How ya feeling: I feel pretty good honestly. I occasionally feel myself getting really sad. I'm slightly worried I'll get pregnancy induced depression again but right now it just seems like regular mood swings.
Any pics? Nah.
Bonus GTKY: If you could go on a shopping spree at one store, which store would you choose? What would you buy? I'd go to a Fossil store and buy several leather purses/wallets. I've always loved my moms fossil purses but I've never owned a purse that didn't come from target. Maybe one day.
EDD: March 23rd. Weeks/Baby's Size: 14w4d/beet or orange
Appointment plans/results: Finally got ~18w ultrasound booked which is obviously not for a couple weeks. DH is getting antsy since they didn't give us a picture at the dating ultrasound. How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) I'm still having shortness of breath with stairs, walking, & sometimes mild yoga/pilates. Talked to my NP and there's no reason in my bloodwork (or this early in the pregnancy) for it. Makes me even more annoyed that they forced me to wait to book an appointment and then told me they're full for next week.
On a more positive note, I mentioned it last week in passing but it you can suck up the shipping costs on a Belly Bean pillow it's totally worth it!
Bonus GTKY: If you could go on a shopping spree at one store, which store would you choose? What would you buy? I don't know... @amc25's answer is pretty on par. We need new furniture in general from our bedroom to our living room, everything (besides the new glider) is either old or ugly (or perhaps both).

EDD: March 7 or 5th.
Weeks/Baby's Size: 17 weeks/ Pomegranate
Appointment plans/results: Had one last week and everything checked out from the first set of prenatal testing. Sad we didn't get a pic because the baby was hiding. I keep replaying the small glimpse I got of the baby stretching it's legs in my head. A/S in 2.5 weeks! I can't believe it's so close but so far away.
How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) RLP has started I think. Freaks me out when it happens and make me scared for how the baby has to come out eventually.
Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)? Nope nothing to share yet. I'm knitting a baby blanket so I should take a pic of it soon.
Bonus GTKY: If you could go on a shopping spree at one store, which store would you choose? What would you buy? It would probably be a nice furniture houseware store. I can't wait for the day I can buy the comfyiest couch in the store.
Weeks/Baby's Size: 18 weeks tomorrow; can't even believe it!!
Appointment plans/results: Another shot on Wednesday; just when my ass is starting to feel normal again womp womp ETA also my anatomy scan is officially scheduled!! Oct 12!
How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) I'm a little nauseous today, and overall, the heartburn is baddddd. My pelvis is killing me on most days but the good definitely outweighs the bad
Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)? Bump city over here but that is probs since I am barely 5'0
Bonus GTKY: If you could go on a shopping spree at one store, which store would you choose? What would you buy? BEST BUY because I love electronics and games give me all the Sims games and expansions, a new computer, new art tablet yassss.....I am assuming money is not an object here lol. Lord knows I can't afford any of that right now
How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) Still feel terrible, BUT I worked in my office today (instead of my bed). So...progress?
Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)? No
Bonus GTKY: If you could go on a shopping spree at one store, which store would you choose? What would you buy? Nordstrom. I would buy all the shoes, purses, accessories and clothes.
mikaela20 By the time you're close to labor you won't care what you have to do, you just want that baby out. Lol Those last few weeks are pretty cramped.
Appointment plans/results: Last appointment was Thursday, baby weighed 7 oz, decided to show us his gender because the DNA results already did
How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) Feeling okish most of the time. My mil is buying all of the things now that we know the gender.. which is good.. and annoying ><
Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)? I had this beautiful crossstitched blanket I was working on for one for one of the twins. I'm back to doing that, but for this little one. The twins pregnancy didn't exactly give me a chance to finish it for them
Bonus GTKY: If you could go on a shopping spree at one store, which store would you choose? What would you buy? Amusingly enough, I was thinking Sears. Not because it is particularly high end, but because they have EVERYTHING. On second though, Macy's. Lots of new clothes / accessories, and they have the home store to outfit the whole house with new kitchen stuff and furniture

EDD: 3/21 Weeks/Baby's size: 15 weeks tomorrow!! Lemon today, orange tomorrow. How ya feeling: I made it through the weekend without bleeding! SIL isn't all the impressed since I was sick Saturday and glued to the couch because of it. I've had some RLP, boobs are still sore. My gag reflex is awful which resulted in me puking on Friday from coughing so that was fun. Any pics: if baby is a girl, I have a color scheme in mind for her room! I apologize if this is huge. I'll have brown in place of black. If we are still in this house, the walls of her room are already green. I'm excited! Appts: appointment on Thursday!! GTKY: Nordstrom. Not that I really shop there, but a few blogs that I read are all Nordstrom obsessed so I feel like you can get everything you would ever want from there!
Post by erinshelley21 on Sept 26, 2016 17:49:40 GMT -5
Ok now that I look at that pic the sweater I'm thinking is black might be blue. Either way, brown will go in its place since the furniture is brown and so are the doors.
Appointment plans/results: No appt until 10/6, but I caved and booked an elective u/s to (hopefully) find out boy/girl tomorrow!!! I feel like it's way too early, but this woman is good and says any time after 13w is fine, so fingers crossed.
How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) Feeling good! Still dealing with awful acne, but otherwise I often forget I'm pregnant, until I pass a mirror and have to pause to see if I can suck my belly in or not (I officially can't). We score a very old, but appears to be in working condition, double Bob jogging stroller off of craigslist for $75! I figure if we find a better deal (newer or whatever), I'll always be able to sell a double bob to get my $75 back.
Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)? I decided if it's a boy, the nursery will either be Monsters Inc or an under the sea theme. If it's another girl, I have no idea.
Bonus GTKY: If you could go on a shopping spree at one store, which store would you choose? What would you buy? I'm not much of a shopper (unless I'm at Target), but I've never been in a Nordstrom, but from the sounds of it I could find plenty to buy there! Or, like others have said, a nice furniture store, only once the kids are grown and the animals are gone b/c I've given up trying to have nice things until then.

