Pregnant Questions
1. What week are you in? Any new aches or pains? I think 26. Lots of pushing movements when I am trying to get to sleep. But once I am out I am ok.
2. When is your next appointment? Will anything special happen at that appointment? Next Friday, gd test.
3. What are you looking forward to this week? Dinner with an old coworker tonight, some fun craft projects for Mason and I.
4. Monday confession? I ate 5 ding dongs last night.
5. What are some things you want to do or wished you did before baby came? ?Aimeejo I am glad we took the time for a night away before each of the boys, and date nights. Also reorganizing, things get crazy after a baby so do projects now.
6. Are you signing Christmas cards from the new baby, too, if you're not due until after the holidays? I see it printed on photo cards sometimes. ?MrsEditorJax No.
7. For moms of 1+, did you eventually get a nice (read expensive) stroller? My DH saw a BOB stroller in BRU and it's the ONLY piece of baby gear he's interested in...are they "worth it"? I think if you or he run it is worth it, but to buy it just for the looks no. You can also check cl, they are on there all the time. We will be getting a more expensive stroller this time, since I want a good double, but otherwise we have a graco we got with #1 and a smaller travel we got when #2 was a year old.

8. Questions for next week?
Pregnant Questions
1. What week are you in? Any new aches or pains? 26. Not much new - ligaments giving me grief
2. When is your next appointment? Will anything special happen at that appointment? 30th. Glucose test
3. What are you looking forward to this week? The weekend! I have girl time and a date with the hubs
4. Monday confession? Not feeling very bonded with the baby. I feel too busy & now starting to feel guilty. I put the nursery together a bit this weekend & filled the dresser with baby clothes. still not dawning on me. If eel like I"m all business about it
5. What are some things you want to do or wished you did before baby came? ?Aimeejo Make sure the nursery is 100% done. Sure baby won't be sleeping in there at first, but you won't have time/energy to deal with that stuff after baby's born.
6. Are you signing Christmas cards from the new baby, too, if you're not due until after the holidays? I see it printed on photo cards sometimes. ?MrsEditorJax nope. We haven't named the baby yet & it's NMS.
7. For moms of 1+, did you eventually get a nice (read expensive) stroller? My DH saw a BOB stroller in BRU and it's the ONLY piece of baby gear he's interested in...are they "worth it"? Yes. You'll use strollers so much for at least 3 years. IMO the Bob is only worth it if you're an avid runner. But for #2 I invested in a relatively expensive stroller that can be a single or double. The more that makes life smooth/simple, the better.

1. What week are you in? Any new aches or pains?

Thursday!
I'll be interrog--- I mean, I'll be asking my OB L&D questions and getting my RhoGAM shot. Whee!

Going to lunch with a friend of mine on Wednesday.

6. Are you signing Christmas cards from the new baby, too, if you're not due until after the holidays? I see it printed on photo cards sometimes. ?MrsEditorJax
We don't do holiday cards, generally. I suck at sending 'em. We'll probably sign the gifts as being from the three of us, though.
7. For moms of 1+, did you eventually get a nice (read expensive) stroller? My DH saw a BOB stroller in BRU and it's the ONLY piece of baby gear he's interested in...are they "worth it"?

