

Hope you are all doing well.

Hi ladies.

I'm only just a few days since I told you all about my BFP, so I think I'm at 4 weeks 6 days.

I've had some major bouts of anxiety this week around; will this end in a miscarriage, will I die in a horrible bleeding mess. You know, that kind of thing.

I realised that everytime I go to the toilet I am expecting to see bleeding, even though all seems well.

I'm hoping this passes or at least eases in time. I go see my Dr. next week to do some initial blood tests, and I'll get hold of my mw around 7 weeks.

QOTW: I would say I'm Happy. I just always pretty much am, even when things suck I'm pretty happy and looking to laugh at things.

@KateLouise, I'm so happy to hear about your BFP! I didn't realize!!! Congrats!

Hi ladies, 

Nothing much new here. I'm 24 weeks, gaining weight like it's going out of style, and waiting for the next appointment on Monday. Still get bouts of uncontrollable sleepiness and hunger and some minor gastro issues but I've learned how to cope.  

I can't believe I'm only 16 weeks away from d-day; it's as if yesterday I was temping, charting, OPKing and swearing at my fertility monitor.  

Hope everyone is doing well and staying warm!
