Good afternoon ladies!
1) How many inches is baby this week from head to heel? (if you're at that point, or head to rump if you're not)
2) Have you planned a babymoon, either local or not, to focus on the two of you?
3) Have you started nesting?
4) Did you make a budget for the nursery? Have you stuck to it?
5) Since spring is around the corner, that means Mother's Day! Are you hoping for something, even a card, from your DH to recognize you as a Momma?

Re: ~~*~ June Momma's Monday Checkin ~*~~
1- 13 1/2 inches
2- We're still debating on it. If we do, we'll just head upstate to a B & B for a long weekend.
3- Totally, just cleaned out the basement last week and we're painting the nursery the weekend after next!
4- Not really, Hubby works for a furniture store so we're getting a sweet discount on all the baby furniture. =D
5- I BETTER get something! I already have a 3 1/2 year old! LOL
1) How many inches is baby this week from head to heel? (if you're at that point, or head to rump if you're not)
According to the bump... baby is between 13-14 inches!
2) Have you planned a babymoon, either local or not, to focus on the two of you?
We're going to Chicago in April to visit friends, see some baseball and check out the city. I guess that could be considered our Babymoon!
3) Have you started nesting?
Yes! My bathroom is spotless and organized and my kitchen is getting hit this weekend
4) Did you make a budget for the nursery? Have you stuck to it?
We don't really have a budget, but DH is very budget minded so I know we'll stick with what we can afford.
5) Since spring is around the corner, that means Mother's Day! Are you hoping for something, even a card, from your DH to recognize you as a Momma?
I don't know. He jokingly says I'm not a 'mom' yet since she's not born, but I think he's going to get me something anyway... I certainly FEEL like a mother already
Father's Day is the day before my due date. I plan on doing something special for DH too.
1) about 15" - holy crap!
2) we haven't - though I desperately want to get away! DH doesn't want me flying, so I'm hoping that we'll be able to at least go away for a weekend to my bosses cottage (he's a family friend of FIL)
3) Little by little...I've found myself cleaning moreso than I have in the past 6 months.
4) No...the only thing that I made a budget for was the crib. I didn't want to go over $500 on that, and everything else I've just tried to do on the cheap.
5) I'm hoping that I've dropped enough hints at a pretty diaper bag, that he'll get that for me. He is currently polling people to see if they think I should get something since the baby technically isn't here. It's sort of a touchy subject, but he did say there would be lots of presents once Bug's here! haha not that it's about the gifts, clearly having my baby boy in my arms is more than enough - but a girl can dream about pretty diaper bags right?
1) How many inches is baby this week from head to heel? (if you're at that point, or head to rump if you're not) Is it bad that I don't know this? LOL. I assume he's about 15 inches, since that's what The Bump's How Big is Baby thing is telling me...
2) Have you planned a babymoon, either local or not, to focus on the two of you? We sort of had ours when I went to Spain over New Year's to see DH, but we want to also do a small trip when he comes back- probably Cape Cod for a few days.
3) Have you started nesting? Yep, furniture is all assembled and I've organized the clothes. After my shower on Sunday I will have a lot more nesting going on!
4) Did you make a budget for the nursery? Have you stuck to it? No, no budget really. We wanted to try to stick to under $1000 for nursery furniture, and have done that easily with the furniture we bought.
5) Since spring is around the corner, that means Mother's Day! Are you hoping for something, even a card, from your DH to recognize you as a Momma? It'd be nice, but I'm sure he won't do it- he doesn't really do cards. He might do flowers, he like to do that (although he missed the boat for Valentine's Day.) He does send me flowers randomly though, so I guess it makes up for it
1) How many inches is baby this week from head to heel? (if you're at that point, or head to rump if you're not) according to the bump, 13.6-14.8 in, 1.5-2.2 lb
2) Have you planned a babymoon, either local or not, to focus on the two of you? No, we didn't with DD either
3) Have you started nesting? Oh yes, and I already feel so much more organized (my husband has also caught the bug, he reorganized kitchen drawers last week!)
4) Did you make a budget for the nursery? Have you stuck to it? no, this is 2nd time around for us, so there are just a few necessities we have and are still planning on picking up
5) Since spring is around the corner, that means Mother's Day! Are you hoping for something, even a card, from your DH to recognize you as a Momma? You bet! Most likely a plant or flowers and card from DD via DH
1) How many inches is baby this week from head to heel? (if you're at that point, or head to rump if you're not) about 15.75 inches from head to toe
2) Have you planned a babymoon, either local or not, to focus on the two of you? nope, but we are talking about a post preg. vaca to go stay in a cabin and fish somewhere
3) Have you started nesting? a little bit
4) Did you make a budget for the nursery? Have you stuck to it? Nope, got the furniture off Craigslist, re-using, and DIYing a bunch of stuff
5) Since spring is around the corner, that means Mother's Day! Are you hoping for something, even a card, from your DH to recognize you as a Momma? I'm hoping for a little something
1) How many inches is baby this week from head to heel? (if you're at that point, or head to rump if you're not) 14 1/2 inches long if her legs are stretched out.
2) Have you planned a babymoon, either local or not, to focus on the two of you? Not planning one. We are going away for our 5th anniversary in Dec. so nothing before the baby.
3) Have you started nesting? A little....More Spring cleaning then anything.
4) Did you make a budget for the nursery? Have you stuck to it? No budget....this is our last planned baby so we are kind of going all out. Especially since we don't have to buy furniture.
5) Since spring is around the corner, that means Mother's Day! Are you hoping for something, even a card, from your DH to recognize you as a Momma? When I was pg with DD #1 I got a necklace from James Avery thats a mommy holding a baby.
1) How many inches is baby this week from head to heel? (if you're at that point, or head to rump if you're not)
According to the bump around 13-14 inches
2) Have you planned a babymoon, either local or not, to focus on the two of you?
We have talked about it but not sure if we'll be able to fit it in our schedule. If we do though, we probably wont go very far. I am leaving for Florida with my family though next monday so that's enough for me = )
3) Have you started nesting?
YES! I seem to be cleaning anything and everything! lol
4) Did you make a budget for the nursery? Have you stuck to it?
We had already made a budget and everything is bought and we ended up saving because when we decided to buy the furniture, it had just come on sale!
5) Since spring is around the corner, that means Mother's Day! Are you hoping for something, even a card, from your DH to recognize you as a Momma?
I am totally hoping to get a card and maybe a little something else. Knowing DH, I know i'll get something and wont have to ask for it either since he's very thoughtfull = )
First time doing this! I'm excited! LOL.
1) How many inches is baby this week from head to heel? (if you're at that point, or head to rump if you're not) About 13 inches
2) Have you planned a babymoon, either local or not, to focus on the two of you? We are going to the beach when the baby is about 2 months old, so that will count.
3) Have you started nesting? I wish. We need to decide on flooring for the baby's room, but we have most of the room items.
4) Did you make a budget for the nursery? Have you stuck to it? Just getting what we need/want - new flooring, closet unit, and crib. Hopefully we will get bedding for a shower gift.
5) Since spring is around the corner, that means Mother's Day! Are you hoping for something, even a card, from your DH to recognize you as a Momma? He knows to get me something, but I am not sure what I will be getting. It will probably be small which is fine.

