2. Random - I just ate cookie the size of my head. No regrets.
3. I hope this kid gets his sense of adventure and outgoing personality.
4. I posted my announcement the other week which I liked. I'm a sucker for pg announcement videos, though. Hours and hours of my life have been lost to them. Lol
2. Vents / AWs / Randoms I had a good doctor's appt today. She is super active, and head down (so I feel like I need to pee.all.the.time. At my next appt at 34 weeks I have an ultrasound, then after that weekly checkups!
3. What trait do you hope your LO gets from your SO? His intellectual curiosity and sense of humor
4. What was your favorite way you have (or will) announced this or any other of your pregnancies? Or, if you don't have one for yourself what was a favorite that someone else did? This is our only pregnancy, but we announced to my family by putting a bandana on our dog that says "I'm going to be a big brother!" They thought it meant we were getting another dog. LOL.

1. 32wk 3d
2. My house is a hotbed of germs! . DD got sent home from school last week with the chicken pox (and she has had BOTH doses of the damn vaccine!). DS got sent home with some respiratory bug and I have been battling the sinus infection from hell for almost 2wks now. I really miss the good meds.....
DD went back to school today but I was called halfway through because she has a new rash appearing all over. WTH?! Some areas look like maybe chicken pox again....other areas look like maybe an allergic reaction....I have no clue what the heck it is but it apparently itches like crazy. Surely she isn't having another CP outbreak a week after the first.....especially being vaccinated.
Just happy this is happening now before the newest arrival!!!
3. His goofy personality. My son has his daddy's weird side and it is my favorite thing. DH doesn't care about looking stupid or what people are thinking of him.....DD and I are much more reserved and shy!
4. With DS we found out at Disneyworld so we bought mouse ears with everyone's names on them including a baby set that just said Baby #2. We lined them up on a wall at Epcot with the ball and fountain behind it for a photo. I changed my FB cover photo to it with the caption "dreams really do come true...". It still makes me smile
sookie If my baby comes on time (yeah, right) we'll have babies within a few days of each other
I'm sorry to hear that your H might miss the birth. Not sure of your support system but my midwife mentioned that there are doulas who help out no-charge if a spouse is deployed. Maybe you could inquire where you're seen if that's offered in your area?

Thanks Aquatica. He should be home in time, and thankfully we found out baby is head down so no need to worry about doing an ECV and potentially putting myself into labor even earlier. He's only a few hour plane ride from home, so if I go into labor on my own before he comes home the military is going to send him back as quickly as possible. He never fully unpacked just in case.

1. How far along are you? 13w1d - last week of 1st tri!
2. Vents / AWs / Randoms Had our NT scan on Friday and I think the u/s was fine. Of course I missed a call from the nurse today with a "please call us back" message and I'm going worst case nelly over here.
3. What trait do you hope your LO gets from your SO? Physical? I'd love another blue eyed baby
4. What was your favorite way you have (or will) announced this or any other of your pregnancies? Or, if you don't have one for yourself what was a favorite that someone else did? I loved our first just because it was so long in the making and we used a baseball/softball theme since that's how we met in college. We continued the tradition this time with Bunny holding a softball wearing a "best big sister" shirt.
1. How far along are you? 11w5d with baby number 3. First is a little over 2. Second is 11 months.
2. Vents / AWs / Randoms - I am more nervous about gender this time than I was the other times around. I still have another month to go until I find out. I have been more anxious and moody this pregnancy in general. I am possibly going to mention it at my appointment next week, but not sure that it might just be situational due to other stuff going on in our lives.
3. What trait do you hope your LO gets from your SO? Work ethic and calm demeanor
4. What was your favorite way you have (or will) announced this or any other of your pregnancies? Or, if you don't have one for yourself what was a favorite that someone else did? To tell family and close friends we typically just come out with the news. This time around we want to make a cute fb post since we didn't with our other two. We are posting next week with a "valentine's poem."

