1. How far along are you this week? 22 weeks
2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? I'm somehow down in weight this morning. Like 4 lbs so. Not sure how that one happened! Not pg related but I'm excited for the weekend. We have off on Friday and are going up to Door County for some camping with family
3. What's the favorite thing you've bought or received for this baby(ies) so far? Bought: probably the bedding and the valances so far. Received: a "I (heart) Grandma" onesie from my MIL on Mother's Day. It was really sweet.
4. If you had $10,000 for a vacation, where would you go? Europe since I've never been. I'd stay at budget lodging while trying to bum around places like England, Ireland, France, Germany, Greece...

1. How far along are you this week? 39 weeks, 4 days 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? AW: This may be my last M2BM... Vent: I am running on about 2 hours of sleep right now, because I just couldn't get comfortable last night. 3. What's the favorite thing you've bought or received for this baby(ies) so far? Received: probably the quilt my mom made, bought: the monkey decals, because it really breaks up the nursery, and my H did a really good job on them! 4. If you had $10,000 for a vacation, where would you go? An all-inclusive somewhere tropical, but I would probably wait until January, so I could enjoy the warmth and a good mixed drink. Maybe back to Jamaica, or somewhere in Mexico.
ETA: I missed a zero in the vacation, and would like to change my answer to Ireland, spending a month to tour the countryside.
2. AW: so close to 3rd tri!! Vent: Took me 3 hours to fall asleep last night and was then up every 2 hours to pee, uggh. Random: Babies are moving up a storm, and at the last u/s were both breach, I'm having irrational fears that they are going to kick so hard they'll break my water too soon. Totally irrational right??
1. How far along are you this week? 6w2d 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? Got a cold last week and has been super crummy. 3. What's the favorite thing you've bought or received for this baby(ies) so far? Haven't bought anything yet (and no one knows yet, so haven't received anything either.) Still a bit early, but I'm eyeing all kinds of things! 4. If you had $10,000 for a vacation, where would you go? Iceland!
2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? Had my first shower yesterday! Everything is piled in the nursery and I can't wait to sort thru it. Dr appt tomorrow but it's just a bp, weight check. I also have a chiro appt Thursday that I'm so looking forward to. My back and hips have been hurting all weekend when I sleep.
3. What's the favorite thing you've bought or received for this baby(ies) so far? Bought - art in the nursery. One of them is the saying from the book "I'll love you forever" and I stare at it a lot. Received - bedding because my mom made all of it
4. If you had $10,000 for a vacation, where would you go? Hawaii. We went for our honeymoon 4 years ago and I told H we're going back for our 25th anniv. But if we had that big of a budget we could stay a lot longer and do more of the excursions we didn't have time for.

1. How far along are you this week? 27 weeks tomorrow - Hello 3rd tri! 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? My vent is that at my FIL's birthday party I was introduced to everyone as "DIL and First Grandbaby". I know they are excited, but it got old really fast. 3. What's the favorite thing you've bought or received for this baby(ies) so far? I'm excited to use our bob ($75 at a garage sale!). 4. If you had $10,000 for a vacation, where would you go? Probably on a San Diego - Miami Panama Canal Cruise - balcony room.

1. 18w5d HOLY SHIT where does time go. 2. I have a cold or allergies or something, such that I have a nasty cough that is pissing off my asthma really bad. It's very uncomfortable. BUT my A/S is on wednesday morning, time to find out which team we're on! 3. My Boba 4g carrier. I love it, it's got a super cute pattern on it and it's exactly what I wanted. 4. Europe. I'd travel the continent by train, stay a few nights in each city and eat the food.
1. How far along are you this week? 32 weeks 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? We put the crib together and the room is nearly finished. It was crazy easy this time. 3. What's the favorite thing you've bought or received for this baby(ies) so far? Nothing really. I have only purchased the miracle blanket last week. 2nd baby --- don't need much. 4. If you had $10,000 for a vacation, where would you go? Croatia. DH homeland and I have yet to go visit yet. 8 years of marriage. (10 years together) sigh
1. 34 weeks tomorrow 2. Just tired and uncomfortable. I have a growth ultrasound on Thursday though and I'm excited to see my baby again! 3. I mentioned a few years ago that I really liked a blanket my grandma gave to my cousin. She told me she didn't have that pattern anymore, but she managed to track it down and made me one! It's really pretty and folds into a pillow. 4. France, Germany, and Spain.
1. 38 weeks 2. Why do I keep thinking of more things to add to my to do list? Ugh its making me anxious. 3. A crocheted blanket and a few different sets of clothes. 4. I guess somewhere in the South pacific.
2. This is my last Mom to be Monday *sniff.* I have so many mixed emotions. 1. Of course I'm beyond excited to meet my baby. 2. Scared because PGAL is still there and what if something is wrong with her? Or with me? 3. Sad because I have really, really enjoyed being pregnant and I'm going to miss feeling her inside me and having her all to myself. 4. Mushy? Is that even an emotion? I was tearing up cuddling with H in bed last night because I just love him so much and can't wait to see him with our baby.
3. I think my favorite thing we purchased is the chandelier. I've been dreaming of one in my daughter's room for years and it was the first purchase after finding out it was a girl. My favorite gift was the glider chair my aunt bought because it is super comfy.
4. A 10 day European cruise with an extra few nights before/after to explore.
2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? I think the nesting has finally kicked in. My H and I got tons of cleaning and organizing done over the weekend, and we got a crib mattress, so one step closer to the nursery being done!
I have my 28 week appt on Wednesday, and will do my GD test and get an Rh shot that day too. I can't believe this baby will be here in less than 12 weeks-I can't wait!
3. What's the favorite thing you've bought or received for this baby(ies) so far? A baby blanket my mom knitted when she was pregnant with me.
4. If you had $10,000 for a vacation, where would you go? The Mediterranean. I'd love to do a long cruise and see all of the sights, and maybe spend a few extra days in Italy or Greece. Someday!

