    Hi everyone! I am so excited that we are all just about halfway there!  Weekly Questions: Who had their a/s over the last week? How did it go? Who has their a/s this week? I have mine tomorrow! It is my first ultrasound so I am nervous but so excited. Can't wait to find out if LO is a boy or a girl, but of course just hoping he/she is healthy!  Who has started their nursery or started shopping for LO? We haven't actually bought anything yet, but have picked out most of the things we are going to buy/register for. Assuming everything looks good tomorrow I think we are going to celebrate by doing some baby shopping! How are you feeling? Any lasting symptoms, new symptoms, odd pregnancy cravings? For the most part, great! I have definitely noticed an increase in my hunger the last week or so, and am moving away from the carb cravings I had in first tri and into heavier, protein-rich foods. Burgers sounded absolutely disgusting for the first few weeks but now I want them all the time!  Team Green? Team Pink? Team Blue? Still waiting to find out? Still waiting! I have had a strong feeling that it is a boy though, dreams and everything. We will find out tomorrow! How is everyone sleeping? Suggestions for mamas who are not sleeping well? Not great. I have started sleeping with a body pillow which does help me a lot, but I still wake up a lot throughout the night. I have been compensating by leaving work early for an afternoon nap whenever I can get away with it :-)

    Jess- Have a wonderful time at your a/s tomorrow! We had ours on Friday and I was nervous as well since it was our first u/s of LO... it was AMAZING to see him/her "swimmimg" around in there!

  • Who had their a/s over the last week? How did it go? Who has their a/s this week?

    We had our a/s on Thursday and found out we are having a boy!! We can't be more thrilled and excited! The whole time I was thinking it was a girl and the night before I had a dream it was a boy.

    Who has started their nursery or started shopping for LO?

    We are just about done the nursery (well DH is). The furniture was delivered last week and there are just a few touch ups to the paint left.

    How are you feeling? Any lasting symptoms, new symptoms, odd pregnancy cravings? 

    I've been feeling really good, aside from swollen feet and ankles.

    Team Green? Team Pink? Team Blue? Still waiting to find out? Happy to say we are team BLUE!

    How is everyone sleeping? Suggestions for mamas who are not sleeping well?

    Over the past two weeks I have been waking up more with hip cramps and arms falling asleep. I have the body pillow but I think I just need to change positions so often anymore.

  • a/s was on the 5th - everything was fine except for my previa. Honestly I'm already more than 1/2 way through this pregnancy. If it follows suit from my first, my son was 3 weeks early. This one is likely headed there too. At least 1-2 weeks early, so I'm already there!!!

    We are team blue again. Names are all we seem to talk about right now.

    As for the nursery, ours is done. We are moving my son from the nursery into his big boy room, I will do one big deep clean & it's staying the way it was for our first!

    Sleeping just fine. Nothing is uncomfortable. I'm still waking up on my belly sometimes, so I know my body isn't having any sleep issues right now.

    As for cravings Buffalo style everything. I would eat hot wings for every meal if someone let me.

    Weekly Questions:

    Who had their a/s over the last week? How did it go? Who has their a/s this week? Mine was 2 weeks ago -- LO was active and perfect, measuring 2 days ahead.

    Who has started their nursery or started shopping for LO?  We ordered our crib and nursery decor (purple safari theme) this weekend -- I know the majority of the items aren't necessity or even usable right away, but DH likes everything matching and it was a good sale, so we went for it.  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004LBZLY4

    How are you feeling? Any lasting symptoms, new symptoms, odd pregnancy cravings?  Still feeling really good, though not gaining any weight yet (down 12 lbs); I have my 20 week checkup tomorrow, so we'll see what the OB says -- she wasn't concerned at my 16 week appt.  New symptom is plantar fasciitis in my left heel; it sounds like it's pretty common in pregnancy due to the loosening ligaments, but very annoyingly painful!

    Team Green? Team Pink? Team Blue? Still waiting to find out?  Team pink!

    How is everyone sleeping? Suggestions for mamas who are not sleeping well?  Not sleeping well at all, but I had issues with insomnia and RLS prior to being pregnant, so I expected to have problems.

    Congrats on team pink! I think I will be joining you on Thursday!

