1. How far along are you this week? 2. Any randoms, vents, AWs this week? 3. We haven't done this in a while- are you having a boy, girl, or are you Team Green? If you are still early on, will you find out? Any names picked out? 4. If you have a weekend day with no plans, what's your favorite thing to do?
1. 35 weeks, 2 days 2. We got a lot done in baby's nursery this weekend, and I'm having my second shower Saturday-so excited! Shit's getting real fast. 3. We are having a boy, his name will be Noah. 4. In the summer, go boating at my IL's- can't wait to take LO out this year. For a lazy day, watch sports and read.
I'm SICK! I've had a cold for 10 days now, and I've been coughing something fierce for about 5. I have a call in to the OB to see if there's anything more to do for it, if I should see my family doctor, or if I just need to tough it out.
BOY! Name is picked (we think), but we've waffled a lot.. and we're not sharing until he's born.
Just read, take baths, play games with H.. just chill!
Poor thing! Hope they give you something to help you feel better.

1. How far along are you this week? 22 weeks 2. Any randoms, vents, AWs this week? My husband surprised me with a sun canopy/tent thing for taking the baby to the beach. I'll be on maternity leave during the summer and LOVE going to the beach and plan on going with the kiddo as much as possible. It was so sweet of him to think of that (heart) 3. We haven't done this in a while- are you having a boy, girl, or are you Team Green? If you are still early on, will you find out? Any names picked out? Team Green! We have names picked out but won't share until the baby is born. However, we'll probably never reveal the opposite name because it'll likely be used for the next child of that sex. 4. If you have a weekend day with no plans, what's your favorite thing to do? Assuming our house is clean, in the winter I just like to veg on the couch and watch TV or waste time online. If it's the summer, something outdoors, like going for a bike ride or heading to the beach.

2) we started registering over the weekend. I also have a cold so am glad to be off work today
3) we are having a girl!! We are in the thick of the naming process right now.
4) I like a mix of activities. Sleep in as much as I can, hang out with DH, go to lunch/movie, see friends later on

Hi! I've been lurking from MMM since my BFP two weeks ago and thought I'd finally jump in!
1. How far along are you this week? 6 weeks today with baby #2. I also have a 21mo son.
2. Any randoms, vents, AWs this week? Morning sickness is kicking my butt already. It's much harder to deal with when there's a toddler running around.
3. We haven't done this in a while- are you having a boy, girl, or are you Team Green? If you are still early on, will you find out? Any names picked out? Too early to know, obviously, but we'll definitely find out. Our names are likely Eleanor or Lincoln.
4. If you have a weekend day with no plans, what's your favorite thing to do? Head to the beach with DH and DS. There's a great bay park with no waves about a 30min drive from us that's perfect for toddlers.

1. I'm 33 and a half weeks. 2. I went to visit a friend this weekend who is done having kids and she gave me a whole bunch of baby stuff including a pretty substantial CD stash. We also spent a lot of time walking around at an outdoor festival and I am so sore today. 3. We're having a boy. Haven't decided on a name yet and probably won't until we meet him. 4. Waking up slowly with a cup of tea on the couch, going out for brunch with H and/or friends, getting some stuff done around the house, then games night with friends.

