2. Next milestone you're looking forward to?
One week till our anatomy scan! We'll ask them to write down the sex and we'll give the envelope to our moms, who will go to Build-a-Bear and make us a boy or girl bear. No reveal party or anything, just something fun for us to do with our moms. They're so excited!!
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
I *think* I've been feeling the baby move! This is my first, so I'm not sure. But there's definitely something going on in there!
4. GTKY: What colors/theme are you going with for baby's nursery?
My not-nerdy husband actually suggested a Star Wars nursery. He knows how to keep this little nerd happy! I'm trying not to overdo it with the actual SW stuff in the room though, so hopefully it'll come together nicely and not just look like a blue and grey room.
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Anatomy scan on the 27th will make me feel 200% better. I'm working on kicking the PGAL brain and that's a huge step for me.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Rave: MIL sent the cutest gift to me this weekend. It's a super cuddly and soft bunny rabbit that has a plastic heart recorder you put inside. Instructions are to take it to a doctor's appt. and record baby's hearbeat so I can listen to and keep it forever. I've never seen such a thing but it's just plain darling!
Rant: Stupid right side of my body has low circulation or something since every time I lay that way, fingers and toes go tingly. Also.. thanks UTI.
4. GTKY: What colors/theme are you going with for baby's nursery? We're doing a hiker baby/woodland theme since we're avid hikers (so much so that I run the state's hiking club). The whole room is now painted the exact color of the sky over the Black Hills and I bought paint yesterday to do the mountain mural on one wall. It's getting pretty real up in here. Picked up a beautiful lamp that had deer on it and am on the hunt for a grass like throw rug
@krzyriver YAY for baby movements!! I'm pretty sure I'm feeling movement now too but my brain keeps saying "but maybe it's just gas??"
17+2
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to?
Anatomy scan in 8 days and feeling unmistakable kicks.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
I definitely felt little rolls and flutters in the middle of the night but I can't wait to feel strong kicks that H can feel too!
I woke up to round ligament spasms this morning and realized I drank about half the amount of water I normally do yesterday. I pounded almost 50 oz. already this morning and they've subsided for now so I really hope that did the trick!
I've been doing the pillow between the knees thing but I'm still getting hip/lower back pain on whatever side I'm sleeping on which has resulted in me waking up to switch sides every hour or so. Anyone have any tricks or sleeping positions that work for them? I want to lay on stomach so bad.
4. GTKY: What colors/theme are you going with for baby's nursery?
We're doing an elephant theme with gray and mint. We might do an accent color depending on the sex. Maybe navy for a boy or dusty rose/sparkly gold for a girl. We'll see. We got paint swatches yesterday and then a friend posted a dresser/changing table for sale on facebook that I snatched up. It's the first time we've started talking about getting the nursery together so that's exciting!

2. Next milestone you're looking forward to?
Anatomy scan! I get one June 6 & 7! One at my high risk dr and one at my normal dr. Hopefully we will be able to tell what this little bean is since they wanted to be stubborn at my 16 week ultrasound.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
Feeling some taps and was confirmed when the ultrasound tech was trying to get baby to move last week and they started kicking and I felt the taps. Can't wait until they get stronger so the boys can feel baby
4. GTKY: What colors/theme are you going with for baby's nursery?
we are thinking of doing gray, yellow and white
@MRSCORKER I'm having trouble laying on my side too. The pillow between my knees helps the hip I'm sleeping on, but hurts the other one!! Lol. I have one of those horseshoe shaped pillows, which helps my hips, but I had to ditch it because I move around a lot. I would wiggle so much that I would create enough room to turn and lay on my back. But it might work for you! Also, I love your nursery theme! Elephants are my favorite, I would have done them if hubby hadn't come up with his own idea.

