2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? The shock of finding out we're having twins has set in a bit more and we are pretty excited. I've scheduled some daycare tours for next week so am hoping those go well.
3. Are you planning to get/register for a video monitor for your baby's room? Yes, I definitely want a monitor, probably a video one.
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 aren't going on a babymoon but are going to 2 out of town wedding this summer. I'm also planning my bff's shower and bachelorette party which will be at the beach.
1. I'll be 25 weeks on Thursday 2. AW: We had our monthly appointment today and we got to hear the baby's heartbeat. All is well with me and the baby. My blood pressure is good, I only gained 2.5 lbs since my last appointment so I'm pretty happy. 3. We have registered for a video monitor. H is in IT so I will make sure he monitors our wifi access. 4. We aren't! H and I both started new jobs this year so we can't. But if we were able to, we'd want to do a nice relaxing beach vacay or a cruise.
1. How far along are you this week? 31w2d 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? My first baby shower was on Saturday and it was so wonderful. It was thrown by my girlfriends & they did a great job. 3. Are you planning to get/register for a video monitor for your baby's room? Yes 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 France & Switzerland in January, but didn't really call it a babymoon. I'd love a beachy vacation, but that will probably have to wait until my birthday in November.

1. How far along are you this week? 34 weeks, 4 days 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? As I complained in my confession thread, I'm so ready to not be pregnant anymore, and to meet little dude. And to be off work for a good long break. 3. Are you planning to get/register for a video monitor for your baby's room? We didn't have a registry, but we did purchase a motorola video monitor that had really great reviews. 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 - we went on one last big DINKs trip back in November to London and Spain (although we booked it right before we found out I was pregnant) and we are saving basically all of our vacation time so I can take off as much time for maternity leave as possible. We are renting a house on a lake in August for a week during mat leave, but that's the only vacation we'll be going on this year.

1. 9 weeks 4 days according to my calculations, but my very early us a free weeks ago has me measuring a week ahead.
2. I was pretty sick yesterday. I go back and forth between "am I really pregnant?" And being sure because of the nausea and vomiting. I wondered if I caught something bc it was so bad the other day.
3. I'm not sure. We have a pretty small place, but I like the idea of knowing what's going on in there without having to go in.
4. We went to an all inclusive in the Dominican republic a few weeks ago. We don't really have any other trips planned.
2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? not really. i had my 28 week appt cancelled by the doctor's office then they gave me attitude when rescheduling. dude, you cancelled on me. i do need a specific time otherwise i need to take a whole sick day and i'm saving them up to get paid over leave. people are buying more from our registry since our shower is in three weeks so that's exciting too!
3. Are you planning to get/register for a video monitor for your baby's room? kinda. we are going to do one of the wall-mounted security cameras but probably won't buy it until baby is more mobile. it's not on our registry, but we put one of the angel care sound ones on there for use in the early stages.
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 did a quick weekend trip to a small town about an hour from us over my spring break and it was nice to just relax and get away. that was going to be it but i just found out i won a weekend trip from a fbook contest so now will be having a second weekend away as well!
1. How far along are you this week? I'll be 31w this Wednesday. Gulp.
2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? To my eternal shame, I pissed the bed last night.
3. Are you planning to get/register for a video monitor for your baby's room? Yes
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 for us since we conceived right after we returned home from our honeymoon. If we had the money and PTO, and my doctors OK'd it, we'd either go to Hawaii or a big foodie city like NYC or New Orleans.
1. How far along are you this week? 21 weeks 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? I felt the baby move this weekend. It is never enough. I want to feel him every day. 3. Are you planning to get/register for a video monitor for your baby's room? yes, I did 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 go on vacation every year. This year we are going to Ft Lauderdale on vacation, babymoon, anniversary, and DH birthday celebration all in one. Only 9 days of work left!
2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? I started making my registry wish list on Amazon this weekend. Baby stuff is all so cute and fun to look at, but it's a little overwhelming too. Lucie's List was very helpful though. Also, we have our first tri scan on Friday morning, so I'm excited about that. Assuming all goes well, we are telling my ILs and grandparents this weekend.
3. Are you planning to get/register for a video monitor for your baby's room? Probably not, I just have the Angelcare monitor on my list for now.
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 to TX in August for my brother's wedding, but that's probably it for us this year. My H needs to save the rest of his vacation for when baby comes.
2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week?
Trying to relax and not worry about this SCH and hoping for no change or it getting smaller by my US next week
3. Are you planning to get/register for a video monitor for your baby's room?
We have one already from my DS
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 Charleston for a weekend. I wish it was the Caribbean but I'm still excited for a weekend to sleep in and do nothing but eat good food and relax