1. 33 weeks! Less than 50 days to my due date, yikes. 2. I haven't gained any weight in two weeks. I'm still ten pounds down from where I ended up with DS1. I'm curious to see what my weight gain total will be this time around! 3. Bought: My Beco Soleil carrier. I spent so much time deciding what carrier to get! Received: I haven't gotten it yet, but my mom is making him a quilt that I'm excited to see. DS1 sleeps with the one she made him every night. 4. Europe for sure. We'd start at the Greek Islands, tour Italy, stop in Paris, and end with Scotland/Ireland/England. We'd meant to get to Europe before we started having babies but didn't make it.
2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? Only one week to anatomy scan next Wednesday! I cannot wait, I really hate going 1+ months between appts
3. What's the favorite thing you've bought or received for this baby(ies) so far? Well, it's still early so we don't have much. And we're moving this fall, so I'm not trying to stock up on a lot yet. Right now, just baby books so DH and I can read to the baby at night.
4. If you had $10,000 for a vacation, where would you go? Japan - I'd prob need more than 10K b/c the flights are so expensive, but that's my dream vacation. Delicious sushi and fish every day.
1. 20 weeks today! 2. It's a quiet week w/no appts, but we did have an u/s last Thursday and the babies look great and were each measuring about a week ahead. I hope they stay at that pace - it'll be a giant relief after DD's IUGR. 3. We literally have bought nothing yet, but now that I was able order DDs furniture I can finally order the other crib. We are totally splurging on a glider this time and I can't wait to go try them out. 4. As much time at a beach house in Cape Cod as I could buy, with great meals and some spa time!

