1. How far along are you this week? 36 weeks, 4 days
2. Any pregnancy related vents, randoms, AWs, questions? Can't believe I am going to be full term by the end of this week. I was nervous about labor/ delivery about a month ago...now that I am getting closer I dont have any nervous feelings at all. (I am sure this will change when my water breaks/ contractions start, I'll prob totally freak. LOL)
3. What is your favorite baby thing you've bought/received so far? If nothing yet, what are you looking florward to getting? Too hard to choose!! I love all the little outfits, I love my baby bag, and I love our crib.
4. Is anyone working this week? Are you traveling or staying home? I'm working today, then off for the week. We are staying local, both of our families live within 30min from us. I have always been a HUGE Christmas person, I love the holidays...but this year I just want it over, beacsue I am more excited for AFTER christmas when we have the biggest gift yet arriving. These 3 1/2 weeks left can't go by fast enough.
1. How far along are you this week? 8w3d 2. Any pregnancy related vents, randoms, AWs, questions? Telling family Christmas Eve/day! A little earlier than I normally would, but everyone will be together, and we've seen the heartbeat, so I'm optimistic. 3. What is your favorite baby thing you've bought/received so far? If nothing yet, what are you looking florward to getting? I haven't bought anything yet for this baby, but I'm excited to pull out baby clothes and gear that I haven't seen in a while. 4. Is anyone working this week? Are you traveling or staying home? I SAH with my son, but my H is off all this week! Woohoo!

1. How far along are you this week? 14 weeks tomorrow! And that seems so insane to me, the time is flying! It seems like last week when I was so nervous about making it out of the first tri. 2. Any pregnancy related vents, randoms, AWs, questions? I'll be telling the guys I work for today and the rest of my extended family on Christmas, so basically everyone should know by Christmas. I'm excited for everyone to know now! 3. What is your favorite baby thing you've bought/received so far? If nothing yet, what are you looking florward to getting? I haven't bought or received anything yet, but I think I'm most looking forward to putting together the nursery. I probably won't go crazy with clothes because we aren't finding out the gender. 4. Is anyone working this week? Are you traveling or staying home? I only have half a day off on Christmas Eve and Christmas off, otherwise I'm here this week. Our families are both within 30 minutes of us, so not too much traveling.
1. How far along are you this week? 27 weeks, 2 days 2. Any pregnancy related vents, randoms, AWs, questions? Officially third tri tomorrow! Equal parts excited and terrified. 3. What is your favorite baby thing you've bought/received so far? If nothing yet, what are you looking forward to getting? My mom got us our pack and play for Christmas, FIL got this really cute book about the baby lions at our zoo that I'm obsessed with, and I just splurged on the cutest hamper for the nursery last night. Not to mention all the clothes! 4. Is anyone working this week? Are you traveling or staying home? I'm working today and Friday..really wishing I weren't here today! We are going out of town Thursday, but it's only three hours away, otherwise we will be home. My mom, stepdad, and brother are traveling here, which will be nice!
1. How far along are you this week? 16 weeks, 4 days
2. Any pregnancy related vents, randoms, AWs, questions? LOVING the second tri. I'm also kind of showing, depending on what I wear. I got my first "Are you...?" question at work on Friday.
3. What is your favorite baby thing you've bought/received so far? If nothing yet, what are you looking florward to getting? This was something for me, not the baby, but it was baby related. My BFF for my birthday gave me a bracelet that says "Miracle." Cue the waterworks.
4. Is anyone working this week? Are you traveling or staying home? Working today and tomorrow in the office and then working remotely on Thursday and Friday.

1. 5 weeks! 2. I know it's early, but we'll be telling our families over christmas. We're telling my parents on christmas day and then the inlaws on new years (that's when we'll see them to do presents and stuff). I'm excited and terrified to tell them. It doesn't even feel real yet. 3. Nothing yet, lol. We've got a long way to go to acquire everything we need. 4. I'm working from home this week, but honestly, I'm not going to get too much done.

1. How far along are you this week? 15w,3d 2. Any pregnancy related vents, randoms, AWs, questions? Second tri has been much better than the first when it comes to sleep and just feeling blah - it's nice to actually do stuff on the weekends instead of laying on the couch for hours. Now if the constant congestion would just get better! 3. What is your favorite baby thing you've bought/received so far? If nothing yet, what are you looking florward to getting? Haven't bought anything yet (we are hopefully finding out the gender on Sunday, then I'll start planning the nursery and clothing), but my brother and SIL gave us a picture frame for a sonogram picture last night for Christmas that has different sayings you can put beneath the picture like "coming soon" - it made me feel all warm and gooey inside. 4. Is anyone working this week? Are you traveling or staying home? I'm working today, working a half day Christmas Eve, no work Christmas, then full work days Thursday and Friday. I'm off Saturday through Jan 2, plus it's quiet at work this week, so I don't mind. Christmas will just be me, H, the dogs, in our pjs and eating and watching movies - I can't wait!

