Re: last week of septemeber due date check in 1/25
How are things going? How are you feeling? I am actually feeling pretty good. I am the opposite of constipated, but I'll take it.
Upcoming appointments? US tomorrow!
What is your favourite thing about where you live? (House, neighbourhood, region etc.) I love being 30 minutes away from both mountains and water.
Any projects you've recently done around the house? (AWs encouraged) We got new family room furniture. And I hate it.. I think it's too big. I told my H last night I am ready to redo that room already.
Any household projects that have been on the list for a while? We want to hardwood the entire basement.
What do you think your biggest challenge will be getting the house set up for baby? I'm not sure exactly. We are too hesitant this early on to start talking about changes.
How far along are you? How big is baby? 5+3 or 5+4, still unclear on that. Baby is the size of a BB pellet.
How are things going? How are you feeling? Pretty well, actually. Mild waves of nausea every now and then but nothing serious. The extreme fatigue might be starting to hit though. I was asleep on the couch at 8:30 last night.
Upcoming appointments? My first OB appointment isn't until March 1st, and my first ultrasound won't be until February 26. Seems so far away.
What is your favourite thing about where you live? (House, neighbourhood, region etc.) I moved back to my hometown four years ago, and I absolutely love being so close to my family. I can't imagine leaving again.
Any projects you've recently done around the house? (AWs encouraged) We just moved into our house in October, so there are a whole lot of projects we've done. My favourite is the upstairs living room; new paint job and hardwood floors. Just missing the trim!
Any household projects that have been on the list for a while? I've yet to finish putting up all my pictures. Maybe this weekend.
What do you think your biggest challenge will be getting the house set up for baby? Transitioning DD to a new room/new bed.
BFP #1: 9/12/2015
DD: 6/1/2016
BFP #2: 1/16/2018 MC 2/2/2018
How far along are you? How big is baby? 5+2. My app says an appleseed.
How are things going? How are you feeling? Not bad at all. Tired, some cramping, bloated for sure. No nausea or anything yet. More anxious than anything as we have been TTC for 13 months before a CP last month and now, here I am.
Upcoming appointments? RE for an ultrasound to see the HB and confirm all is good on Feb 7th
What is your favourite thing about where you live? We live out in the country on some water. Its like the cottage all year long. Wouldn't change a thing.
Any projects you've recently done around the house? (AWs encouraged) A huge rustic wood dining table which hubs is making himself. He is the project guy, probably safest for everyone cause he's probably got more Joanna and Chip in him than me
Any household projects that have been on the list for a while? Building docks for the water, always gets pushed to the bottom of the list.
What do you think your biggest challenge will be getting the house set up for baby? Not sure.. lets say baby room in general. It is currently full of tons of other stuff... will need to do lots of reorganizing.
@Spylon: my non pregnant self was dozing on the couch by 9 so I'm a little worried about the extreme fatigue for me... 6pm maybe? LOL.
@Redpuma119 : my #2s are the same which I will take over being constipated all day long. I'm with you on the setting up for baby, I've had a loss and it took us a while to get pregnant so I think I will be one of those who is waiting till the third trimester to even think about nursery. Good luck on your appt tmr. US already? thats awesome! I've had 2 betas and all I want is more until my US date to ease my nerves.

What do you think your biggest challenge will be getting the house set up for baby?
Space. We don't have an empty bedroom this time so configuring how everything will work best will be a challenge.
Either 5+0 or 5+1 depending on which app I’m on lol.

Pretty good mentally. Lots and lots of symptoms (cramping, joint and back pain, lots of #2, fatigue, nausea, canker sores) but I’ll take it any day if it means a healthy baby!

Any projects you've recently done around the house? (AWs encouraged)
just trying to figure out how to organize all of my boys toys in the playroom after Christmas!
Any household projects that have been on the list for a while?
We move often with DH job and are moving again in a few months so leaving everything as is until we move again!
What do you think your biggest challenge will be getting the house set up for baby?