We're going be birth buddies (in a totally non-creepy way)!
1. How far along are you: 11w5d
2. Vents / AWs / Randoms: I'm on second shift so I get to sleep in as long as I want for 2 weeks, but I am on second shift so I don't get to leave until 10-1030 PM :l
3. What trait do you hope your LO gets from your SO? His ability to research everything. I get annoyed doing research H will read for weeks. Also his dimples
4. What was your favorite way you have (or will) announced this or any other of your pregnancies? Or, if you don't have one for yourself what was a favorite that someone else did? We gave his parents onsies and they didn't get it. I am not sure what we will do...
2. Vents / AWs / Randoms Had our NT scan on Friday and I think the u/s was fine. Of course I missed a call from the nurse today with a "please call us back" message and I'm going worst case nelly over here.
I swear, nurses should be required to start voice mails with EVERYTHING IS FINE! before "please call us back". I get why they can't , but still....it would be nice.

And please also tell me why they *have* to call at 4:25 and the office closes at 4:30?!? No. Someone should be there just for panicked phone calls until 5 dammit.

I received two "please call us back asap" nurse messages that turned out to be "we'd like you to take a b12 supplement". One was right after my nt scan - not cool!
damn NT scan. Mine was Friday so I'm sure that's why they're calling.
2. Vents / AWs / Randoms mostly over my sinus infection but still having sinus issues. Tired but more energy spurts than before. Making good progress on the nursery!
3. What trait do you hope your LO gets from your SO? His intelligence. He knows so much crap.
4. What was your favorite way you have (or will) announced this or any other of your pregnancies? Or, if you don't have one for yourself what was a favorite that someone else did? I've liked a lot of them that we did with my family and ILs. This time it's fun seeing reactions when we tell people it's triplets!
2. Vents / AWs / Randoms I'm ready to have this baby! I'm getting a few contractions at night, they wake me up, but so far this morning, nothing. I have a regular appt on Thursday but who knows if I'll actually go into labor before that.
3. What trait do you hope your LO gets from your SO? He's way more laid back and stress free than I am so I hope she gets some of that.
4. What was your favorite way you have (or will) announced this or any other of your pregnancies? Or, if you don't have one for yourself what was a favorite that someone else did? I like what we did. We did a photo shoot. We had the tech write it down and stick it in an envelope and then gave that to our friend/photographer. It was a girl so she put pink paint in black bottles so we didn't know the color. We squirted the paint on each other and found out that way. We then used those pics to announce on FB.
2. Vents / AWs / Randoms Starting to feel better, now that I'm out of first tri. My energy is mostly back & my nausea is gone. I just wish I could sleep!
3. What trait do you hope your LO gets from your SO? DS already is so much like DH, it's crazy. He definitely got his intelligence & street smarts. And stubborness. I just hope this one doesn't get his eyebrows lol
4. What was your favorite way you have (or will) announced this or any other of your pregnancies? Or, if you don't have one for yourself what was a favorite that someone else did? We had extended family pictures scheduled, so I had our photog take a few of N in his big brother tshirt (pic in sig). That's what we used to fb announce.
2. Vents / AWs / Randoms: I need more pants. I literally have one pair of maternity pants. That is not going to cut it. My last pregnancy, I didn't need pants until the beginning of my second trimester, by then it was warm enough to get by on dresses.
maternity leggings are THE SHIT. i have a pair from ON and a pair from kohls, and they are the best thing ever.
I don't want to go back to regular pants...ever! lol

1. 22+5
2. Sitting in the airport waiting to board our flight home from our cruise. It was a really nice vacation and I'm a little sad to go home.
3. Probably his smarts, maybe also his good strong metabolism, he never has to worry about watching his weight.
4. I've had a lot of angst around getting and staying pregnant so announcements have always been more anxiety inducing than anything else. This time I posted a fun pic on FB at around 17 weeks, it was nice to receive the kind words of congrats from everyone.

Are you going to have 3 under 3? good for you!
My first time quoting so I hope I do this right. Yep! They will all be under 3 for 3 months. I know it seems crazy, but we always wanted our kids close together.

Yay birth buddies!! You can steal our announcement idea for Valentine's Day! Thinking something along the lines of "Roses are red, violets are blue, the secret is out, a baby is due"