1. 24 weeks on Thursday 2. I saw the baby kicking from the outside last night while playing music. It was pretty incredible! 3. I purchased a couple cute pieces of clothing and my husband got a really neat artsy Little Mermaid print for her room. 4. I'm off until the 2nd! Hooray! We only have to travel 20 minutes to see both sides for Christmas.
1. How far along are you this week? 28 weeks 2. Any pregnancy related vents, randoms, AWs, questions? Sleep is getting to be a pain. Our family is looking forward to feeling baby kicks. Thankfully baby J is very active. 3. What is your favorite baby thing you've bought/received so far? If nothing yet, what are you looking florward to getting? My mom bought him a tummy time football/teddy bear pillow. It is the softest thing ever. Also my MIL crocheted him a blanket when she was recovering from heart surgery. Both top favorites so far. 4. Is anyone working this week? Are you traveling or staying home? Working every day! Even Christmas!

1. How far along are you this week? 40 weeks on Wednesday! 2. Any pregnancy related vents, randoms, AWs, questions? I'm not going to be a broken record, but the fact I'm still pregnant is really annoying me! 3. What is your favorite baby thing you've bought/received so far? If nothing yet, what are you looking florward to getting? This is really hard as we have bought and recieved so many nice things. I think my favorite right now is the hot air balloon decoration that DH bought me for my birthday that sarted off the entire theme of the nursery (which I really need to post pictures of)! 4. Is anyone working this week? Are you traveling or staying home? I'm off Christmas eve through the day after Christmas and working from home the rest of the time, which kinda sucks as my whole family is here today. I really wish I was on maternity leave by now... ::looks at belly::
1. How far along are you this week? I'll be 36 weeks on Wednesday, time is flying by!
2. Any pregnancy related vents, randoms, AWs, questions? I am SO uncomfortable. I can't sleep, it hurts to walk, my hips hurt so bad when I lay down. We are getting a new bed delivered tomorrow, hopefully this helps alleviate some of the pain!
3. What is your favorite baby thing you've bought/received so far? If nothing yet, what are you looking forward to getting? I haven't bought any clothes in a little while, but I love some of the tiny outfits I have.
4. Is anyone working this week? Are you traveling or staying home? The only day I have off is Christmas day, same for DH. We'll be seeing both his family and mine that day, so it will be busy!
1. 31w2d 2. I feel like I am getting huge. I can't see my feet anymore; putting on socks and shoes sucks. I know I will only get bigger form here but it's hard to wrap my head around it! 3. For some reason the baby towels with the little triangle hoods kill me. And the hats with ears on them. OMG. 4. We are OOT this week staying at my mom's house. DH is working though (his company has a branch here) and I'm trying to get some shit done today too. Tomorrow we'll spend with my dad's family and Wednesday with my mom's and then back home on Thursday.
2. Any pregnancy related vents, randoms, AWs, questions? I had my first u/s last week! We heard the heartbeat. I'm on vacation with my mom and sisters and told them about the pregnancy. We will tell the ILs on Christmas. My questions are pretty much covered in my "genetic screening" post below. Thanks for the input, y'all!
3. What is your favorite baby thing you've bought/received so far? If nothing yet, what are you looking florward to getting? God, I have no idea. I can't even wrap my mind around all the baby stuff that's out there!
4. Is anyone working this week? Are you traveling or staying home? I'm off until 1/14 (woo college schedule!) I'm flying home from Vegas today and spending Christmas at home with H and ILs.
1. How far along are you this week? 12w2d 2. Any pregnancy related vents, randoms, AWs, questions? Not really. Feeling great, but starting to look/feel chunky. 3. What is your favorite baby thing you've bought/received so far? If nothing yet, what are you looking florward to getting? I can't wait to start a collection of baby/kid books. We have a few already. 4. Is anyone working this week? Are you traveling or staying home? I am working Mon, Thurs, Fri. We are not traveling, and don't plan to ever do so if we can avoid it.
1. How far along are you this week? Almost 12 weeks (on Christmas!)
2. Any pregnancy related vents, randoms, AWs, questions? I finally threw up from m/s last Friday and I've felt so much better since then. I would have puked earlier if I had known it would make me feel human again. Other than that, I announced to my girlfriends this week and shocked them all. My BFF has talked a lot about TTC and I really wanted to be sensitive to that.
3. What is your favorite baby thing you've bought/received so far? If nothing yet, what are you looking forward to getting? The only thing we've bought are sonogram picture frames for our parents.
4. Is anyone working this week? Are you traveling or staying home? I'm working today and most of next week. It's just the two of us for Christmas this year, which is a present to each other.
1. How far along are you this week? 11w6d 2. Any pregnancy related vents, randoms, AWs, questions? I'm telling family tomorrow night but I had a dream last night that they weren't very excited about it so now I'm not that excited about telling. I know it's just a dream but now I'm wondering if they'll be as excited as I originally thought. 3. What is your favorite baby thing you've bought/received so far? If nothing yet, what are you looking florward to getting? Haven't bought much yet but I got an alphabet poster the other day that is cute. I wouldn't have gotten it but zazzle keeps sending me $10 coupons so it was only a few dollars. 4. Is anyone working this week? Are you traveling or staying home? I go back to work Thursday, I'll only be at my parents' house a day. It gets boring there.

