1. How far along are you this week? 32w2d 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? Making progress on the baby's room; family shower this Saturday 3. Do you plan to make or buy your baby's baby food? I don't know, probably buy, although I could see myself mashing up some stuff as well. I am all about paying money for convenience though. 4. What's the best thing about pregnancy for you so far? I have had a very "easy " pregnancy physically, which has been a blessing, but my favorite thing has been watching DH get excited. I love when he talks to her, makes plans, etc.
1. I'll be 26 weeks on Thursday 2. AW: Posted this in the random as well, but H put the crib together this past weekend. It's crazy to walk by the room and see a crib in there. 3. We plan to make our baby's food, this was the plus for buying the Vitamix. 4. So far it has been seeing how much closer H and I have gotten. We've been together for 12 years (married for almost 7) so it was hard to imagine us becoming closer but we have. I love it. I'm so excited to see him as a father.
1. 28w3d 2. Random: I take the gestational diabetes test on Wednesday, so crossed fingers for that! I passed last pregnancy, but I don't know if that means anything. Vent: Its getting harder to get comfortable at night. I get hot, and can't get comfortable. Guess that's my life for a while! Also, we ate Chinese food last night, and I think all the sodium has made my fingers swell, because I can't get my rings off! 3. I bought it all last time, I'll likely do that again. We'll see. 4. I really love being pregnant, I've been fortunate to have two relatively easy pregnancies, though this one has been slightly harder. I love having a bump, and I love feeling the baby move. This might be our last pregnancy, I'm trying to savor it all.

1. 12 weeks on Thursday 2. Appt on Wednesday. Not sure what all they're going to do this time. This will be after my dermatology appt, so I'm hoping that will help me stay distracted while they numb my leg and remove the mole. 3. Baby food: Right now I plan to do BLW. Puree's are not for me. But we'll see what actually happens! 4. I've been very blessed as far as symptoms go. Minimal nausea, no puking. I'm tired and constipated, but that's actually not all that new. Also, seeing DH get so excited about everything.
1. How far along are you this week? 33 weeks! 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? I really can't complain, I'm home on bedrest (had my twins in '11 nine weeks premature, and they're taking no chances this time, even though it's a singleton). I've only gained 11 lbs this time, which has been great - I think the stress on my body overall has been a lot lower. 3. Do you plan to make or buy your baby's baby food? BUY. I'll have three under three and I work full time ... this is an easy one to me, they make such great organic tasty baby food and I can subscribe n save it from Amazon. My girls LOVE Peter Rabbit Organic packs. 4. What's the best thing about pregnancy for you so far? the sense of anticipation!
1. 19 weeks tomorrow 2. I'm feeling the baby move a lot more now, which is super exciting to me. I got my first comment on Saturday from someone who hadn't been told I'm pregnant (when our waiter wished me a happy mother's day to be lol), so I guess it's starting to get more obvious! 3. Probably a combination of both. I'm also intrigued by the idea of baby-led feeding, but I haven't put too much thought into it yet. 4. I love talking about and planning for the future with DH. Plus he shoveled all the snow this winter!
1. 21 weeks 2. After 2 girls, it's a boy!!! 3. I've made most of my own in the past. I need a new blender but I'll probably do a lot of it. 4. I don't really like being pregnant. Just excited for a new lil buddy.
1. 23 weeks on Thursday 2. We've gotten a bunch of larger items from our registry delivered to the house. The nursery is starting to overflow with giant baby item boxes! I'm so grateful for all of the generosity, and SUPER glad we started decluttering that room when we did, but I feel like it's filling up with crap again and it's making me anxious. UGH. 3. I CAN'T EVEN WITH THIS QUESTION RIGHT NOW. lol 4. Not having my period? Clothes that hide muffin top?
2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? We have our NT Scan tomorrow and I'm taking the day off to go and look at day cares with DH. If all looks good tomorrow we will go ahead and announce on FB!
3. Do you plan to make or buy your baby's baby food? I would like to try to make my own baby food, but am open to buying if I need to.
4. What's the best thing about pregnancy for you so far? At the moment not too much, but I have been loving the ultrasounds, it has been so fascinating to see the babies moving around on the screen.
1. How far along are you this week? 28w4d 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? We got the nursery painted Friday night, pulled out the carpet, and now are working our way toward scraping all the old paint from the previous owners off of the beautiful hardwood floors. DH is hopefully finishing that today, then we can set up the dresser and start to assemble the crib. Our first shower is this Saturday with my DH's family. Things are going by so quickly! 3. Do you plan to make or buy your baby's baby food? I hope to make a fair amount of it, but like everything else kid related I'm trying not to stress myself out too much if I don't. 4. What's the best thing about pregnancy for you so far? Definitely the love and care DH has shown toward both me and the baby. He's a great guy anyway, but I think this pregnancy and the complications and hard times that have come along with it have brought us closer and definitely made us even stronger.
1. How far along are you this week? 31w6d 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? I feel like my pregnancy is going so slowly and everyone else's is zipping by lol. It feels like I should be at least 36 weeks by now! 3. Do you plan to make or buy your baby's baby food? I'd like to make it but I'll probably do a bit of both. 4. What's the best thing about pregnancy for you so far? I don't really like being pregnant but I have to say that once I started visibly showing it's been nice to not have to worry about hiding a belly. My midsection has always been a trouble spot for me and I was always trying to dress in ways that didn't highlight it, even though I know it wasn't really that huge or anything. But it's kind of nice to wear clothes that show it off now.
1. How far along are you this week? 37 weeks on Thursday. Home stretch!
2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? I've written and sent about half of my shower thank-you notes and by doing 4-5 a night, I should be on track to finish them all in the next few days. I also made a bunch of freezer meals over the last two weeks (I just doubled recipes and froze the second portion, so it didn't feel like a huge, all-day undertaking) and I feel pretty well prepped for food post-baby.
3. Do you plan to make or buy your baby's baby food? I plan to make it. I received some great storage containers, but I'm not above buying every now and then. Baby food has come a long way.
4. What's the best thing about pregnancy for you so far? Getting a seat on the train almost every morning and just getting all kinds of random kindness from people, including strangers. Yesterday, when hanging out with my mom for Mother's Day, I also got overwhelmed thinking about how she must have felt when pregnant with me and how she probably felt the same way I do now -- scared and excited about the future and totally in love with a kid I've yet to meet. Although I've always been close to my mother and love her like crazy, it made me feel even closer to her. Sniff sniff.