Pregnant Questions
1. What week are you in? Any new aches or pains? Week 27. My ribs continue to ache, but I find I can get into a comfy position most of the time. I'm just so thankful that I don't have sleep issues or other problems.
2. When is your next appointment? Will anything special happen at that appointment? Next Monday I have a bi-weekly Mid-wife check in and they'll do the GD test then.
3. What are you looking forward to this week? A fairly quiet week. I get some unpleasant business over with in the early part of the week and then should be able to skate through the rest of it.
4. Monday confession? I continue to not do as well as I should with my diet and exercise- I used to be so good about it! I've been a little better, but I feel like I'm letting myself go and will pay for it later.
5. What are some things you want to do or wished you did before baby came? ?Aimeejo I feel like I did everything I wanted to do before. What I'd like to do going forward is to be a parent who travels with their child and doesn't allow her addition to be something that kills our thirst for adventure.
6. Are you signing Christmas cards from the new baby, too, if you're not due until after the holidays? I see it printed on photo cards sometimes. ?MrsEditorJax Heck no- way too cheesy for me. I only send X-Mas cards out 1/2 the time. This year I'm just sending them in reply to ones we get from other people and I'll send out a bunch on behalf of my grandfather.
7. For moms of 1+, did you eventually get a nice (read expensive) stroller? My DH saw a BOB stroller in BRU and it's the ONLY piece of baby gear he's interested in...are they "worth it"?
8. Questions for next week?
Pregnant Questions
1. What week are you in? Any new aches or pains? Week 12, still miserable with m/s and now also fighting a cold. Sigh.
2. When is your next appointment? Will anything special happen at that appointment? This Thur. - regular check up.
3. What are you looking forward to this week? Hearing babies heartbeat again!
4. Monday confession? Today is one of those days I wish I could just stay home and didn't have to go to work. That is more of a whine than a confession.
5. What are some things you want to do or wished you did before baby came? Looking back, I wish we would have traveled more, just DH and me.
6. Are you signing Christmas cards from the new baby, too, if you're not due until after the holidays? I see it printed on photo cards sometimes. I don't think we will. Just in case anything happens, I'm kind of paranoid.
7. For moms of 1+, did you eventually get a nice (read expensive) stroller? My DH saw a BOB stroller in BRU and it's the ONLY piece of baby gear he's interested in...are they "worth it"? I'm on the fence on this one. I want a decent stroller for 2, but I don't want to drop $500+. Also, it seems like anything on the more affordable side is cheaply made.
8. Questions for next week? none that I can think of
You're very welcome!
1. What week are you in? Any new aches or pains? 29 on Thursday. Nothing more than the usual aches.
2. When is your next appointment? Will anything special happen at that appointment? I have a glucose check on Thursday, and a regular appointment on the 28th.
3. What are you looking forward to this week? Christmas shopping. I'm on a roll.
4. Monday confession? I really want to hire someone to come clean my house while DH is at work and then pretend I did it.
5. What are some things you want to do or wished you did before baby came? ?Aimeejo Nothing really ... Slept maybe?
6. Are you signing Christmas cards from the new baby, too, if you're not due until after the holidays? I see it printed on photo cards sometimes. ?MrsEditorJax I don't think I'm going to. It's our last Christmas and family photos as a family of three.
7. For moms of 1+, did you eventually get a nice (read expensive) stroller? My DH saw a BOB stroller in BRU and it's the ONLY piece of baby gear he's interested in...are they "worth it"? I am not buying another stroller. We have a Peg Perego Pilko, a Maclaren Triumph and a jogging stroller, and between them, we'll be good. I don't expect Collin to want to ride in the stroller at all, and if he has to, there are usually two adults (me and DH or me and my mom) so we can put one kid in each.
8. Questions for next week? What is the first taboo thing you're going to do once you're not pregnant anymore?
TTCing Questions
1. What cycle are you on? Waiting to O or 2WW? Cycle 2, waiting to O
2. What are you looking forward to this week? Heading off up north of Australia for 6 days with my boys! We are taking Coop to the theme parks, bit of relaxation, sunshine & hopefully TTC
3. Monday confession? I just added in all our spending for the month of Oct into a spreatsheet & realised that I spent over $500 on myself for clothing! Lucky DH never looks at the bank statements or our spreatsheet
4. Questions for next week? When do you do your OPK testing? Morming or afternoon?
Pregnant Questions
1. What week are you in? Any new aches or pains? - 16. I feel pretty good except I feel uber fat.
2. When is your next appointment? Will anything special happen at that appointment? - December 5th. Nothing special.
3. What are you looking forward to this week? - Having my sister take a Christmas card photo for us (she just bought a ridiculously nice camera that she has no clue how to use so I figure if I set it up and get the settings right she just has to focus and take the picture)
4. Monday confession? - I'm way more laid abck about this pregnancy. Especially with caffeine intake. I rarely drank any with Jake and I have caffeine at least once a day now. Lame confession, I know.
5. What are some things you want to do or wished you did before baby came? ?Aimeejo - We weren't TTC so I definitely wanted to wait longer between babies to pay off loans and save up PTO at work. But life happens. So now I just want to enjoy just having one baby as much as possible before the next one comes along.
6. Are you signing Christmas cards from the new baby, too, if you're not due until after the holidays? I see it printed on photo cards sometimes. ?MrsEditorJax - Nope
7. For moms of 1+, did you eventually get a nice (read expensive) stroller? My DH saw a BOB stroller in BRU and it's the ONLY piece of baby gear he's interested in...are they "worth it"? -shevaCC - We ended up buying a Baby Jogger City Select to use for this baby because it can be used as a double. With Jake we had a Chicco travel system and a BOB. We sold both of those to buy the new one since it can be a single or a double.
8. Questions for next week?
1. What week are you in? Any new aches or pains? 16 nothing new but the sciatic is getting worse.
2. When is your next appointment? Will anything special happen at that appointment? 22nd nothing special...but I will hopefully get to set up my a/s.
3. What are you looking forward to this week? Friday when I can go pick dd up from my parents house (she will be there for a week).
4. Monday confession? I really want to order dd a toddler bedding set but I don't know if it is worth spending the money on, but I will probably do it anyways (I know lame confession).
5. What are some things you want to do or wished you did before baby came? ?Aimeejo Probably travel more but I will continue to travel even after we have a second. I'm hoping to take both kids to Brazil in the next few years.
6. Are you signing Christmas cards from the new baby, too, if you're not due until after the holidays? I see it printed on photo cards sometimes. ?MrsEditorJax I don't usually get Christmas cards out but if I do I might.
7. For moms of 1+, did you eventually get a nice (read expensive) stroller? My DH saw a BOB stroller in BRU and it's the ONLY piece of baby gear he's interested in...are they "worth it"? I'm really tempted to. I want a Phil and Ted but I don't know if we can afford it/should afford it.
TTCing Questions
1. What cycle are you on? Waiting to O or 2WW? 2ww I think, calendar wise it is, but I never had any strong ovulation signs and no positive OPKs (but I started testing later) so who knows.
2. What are you looking forward to this week? the weekend. It already feels like it should be Thursday so I think it is going to be a long week...
3. Monday confession? It is getting harder as more moms from baby group are pregnant with #2.
4. Questions for next week anyone remember the recommended amount of sleep before temping? I don't think it will work with E waking up so much, but I wish I could temp to know what is going on.
Pregnant Questions
1. What week are you in? Any new aches or pains? Almost 28 weeks (side note: I can't believe how many people are 26-29 weeks here!). I had some pretty painful cramping/muscle pain last week in my uterus, but I think it was just Baby Girl stretching and growing.
2. When is your next appointment? Will anything special happen at that appointment? This Wednesday. Glucose test. Reading posts the last few hours has me convinced I'm going to fail.
3. What are you looking forward to this week? The weekend! Also, DH has his Daddy class Thursday night, so I can't wait to hear about that. He is so psyched!
4. Monday confession? I haven't done anything toward getting the nursery ready, other than buying the crib and dresser. The Third Tri board is flooded with photos of finished nurseries and it FREAKS ME OUT.
5. What are some things you want to do or wished you did before baby came? ?Aimeejo FTM here, but I'm hoping to get way with DH for one last weekend to a B&B.
6. Are you signing Christmas cards from the new baby, too, if you're not due until after the holidays? I see it printed on photo cards sometimes. ?MrsEditorJax No. But I'll be happy just to get cards out, let alone signed.
7. For moms of 1+, did you eventually get a nice (read expensive) stroller? My DH saw a BOB stroller in BRU and it's the ONLY piece of baby gear he's interested in...are they "worth it"? FTM, but just wanted to throw in here that we're getting the Britax B-Agile stroller and I'm so excited about it!

