This is Mason and I this morning at 35 weeks, 1 day. Please excuse the blurry photo; I hate H's phone. Also to aid with pregnancy brain, I carry my sales ads around with me so I don't forget them when I leave for work. I strategize on my lunch hour.
Introducing the Peg Perego 2010 Primo Viaggio SIP 30/30 Infant Carseat in Pepper. It is actually more red than the picture.
Check out my linea negra, hot right? Bleh.
QOTW: I got the Graco snugride 30 in Mirabella. Little did I know it is on the chemical safe list.
This is from Saturday, 38 weeks:
QOTW for those still pregnant: What car seat will you be using? PIP if you want
Mine is off to the side too. I thought it would be strait even with my belly button up and down, and thought mine was different. But after seeing yours, I'm thinking it's normal
Cute belly!!!
This week's bump in siggy from yesterday.
Stretch Marks: Yep. I've been looking for them and just noticed them yesterday. I was bummed all day. That's why I thought I'd take a fun bump photo so I can focus on what really matters.
Maternity Clothes: Not really. just stretchy skirts and long tank tops.
QOTW for those still pregnant: What car seat will you be using? PIP if you wantMovement: All the time!! I love it!!!
Symptoms: BHC, swelling, tired, hungry, heartburn...you know, the usual pregnancy stuff.
What I miss: DH's snuggles and hugging close without bending at the waist.
Cravings: None, really.
Symptoms: Baby is low, having some cramping episodes a few times a day and increased BHC! Hoping it all means progress
What I miss: Wine, Beer, Champagne, my body and sexy time with DH
Cravings: Waldorf Chicken Salad
We have the Chicco Key Fit 30.
You're welcome. I haven't really seen too many pregnant bare belly's, so I just assumed it would be down the middle. I agree - it's very strange..:)
This is from Friday night...
Ummm I plan on using the carseat that is with my travel system? It's Baby Trend Expedition ELX Travel System. I remember reading the safety information back when I registered. Wow, I feel like I've dropped the ball here on like the most important thing!
Nat, Mary, Tonya...you gals look so good! So does everyone else, but I just wanted to give an extra shout out to them!
In the ultimate lazy HDBD picture, I didn't even walk to the bathroom to take my picture in the mirror this week. So, instead you get a picture of me sitting in my chair at my desk!
Carseat is the Graco SnugRide Platinum
Stretch Marks: no, I am lucky not to get them through all 4 of my pregnancies
Maternity Clothes: hate them, they never fit right
QOTW for those still pregnant: What car seat will you be using? PIP if you wantMovement: he moves ALL day, sometimes I have to get firm with him and tell him to cut it out or else!!! lol
Symptoms: Sciatica and bad heartburn
What I miss: clothes fitting right, being regular, and being comfortable
Cravings: ice
Chicco KeyFit 30
Stretch Marks: Several on my belly.
Maternity Clothes: Barely fit anymore.
Movement: She moves a lot. She really likes to move in the middle of the night and keep me awake.
What I miss: Being able to do everyday stuff with out being in horrible pain. Sleeping at night without waking up every hour because I have to pee, she is moving, or I'm hurting.
Cravings: Still crave mostly Mexican food. beans and rice or something spicy.
QOTW for those still pregnant: What car seat will you be using? PIP if you wantI am using a Graco Snug ride. Sorry no PIP.
Hope this doesn't come off as creepy because it's meant to be a compliment....I feel like you're the type of pregnant lady that would end up on those pregnant fetish porn sites for men because of how hot you look haha
37 weeks, 5 days
One of the last remaining shirts that seem to fit....
This is from Monday I'm 35/29 because of my scheduled section.
QOTW: We'll be reusing DS1's Graco Snugride.
Oops double post
Sorry, triple post. My little laptop freaked out or something.
Bahaha! Thanks, I think.
