1. How far along are you this week? 6 week today. It still feels surreal. 2. Any randoms, vents, AWs this week? My H was OOT all last week when I found out I was pg, so he finally got to see me last Friday. He has been so happy all weekend. 3. Are you going to do any elective ultrasounds? Our ultrasound is in a couple of weeks, so I'm excited about that! 4. The Olympics are over! Did you watch at all? What was your favorite moment? I watched some of the figure skating. I kinda missed all my shows that were on hiatus.

1. How far along are you this week? 24 weeks, 4 days 2. Any randoms, vents, AWs this week? H and I went to BRU on Saturday and bought a TON of stuff - I was going over what we have bought so far, and what we need to buy, and I'm feeling so much better. I'm determined to get 95% of everything we need by early third tri so I feel prepared, and after our shopping trip on Saturday I feel like my "need" list is so much shorter. Vent - I really wish this baby would start showing real movement. I've been getting a ton of the flutter stuff, but I still don't feel like I'm getting the movement I should at this point. I have an OB appointment on Thursday and I'm going to talk to the doctor about it. I'm also getting nervous because I have the GD test soon. 3. Are you going to do any elective ultrasounds? We did an elective U/S at 16 weeks to find out the sex, and I've already prepaid for a 3D/4D U/S for sometime in late March. 4. The Olympics are over! Did you watch at all? What was your favorite moment? I watched maybe 30 minutes every night before falling asleep on the couch. I'm kinda glad they are over - I'm ready to start watching other stuff at night.
1. 9w 6 d. 2. I have felt pretty good this past few days. It's worrisome, but I hope that means my MS just is ending early and not a bad sign. 3. No- we wont. I don't even want to find out the sex at our 20w ultrasound, but DH does. A battle is occurring. 4. eh, if I was flipping channels I watched for a few, but that is it.
1. 23w as of this last Friday 2. H decided to do more with the nursery! It's gray and he painted the bottom part of the wall a really nice blue and is adding white chair rail. It's going to look so good when it's done! My diaper bag also came in and I love it. My showers are being planned which is exciting, too. 3. Probably not - I know we get at least one more and we've had 4 already. 4. The Olympics put me to sleep! I was out by 8:30 every night we watched them. I liked the figure skating, ice dancing, and skiing and snowboarding events I saw, though.
2. Any randoms, vents, AWs this week? Had an appt last week. Started progesterone shots & will also be getting a cervical measurement check every two weeks from now until 24 weeks.
3. Are you going to do any elective ultrasounds? No. Already did Verifi, and will have an anatomy scan soon. Plus I'm still getting transvag ultrasounds until 24 weeks.
4. The Olympics are over! Did you watch at all? What was your favorite moment? Yes! I watched all the skating & some curling, ski/snowboard cross, bobsled, and other stuff. Favorite moment was Davis & White winning gold.
1. How far along are you this week? 6w 5d roughly 2. Any randoms, vents, AWs this week? I'm going back to work in 1 week! But I'm terrified of the new role they're saddling me with - it's something I've never actually done before. We got another contract on the house we're trying to sell - the first fell through because the buyer was an idiot - so now we're waiting to see if the 2nd inspection/appraisal go smoothly. Luckily we did fair better this time around price wise. 3. Are you going to do any elective ultrasounds? Probably not, we didn't with DD and we won't really have any extra $$ this time. 4. The Olympics are over! Did you watch at all? What was your favorite moment? Nope, didn't watch any of it.
2. Last night I saw the baby kick for the first time, and honestly it kind of freaked me out. I was like "holy shit, there's a FOOT in my BODY." But it was also fun.
3. No elective ultrasounds for us, but if baby hadn't cooperated at the a/s I would definitely be scheduling one to figure out the sex! (good luck on Wednesday, bowies, I hope baby bowies cooperates!)
4. I watched maybe an hour total; I usually like the Olympics but this year I found all the "personal interest" stuff on NBC annoying.
3. No- we wont. I don't even want to find out the sex at our 20w ultrasound, but DH does. A battle is occurring.
I don't want to find out, but DH does. I reminded him that if he did find out that I would probably nag the hell out of him to find out and I don't want to know, its just it would be so close. He hates it when I nag so its better that he does not find out. He is considering that.