8. Questions for next week?
Pregnant Questions
1. What week are you in? Any new aches or pains? 17, right now no pregnancy related complaints, though I'm trying to fight off a cold and failing, I'm afraid
2. When is your next appointment? Will anything special happen at that appointment? A/S ultrasound on Monday :-)
3. What are you looking forward to this week? Hoping my husband will install the new light fixtures we got
4. Monday confession? Wednesday confession...I slept in the guest room last night bc my husband was recovering from a stomach virus. I slept so much better I'm thinking of sleeping there again tonight
5. What are some things you want to do or wished you did before baby came? ?Aimeejo I'm hoping to have some meals in the freezer before baby comes since I realize how tired I am now without a little one and am scared of the thought of having even less time. Also hoping to get some house projects out of the way
6. Are you signing Christmas cards from the new baby, too, if you're not due until after the holidays? I see it printed on photo cards sometimes. ?MrsEditorJax Don't think so...I only rarely manage to get cards sent out and probably won't bother trying this year. I'll aim to get birth announcements sent out at least before NEXT Christmas
7. For moms of 1+, did you eventually get a nice (read expensive) stroller? My DH saw a BOB stroller in BRU and it's the ONLY piece of baby gear he's interested in...are they "worth it"? My question, thanks for all the great responses so far!

this is a good idea!

3. Monday confession? So tired of DHs work schedule, and him whining about his ankle while I have to drive everywhere, do everything in the house and do all these shots...ARG!!
