  General QOTD: The week has been good.  I passed the 3 hour GTT but my OB still wants me to watch my carb intake just in case so I'm struggling with that.

  QOTD: I'm really just nervous about delivery, I'm high risk so what could possibly happen during delivery to change things.  The unexpected I guess.

  General QOTD:  Feeling some cramping all week and now after calling the OB I have to "take it easy on the couch all weekend."  I am still crying about it and don't know why other than hormonal and just...hormonal.

  QOTD:  I am getting really nervous but I am so ready to meet this person that I've been growing!  I am scared of what type of mom I'll be and hope I will do a good job!

  General QOTD: How has your week been? Anything new for your pregnancy? - Tiring. Flat out exhausting. Being 30 weeks pregnant and dealing with a toddler is just as hard as when I was working while pregnant with DS. Ugh. As for pregnancy updates, nothing to share here. Just ready to get through the next 2 months!
  
  QOTD: As we approach the 2 months and counting mark, how prepared are you feeling to welcome your LO? What are your fears? What are you most excited about? - At this point I don't feel as prepared as I'd like to be. DH & I still have a lot of work to do with DD's room and $$ to save so it's kind of stressful. My only fear is ending up in the hospital. I'm trying my best to avoid that. I'm just most excited that I'll have my DD soon!

  Couple of things: I am team blue and my due date is actually January 5th.

  GQOTD: This week is going great. Just tired and getting the occasional heartburn (like right now). Oh, and I'm pretty sure I have the beginnings of carpal tunnel because my right hand is always falling asleep in the middle of the night. And DH had to help me put my shoes on today so I told him we're officially pregnant!

  QOTD: There is still so much to do! I plan on starting on the nursery overhaul while DH is at work and seeing what stuff people buy us at the baby shower next week. I already know we need some extra storage for all the clothes we have gotten so far. I'm glad I'm starting to feel like nesting or else Preston's room would NEVER get straightened up before he comes!

  Hey I got knocked off the list.  DaniGirl0517- Danielle, TEAM BLUE

  General QOTD: My week has been okay, harvest is winding down so I am looking forward to having days off again.  Pregnancy-wise LO has decided to stick with one spot and kick it for what seems like hours although I'm sure it's only minutes but it hurts.  I had my first time waking up and saying, "Just 2 1/2 more months and we'll be done."  I am having a rough time sleeping.
  
  QOTD: I don't feel prepared at all!  This is my biggest fear.  That LO will come and the house will still be disgusting and then I'll have a baby and won't be able to clean it.  I need a day off, some caffeine and maybe a drill Sargent so I can get this place in shape.  Oh and I'm afraid I'll wimp out and go for the epidural.  Not that anyone who does that is a wimp, just that I'll feel that way personally because I'd rather avoid it.

  I am most excited about seeing him and holding him.  I can't wait to bf and I know that sounds weird but it's something I'm looking forward to doing, thinking that I'll do that makes me feel like I'll have super powers or something.  I am also excited to see him in his cloth diapers, I think they are so cute.

  General QOTD: How has your week been? Anything new for your pregnancy?
  Week had a rough start with me having terrible indigestion and heartburn. As it turns out a couple of days I forgot to take my Nexium. I've been doing this for years and never forget so I'm chalking that one up to PG brain!

  TEAM BLUE!
  QOTD: As we approach the 2 months and counting mark, how prepared are you feeling to welcome your LO? What are your fears? What are you most excited about? I feel sort of prepared. I mean we have what we need for the most part, especially with our shower coming up next week. Also I am ticking things off my list every week and our house has never been this organized!! As far as mentally prepared, I'm not there yet. The hospital tour we took on Wednesday was a huge wake up call but I have somehow managed to push that out of my head. I'm back to ignorant bliss for the time being.

  GQOTD: I am having an awesome week! Mostly due to being on my last paid vacation until my maternity leave [not paid]. As for anything new with the pregnancy, I've been getting a lot of BH this week.