1. How far along are you this week? 18 weeks 4 days
2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? My a/s ultrasound is on Friday. I'm so excited. I really think it's a boy but we will see! We will announce on Facebook afterwards. Also, I finally told my brother and my grandparents we are expecting.
3. Do you plan to make or buy your baby's baby food? Maybe a combination.
4. What's the best thing about pregnancy for you so far? Being able to feel the baby flutters and pokes.
1. How far along are you this week? 11W3D 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week?We told family yesterday! It's so fun seeing their reactions and having all the love from people. I tell work Thursday at our department lunch. 3. Do you plan to make or buy your baby's baby food? Make 4. What's the best thing about pregnancy for you so far?Attention and H and I seemed to have gotten closer. All the IF stuff was hard and I was scared IVF would be hard on our marriage but it made us stronger.
1. 8 weeks 2. We cleaned out the nursery closet yesterday. Researching new windows for the nursery and a few other rooms around the house. 3. Probably a mix of both bought and made. I could see my DH getting really into making food. 4. Best thing - haven't puked yet! FX it stays that way.
1. How far along are you this week? 23w6d 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? Just hoping everything looks good at my appointment Thursday. Otherwise, nothing new here! 3. Do you plan to make or buy your baby's baby food? Probably a combination. The pouches I see a lot of kids with look pretty convenient, but I assume we'll make most of the food he eats at home since we'll try to just adapt what we're eating. 4. What's the best thing about pregnancy for you so far? Generally I just really like being pregnant (except for the added worry). It's also been a nice bonding experience for us.
1. 34w3d 2. I have my last 2 showers this week! They should both be fun and I think I'm officially nesting, so putting away gifts and stuff will give me something to do in the nursery. 3. We're going to try to make but it won't be the end of the world to me if we end up buying. 4. I've loved it all - I'm in awe of what my body has done to grow this baby! I love that it's an easy conversation starter and how excited people are about it.
10 weeks, 3 days 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week?
I haven't puked in 3 days and this is while also not taking zofran. Because of this, I think it's a boy. We told our soon to be 6 year old daughter this weekend and she was so excited! She's already being a little help getting me water or a snack and hugging my belly. It's so sweet. We also told my mom and brother yesterday. My mom is so excited since I told her we wrote the chance of another one right before I found out. Though in her excitement, she told us that she wants to name it and hope it's a boy. 3. Do you plan to make or buy your baby's baby food?
I made some with DD back then and I hope to do it again! Why not at least for a few months or as long as I can. 4. What's the best thing about pregnancy for you so far?
2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week My linea negra popped up over the weekend and looks very dark pretty much overnight. My skin has taken another turn for the worse, ugh. My heart is still aching for loira and I can't stop thinking about her.
3. Do you plan to make or buy your baby's baby food? Make, we make 98% of our meals at home so I don't think it'll be hard to make a couple extra veggies or whatever for our daughter. We have an immersion blender that will make purées easy.
4. What's the best thing about pregnancy for you so far? Honestly, besides the rough start I had with the SCH, I've had it easy and I love being pregnant. My worst complaint is a vain one. The best part by far is feeling her move, but I also love having a bump.
1. How far along are you this week? 17 weeks 1 day 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week?We finally told DD. The funny questions she is asking me got me LOL a lot. Yesterday she was worried that I may explode at this some point. ahhh 4 year olds 3. Do you plan to make or buy your baby's baby food? Last time we didn't. The transition from baby "ready" food to table food was easy. We just would make the same stuff we ate but smashed it up. We never bought baby food. 4. What's the best thing about pregnancy for you so far? The heartburn is very mild this time around.