1. How far along are you this week?
3w6d
2. Any randoms, vents, AWs this week?
Nada
3. We haven't done this in a while- are you having a boy, girl, or are you Team Green? If you are still early on, will you find out? Any names picked out?
We were team green with our first. H is trying to convince me to find out this time.
4. If you have a weekend day with no plans, what's your favorite thing to do?
1. How far along are you this week? 37 weeks 2. Any randoms, vents, AWs this week? Finished taking our last class over the weekend. Baby essentials, which wasn't that useful as we've done a lot of reading that covered this stuff. 3. We haven't done this in a while- are you having a boy, girl, or are you Team Green? If you are still early on, will you find out? Any names picked out? Girl and we have a name yet (but have only told close family) 4. If you have a weekend day with no plans, what's your favorite thing to do? Relax and then go out for a good dinner
2. Any randoms, vents, AWs this week? Some of my friends at church were pointing out my bump yesterday. I DON'T HAVE A BUMP, THAT'S JUST HOW I NORMALLY LOOK. I feel like they think it's ok to point out that I'm fat now that I'm pregnant? I got really annoyed. If it makes any difference, it's a gay man and a single old lady, so I tried to give them a pass!
3. We haven't done this in a while- are you having a boy, girl, or are you Team Green? If you are still early on, will you find out? Any names picked out? Boy! We are thinking about Michael Robert (my dad's name and H's name, also his grandfather's). I have a zillion girl names picked out but have more trouble with boy names. When H mentioned this one, I immediately liked it, so we'll see if we think of anything else we prefer. We are big on family names and his family has a dearth of good names, and we certainly want to avoid anything trendy. (Common, e.g., Michael, is ok, but trendy, e.g., Mason, is not.)
4. If you have a weekend day with no plans, what's your favorite thing to do? BRUNCH. Brunch is my favorite thing. (heart) Then walking the dog to the park, then taking a nap.
2. Vents. In the past 6 weeks, I've had to get an emergency cerclage, cancel a trip to see my sister (who I haven't seen since getting pg), had instructions from dr to take it easy. And then last week, I went on actual bed rest (luckily modified and not full), had to do the ffn test, got 2 steroid shots and started progesterone. I really would just like to enjoy some of this pregnancy.
3. Boy. We have a name or two picked out, but haven't fully settled on anything yet
4. In a not pregnant state, go to hot springs in the winter or maybe stand up paddle boarding in the summer.
2. Any randoms, vents, AWs this week? In the 9 weeks of being pregnant (ok, I was not even pregnant for 2 of them) I have had: - Bleeding clots and cramping - Puked in a supermarket twice and once in a restaurant - I have puked so hard that I burst something in my throat, threw up blood and peed myself at the same time. - Have not slept for more than 4 hours at a time - Live in a cycle of no pooping for 3-4 days, have a day of constantly pooping followed by a day of puking 4-5 times, repeat - Have had a cold - Have a cold sore (on my left side of my lip) followed by mouth ulcers - Had my vision go out of focus in my left eye, then sat in a dark room and was completely loopy and then my left arm went dead. Went to A&E, they first thought I had a TIA (mini stroke) and then the doctor told me he suspects its the onset of MS. Go to the eye unit the next day and turns out its a migraine. That headache then takes me out for 4 days. - And now have conjunctivitis (in my left eye)
No doctor or pharmacist will give me any medication, and I stay freaking hungry all the time. Except I stay hungry for bread type food. I don't even like bread, I can't afford to gain the weight.
BUT, I am trying not to complain. I am just so thankful to be pregnant. I am not regretting any of this this time.
In the words of my darling husband - Pregnancy just does not suit me.
3. We haven't done this in a while- are you having a boy, girl, or are you Team Green? If you are still early on, will you find out? Any names picked out? We will be team green, we decided that this weekend. We have names picked out. They could change in the next 31 weeks, but for now we like them.
4. If you have a weekend day with no plans, what's your favorite thing to do? Go for laid back lunch and a wlk on the beach, followed by coming home and watching family movies.

1. 8w tomorrow
2. I have had a few days in a row of feeling decent. I've been able to eat sometimes (although last night I had a dinner roll for dinner. That's it.) Pretty constant upset stomach, but it's better than a week ago, so I'll take it.
3. We haven't discussed whether to find out. I have about 20 girl name ideas and 4 boy names.

1. How far along are you this week? 8 weeks 1 day today but per my dr. 8 weeks 3 days 2. Any randoms, vents, AWs this week? Still so sick and I have a train a class all week. I can't just hide in my cube and snack all day/whine 3. We haven't done this in a while- are you having a boy, girl, or are you Team Green? If you are still early on, will you find out? Any names picked out? We will find out but no names picked out yet. We haven't even really discussed it. 4. If you have a weekend day with no plans, what's your favorite thing to do? Right now, lay in bed and watch TV. I used to like to go for a long walk or hike.

