1. How far along are you this week? 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? 3. Are you planning to get/register for a video monitor for your baby's room? 4. If you're going on a Babymoon, where are you going? If not, dream big and tell us where you'd like to go.
1. 27w3d 2. Depending on who you ask, I think I enter this third trimester this week, or at least the end of this week! Gulp! 3. Most likely not, unless someone surprises me with one. We already have the Angelcare monitor, and were pleased with it. 4. We're going on a tiny one - we had planned to go to a concert about two hours away near Asheville, NC in July. My mom offered to keep our son all weekend so we can have a little Babymoon, so we're staying Friday and Saturday night! Woohoo!
1. How far along are you this week? 6 weeks 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? This past weekend we went home to Chicago and hit up all the (big and small) baby stores that we don't have up here in WI and basically did a binge-fest of baby-related research and pricing of things. I haven't really allowed myself to research baby stuff since like year 1 of ttc. We are so over-scheduled through September that we have to make the most out of every weekend. We only have 5 more free weekends from now until mid-September. 3. Are you planning to get/register for a video monitor for your baby's room? No 4. If you're going on a Babymoon, where are you going? If not, dream big and tell us where you'd like to go. My 30th is in August and we had planned on doing a week to ten day trip to California but now we are thinking of only doing a long weekend (4-5) in California or to Siesta Key, FL. If it turns out that both embryos took, we can scratch those travel plans though.
2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? We went to a childbirth class on Saturday. H was bored because he already knew all the medical stuff. I got mad at him because he was goofing around on his phone. (wilted)
3. Are you planning to get/register for a video monitor for your baby's room? Yes, we are registered for this one, but I don't feel particularly strongly about it.
4. If you're going on a Babymoon, where are you going? If not, dream big and tell us where you'd like to go. We are going to Riviera Maya in two weeks!
2. I think the nursery is pretty much done. I'm just waiting on some frames my sister is brining when she comes this weekend and it will be all set decorating wise. Our maternity photo shoot is this evening so I hope it goes well and the pics come out good.
3. Every time I look at monitors I get overwhelmed so we haven't decided on one yet. I'm leaning toward a video monitor because that way I don't have to go in his room ever time he makes a sound.
4. We west to Mystic Ct last week. We went to the seaport and the aquarium. It was fun. We wanted to get away for a couple days but not go to far just in case.
1. How far along are you this week? 33 weeks tomorrow 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? We had our childbirth classes on Friday and Saturday, and the hospital tour tonight. I'm excited for the tour! 3. Are you planning to get/register for a video monitor for your baby's room? Nope 4. If you're going on a Babymoon, where are you going? If not, dream big and tell us where you'd like to go. We're going up north to the beach/sand dunes (where you can drive out on them) over Memorial Day weekend, and staying in a hotel that's on the lake. We normally go WAY up north to a friends' cabin but I'll be 36 weeks then so we figured we should stick closer to home. I'm really excited to relax the whole weekend and hope the weather cooperates!
2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week?u/s Thursday. So anxious! We're telling family this weekend so I just want one last look at them. I don't know how girls go a month between appts, I can barely last 2 weeks!
3. Are you planning to get/register for a video monitor for your baby's room? Ugh I'm doing so much research over this. I swear it's the one item that some people love a brand, and others hate them. I want an audio at first - pry do a cheapy Vtech one at Target. Then I want a video more for when they are older, my bff uses hers a ton now that her son is 1 and likes to play in the crib so she watches him. Hoping to put the cribs close so just do 1 camera, or get a monitor that has the option to add a 2nd camera later. I'm leaning toward Vtech Safe and Sound (I think) or Motorola. I've read baby bargains and try reading MM Moms for recs.
4. If you're going on a Babymoon, where are you going? If not, dream big and tell us where you'd like to go. We have no plans for trips this summer. I'd love to do an all inclusive - like Bahamas or Jamaica. Our 5 year anniv is next year but I doubt we can afford to go. We might just sneak away for a weekend and do a winery or something.
1. How far along are you this week? 30w6d 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? The 3D ultrasound on Sat. was a bust so we're going back for another try. It's scheduled for Sat. but I think I'm going to reschedule for during the week next week. Baby seems more active during the week. My parents were here for it and my mom and I went shopping afterwards and she bought a bunch of stuff off my registry that we really needed, so there's not a whole lot left to get. I still can't bring myself to open and wash the new stuff though. 3. Are you planning to get/register for a video monitor for your baby's room? Yes, we got a wireless camera that has an app for Ipad and Iphones so we'll check it that way. And yes, I know we need to secure it so crazies don't get access to it. 4. If you're going on a Babymoon, where are you going? If not, dream big and tell us where you'd like to go. No, I think any flight or long car trip would be super uncomfortable for me now. Some kind of warm beachy location would be nice though.
