1. 35 weeks 2. We did an awesome job freezer cooking this weekend! Now I feel accomplished, though, so I didn't even look at my to-do list today, and really need to... 3. Turquoise and purple, with a little pink. Woodland animals. 4. Nope, not into basketball.

1. How far along are you this week? 10 weeks
2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? My first u/s is on Friday. I can't wait to see BabyChe!
3. What are your colors/thoughts/ideas for your nursery? Bonus for PIP! We have no idea yet, but I know we have enough points with our townhouse to get one of our rooms painted for free. We still have time to decide.
4. Did you do a March Madness bracket? How IS your bracket after the first weekend? Anyone on pace to win? Yeah, our brackets suck.

1. 11 weeks today 2. I think my MS is finally starting to subside! I was already completely back to normal by this point with DS so I've been feeling resentful toward my nausea. 3. We decorated DS's nursery in a Noah's ark theme, so we'll be reusing all that stuff for the new one and putting the funds towards a truck-themed toddler room for DS. Sorry, second kid. 4. No, not anymore. I used to do it in college for fun and make my picks based on team mascot. Not a big sports person.
1. 14w4d 2. Nothing new to report. Enjoying the movement of baby late at night. 3. No nursery. Baby sleeps in my room until 6 months old so I won't do a nursery until after he or she is born. The cot won't even be built until he or she outgrown their carrycot. 4. I don't even understand the question. I am guessing this is an American thing.
1. 5wks 2 days 2. Just excited to be making progress. I still have about a month to go until my first dr appointment. 3. KaraOrNot - I have a lot of the same nursery pics pinned! I like the idea of something neutral with a some pops of color. 4. I have 2 brackets, not doing too terrible.
1. How far along are you this week? 36 weeks! I can't believe we are already nearing full term. I feel like the pregnancy has flown by and cannot really imagine having baby girl in our house for real in just a few weeks (at most!) 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? I have one ear that is continuously stuffed up and I can hear my heart pounding in that ear all the freaking time. It is really annoying and even makes it hard to hear when I'm talking to someone. I'm getting a bit nervous about the delivery, not because I'm nervous about delivering the baby but really because I'm afraid of hospitals and hospital staff. They make me so nervous. I feel like everyone is pushy and that if i don't do it their way they will bully me into it or that I will get less good service because of it. Also, H is insanely trusting of doctors and hospital staff, so I feel like he won't advocate effectively for me if the staff suggest something that is against my wishes (of course I'm not talking about emergency situations!! In that case, we do whatever they say and worry about the rest later) So I'm really not psyched about the hospital and am hoping that I can stay home as long as possible during labor so that I won't have too much time in L&D. 3. What are your colors/thoughts/ideas for your nursery? Bonus for PIP! Our nursery has a bed, a changing table, and an armoire for baby that are all grey and white. Aside from that, there is no theme. There isn't a theme for my bedroom either, so I'm not too worried about it. Maybe we will develop more of a style for her room later on. 4. Did you do a March Madness bracket? How IS your bracket after the first weekend? Anyone on pace to win? Nope
14 weeks Ok, better than before. The tiredness and nausea has slowed down a bit. The constipation is back though. Oh gosh, I haven't even thought about it. I want to stay team green but I really want a gender specific nursery. I don't know if I can stay a strong team green. Nope. Not a bball follower.

1. 18 weeks 2. Told a couple of people at work yesterday and then word spread to everyone. Glad to have it out there, but really hit me as a oh shit this is real moment. I've just been shocked at how quickly my stomach has grown the last couple of weeks. To most, i'm still not showing, but the difference between now and 2 weeks ago is crazy! 3. Oh, I have no idea. We are still trying to figure out if we'll buy a house before the baby (looking right now, but don't know how long it will take). I like a lot of the colors mentioned here, maybe finding out the sex next week will kick me into gear. 4. Yup, filled out 2. I'm in 1st place in one of them and middle of the pack for the other.
Hey everyone! Yankees had her baby a week ago, so I'm thinking she's a little too busy to be doing this thread! I'll start it for this week.. but I'm going to be having my baby in a few weeks too. Does someone not-too-far along want to take over Mom to be Mondays?
1. How far along are you this week? 23w 4d 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? Yesterday was probably the most painful day I've had this whole pregnancy. I think my ribs were expanding. Also before I went to bed I noticed I'm getting a sore throat, ugh. 3. What are your colors/thoughts/ideas for your nursery? Bonus for PIP! my colors are oranges, greens, browns. My theme is woodland creatures. 4. Did you do a March Madness bracket? How IS your bracket after the first weekend? Anyone on pace to win? no I never do

