Ellie turned two months old on Saturday! I can't believe it.
She's super talkative and smiley. She loves to sit up too and is a master at holding her head up. We go for her two month doctors appointment tomorrow. Hopefully I don't cry when she gets her shots.
Hi GKU! I'm 24w4d. Can't even believe how fast time is going. Same old complaints (heart burn and being tired). With the exception of getting up 35830985 times a night to pee, I'm not sleeping that badly. I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts. I had an appointment this morning and everything is looking good. Measuring right on track and baby boy has a good strong heart beat.
Here's a bump shot from last week. Please ignore sketchy work bathroom.
As always, I'm lurking, lting, sometimes interrupting random chats ( ) and constantly hoping for more BFPs.
I am 14 weeks exactly today and officially in 2nd trimester! Woo!! I've been feeling pretty good - just a runny nose all the time and I get out of breath really easily.
I staged the nursery yesterday because we are selling the house and I am really happy with how it turned out. Granted, this room won't actually be our baby's room but whatever lol.
It is now looking more and more like we will be posted to the west coast this summer. Although starting somewhere new is kind of cool, and I am PUMPED to live somewhere that rarely goes below freezing, I am incredibly upset to have to move away from our two step kids, my parents, and our BFFs especially so close to after the baby is born
Nothing is certain yet though.
Here is a massive nursery and bump combo pic (mobile sorry)
Lurking always - some of your random threads have been cracking me up this past week lol (does anyone know how to disable siggys on mobile? That's why I never jump in)

Thanks for the tag ironbaby. I'm getting an early ultrasound on Friday so I had been planning to wait until after then to post here.
I'll come back after the appointment Friday, but for today I'm 6 weeks 4 days. The u/s will be at 7 weeks exactly so I'm really hoping to for a strong HB and to get to see it flickering. I'm nervous but excited and just hoping everything is ok.
Physically I'm doing alright. Pretty tired all the time, but that's not surprising. Today was the first day my stomach felt off enough to put my Sea Bands on, but can't complain - I'll take queasy over getting sick any day. **knock on wood**
I was going to skip this week because I'm feeling awful and didn't want to make a not happy update, but just be warned the following is nothing but whining.
Where to start. Well, Thursday/Friday I spent laying in bed crying because I was in so much pain I could barely get up to at all. Which just led to me being dehydrated and getting a terrible migraine. I'm still in a lot of pain because I can't take any of my pain meds during pregnancy and the SPD is completely kicking my ass on top of all the normal pain I've been dealing with. I called the perinatologist and my only options are either sucking it up and dealing with it or getting some blood work (not actually an option, this will be happening tomorrow for safety) to make sure it's not my RA and that it's just my other pain issues flaring up and then starting steroids. So do nothing and cry in bed everyday or gain 500 lbs and be miserable. Awesome choice.
Today I'm hanging out on the couch waiting for maintenance to come paint our bathroom, but if they're not here by lunch I'm going back to bed. I tried to get up to pee in the middle of the night and fell to my knees because the pain of standing was apparently too much, so now my knee hurts when I put any bit of weight on it from that on top of everything else. So that's fun. But I've got a tray full of snacks and drinks on the coffee table, so I'm set for the day.
On a lighter note, I want to seriously thank Rama for being such an awesome friend, though. She got me out of the house yesterday and it was so nice to not be stuck staring at the ceiling for yet another day. Thank you thank you.
Oh, and I guess baby related, H's work is closing and there's an awesome love seat there that no one else wanted, so H claimed it for the nursery! So now I don't have to deal with trying to find a recliner that actually fits me! And to make it even better it'll stay there until that office is done packing up so we don't have to deal with trying to find a place to put it until then and hopefully our roommate will be moved out by then.
DD2 is 3.5 weeks and growing so quickly! :::sobs::: She's going through a growth spurt, so yesterday was nursing ALL day, and today seems to be lots of sleeping. Her night sleep is still inconsistent, but improving slightly. She's is often fussy when she's awake, especially later in the day. There's a part of me suspecting she may have reflux, but her symptoms could just be normal newborn stuff, so I'm not jumping to conclusions or calling the pediatrician just yet.
We found out this weekend that things have not been going well at our store, and one of the employees gave her notice - her last day was Friday. My parents decided not to tell MH & I right away, since they didn't want to stress us out so soon after having the baby. Anyway, now I will need to go back to work, at least part time, much sooner than expected. I'm really sad to not be able to have the same time with DD2 as I did with DD1, and still trying to wrap my head around it. It will be okay, but it's tough.
Here are some pics from this last week:
Lots of love to all, and wishes for lots of BFPs, healthy pregnancies, and many cute babies!
Hey guys! I am 6w6d today and I had an ultrasound yesterday so I thought I would come share! Not too much else exciting going on here. The nausea is starting so I also pulled out the seabands today!
I will be around lurking and rooting for you guys!

Hi, GKU!!
I'm 17w today. I had another anxious PAIF/PgAL weekend, but acupuncture relaxed me yesterday and am once again on the zen side of pregnancy right now. I have an OB appointment on Thursday, so I'm hoping we'll get to see the little nugget. In other news, my husband and I decided we were no longer Team Green and wanted to find out the sex of BabyWaffles. After searching endlessly for my M21 results on my online portal to no avail, my nurse happily announced to us that we are expecting a BABY BOY!!
Sending love to you all, and of course, lurking as always.

@led, whine away. That kind of pain sounds terrible & sending my thoughts and prayers that it eases up. I hope the doctors can help you with it and that the side effects will be gentle on you.

Hugs @led and @ismellbooks.
I'm 16 weeks tomorrow. Apparently the girls are not quite human. According to H they look like Alien vs. Predator.
C section is scheduled for June 15th unless they decide to try and come earlier. It's nice to have an end date on the books and crazy that it's less than 5 months away. Time is flying. Still chugging along and not-so-lurking on you guys all the time.

MH also agrees. And was able to accurately identify which baby is which lol is Fin alien or Evie? They are the cutest AVPs ever though lol

Baby is still on the quieter side. I had an appointment today and the doctor wound up having me do a nst which started out slow but the nurse buzzed the baby (with one of those hand held massage things) and that made the baby give some better movements. Still though this baby constantly causes me to worry with it's quietness.
I had a ton of pelvic pressure over the weekend, and again last night. I have felt kind of worthless lately because I Just don't have much energy at all. I keep up with the chores but that's about it. No nesting really yet.
Pretty much everything is set for the baby other than moving dd's carseat and installing the bases for the infant one. H was supposed to do that last weekend but he didn't.
Other than that not much is really going on over here. Just playing the waiting game.

Hi everyone! I had another ultrasound today and baby is doing great! He's happy in there. I'm glad because I've had my moments. I'm uncomfortably swelling, having nightly charlie horses, and I'm very constipated. I've been trying every remedy. There is a mom on my bmb who suggested pickle juice for the leg cramps so I'm going to give that a try. Anything for a full nights sleep without having to bolt out of bed and needing to walk it off.
Other than that I have 13 weeks left! Other ladies are nesting and getting their nurseries ready and I'm napping, laying around and napping some more. I can't seem to get my ass in gear.
Here's a pic of my little guy we had taken today at 26w4d. Hope you can see his smile.
