Re: ~*Weekly PG Check-in*~
May I please be added? My EDD is 10/8/10. I'm not going to venture a guess about the sex, but I will update when we find out.
QOTW: I hope DC #2 gets DH's eyelashes. He has long, thick lashes that any woman would envy. DD got them, and I love it. She got my blue eyes, so I wouldn't mind if DC #2 gets DH's brown eyes.
I'm feeling pretty good. My fatigue is getting better and better, but I've had a headache for days now, and it just won't quit.
QOTW:I hope McKenzie gets DH's blue eyes and mile long lashes. I also hope she gets some of his height, but not too much. Being 5 foot 2 inches isn't much fun, but I also don't want a 6 foot 5 inch girl. I'm feeling ok this week. I have yet another doctor's appointment tomorrow, but I am thankful that they are doing so much to make sure LO is safe and snug. I've started having hip pain, I don't know if it's because of the extra weight from sitting at a desk, or what, but I swear the right hip might pop out of it's socket! (ok that was a little dramatic.) I'm crazy hungry this week, no cravings though.
Can I please be added as well? Due date is 10/29 and my guess is a girl, but who knows
If its another boy (or girl) I hope they get his stature/metabolism. DH's mom's side are all tall and slender-built. DS is definitely taking after as he seems to eat, eat, and eat and doesn't gain weight! DH used to be like that in high school/college, but then started to get gain some weight after, but that is mostly due to his fabulous cooking
I also would love if DC got my curly hair. There is something to be said about curly blond hair and how cute it looks on kids. I (and DH) would love a little girl with blond riglets!
I actually have energy today! I am ten weeks on Friday and have been soo fatigued and nauseous this pregnancy (vastly different then DS's pregnancy). I hope things are finally turning around with that!
QOTW: Well, I'd really like for this baby to have an eye color other than dark brown. I'd be happy with mine or DH's eye color. Not sure where Colton got those eyes from! Oh well, maybe he won't need glasses someday that way! I of course don't want this baby inheriting any stubbornness, which seems to come from both sides.
I haven't been feeling very good lately. I'm sure some of it has to do with how bad I'm eating, but I don't feel like making any special trips into town to buy some things I need to eat. I'm also just feeling unusually bad today, I'm not sure if it's something I ate, or maybe something I'm not eating, but I really wish I could get to feeling better already! It seems to be getting dragged out more this time.
QOTW: Well, thanks to our common traits, we figure our kids will have blonde hair, blue eyes, be left-handed and will need glasses and braces, haha. I do hope DC gets DH's easy-going and patient personality; hopefully also some of my artistic and musical ability.
Not feeling great. I've thrown up very little throughout the pregnancy, but the nausea has been non-stop and really kicking my butt. It gets worse during the late afternoons and evenings, and nothing seems to help (I've tried everything, it feels like, even Zofran). Really hoping relief is in sight.I hope that our little girl gets Shawn's nose (it's so cute) and my eyes. I wonder if she'll have my freckles!!!
As for how I'm feeling, I'd say I'm starting to get pretty uncomfortable. When I get up from sitting, I walk like I'm carrying a walrus in my tummy and I really think my legs are about to pop off. I'm hoping that doesn't happen...
DH has the prettiest hazel eyes! We thought DD was going to have them until about 6 months ago. Now they are light brown. I would love for the baby to get his eyes, but I know the chances aren't very good since I have brown eyes.
I've been feeling better- just exhausted. DD has been especially trying the last few weeks. Everything is a struggle, and I just haven't had the energy to deal with it! I'm hoping it is just a phase.
I had an appointment yesterday (10wks, 3 days), and the baby is doing great! I'll go back in on the 12th for the NT Scan and to continue monitoring my cervix. My appointments are every two weeks-- probably from now on!
Question of the week:
I hope he does NOT inherit my asthma and allergies, as Aubrey has. I feel guilty/responsible every time I have to give her a breathing treatment. I know it's not something I can control, but I also know it's MY genes that gave her such a crummy hand. I hope he gets his daddy's immune system and overall health.
And as always, how are you feeling today?
Feeling fine. Just tired and I think I'm getting to the insomnia part of pregnancy because I'm having a really tough time sleeping, despite the sleepiness! Have my 34 week appt tomorrow.
QOTW: I hope LO gets DH's big blue eyes and amazing eyelashes and my wavy brown hair.
