I don't think I've seen this posted yet today!


1. How far along are you?



2. How are you feeling?



3. Are you having/had a baby shower this pregnancy? Anything specific you need/want for this baby?


4. Pregnancy vents/randoms


And special shout-out to @supergreen on her last Friday posting in this thread! Good luck on Monday! We'll all be sending good birth vibes your way!

1. 15 weeks
2. Pretty good. Still tired many evenings. But I figure I'm going to be tired for at least the next year of my life!
3. I don't think so. It's my third kid and we basically have everything we need. I didn't have a shower for #2 either since it was my second boy and they were only 20 months apart. I do need/want a bassinet or a rock n play for this baby. The bassinet was the only baby gear thing I got rid of.
4. This pregnancy is going by soooooooo sloooooow!

11w2d

Feeling ok! Just some food aversions at this point.

No shower this time around, though my work may throw a very small one. We need just a few things - new bottle nipples and pacis, glider for the nursery, second monitor, crib mattress. And diapers!

I told work this week and am telling my good friends this weekend. Also bowing out of the wedding

1. 12w1d

2. Great again. At around 10 weeks I was feeling like shit for a few days but thankfully that's been long gone.

3. No shower. I bought a new pump and nursing supplies already with my FSA money after I left my prior job a few weeks ago. Other than that, we've got what we need for the most part, including gender-neutral clothes from when I was Team Green last time since we're Team Green again this time.

4. After my appointment on Monday we will start sharing the news with the world. I did tell my (new) bosses early this week and they took it well.

[ladygrey]

1. 10w4d

2. Great - the nausea and fatigue has really subsided. Also it's been beautiful here so I've been able to walk outside every day this week. It's amazing what some exercise and fresh air can do.

3. Second kid, so no shower. We'll need to buy a few essentials (new pacifiers & bottles, and maybe a double stroller), but it should be minimal spending for #2.

4. We told my parents on Sunday (DD walked in wearing a "big sister" shirt) and they are just over the moon. They are such amazing grandparents and so involved in DD's life; I know they are thrilled about having another grandbaby on the way.

[sjh722]

1. How far along are you? 37w+3d

2. How are you feeling? ALL DONE. (Actually, mostly okay. But I threw up again this morning in line for the car wash. And have been going to the bathroom constantly.) Also, a lot of pelvic pressure last night and today. Maybe the baby is figuring out that it is time to move toward the exit.

3. Are you having/had a baby shower this pregnancy? Anything specific you need/want for this baby? No shower. I need to order a couple of things, but I'm waiting until we know if it's a boy/girl.

4. Pregnancy vents/randoms I am taking complete and full advantage of the one time in my life that I seem to be able to eat whatever and not gain weight. I had McDonald's breakfast (that got thrown up), and for lunch, a diet coke, a piece of cake, and some chips. I have not gained weight in 4 weeks and I'm almost 38 weeks. IDGAF.

Good luck on Monday, @supergreen!

[krystee]

1. 36.5 weeks
2. I am feeling pretty good! Lots of crotch pain, but I am used to it now.
3. I had two, and they were so much fun! We have so much baby stuff!
4. I get my induction date next Friday. Assuming nothing changes, it will likely be 3/30. I can't wait!

[gibbylod]

1. How far along are you? 22w5d

2. How are you feeling? Good. A bit tired but I think that's to be expected when you're trying to take care of a toddler and making a human at the same time. 

3. Are you having/had a baby shower this pregnancy? Anything specific you need/want for this baby? MIL said she was throwing us a shower. I told her I didn't really need anything but she insisted. 

4. Pregnancy vents/randoms. Nothing much pregnancy-wise. Just random: I hate being without a car. We sold ours to get something more practical for our growing family but it sold too fast and our new car doesn't get here till end of May! So another 2.5 months with no car! Sucks... (Only plus side: We are saving tons on gas!)

[humpforfree]

1. 10w3d
2. Better. Still exhausted in the afternoons (but not able to sleep!), but not nauseous.
3. No shower. I have a list of small things to get (another monitor camera, new thermometer, another miracle blanket, etc) but nothing that big. I'm trading my single bob with my friend for her double since her oldest doesn't like to ride anymore. I guess we are going to get a minivan, so does that count? Lol.
4. Two weeks until my first tri scan.. Can't wait to see the baby again and get some more confirmation/proof and then tell the world. I feel like I'm already starting to show enough that it would be super obvious to anyone we haven't told yet...

