*What is your EDD/how far along?  July 5th/17w tomorrow

 

*How have you been feeling/doing?  Pretty good.  Tired, hips hurt.  The usual.

*Any appointments or milestones?  A/S is a week from tomorrow!

*What were your highlights and struggles this week?  DD is quickly learning new words.  I love seeing how smart she is

*QOTW:  What are you doing with your tax return this year?  We just found out yesterday we are getting so much more back this year than last!  Claiming me as a dependent has really helped  We will renew our season football tickets and put $ in DD's college fund like we usually do.  But then I bought some JJB stuff yesterday and DH bought some electronics stuff he wanted.  And then we will put the rest towards the nursery and other baby things we need and then have quite a bit put in savings.

I realize that it is a little premature to be participating, as I have not even had an u/s yet, but other than DH and my Mom (I told her right away this time) I can't talk to anyone about the pregnancy...so I'm letting it all hang out here.  

 

*What is your EDD/how far along?   I'm only 6 weeks along.  Due date mid-September (our anniversary, no less).

 

*How have you been feeling/doing?  I feel...completely normal.  Well, I am starting get a little evening nausea, which happened last time, but truly it is minor and there are no real "symptoms" yet.

*Any appointments or milestones? Second beta was earlier this week.  Next week I have my first u/s, fingers crossed!

*What were your highlights and struggles this week?  Highlights - DS had a good weekend; Struggles - we are looking around our tiny house trying to figure out how we will fit another LO in there!  We bought our house when we thoughts kids were not going to happen for us...and now with one LO we are kind of running out of space!  A true first world problem, I know.

*QOTW:  What are you doing with your tax return this year?  I won't get one.  I pay quarterly (I'm an independent contractor of sorts) and with how that is calculated I usually end up owing at the end of the year.  Boo!

Not premature at all!  An u/s is not a requirement

What EDD should I put for you then?

*What is your EDD/how far along? 30 weeks!

 

*How have you been feeling/doing? More "normal" 3rd tri stuff the last week or so - fatigue, some nausea returning, aches and pains. But I've actually been functioning better, considering I was so sick over the holidays, so I'll take it. Lots to do before this LO arrives.

*Any appointments or milestones? 30 week checkup tomorrow. I wanted to bring DD but I'm not b/c my clinic is in the hospital and with all the flu/other admits, it's best not to expose both of us.

*What were your highlights and struggles this week? Highlight - we got a 4 door truck last week! We had to get a bigger car b/c we have two sedans. I'm super pumped b/c we got a 2012 F-150 at a very used price b/c someone traded it into a Chevy dealership and they priced it to sell on their lot fast. Struggles are work. My busy season will run until I'm 37+ weeks and it's kicking my ass and I'm pretty crabby about it b/c I need to prepare for a baby as well. Very frustrated right now.

*QOTW:  What are you doing with your tax return this year?

 

Just praying we get one, lol. I really really hope we don't have to pay in but I'm not holding my breath.

Super excited that you are posting in this thread.

*What is your EDD/how far along? 

 

EDD is July 29th -- 13 1/2 weeks

 

*How have you been feeling/doing?

Great  -- no complaints

*Any appointments or milestones?

No appointments, but I am absolutely certain I felt LO tap me on Tuesday!  I thought I felt it on Saturday, first, but I swore that couldnt' have been it (I was also holding DS, so I passed it off as maybe he nudged me).. anyway, Tuesday I was in my car when I felt the distinct little flick! 

*What were your highlights and struggles this week?

DS had been sick, and now I'm sick, too, but that's not pg related.  DH was also in a car accident on Friday, which sucked, but thankfully DS wasn't with him, and he was okay!  Highlights,  I did announce on FB last night!

*QOTW:  What are you doing with your tax return this year?

We're using our tax money and some of our savings to put down on a new SUV.  Having 2U2 means 2 carseats and a double stroller!  Need something bigger

Yay for some possible taps! That's so fun when feeling movement starts.

What is your EDD/how far along? 
 
EDD now is June 11 20 weeks!
 
How have you been feeling/doing?

Pretty good!

Any appointments or milestones?

We had our a/s on Monday we are having a healthy boy! I cannot wait to see DD with her little brother!

What were your highlights and struggles this week?

I'm feeling him move pretty consistently and strong movements! I even felt one outside kick!

QOTW:  What are you doing with your tax return this year?
Hopefully taking a mini vaca somewhere close. But mostly saving for LO and will most likely need for a new roof.

Can I come back? Hoping some of you might remember me...

What is your EDD/how far along? 
 
EDD is still 5/9.....25 weeks.
 
How have you been feeling/doing?

Really good.  This little guys is a lot more active than Landon was, so it's fun to get some movement.

Any appointments or milestones?

Not any until I get to drink the orange stuff in 3 weeks.  Can't believe I'm getting to the end of this trimester.

What were your highlights and struggles this week?

All of the movement has been great.   Landon has been really fun as well. A little upset that there is a kid in his class that has Fifth's Disease (& I googled it of course) & that little man can now open & close doors. So I'm always chasing him.  They aren't standard doorknobs-so I am looking for a childproofing solution.

QOTW:  What are you doing with your tax return this year?

I'd like to do a few projects around our house to make it more kid friendly-mainly mount a TV above the fireplace and to get a table that is not a bar height. Landon wants to sit at the table with us now.....not the high chair.  So sad he thinks he's "big".

*EDD Aug 3rd, I'm 13w today.
*I feel great. I'm not as tired all the time, & that is awesome.
*No appts, I made it to 13w, that's pretty cool.
*Highlight: I'm not as tired. I've been able to get some house work done. Struggles: It's been sooo cold & dry here & staying warm has been an issue. & I've been getting a bloody nose over night. (Started the humidifier & that seems to be helping.)
*We don't have plans for tax returns yet...

Leslie! Congrats!!

I just got a BFP Friday night a little surprised. If it is a for keeps baby I'm due 10/5 with RCS late September VBAC not an option for me after 2 prior c/s.