1. 31w4d 2. I've reached the point where random people in public ask me how far along I am, etc. I obviously look pregnant but it's a good reassurance that I don't just look fat! We went to our first class this weekend on newborn care. My husband seemed bored. It was a bit dry but I found it helpful. 3. We are Team Pink! We have two names picked out but can't decide and will probably wait until she is born. Both names start with the letter J so we have a J hanging on her wall. When family is here this weekend for the nursery I'm sure they will ask and as much as I'd like to keep it quiet, I guess I'll share with them. 4. Naps! I love taking a long nap during the day!

Your doctor won't give you Zofran? Or are you talking about something other than nausea?
I am so sorry that you are going through all of this. I have felt like shit for the past three weeks--maybe the worst I've felt in my life--but it pales in comparison to your troubles!
rbp I am not sick everyday. Its only every few days. I had a puking day on Sunday so I know I am good at least until Wednesday. Although I did have an unexpected poop today so I might puke tomorrow. The doctors here don't like giving out medicine easily. 2 weeks ago my son had a temp of over 104 and tonsilliits. We saw the doc on Friday, they would only give him an antibiotic from the Monday if he had not improved.
Edit: I meant I went to the doctor never gave me anything for the migraine and the pharmacist would not sell me eye drops for the conjunctivitis because I am pregnant.
2. Any randoms, vents, AWs this week? not really. trying to pay attention more to see if i feel anything. i'm also in the weird mental space i get in right about in the middle of time between appointments. hearing the heartbeat at an appt reassures me and is great, but then i get all "what if something is going wrong in there and i don't know it?!?!" then it seems like SO LONG until the next appt and i go back and forth between 'everything is fine, stop worrying' and 'oh my god, something is terribly wrong and i have no idea'. it seems worse now that we've told lots of people because now added into my worries are having to explain this imaginary problem with the baby to what seems like the entire world.
3. We haven't done this in a while- are you having a boy, girl, or are you Team Green? If you are still early on, will you find out? Any names picked out? team green. anatomy scan in 2.5 weeks and plan to continue on with team green until july. we've got a solid boys name and had a top choice girl's name but now i'm not as sure about it. i'm just not positive i LOVE it, you know? will keep looking at lists but so far haven't found anything else we both like as much.
4. If you have a weekend day with no plans, what's your favorite thing to do? sleep in, then lay in bed on my phone or reading for a bit. coffee and breakfast with DH. maybe head out for lunch together or generally laze about. it used to be to head to a winery or brewery near us, and we still do, but i now require a fancy picnic lunch to be brought along because if i can't drink i will enjoy delicious food while i get my DH plastered, haha.
2. Tried prenatal yoga for the first time last week and loved it. Looking forward to going again this week.
3. Team Green-ish. My husband knows, I do not. He is under strict orders not to spill the beans. No one knows he knows (except the internet), so at least he's not getting asked for hints from anyone we know. We have both a boy and girl name picked out but are battling on middle names.
4. Ideal Saturday: Leisurely run followed by big homemade breakfast with H. Farmer's market trip, lounging, maybe a mani/pedi and then either an awesome homemade dinner or out to eat at our favorite local bistro.
ETA: I'd like some day drinking thrown in there, too.