  • Who had their a/s over the last week? How did it go? Who has their a/s this week?

    My a/s is on Thursday!

    Who has started their nursery or started shopping for LO?

    We just moved into a new apartment and I have the nursery cleaned out and the stuff I have accumulated for the baby is in there. I have a plan on what I want to do but have not actually started on it yet. 

    How are you feeling? Any lasting symptoms, new symptoms, odd pregnancy cravings?

    I don't really have any symptoms and I didn't think I had any weird cravings but I got the weirdest look from my husband when I was eating pickles with cream cheese last night. 

    Team Green? Team Pink? Team Blue? Still waiting to find out?

    I will find out Thursday (with any luck the baby will cooperate) whether we are team pink or blue. I can not wait to see my LO! 

    How is everyone sleeping? Suggestions for mamas who are not sleeping well?

    I keep waking up with a throbbing in my left hip. Some of my mommy friends keep telling me it is a sign of sciatica. I use my baby pillow but it does not seem to work. I will be asking my dr. about it at my next appointment. 

    I have not been added to the Jan 3 list. I can't believe we are already half way through our pregnancies.

    Good morning everyone!  mrsodonnell12 can you add me to the list?  Katrine Due January 2.  Thank you!

    Who had their a/s over the last week? How did it go? Who has their a/s this week?

    I had my a/s in two parts, we have a very stubborn LO!  First part was August 1st, it was our first U/S and it was amazing seeing LO for the first time!  Second part was on Friday and after being patient and moving positions quite a few times, the tech finally got all the measurements she needed!

    Who has started their nursery or started shopping for LO?

    I've bought a few things here and there.  Some clothes and a diaper bag.  We have a lot of people giving us stuff, so there is no point shopping until I know what I'll already have.

    How are you feeling? Any lasting symptoms, new symptoms, odd pregnancy cravings? 

    I'm feeling good for the most part. Still tired but not as exhausted as during first tri.  I'm waking up much more during the night.  My sciatic is starting to hurt more and more, very happy I have a chiro appt this afternoon!

    Team Green? Team Pink? Team Blue? Still waiting to find out?

    We are TEAM PINK!!! Couldn't be more excited!  I was convinced it was a boy, so I was a little surprised!

    How is everyone sleeping? Suggestions for mamas who are not sleeping well?

    I'm sleeping ok, I just wake up a few times a night (I normally never wake up).  I make sure I stop drinking fluids by 6-7pm, so that I'm not up peeing in the night.  It works most of the time.

    Congrats on team pink and welcome to the group! I have added you to our roll call!

  • Who had their a/s over the last week? How did it go? Who has their a/s this week? We had ours about two weeks ago, LOs are growing perfectly.

    Who has started their nursery or started shopping for LO? We have done both :) The nursery has been painted and I'm going to start decorating it here and there, the cribs and the changing table are all put together :) We've bought a few clothes and a good amount of diapers in varying sizes and brands.

    How are you feeling? Any lasting symptoms, new symptoms, odd pregnancy cravings? Overall, pretty good. I've got my bad days where I'm really hormonal, nauseous and tired but for the most part I've been feeling great. Definitely more hungry. No weird cravings yet.

    Team Green? Team Pink? Team Blue? Still waiting to find out? Team Blue x 2.

    How is everyone sleeping? Suggestions for mamas who are not sleeping well? I'm sleeping pretty well, actually fell asleep last night as soon as my head hit the pillow. My only issue is pulling myself out of bed. I can sleep for 9-10 hours and I don't feel like it's enough. Sleeping with the fan on is a must for me, and a firm accent pillow between my legs does the trick.

  • Who had their a/s over the last week? How did it go? Who has their a/s this week?

     Ours is August 19th!!

    Who has started their nursery or started shopping for LO?

    I still have to get the nursery cleaned out as it is currently a spare room; I'll start shopping after my a/s.

    How are you feeling? Any lasting symptoms, new symptoms, odd pregnancy cravings? 

    I am feeling really good, finally!

    Team Green? Team Pink? Team Blue? Still waiting to find out?

    Still waiting to find out.

    How is everyone sleeping? Suggestions for mamas who are not sleeping well?