1. How far along are you this week? 9 weeks tomorrow 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? I finally puked. Weds and Sunday. It was awful. I hate puking when I'm not drunk 3. Are you planning to get/register for a video monitor for your baby's room? Yep! Model TBD, but it's on the list. 4. If you're going on a Babymoon, where are you going? Barcelona, Spain. I'll be about 24 weeks and it's an awards trip from my DH's work. He's busted his ass to get us there. His company does such nice trips....5 star accommodations and white glove service!!
1. 33w3d 2. We had another shower this weekend and got so much amazing stuff. I need to spend a few hours in his nursery tonight just organizing stuff. I feel like his room is full and he's not even here yet! 3. Yep. We got the Motorola pan, tilt, zoom one. It also has two way communication, which is neat. 4. We went to naples, fl about a week ago and it was amazing. Our hotel was so nice and they pampered us the whole time we were there. It was so relaxing and we had an awesome time.
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.
I have a vent to add now. Because of the bicornuate uterus, they want me to have a consultation after my NT scan. They pushed my appointment back a week for my NT scan so I can do that because that's the first opening they had. Now I have to wait 6 weeks in between ultrasounds. Not cool and not good for my PGAL anxiety. It's aggravating because they knew I had one at 6 weeks and didn't say anything about it then, and if they had I could have arranged for the consult when I made my original appointment a month ago.
1. How far along are you this week? 17 wk 1 day 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? Nothing except I don't feel pregnant ... no symptoms, no movement ... so I'm anxious for our a/s on the 15th. 3. Are you planning to get/register for a video monitor for your baby's room? Nope. Small house. We'll likely reuse the baby monitor from DD's room too since she's getting big. 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, we're too poor at the moment. I'd LOVE to go to Aruba again though.
1. 20w 2. Just happy to be half way there! 3. I think so. We had one with our son and it was great. We'll probably get another so we can keep an eye on #2 4. Our vacation budget (and then some) was spent relandscaping our backyard over the past 2 months. We figured with 2 kids, we would be getting out a lot less and so we wanted to make our yard something that we love. Unfortunately that means no big vacations for this year. We'll probably do some local trips to Palm Springs, Santa Barbara, or other driving distance getaways this summer.

1. 5w2d 2. In annoying early pregnancy paranoia, I went to the Dollar General to buy a pregnancy test to see if it still says I'm pregnant. What have I become? 3. I don't think we will get monitors. Mostly, because we live in a relatively small place, and I don't think we'll miss the crying. On the other hand, I like the idea of a v monitor so that I can obsessively check on baby w/out waking him or her up (do we see a trend here? Crazy, party of 1) 4. We aren't really doing a babymoon, but we did have a big 'last hurrah' trip before TTC to Provence, France in March, which was amazing.
1. How far along are you this week? 15 weeks tomorrow. 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? My morning sickness is gradually going away and I'm so excited! I'm pretty sure I felt this one move yesterday and today a few times, but then I think I must be crazy. However, I did feel my daughter for the first time at 15 weeks so maybe I'm not crazy? 3. Are you planning to get/register for a video monitor for your baby's room? We're not registering and I think we're planning on using the same monitor we used with our daughter which was a simple voice 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. No babymoon planned, but I would like to go away on a little trip with my husband and daughter some time in the summer.

Haha, totally normal! I ran through all my Wondfos, so I went to Dollar Tree for more tests. It's so reassuring! I POAS every day for about 10 days. Come join me on my crazy person couch.
And I love your pre-TTC trip! We actually did the same in March 3 years ago, except I got my BFP the day we left, which put a damper on our visit to the champagne region.

I actually put off TTC when I found out we were going...I need my wine and soft cheeses!!