1. How far along are you this week? 36 weeks on Thursday.
2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? My shower was this weekend! It was really, really great. I teared up several times because I was overwhelmed by how much love I felt from friends and family. My out-of-town in laws also surprised us and came up for the weekend, which was great. In other pregnancy news, I had more spotting last night, but it was even less than last week, so I'm not worried (but will bring it up with my doctor at my next appointment). I also confirmed our pediatrician today.
4. If you're going on a Babymoon, where are you going? If not, dream big and tell us where you'd like to go. We had some out-of-town weddings in fun locations (one of which was a gorgeous resort) at 29 and 30 weeks pregnant, so that was sort of our babymoon.
1. How far along are you this week? 38 weeks 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? Had my appt with the vbac provider on Friday. She said I won't make it to my due date and very likely won't make it to our follow-up appt this coming Friday. Cue freaking out. Also, I am now anxious to know when I'll go into labor. 3. Are you planning to get/register for a video monitor for your baby's room? We have a foscam for DS and will get another for this one as soon as he is in his own room. Until then, I will use the audio monitor that we have since he'll just be in my room. 4. If you're going on a Babymoon, where are you going? If not, dream big and tell us where you'd like to go No. Way too busy. Dream would be to go to somewhere relaxing. I really don't care where. I just want warmth, sun, and to not move.
2. I am counting down the days til first tri is over. I know my ms won't just magically disappear next week but I'm so sick of being sick and a gal can dream right?!
I have a doc appt today and hopefully peanut will be cooperative and we can hear the hb on doppler.
3. I have one from DS. Most likely we'll just use that one.
4. We've been talking about it. We want to do a family trip and take DS to New Orleans to the zoo/aquarium and then the two of us will go somewhere together later this summer...maybe Galinburg?
1. How far along are you this week? 38 weeks today and this is (likely) my last Mom-to-be Monday. C-section scheduled for next Monday! 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? I'm a bundle of emotions. I feel like we are ready and I can't wait to meet little man next Monday. Eeeekk. My vent would be the constant peeing. I actually peed this morning and had to pee again as soon as I walked downstairs to let the dog out. WTH? 3. Are you planning to get/register for a video monitor for your baby's room? We registered for one and didn't get it. More than likely we will buy one with the registry certificate OR buy a non baby video/security system since they seem to be cheaper. My husband is not a big fan but I have time to convince him since he will be sleeping in our room for the first few weeks anyway. We did get a audio monitor. 4. If you're going on a Babymoon, where are you going? If not, dream big and tell us where you'd like to go. We didn't do a babymoon. I wanted to go anywhere with a beach- like Aurba.
1. 31 weeks, 3 days 2. Trying to get our house ready for 4 children to live here. 3. No, we won't get a video monitor. We just use an old, sound only one. 4. No baby moon. We haven't ever taken one. The whole family is in for a big change so we are spending lots of fun times with our 3 kids.
1. 11 weeks, 2 days 2. Had my first ultrasound on Friday. The dr was nice and didn't make me do the transvaginal one- I call that a win. Saw our little baby measuring right on track, wiggling all over the place and moving arms and legs. Heartbeat was 175. It was a surreal experience. 3. I don't know. I've been putting off researching/thinking about any baby gear. 4. We are going to the beach with the ILs in June for a few days... but I don't think we'll go on a babymoon. I would just want to go somewhere we haven't been.

1. 17 weeks. This pregnancy feels like it's going by so slowly. I don't mind at all, I need all the time I can get. 2. I got a maternity swimsuit this weekend that I'm pretty pleased with. On clearance from Old Navy, but I think it's cute - a halter top tankini, navy blue with little red anchors all over. Why are so many maternity suits designed with wide horizontal stripes? I did not want to look like a beach ball! 3. We have one we used with DS and I really liked having it. Since we moved, we've never been able to get it working again (it connects through our wireless) so we may have to buy a new one. I am wide awake at every squeak so I definitely prefer video to audio, but we'll wait to buy until we're transitioning baby to the nursery. 4. Sort of? We're taking DS with us to visit DHs family in Orlando and meet our niece. We will be staying at my ILs timeshare in a resort-like setting with a nice pool and hopefully taking DS to Disneyworld for a day or two. It won't be relaxing but it's our last big trip for quite a while so I'm looking forward to it. I'll be about 6 months along.