I've been feeling pretty good (knock on wood). I've been tired, but today I've actually had some energy. Of course I'm running out of steam right before I leave work and have 100 things to do around the house tonight. I've been craving Taco Bell like crazy lately.
Our Family Blog
I hope DS gets DH's brown eyes, freckles, and musical talent, my hair, complexion, and resilience. I hope DS doesn't inherit my stubborn behavior, nor DH's terrible gas (r/t lactose intolerance).
I feel good. Have a little sciatic pain, but nothing too unpleasant. School is coming to an end, so I've been prepping for graduation related duties. The nursery is almost complete; we painted over SB, and set up the crib. Now all that's left to do is set up the changing table/hutch, and remove non-baby items from the closet.
QOTW: His skin. DD got his skin and not mine and I really hope #2 does as well. I am super pale and DH has beautiful olive skin. I burn just thinking about the sun and DH can be out all day and not burn at all. I've had tons of issues w/ possible skin cancers so I really don't want our kids to have to deal with that.
As for not getting - his ears. They aren't bad but one is different than the other. Otherwise - they can get all they want from him.
Updates: All is well. I have my 24 week appt tomorrow. I've had some pain but it's not horrible. 2nd tri is being pretty good to me.
Congrats to the newborns and new mamas
QOTW: I hope DD (YES! we found out yesterday that it's a GIRL!! )
has DH's height, dimples, patience, among many other attributes. 
and my brains (haha!), but rather my attention to detail.
Updates: I've been feeling tired and hungry but both are more than managable. I've also had pregnancy brain like crazy and it's getting really embarrassing and the headaches have peaked. The doc says they are related to the hormones rather than allergies. I'm starting to feel flutters (kicks) and love them.
Question - are there PG GTGs?
GTGs are organized by someone other than myself. I don't think anyone has taken on this duty, so it's up for grabs.
Congrats to Jennifer*L*923 and aras3k!!!
QOTW: I hope they get J's nose and not mine, but we've figured out this nose must fall on the dominant gene side. So far, Ocho's eyes are still blue, like J's. I think it would be great if she had his eyes - gorgeous. I won't be upset if Nove has my brown eyes though.
I hope they both have my drive and ambition, and J's confidence and laid back nature, if that's possible. 
Updates: Nove is coming in April, whether we're ready or not! At my last appointment, my dr said if she hasn't arrived by 38.5 weeks, we'll be inducing. Today is 4/1. My baby is coming this month!! I feel...excited-nervous-anxious-unprepared for 2 under 2.
Congrats Jennifer and aras3k!
QOTW: I hope that our LO gets DH's eyes. They're such a lovely shade of green. And also his athleticism. I am not very coordinated when it comes to sports, so it would be nice if he/she picked that up. The LO will definitely pick up German from him - we need our child to be able to communicate with DH's family! Anything I don't want them to get...stubbornness? But between having a German father and a redheaded mother, I don't know that that's going to happen.
I'm feeling pretty good. The sickness is gone, so now I'm just tired. And I'm hating my swollen feet...although they do give me a great reason to go home and lie on the couch at night!
ETA: I didn't read the question right. I totally want our child to have red hair like me. I need to keep the redhead genes alive!!
Congrats to all of the new mama's!
QOTW: I hope the little one gets DH's patience and cool character. I hate to admit it but I can be a little high strung at times and DH is always as cool as a cucumber.
I'm feeling terrible....I'm nauseous all....day....long. And much like Christym0606 I'm at the point that nothing helps. I know this will pass, but it is really hard to deal with sometimes (i.e. at work) Whine over!
Question of the week:
I hope LO will have our blue eyes (we both have blue eyes, but they are different shades) but his long eyelashes. I hope LO has his strawberry blonde hair. As DH grew up, it darkened over time but since we're both so pale and freckley, I think blonde hair will be more complementary! I hope LO gets my DH's immune system and demeanor because he's so easy going.
And as always, how are you feeling today?
I finally feel good!! Until about week 11 I was miserable. Now I have energy and I don't wake up nauseous. Yay!
I hope they get his blue eyes but not his bad vision. I hope they get both of our work ethics.
I am feeling okay. I get tired quickly but life must go on. The babies were 2 lbs 8 ozs and 3lbs and 3 ozs at 28w1d. I see the Peri at 32w and then weekly after that. We are still trying to get to 38w.
Welcome to the new babies!!
Married and it feels so good!