  QOTD: I like to think I'm prepared but who ever really is? We have just about everything we need but mentally I don't think I'm ready for what's in store. I fear the delivery. This is mainly because I really want to go natural. And what excites me is that it's almost time to meet my handsome LO and I can't wait to see whose features he has.

  General QOTD: How has your week been? Anything new for your pregnancy? Nothing really new, just feeling mighty big these days. Baby girl still moves constantly & I love it!
  
  QOTD: As we approach the 2 months and counting mark, how prepared are you feeling to welcome your LO? What are your fears? What are you most excited about? I'm definitely not prepared & hope (obviously) that I go full term. I'd really like to get our house a little more in order & do some more research on some BR things. I'm beyond excited to meet our girl & be a mommy. I'm fearful that I won't be a good mom or that something will go wrong during delivery.

  Team: Green (can't change it...might as well be surprised!)

  General QOTD: I am finally feeling human. I caught the nasty stomach bug going around and was down for 3 days. Wound up in L&D observation for fluid replacement and monitoring for a night. But today I feel good...I can eat and drink and it all stays down!

  QOTD: I feel sort of ready. My shower is tomorrow so I guess I will see what else I need after that but I am getting nervous and excited at the same time to see this little stinker. It is amazing what one little kiddo can do...sometimes I feel like a washing machine (I can feel the fluid swooshing around but no kicks...maybe I am growing a high diver) and other times it is like a non-stop party.

  General QOTD: How has your week been? Anything new for your pregnancy? This week has been mostly good, but omg my back hurts!  Not really anything new for my pregnancy.
  
  QOTD: As we approach the 2 months and counting mark, how prepared are you feeling to welcome your LO? What are your fears? What are you most excited about? We have purchased/received everything we think we will need for LO, but still haven't painted the nursery.  I'm afraid it won't get painted before LO gets here. I'm also afraid DH and I won't agree on a name before LO gets here.   I'm most excited to see what LO looks like!

  General QOTD: Been a nice quite week with the baby. My right side ribs are bruised and sore from being kicking constantly.  I go in Monday for a growth u/s. I seem to measure small only when my Doc measures me. If the nurse or NP measures I'm big. Go figure. 

  QOTD: I'm getting super excited as I see the days tick by. DH and I are feeling fairly prepared. I just need to figure out work stuff. Nothing has me real anxious. I would just like LO to stay in as long as possible with no complications.

  This week has been good for me.  I passed my GD test and I was really worried about it too!  My little boy constantly moves throughout the day sometimes it gets kind of distracting at work, but I love it!  My back pain is killing me, but its manageable and all part of the territory.  I never had it with my first.   Overall I love being prego!  I am so excited!   Only 11 weeks or less away!
  

  
  QOTD: As we approach the 2 months and counting mark, how prepared are you feeling to welcome your LO? What are your fears? What are you most excited about?

  I am feeling very prepared right now, but I am very nervous about how my third year old is acting these days and how that is going to work with a newborn.  It's literally the terrible threes, not two!  Two was a breeze for me.  So that scares me and the fact that she has been the only one that needed my attention, so a bit of jealousy maybe too.  I am really excited to have one of each and my sister having a little girl.  Which would give her one of each too!  This is a great time for us together!

  QOTD: As we approach the 2 months and counting mark, how prepared are you feeling to welcome your LO? What are your fears? What are you most excited about? I'm feeling more and more prepared. We are finally finishing up the nursery (a huge relief) and this weekend DH and I are going to go shopping for all the things we need that we didn't get at my babyshowers. I just can't wait to see her.

  General QOTD: How has your week been? Anything new for your pregnancy? Exhausting. This weekend was the first time I wasn't able to sleep, but luckily it was only for 2 days and my nights have been amazing since then.
  
