How far along are you? 23 weeks!! How big is baby? A Barbie Doll or a grapefruit Whats going on this week? Appointments? Nothing at all next appointment is 8/23 and is a boring 24 week quick check Rants/Raves/Questions?
GTKY: Do you have a nursery theme or color scheme? Have you made any progress? Yes and not much. Lol, baby boy is getting a "rustic seaside" nursery. However, nothing has been started. We are moving SD to a "big girl teen room" down the hall and starting that process today. Then we can start the nursery in her old room (which is closer to our room)!
Still trying to find the right sleeping pillow combo to help with back pain. A work in progress.
GTKY: Do you have a nursery theme or color scheme? Have you made any progress?
No progress yet, as it is currently the guest room. The real guest room is a staging area for the laundry/storage room remodel. We can't start the nursery until the laundry room is done. We are close! It's going to be a "woodland" theme with foxes, squirrels, hedgehogs, etc. @Gizmo1231I love the sound of a rustic seaside. We should post nursery photos in a few months to share how they turn out! I bet yours will be beautiful!!
How big is baby? A package of oreos! That seems way big.
Whats going on this week? Appointments? Appointment on Tuesday, during which I will attempt to see if they will schedule my GD test for the last Friday before school officially starts, which is technically 25 +6, one day before the earliest the office wishes to schedule it. But I am already maxing out my sick days for maternity leave and would rather not have to leave early to do it.
Rants/Raves/Questions? DH is out of town for his bro's bachelor party for like, 5 days, and won't be home til Monday night. I was so nervous about being alone with DS (who is 14 months) for 5 days I was like, panicking. BUT all has gone pretty well! I still have to make it through two more days, but he goes to daycare Monday so really, just tomorrow. Knock on wood that it continues to go relatively decently. GTKY: Do you have a nursery theme or color scheme? Have you made any progress? So Lorelei is getting a recycled woodland creatures theme from DS and DS is getting a super mario bros. themed room which we are making progress on...I ordered the stickers for the wall, his room is painted bright blue, and he has some green curtains...he just needs some red furniture accents to make it really awesome. But he's a baby sooooo, maybe that won't happen, haha.
How far along are you? 23 weeks, and it's freaking me out a little bit.
How big is baby? A bunch of grapes
Whats going on this week? Appointments? No appointments, but taking my in-laws adopted sons with us for the week. So I will have 4 kids with me all week! Beach, Zoo, Downtown Seattle, and soccer practice! Hopefully I can get a nap in there somewhere...
Rants/Raves/Questions? I am super happy for our little boy to join us in December, but I already look like I am 8 months pregnant. The coming months should be interesting..,
GTKY: Do you have a nursery theme or color scheme? Have you made any progress? Lol, this is our 3rd baby. We are going to change our guest bedroom a bit, take out on of the 2 full beds. We will have a crib in there, rocking chair, changing table. I guess our theme will be IKEA, we already have a super cute light fixture, bedding, and mobile from ikea. But I'm not going all out, it'll be a nice room but won't break the bank.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who isn't going all out on the nursery here.
@SmashJam is Lorelei the name you guys chose? I love it our little man will be Lucas. My DDs are Ana, and Evelyn. I love the classic names, and ours have to fit in both English and Spanish as we are a mixed family- which sure narrows it down!
@yellingbanana Lorelei is our name! I LOVE Gilmore Girls and would love if my daughter turned out like either Lorelei or Rory (which will be her nickname), minus the teen pregnancy, I guess, so that was the inspiration! I also love the mother/daughter relationship they have.
Both of your daughters names are beautiful, and I love Lucas as a name. We thought about Luca for DS-my husband has Italian and Greek background so for him we were looking for Italian names mostly.
Whats going on this week? Appointments? A bunch of nothing for the rest of this month.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Just excited to feel the baby move a lot more and even see my stomach twitch when he kicks!
GTKY: Do you have a nursery theme or color scheme? Have you made any progress? We are doing gray and yellow as our color scheme. The walls will be gray and our bedding (which my parents just ordered for us) is gray and yellow and has giraffes...not sure if we will have an actual "theme" though.

Whats going on this week? Appointments? glucose test on Monday
Rants/Raves/Questions? back to work on Wednesday...
GTKY: Do you have a nursery theme or color scheme? Have you made any progress? Baby's room is painted light yellow and we are doing white, light gray, and light teal-blue as accent colors. No theme really, just colors. The dresser still needs painted, but then we can start putting everything in the room and things on the walls! When it's done, I'll put a picture in the nursery thread!
Update, DH just informed me that it's imperative that our DS be decked out in Seahawks gear, including his room. But there'll be no repainting the room!

I was totally looking at Hawks gear for the baby on Saturday!
ooh I'm totally behind here! How far along are you? 24 weeks!
How big is baby? A cantaloupe or eggplant
Whats going on this week? Appointments? regular monthly check up on Tuesday morning, should be an easy peasy in and out visit.
Rants/Raves/Questions? not so patiently waiting for fall weather in western pa.. When this humidity breaks I'll be doing my happy dance!!
GTKY: Do you have a nursery theme or color scheme? Have you made any progress? we are primarily doing gray and white, walls are already light gray, the theme will be elephants but not overly decorated! I'm sure I'll throw some fun pops of color in there too.
It's acceptable to do a Saturday check in on Tuesday right? But of course! How far along are you? 21 weeks
How big is baby? As big as an endive. I don't know what that is!
Whats going on this week? Appointments? None this week, my next is in September at 24 weeks. It's crazy how close September is!
Rants/Raves/Questions? We had a small reveal party with family Saturday and they're all thrilled for another girl!
GTKY: Do you have a nursery theme or color scheme? Have you made any progress? Absolutely no progress here. There's a chance we might be moving this fall (insane, I know!) so I'm kind of stalling. But I know I want coral and mint green and gray (or maybe gold instead of gray) and elephants! We just have to wait and see what happens. Either way, I know DD2's nursery won't be ready as early as DD1's was. Sorry second child!