1. How far along are you this week? 9 weeks on Wednesday
2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? Morning sickness. Gah.
3. What's the favorite thing you've bought or received for this baby(ies) so far? We got an adorable little onesie that says Ice, Ice, Baby with hockey sticks on it.
4. If you had $10,000 for a vacation, where would you go? Jamaica. Bermuda. Somewhere with sand and an ocean. [/quote]
1. 12.5 weeks 2. Nausea seems to have come back. But not too bad. My good aversions are getting better. Feeling pretty good otherwise. 3. Bought not received anything yet. I'm pinning stuff on Pinterest and that's it. And bought some boring maternity clothes. I'll do a registry after we find out the sex. 4. If I had $10k I would rent a really awesome house with a great pool and invite my friends to come. Not sure where. I'd probably take a vote.
I'd like to go to Iceland or Turkey, but I imagine it will be years before I'm much in the mood for real travel.
36 weeks!!!!! So excited I get my GBS test tomorrow and I may have her do a cervical check. I was kind of against them because they don't mean anything, but if she is in there anyway..... hhmmm... not really sure. We've gotten pretty much everything used and with trying to sell our house and not having a nursery it's just different. Disney again! Preferably in the "winter" and at a hotel on the monorail. The money would also cover a babysitter to come with us
1. 38w6d 2. I'm excited to be so close to the end, but wonder if I'll miss being pregnant. 3. Several homemade items for the nursery (will AW later) 4. Italy or Hawaii. Hopefully one will happen before we try for No. 2, but sadly on a tighter budget I'm sure.
2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? I'm not sleeping well, and I feel like I look so gross. Looking forward to a defined bump, in a big way.
3. What's the favorite thing you've bought or received for this baby(ies) so far? I haven't bought anything yet - we really won't need much for #2 unless we need clothes for a boy
4. If you had $10,000 for a vacation, where would you go? I think a tour of the Mediterranean would be first on my list.
2. Vent: My hemorrhoids are killing me the past few days! I don't want to be at work at all. I'm walking funny, and very slowly because I'm so uncomfortable. 3 weeks until Mat leave starts!
3. Well, it's baby girl #2, so nothing really. Poor thing. But my work did throw me a sprinkle 2 weeks ago and I got lots of diapers and wipes, which was so sweet of them.
4. I'd have to say Italy. And fly first class, which is on DH and my bucket list.
2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week?
Really starting to feel my stomach and how awkward it is to bend down, etc. Also, I normally hate burpees at Crossfit but now I loath them. Wahhh! Was hoping I had a few more weeks before this stage.
3. What's the favorite thing you've bought or received for this baby(ies) so far?
Err... we've bought nothing. My MIL sent a few things which are nice (onesies, knit cardigan and hat set).
4. If you had $10,000 for a vacation, where would you go?
We live in the UK so I'd probably use it for a long summer trip.
Really interested in Sweden and the other Nordic countries so perhaps rent a car from Stockholm and drive from there.
Or, if we're feeling burnt out with the kids, go to Club Med in the Maldives in February, put the older two in kids club/daycare and hire a nanny to help with the newborn. Was never into the all-inclusive before kids but we went to the Club Med in the Dominican with DS1 when he was 10 months and HELL YEAH, vacationing with babysitting is awesome.
1. How far along are you this week? 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? 3. What's the favorite thing you've bought or received for this baby(ies) so far? 4. If you had $10,000 for a vacation, where would you go?
1. 27 weeks
2. Sitting at the doc office drinking my glucose. Yuuuuuck.
And I just got the weight gain speech from the doc. 8 pounds in 5 weeks. Effing vacation. I was doing so well!
3. After having a boy, I'm having a grand ol' time buying clothes for this little girl. I want all of the ruffles and bows. Give me the ruffles and bows!
4. Maybe Israel since we haven't been back in almost 3.5 years! Or Hawaii.
1. How far along are you this week? 36 weeks 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? Finally started getting some freezer meal stuff ready. Back pain hasn't been as bad lately. 3. What's the favorite thing you've bought or received for this baby(ies) so far? homemade baby blanket made by a good friend 4. If you had $10,000 for a vacation, where would you go? somewhere with a beach and drinks that I can go to after I have this baby.
1. How far along are you this week? 22 weeks 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? Feeling good-- but major nesting kicking in. My husband started a fireplace remodel in the Spring that is finally starting to get wrapped up. While he is at it I feel like I am going crazy coming up with a million other things to do. Right now I haven't even started a nursery, since this is my second I know he won't even live in his room for the first few months, plus it is our guest room and finishing the guest room in the basement is another item on my to do list. I feel like we shouldn't start the nursery until the last minute since we have some guests we are still expecting before the baby needs his own room. However I am dying thinking he doesn't have his own spot yet. 3. What's the favorite thing you've bought or received for this baby(ies) so far? I found a one piece striped Carters outfit that is the same one in blue verses the pink striped one my daughter wore in her newborn photos. I am stupidly excited about them wearing the almost same outfit. lame-o party of one! haha 4. If you had $10,000 for a vacation, where would you go? A month long European tour or Bora Bora! We went on our honeymoon

1. How far along are you this week? 18weeks 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? I woke last night with a cramp in my shin, it contorted my foot into this awful position. it was rather unpleasant, and I couldn't find our roller so I ended up using DD's mini rolling pin to loosen the cramp at 2am. woo, pregnancy. 3. What's the favorite thing you've bought or received for this baby(ies) so far? I haven't bought anything. My friend gave me a few books about being pregnant with twins that I have appreciated reading. But aside from that I have not received anything yet either. which is ok. 4. If you had $10,000 for a vacation, where would you go? some place quiet, and tropical, and beachy.
2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week?
-We had our A/S scan last week and found out it's a boy!
-I'm ready to feel him move and know for sure that's what it is. I'm pretty sure I have felt him, but I think it's just been flutters.
3. What's the favorite thing you've bought or received for this baby(ies) so far?
Um, I haven't bought anything. I should probably get on that. My mom is making two blankets, and H's aunts will buy the car seat and stroller, so I'm pretty excited for those things.
4. If you had $10,000 for a vacation, where would you go? Either Europe for a while or Africa. I've never been to either, so either would be awesome.