    I was sleeping great, until last night. Hopefully last night was just a fluke.

    As for cravings Buffalo style everything. I would eat hot wings for every meal if someone let me.

     

    I woud LOVE to eat wings for every meal..... YUM!!! Also- congrats on team blue! That is exciting! I am so jealous that your nursery is done!

  • Who had their a/s over the last week? How did it go? Who has their a/s this week?

         Mine isn't until August 20th, one week away! 

    Who has started their nursery or started shopping for LO?

         I've got our registry almost completely done but I've only bought one giraffe toy. We're doing gender neutral stuff so we didn't need to wait to find out what we're having. 

    How are you feeling? Any lasting symptoms, new symptoms, odd pregnancy cravings? 

         Other than my sinuses going crazy [& bloody] I'm still feeling great!

    Team Green? Team Pink? Team Blue? Still waiting to find out?

         We should find out August 20th! Hoping LO behaves. 

    How is everyone sleeping? Suggestions for mamas who are not sleeping well?

         I wake up once a night to pee [but I've always done that because I overload too close to bedtime!] I love my body pillow though - it's just a full length normal pillow not a maternity one and I don't think I'd be as comfortable without it! 

  • Who had their a/s over the last week? How did it go? Who has their a/s this week?

    A/S is tomorrow!

    Who has started their nursery or started shopping for LO?

    Haven't bought anything yet. Won't need a lot but still trying to decide what new furniture/accessories we will need (another crib vs toddler bed for DS, etc)

    How are you feeling? Any lasting symptoms, new symptoms, odd pregnancy cravings? 

    I'm feeling good--lots of movement and peeing all the time. 

    Team Green? Team Pink? Team Blue? Still waiting to find out?

    A/S is tomorrow but our early u/s guess was boy, so fairly certain we'll officially be Team Blue tomorrow!

    How is everyone sleeping? Suggestions for mamas who are not sleeping well?

    I sleep okay. I have begun to take over the bed with pillows already. I currently use 3 (think I got up to 4-5 at the end of my first pregnancy). I have one on either side to hold/keep me on my side and one under my head. It's a good thing we have a big bed :)

    So excited to find out what Team all you New Years Mamas will be joining!! Love this part of pregnancy!

  • Weekly Questions:

    Who had their a/s over the last week? How did it go? Who has their a/s this week? We had our a/s on Thursday and our 20 week check with our midwife. Everything went perfect! It was SO much fun to see LO for the first time! He/she was squirming all over the place, making the tech's job very difficult! I was in awe the whole hour that it took. LO is measuring 6 days ahead, but they will not be changing my due date since LO will most likely be a big baby based on DH and I being humongous when we were born and we are 100% sure on the date of conception. The gender is in a sealed envelope for our cupcake reveal on Thursday- I am SOOOOO anxious and still thinking girl... we will know soon! The only slightly negative part of the day was my midwife wants me to start gaining faster. I thought I was on track, but apparently I need to eat more, which DH and I thought was so funny since I have been eating SOOOO much!

    Who has started their nursery or started shopping for LO? We bought a swing, boppy, boppy cover and bouncer for LO this weekend. We found great stuff for a great deal! $84 for all of that from Once Upon a Child! Love a good deal!! I plan to start cleaning out the baby's room this weekend... it is currently our storage room since we moved at the beginning of July. I am NOT looking forward to it!

    How are you feeling? Any lasting symptoms, new symptoms, odd pregnancy cravings?  I have been feeling good other than sleeping kind of poorly. I am EXHAUSTED in the morning. No odd pregnancy cravings....

    Team Green? Team Pink? Team Blue? Still waiting to find out? Still waiting to find out.... Thursday!!

    How is everyone sleeping? Suggestions for mamas who are not sleeping well? Not sleeping well and no suggestions for others!

  • Good morning ladies! Another week done...... we are all almost at the half way mark.... WOO HOOO!!!!

    Weekly Questions:

    Who had their a/s over the last week? How did it go? Who has their a/s this week?

    We had our a/s on August 3, and we are expecting a little boy! So excited!! Doctor said everything was measuring perfectly!

    Who has started their nursery or started shopping for LO?