1. How far along are you this week? 33 weeks on Thursday. EEEEK!!!
2. Any randoms, vents, AWs this week? I had my first (possibly only) baby shower on Saturday. It was very low key, just as I had asked. It was so wonderful to see family members and show off the nursery. The baby got lots of great gifts and cute outfits, too! I had fun Sunday morning arranging everything, washing all non-clothes items and folding and putting away but I also realized how much I need to do to prepare.
3. Are you going to do any elective ultrasounds? I've been really tempted to do another u/s to re-confirm the sex of the baby but I won't because I'm cheap. I had a dr appointment this morning and at my 36 week appt, they do an u/s to check her positioning. I'm wondering if they can take a peek at her parts to put my mind at ease!
4. The Olympics are over! Did you watch at all? What was your favorite moment? I love the Olympics so much but I barely watched any of these. I had to work the night of the opening ceremonies and then went out of town for the weekend so I wasn't really connected from the start. I did DVR a few nights and watched what I could but it was hard with the internet splashing the results all over. So stuff that took place in real time Monday-I didn't even watch until Tuesday night. It was ancient history by then! haha
3. No- we wont. I don't even want to find out the sex at our 20w ultrasound, but DH does. A battle is occurring.
I don't want to find out, but DH does. I reminded him that if he did find out that I would probably nag the hell out of him to find out and I don't want to know, its just it would be so close. He hates it when I nag so its better that he does not find out. He is considering that.
I totally understand the nagging part- I would do it to. That is one of the reasons I told him it wouldn't work. Also, I think he would give it up or slip... like would accidentally say he or she or give it away when discussing names (by not caring about one sex) or looking at bedding, etc.
2. Any randoms, vents, AWs this week? had my first crying episode last week, it didn't last long, but was not fun. wore maternity pants for the first time this weekend. they were great, elastic waistbands forever!
3. Are you going to do any elective ultrasounds? no
4. The Olympics are over! Did you watch at all? What was your favorite moment? i watched a lot of the olympics, no favorite moment in particular but i loved seeing what outfits johnny weir and tara lipinski would have on during their commentary!
1. 7w6d 2. Saw the heartbeat last week! I have had much less nausea the past few days; it's been awesome. Here's hoping it lasts! 3. I'm going to have frequent ultrasounds at my doctor's urging (possible cervix issues), but none just for fun. 4. I watched a bit of the Olympics, but not enough to have a favorite moment. I seem to be in the minority in thinking slopestyle is awesome.

1. 34 weeks today and STOKED about it!!! Making it this far has been a major goal of mine for this whole pregnancy, and when I was in the hospital at 32w2d I really didn't think it was realistic at all. Happy to be here! 2. See above. I had a growth scan this morning and babies were estimates at 4lbs10oz and 5lbs4oz. 3. I have a high-risk multiples pregnancy that started with IVF, so I've had literally dozens of ultrasounds. Since 30 weeks I've been on twice weekly ultrasounds, plus I've been admitted twice with a few ultrasounds per admission. I think an elective u/s would be pretty clearly overkill. Thankfully I think the 3D thing looks a little creepy...they turned it on for us once at a regular appointment but the babies weren't that cooperative. 4. I absolutely love the Olympics! I think my favorite moment of this one was during the closing ceremony when they made fun of themselves with the one Olympic ring that didn't open. I can't wait for Rio.

1. How far along are you this week? 32.5 weeks
2. Any randoms, vents, AWs this week? My contractions are getting stronger and feel like real contractions, not just braxton hicks, and it's driving me insane. I can time them for a bit in the evenings, but they never get closer together than 7-10 minutes. Then the stop. I get another ultrasound in two weeks to see if my cervix is still at a good length and then start twice a week monitoring after that. The idea is if labor starts early like it did around this time in my pregnancy with ds, they can catch it early enough to put me on drugs to stop it and buy some more time.
3. Are you going to do any elective ultrasounds? No, but I've had so many already and am going to start having them at every appointment from this point out for monitoring, so I really didn't feel I needed any more.
4. The Olympics are over! Did you watch at all? What was your favorite moment? We watched some. Curling was very entertaining to us for some reason.
. Random - My PBK closed and is reopening in May. They sent me an email with additional locations to use during the renovation. The nearest ones are 10 and 15 miles away. I'm too lazy drive that far. However, Mr.Kirkette is stoked that my PBK habit will be temporarily subdued.
You can come to the Manhattan Beach one and have lunch with me!
You can come to the Manhattan Beach one and have lunch with me!
That's the one that's closed until May. They are moving it to the other side of the mall where the Coach store used to be. However we should go to lunch. I'm free until August.
I should've paged you. The closing/ moving sale was great. 60% off most items + the normal Presidents' Day discounts.
How did I not know they were closing!!?? I was just in that mall last week!
We should definitely do lunch when we are both on leave.
1. How far along are you this week? 6 weeks 4 days 2. Any randoms, vents, AWs this week? As per my previous AW post: I SAW THE HEARTBEAT FOR THE FIRST TIME AND I'M FLIPPING OUT!! (heart) 3. Are you going to do any elective ultrasounds? I'm not even at that stage of thinking yet - just want this bean to stay! If it was up to me I would have one every day to look at it! 4. The Olympics are over! Did you watch at all? What was your favorite moment? Just saw the opening and closing ceremonies. I'm not a fan of watching but I do read the metal count.