1. How far along are you this week? 10w4d today
2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? I feel like everyone is way more excited about the baby than I am. I mean, I'm excited, and I love talking to DH about it, but as it gets closer to telling everyone, the more I freak out. I don't like being the center of attention, and it's just going to keep getting worse.
3. Are you planning to get/register for a video monitor for your baby's room? We probably won't register for one, but I certainly wouldn't turn one down if gifted! (though, if I find one at a garage sale for cheap, I'll snag it!)
4. If you're going on a Babymoon, where are you going? If not, dream big and tell us where you'd like to go. No big plans. Probably just a weekend in the mountains (my parents have a condo). Dream big: I'd love to go on a cruise, but it's not really in the budget.
1. How far along are you this week? Officially in the 3rd trimester: 28 weeks, 5 days
2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? My work shower is next weekend, and I have shamelessly looked to see the number of items off my registry, but I have so far had enough self control not to peek at which specific things have been purchased.
3. Are you planning to get/register for a video monitor for your baby's room? Yes, I am kind of anxious in general, and I think being able to look at the baby will be reassuring. We registered for a pretty pricey one, but I don't expect anyone to get it for us. We will be happy to get it with the completion discount.
4. If you're going on a Babymoon, where are you going? If not, dream big and tell us where you'd like to go. We went to Nashville a few weeks ago, just for a couple days. We just picked somewhere in easy driving distance with good food. The weather was gorgeous, and it was very relaxing. We even saw a celebrity ("celebrity"?) This guy from Criminal Minds:
2. I feel so uncomfortable and stretched at the end of each day. I swear my belly is so much bigger by bedtime than it is in the morning! I've been trying to eat smaller meals more frequently, but lately I'm hungry all the time but very small amounts of food make me feel stuffed. And I still have 4 weeks (or more!) to go!
3. Yep, we have a video monitor, but not a very fancy one--it doesn't zoom so we've had some troubles figuring out where to mount it so we'll be able to see the crib! We also completely rearranged the nursery this weekend, which is also making it hard to figure out where to put the monitor.
4. Around 30 weeks we did a weekend trip to NYC, but I was working for part of the time and it was raining for all the time, so while I'm calling it a babymoon I'm completely jealous of rbp's plan!
1. How far along are you this week? 20 weeks!!!!! 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? Nope 3. Are you planning to get/register for a video monitor for your baby's room? We are definitely getting one. We used one with DD until the monitor broke when she turned 3. We loved that thing. 4. If you're going on a Babymoon, where are you going? If not, dream big and tell us where you'd like to go. Nope, no money and no time
1. How far along are you this week? 16 wk 1 day 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? DH and I are not getting along. Sometimes I just want to be the spoiled pg wife and him to have some sympathy for me but he isn't that type at all. 3. Are you planning to get/register for a video monitor for your baby's room? no video. Likely just a regular one. I had a video one with DD and it was just creepy. 4. If you're going on a Babymoon, where are you going? If not, dream big and tell us where you'd like to go. We are going to Panama City over Memorial Day weekend. Nothing else super exciting.
2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? Nothing new here, except that I'm getting really frustrated with my inability to sleep through the night and feel rested in the morning. I just know this is going to get worse, though.
3. Are you planning to get/register for a video monitor for your baby's room? We've registered for an audio one and the Snuza Hero to help calm my FTM nerves.
4. If you're going on a Babymoon, where are you going? We plan to travel over a couple of long weekends, since we decided to save my vacation days to possibly tack on to the end of my leave. I'd love to spend a week in the Caribbean but we're planning to take a long weekend to Florida and maybe another to the mountains this summer.
2) We just had our first doctor's appt a couple of days ago, and got to see our little jelly bean & hear the heart beat. Exciting stuff! Now we are just counting down the days until Mother's Day so that we can finally share the news.
3) I haven't thought about a video monitor, until this thread. Our house is relatively small, and I plan on the baby sleeping with us for the first couple of months so I'm not sure if we really need it.
4) We just finalized our babymoon for when I'm 20 weeks pregnant. We are going to Aruba for the week, and I hope to do nothing more than relax on the beach, read, and eat good food.
