Hey!
E is 5.5 months. I'm so excited for her first Christmas this week and she's just social enough to really enjoy it. Her sleep has been suffering this past week, okay it's downright sucked, but she's so cute and funny it makes up for it. She likes to grab her feet and my face while she's nursing, she's never still. Ever. We got out her big girl convertible car seat this week because she's getting huge. She's growing up so fast. They aren't kidding when they say it goes by in a blink of an eye.
Always lurking, rooting and sending you all my love.

Hey everyone! I will be 12 weeks tomorrow. Waiting for results of my MaterniT21 test and trying to keep some food down. My belly is popping out even though I've lost 5 lbs. Got a surprise ultrasound Thursday and Fred and George are looking more like babies and less like sea monkeys.
Wishing everyone a Happy Holiday season filled with all the wine!
37 weeks and 4 days! I have been running around like a crazy person the last week between work, DD1's birthday, party on Sunday, Christmas and pre-baby errands, a friend's party last night, and Christmas just 3 days away!
I am exhausted and we are totally not prepared to bring a newborn into our home at the moment, but I'm hoping she'll hold out long enough for us to at least get a few more things in order for her arrival. I go back and forth thinking she might come any minute and worrying I'll be pregnant and miserable 2 weeks into January, debating an induction.
She feels super low the last two days, causing a lot of groin and pelvic discomfort, along with the usual symptoms -- heartburn, nausea, low back pain, cramps, and on & off BH contractions. I had an episode of pretty real feeling contractions one night last week, but nothing too concerning since, thank goodness. My next appointment is tomorrow morning.
Here is today's bump:
Here's DD getting her birthday cupcake on Saturday night (excuse mac & cheese face, haha). I cannot believe my baby is 2!
And here's my tree I finally got (mostly) decorated last night:
Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas - or whatever you celebrate - and congratulations to ALL the recent BFPs! I have been so happy and overwhelmed with feels seeing so many lately. Also, sending hugs and love to those going through tough times, especially now around the holidays.

13 weeks today! Had my actual first consult with my OB yesterday. We got to see little Wafflette, who was a total wiggle worm and would not stay still. I'm already swelling up so I got an RX for compression socks. Can't wait to see what it's like at 30+ weeks. In other news, we are announcing the pregnancy to our families this weekend so that'll be fun and exciting!
As always, rooting for MOAR BFPs and wishing you all a very happy holiday.

Heyyyyy! 9w6d here. Symptoms are easing up, which is awesome & scary at the same time. The only one that's staying consistent is the exhaustion..JAYSUS I'M SO TIRED. Other than that just waiting for the NT scan on January 13. Creepy lurking y'all when I can
Number One: Born 06.16.2009 BFP: 01.17.2014 / MC 02.05.2014 BFP: 03.08.2014 / MMC: 05.07.2014 Dx: Partial Molar/GTD. Benched until 01.2015 Number Two: Born 07.22.2016
I'll be 18w tomorrow. I had another bleeding scare the other day but baby seems fine. It happened again after walking around all day so now we're paranoid (h even more than me) about me walking too much because last time I had issues with walking too much causing bleeding I miscarried and they could still never figure out why activity caused so much bleeding. So that's fun. Also I've been having a lot of BH contractions that are really painful and the doctor seems to think they probably will just get worse not better, so I'm really looking forward to that.
In happier news, we decided how we're going to tell h's family! My family doesn't get anything fun. I'll send one of my parents a text and let the news trickle down. But h's sister is due beginning of February with her first, so we're going to send a onesie to his mom to give to his sister (in a way that she'll see it first) that says "I'd rather be with my cousin." They know we've been trying for forever, so hopefully they get it and it's not too vague. Alternately there's one that I don't like as much that says something about being promoted to big cousin. I don't know, we have a couple weeks to decide.
So nothing new for us, we're doing pretty much the same. Saw Dr yesterday and there is nothing new to report. I am fine, baby is fine, we're trucking right along. I am having a much harder time sleeping lately, totally sucks. I am getting close to done work (4 more weeks!) and we toured our hospital last weekend which I think lit a fire under DH (not that he really needed it!) We're planning to get the car seat base installed and checked this weekend/next week before it gets too cold. We still have a lot of little things to do, most of it involves washing things....lol.
So here we are today at 33+3. Please forgive if the pic is huge, Its my first time using a different host and I'm unsure I did it properly.

