Where are you in your cycle/how long have you been TTGKTFU? Any signs/symptoms? When was your last BCBC? Were you fertile? Are you doing anything 'extra' to get KTFU? Green tea, OPKs, charting?
Let's see those pictures! (yes, TTGKTFU ladies have pictures too. we do like to see your pretty faces and your furbabies, etc).

Okay, fine, since no one else wants to go...
KTFU Mommas:
How many weeks? 9w6d - I can't believe I'll be 10 weeks tomorrow! How are you feeling? Gross. Tired, barfy, sore... the nausea is pretty okay until the evening, when it really hits. I generally have cereal for dinner these days. Anything new and/or exciting? I got to play with the ultrasound machine we have here at work on Friday and got to see my peanut and the heartbeat. Baby was moving around and everything! When was your last appointment? Next appointment? Next appointment is our NT scan on Wednesday next week. I can't wait to see peanut again! What baby item are you most looking forward to buying/receiving? We already have one - an Ergo carrier. But I think buying some new teeny baby clothes will be super fun.

How old is LO? 2yr4mo What's new and/or exciting lately? She is so funny. Just loves doing things to make us laugh (ie she points out letters incorrectly to get a reaction out of me), she wants me to make up songs for her, and her new favorite game is Hide and Seek. Why is being a mom stressful this week? It's hard for me to stay awake in the evenings these days, and when I get home, I feel super nauseated and I just want to lay in bed. This makes it hard to spend time with her when I haven't seen her all day. Why is being a mom worth it this week? I was teaching her to say "I love you" last night with the 'love' in it, since she says it like "I-you" right now. I could get her to repeat all the words, "I, lub, you", she would say. But couldn't say "I lub you" all together without my prompting. SO CUTE. Why is your kid crying these days? Any time something doesn't go her way. How are you dealing with the cold weather and keeping LO entertained? We color, use fingerpaints, use water colors, make forts, I have her help me do chores (she LOVES this), and I bake and she helps me by pouring scoops of stuff into the bowl and stirring. She loves to stir!

How old is LO? 21 weeks, 5 months on the 28th! What's new and/or exciting lately? His giggles. Not really a *new* thing but it gets better and better every day. Hes starting to grab for his bottle now too. Why is being a mom stressful this week? I am trying to work on getting a promotion, and starting next month my schedule will make it so we need to find someone to watch Isaiah in the mornings, only from about 7:30 to 9:00, over lap from when I leave for work until my H gets home from work. Why is being a mom worth it this week? His smiles! There is NOTHING better than a long day at work, to come home to him smiling and his face lighting up when I walk in the door! Why is your kid crying these days? Because I don't get his bottle ready in time. How are you dealing with the cold weather and keeping LO entertained? We bundle him up good when we go to the park with the dogs, otherwise we are just staying as active as we can inside.
How old is LO? Boy is 3 months today! Bjl is 23 months....not as thrilled about this one..... What's new and/or exciting lately? Not a whole lot is new and exciting... Why is being a mom stressful this week? Bjl's burn on her arm needs to be covered from sub exposure to prevent scarring, kinda hard to do in Hawaii Why is being a mom worth it this week? Bjl looooooooves the water, even seeing it out the car window has been making her happy Why is your kid crying these days? Over tired. Long days while on vacay. How are you dealing with the cold weather and keeping LO entertained? It's HOT!!! Dunno what you're talking about

How old is LO? 2 years old What's new and/or exciting lately? She's doing better at listening and hardly tantrums so that's great! And now all of the sudden she LOVES stuffed animals in the crib....like 9....its getting out of hand Why is being a mom stressful this week? well, as a mom to my cat its been awful. He stopped eating and wasn't himself at all so took him to my uncle (a vet) and had to stay overnight and have xrays and a procedure. Just got him home so hoping he's back to normal ASAP! Why is being a mom worth it this week? She's pretty funny with her imitations. She makes the funniest expressions. Why is your kid crying these days? if shes being whiney or overtired How are you dealing with the cold weather and keeping LO entertained? Shes started gymnastics a couple weeks ago. Lots of coloring. Going next week to get a membership to children's museum
How many weeks? 18w 4d...Holy shit almost half way!
How are you feeling? Still like crap. I've started going to the gym daily and training for my half marathon in hopes that I will feel better. Not working.
Anything new and/or exciting? I can feel the baby move a lot now and it's not just flutters. More like bumps. Someone is trying to go beast mode in there!
When was your last appointment? Next appointment? Christmas, big ultrasound is next Friday!
What baby item are you most looking forward to buying/receiving? My whole family, on both sides, are making a quilt. Even my grandpas are adding to it. It is going to be quite an interesting quilt and I am so excited to see the final product.
How many weeks? 11 weeks 4 days How are you feeling? Slightly better -- had food poisoning on Monday night so definitely less nauseous than that. And I've been going to bed earlier the last few days (like 8-9pm) so I feel a little more well rested. Anything new and/or exciting? NT scan is scheduled for 1/30! When was your last appointment? Next appointment? Last appointment was on Monday and there's a baby in there! We saw baby moving around and saw a heartbeat (though the midwife didn't measure it). Her guess was 10.5 weeks which is exactly what I was thinking, though they're going with my LMP date which puts me at 11 weeks 4 days today. What baby item are you most looking forward to buying/receiving? I can't wait to paint the ugly brick red accent wall in the guest room a different color. Doubtful that baby will sleep in there for years, but I still want to decorate the room . I also want a second baby carrier since our Ergo has gotten (and sometimes still gets) so much use.

How old is LO? 21 months What's new and/or exciting lately? Lots of sentences and her growing sense of humor. Yesterday she told me that she was an owl, then started laughing hysterically at the idea. I love listening to her babble to herself when she first wakes up in the morning and occasionally as she's falling asleep. Why is being a mom stressful this week? Running late with a toddler is so frustrating since "hurry" isn't a concept she understands. Why is being a mom worth it this week? Lots of hugs and kisses, and her wanting to sit on my lap and just cuddle. Why is your kid crying these days? She didn't want to go back in her car seat and Mama made her anyway. How are you dealing with the cold weather and keeping LO entertained? Trains and play-doh and her stuffed animals, our local children's museum and indoor pool, and just bundling up and going to the play ground.
How old is LO? 5.5 months, 4 months adjusted age What's new and/or exciting lately? GIGGLES! Why is being a mom stressful this week? TERRIBLE TERRIBLE SLEEP AWFUL HORRIBLE. I got 3 hrs of sleep last night and had a 10 hr work day plus another hour and a half or so of commuting plus PEPS tonight. I'm TIRED. Why is being a mom worth it this week? The giggling and cuddles Why is your kid crying these days? I dont know. Boredom? How are you dealing with the cold weather and keeping LO entertained? Jumping around in front of him making a fool out of myself so I can get him to laugh. OH and a PEPS person recommended this to me. It was SO FUN for him...it's called a Swimava - basically an inner tube goes around their neck (somewhat loosely). Don't worry, it sounds odd, but it fit around my neck and he was totally fine with it. In fact he loved it. He floated, kicked, splashed. So fun! Apparently it is popular in Europe.
