1. How far along are you? Any milestones this week? 10W5D - we got to hear the heartbeat yesterday at our first OB appointment.
2. News/AWs/vents to share? I told my best friend after hearing the heartbeat, it was incredibly nerve racking to do! She wants kids so bad, but her H is still in school so they're waiting. I wasn't sure if she'd be sad or happy, but she took it well (at least over Skype from what I could tell!). We're telling all of our family on Christmas Eve.
3. QOTW - If you could give one gift to every pregnant woman, what would it be? Someone to come in and do a deep clean of the house. That's totally what I want before the little one comes. I'm great at keeping things picked up and am very organized, but I HATE deep cleaning and would love for someone else to do the work for me.

1. Almost 16 weeks!
2. I am impatient this week. I really want to feel movement (I felt it at 14.5 with #1) but nadaa yet. I really want to know gender and wish I knew by Christmas. i would honestly spend the $60 (yes I priced it) to go to one of those U/S viewing places if I thought I could get an accurate gender result before Christmas, but I've convinced myself out of it since I'd rather not know then them get it wrong! But if I don't know before Christmas...I think I am feel fine waiting the few more weeks until I am 20 weeks. I am aware this makes no logical sense.
3. Since my cleaning lady just came (only monthly) I am going to second glitzy07 on this one!

Non pregnant checking in - you should totally do this. I had DS a little early, and when we got home, the house wasn't what I would consider "company ready." DH and MIL cleaned so that I wouldn't stress. Definitely get your house deep cleaned by a professional before you have the baby!

1. How far along are you? Any milestones this week? 13w3d or 14w, depending on which dr. you ask. No milestones other than I'm wearing maternity clothes for the first time today.
2. News/AWs/vents to share? At my OB appt this week, they tried to find the heartbeat on doppler, and couldn't find it. They had to move me to another room for an u/s, and I had to wait for the dr. to come in. Longest two minutes of my life waiting to see 3.0 on the screen, but all is well.
3. QOTW - If you could give one gift to every pregnant woman, what would it be? No m/s for sure. That would make everything better.
2. Had an internal this week and I am 3 cm dilated, 50% effaced, and baby is at -2. I know things could stay this way for weeks still, but it's nice to know that if I do eventually have to be induced, I'm not starting from zero!
3. The cleaning service suggestion is a good one - we hired one in Oct. and it's been a life saver! Since that has already been taken though, I will go with personal chef. Even standing at the stove for a few minutes wears me out these days.
1. How far along are you? Any milestones this week? 14ish weeks. Got an unexpected ultrasound on Tuesday so it was nice to see Gizmo.
2. News/AWs/vents to share? More spotting this morning. I'm not going to call unless it gets heavier. I guess this is just going to heep happening until the hematoma is gone. Sigh.
3. QOTW - If you could give one gift to every pregnant woman, what would it be? More time in the day so she can get everything done and still have time to sleep 12 hours.

1. How far along are you? Any milestones this week? 13w4d.....my due date will probably end up getting pushed back since baby is measuring about a week behind that but for now I'm just sticking with things as they've been from the start
2. News/AWs/vents to share? Already shared in my test results thread
3. QOTW - If you could give one gift to every pregnant woman, what would it be? I'll be all cliche and say a healthy baby with nothing to worry about!

1. How far along are you? Any milestones this week? 14 weeks. We are out at work! It was fun telling everyone yesterday. 2. News/AWs/vents to share? We are moving this weekend and I'm not looking forward to it. Plus the weather might be crappy. H is being a grinch about moving even though it will save us a lot of money.
3. QOTW - If you could give one gift to every pregnant woman, what would it be? A Snoogle!
2. Our NT scan was great and everything looks normal. It was amazing to see an actual little BABY in there, wiggling around and sticking his/her foot up in the air!
3. Either a house cleaning service or a personal chef
1. How far along are you? Any milestones this week? 16w 6d
2. News/AWs/vents to share? I can't say for sure I've felt the baby. With DD, it was 20+wks but I rarely felt her. I was always worried how she was doing. But she was perfectly healthy. I have no idea why I rarely felt her movements. It looks like this baby will be the same too.
3. QOTW - If you could give one gift to every pregnant woman, what would it be? A night nurse for when the baby comes. ;D
1. How far along are you? Any milestones this week?
8 weeks.
2. News/AWs/vents to share?
I am so bloated that I cannot button my pants. I am not sure that I should already need to wear the Belly Band thing!
3. QOTW - If you could give one gift to every pregnant woman, what would it be?
A nap. I would run around as a nap fairy granting them to all of us!
rikki - the bloat is always really bad around 7/8 weeks. I always felt like I needed maternity pants around that time. It will settle down a bit soon but I always used the Belly Band that early!
1. How far along are you? Any milestones this week?7w4d, nope just a normal week
2. News/AWs/vents to share?telling our families on Christmas, can't wait! I'm annoyed that I'm gaining weight so soon. It's sad, all my clothes are tighter due to my huge boobs.
3. QOTW - If you could give one gift to every pregnant woman, what would it be? A new wardrobe, it sucks being huge and not liking the clothes you're wearing.
1. 32 weeks 2. My shower is next weekend and I have started getting presents. Its so much fun and everything is so cute. 3. A supportive husband who lies when you ask him if your boobs are uneven and says they look great. I read about these horrible husbands on the baby sites and am thankful for mine.
1. 22 weeks 1 day 2. I've passed the week (22) I found out I was 4cm dilated during my last pregnancy. I had a doctor's appointment yesterday and my cervix is still going strong, thankfully and i'm praying we get to full term! 3. A housecleaner/nanny/chef

1. How far along are you? Any milestones this week? 36w4d. Had our final baby class last night.
2. News/AWs/vents to share? Turned down the cervical exam yesterday. I don't wanna know yet. This baby has to stay in until my OB comes back from vacation on 1/1!
3. QOTW - If you could give one gift to every pregnant woman, what would it be? A nausea/morning sickness-free pregnancy!
1. How far along are you? Any milestones this week? about 4.5 weeks
2. News/AWs/vents to share? I got a BFP on Monday (right after DD's birthday) and my first beta on Wed. My second beta was this morning, but I won't get the results back until tomorrow. I'm sure everything's fine, but I'll feel much better after I hear from the doctor's office.
3. QOTW - If you could give one gift to every pregnant woman, what would it be? a magic pill to lose all the baby weight and a muzzle for Giselle Bundchen
1. How far along are you? Any milestones this week? 23w 2d
2. News/AWs/vents to share? I posted about a great follow up US and the doc relieving some of our hydrocephalus concerns. Also, the last two weeks have been great for me in regards to nausea. It's like someone flipped a switch at 21 weeks! My husband got to feel the baby kick. He was so happy that I wanted to cry - apparently I am a sap these days.
3. QOTW - If you could give one gift to every pregnant woman, what would it be? Without question it would be a maid.
