Hello ladies! It seems like the days are really starting to tick away now.
How is everyone feeling?
Are you fully prepared for baby or is your to-do list still a mile long?
Any shopping plans? Anyone going to take advantage of the big Target baby sale?

Re: ~~~Jan 6-12 Check In ~~~
Are you fully prepared for baby or is your todo list still a mile long? Definitely still a mile long. I feel like we will never get there!
Any shopping plans? Obviously erased too far, but on my phone and can't get it back. I bought a couple of things for LO this weekend at the outlets. Considering the Target sale, but I don't want to buy too much before our baby showers.
How is everyone feeling? Pretty good most days but this weekend my back/hips started bothering me. Hope the pain is not here to stay!
Are you fully prepared for baby or is your to-do list still a mile long? Let's just say we have the car seat and going home outfit! Haven't even started in the nursery... The plan is to start that next weekend but who knows.
Any shopping plans? Anyone going to take advantage of the big Target baby sale? I may buy a couple of things but we are waiting until after our shower (on Nov. 3rd) to do a major shopping spree to clean out our registries. In the meantime we're stashing away money to use when we decide to finish off the registry...How is everyone feeling? I feel pretty amazing. I slept a lot this weekend so I don't know if it was baby going through a growth spurt and draining me or if I'm still recovering from the stomach flu but either way, it was wonderful. Some RLP here and there but nothing major right now. I'm expecting baby to have another growth spurt and more RLP to happen soon.
Are you fully prepared for baby or is your to-do list still a mile long? I'd say I'm half way between prepared and mile long to-do list. We are waiting till our shower to make a lot of purchases so for that reason, its hard to be fully prepared. We have the big furniture and I might start washing some baby clothing this weekend.
Any shopping plans? Anyone going to take advantage of the big Target baby sale? Even though our shower isn't till November 10 I've been stalking the registries so I have a pretty good idea of what has been purchased and what hasn't thus far. I'm highly considering buying some of the items I really want while they are on sale and if we get them during the shower, then I can return either the ones I purchased or the one that was purchased for us. I do plan to buy the Snugamonkey RNP while its on sale though because a RNP is high on my list of wants.Our house building adventure (UPDATED 8/20/12)

Are you fully prepared for baby or is your todo list still a mile long? Heck no!!! Our shower is November 4th. After then I think we'll start crunch time mode. I hope.

I started looking over that sale. Now I'm trying to determine if I should just get a travel system or not. Ugh! Decisions.
Outside of always feeling like I need more sleep, I'm feeling pretty good.
I am not prepared in the least bit! I began cleaning out the spare room, which will by our LO's nursery, this weekend. Our to do list is more than a mile long. I told myself that I would really kick in and start preparing at 30 weeks.
No shopping plans for me. I hate shopping with a passion. I have 3 baby showers coming up so hopefully we'll get close to all we need or will at least be able to return/exchange things.
How is everyone feeling? Extremely tired all the time. I also experienced my first day of a few hours of BH on Friday while away in Calgary, so that was a whole lot of fun.
Are you fully prepared for baby or is your to-do list still a mile long? We have everything for her nursery, but no nursery. That SHOULD be getting done this weekend, but home renos seem to keep hitting snags.
Any shopping plans? Anyone going to take advantage of the big Target baby sale? I am trying to not do any more baby shopping until after my showers on November 24 & 25. As for the target sale, we don't have Target yet in Canada.

How is everyone feeling? I've felt better. I'm not sleeping well thanks to overall discomfort and pain in my hips and I feel really tired all the time. Aside from that I'm feeling ok. Thankfully the discomfort isn't the worst ever.
Are you fully prepared for baby or is your to-do list still a mile long? A mile long! My shower's the 10th then after that I'll do all my shopping for the last things we need. I feel like we were doing well for a while then it all kind of stopped. I haven't bought anything in over a month.
Any shopping plans? Anyone going to take advantage of the big Target baby sale? The rocker I want is on sale, but it's also on my registry. I'll have to see if I can wait and if I don't get it by the 2nd then I'll get it myself. I haven't looked through everything else but I will and pick up the little things that aren't on my registry.My Blog: Sewing, crafting, motherhood, computers, and random musings...