::MyBlog::
1) How many inches is baby this week from head to heel? (if you're at that point, or head to rump if you're not)
I'm not exactly sure, I have an appt next Monday and they're supposed to tell me now...the average is 14.4 inches I think...
2) Have you planned a babymoon, either local or not, to focus on the two of you?
No, we haven't planned one yet, but I'd love to
3) Have you started nesting?
I've been nesting on and off since about 16 weeks lol We're in the middle of moving so it's getting worse. I can't wait to set up the new house we just bought!
4) Did you make a budget for the nursery? Have you stuck to it?
Nope, no budget
5) Since spring is around the corner, that means Mother's Day! Are you hoping for something, even a card, from your DH to recognize you as a Momma?
I would def. love to get something from DH for mothers day. It doesn't have to be anything special, a card would work...lol
1. Not exactly sure - but read that he's as long as a loaf of bread?
2. Know we want to do something (sort-of local - within the state), just haven't planned it yet.
3. Yes! (finally!) We picked a paint color, ordered the dresser and mattress, have the crib, rocker/recliner, bookshelf, bedding, and most of the decor. Can't wait to put his room together!
4. Didn't make a budget, but everything we've purchased we've been thrilled with the savings (Bedding was on clearance for $53, crib & dresser we got 20% off, rocker/recliner was on sale for $220, got mattress for 15% off plus free shipping, decor was all way cheap or DIY.) The only thing I paid full price for was the rug - $20 at Target.
5. Absolutely!
1. I belive 15
2. yes, we went to Hawaii a few weeks ago. It was amazing, having the opportunity to just enjoy being together the two of us - we both really appreciated it and I want to go back
3. No, I need to start
4. No, making budget didn't cross my mind, althought it should have! Luckily we are getting a lot of stuff given to (mainly as hand-me-downs) so at this point all we have done is purchase paint - and of course little clothes
5. I would love something, I really hope he thinks of it! Last year I made him a card with our new puppy's paw prints on it for "daddy's day"
1) How many inches is baby this week from head to heel? (if you're at that point, or head to rump if you're not)
I'm not sure... LOL... I'm an awful mom already... I just read WTEWYE and immediately forgot, pregnancy brain, anyone?
2) Have you planned a babymoon, either local or not, to focus on the two of you?
No, I feel like I'll just get super anxious if we tried to go anywhere. Vacations are not relaxing for me, at all.
3) Have you started nesting?
A little, I really want to, but I am not allowed to buy much til after my shower, which isn't until the first week in May. *sigh* I have started the clean mania, though.
4) Did you make a budget for the nursery? Have you stuck to it?
No specific budget set in stone, but DH knows that I'm a tightwad when it comes to a lot of things, and that I will find what's best for the baby as cheap as I can!
5) Since spring is around the corner, that means Mother's Day! Are you hoping for something, even a card, from your DH to recognize you as a Momma?
I would love him to, but I'm not sure if he will or not, if he doesn't, I wont hold it against him, but my pregnancy hormones may make me cry a whole lot about it
1) How many inches is baby this week from head to heel? 15 inches
2) Have you planned a babymoon, either local or not, to focus on the two of you? We hadn't planned one, but it's looking like we may go to Seattle for a work conference and turn that into a babymoon.
3) Have you started nesting? Yes!!
4) Did you make a budget for the nursery? Have you stuck to it? Yes and yes.
5) Since spring is around the corner, that means Mother's Day! Are you hoping for something, even a card, from your DH to recognize you as a Momma? I'm hoping, but I'm not going to hint at it...just wait to see if he does anything.

2) Have you planned a babymoon, either local or not, to focus on the two of you? We're going to Washington DC next month.
3) Have you started nesting? No, I'm not sure if nesting is really in the cards for me. I'm not at all domestic.
4) Did you make a budget for the nursery? Have you stuck to it?
No. We have a budget line item for Baby items, but not one specifically for a nursery. I'm still not sure if we're converting out spare bedroom into a nursery.
5) Since spring is around the corner, that means Mother's Day! Are you hoping for something, even a card, from your DH to recognize you as a Momma? No. I want to wait to celebrate Mother's Day for me until next year when LO is really here.