    We have our nursery theme (bedding, wall decor) and furniture picked out. We are doing raccoons and forest animals for our theme. We are having someone paint and do a mural and then getting carpet! I am a little down though because the furniture set that I fell in love with is currently unavailable. I emailed customer service and they said that their inventory is updated several times a day, but it is completely off their website...Sad

    How are you feeling? Any lasting symptoms, new symptoms, odd pregnancy cravings? Still throwing up a few times each week in the AM, but after that I am fine. No cravings, but I have to get up to pee 10-15 times a night!! This just started this past weekend.

    Team Green? Team Pink? Team Blue? Still waiting to find out? Team blue!!

    How is everyone sleeping? Suggestions for mamas who are not sleeping well?

    I would be sleeping good if I didn't have to get up so much to pee, and I do need to switch sides a few times each night. I have to say, I do LOVE my body pillow!

    Oh my gosh YES!! I?ve been going through a bottle of Frank?s Red Hot (Buffalo Style) a WEEK!!!

     

    Aside from that:

     Who had their a/s over the last week? How did it go? Who has their a/s this week? ours is scheduled for this Thursday-sooo excited, but a bit upset because DH was supposed to be off that day & now  has to work (& we can't reschedule without pusing it back 3-4 weeks Sad )

    Who has started their nursery or started shopping for LO? We've done a bit, but mostly people have been donating their lo's outgrown items so I've been crazy busy checking recalls, etc. to make sure they're still ok...there have been a few victims to my stepfather's shop equipment (making them unusable before they go in the dumpster-someone gave us a 10 year old CARSEAT?!? a: not supposed to re-use them and B: they DO expire!)

    Fortunately our nursery is almost done (major stuff anyway), we just need to assemble the crib & do some decorating the painting is already done & the rest of the furniture is already in...

    How are you feeling? Any lasting symptoms, new symptoms, odd pregnancy cravings?  I finally feel amazing!!! Finally doing something more than being a bump on a log...though I'm starting to get a bit overwhelmed by the amout of things that need to be done (& so SOON!!) as we were in the middle of renovating our house when we found out about the pregnancy-sooo much that will need to be done before the LO arrives!!

    Team Green? Team Pink? Team Blue? Still waiting to find out? TEAM BLUE!! (I wanted a girl, but DH wanted a boy-super excited anyways)

    How is everyone sleeping? Suggestions for mamas who are not sleeping well? no sleep problems (yet) except sometimes I have trouble "shutting down" for the night because of my ever-increasing to-do lists...

  • Who had their a/s over the last week? How did it go? Who has their a/s this week?

    Who has started their nursery or started shopping for LO?

    the only thing i've really bought is yarn to knit an afghan (which i've started) and the onesie where i got the color inspiration from.....dh has started to sort through the crap in the 2nd bedroom, and his friend is coming up on saturday to help...and his friend has rented a table at a toy show coming up to help us sell all this crap...i told dh, he can't come home until it's all sold.....after our a/s on thursday, we're going to hit the stores and start our registry

    How are you feeling? Any lasting symptoms, new symptoms, odd pregnancy cravings? 

    i think my m/s has finally ended!!!! it's been 7 work days (i never threw up on the weekends) m/s free! i'm so excited!!! however, i'm not sure if my uti is gone..i called my ob before and i'm going back in today to pic for them....i didn't know i had one...and right now, the only symptom is pressure on my bladder, which i'm not sure if it's baby or not...i also think the baby might be kicking my bladder :/ but i'm pretty sure i've randomly felt it the last week or so! 

    Team Green? Team Pink? Team Blue? Still waiting to find out?

    still team green! 

    How is everyone sleeping? Suggestions for mamas who are not sleeping well?

    i've never had any problems sleeping...i'm always tired....i have been getting up more often in the middle of the night to pee, but other than that...i've been ok....but i have been finding it hard not to sleep on my back....

  • Hello! Can I be added to the list? I'm Melanie, due Jan. 5

    Who had their a/s over the last week? How did it go? Who has their a/s this week? Mine's scheduled for Thursday. I'm so excited!

    Who has started their nursery or started shopping for LO? We got a crib already, and my mom has apparently been shopping for a lot of clothes already.