[Deleted]

1. 10 weeks, 6 days
2. I was feeing a little better (dicigles takes the edge off nausea but still there) and then was up for an hour MOTN feeing queasy last night. IDK what that was. Still tired.
3. No shower unless one of the cousins decides to throw me a sprinkle. We really don't need much EXCEPT I did get rid of a lot of clothes already. And the jumperoo. I'll probably buy a new diaper pail and maybe try glass bottles again.
4. DH is convinced that DS will need to transition to big boy bed before I dliver but he'll only be 25 months and I don't want to eff with sleep. However I don't really want to buy another crib if he climbs out in 2 weeks, kwim? FWP

[karinothing]

1. 19 weeks 4 days.

2. I am feeling pretty good, having a little bit of tailbone pain if I get down on the floor to play with DS, but other than that good. Starting to get a bit akward to put on boots and what not (expecially wearing skinny jeans) lol.



3. No baby shower - I want a new backpack diaper bag


4. Mentioned this in regular randoms, but had our anatomy scan this week. It went well. Feeling the baby moving all the time, which is exciting and just like DS.

Thanks turtlegirl! As you said, this is my LAST FFF post b/c I give birth ON MONDAY! Hollah!

1. How far along are you? 39 weeks! RCS on Monday!

2. How are you feeling? Same as always. Hungry as hell but can't eat what I want b/c of GD. Painful legs keep me up all night. I'm fucking HUGE.


3. Are you having/had a baby shower this pregnancy? Anything specific you need/want for this baby? Yes I had a small shower. I didn't get much of what I needed though. Mostly knick knacks and clothes I bought what I needed.


4. Pregnancy vents/randoms. Everywhere I go, people say "holy cow look at you!" Yes, this is what a full term pregnant belly looks like. The baby bumps you see on TV are like 28 weeks, not 39.

Thanks farmvillelover and sjh722!

[runblondie26]

1. How far along are you?
 15 weeks


2. How are you feeling?
Ok, I had 3 great days in a row, folloed by 2 with the worst nausea and vomiting this pregnancy. Nope, guess I'm not out of thw woods yet!


3. Are you having/had a baby shower this pregnancy? Anything specific you need/want for this baby?
Just a new infant carseat since our old one has expired. And I'll probably buy a ton of clothes and baby shoes anyway. They are hard to resist. Plus, my last two were cold weather babies, so the seasons will be a little off. Total justification. 

The season will be a little off with this baby too.
4. Pregnancy vents/randoms
All our genetic testing came back good. Phew. Considering we went went for the microarray, in addtion to the karyotype, I thought they might find something since it's such a high resolution test .

[Susie]

1. How far along are you? 3w5d

2. How are you feeling?  Tired, but normal, and still mostly in disbelief.

3. Are you having/had a baby shower this pregnancy? Anything specific you need/want for this baby?  Have not thought about it yet.

4. Pregnancy vents/randoms  None yet!

[oswin]

1. How far along are you? 25w4d

2. How are you feeling? Soooo much better than last week, not being sick anymore is amazing.

3. Are you having/had a baby shower this pregnancy? Anything specific you need/want for this baby? Not that I know of, I'm not expecting one. And there's not much we'll need, I guess we'll need to figure out the baby monitor situation.

4. Pregnancy vents/randoms. I'm getting closer to third tri, which is exciting just because I already feel like I've been pregnant forever. I feel like I've got a fairly respectable bump now, but apparently it's not as glaringly obvious as I feel like it is since people at my workout class are still expressing surprise on finding out that I'm pregnant, like they couldn't tell just by looking.

I've been thinking about this too since DD will be ~24 months when this baby is born. I think we will end up buying a big girl bed for her and moving her into her new bedroom later this summer because of not wanting to buy a second crib that may not see much use. I'm afraid of it effing up her sleep for a while but I figure it will be better to (hopefully) go through some sleep issues and have them resolved before a newborn comes along and effs up our sleep even more!

I think we are not going to get another crib or transition before baby gets here. L will be 20 months. He slept in our room until 4.5 months in the rnp and then pnp. I figure we will get him into a real bed before we move the baby out of our room if he isn't ready to ditch the crib yet then (2ish yo), the baby can keep sleeping in the pnp in its new room until L is done with the crib. He's usually been pretty good with transitions though, so I've got my fingers crossed.

