[teeah22]

1. How many weeks are you?  13

2. Boy/girl? Name?  We have an elective ultrasound scheduled in a week and a half to hopefully find out!  Literally everyone, including myself, is convinced it's a girl.  We'll see...

3. How are you feeling?  Better!

4. Nursery plans or PIPs?  I have a few ideas but I'm waiting to find out the sex.  The room we'll be using is a really great size though, unlike my last nursery

5. PIP the bump!  Ha maybe when it's more baby than fat, give me a couple weeks

6. What sucks at the moment, if anything?  I'm still super tired.  And I'm at that stage where it's hard to tell if I'm pregnant or just fat

7. What is awesome right now, if anything?  The nausea is gone!

[simpsongal]

1. 37 weeks, 3 days!

2. It's a boy, we're waiting to announce his name

3. Feeling pretty good. Have some energy now. I get some painful contractions and leg pain once in a while. Back pain too. But it's all bearable.

4. I'll post my nursery soon! (Tonight or tomorrow)

5. Let me do the nursery first

6. What's Awesome? I'm so close to having a baby! It' crazy, in a way I can't wait. In another way, I want at least 2 more weeks to get stuff done.

1. 21 weeks
2. Girl.  The name is probably Juliana Irene.  We didn't really talk about it much but we both like the first name and any other name we toss out we decide we don't like as much as Juliana.  Irene is for H's Grandma and it seems to flow well all together.
3.  I'm feeling really good for a pregnant.
4. I painted the nursery with creamy walls and a pink ceiling.  I can post more another time.

5. 
6. We're way behind on the kitchen project.  There's been so much extra work and details and things that we've had to learn.  H is still working on it himself so progress is slow.  I can't vent with him about it because I know he's freaked out about the baby coming too.  It's not really bad since we have the temporary kitchen set up, but I'm just so over it and I really wish we could just enjoy having these last couple months with things done.
7.  mrs.jacinthe is awesome for always checking in and asking how we are all doing.  I love this whole board.

1. How many weeks are you?  28 
2. Boy/girl? Name?  Boy, still working names
3. How are you feeling?  I'm feeling pretty good
4. Nursery plans or PIPs? The nursery is painted (greige thank you to all that helped) and I'm working on a collage for over the crib and hoping to complete that and hang some potential curtains this weekend
5. PIP the bump!
6. What sucks at the moment, if anything? I am feeling so much better this pregnancy so I'm trying not to complain
7. What is awesome right now, if anything? I have gained way less than I did with DD and it is making a world of difference in my aches and pains so I think that is awesome

1. How many weeks are you? 34 and some change.
2. Boy/girl?  Name? Team Green. Joanna Amy, Amy Joanna, Amy Margaret, Keaton David, Ryan David this week. We have no definites yet. Be prepared for an entirely never mentioned name on my kid 6 weeks from now..ha.
3. How are you feeling? Pretty good.
4. Nursery plans or PIPs? I took some to share the other day, but they're not good. Which is sad. I think it's cute IRL. I'll try again.
5. PIP the bump! Oh hell no! I've had 3 people tell me I look like a giant basketball today alone.
6. What sucks at the moment, if anything? I hurt all over and baby must've dropped because bending over sucks.
7. What is awesome right now, if anything? My older kid is all of a sudden into babies. She learned to dress herself and is getting more independent lately. It's been great and I feel more confident I'll survive two.

[heygrey]

1. ~33 weeks! 
2. Boy - Rhys William Cooper Lastname. (we told MIL and she was all "wow! what a long name!" ummm, mom? you have three boys and all of them have longer names. the two middle name thing is your tradition. at least we gave our kid a one syllable first name!) 
3. ready to be done. i haven't had a difficult pregnancy at all, i'm just ready to move on to the next phase. 
4. oh gosh. we have studs! and roughed in electrical! and boards drying for the walls! but i seriously, seriously doubt it will be finished before he arrives. i have little faith in my landlords or the contractors they hire to get anything accomplished in a timely manner. i want to be super pissed about it, but i knew in July that this is the exact situation we'd find ourselves in... if h and i really cared we should have found a different place to rent months ago. 
6. the current, disastrous state of our apartment :-) 
7. we're seriously so close to the end. also all the kicks and rolls. i love feeling him move even if it's slightly uncomfortable at times. and his hiccups. so cute. 
5. that vpl is a little bonus for you ;-)

[magdala]

1. How many weeks are you? 14 weeks
2. Boy/girl? Name? Don't know yet
3. How are you feeling? tired.
4. Nursery plans or PIPs? DH is being superstitious. I want a light blue or green nursery with a animal prints.
5. PIP the bump! I don't have one yet.
6. What sucks at the moment, if anything? Pregnancy rhinitis. I don't have traditional morning sickness...I have this nasal drip that sounds like I have a bad cold. Since I am pregnant, I can't take the medication that would kick out the cold. I am treating the symptoms with Sudafed and saline spray but it is not kicking out the rhinitis.
7. What is awesome right now, if anything? DH waiting on me is quite nice.

vpl = visible panty line :-) 

Rhys is exactly like Reese. Rhys is the traditional welsh spelling and is considered a boy name, while Reese is more gender neutral. i have a feeling we'll correct a people a few times from Rice or Rise though since it's not super common. 

we're doing plank walls in the nursery, mostly because they cost pennies compared to drywall. our landlord is heir to the mill that produces them and h is actually the one that makes/processes them :-) they get a sweet employee discount. the boards have to sit in the room for 2-3 weeks to acclimate just like you would with hardwood flooring. don't want to put them up and have shrinking or warping due to humidity levels. jury is still out on whether or not i'll actually like the walls or the room in general. i voted for horizontal planks with a white wash. landlord is leaning towards vertical with a clear coat, so more of a traditional pine cabin look. since it's his house and he's paying, he'll win and i'll make the most of it :-) 

[heygrey]

nursecramer - love that beadboard! i have a huge love for horizontal plank walls, but landlord keeps reminding me that they have to be vacuumed since the groves get dusty. and we live in a freaking dust bowl so it would be an issue. also, we'll likely only live in this apartment for another 18-24 months so my opinions on things that permanent shouldn't be considered. landlord has to live here forever and they won't have tenants after us so it's important that any updates they do for our suite now are things they will still like long term.

as for themes - i'm tentatively planning something lake cabin-esque since it incorporates the pine walls well. but i'm kind of losing steam on decor in this place. i'm happy with all our little things and i don't want to make any big investments since it is so temporary. also, i'm just freaking tired right now and have no energy left after work to care about the house more than cleaning up a bit. i'm hoping i have more time/energy/motivation to do h&g type stuff when i'm done working. simpsongal i am not ;-)