    How are you feeling? Any lasting symptoms, new symptoms, odd pregnancy cravings? I've been craving what DH calls "see-food," basically, I see food (on TV, in a restaurant, wherever) and I HAVE to have it RIGHT NOW, no matter what it is. I also can't seem to get enough really spicy food lately, and then of course get to deal with the heartburn that comes after.

    Team Green? Team Pink? Team Blue? Still waiting to find out? Still waiting, kind of hoping for a girl, but honestly, I will be happy either way!

    How is everyone sleeping? Suggestions for mamas who are not sleeping well? I can never seem to get/stay comfortable at night and my allergies have been out of control. My OB suggested taking half a dose of Tylenol PM to help with both of those.

  • Who had their a/s over the last week? How did it go? Who has their a/s this week?

    I had my A/S this morning.  It went perfect! Everything looks amazing!

    Who has started their nursery or started shopping for LO?

    I havent started the nursery yet.  And havent bought much.  But that will change now that we know what we are having :)

    How are you feeling? Any lasting symptoms, new symptoms, odd pregnancy cravings?

    I feel really good.  Still tired most of the time.  And my acid reflux has kicked it up a notch the past few days.  The weirdest new symptom is my tail bone is killing me!!!

    Team Green? Team Pink? Team Blue? Still waiting to find out?

    We found out this morning we are team PINK!!! SO excited <3

    How is everyone sleeping? Suggestions for mamas who are not sleeping well?

    I Having a hard time sleeping.  I just cant seem to get comfortable. I have a L shaped pillow, and it seems to help a lot.  I cant imagine trying to sleep without it (and DH loves it for playing video games :P )

    Hello! Can I be added to the list? I'm Melanie, due Jan. 5

    Who had their a/s over the last week? How did it go? Who has their a/s this week? Mine's scheduled for Thursday. I'm so excited!

    Who has started their nursery or started shopping for LO? We got a crib already, and my mom has apparently been shopping for a lot of clothes already.

    How are you feeling? Any lasting symptoms, new symptoms, odd pregnancy cravings? I've been craving what DH calls "see-food," basically, I see food (on TV, in a restaurant, wherever) and I HAVE to have it RIGHT NOW, no matter what it is. I also can't seem to get enough really spicy food lately, and then of course get to deal with the heartburn that comes after.

    Team Green? Team Pink? Team Blue? Still waiting to find out? Still waiting, kind of hoping for a girl, but honestly, I will be happy either way!

    How is everyone sleeping? Suggestions for mamas who are not sleeping well? I can never seem to get/stay comfortable at night and my allergies have been out of control. My OB suggested taking half a dose of Tylenol PM to help with both of those.

     

     

    Added! Welcome to the group!

  • Who had their a/s over the last week? How did it go? Who has their a/s this week?

                    Nope, had mine Aug 3. Cant believe that was our last a/s ever (well..planned anyway). Made the moment bitter/sweet and tried to remember every moment! 

    Who has started their nursery or started shopping for LO?

                    I basically have everything, and i babysit a friends son 3 days a week, so i still have the crib up in our spare bedroom that will be the nursery..but other than that the room is totally empty lol. im a slacker mama 

    How are you feeling? Any lasting symptoms, new symptoms, odd pregnancy cravings? 

           still have the sickness...got sick 4 outta the past 7 days, but i was sick the whole time w/ my DS, so i kinda figured i'd get stuck w/ it again this time  

    Team Green? Team Pink? Team Blue? Still waiting to find out? TEAM GREEN!!!!

    How is everyone sleeping? Suggestions for mamas who are not sleeping well?

  • Who had their a/s over the last week? How did it go? Who has their a/s this week?  We have our 20 week appt next Monday!  im really excited.  Hopefully we will get some good pictures.

    Who has started their nursery or started shopping for LO?  We bought furniture, but we have to paint it all, which is a disaster btw.  I am so frustrated.  We know what bedding we want, but we just havent bought it yet.  My husband seems to think we have soooo much time left, so he of course is in no rush.  lol.  I laugh now, but really, it irritates me that he thinks we have so much time.  I would rather be early than late.  I really havent bought ANYTHING for him yet! :(

    How are you feeling? Any lasting symptoms, new symptoms, odd pregnancy cravings?   Im feeling great most of the time.  I can notice the weight of him now.  My hips and lower back start to hurt every now and then and I can tell its just the weight difference.  I almost wish I had cravings, I havent had any!