[sjh722]

@republicrat and Velar Fricative, we moved DD at about 23.5 months into a twin. (She's tall, and I didn't want to buy toddler bedding + another crib mattress or a second crib. I'm cheap.)

The first nap was rough. After that, she was totally fine and stayed in there for naps/night every night for a week. Then DST happened and she figured out she could open the door the same week, so we had about 4-5 really shitty nights this past week, but we got a cover for her doorknob and she's adjusted to the time change a bit, so (knock on wood) it seems to be fine. I wanted to make sure she was moved and settled in there before the baby came. We made it by about 2 weeks - 5 weeks, lol, depending on when the baby decides to come.

[countthestars]

CONGRATS Susie!!

[mcfelix]

humpforfree - congrats! I must have missed when you posted before.

1. How far along are you?
17 weeks

2. How are you feeling?
Good! Over the stomach virus my son gave me and back to eating normally.

3. Are you having/had a baby shower this pregnancy? Anything specific you need/want for this baby?
Nope, this is baby #2. We need nursery furniture and that's pretty much it. I'll borrow a rock and play and co-sleeper from friends. If I don't find a bouncy seat to borrow, I'll buy one of those. I already have a ton of clothes - one friend traded with me (she has a girl and is about to have a boy) and then I also bought a ton from a girl on a local moms board. And I'll still keep shopping sales, of course!

4. Pregnancy vents/randoms
No real vents right now. We hope to plan a Saturday when my parents can come watch DS and we can go nursery furniture shopping. I'm excited to figure out how we'll decorate baby girl's nursery!

I'm also thinking of transitioning DD to a big kid bed before the baby comes, but it terrifies me. It's much sooner than I had thought of doing it and I don't know if she'll be ready. But like you, I don't want to buy another crib for such a short time of use. I'll let you know how it goes if we do decide to go through with it 

[pippa]

1. 23 weeks, 2 days.

2. Good! I definitely am starting to get bigger.

3. No. Baby #2. We need a few things, but can resuse our big stuff. We already moved DS to a big bed, so the crib is ready for baby. We will need a dresser and lots of clothes because I have none.

4. I have to REPEAT my 1 hour glucose test! Apparently, they tested me too late but too early. For second pregnancies, my practice likes to test early if you had GD the first time. But someone messed up and they missed the window, so now I have to do it again at the normal timing. So annoying. I passed it once, so hopefully I can pass it again.

[pinkpeony08]

1. How far along are you? 36 weeks, 1 day

2. How are you feeling? Tired. My pelvis and hips are sore, especially at night. I wake up at night and in the morning feeling like they are not connected at all in the back. The worst is when I sneeze before I get out of bed- so painful!


3. Are you having/had a baby shower this pregnancy? Anything specific you need/want for this baby?
No shower this pregnancy, although having an informal celebration at work. Long story, but need a new crib. Also borrowed all the newborn clothes from a friend last time so basically have none.


4. Pregnancy vents/randoms
Also stressed because I had an ultrasound 2 weeks ago found the baby is measuring one week small... now I need to have weekly BPP tests and every other week growth measurements. I'm really anxious about being induced early as I had such a great med free delivery with my first, and I'm afraid I won't have that opportunity this time.

[t]

I'm 26w5d.
Feeling pretty good. Indigestion is still there and I anticipate it will only become more pronounced. Sleep is becoming an issue.
I doubt I will have a shower. Perhaps a surprise sprinkle but I prefer not. We have mostly everything we need from DD. And it's all gender neutral.
I am having really weird dreams.

Congrats Susie and good luck @supergreen!!

[longtimenopost]

Thank you for posting! We had a looooong day of travel home from the ILs in Denmark yesterday. 14 hours on a plane with a toddler and 30 minutes of sleep...

I'll be 15 weeks this week! Feeling good, ready to start feeling movement which historically has been around 16 weeks for me.

I wish they would give us a loaner, but things don't work like that here unfortunately. I have been without a car since beginning of February, and I've managed so far. But 2.5 more months like this seems impossible. There are a bunch of things I need to take care of and trying to do them by bus with a baby while pregnant just seems impossible. Ugh