1. How far along are you this week? 12w5d
2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? I almost passed out on the train on the way to work today. OMG, pregnancy makes me feel so helpless. Found out yesterday that a dear childhood friend's wife is pregnant right now too, due 3 days after I am. I don't see or talk to them much as they live on the other side of the country, but I still hang out with his parents at least monthly.
3. Are you planning to get/register for a video monitor for your baby's room? Probably will, unless SIL is done with hers and gives it to us. Her youngest will be almost 2 when ours is born... Don't know how long people generally want to use those.
4. If you're going on a Babymoon, where are you going? We went on 3 before TTC, because we lost our nerve twice. First was Hawaii, second was Peru, third was Bahamas. I want to go on one more big vacation during the second trimester. Was going to be Hawaii for my cousin's wedding, but we missed the RSVP deadline (didn't notice he wanted a response over 3 MONTHS in advance!), also considering Ireland (cheapest place to fly in Europe right now and we could pop over to Scotland and visit a college friend there for a post doc), or Alaska. Though we also really want to go on a week long backpacking trip in California, which would ideally be in addition, but we may do instead, depending on how much time we feel like we can take off work this summer.
1. 22w4d 2. My nipples suddenly became extremely sensitive over the weekend. Then yesterday I noticed yellowish stuff (colostrum maybe?) leaking out of them. In less disgusting news, I have been shamelessly stalking our registry since shower invites went out last week. I'm so grateful most of our big items (stroller, car seat, pack n play) are already purchased. Finally, my H cleared out the guest room yesterday to have a clean slate to begin working on the wainscoting we are installing in the nursery. When I saw the empty room, I burst into tears. I just cannot believe we are actually at this point. 3. No, we are getting an audio only monitor. Our house is relatively small and I worry with my anxiety I will just obsessively stare at the video monitor all the time. 4. We are planning a trip to Baltimore to see a baseball game in mid July around 34 weeks. We usually go every year but make it a quick, inexpensive trip. This year, we're extending it into a long weekend and will stay in a nice hotel, and get fancy dinners and spa treatments in addition to our usual baseball game.
1. How far along are you this week? 27w4d 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? DH's job loss, and the subsequent loss of insurance, is pretty much all consuming. 3. Are you planning to get/register for a video monitor for your baby's room? We did register for a video monitor. I really hope we get it. If we don't, we will probably just buy the cheapest monitor we can find at this point. 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. n/a
2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week?
This Weds I go for my first u/s. I can't wait. This pregnancy still does not seem real, so seeing the baby will help.
3. Are you planning to get/register for a video monitor for your baby's room?
We currently have a Lorex something-rather and it's a PITA. We plan on getting another video monitor since it has been super helpful since DD is in a big girl bed. We're just going to research before we purchase, this time around!
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.
It's not really a babymoon, but we plan on taking a family vacation to the beach somewhere this summer. We just haven't planned anything yet since we have both been crazy busy.
1. How far along are you this week? 5w6d 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? We had our first prenatal appointment today and our first ultrasound! We saw the baby! And possibly the heartbeat. The tech was 90% sure it was there, but is having us in for a followup next wednesday at 7w1d. 3. Are you planning to get/register for a video monitor for your baby's room? Yes and no. We have a camera now we use (foscam) for the cats. We will move it to the baby room and use DH's samsung galaxy tablet to watch/hear. If we like it we might get another camera. 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. Our really close friends are going to Great Wolf Lodge this summer so we are thinking of taking one last weekend vacation with them! We might also do just a quick weekend at the beach together just because. I'm already on a ton of restrictions, so we can't do anything crazy.
Related to 4 - we went to a Jamaican AI last summer for our anniversary. There was a couple there on their babymoon. She was hot and miserable and pissed at her DH the WHOLE time because he kept going on excursions she couldn't go on due to her pregnancy and she couldn't do anything. I felt bad, but why would you book a babymoon knowing you can't do the stuff at the place you booked it??
1. How far along are you this week? I'll be 6 weeks on Wednesday 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? I have my first ultrasound tomorrow They called me today and said my referral expired ? so hopefully everything goes through by 9:00am! 3. Are you planning to get/register for a video monitor for your baby's room? Yes. I've read lots of good things about Motorola monitors so I'm leaning that 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. I wouldn't be opposed! I wanted to go to Vegas one more time before I got pregnant and coincidentally went the month before I got pregnant. I'm not sure where I'd want to go for our babymoon. I'll have to come back to this in a few months.
1. How far along are you this week? 17w3d 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? I am anxiously awaiting my A/S on the 19th. I am still so nervous; I am hoping this will calm me down a little. In better news, I haven't thrown up in 2 days! 3. Are you planning to get/register for a video monitor for your baby's room? Yes. 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 Las Vegas at the end of this month. I would like to do a relaxing beach trip too, but I don't think we can afford another trip and all of the house projects we want to finish.
2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? Baby Stubby keeps convincing me that certain foods will be delicious, but then revolts after they're eaten, and says "mommy, I have a present for you. It's Heartburn! Tada!"
3. Are you planning to get/register for a video monitor for your baby's room? I haven't really thought about that yet
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've gone to the Texas Renaissance Festival, together every year since we got engaged, and I'm kind of hoping we can still go this year, but camping out at 8 months pregnant is not sounding like a lot of fun. I'm glad that the baby will be born in late November/ early December, because that will make it, easier to bring him or her next year, because they'll have had at least some of their shots by then.