1. 34 weeks exactly!
2. Random - last night, my friends gave me a mommy spa day package for my birthday! Exactly what I've been wanting this whole time. I can't wait to redeem it - it's a pregnancy massage & mani/pedi.
3. I love the clothes! My favorites are "Thing 1" and "Thing 2" onesies and these cute footed PJs with raccoons on them. So cute!
4. Definitely no traveling this week and I'm on mat leave! My parents and my ILs live within 15 minutes of us, so Christmas Eve and Day "traveling" will be minimal

1. How far along are you this week? 37.5 week 2. Any pregnancy related vents, randoms, AWs, questions? We FINALLY finished the nursery this morning (we'd been holding off on the mattress since it isn't necessary when we first bring the baby home) so we're officially ready for the baby to come home. Now to finish packing the hospital bag... 3. What is your favorite baby thing you've bought/received so far? If nothing yet, what are you looking florward to getting? Definitely the mural my dad did on the nursery walls, it's AWESOME!!!! 4. Is anyone working this week? I "work" today and Thursday, the office is closed tomorrow and Wednesday, and I'm taking Friday off. I'm working from home and am one of a few people working today, so I'm doing what I can but it's pretty slow.

1. 35 weeks, 1 day
2. I'm starting to get a little more uncomfortable. Also, I was on my feet a lot this weekend and traveled 4+hours to and from my folks' house. My legs are swollen, back hurts, etc. Other areas are swollen too
3. Some of the clothes are so cute!
4. Not working, I took the week off and so did DH. Our last week off together to lounge, probably for ~20 years.

1. How far along are you this week? 5w4d 2. Any pregnancy related vents, randoms, AWs, questions? The constant nausea has started - whee! Although I can seem to control it so far with staying hydrated and eating more protein. 3. What is your favorite baby thing you've bought/received so far? If nothing yet, what are you looking florward to getting? Nothing new for this baby yet - we're waiting until a) this pregnancy is considered viable, and b) we move into our new house (when we find it). Still have a bunch of DD's baby stuff, so we're in no real hurry. 4. Is anyone working this week? Are you traveling or staying home? I have to work the 26th and 27th, but I bet you anything they'll be slow days. Headed to my brother's house for Christmas Eve, and staying home for Christmas Day. Then off to IL's house for the weekend after.
2. Any pregnancy related vents, randoms, AWs, questions?
Nothing really new this week - we did pick a name for the baby so that's a relief (we haven't been agreeing at all)
3. What is your favorite baby thing you've bought/received so far? If nothing yet, what are you looking florward to getting?
I need DH to bring in DS1's baby stuff from storage so I can know what we still have, but I did pick out a new carseat that my mom is getting us for Christmas, so at least we've gotten something!
4. Is anyone working this week? Are you traveling or staying home?
I'm working from home today some and DH works today and a 1/2 day tomorrow - but we stay in town
1. I am 15 weeks, 5 days. 2. Told my boss on Friday, so I guess i am officially out to the world. I feel huge already and everyone is shocked that my boss didn't notice on his own. lol 3. We haven't bought/done anything yet. Without history, we will be waiting until our 20 week ultrasound/24 week fetal echocardiogram. 4. Staying home! We don't travel at christmas. Working today, Thurs and Fri though. Womp womp.
1. How far along are you this week? 9 weeks, 5 days
2. Any pregnancy related vents, randoms, AWs, questions? just random, I took my first pregnant nap yesterday. I was just exhausted and almost passed out on the couch. Also had my first OB appointment last week and got to see the heartbeat again!
3. What is your favorite baby thing you've bought/received so far? If nothing yet, what are you looking forward to getting? I got the classic A.A. Milne children's series for the baby for Christmas.