1. How far along are you this week? 18 weeks on Thursday
2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? We finally have to nursery to be almost completely empty (it was our office), so hopefully this weekend we can start making it more nursery-like
3. What are your colors/thoughts/ideas for your nursery? Bonus for PIP! Right now the walls are green (and staying that way) and we are probably going to do a jungle/animal theme
4. Did you do a March Madness bracket? How IS your bracket after the first weekend? Anyone on pace to win? I was going to with work, but time got away from me. I am kind of laughing at everyone here who had their brackets wrecked this weekend.

1. How far along are you this week? 13 weeks 4 days 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? We told family/friends/co-workers this week. It was getting harder to hide with me beign so sick. I am both relieved and terrified. If something goes wrong now everyone knows and they are so excited. I am still incredibly sick and I am so afraid that it won't go away. It's really clouding my ability to be excited and I am normally such a positive and upbeat person. Blah! 3. What are your colors/thoughts/ideas for your nursery? Bonus for PIP! I have no idea yet. Probably whites, light greys and light blues with pops of color in art. 4. Did you do a March Madness bracket? How IS your bracket after the first weekend? Anyone on pace to win? I did the billion dollar bracket for fun even though I don't follow basketball but I lost every single game the first day.
1. How far along are you this week? 5wks, 3 days 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? I have started gagging while brushing my teeth. Otherwise, feeling pretty good just a little hungry and tired. 3. What are your colors/thoughts/ideas for your nursery? Bonus for PIP! It's too early for me to start planning the nursery, but we are going to have to ask our landlords if we can paint the room. Right now it's bright purple (was their teenage daughters room). 4. Did you do a March Madness bracket? How IS your bracket after the first weekend? Anyone on pace to win? I was planning on it, and then time got away from me.
2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week?
After a symptom-free second tri, the third is getting pretty wacky. Foot cramps and leg cramps are here, as is a constantly dry mouth. Otherwise, feeling good.
3. What are your colors/thoughts/ideas for your nursery? Bonus for PIP!
Baby will be in our room until we move, probably early next year. So we're not decorating a nursery right away. If we were, I'd go gender neutral and do elephants. @charky posted cute elephant bedding a million years ago and I found a cute color scheme combo on Etsy.
4. Did you do a March Madness bracket? How IS your bracket after the first weekend? Anyone on pace to win?
No bracket for me but my alma mater is doing well for the first time in a zillion years and that's been really fun.

First time posting
1) Based on O : 5w, based on LMP : 5w4d. I have an initial (and dating I assume) u/s next Friday 2) DH has been researching anything and everything, and it's adorable. He keeps asking questions about how we will parent and what we need to do, and when we can do stuff like the nursery and installing the car seat. 2B) Vent: I'm so constipated. I wake up almost every morning with what feels like AF cramps. Usually when I can get a good fart, I feel better - but it comes and goes all day. I think I've only pooped once in the last week 3) My initial thoughts are gray and yellow, DH wants orange and aqua. So we'll see. 4) No bracket for me.
2. meh. Uncomfortable. Hips so sore. Feels like being stabbed in vagina when walking. Heartburn terrible even with the zantac. But on the plus side I am still only waking 1-2 times per night to pee, I am sleeping reasonably well and my sciatic pain has eased off the last few days. Overall for this far along with #2 I guess it could be much worse.
3. We only have a 2 bed house, baby will be in with us for a while then at some point will room with his big sis. We'll move her to a toddler bed and put him in her crib. Her room is aqua and very simple.
1. How far along are you this week? 21w5d 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? Nothing too much. Excited that it's a girl, and am starting to feel pretty consistent movement especially after meals. 3. What are your colors/thoughts/ideas for your nursery? Bonus for PIP! Ugh, I don't know how to PIP, but it's pretty much a Pinterest explosion at this point! Aqua walls, yellow, pink, grey and some white accents, white crib, grey rocker/recliner thing, white expedit bookshelf on it's side under the window as a bench and storage, dresser with changing station on top. Round grey and white rug, hardwood floors. Of course this is all in my head, DH has to finish our basement renovation before I can even touch the nursery so it's going to be May at the soonest. 4. Did you do a March Madness bracket? How IS your bracket after the first weekend? Anyone on pace to win? We are huge college basketball fans, but our brackets are totally busted after all the upsets this weekend, including our team's loss (KU). We do a family bracket with my family, I haven't even asked my brother how it's looking because I know it's abysmal!
1. 37 weeks on Thursday. Time flies. 2. I'm starting to break down multiple times a week. Uncomfortable, tired, anxious. It's getting to me. I also have a hemorrhoid that is taking over my life and making me miserable. 3. Our nursery is yellow with pastels mixed in. 4. YES! I picked Kansas to win it all and they lost last weekend but the rest of my final four is in tact. I basically did nothing but watch basketball last weekend, much to my husbands annoyance. He doesn't like basketball at all.
Have you tried Vics?
it sounds crazy but I swear it worked for me. I was in so much butt pain and the prep H wasn't working. So I put vics vaporub on it and it WENT AWAY.

