Bumps & Babies <Grad Thread>

[onesweetworld]

Please come update us on your pregnancies and beautiful babies!!!!

[queenofcats]

Yo! E will be 5 months next week (cue: tears and where has the time gone???) She's a funny girl, loves to giggle, loves to blow raspberries and loves her cats, especially Darcy. She's still not sure of her own name, but if you ask her where Darcy is she will look for him. It's hilarious and makes me so happy since you all know how obsessed with my cats I am. Glad to pass that a long. If she had to inherit anything from me I was hoping that would be it.

Always lurking, rooting and dropping love all over you (yes, that's what that smell was).

Here's E after I dressed her for thanksgiving. Raspberry in action, such a lady. And next to her first Christmas tree.

Hi all 7 weeks today!

Still trucking along feeling pretty good. The only real symptoms I have are that I'm hungry and my nipples feel SUPER sensitive/ouchie. But really, I can't complain.
I have my Dr's appointment next Monday but apparently it's going to be pretty basic stuff so nothing too exciting there.
All the vendors are out in the mall so we bought baby some stuff on the weekend for the nursery and we have been playing around with names.
This week apparently baby is 1/2" so I've been finding things that are a half inch. A thumb tack, an elbow macaroni, the FU (snooze) button on my alarm clock. Lol my ticker says a tic-tac but I don't remember tic tacs being that big lol Also, no more baby blump - Yahoo!

Lurking always, looking forward to seeing some more bumps and babies today and seeing some BFPs soon!

Hey!!!

Not much to report. I'll be 15w tomorrow!!!! But since I have nothing fun going on, here's a video (audio only) I recorded for you! I may have listened to it about a hundred times yesterday.

Hey guys! 17w4d today. Still no bump shot although I had one person ask me if I was pregnant and one person ask me when I was going to start wearing cute maternity tops. Yay?

I snagged my crib and stroller on Black Friday online. My credit card is weeping... but the crib was literally the exact 'dream' one we had picked out in the store together. Same style, same color, etc. It was 40% off...who can argue with that?

Crib picture in case anyone is curious

Of course, I sort of am scared I jinxed myself now...

Other than that I'm just hanging in there. I've been super congested the last few days. No idea if it's allergies or a cold or what.

My anatomy scan is scheduled for December 22nd. MH is still worried he'll end up missing it due to snow.

I'm always lurking and rooting for more BFPs!

[teraiin]

Um queenofcats, how is she that old? and how adorable is she???

Oh. My. GOD. I'm in love! Don't mind me if you have a million "views" by the end of the day.

Hi GKU. It's been a crazy couple of weeks. I've got a free moment while nursing to try to participate though.

I had my scheduled CS since baby was breech to the end a little over 2 weeks ago and our team green turned team pink!!! Baby girl is healthy and beautiful. She lost a lot of weight in the hospital, but seems to be gaining like a champ now that my milk is fully in. I can't believe how much they can grow and change just in 2 weeks!! our pup absolutely adores her too, which is such a relief (he is huge!). My recovery has been really hard and rough. I can't wait to be healed to the point where I can function again. i just want to be able to take care of baby girl.

I lurk often for more bfps. Xo

ETA: a quick pic, but please don't quote. ::poof::

Best thing ever!!! So happy for you @led!!

[ironbaby]

Yay for outside baby girl, ldubhawksfan!

[butlerfan]

@led love love love the update! While I can't "view" it at work I will come back later to listen to it. I'm sure the view count will be increased a ton by then.

[cnf2013]

Thanks for the tag ironbaby . I'm in serious zombie mode today.

Eleanor turned two whole weeks old yesterday. She's starting to get pretty reactive and alert. She mostly chill, all though we had a bad night last night. But that's okay. H is back to work full time this week now too, so I get to play learn how to handle baby on my own. It's going pretty well, nothing really too hard yet except some occasional fussing.

I also got cleared to walk, so I'm all about my treadmill. I've got ten months to get from postpartum to 144.6 mile Ironman. Go away baby weight!





Can't be mad at that face in the middle of the night!

And in case anyone is curious and didn't see it yet, linky to my birth story. 

[teraiin]

She's adorable cnf2013!