No seriously though, I've been "checked out" one too many times for my comfort lately at DH's gigs. Not sure what that's about... or how me being the size of a whale with a full grown baby inside of me could be considered sexy. LOL. But if you saw me walk (i.e. waddle) you'd change your mind.
Lacey - thanks dear! I tried to do a sitting at my desk pic and I couldn't manage to get my face and my belly in it! So more power to ya!!!!
I feel like I've been pretty out of the loop, but everyone still looks so great! And even though I don't really have much free time right now, I just couldn't seem to pass up HDBD
Here's our Baby Graham?
Life at home is going pretty well so far. Just adjusting. And I've been letting him sleep beside me (which is easier for me anyway since we're BF) and that way we both get to really sleep pretty good. DH will be home the rest of this week, but then it's just me again. And I think I'll probably have my hands full with three little boys under 3, so I'm sure I'm going to miss out on some of your incredible birth stories. I just wanted to wish you all luck and congratulations (ahead of time)! It's amazing and I'm so excited for you all!!
I love your top! And we got the same car seat, just in purple
Aww - everyone looks great!
I'm done with work now so my pictures are no longer in the office bathroom! :-)
You all look SO fantastic!
BarefootAndSinging, Graham is SO cute!!!
QOTW: a friend gave me her Graco Snugride and 2 bases, it is blue and boyish. But I figured people are stupid and even if you deck the little girls out in pink people still ask "how old is he?" so oh well. it was free.
Tblauvelt, I really love your carseat. jealous.
This was this past Sunday at a baby shower for my friend:
There are computers at the hospital, so I am using part of my lunch break to post on my first Hump Day Baby Day!
We are coping with NICU life. My day consists of spending as much time as possible- at least 8-12 hours here with Jonah. Then I go home, veg out as much as possible with DH and pump and pump and sleep and pump. I haven't done groceries, or my eyebrows or anything whatsoever beyond laundry, but it's worth it. All I need to do is focus on this little guy!!
Stretch Marks: I didn't get any! Woohoo!
Maternity Clothes: This post partum in between is weird... I have a belly, but it's a lot squishier than when I was this size and pregnant. Today I'm wearing a big pair of non maternity pants w/a bella band.
Movement: This isn't exactly movement, but interesting- every ultrasound I have of Gabe, his hands were up by his face. Now as an outside baby, he always has his hands up around his face or in his mouth. When we swaddle him, he likes it best if his arms are swaddled but not his hands.
Symptoms: My vagina hurts. A lot.
What I miss: Feeling him move inside. I don't miss my sore pelvis or my pregnancy waddle.
Cravings: All gone. I did have a glass of wine last night.
QOTW for those with outside babies: How are you adjusting to having a new baby around? What is your schedule like now (whether if at home or still in the hospital)? Because he was a bit early, the drs wanted us to really monitor his feeding and his poops and pees. But he's a really sleepy baby, and it's hard to wake him up to eat. Even when he wakes up on his own, he tends to fall asleep while eating... we saw the pedi today and he said just to make sure he eats every 4 hours and we should be fine. It will be interesting to see how things are in 2-3 weeks. Right now he's super mellow, but I'm told that can totally change week to week!

Added this one because it makes me smile that he always has to be the center of attention! I think it's going to be a challenge once this LO comes!
Also, our car seat is the Graco Quatro Snugride....something, something...I don't remember in brownstone I believe. I know it's been purchased (registry stalking) but we haven't received it yet.
First bare belly shot in a long time! 34w 6d:
Edit: Reading fail! Forgot the car seat...
Grace Snugride 35 Logan
Maternity Clothes: Still rocking the sweats.
What I miss: Feeling LO's movements.
Cravings: McDonalds. Still. =(
QOTW for those with outside babies: How are you adjusting to having a new baby around? What is your schedule like now (whether if at home or still in the hospital)?
My schedule is pretty much pump every three hours and make the hour long drive to see DS at the hospital every other day.