How is everyone feeling? This time around I feel like Sh!T. I had the BEST pregnancy with DD, and this time I am getting every ailment in the book.
Are you fully prepared for baby or is your to-do list still a mile long? - My wonderful DH decided to take this week off work. He PLANS to finailly convert the office into the nursary, clean out the garage and get rid of the funniture that has been sitting in the garage since we moved and do not need.
Any shopping plans? Anyone going to take advantage of the big Target baby sale? - Target doesn't open in Canada until 2013 or 14
I'm not feeling too bad. The insomnia is hitting me pretty hard and with DS fighting naps most days, I am just exhausted. The heartburn is starting to get real bad too.
I think I am pretty much prepared for the baby, but that is because I have all the stuff from DS and don't really need to buy much.
No shopping plans anytime soon. I would love to hit the Target sale. I miss Target so much, there isn't even anything comparable here.
How is everyone feeling?
Crazy libido still, back pain, constipation since I now take Iron supplements!
Are you fully prepared for baby or is your to-do list still a mile long?
Not Yet, but coming close. I have one shower on Dec 16th and two after the baby is born. So I almost have the basics down now.
Any shopping plans? Anyone going to take advantage of the big Target baby sale?
I just went to a mothers market which is like a yard sale where lots of mothers get together and sell their used items! lots of good deals there!
Hello!! Long time no see girls, I hope all is wonderful in your lives and bellies
How is everyone feeling? I feel pretty good, my husband infected me with a cold so that's pretty annoying and i'm starting to feel more pressure down there so I think baby may have done the flip, but I won't know for sure until my next apptAny shopping plans? Anyone going to take advantage of the big Target baby sale?
I feel like I have been shopping so much the past two weeks, I should slow down lol. I will look into this Target Baby Sale though now that you mention it, but we're just about done
How is everyone feeling? Generally feeling pretty good. I start to get achy if I walk too much though and I am getting BH pretty much every day now, both of which are annoying.
Are you fully prepared for baby or is your to-do list still a mile long? We've taken care of quite a bit, but still have several things to check off our list. The nursery is getting painted this week, so once that's done, we can start getting it organized. I think we've found a pediatrician, but I still need to set up a pre-natal visit, and we need to find a lawyer to set up a will/trust.
Any shopping plans? Anyone going to take advantage of the big Target baby sale? My showers are October 27 and November 18, so I am going to hold off on shopping until after those. I figure there will be enough sales for Black Friday/Cyber Monday that I can stock up on essentials then!

How is everyone feeling? Feeling pretty good. I slept a lot this weekend.
Are you fully prepared for baby or is your to-do list still a mile long? I feel like the list is a mile long but it will all come together.
Any shopping plans? Anyone going to take advantage of the big Target baby sale? Plan on doing some shopping this weekend and taking advatage of the RnP on sale at Target.
Are you waiting because of a shower? I'm in the same boat but kind of thinking maybe I'll order a few things that are on sale now and I could always return either my order or the gift later. I don't think I would mark it from my registry though and I'll just hide it in the baby room till after the shower.

How is everyone feeling? I'm feeling pretty good....I'm having sleep problems but this week I've been drinking less water before bed and sleeping with earplugs which has helped a lot!
Are you fully prepared for baby or is your to-do list still a mile long? My to-do list is still a mile long but I'm trying to do one or two things each night to make it more manageable.
Any shopping plans? Anyone going to take advantage of the big Target baby sale? I have a list of things we need, so I'll be heading out to Target this week to check it out. This is LO#2 so I'm not having a shower (hence, need to shop sales!).
Yes. DH said if there is something I want I should just get it now and hold on to it until I see what we get at the shower.
How is everyone feeling? Ok... i had my 3 hour test today. ugh.
Are you fully prepared for baby or is your to-do list still a mile long? the furniture is all purchased and put together! we just need some sheets and mattress pads. Then we wait for the showers to get all the fun stuff :-). I plan on having the carseat installed and hospital bag packed by the first week in December.
Any shopping plans? Anyone going to take advantage of the big Target baby sale? My Target is kinda far, and never seems to have anything. In about 3 weeks my mom and I are going to the Carter's outlet to grab some clothes.