  QOTD: As we approach the 2 months and counting mark, how prepared are you feeling to welcome your LO? What are your fears? What are you most excited about? We have nothing for LO yet, no furniture or anything, so I'm not feeling super prepared yet. I'm only worried about complications during birth and whether or not he's still breech. I know it's really early still (not quite 29w) so he has plenty of time to turn, but idk if I will be allowed to have a waterbirth like I plan if he remains breech (obviously something I have no asked my OB yet). I'm most excited about just having baby Eric here and being able to hold him & seeing DH's reactions to him.

  This week has been fast and pretty dang good! I have gotten a break from the pelvic pain and learned how to avoid suffocation by eating small. I have not eaten well however - still had some pizza and halloween candy.

  I feel prepared and laid-back... which isn't to say I AM prepared. I still feel in a bubble of non-reality just unable to grasp that this whole new person is coming soon!

  General QOTD: How has your week been? Anything new for your pregnancy? Really really crappy. Our house was broken into, and our dog was injured (not too seriously, but still!) trying to defend the house. I am still reeling from this violation. But tonight I meet with a representative to get the process started on installing an alarm to give me back a little peice of mind. And tomorrow is my baby shower, so I am looking forward to some happiness.
  
  QOTD: As we approach the 2 months and counting mark, how prepared are you feeling to welcome your LO? What are your fears? What are you most excited about? Ack! so not prepared! We still have to finish building the studio/garage so that we can move all the storage stuff out of the second bedroom. I have NO baby supplies whatsover (other than a handful of baby booties...) and I'm freaking out that we will not be anywhere near ready by the time LO gets here.

  General QOTD: How has your week been? Anything new for your pregnancy? Haven't checked in for awhile, but it's nice to see everyone's updates.  My week has been pretty good.  I went to the dr. on Tuesday and have only gained 3 lbs. this month.  I'm definitely having a harder time sleeping, but that's nothing new.   
  
  QOTD: As we approach the 2 months and counting mark, how prepared are you feeling to welcome your LO? What are your fears? What are you most excited about?  I feel somewhat prepared in the sense that I have everything I need, it's just not where I need it at the moment.  The room isn't set up, the car seat isn't in the car...but eventually it will all get done.

  general qotd: nothing too exciting this week. have my gd testing next week. starting to feel uncomfortable more often, but i think that is because it's #2.

  qotd: am starting to get more comfortable with the idea. i think we decided on a name this week. and i've bought some clothes, so at least he'll have the "necessities" when he arrives. still waiting to start on the nursery but i'm having creative block.

  General QOTD: How has your week been? Anything new for your pregnancy? My week has been very stressful and full of disappointments, But I think it will soon get better. Next week has to be better.
  
  QOTD: As we approach the 2 months and counting mark, how prepared are you feeling to welcome your LO? What are your fears? What are you most excited about? I am about %85 ready for him. I am scared of just the pain of the surgery and the whole healing process. I am also scared of how my littlest baby is going to react to the new baby. I am excited about getting to see my little man.

  General QOTD: How has your week been? Anything new for your pregnancy? This has been a good week and I HOPE to sleep late tomorrow.  Found out this week that the reason I never felt baby till about four weeks ago is that I have an anterior placenta.
  
  QOTD: As we approach the 2 months and counting mark, how prepared are you feeling to welcome your LO? What are your fears? What are you most excited about? Not prepared, I am afraid I will have LO and not have everything done that I want to get done.  I am excited that right now baby is not as huge as the doctors kept telling me he would be and I am excited that he is healthy.

  General QOTD: not awesome. missed 2 full days of class because of active preterm contractions, spent the night in L&D... and I'm still feeling under the weather.

  QOTD: I'm starting to feel more and more prepared. My shower is next weekend so hopefully I'll get the few things I desperately need before he's born (mainly the crib mattress... haha). I'm mostly nervous because my parents postponed their Hawaii trip from November 26-December 3 because of my complications and my sister has to have surgery on December 3 to the end of January/beginning of February, so I'm scared I won't be ready to be without my mom by then!