    Team Green? Team Pink? Team Blue? Still waiting to find out?   We are team BLUE!!!  VERY excited to have a little man.  :)

    How is everyone sleeping? Suggestions for mamas who are not sleeping well?  Ehhh, not so well. I am a sleep person, I can typically always sleep, but I toss and turn and get up to go to the bathroom like 12 times a night, hard to get good sleep that way.  I have no suggestions, cause what I have going on doesnt work!  lol

    Weekly Questions:

    Who had their a/s over the last week? How did it go? Who has their a/s this week? We had our a/s on Thursday and our 20 week check with our midwife. Everything went perfect! It was SO much fun to see LO for the first time! He/she was squirming all over the place, making the tech's job very difficult! I was in awe the whole hour that it took. LO is measuring 6 days ahead, but they will not be changing my due date since LO will most likely be a big baby based on DH and I being humongous when we were born and we are 100% sure on the date of conception. The gender is in a sealed envelope for our cupcake reveal on Thursday- I am SOOOOO anxious and still thinking girl... we will know soon! The only slightly negative part of the day was my midwife wants me to start gaining faster. I thought I was on track, but apparently I need to eat more, which DH and I thought was so funny since I have been eating SOOOO much!

    Who has started their nursery or started shopping for LO? We bought a swing, boppy, boppy cover and bouncer for LO this weekend. We found great stuff for a great deal! $84 for all of that from Once Upon a Child! Love a good deal!! I plan to start cleaning out the baby's room this weekend... it is currently our storage room since we moved at the beginning of July. I am NOT looking forward to it!

    How are you feeling? Any lasting symptoms, new symptoms, odd pregnancy cravings?  I have been feeling good other than sleeping kind of poorly. I am EXHAUSTED in the morning. No odd pregnancy cravings....

    Team Green? Team Pink? Team Blue? Still waiting to find out? Still waiting to find out.... Thursday!!

    How is everyone sleeping? Suggestions for mamas who are not sleeping well? Not sleeping well and no suggestions for others!

    A/S is this Wednesday!  Woo-hoo 2 more days!

    Who has started their nursery or started shopping for LO?

    We haven't bought a single thing yet.  Started looking at furniture.  Yikes, I feel like a bad mom already ;-)

    How are you feeling? Any lasting symptoms, new symptoms, odd pregnancy cravings? 

    Feel good!  Still can't eat any meat or chicken.  Had hoped it would go away after 1st Tri, but I guess my meat aversion is here to stay. 

    Team Green? Team Pink? Team Blue? Still waiting to find out?

    Find out Wednesday - i'm convinced Team Pink, DH convinced Team Blue

    How is everyone sleeping? Suggestions for mamas who are not sleeping well?

    Sleep OK (except for this bad cold I have now) but am going to be sad once I can no longer sleep on my stomach!!

  • Weekly Questions:

    Who had their a/s over the last week? How did it go? Who has their a/s this week?

    We have ours Thursday afternoon when I'll officially be 20 weeks! Then the next day we leave for our babymoon, which is really exciting.

    Who has started their nursery or started shopping for LO?

     We were gifted a lot of secondhand items, and I have the cloth diapers I'm going to start with.  I think that this point we really just need some onesies.  We don't have a spare room in this house for a nursery, so for the first year or so, LO will just sleep in our room anyway.

    How are you feeling? Any lasting symptoms, new symptoms, odd pregnancy cravings?  

    Still feeling pretty good, just REALLY hungry now.  I do notice my feet swell up some by the end of the day.

    Team Green? Team Pink? Team Blue? Still waiting to find out?

     Team Green 

    How is everyone sleeping? Suggestions for mamas who are not sleeping well?

    I'm finding I can feel reallllly rested on very little sleep lately - if I come home wiped out, I can nap for about 10 minutes and feel like it was 6 hours.  I feel like this is a good set-up when small intervals will be my only option, so I hope it lasts...

  • Who had their a/s over the last week? How did it go? Who has their a/s this week?