2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Our friends are throwing us a baby shower next Saturday, which I'm really looking forward to. We have a set of friends who are due 6 weeks before us so it's going to be a very casual joint shower which is exactly what we wanted. And of course the anatomy US in two weeks. I can't wait to see how much she's grown.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: The past week I've really felt my body changing. Lots of tightening in my stomach, pressure, lots of kicks. It's so weird! Good, but weird. I mostly feel OK, though I still have some food aversion/apathy in the evenings. I've managed to stay active with going to the gym, and I can still work (shooting weddings now that wedding season has started) and I'm really grateful that I'm able to do both.
4. GTKY: What colors/theme are you going with for baby's nursery? We haven't nailed down anything solid yet as the room hasn't even been cleaned out, but we're thinking neutrals (probably gray) with some light pink/rose gold accents. I would love to tie in some woodland/nature themes since we both love nature and being outdoors. I'm from the East Coast, DH is from out west, so I'm thinking of maybe doing some stenciling of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Rocky Mountains.
@anna.oskar I love the hiking motif! And @MRSCORKER I love the colors you've chosen!
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Feeling the baby move! Come on already! haha. Anatomy scan June 7.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Since seeing little one at my ultrasound last week PGAL-brain has really been kept at bay! It was just SO reasuring that they were okay and I saw the heartbeating and every thing.
4. GTKY: What colors/theme are you going with for baby's nursery? Non existent at this point... if only we could get our dang house finished.
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? This sounds silly, but I'm looking forward to actually LOOKING pregnant. I have a bump that is super noticeable to me, but is still kind of a cheeseburger belly to other people. Additionally, I can't wait until my husband can feel the movements. He's been so involved in this pregnancy and I want him to have some of the pay-off!
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: The anatomy scan was very cool, even though I spent the first half of it terrified that something was wrong and the ultrasound tech just wasn't telling us. Everything actually looked great and that has eased my mind so much. We also found a daycare that we loved and we're applying this month, even though we won't need it until April 2017!
4. GTKY: What colors/theme are you going with for baby's nursery? I've got nothing! We're moving at the end of this month and will figure it out when that is finished.
I am 17wks + 4 days
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to?
Our anatomy scan. We find out the gender on the 31 and I get reassurance that everything is a-ok... hopefully. I'm such a worry wart. lol
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
I use the Ovia app because I love the tidbits it gives you on what your baby maybe doing today/this week. Today it said my little bug maybe yawing or swallowing because it is taking control of its own movements. I love the idea of my baby yawing! so cute!:D
4. GTKY: What colors/theme are you going with for baby's nursery?
This maybe be weird but I don't believe in nurserys. I don't understand why build a room for a baby that the baby isn't going to use. I feel like it is pretty much just there for looks. So were not doing a nursery, we will do a room for our child when it is a toddler but no nursery, plus like I said I am a worry wart so I am completely happy with the baby sleeping in my room;however, if we were to do a nursery I would do gender neutral and earthy/nature theme. (also no hate to anyone who is doing a nursery, to each their own right

2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? 20 weeks. Just being at the halfway point will be such a huge deal. Also, I think I've felt Peanut move a few times. But feeling him move on a more consistent basis will also be a great milestone!
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Rave: We just found out that it's a boy!!!! I was in tears because now I can name my son after my late Father. I am just so extremely happy!! Rant: This RLP is on and off and almost feels like menstrual cramps at times which is really messing with my PGAL brain. Is anyone else experiencing this?
4. GTKY: What colors/theme are you going with for baby's nursery? We unconsciously registered for mostly a blue whale theme yesterday. So I guess that's what it will be.

A friend of mine has a nursery and her child is literally never in it. Sleeps in mom's room, plays in the living room. So weird to me.
SO and I have been together: 5 Years+
BFP: 03/10
First Baby: 10/20/2016
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Honestly just her birth. I am so ready to have her already even though of course she needs to stay in there to develop completely.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Feeling good really but I just can't stand for too long without back and hip pain.
4. GTKY: What colors/theme are you going with for baby's nursery? We don't have a theme but it is pink, green, and aqua. We are not changing it since we are having another girl.
TTC#2: BFP: 8-23-15 MMC: 10-29-15
DD 2: 9-15-16
DD 3: 9-16-17
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? anatomy ultrasound on May 27 but hoping to distinctly feel the baby before that!
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I think having a full stomach makes the baby's heartbeat harder to find. It seems much easier when I do it in the morning before I've eaten. Yes I am limiting my doppler time (as hard as that is! I need evidence!)
4. GTKY: What colors/theme are you going with for baby's nursery? We're doing grass green and sky blue, with white clouds. Husband REALLY wants pink accents for the girl so I'm hoping to keep that to removable stuff like curtains and sheets. Planning on doing Super Mario wall decals. The idea with this room is that the baby might not use it much at first, but it can also work for a toddler or younger child, and the wall decals can be switched out to change it to angry birds, my little ponies, dinosaurs, whatever the kid is into.
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Anatomy scan to confirm all is well and hitting the halfway point
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: We did an elective ultrasound Friday and found out its a boy! I dont think i will ever forget the look on my husbands face when he realized it was a boy. It just made my heart so full and we could not be more excited as first time parents!
4. GTKY: What colors/theme are you going with for baby's nursery? We're doing a woodland animals theme. I found the cutest canvases with a fox, owl and bear that say "Stay clever little fox. Stay wise little owl. Stay brave little bear" and I fell in love with them!
1. How far along are you? 16W 2D
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Elective scan on Saturday to find out the sex of the baby!!!
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: This waiting game on not knowing if everything is going okay drives me crazy, hoping that ultrasound this weekend will put my nerves to ease for awhile.
4. GTKY: What colors/theme are you going with for baby's nursery? For a girl purple and gray for a boy teal and gray with guitars.
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Being able to feel kicks on the outside.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I fell at the gym this morning. I wasn't paying attention and missed a step. I hit my butt on the banister and fell not too hard on my knees. My ass and back are killing me right now.
4. GTKY: What colors/theme are you going with for baby's nursery? I'm going with a beach/ocean theme. Teal walls with coral accents and fun (not cartoonish) decorations.