Any projects you've recently done around the house? (AWs encouraged) Recently had the electrical redone in our house (not DIY!)
Any household projects that have been on the list for a while? hahaha, oh yes. MH and I are procrastinators so lots that need to be done. He was asking that I help him make a list last week which I thought was cute.
What do you think your biggest challenge will be getting the house set up for baby? We need to clean out baby's room which is currently a junk room. Once that's done MH will pull up the carpet and refinish the wood floors. The room will also be completely painted before we start setting up the nursery.
I think I'm about 5+1 according to my LMP! Baby is the size of a black peppercorn!
How are things going? How are you feeling?
I'm in shock... this wasn't expected or planned. My husband and I are major planners. We KNEW we wanted a 3rd, we even talked about starting to TTC next month. But more than anything, I'm so excited! I had baby fever pretty much ever since my 15m old daughter turned 1.
Upcoming appointments?
8 week US and appointment to meet the midwives at my practice is scheduled in 3 weeks.
What is your favourite thing about where you live? (House, neighbourhood, region etc.)
Well we're actually about to move (in 3 weeks)... and we're moving into the most amazing family friendly neighborhood with TONS of kids and babies!! Three of my mom-friends are about to pop out new babies too, so that's super exciting.
Any projects you've recently done around the house? (AWs encouraged)
Not a damn thing.
Any household projects that have been on the list for a while?
We've been building our dream home, and we close on Valentine's Day. I have a list a mile long of things to do, things to buy, all for the new house. We're moving in with pretty much no furniture besides our beds and my kids dressers.

I'm horrible at deciding on a theme, but I totally want a theme. Wish me luck!

Our house is set off the road, we can barey see the neighbors, whom we like, and have a food size chunk of woods and field to wander through. Plus we’ve worked hard on the mandscalingg, so i have a flowerbed thst is designed like a maze full of weeds and perennials, and our big veggie garden.

Not since we redid DD’s room fpr her arrival 4 years ago!

How are things going? How are you feeling? Great. Very few symptoms. I feel good but I’ve had back pain for the last week and a half that’s slowly subsiding. Not sure if it’s related to pregnancy or not. But I’m majorly bloated. Not being able to work out as much with my back being out and gaining weight from the holidays isn’t helping either. Thank goodness for leggings!!!!
Upcoming appointments? Monday is my first blood test! So excited and nervous!
What is your favourite thing about where you live? (House, neighbourhood, region etc.) it’s a great neighborhood with lots of families. We just moved in at the end of September and are just happy to not be living in a basement apartment and have a home to call our own. We have a three season porch that I can’t wait to relax on when the weather is warmer
Any projects you've recently done around the house? (AWs encouraged) we did a lot of cosmetic work after moving (painting) and still have some more unpacking and purging to do
Any household projects that have been on the list for a while? Awhile, no. But we have two bedrooms that need furnishing. One for the new addition and the other we would like to have as a guest room/office/vanity area.
What do you think your biggest challenge will be getting the house set up for baby?
getting it done in time and buying the things we will need and use and knowing what we can do without.
I’m totally considering getting the latest copy even thougj we kept all our baby gear...

5 +3
How are things going? How are you feeling?
Feeling good actually. Nausea is very minimal, which will worry me until my first US. A little more tired than usual, but again, nothing severe.
Upcoming appointments?
This coming Thursday at 6 +2 which be first apt. and first ultrasound.
What is your favourite thing about where you live? (House, neighbourhood, region etc.)
I love how accessible out house is to the major surrounding highways and the neighborhood in general. We could certainly get more house for the money further out from the city, but our commute time would increase drastically. We are also only a couple residential blocks from the elementary school which will be great when DD goes to school.
Any projects you've recently done around the house? (AWs encouraged)
We did our bathroom last year, but nothing more recent. The old bathroom had original tile from the 50's and a bath fitter that was showing its age. It was the thing I said needed to be done before DD grew out of her baby tub.
Any household projects that have been on the list for a while? Haha, everything. At some point we need to decide whether to move or redo the kitchen and put on an extension. Kitchen cabinets are original from 1953 right now. Prices in our area are astronomical though, so moving isn't in the cards for a couple more years.
What do you think your biggest challenge will be getting the house set up for baby?
Bedroom shuffling and space. Our house is 3 bedrooms, and small. So trying to figure out where to put guests after baby is born with be a challenge. Right now DD is in the smallest bedroom, and I think we'll leave her there so the baby can have the larger guest bedroom in the back of the house. Space will be tight though! Heck, its already tight.
Def. love the baby bargains book!
Hi! I'm 5 weeks and 4 days? I think? Idk. Anyway, TB is saying it's the size of a pencil eraser.
How are things going? How are you feeling?
Things are going pretty well. Nauseous and tired. I can't smell raw meat right now. I'm dreading having to go to the grocery store.
Upcoming appointments?
I have my first appt on the 29th. It's the confirmation appt and they do a dating ultrasound.
What is your favourite thing about where you live? (House, neighbourhood, region etc.)
I love that we are so close to our families without being right there. We also have a few cute bakeries and coffee shops. I especially love the yarn store. It's nice to get to just go sit there and knit.
Any projects you've recently done around the house? (AWs encouraged)
I've been a painting machine for the past few months. I'm proudest of the bathroom. It was a dark brown color and now it's a very relaxing blue.
Any household projects that have been on the list for a while?
We still need to redo the back yard. It has a filled in pool and it's just a mess. I want to get it done this spring or summer. Even if we just get the concrete fixed up, I'll be pleased.
ETA- I also eventually want to rip up the carpet and refinish the hardwoods.
What do you think your biggest challenge will be getting the house set up for baby?
I think the biggest challenge will be convincing DD to move to a bigger room just off the kitchen which is currently a catch all room. And that reminds me that we have the added project of closing up the double doorway between those rooms.
How far along are you? How big is baby?
5w4d (i think). The size od the M on an M&M.
How are things going? How are you feeling?
Feeling goood, which worries me. Ha.
Upcoming appointments? No appointment scheduled, but I'm going to the clinic to POAS and get the pregnancy documented ao i I can start the process!
What is your favourite thing about where you live? (House, neighbourhood, region etc.) I love my staight and its four seasons
Any projects you've recently done around the house? (AWs encouraged) mostly ignoring all the projects that need doing
Any household projects that have been on the list for a while? Redoing the room we dubbed "the paneled room" and updating the kitchen. Hoefully we do both before baby comes!
What do you think your biggest challenge will be getting the house set up for baby? No space/third bedroom! This'll be interesting. ...