    Our a/s is on Friday! I'm torn between wanting the week to go super fast and savoring the last week of summer break before school starts back up :)

    Who has started their nursery or started shopping for LO?

    The nursery shopping process has begun.  My mom has already jumped on buying his bedding set (Alexander from PB Kids) and we have picked out our nursery furniture we just need to order it.

    How are you feeling? Any lasting symptoms, new symptoms, odd pregnancy cravings?

    I'm still feeling pretty great!  I have discovered that drinking V8 makes the baby start dancing.  Besides that I haven't noticed anything new lately.

    Team Green? Team Pink? Team Blue? Still waiting to find out?

    We found out at 16 weeks  that we are team blue, which we are very excited about, we will see Friday if we stay team blue.

    How is everyone sleeping? Suggestions for mamas who are not sleeping well?

    I have been sleeping ok, but not great.  I get up 2-3 times a night to go pee.  If I only get up twice I can normally get back to sleep, but if I have to get up three times I have a terrible time getting back to sleep.  I have noticed I have a harder time getting comfortable at night.  My husband has been complaining about the number of pillows I use :)

  • Who had their a/s over the last week? How did it go? Who has their a/s this week?

    Had our A/S on the 6th.  Baby looks great and is on target for our Jan 3rd due date.  UNFORTUNATELY baby did not want to cooperate w/ the tech so we don't know who we are expecting just yet. :-/ 

    Who has started their nursery or started shopping for LO?

    We are waiting until we know if we are expecting a baby boy or baby girl before we start shopping, however, we did start our registry. 

    How are you feeling? Any lasting symptoms, new symptoms, odd pregnancy cravings? 

    Feeling great for the most part.  My back has been hurting and I am having random heart racing episodes, but I much prefer these symptoms to the nausea of 1st tri.  For 2 weeks I was craving an ice cold beer (I don't even like beer!). I had two sips of O'douls this  weekend, but it did nothing for me, lol. 

    Team Green? Team Pink? Team Blue? Still waiting to find out?

    Still waiting to find out.  We go back for our follow-up on Aug 21 

    How is everyone sleeping? Suggestions for mamas who are not sleeping well?

    Not well at ALL! I cannot get comfortable and I wake up with a sore back.  I've been trying to be deliberate about my sleep position, but it's not helping.  All advice is welcome! 

  • I cant believe we're 1/2 way there!!! Im slightly freaking out though because we didnt really do anything until we found out it what it wasl. Now we're in hardcore getting ready mode and I feel like theres too much and wish we started sooner.

     We did have our a/s, its a girl! So excited to be team pink! Everything looked great, I go back for another u/s in 6 weeks to check on growth due to my thyroid.

     I had almost no symptoms in my first tri, now smells are making me throw up (especially this heavy smoker guy at work, ew) and  Im tired after the simplest tasks. Plus Im getting a lot of Braxton Hicks, theyre not comfortable! I dont remember them being that bad with ds.

     I'm sleeping eh, waking up to pee a lot, but Im trying to stay up for a few minutes when I do, to get myself used to waking up all night when the baby is born.

    My a/s is tomorrow at 7am!

    Who has started their nursery or started shopping for LO? I will start looking at serious options tomorrow!

    How are you feeling? Any lasting symptoms, new symptoms, odd pregnancy cravings? I am feeling really hungry today.

    Team Green? Team Pink? Team Blue? Still waiting to find out? Tomorrow!!!

    How is everyone sleeping? Suggestions for mamas who are not sleeping well? I toss and turn, get up twice during the night to pee, and even went to the couch one night last week.

  • Who had their a/s over the last week? How did it go? Who has their a/s this week?

    Mine is Thursday!! We are currently Team Green so I am just really excited to see LO again.

    Who has started their nursery or started shopping for LO?

    Nursery purchases have started, we have a crib, dresser, sheets, crib skirt, changing pad and curtains. Now it's time to paint, put everything together and accessorize! One thing I'm struggling with is a rocker vs recliner or one that does both...any advice?

    How are you feeling? Any lasting symptoms, new symptoms, odd pregnancy cravings? 

    Still a wave of nausea a couple of times a week, usually when I'm really hungry. I am now having constant back pain...Ugh!