1. How far along are you this week? 10 weeks
2. Any randoms, vents, AWs this week? We got to see BabyK last week at my first OB appointment. It was amazing. We've told extended family and close friends now.
3. Are you going to do any elective ultrasounds? No. Every time I see my OB he will do an ultrasound to check everything is measuring correctly. Because of this we aren't doing our 12 week scan ( it wouldn't make a difference to us, so why worry) and we'll be seeing the baby quite regularly. We do have the 20 week scan we'll do elsewhere.
4. The Olympics are over! Did you watch at all? What was your favorite moment? Saw bits and pieces, mostly Aussie stuff they showed us here, but also enjoyed the ice hockey and ice dancing. My husband is Canadian so I wasn't going to get away without seeing ice hockey!

My H wants to know the sex and I don't....same as you guys! Are you going to work through it and be on the same page or will he find out and not tell you?

1. 36 weeks, I switch in Wednesday.
2. I was woken up at 2 last night with back pain. Called the dr when they opened and they wanted to see me just in case. Turns out it's kidney stones
3. The Dr's machine switched between 3d and 4d so all my u/s's he took multiple pictures in both views. I didn't need to get any others.
4. Only watched some of the snowboarding and a few minutes of ice skating.
Oh man! Can they do something about the kidney stones, or do you have to wait for them to pass? Whatever it is, I hope it's resolved quickly!
2. Any randoms, vents, AWs this week? We have told people now and that scares me to death. I am trying so hard to let myself be excited but I worry so much. I just don't want my heart to be broken again. I took a 13 week picture this morning so that is a big step for me! In other news - I leave for Vegas on Saturday!! Yayyy!!!!!
3. Are you going to do any elective ultrasounds? I would have one every day if I could. I just want to know that little baby is healthy. If I have the option at my doctor, I'll be getting one. I won't go anywhere special for one though. Especially since we are team green
4. The Olympics are over! Did you watch at all? What was your favorite moment? I'm usually not into the Winter Olympics, but I enjoyed it this year. Never watched a hockey game in my life, and you would have thought I was their biggest fan during the Russia game. Haha

1. How far along are you this week? 17 weeks and 6 days.
2. Any randoms, vents, AWs this week? I can't believe I'm 2 weeks and 1 day away from being half way! OMG! When did that happen? I've been feeling much better, which has been so nice.
3. Are you going to do any elective ultrasounds? Probably not.
4. The Olympics are over! Did you watch at all? What was your favorite moment? I watched some (mostly ice skating). I didn't really have a favorite moment.
2. Any randoms, vents, AWs this week? I am "out" at work. I feel better since I have a little bump and don't have to try to hide it anymore. I won't be making an announcement or anything to my students (10th graders) so I'm curious how long it will be before one of them makes a comment.
3. Are you going to do any elective ultrasounds? No, I've had plenty already and my doc usually does a quick check at each visit.
4. The Olympics are over! Did you watch at all? What was your favorite moment? Eh, I'm not a huge fan of the Winter Olympics. I love the summer ones though.
1. 9w 6 d. 2. I have felt pretty good this past few days. It's worrisome, but I hope that means my MS just is ending early and not a bad sign. 3. No- we wont. I don't even want to find out the sex at our 20w ultrasound, but DH does. A battle is occurring. 4. eh, if I was flipping channels I watched for a few, but that is it.

I don't know... he isn't one to give up easily... and either am I.
I am considering seeing if my doc will pass a note to the ultrasound tech that it would be great if the baby just happens to be uncooperative and crossing its legs the whole time... that way it just so happens we cant find out.
1. 39 weeks 2. I went to Costco today and some creepy 75+ old man wouldn't stop talking to me about how sexy he thought pregnant women are. He then went on to say his daughters could never say he ignored them when they were pregnant. Wtf! 3. We did 2. One to find out gender early and then the 3d/4d. We only did the gender one because we wanted to find out gender when our family was in town. And then the 3d mainly to make sure she was still a girl lol. 4. I love the Olympics. We watched almost everything but slopestyle skiing is my favorite.
1. 12w6d 2. Planning to tell work tomorrow...eek! 3. I hadn't considered it, but I had to Google and saw we could get an early ultrasound for the sex for $50. I'm definitely tempted! 4. I watched most nights, although I was out of the house the two nights for women's figure skating, which is usually my favorite. I loved seeing all the slopestyle and skateboarding events though because they make it look so effortless.
1. How far along are you this week? 11 weeks tomorrow. It is so surreal to be this close to the 2nd trimester. 2. Any randoms, vents, AWs this week? On Friday I filled out all my prenatal paperwork & had another ultrasound. The nurse told me the doctor will know about 80% sure what the sex is at the NT scan. Is it March 10? Sooooo excited! The baby looked human on Friday. It has looked like a blob up until now. It was the best feeling to see the arms & legs waving around. I wore maternity pants for the first time today. Pull on pants are life changing lol 3. Are you going to do any elective ultrasounds? Yes. We are doing the NT scan. 4. The Olympics are over! Did you watch at all? What was your favorite moment? I watched it every single day & I loved every event. Being pregnant & watching the Olympics was a cry feast nightly. I would cry over the stories. Especially when the person won.