Funny you should say that! My best friend is a L&D nurse and after having two kids, has to deal with hemorrhoids. She told me that a small dab of toothpaste made hers go away in two days. I tried it two nights in a row and bam. GONE. AMAZING.
1. How far along are you this week? 33 weeks 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? Nothing major, we received a few more things off of our registry and I am hoping that our glider will come in early 3. What are your colors/thoughts/ideas for your nursery? Bonus for PIP! We have some safari themed bedding, and I need to order the letters that are going to hang above the crib of the initials 4. Did you do a March Madness bracket? How IS your bracket after the first weekend? Anyone on pace to win? Eh, not great, not terrible. Definitely won't be winning
2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? crib is ordered, glider is ordered, registry is started. i'm feeling movement more regularly so everything is great! second attempt at the anatomy scan next week.
3. What are your colors/thoughts/ideas for your nursery? Bonus for PIP! we're not huge 'theme' people so it's a loose idea of alphabet and books. we're getting a bunch of alphabet prints for the walls, i'll PIP some examples below. and i have some Dr. Seuss prints too.
4. Did you do a March Madness bracket? How IS your bracket after the first weekend? Anyone on pace to win? i have 6 out of the final 16 right. which i consider pretty damn good for someone who knows noting about basketball and picked based on the cities/states i like, haha.
I love the Muppets ABC's! I wish I'd seen that before I bought the one that's already ready to go on the wall!
1. How far along are you this week? 25 weeks 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? I feel pretty good except for a dislocated rib that hurts constantly, and really feeling the extra weight in my feet and ankles when I exercise. I hid the peanuts from myself so I'll stop eating a handful of those every day. 3. What are your colors/thoughts/ideas for your nursery? Bonus for PIP! It's still a work in progress but I'll PIP when it's done. Walls are light pink with a gray stencil on the crib wall, so it's basically pink, white, gray with a few accents of turquoise. There's no theme, I just found some stuff for the wall that I liked. 4. Did you do a March Madness bracket? How IS your bracket after the first weekend?Anyone on pace to win? I didn't do a bracket but my team lost over the weekend and our other state team lost too, so no one left to root for. I'll still watch some games since I like college b-ball but it's not the same when you don't really care who wins.

Hi, welcome!
I feel like whenever the topic comes up I am constantly pimping Metamucil to everyone on this board but I can't help it--it will change your life Get the orange smooth texture NOT sugar free flavor and don't miss a day. You're pooping problems will soon be solved.
I realize I'm a day late, but thought I'd jump in anyway!
1. 13w4d 2. NT scan came back low risk, so I'm so happy and relieved about that. I feel like I've been so cautious for several weeks and now I'm starting to relax and enjoy this. Still throwing up regularly, and now with facial acne! Isn't pregnancy glamorous??? Said no pregnant woman ever. 3. Not putting too much thought into it until I know what we're having. I've fantasized regularly about a boy nursery, but I'm keeping an open mind for now. 4. No

Awesome! Thanks! I haven't been to the Dr yet, so I was kind of waiting it out to see what I could take (the only instructions I got when I called were Tylenol only and take a prenatal vitamin). I'll pick some up tonight.
