Good morning, pretty mamas! I've been up since 4:30 with my little guy and I'm already falling asleep at work 
So let's get this bump party started...
How far along? 17w 3d (Is this flying for anyone else?!)
Team blue/pink/green? green
How are you feeling? pretty good!
Cravings? chick fil a
Weight gain/loss?(if you feel like sharing) +12
Feeling movement? teeny kicks every so often 
Any baby purchases? We randomly bought the crib over the weekend - wasn't planning on it but found one we love.
Have you decided on a name? We found a girl name we both love that only took 2 years! We have a few boy names we picked from last time
This discussion has been closed.
Re: *** HDBD :) ***
How far along? 18w, sometimes I feel like it's going super fast other times it's going slow.
Team blue/pink/green? green
How are you feeling? Good, had a few dizzy spells the last few days.
Cravings? Twix
Weight gain/loss? Not sure
Feeling movement? It's slowed down/stopped. I hardly feel movement anymore.
Any baby purchases? I bought a hat and a few cute outfits at ON during Labor Day sales.
Have you decided on a name? We are set on a Boys name but are flip flopping on the Girls name we had picked out.
Clomid- No response
Metformin 1500 mg Femara 5mg + Trigger + TI Round 2 = BFP!
Beta 13DPO: 115, Beta 16dpo: 561 BFP Chart
Good Morning ladies! Hope everyone is having a great week and hope and pray the bump pic I upload isn't huge! lol. All you skinny mini's have adorable little bumps! Mines sort of looking lumpy but definitely seeing a bump progression. But this is my 3rd baby so I expected to show quite a bit earlier this time around.
How far along? 15 weeks 4 days. (and yes this time is flying so fast! February will be here before we know it!)
Team blue/pink/green? yellow for now! Will find out on October 11th!
How are you feeling? pretty good
Cravings? Anything fruity and sweet.
Weight gain/loss? I've actually lost 12 pounds from the day I got my BFP. (But I am overweight to begin with so not a problem for me!)
Feeling movement? Nope nothing yet. I think I MIGHT have felt a couple flutters last night after I drank some cold juice and laid down but it was probably hoping wishing!
Any baby purchases? Nope! And probably won't until after we find out boy or girl. The one thing I did buy 5 weeks ago was a ducky sleeper from target and that night after I bought it was when I had my light spotting (which turned out to be nothing thank goodness!). So i'm going to wait.
Have you decided on a name? Boy name is definitely decided. We have a couple girl names we were playing with. We figured we'd wait until 10/11 when baby hopefully shows us what he/she is before I get to excited with girl names.
And last but not least my bump picture. The first one i've posted because I am bigger and haven't really noticed a defined "bump" until this morning. Hope everyone has a great hump day!

IHO of bump day, I thought I would share a comparison of my 17 weekish pictures. I don't have a good one of my first, because I wasn't really showing yet. I also weighed eight pounds less at this point in the pregnancy with #1.

Any baby purchases? My mom gave us my sister's crib and changing table, so I bought a mattress and the bedding I really wanted. I have a habit of falling in love with things and then they get discontinued....that was pretty much the story of my wedding decorations lol Have you decided on a name? Yes!! Since we are TG, we had to pick 2 and I am so surprised that DH and I finally agreed on something. We are using Lacey Michelle (mine and my mom's MN) for a girl and Lane Winsor (MIL's maiden name....all the boy names were taken) for a boy.

How are you feeling? Pretty good! I get really car sick still, and I am always exhausted by evening. So much better though!
Cravings? Last night I was craving hot donuts from Krispy Kreme. I had not had them in years, but DH and I drove out and got some. Yum. I had three last night and two more this morning, lol.
Weight gain/loss? At my 14 week appointment, I had gained 5lbs. No scale at home, so no idea what I've gained since.
Feeling movement? I think that I have felt a couple of kicks. A lot of days I do not feel anything yet though.
Any baby purchases? I think that we're going to order a pouf from Land of Nod today to use as an ottoman with our rocker. Anyone know of any promotional codes?