1. 17w6d. 2. Nothing too exciting today. Leaving for a work trip today, which might be my last one for a while. 3. I think I want one of the motion-sensing ones, but not necessarily a video one. 4. No babymoon for us. We are very tentatively planning a trip to Europe with some friends for 2016, which I'm already excited about. One guy's mom is going to come and watch his kid and ours during the evenings.
1. How far along are you this week? 9 weeks 3 days 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? I'm sleeping so much, it's crazy. I feel like I'm hibernating. And though the zofran helps, any indication of nausea makes me down. I hope it goes away. 3. Are you planning to get/register for a video monitor for your baby's room? No, we live in a ranch house and the room is fairly close that we would hear the baby either way. 4. If you're going on a Babymoon, where are you going? If not, dream big and tell us where you'd like to go. Not in the plans. It would be nice to do a familymoon (we have a 5.5 year old) I would like to hit a beach for a long weekend at least. We live in the mid-west.
1. How far along are you this week? 38 Weeks, 1 Day
2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? I haven't been feeling any real signs of labor, I have this sense I am going to be super past due. I'm so ready to meet my little guy!
3. Are you planning to get/register for a video monitor for your baby's room? Ordered this one last week: www.amazon.com/dp/B004VL2VRO/ref=pe_385040_30332190_TE_M3T1_ST1_dp_1 FYI: Amazon is offering a $40 gift card with this purchase and the price is 10-15% less than BBB.
4. If you're going on a Babymoon, where are you going? If not, dream big and tell us where you'd like to go. Not going anywhere now. We went to Aruba in December as a combined babymoon/30th birthday celebration for me
1. How far along are you this week? 8 wks today 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? We had our first OB appt last Tues and it went great! Saw and heard the heartbeat and everything measured right on track! I had really bad m/s last week but it mellowed yesterday and PGAL brain had a few good moments with me. We go back on Thurs and I am anxious to see that everything is going well! 3. Are you planning to get/register for a video monitor for your baby's room? My friend gave me one but she had a lot of issues with it. She's hoping my DH can fix it and we can put it to use. If DH cannot fix it we will be putting one on the registry. 4. If you're going on a Babymoon, where are you going? If not, dream big and tell us where you'd like to go. We are taking a road trip up the coast in June (for our anniversary). We will spend two nights in Pismo Beach, 2 nights in Monterey, come home for 1 night, and then 1 night in Palm Springs. Not much planned other than that but I'm sure we will try to get away for a few long weekends and maybe even another week long trip (DH is trying to convince me to go to the river and stay at his parents house so we can take the boat out. We will likely go for 4-5 days but I'm not game for a whole week with my MIL. We need to find a compromise because it will be great to be on the water and relax with DH!).

1. Will be 15 weeks on Thursday. 2. I got to work, and nearly immediately my stomach started hurting. This bodes not well. 3. We got one when my oldest was around 2. Hopefully I can still find all of the parts. 4. Nope. Maternity leave sucks, so I'll be scrounging for every last day.
1. How far along are you this week? 10 weeks today 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? Got to hear the heartbeat on the doppler! That means that I am officially the farthest along I have ever been, considering the baby passed sometime between 8-9 weeks during my missed. 3. Are you planning to get/register for a video monitor for your baby's room? Not sure, possibly. Maybe just an audio one, though. 4. If you're going on a Babymoon, where are you going? If not, dream big and tell us where you'd like to go. Not going to go. DH is just starting out as a police officer, so vacations aren't a luxury we can afford right now, in more ways than one. Also, like gretchen, I will be saving for my maternity leave since most will be unpaid.
2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? Nothing, really! Still have not been really sick, which is great. My stomach is a little wobbly, but eating small amounts frequently and taking B6 seems to help.
3. Are you planning to get/register for a video monitor for your baby's room? We have a Summer Infant for #1 and love the video. I think we'll switch to a Foscam type system for both kids, but not in a rush. We'd have to figure out what to do for babysitters; I suppose leaving my iPad will work.
4. If you're going on a Babymoon, where are you going? If not, dream big and tell us where you'd like to go. No babymoon this time, but we are goin on a kid free long weekend to NYC next month!
Love of my life baby boy born 11/11. One and done not by choice; 3 years of TTC yielded 4 MMC and 2 CPs, through 4 IUIs and 2 IVFs. Focusing on making the world a better place instead...and running.
3. We're thinking about a.video monitor this time, but probably wouldn't really need it until a few months out when we move baby into her room from ours. Last time we didn't need it at all because our condo was so small, but now all the bedrooms are upstairs.
4. We're just doing a weekend staycation with DD at a nice hotel in Laguna Beach.
