I'm back! Thanks oldbaylover1024 for covering for me the past 2 weeks.

How far along are you?

What are you doing this week to prepare for baby?

What is your current pregnancy joy (other than being pregnant)?

Any updates/news from last week?

QOTW: Halloween season starts for me this weekend (I work at a haunted house in Oct) so I'm already in that mindset. Are you dressing up for Halloween? Any ideas for your costume(s)?

How far along are you? 28 weeks. Hello 3rd trimester!

What are you doing this week to prepare for baby? Um...we announced the name....lol...we need to go register cause my BFF has decided to throw us a shower and we need to get started on the nursery b/c it's currently a disaster...but I don't see any of those happening this weekend

What is your current pregnancy joy (other than being pregnant)? Feeling her wiggling around like crazy in there. She's very sassy and will kick if anything is put on my belly (she was kicking the ultrasound wand at my appt Tues)

Any updates/news from last week? Had my first growth ultrasound Tues..she's measuring right at 50% for her size and the fluid level looks great.

QOTW: Halloween season starts for me this weekend (I work at a haunted house in Oct) so I'm already in that mindset. Are you dressing up for Halloween? Any ideas for your costume(s)? Well..while we were at Disney, we went to a Halloween party as Jake and the Neverland pirates (DH was Jake, DD1 was Izzy, and I was Cubby). That's probably all the dressing up I'll do, but DD will be going to Boo at the Zoo next Thurs and hasn't made up her mind what she wants to be yet (hopefully something we already own so I don't have to buy a new costume).

Glad you had a great time in Disney, tbonequeen13!

How far along are you? 20w tomorrow!

What are you doing this week to prepare for baby? Sorting baby clothes and cleaning. My girlfriend gave us a bunch of hand-me-downs, so I'm going to do laundry and sort them. Now that the nursery is basically empty of junk and ready to be cleaned and decorated, I'll probably do some cleaning in there and organize the dresser/closet as much as I can.

What is your current pregnancy joy (other than being pregnant)? Excited (but very anxious/nervous) for our a/s on Tuesday. FX he's healthy and happy in there!

Any updates/news from last week? Half baked tomorrow Crazy!

QOTW: MH and I aren't dressing up. We used to do Halloween BIG - went to a party, dressed up, decorated the house - but time is so tight these days, we haven't gotten as into it as we used to. I'll probably do some fake spider webs on the house, put out the few decorations we have, wear a witch hat to hand out candy, and call it a day.

oldbaylover1024, hope everything goes great for your a/s!

Happy Friday ladies, and happy last day of September - October is my favorite month and I'm so happy it's finally here!

How far along are you? 36w4d

What are you doing this week to prepare for baby? I got my flu shot yesterday and I packed the baby's bag for the hospital (just outfits and swaddles).

What is your current pregnancy joy (other than being pregnant)? That I am very close to the end? I'm pretty uncomfortable and ready to meet her.

Any updates/news from last week? Not really. I had my first cervix check yesterday and I'm not dilated at all. We did set an induction for 39 weeks though and that's only 17 days away!

QOTW: Halloween season starts for me this weekend (I work at a haunted house in Oct) so I'm already in that mindset. Are you dressing up for Halloween? Any ideas for your costume(s)? I LOVE HALLOWEEN - it's my favorite holiday. So this year might be a little different since I should have a 2 week old...but I am still planning to help take my boys TOTing. I won't be doing a costume since I will be pretty freshly postpartum. I do have a cute skeleton sleeper for the baby. We are planning to decorate our house this weekend, we go all out with the décor!

Second trimester? You mean...ME?

15 weeks today

I got some solid color leggings in bigger sizes from kohl's online in bigger sizes for her. She will be reusing lots of her brother's baby clothes. I sorted over the last few days, just need to clean now .

Current pregnancy joy is that we are "out" to family now so I came wear my maternity clothes

Nothing new to report, just good verifi results.

Probably just a shirt with a pumpkin on it. I'll be 19 weeks then, so should have a noticable bump.

ksyknelvr73, 17 days?!? how exciting to have a definite end in sight!

opheliainwaders, your neighborhood sounds like an awesome place to spend Halloween!

madameovary, yay maternity clothes! they are so much more comfortable, lol