1. How far along are you this week? 9 weeks
2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? We had another great u/s appointment last week! Baby was moving around a lot and had a strong heartbeat! It's starting to feel real and I really, really hope we get to keep this one! We go back next Tues for another u/s and then a final 1st trimester appointment on June 5th! The count down is officially on!
3. Do you plan to make or buy your baby's baby food? Probably a mixture of buying and making myself...mostly making myself.
4. What's the best thing about pregnancy for you so far? Everything going so smoothly so far! I'm just so thankful to still be pregnant and continue to have great appointments! Oh, and seeing DH and I bond more with the pregnancy! He has really stepped up and allowed himself to get so excited...he's really hopeful and at least pretending to be relaxed...it really helps me a lot to have him be so positive!

1. How far along are you this week? 34w tomorrow 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? I had a really good appointment this morning and seem to be right on track with everything still, even though I feel huge. I also had one of my showers yesterday and it was great. But now I'm itching to buy the rest of what we need and just complete everything off the list! 3. Do you plan to make or buy your baby's baby food? I guess I hadn't thought about it, but probably buy, or mash up whatever we are eating as best as I can? 4. What's the best thing about pregnancy for you so far? I've loved it all. I love the attention and how nice everyone is and how much people care. I also love having this special connection with my child; I'll *technically* never be this close or intimate with it again. I also love the baby movement, it makes me smile all the time. And overall, I've had a fantastic pregnancy with pretty much none of the bad symptoms. I feel like I could easily do this over and over again because I love it so much

1. How far along are you this week? 25 weeks 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? Nothing really. 3. Do you plan to make or buy your baby's baby food? Bit of both. Probably try to mash up what we are eating as well as some of the organic pouches. I honestly don't know 4. What's the best thing about pregnancy for you so far? I enjoy how nice people are to me and how everything has gone so smoothly so far.

1. 18 weeks 2. My anatomy scan is tomorrow! I'm so excited. 3. I made most of DS's because I SAH and it's so easy and cheap. I'll likely do the same with this one, and supplement with store bought whenever necessary. 4. I love baby kicks!
2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week?
Baby continues to feel really long! Any tips to stop my belly from lurching during meetings?
3. Do you plan to make or buy your baby's baby food?
I'll nurse, then I'm buy the jars. I did make our own sweet potatoes with DD but to be honest it was a PITA for not a lot of savings or perceived "healthierness"
4. What's the best thing about pregnancy for you so far?
1. 32 weeks 3 days 2. Finally getting things ready for the baby. Lots of repainting and redecorating. 3. We do not follow the whole BLW thing. We start purees and cereal at about 3 or 4 months. Then, by 6 months they are usually eating the same thing we are. So, I buy our purees. 4. The best thing has been losing weight. I have 6 weeks left until scheduled c section. I am down 1 pound from pre-pregnancy. So, I should come out 20 to 25 pounds lighter. It happens every pregnancy but my body pops right back up to the exact same weight again .

1. 28w tomorrow! 3rd tri . Lots of stuff at the dr. tomorrow: growth US, glucose test, rhogam shot. Fun fun! 2. AW: I got the sweetest card ("from" the baby) and beautiful flowers from BF for Mother's Day. And he painted the nursery yesterday! Vent: this SPD and SI joint pain are ruthless. I finally got a referral to a chiro, now i just need to find the time to call and schedule an appt and go get some relief! 3. Probably a mix. We'll cross that bridge when she starts showing interest in food. 4. How excited my parents are to be grandparents . Before BF I was always very ambivalent about kids of my own - no way would I have had any with XH, and XBF had his young and wasn't interested in having more. They were always very supportive of my choices and feelings, but as I see them talk about the baby and make grandparent plans I'm really glad that I can give them this experience

1. How far along are you this week? 7 weeks 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? My first u/s in on Thursday! I have been impatiently waiting for this day. I want to know if one or both embies took dang it! 3. Do you plan to make or buy your baby's baby food? I will probably do a mixture. I'm sure convenience will win some battles. 4. What's the best thing about pregnancy for you so far? Just the fact that I'm am. 6.5 yrs is a long time to fight for it. I also love seeing how happy and excited DH is. It's been a long hard battle for us to get here.
1. 12 weeks, 2 days 2. Announced to H's side of the family over the weekend. They are so excited! But my crazy SIL made some really off the wall comments to me while we were on the phone (including, "did you just lie to your H about taking birth control to trick him into getting you pregnant- he'd never agree to doing it otherwise"). Announcing to my family later this week. 3. I don't know yet. 4. The glorious naps.