[RajahMD]

@led, that is the best use of YouTube ever! Eek!

[ironbaby]

She is precious, cnf2013! And from one crazy to another, 10 months from birth to IM is insane. Good luck!

[cnf2013]

Thanks teraiin, I think so too Also, that crib is fabulous!

ironbaby, I have a treadmill and a bike trainer with a power meter in my basement as well as the summer off to peak (teacher perk, holla!). All I need is a babysitter once or twice a week so I can swim. I'd like to think I can do it. Chattanooga is supposed to be an easier course. As easy as a 140+ mile race gets at least!

[flippinchica]

Eek @led I'm soooo excited for you!
AFM: M is 3 months and doing great. He giggles and hugs his toys. He loves to "talk" to us and be on the move.

Thanks! We loved it in store. I'm short-ish so I was picky when we were looking.

[cnf2013]

I adore you, @ismellbooks Your bump rounded out this week! It's super cute!

[ugotstarbucked]

Hai ladies!

Eloise will be 12 weeks on Friday. I literally can't even. We took a hellish road trip up to my ILs for Thanksgiving. E did as well as could be expected given it was a long drive followed by a lot of new people and places. She wouldn't nap unless held and screamed every time I tried to feed her but we survived. I also had a chance to meet up with @sluttybigb00bz and powerofbacon, which was so much fun!

Here's my little turkey:

This thread makes me so happy

[kelle017]

31 weeks tomorrow.

Baby is moving a lot more lately and some of the movements are uncomfortable at times.

I'm dealing with reflux, restless legs and back pain and I don't sleep much between peeing and a toddler who wakes up every night lately.

I still haven't done much to get ready for this baby although I did buy a pack of white newborn onesies the other day. I am done with work at the end of the month so January is going to be my get stuff done month.

I have an appointment this afternoon and I'm going to talk more to my doctor about the plans to try for a vbac. Then I'm down to 2 week appointments and then every week next month (I think anyway).

Dd is so sweet with this baby. She just turned 2 in October so not sure she fully gets it but she always tries to lift my shirt up, and the tried to show the baby some Christmas lights the other day. Lol!

Picture is from yesterday, not the best bump shot but I had to model my new Lularoe skirt (which is amazing and so comfy!)

[requiressnacks]

@led - I am so, so, SOOOOOO happy for you!!
teraiin - that crib is beautiful. I would have bought it at 40% off
cnf2013 - she is so cute!!

Love all the babies and bumps!

AFM, not a ton to report. I'm 8W2D and have an ultrasound on Thursday. Hopefully my little creature has grown a bit since last time and we get to measure the heartbeat. In my spare time, I am eating all the carbs and lamenting that my pants that are too tight.

I stalk the shit out of all of you. XOXO

[cocobellaf]

Hello! This is my first time to post in a grad thread... yay!!

7 weeks (tomorrow) and sick as a dog, constantly. Our first appointment is Monday, 12/14, and I can't wait!!

Hope to see more of you in the grad thread soon.

ETA:  Posted too soon!  I feel like every day is spent hunting for what I can manage to eat or drink.  We've only told very close family and friends, but my co-workers are starting to get suspicious.  The word might get out more quickly than I had planned!

Magnesium supplements for RLS is the best thing ever. My neurologist told me to take 250-500 mg when I start to feel it and it's like magic at making it stop. Seriously the best thing ever. **obviously, talk to your own doctor blah blah blah**

[Andrea]

Hi GKU!!! ironbaby, thank you for thinking of me! Love ya friend!

I am just trucking along at 13 weeks. I am so freaking thankful for modern medicine and Zofran. It really has made my m/s bearable; I can finally function for the most part now. I have my next appointment next week at 14w3d. I don't think I get another ultra sound until the a/s in January.

Miss you guys. Stalking you daily.

[bradysalon]

I haven't checked in, in a really long time! Since I last checked in, I had a baby! I was induced due to high blood pressure and progressed so quickly that baby's heart rate dropped and I had to have a c- section. Sam was born on 10/21 so he will be 6 weeks tomorrow! He is doing great and we are still in survival mode- just trying to adjust to the little sleep we are getting. But let's get to the pictures!!


I am checking in when I can and always keeping my fingers crossed for you ladies!