Are you fully prepared for baby or is your to-do list still a mile long? I'm usually a huge planner and like to work ahead, so it's driving me nuts that I can't be as ready for baby as I'd like. We are renovating the house that we will be moving into, so everything is torn apart and we are just starting to put it back together. We probably won't move in until spring. So I need to carve out space for the bare essentials here at the old house for LO's first 2-3 months or so until we move. The house should be ready by the holidays, but I'm not moving that close to delivery. At least I can take a few months to get things set up at the new house after baby arrives and I recovery before we actually move.
Any shopping plans? Anyone going to take advantage of the big Target baby sale? No plans to shop until after my shower on Nov. 17th. I want to take advantage of the sales, but I'm waiting to see what happens with the shower first.
How is everyone feeling? I am feeling good! A little tired and getting charlie horses in my calves while I sleep. Other than that surprisingly well.
Are you fully prepared for baby or is your to-do list still a mile long? Oh for sure a mile long. The most daunting task on my list are day care plans.
Any shopping plans? Anyone going to take advantage of the big Target baby sale? I would like to, but DH says we have to wait until after my showers. I am having three- Nov. 4, Nov. 11, and Dec. 1st. Only two items have been purchased off my registries so I am getting a little nervous about that. But I guess they still have time to shop, right??4 losses- MC in 2006, MMC in February 2012 at 12 weeks and MMC (twins) August 2016 at 12 weeks. Pregnant again- 11/7/16. Another loss on December 28, 2016.
BFP April 23, 2017. Our triple rainbow baby! EDD: January 2, 2018. It's a boy!
Hello ladies! It seems like the days are really starting to tick away now.
How is everyone feeling? My back and ribs hurt like hell, but they have the whole time. I finally got some compression knee highs and my ankles and feet look and feel much better, even after only one day! I need a pedi for sure though, my skin has dried out terribly from being swollen.
Are you fully prepared for baby or is your to-do list still a mile long? Miles long...Still trying to find a dresser and armoire for the nursery.
Any shopping plans? Anyone going to take advantage of the big Target baby sale? Showers aren't until Nov 10th, so I'm tentative to really get stuff on my own, but I'm hoping that everyone knows its going on because the prices are very good on my registry items! I did purchase a darling diaper bag at BRU that is black leather with gold metal accents...totally looks like a big purse, which is what I wanted. I feel sorta bad because DH may have to tote it around sometimes, but I'm thinking I'll get a basic canvas tote for him to use
How is everyone feeling? Feeling exhausted
Are you fully prepared for baby or is your to-do list still a mile long? I'd say somewhere in between.
Any shopping plans? Anyone going to take advantage of the big Target baby sale? Bought a mattress yesterday. Probably going to wait to do shopping until after my showers.Twin Girls-Eden Alyssa and Ilana Claire born 12.12.12!
I get those too, they're the worst!

Starting to feel huge.
Are you fully prepared for baby or is your to-do list still a mile long?
Hahahahahah! Not even close. There is no nursery yet, waiting to move in 2.5 weeks. Once e move is over I will have a LOT to catch up on.

Nope.
BFP #1:10/31/10 DS born 6/22/11BFP #3:4/24/12 DD born 12/31/12
How is everyone feeling?
The Good: Overall my energy level is good in the mornings. I'm sleeping well. Still working without issue. No complications or concerns from the Friday doc appointment.
The Not So Good: Hip pain is definitely interfering with walking, which I enjoy. Peeing constantly is annoying. Very tired in afternoons. Slowly having to accept that I need to slow down and rest more, especially on weekends. This is hard when you're used to a go, go, go pace. Just keeping the house somewhat clean and grocery shopping is tiring.
Are you fully prepared for baby or is your to-do list still a mile long?
Well, we're making progress on the nursery. All the furniture came in! (It's in the living room.) We will probably paint this weekend. I'm not buying lots of things until after the showers in November. If we don't get all our big items, then we will formulate a plan. We are enrolled in a childbirth class now, scheduled for the beginning of December. I'm reading a book about breastfeeding.
Any shopping plans? Anyone going to take advantage of the big Target baby sale?
Nope. Holding out until after the showers. I will pick up random small items here and there, but overall I'm being good and holding out.
How is everyone feeling? I've been feeling surprisingly well the entire pregnancy..I was diagnosed with GD on Friday and was down and out for the weekend because my hormones really took over..but I'm looking at the bright side of knowing now and I'm back to feeling really well!
Are you fully prepared for baby or is your to-do list still a mile long? Our to-do list is still a thousand miles long! However, DH is off of work this week, so he is getting started on cleaning out our spare bedroom to turn it in to the nursery. Therefore, our crib/changing table/etc should be good to go by the end of the weekend and then we'll keep going from there!
Any shopping plans? Anyone going to take advantage of the big Target baby sale? Our shower is this Sunday, so we will start working on getting all the necessities we do not receive from the shower off of our list very soon (and hopefully the Target baby sale will come in handy for that!)