E hit the month mark yesterday! It was preceded by two days of cluster feeding and ended with a nightmare of a night, but she was all cute and snuggly yesterday all day. H got to come home early (brought me lunch from Qdoba!) and get in some extra baby snuggles, too. Last night he said he was jealous of me for getting to hold her so much more.
Then she woke up. Bwahahaha.
So here she was yesterday with her little one month picture!
Ellie turned six weeks yesterday! Craziness. Daddy is off work for the next two weeks which is great, I could use the extra set of hands since she's decided she needs to get held all day long. She discovered intentional screaming this week, so we've got lots of noise happening. She also is starting to smile when you tickle her, so that's adorable.
I'm cleared to run, so I've slowly started logging distance again. My legs are so happy and hopefully I can shake these last 15lbs now.
I'm always lurking and cheering for more bfps! Happy holidays, friends!

Yay after a long time I finally got something to check in with! I haven't a bump yet, I look fat, like usual so I envy all the cute lady bumps. But I had my ultrasound this morning so I have a baby picture! Can you see my little guy looking right at you? I'm 22w4s today.

10w1d. Still sick, but I haven't thrown up in over a week so that is major progress right there. Had my first meltdown yesterday, it wasn't pretty. I can definitely see my waistline thickening, and I'm not sure how I feel about that... so soon! Anxiously awaiting the days when I feel like eating healthier foods and incorporating some exercise into my routine. Until then, I will eat what I can and sleep all the time.

Dominic is in the middle of sleep regression at 3.5 months. He's the same length as his 8 month old nephew. Teething and now grabs my face to give me big slobbery kisses. Getting ready for busy week ahead with family..
10 weeks today! Officially in the double digits and officially unable to wear pants lol. I've been surviving on sweatpants and leggings until I can get some maternity wear lol
No crazy symptoms to speak of just mild sporadic heartburn, and I want nothing to do with breakfast meats if any kind.
I also found out that in addition to being a mom next summer I'm going to be a god mother!! My BFF IRL and her husband told us they were expecting too yesterday. I am very excited to experience this with her. She is 6.5 weeks
Very exciting bfps lately! Stalking always, lurve yew all!
G will be 8 weeks tomorrow.... Yikes! He's recently discovered that he can put his hands in his mouth if he loses his pacifier and wants to be held all the time. I love it but it's hard when I'm trying to get things ready to visit family tomorrow.
My heart melted the other day when I walked over to his cradle where he was awake and he looked up, saw me and smiled. I love this little man so much.
I love seeing the bfps that have been coming lately- what a lovely Christmas present.

Hi GKU!
I'm 19w3d today and it has been a really exciting week! First off, we had our A/S last Wednesday and it went really well! Baby's size is measuring a few days ahead and heartbeat was a strong 156 bpm. All the organs, bones and joints are beautiful. Only issue was that the stubborn baby would not let the tech get a clear view his or her spine - she said that what she could see of it and the skull indicate everything is normal but she recommends coming back for a follow-up. (We'll discuss with our midwife whether that is necessary.) Since we're Team Green, the tech avoided that area altogether and I didn't see anything to give it away. MH and I both still have strong girl vibes, though.
Photos of our "spirited" baby - breech and doing yoga:
The other fun development this week has been kicks strong enough for dad to feel and both of us to see! I think the baby's position, with feet so low, allows MH to feel the kicks this early - everyone said I'd feel it for like a month before he could. Last night the baby was really rambunctious and active - I pulled my shirt up and we could see a few of the kicks. My mind is so blown. Of course, with the constant movement and our great check-up I am feeling more confident than ever.
We're traveling to see our families over the next 10 days - here's hoping that we can keep things relatively mellow and drama-free. (Never an easy task.) I hope everyone has very restful, festive and safe holidays!

Hey you guys!
Sam is 2 months old... 9 weeks tomorrow. I go back to work January 4th and little man has to go to daycare. It makes me so sad to leave him but it will be nice to see other people (adults) other than DH, LO and my MIL. Sam is obsessed with the fan and Christmas lights. He has started smiling and he has found his hand. Nom nom nom! We are excited for his first Christmas even though he has no idea what is going on! Hahahaha. Have a great Christmas and fx for BFP. I might start checking in on the WTDS thread because we plan to TTA for the next year and then start TTC again. Why I am thinking about that already, I do not know. Now for pictures:
