2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? Waiting on results from my 1-hour glucose tolerance test. Trying to think positive!
3. Do you plan to make or buy your baby's baby food? I haven't spent that much time thinking about it, but we'll probably do a combo of both. Baby food is really expensive, and if I'm making something like baked sweet potatoes for us, I might as well mash them up for LO!
4. What's the best thing about pregnancy for you so far? I don't like being pregnant, so I'll say it's people going out of their way to be nice
1. How far along are you this week? - 21w 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? I had some serious RLP on Saturday morning that I ended up calling in for. Turns out it's really common in second pregnancies. Joy. 3. Do you plan to make or buy your baby's baby food? Doubtful. I started out trying to make it for #1, but the amount of effort wasn't really worth it in the end. I'll probably do more BLW this time. 4. What's the best thing about pregnancy for you so far? Talking to my son about the "baybay" in my tummy.

1. How far along are you this week? 6w6d 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? Vent -I can't tell if I'm a hypochondriac (I mean I AM, but...) or I really have gotten most of the pregnancy symptoms. My AW - is that this "constipation" thing is fanfreakingtastic!! I always have very *ahem* soft bowel movements due to past surgeries and I am not having consistent almost normal ones! It's amazing!! Random - Kohl's has baby gear with a stackable 20% off so I think we are ordering the stroller, carseat and extra base tomorrow. My mom is getting us the stroller. 3. Do you plan to make or buy your baby's baby food? I will make it when I'm not lazy/too busy and buy it the rest of the time. I have to be careful, DH and I both kinda love those kid food pouches... 4. What's the best thing about pregnancy for you so far? Being pregnant. Just in general.
1. I'll be 32w in a couple days. 2. I sat in L&D this afternoon getting a NST. Baby looks great but I'm ripshit pissed at my OB office. I miss my old one terribly. 3. I have no idea. Probably a combo of both. 4. The diet or lack thereof!
1. 14 weeks today...Yay second trimester! 2. I began having what I think is RLP this weekend. They were intense and repeated every 15 minutes for a couple hours. DH was very sweet and trying to Google what he could do to help. 3. Some of both. My MIL has said she is going to make a bunch for us. She is retired, has a 1 acre garden, cans and freezes everything she can, and is going to be our primary child care provider. 4. We had the second u/s on Friday. It was really awesome to see the baby again and for such a long time. The babe was not cooperating for them to get the NT measurements so we were there a long time with a bathroom break and second u/s attempt.
1. How far along are you this week? 6w2d 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? Wednesday is my first appointment. Nervous and excited! 3. Do you plan to make or buy your baby's baby food? I'm sure I will buy it, because...work 4. What's the best thing about pregnancy for you so far? I'm so early that it feels ridiculous to answer this, but I guess having no really negative symptoms yet. Although, the flipside to this is that it kinda messes with my mind and makes me question the pregnancy constantly.
1. How far along are you this week? 18w3d 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? I thought I felt some flutters yesterday. Then I had the same sensation in my arm. LOL! I am excited and anxious for my ultrasound next Monday. It can't come fast enough. 3. Do you plan to make or buy your baby's baby food? I want to say make, but I am super lazy. I am sure I will end up buying. 4. What's the best thing about pregnancy for you so far? Just the fact that I am pregnant. I really didn't think it would ever happen. H has been really sweet and supportive, which is really nice.
1. How far along are you this week? 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? 3. Do you plan to make or buy your baby's baby food? 4. What's the best thing about pregnancy for you so far?
1. 10 weeks 4 days according to my chart, 11 weeks 5 days according to my very early us.
2. We have the NT scan Thursday, which I am looking forward to. I just want to see that baby looks fine! It will also be nice to know dating, because I'm a little unsure. It will also be nice to be able to have it out in the open. My coworkers are starting to ask questions because I have been sick.
3. I think a combo. I'd like to make some. It seems easy and cheap. I'll probably buy some for convenience.
4. Probably seeing H excited. We haven't told many people yet bc we ate waiting for the NT scan, so it's been weird keeping a secret. We are telling our families this weekend bc we are going to finally see them in person, so I'm excited for that.
1. How far along are you this week? 24 weeks 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? Woke up sick this morning. Not morning sickness. 3. Do you plan to make or buy your baby's baby food? Hopefully breastfeed for a while and then start introducing both home made and bought baby food. 4. What's the best thing about pregnancy for you so far? Most of the time I enjoy feeling her kick. I'm also excited that my dog (who LOVES kids) will be a big sister. <3
1. How far along are you this week? 39 weeks, 1 day
2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week?
Woke up at 6 am today with bad cramping, by 7 it turned into fairly regular contractions (7-10 mins apart). It's been mostly consistent all day - hoping things intensify and this show gets on the road!
3. Do you plan to make or buy your baby's baby food? Probably a combination. No qualms about buying.
4. What's the best thing about pregnancy for you so far? Probably that people are generally nice - I like getting a seat on the subway and smiles from strangers. Pregnancy hasn't been too hard for me, I just feel sort of special.
1. 11 weeks! 2. So excited to almost be at the point we can tell people. Feeling a bit cruddy today with nausea and headaches. 3.Try to nurse, and then likely buy. 4. I am obsessed with baby's heartbeat on the Doppler.
1. How far along are you this week? 16 weeks tomorrow! 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? I'm feeling more movement in the past couple of days and it's pretty neat. I was surprised by it yesterday and my 3.5 year old tried to feel it too 3. Do you plan to make or buy your baby's baby food? Both. The same as I did with DD. I started out with all bought organic purees, then went to a more baby led weaning approach and gave her pieces of cooked veggies and whatnot. 4. What's the best thing about pregnancy for you so far? Not being nauseous anymore? I don't really feel all that pregnant right now. I've stopped feeling super tired and nauseous and, although I'm feeling little movements now, I'm in this state of disbelief that there's actually a baby in there right now. I guess it's the best stage of pregnancy to be in before the aches and pains start I was seriously concerned they wouldn't hear a heartbeat at my appointment last week, but my OB found the heartbeat right away with the doppler. I might be irrational sometimes.
1. How far along are you this week? 22 weeks 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? Nothing really this week 3. Do you plan to make or buy your baby's baby food? Both. Working full time I can't make it all. 4. What's the best thing about pregnancy for you so far? No periods!!!!!!
1. How far along are you this week? 20 weeks, 4 days 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? I had my 20 week a/s and everything is perfect and normal! 3. Do you plan to make or buy your baby's baby food? Make. No real reason other than to hopefully save money. 4. What's the best thing about pregnancy for you so far? I've recently started to feel her move some, and that by far is the best feeling in the world.
2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? Last week, we took our students to camp. I was kind of proud of myself to be able to keep up on daily hikes with my non-pregnant coworkers.
3. Do you plan to make or buy your baby's baby food? Wow! Did not read the question correctly. I'm optimistically planning on making baby food.
4. What's the best thing about pregnancy for you so far? Seeing her face on the ultrasound. It's super cheesy and cliche but I totally get the "never knew I could love something so much" feelings.
1. How far along are you this week? - 29 weeks, 5 days
2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? As I said in a separate thread, the OB let me know that they are planning my c/s for 37 weeks, so in that case I have just around 7 weeks to go. I had my first shower over the weekend, and it was very nice. I got a lot of bath related things and books and a bonus bag of hand-me-downs.
3. Do you plan to make or buy your baby's baby food? I might mash a banana here and there, but I don't expect to make the majority of the food.
4. What's the best thing about pregnancy for you so far? Looking forward to having a baby. But also planning for him. And eating all the sweets I want.
2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? we made a lot of progress clearing out the office this weekend and now are basically waiting for the furniture to arrive! i had what i thought was allergies but turned into a cold but i think is now back to allergies again. really annoying.
3. Do you plan to make or buy your baby's baby food? make ideally, but probably a bit of both. we cook all the time anyway, food is a hobby for both of us, so it can't be that hard to roast/steam some stuff and mush it up for baby.
4. What's the best thing about pregnancy for you so far? i love feeling the kicks, but really? it's been eating whatever i want without gaining weight. it's pretty amazing. on my home scale i'm still the same weight as pre-pregnancy and at the doctor's i'm up one pound. and i'm not shy about eating anything i'm in the mood for. like i said, it's definitely awesome.
1. How far along are you this week? - 23 weeks tomorrow
2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? I found out someone that I met a few times last year but haven't had contact with since November is due the same day as I am. We have yet to meet up again since both DS and I have been sick.
3. Do you plan to make or buy your baby's baby food? Probably both. I started making DS's food then switched to buying it.
4. What's the best thing about pregnancy for you so far? I'm loving the kicks. I hate the first trimester and told myself that I wouldn't go for a third but now that the constant nausea, fatigue and worry is gone I may be up for a third go.

1. 32 weeks 2. It's been pretty uneventful lately. I feel like I'm just chugging along until it's time to give birth. I am almost done with all of the stuff I needed to get done for the baby. The crib is up and everything is organized. 3. Probably buy. I might look into BLW. I don't remember it being a thing when dd was a baby. 4. The kicks. Also seeing how excited dd is about the baby.
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.
1. How far along are you this week? 30wk 4d 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? i can't believe I was ever worried that she wouldn't kick or move. I love when she moves and will miss this. 3. Do you plan to make or buy your baby's baby food? i think making your own food is awesome, I'm just not sure with working fulltime how I could get this done. 4. What's the best thing about pregnancy for you so far? Everything has been easy so far. I also love looking at my bare belly, it amazes me that my husband and I created life.
2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? We finished sorting out all DS' clothes into proper age groups and boxes. Now I just need to wash all the newborn and 0-3 months clothes, bedding, towels, etc. And I pick up the travel system on Thursday. I am excited about that. I also meet my consultant (gynae/ob) this Thursday for the first time. Hopefully that goes well.
3. Do you plan to make or buy your baby's baby food? Last time I went out and bought all the equipment and spent a few hours lovingly making DS' food. I put it all into ice trays, blah, blah, blah. He hated it. In desperation I bought his some food and he gulped it down. All that food that I so lovingly made got thrown away. This time I will make the food again, but probably with a little less love and in small quantities. Sorry second kid, your brother screwed you over.
4. What's the best thing about pregnancy for you so far? How excited DS is about the baby. Every Friday we sit and read what the baby is doing this week and how much it has grown. He then marks it off on a growth chart that DH made for him. And talks about the baby a lot. He has also made a lot of name suggestions and when we went to look at travel systems he gave his opinion and tested some out (by pushing them around, not climbing in). He is really 'part' of this pregnancy.
1. How far along are you this week? 13 weeks (13w2d today)
2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? We are officially released to the OB from the RE. We had our first tri/NT scan last week and it went well. The ultrasound looked perfect and my blood work came back normal. I'm so thankful!
We told H's parents on Mother's Day and his grandparents last night. It's so fun to see everyone's reaction We still need to tell a few people, then we'll be able to stop keeping it a secret and let the world know.
3. Do you plan to make or buy your baby's baby food? I'd like to make it, but we'll see when we get to that point. I have two baby food cookbooks that people have given me, so hopefully that makes it easy.
4. What's the best thing about pregnancy for you so far? Getting to share our news and seeing how excited everyone is. Our parents are both over the moon

Yeah, it was faster than I expected! They called me with blood work results yesterday morning.

8 weeks tomorrow! 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week?
We told my mom the big news on Mother's Day. She was really shocked! 3. Do you plan to make or buy your baby's baby food?
We made all of the baby food for DD, I would like to do the same for this baby, but we also didn't have a toddler running around along with an infant the first time around. 4. What's the best thing about pregnancy for you so far?
It's been a pretty easy pregnancy, really the only symptom I have had is exhaustion. I'm really grateful!
