1. 38+ weeks
2. DH left on trip this morning and is scheduled to be back Friday morning. I've been having contractions on and off and pelvic pain like I never felt with previous pregnancies. This baby better stay put. I'm feeling anxious and regretting my hubris that I'd be fine this week on my own.
3. "Exercising Through Your Pregnancy" was reassuring and motivating to keep me moving during my pregnancies.
4. Both boys will be sharing a room. It's decorated in shades of blue with white accents, and pictures of Bryce Canyon we had turned into canvases. We'll probably get some more made of Mt.Rainier, so it's not all about DS1.

1. 18w3d 2. I didn't take Unisom and B6 Thursday through Saturday; Friday I was mostly okay, but Saturday was bad and Sunday was worse. My OB reassured me today that it is fine to keep taking it if I need it, so I am. Second tri is not as magical as I was led to believe it would be! 3. A friend gave me her copy of WTE, and now I understand why everyone says it is alarmist. I wanted to like the Mayo Clinic book, but when it literally said something was a "no-no," it pissed me off -- I'm a grown-ass woman, "speak" to me like one! I do enjoy Expecting Better -- I wish she had a "first years" book looking at baby issues! 4. Our theme will be "it's a small world"; I really need to get started on procuring and crafting the decor!
Trying for #3; FET 8/18 -- BFN. Leaving things up to chance for now... After three years, three IVFs, and two FETs, we finally have our miracle babIES!

I LOVE your theme! Not sure if you remember we were talking names awhile back, but I brought up Zion as an option to H since I like it so much. It's now our possible front runner for this baby I swing back and forth between it and our other option, but lately I like it better. I feel like if I go with it, I NEED something from Zion NP in the nursery.
ETA: I hope the contractions slow down and baby stays put until your H is home!

Oh I would love an expecting better for child care!!
2. We bought the cribs and nursery bedding! Working on narrowing down paint colors.
3. I like the Pregnancy Day by Day book, it has nice photos. I haven't read much this time compared to last time.
4. We found bedding we like that coordinates. We're having a boy and a girl so that was sort of a challenge. The girl stuff is pink and grey, boy is teal and grey. Fun sheets, colored crib skirts, grey walls, white cribs. The sheets are from Buy Buy Baby by Wendy Bellissimo. I'm not sure what we're doing on the walls yet.
G22 You and your DH are outdoorsy, so I think that would be very fitting, either as a first or middle!
We have a middle name set in stone so if we go with it, it will be a first name I've definitely been leaning towards it over our other option more lately.
Morning! 1. 23 weeks today 2. i have my 1 hr glucose test next Tuesday. Tell me it's not bad! 3. I don't really have any. 4. elephants. I love elephants.
2. It is really not bad. Just chug that thing down and that's the end of that. It is really not that much liquid.

A little late on this. 1. How far along are you? 7w6d 2. Pregnancy related vents/AWs/randoms? Had a scan today where we saw a little heartbeat flickering away. 3. What are your favorite pregnancy / childcare books? I can't say I have anything. 4. Do you have a theme for a nursery or any pin-spiration to share? Something Gender neutral but not sure what at this point.
Diclegis has been awesome and allowed me to eat like a real person. I was exhausted today, but I was tired before taking it and my daughter had a 'slumber party' with me so I slept terribly.
I saw the heart beat yesterday and I am pretty thrilled. I keep walking by the pictures on the fridge to make it feel more real.
I don't have any favorite books. I have WTE and one from my insurance company called your pregnancy and childbirth. It is very factual.
No theme yet. Spent part of the day cleaning out the room.