Dec 2017 CP
Jan 2018 BFP:EDD 9-25
How are things going? How are you feeling? Some days are better than others, but my regular symptoms are nausea, smells that induce nausea (I'm looking at you, 21 year old in the office heating up the hot pocket), mild cramping and bloat/gas...OMG, the bloat is real! Unlike last pregnancy, I have ZERO breast tenderness.
Upcoming appointments? First appointment is 2/13. It should be both an OB appointment and US...hopefully.
What is your favourite thing about where you live? (House, neighbourhood, region etc.) I never get tired of looking west at the mountains! @sclarke7 Your home sounds like my dream home...so peaceful and lovely!
Any projects you've recently done around the house? (AWs encouraged) This was more for DH, but he had our old, tired pool table re-felted with orange bumpers and navy blue with a Broncos logo on it. It looks pretty amazing and he's really proud of it. All I care about is that he loves it, so it's a win!
Any household projects that have been on the list for a while? Our backyard, ugh. ALL THE THINGS need done...new fence, new grass, build shed, retaining wall, landscape. I told DH we are not having DD's 2nd birthday party at our house if there's no grass out back for the kids to play on, so it looks like we are having it at a park!
What do you think your biggest challenge will be getting the house set up for baby? Nothing too terribly challenging. Just turning the spare bedroom into the new nursery and getting rid of all the old things we really don't need that are in that closet! Oh god, the closet...
I am 5 weeks 5 days! The size of an eraser tip
How are things going? How are you feeling?
I feel queezy, tired, heart rate is high , night sweats,
Upcoming appointments?
Geneticist on Tuesday , Peri and ultrasound Feb 13th! And check up Feb 20th.
What is your favourite thing about where you live? (House, neighbourhood, region etc.) Like no nautral disasters! Philadelphia area!
Any projects you've recently done around the house? (AWs encouraged) no but I'm in nursing school so I'm studying and cleaning the house with all my time
Any household projects that have been on the list for a while?
Painting the dresser and shelf in the basement for the guest room which will now be the baby room! ( Hubs has got to paint it now!)
What do you think your biggest challenge will be getting the house set up for baby? Getting hubby ready honestly. He doesn't know what he's getting into.
5 weeks 6 days, about half the size of my pinky nail.
How are things going? How are you feeling?
Mostly fine. I have been tired, and went to bed at 8pm Wed. Had some nausea, but nothing too bad. The most noticeable symptom so far is boobs are sore.
Upcoming appointments?
My first appointment is Feb 7 -- I think that is *just* bloodwork and pap smear, so DH is not coming. After that, we'll have the "big" appointment where we get an US and hear the heart-beat, around week 10-11.
What is your favorite thing about where you live? (House, neighborhood, region etc.)
I really like my neighborhood. There are lots of families, a park a block away, and great running and walking routes.
Any projects you've recently done around the house? (AWs encouraged)
We tried to remodel a bathroom ourselves... and that got stalled for quite a bit. Actually hired contractors about a week before my BFP and they are scheduled to complete that project in mid-Feb (in the mean time we've been buying tile, vanity, etc.).
Any household projects that have been on the list for a while?
Uh... everything. I like the bones of our house but everything else could use some love. We have a wood-panel dishwasher. I'll leave it at that.
What do you think your biggest challenge will be getting the house set up for baby?
Knowing what we need, and what we can do without.