    Team Green? Team Pink? Team Blue? Still waiting to find out?

    Green, hopefully we stay strong this week.

    How is everyone sleeping? Suggestions for mamas who are not sleeping well?

    I am a back sleeper and sleeping on my side is HARD. Any advice is appreciated!

  • Who had their a/s over the last week? How did it go? Who has their a/s this week?

    We had ours this morning and our baby girl is doing wonderfully!

    Who has started their nursery or started shopping for LO?

    We were waiting on finding out the sex and now I'll be waiting on what I get from my sister who had a baby girl 2 years ago. 

    How are you feeling? Any lasting symptoms, new symptoms, odd pregnancy cravings? 

    I'm feeling great. Lately though I have had some leg cramps at night or when I work out. I don't like those at all. I've also been wanting a lot of mexican food and ice cream. 

    Team Green? Team Pink? Team Blue? Still waiting to find out?

    Team Pink

    How is everyone sleeping? Suggestions for mamas who are not sleeping well?

    It's been okay, not so great on the nights I get leg cramps.

  • Who had their a/s over the last week? How did it go? Who has their a/s this week? I had my anatomy scan last Tuesday and found out we are having a girl! I am so happy.  Baby was curled up most of the time so out tech couldn't get good spine measurements so that worries me but I guess if something was wrong they would have said something.  It was just awesome to see my baby wiggle around a lot.

    Who has started their nursery or started shopping for LO?  Hubby and I started our registry right after we found out LO is a girl.  I can't wait to start clothes shopping because girl clothes are like WAY too cute!

    How are you feeling? Any lasting symptoms, new symptoms, odd pregnancy cravings?  Fatigue, heart burn, acid reflux and headaches.  But I can't complain.  It could be worse!

    Team Green? Team Pink? Team Blue? Still waiting to find out? Team PINK!

    How is everyone sleeping? Suggestions for mamas who are not sleeping well? I have good and bad days.  Sleeping good is definitely difficult.  But usually when I sleep terrible one night, the next night I sleep a ton better.

  • ho had their a/s over the last week? How did it go? Who has their a/s this week? Had ours a few weeks ago now, it was really nice and both our moms got to come. My mom actually cheered when they revealed the gender!

    Who has started their nursery or started shopping for LO? We may have just bought the nursery, our offer on a home was accepted! But hat means no painting or putting anything together for awhile.

    How are you feeling? Any lasting symptoms, new symptoms, odd pregnancy cravings?  Feeling pretty darn good. Still get tired more easily, and am always hungry, but that is pretty much it.

    How is everyone sleeping? Suggestions for mamas who are not sleeping well? Sleeping ok. Had a bad night the other night where I tossed and turned all night. But, for the most part just feel like I can't get enough

  • Aloha ladies!

    Who had their a/s over the last week? How did it go? Who has their a/s this week?

    We had our a/s a couple of weeks ago, and things looked great! Little one was definitely getting his workout in!  ;)

    Who has started their nursery or started shopping for LO?

    We haven't started shopping as we're thinking of moving to a larger place before LO arrives, but we do have most things picked out.  

    How are you feeling? Any lasting symptoms, new symptoms, odd pregnancy cravings? 

    Im actually feeling pretty good. Still get tired on occasion an sometimes short of breath, but good otherwise.  

    Team Green? Team Pink? Team Blue? Still waiting to find out?

     Team blue! 

    How is everyone sleeping? Suggestions for mamas who are not sleeping well?

    Sleep is good....other than those darn trips to the restroom!

  • We had our a /s about two weeks ago, and it's a girl! It was an amazing thing see her wiggling around in there and getting a close look at her. 

    We have purchased a crib and changing table and are working on the bigger things one at a time. We've got most of it picked out though. 

    I'm feeling ok. I've been stressing over the weight gain and have been judging every thing I put in my mouth. I finally started going back to the gym but it is so exhausting!

    We're team pink! :)

    Sleep is difficult because of hubby's work schedule. He comes in around 3 every night waking me up and then it's hard to go back to sleep and comfortably since I have to share the bed the rest of the night, I can't seem to find any position that's comfortable unless I surround myself with pillows.