EDD: 3/6
Weeks/Baby's Size: 17 weeks today! size of a game console or pomegranate
Appointment plans/results: -next appointment is 17th then a/s the 21st! Sooo excited and I can't believe oct is on Saturday!
How ya feeling: -feeling good, I do forget I'm pregnant until the RLP reminds me, or when I want a huge glass of wine or yummy fall beer
Any pics? I made a bunny hat for my friend, I love it!
Bonus GTKY: If you could go on a shopping spree at one store, which store would you choose? What would you buy? -I actually really liked when pp said furniture store, we really need all new stuff. But then Nordstrom would be pretty awesome too, love their clothes and shoes for both babies and adults.
Appointment plans/results: Just got our MaterniT21 results back...everything looks fine and we are team pink! Next OB appt and scan are a few weeks away.
How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) I still have some nausea, but it's getting better. I'm excited to announce but am still trying to come up with an idea for a pic.
Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)? Nada. I think I might start joining HDBD this week if I remember.
Bonus GTKY: If you could go on a shopping spree at one store, which store would you choose? What would you buy? I'd probably choose Target. So boring, but you can get a little bit of everything there.

EDD: 3/7
Weeks/Baby's Size: 17w/Large order of fries
Appointment plans/results: Regular MW appt on Friday
How ya feeling: Feeling pretty good, even though I think DH got me sick. I can feel the baby move on a regular basis now, which is fun. I have another prenatal workout class tonight that I'm looking forward to.
Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)? I think I want to make this - I need to see what yarn I already have. I might also just make a plan play mat/thick blanket with the bunch of orange yarn I've already got (it was meant to be...many things).
Bonus GTKY: If you could go on a shopping spree at one store, which store would you choose? What would you buy? I think I would choose a bookstore, and get a ton of true crime books and all the new releases I want but can never justify paying full price for. Close seconds are Lush (all the bath stuff!) and Nordstroms (shoes and makeup and pretty clothes).

EDD: 3/28

Appointment plans/results: after having a very rude conversation with the reception I got a call from my OB! All NT scans and blood work look great! Anatomy Scan 11/3 and next OB 10/22
How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) feeling ok! Getting less sleepy! Back hurts today - what else is knew!
Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)? Nope
Bonus GTKY: If you could go on a shopping spree at one store, which store would you choose? What would you buy? Does Amazon count? They have everything!
How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) Feeling better. Still not completely over the MS, but maybe October will be the month!
Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)? Nope
Bonus GTKY: If you could go on a shopping spree at one store, which store would you choose? What would you buy? I don't know what store, but if someone would pick out a whole new wardrobe for me, I'd do it.
I'll post over on the sex thread, but we are team pink!!! I'm shocked and so excited! My sister and I are 19 months apart and so different but so close, so I'm thrilled. H is very excited but a bit "ah shit, no boys in the house" lol she looked happy and healthy and right on track though!

EDD: 3-17-17
Weeks/Baby's Size: 15 weeks, Ovia says a box of crayons.
Appointment plans/results: I had an appointment yesterday with my OB (FINALLY, she has been on maternity leave). I received my 1st of many Makena shots (I will be getting them weekly). It wasn't too bad, but whatever I need to do to keep this baby cooking! My OB has also decided that she will induce no later than 37 weeks, 38 if I am lucky. So we are definitely looking at a February baby. Plus side is that she has ordered for me to have formal ultrasounds done every 3-4 weeks to check cervical length, which is my biggest concern so, I am very happy about that. OH! And it's a girl! She did a quick ultrasound and she pretty positive it's a girl!
How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) I'm okay, I've been getting frequent headaches so that's a bummer.
Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)? Not at the moment.
Bonus GTKY: If you could go on a shopping spree at one store, which store would you choose? What would you buy? Nordstroms.... You can get everything there!! Shoes, makeup, clothes even baby stuff!

EDD: 4/3
Weeks/Baby's Size: 13w4d, peach
Appointment plans/results: Nothing until Oct.17
How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) RLP is definitely here, MS is subsiding so I'm only nauseous every couple days and throwing up every 3-4 days. I've been wondering if I've been feeling baby move but it seems so early for that I think I'm imagining things, I didn't feel anything until about 17 weeks last time.
Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)? Nope
Bonus GTKY: Not a store but etsy so I could get cute baby things for the nursery. I made everything for DS and will again this time but a few professional things I could never figure out myself would be nice.
Post by ladytiffany24 on Sept 30, 2016 9:52:24 GMT -5
As usual, I'm way late this week!
EDD: 3/30
Weeks/Baby's Size: 14w1d/peach, troll doll
Appointment plans/results: Nothing until Oct 11th
How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) Finally starting to feel human again (knocks on wood). Not as tired and nausea is few and far between. That's all I've got today!
Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)? I posted my bump on Wednesday.
Bonus GTKY: If you could go on a shopping spree at one store, which store would you choose? What would you buy? I'll be boring and say Target. So much variety!