BFP #4 1/2016, DD born 10/2016
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Making it past 20W5D which is when we lost our daughter.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I am so damn sleepy, I swear I could sleep all day and night. ZZZzzzzzzz
4. GTKY: What colors/theme are you going with for baby's nursery? I am thinking a campsite them, wildlife, or something similar in nature. If we don't come to an agreement on that, I am thinking solar system.
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Feeling consistent movement
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I'm feeling much better lately, only nauseous in the mornings. I felt a little fluter of baby movement Saturday!
4. GTKY: What colors/theme are you going with for baby's nursery? I'm leaning towards Noah's Ark to tie in the rainbow theme.
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Feeling baby on the outside. Can't wait until DH and the kids can feel him.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I wore my too tight pants today and totally regret it. I'm so uncomfortable and it's making me cranky. I didn't get a chance to do my laundry yesterday so these were the only clean pants I had.
4. GTKY: What colors/theme are you going with for baby's nursery? We're going with a baby Monsters Inc. theme. We're not using bright colors though, we're going to try to tone down the brightness.
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Feeling baby strongly/anatomy scan on the 26th (next week!!!!!!!). I think -- THINK -- that I have been feeling some tiny flutters and other movements that are baby. They're really weak, though. I have to be still and concentrate on what I'm feeling to notice it, and I have a hard time believing I'd feel anything this early at my weight with an anterior placenta. I can't wait until I can feel baby strongly enough that there's no doubt about what it is!
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Definitely starting to grow a belly. Most of my old pants still fit but I have broken into my maternity tops and a maternity dress without shame. Partly it's because they're so comfy, partly it's because I've (re)gained weight in the past few years, and I refused to buy myself new clothes, so everything I have worn in the past two years has been (1) too tight and (2) old. I'd forgotten how nice it is to have new clothes that fit right, even if they are covering a growing belly.
4. GTKY: What colors/theme are you going with for baby's nursery? We're team green so baby's room will be unisex. Right now it's painted blue and we are inclined not to repaint. We're considering a (very subtle) undersea theme with lots of blues, grays, and creams.

BFP #2 2/18/16
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? a/s this friday
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I hope baby behaves so that we can find out what we are having, I am so anxious to know
4. GTKY: What colors/theme are you going with for baby's nursery? We haven't discussed this since we still don't know the gender
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Anatomy scan this Thursday. Nervous but excited and really hoping it is a positive experience
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: At work today I've been fantasizing about being home with my baby girl instead. It still seems so surreal to think of hopefully being in that position in a few months!
4. GTKY: What colors/theme are you going with for baby's nursery? We painted the room off-white last year so I think now I want to do some light pink and gold/shimmery accents. I have the idea but not really sure how to put it into place! Maybe this can take up my free worry time for the next few months haha
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? My Level 2 Anatomy Scan on May 24th.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I felt Hazelnut (official baby nn
4. GTKY: What colors/theme are you going with for baby's nursery? We have a two bedroom house right now DD is in a gender neautral room since we were Team Green with her. We're Team Green again so I probably won't be making many changes to the room. The real decorating and planning will come when we move!
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? The kids being able to feel kicks on the outside! I also love the rolling when baby gets bigger
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: not much to rant or rave about.. I did a lot of weeding today (the worst) so I can plant flowers on Saturday, so I'm excited about that.
4. GTKY: What colors/theme are you going with for baby's nursery? She will be shariNG a room with big sis who has kind of a shabby chic/hot air balloon type theme going on..
19w+6
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to?
20 weeks tomorrow baby! Woo-hoo halfway mark!
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
Congrats ladies, we're pretty much all halfway there!
4. GTKY: What colors/theme are you going with for baby's nursery?
I have no idea. We still have to get the garage remodeled and turned into the new master bedroom so we can make our master the nursery. We can't even agree on names, I dread the colors and theme conversation haha
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Anatomy scan
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: just spent the day yesterday celebrating my 7 year wedding anniversary and even had a date night with DH while my mom watched the boys!
4. GTKY: What colors/theme are you going with for baby's nursery? No idea! Probably teal/brown?
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Anatomy scan - a week from Friday! And, hoping to feel the little one move one of these days...I need the assurance it's still kicking in there! I'm a first timer, so I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to feel, but hoping I know it when I feel it, and don't chalk it up to gas or cramps.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Fingers crossed so that I don't jinx myself, but the dizziness seems to be letting up...not completely gone, but definitely able to go several hours and not think about it. But that's it, not talking about it anymore in case it heard me...
4. GTKY: What colors/theme are you going with for baby's nursery? Gray and white...figure since we're team green, I can add in pinks/purples or blues/greens as accents after the baby is born. I'm also thinking puppies, but that's mainly cuz I'm a huge dog lover. But, not cutesy cartoony puppies, just subtle, grown up dog decor...if that makes any sense.
P.S. (and mabye TMI) - does anyone have a perpetual fear that every time they wipe after using the bathroom that there will be spoting? I only had one loss, and there's been nothing so far to indicate anything is wrong this time...but I just can't shake it. It's like I hold my breath every time I go... And, having not felt anything yet, well, it's like I'm just waiting.... *sigh* I think I just always find something to worry about.