Our car seat (Graco Snugride
36 weeks 5 days (16 days left)
Everyone looks so great!! Love the snazzy carseats. Digging Lacey's desk pic (bc I couldn't pull that off), Natkay's hot mama top, Veronica's outfit (as always), and all the bare belly shots. Super cute.
Stretch Marks: some here and there
Maternity Clothes: none.
Movement: lots of rolls and "body slams" to my left side
Symptoms: other than peeing every 2.5 seconds? none really.
What I miss: being able to roll over at night without having to adjust 5 pillows and having a non-itchy/sore belly button piercing
Cravings: none really.
38 weeks, 2 days
I figured since it was almost the end, I'd be a little risky and "bare it"
QOTW for those still pregnant: What car seat will you be using?
QOTW: We are using the Chicco Keyfit. It's actually already in my car along with the majority of our hospital gear just in case we need it.
38w4d
Stretch Marks: Had them before, just seem to have gained a whole new set
Maternity Clothes: One shirt still goes all the way under my belly
Movement: squirming like crazy
Symptoms: nausea still every once in a while, thats about it
What I miss: sleeping on my stomach!
Cravings: ice and sweets!
Our carseat is part of the Graco alano travel system in Melanie. I love it!
Here is my 35 wks picture from Monday. Those on FB probably have seen it already.
I'm using the baby trend windsor travel system from Babies R Us. Dh and I fell in love with it.
ETA: there is a picture of it a couple of posts up. It's the black, grey, dark purple.
I don't have a picture today due to being too tired. But I figure I'd do a little update anyways.
Last week, the girls were weighing: A at 5lbs 9oz, B at 5lbs 15oz. I went to L&D on Thursday because my contractions were 5 minutes apart, but was sent home after they gave me turbidill (sp?). I refuse to ever have that shot again. And then I had an appt. yesterday (NST and F/U). I was measuring 45 weeks last week, and I am now measuring 49 weeks this week. So the girls had themselves a nice growth spurt. And I have gained 5lbs in less than a week. Which I am not complaining about, it just amazes me.
QOTW: I have 2 Graco carseats that I'm using for the girls. And once I get tired of lugging around those, they will be going into Safety 1st Alpha Omegas, just like my son.
Good to see everyone is doing good, and VERY exciting about all the outside babies! I can't wait till mine are here.
As sad as this is this late in the game...this is actually the first HDBD that ive posted...(picture in my siggy)
Car Seat- Chicco Keyfit 30 in Limonata
Holding my best birthday presents ever! Miles is 3lbs 15oz and BF for about 25 minutes last night! He is also off oxygen and breathing totally on his own. Owen is 3lbs 9oz and has BF for a few minutes but gets too sleepy. He is still on a very low flow of room air oxygen, but weaning off it quickly. Both are able to take their full feeds from a bottle a few times a day.
Edited to add (even though I'm not pregnant still!): Chicco Keyfit 30 in Adventure
My life with NICU babies consists of usually 2 visits a day, trying to get things ready at home for them by preparing the nursery and sorting through all the chaos that has piled up, pumping ALL the time, and on top of that I am going back to work tonight
Peanut Butter and Jelly!
<a href="http://s568.photobucket.com/albums/ss122/AliceNP/?action=view
I just want to start by saying how much I love that it's now HDB/BD! I love seeing the outside babies and it's making me very excited.
Stretch Marks: None!
Maternity Clothes: Yes, except for exercise clothes which is from early on when I just bought a bigger size.
Movement: All the time. He really likes ice cream.
Symptoms: ?
What I miss: Certain foods and being able to eat whatever I want without being instantly full or having heartburn.
Cravings: Nothing off the top of my head, except extreme desire for fruit (especially grapes).
QOTW for those still pregnant: What car seat will you be using?
Grace Snugride 35 in Logan. (I have long legs and arms and DH has a long torso and based on the ultrasounds we think LO's going to be long, so I wanted a carseat that would last for awhile).