This was taken 4 days ago at 15 weeks, 2 days. I completely forgot about taking a picture this morning:

Have you decided on a name? yup names sorted
Here?s my first bump pic!! taken 16w 6d.
Good morning, pretty mamas! I've been up since 4:30 with my little guy and I'm already falling asleep at work
So let's get this bump party started...
I haven't been up since 4:30 am but, I slept for the 1st time with a pillow between my knees to see if it would help my hips. Nope. The hips still hurt when I wake up, plus every time I rolled over I had to wake up and re-adjust that darn pillow.
How far along? 15w, 5d
Team blue/pink/green? green
How are you feeling? Pretty good now. Missing sex to be honest - I haven't been so up for it and DH has been sick and getting ready for a colonoscopy that's today - so he hasn't been in the mood either.
Cravings? None really, although a friend asked me for a cookie recipe and now I want to bake those peanut butter cookies. Too bad I'm at work....
Weight gain/loss? 6lbs up or so
Feeling movement? I'm not sure how to tell (obvious that I'm a FTM here?!). I'm going to ask the MW tomorrow if what I think I'm feeling could be movement.
Any baby purchases? None yet but we've started looking at strollers.
Have you decided on a name? We've decided on a girls name - Mikayla Esther. We're debating on a boys name (which will change if there is a family name we like since we both like the tradition of naming after a family member - the boys name isn't based on anyone as far as we know) so far it's either: Ari (Ariyeh) Benjamin, Ira (Ariyeh) Benjamin or Ira (Ariyeh) Yehuda (Judah). Ira and Ari mean the same thing in Hebrew, I like Ari, DH likes Ira. I'm slowly coming around to Ira but we can't decide on a second name and I don't want to name a kid Yehuda as a second name (my grandma's Hebrew name is Yehudit and she's still around kicking so to me any name that sounds like my grandma's name isn't a possibility).
My picture isn't loading...Ah well.My super all about me birth story:
Then: Fraternal twins born at 26 weeks in 1983. Me: 640 grams. Brother: 840 grams. Family kept watch in the NICU for 5 months before being allowed to go home. On oxygen for a year and a half after being released.
Now: Me: PhD student and married. Brother: Lawyer and married.
Dad's wedding speech: Thank you to all the family who stood watch and prayed for our children's survival. Well now the little scrawny chicken is married. Who would've thought? (Thanks dad for making me laugh and cry at the same time).
My BFP Chart
How far along?: 18w1d. February seems so far away but when I look back to week 5 when we got our BFP it seems like time has just zoomed by.
Team blue/pink/green?: We think PINK! but the tech wasn't 100% sure.
How are you feeling?: Pretty good but tired a lot.
Cravings?: Chicken noodle soup and salsa (not together).
Weight gain/loss? Down 5 lbs.
Feeling movement?: I think I'm feeling something in there but that something could just be gas
Any baby purchases?: We already purchased my breast pump but so far that is it.
Have you decided on a name?: We think we have an idea but it'll probably change from now until February.

Have you decided on a name? Still haven't given it all that much thought. Well, let me take that back,...I have a list of girl and boy names but we are waiting until the A/S next week to really discuss them.
Thank you
DH wants really common names. I like Lacey because it's common but I do not know a lot of Lacies (sp plural lol), and I am/was a teacher. The two that have known both had very sweet dispositions. It's great to add another one to the list

Cravings? Still pizza, and fruit. I'm so sad I packed myself a whole bag of food today and forgot it at home. Typical.
Weight gain/loss?(if you feel like sharing) About 15 pounds gained. I haven't gained anything for the past week or so. I wouldn't mind staying at 15 pounds up until I hit 20 weeks, that would make me feel more on track.
Feeling movement? Yep, started feeling some definite nudging last week and it has been getting more consistent. Yesterday my LO was very active. I felt little nudges all day! It was so great!
Any baby purchases? We bought a rocking recliner from La-z-boy for the nursery this weekend. We had to special order it though, so it won't be here for a couple months.