Oh god, I am doing the same thing. I figured by 16 weeks I wouldn't be worried any more, but I still don't "feel" pregnant. H keeps asking me if I can feel the baby kicking yet, but I'm pretty sure that happens at more like 20 weeks? My next appointment is next week, thank goodness, but I don't think there's even an ultrasound so how will I know if something has gone wrong?
The only thing reassuring me is when H reminded me that there's something the size of an orange in my uterus, and I would know if it came out of my body. Ha!
2. We made a list of what we have and what we need for baby--and DAMN it's a long list!
3. Girl! We have a favorite name, but there are still several other contenders. Luckily we still have time to make up our minds!
4. Right now, I want to spend time outside. Walking, running, tennis, beach, picnic, whatever. This winter has been so miserable and long, and I'm getting stir-crazy!
1. How far along are you this week? 19w6d 2. Any randoms, vents, AWs this week? Anatomy scan went well so that's weight off my shoulders. I was afraid she would only have half a brain or something weird like that. ^o) I feel fine except we had our Valentine's dinner last night and I ate way too much and then couldn't sleep because I was so uncomfortably full. Add that to not really pooping well since I've been off work for 4 days now and I'm not feeling great. I'm actually looking forward to going back to work tomorrow. 3. We haven't done this in a while- are you having a boy, girl, or are you Team Green? If you are still early on, will you find out? Any names picked out? Girl, I think we've settled on a name. I didn't want to tell anyone but he already told his mom so I guess it's out. I just don't want some friends to know because they're having a girl in May and I don't want them to steal our name! 4. If you have a weekend day with no plans, what's your favorite thing to do? I love trail running if the weather is right for it. It takes 20 minutes to get to the trail so it doesn't happen often, but I try to go Sunday mornings in the spring and summer as long as it hasn't been raining and the trail is open.
1. How far along are you this week? 28 weeks 4 days 2. Any randoms, vents, AWs this week? Third tri is hitting me hard. I feel SO tired, and I think my belly is expanding by the minute. 3. We haven't done this in a while- are you having a boy, girl, or are you Team Green? If you are still early on, will you find out? Any names picked out? We're team green! We have one boy name and one girl name picked out. They're DH's great-grandparents' names and I really like them. 4. If you have a weekend day with no plans, what's your favorite thing to do? Sleep in, make a big breakfast and then spend the morning enjoying it. Then, go hiking or running or on a long scenic drive.
1. How far along are you this week? 38 weeks on Wednesday. Oh my god - time needs to slow down. 2. Any randoms, vents, AWs this week? I am swollen and uncomfortable, but also freaking out that the baby could come at any point. Lol. 3. We haven't done this in a while- are you having a boy, girl, or are you Team Green? If you are still early on, will you find out? Any names picked out? Boy. He will likely be James Alfred (mn is a family name), but I'm refusing to commit until he's here (much to my H's chagrin). 4. If you have a weekend day with no plans, what's your favorite thing to do? When not pregnant? Well, it's definitely not winter, and I slept in, had a good workout or went for a long hike, then grilled out with a few drinks on our patio. That's pretty much my perfect day.
1. How far along are you this week? 16w4d 2. Any randoms, vents, AWs this week? I've had six migraines since Tuesday. Blech! I'm hoping a pre-natal massage on Sunday will help things. Otherwise I may look in to acupuncture. 3. We haven't done this in a while- are you having a boy, girl, or are you Team Green? If you are still early on, will you find out? Any names picked out? We find out on March 12 at my 20 week appointment! So excited. We have a boy name nailed down and have for awhile. A girl name is proving to be more difficult, although we have agreed on a couple. I just don't love them like I did instantly with our boy name. 4. If you have a weekend day with no plans, what's your favorite thing to do? read a book, organize a closet or drawers, cook or bake something long and complicated that I usually rarely have time for, take a nap, lay on the couch and watch a movie, catch up with a friend randomly, so many things!
3. Team Green-ish. My husband knows, I do not. He is under strict orders not to spill the beans. No one knows he knows (except the internet), so at least he's not getting asked for hints from anyone we know. We have both a boy and girl name picked out but are battling on middle names.
How is this working out? I want to be team green, DH wants to know. He suggested this and I told him it would never work. I am a great secret guesser, and I know I would analyze everything he did/said in regards to decorating the room, picking names, etc.
