1. 35w3d 2. Same old - insomnia and exhaustion. 3. No maternity pictures but we will do newborn pictures. 4. We have recently started watching 24. I also like the Americans. And of course guilty pleasures like the kardashians
2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? I'm getting a little bit more of a bump. It definitely still mostly just looks like I've gained weight, but it's starting to look bump like.
3. Do you plan to/did you take maternity pictures or newborn pictures? I definitely want to do newborn pics, but I'm not sure about maternity pics yet.
4. What is your favorite TV series? Friends, NCIS, Law & Order SVU
1. 34 weeks on Thursday. 2. Our nursery is just awaiting final decorative details. It came out awesome and I can't wait to AW it . It is so delicate and feminine. 3. I would love maternity photos, but I'd rather save the money. Our hospital actually takes cute newborn photos. If we're not satisfied though, we'll arrange for a separate shoot. 4. All time Friends. Recently, Breaking Bad.
2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? I feel like I'm finally mentally prepared that this baby is coming soon. I am not dying for him to come, but I know that it is imminent. I have no freaking clue what to do, but my mom will be around to help and we can handle it. Also, I started reading The Nursing Mother's Companion and there's a lot of good information about how to hold the baby for BF, improving supply, treating irritated nipples, etc. I think it will be a great reference!
3. Do you plan to/did you take maternity pictures or newborn pictures? I skipped the maternity pictures because I don't love having my picture taken or the way I look with a baby bump. I feel like I would have been laughing nervously the whole time. We are splurging on a newborn photography package because newborns are so damn cute. Also, we have professional pictures of our dog hanging in the house, so we can't really let it look like he is more important than the baby. LOL
4. What is your favorite TV series? Ever--Friends or Sex in the City. Currently--The Mindy Project.

1. How far along are you this week? 10w 1 d 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? Vent- pregnancy insomnia sucks. I wake up at least 3-4 times per month. I never feel well rested. Also, I still have pregnancy acne. I feel so ugly. 3. Do you plan to/did you take maternity pictures or newborn pictures? I haven't given it any thought yet, really. 4. What is your favorite TV series? Comedy- Big Bang Theory; Drama- Person of Interest
2). I am at the doctor's office right now. I did my glucose test and ultrasound and am waiting to see the doctor to find out if there is still fluid on the baby's kidney. All the sugar has made baby crazy. I can see my stomach jumping!
3). Probably no maternity photos, but I would like to do newborn. I should look into the cost. We have been bleeding money lately!
4). Current-The Good Wife. Past-Friends and Gilmore Girls.
2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? We started working on the registry this weekend. We are close to it being done but still need to decide on little things and the nursery bedding. We are going with a nautical theme (DH loves boats but this was actually my idea). We have it narrowed down to two sets but one was only sold online. We ordered it so we can see it in person.
I've been browsing Pinterest for art ideas in the nursery and man, there is some CUTE nautical theme stuff! I almost wish I had done that since we don't have a theme, just colors we are using.
Yes, I keep pinning more and more things! It's amazing how much they have! And, as a bonus, they even have quite a bit of Christian and nautical themed stuff. DH was adament that he didn't want the entire room to be sailboats, etc and wants to have some Christian inspiration in the room as well...win-win to have both! In fact, there was a gender-neutral wall decor that had Jeremiah 29:11 (one of DH's favorite verses) that he really loved. He wanted to have that in the room but I told him it wouldn't go with anything (regardless of doing a nautical theme or not). It took some convincing and showing him other ideas but now he's finally on board!
2. I am so over this heat! Next time I think I'll try to time it so I give birth in the spring.
I feel like April would be great. Even though I'm having a summer baby, I'm paranoid about flu season since he won't be able to get his vaccine until February.
2). I am at the doctor's office right now. I did my glucose test and ultrasound and am waiting to see the doctor to find out if there is still fluid on the baby's kidney. All the sugar has made baby crazy. I can see my stomach jumping!
3). Probably no maternity photos, but I would like to do newborn. I should look into the cost. We have been bleeding money lately!
4). Current-The Good Wife. Past-Friends and Gilmore Girls.
Hope you get some good news about baby's kidneys. I have my u/s this afternoon and am hoping his kidneys are looking clear this time.
2. Random: I'm looking forward to my appointment on Thursday. I get to see the baby again to check my placenta and I will receive confirmation if the c-section is a go for next Thursday, the 31st.
3. I decided not to take maternity pictures, but we are having newborn pictures taken. I can't wait.
4. Hmmm...I don't think I have a favorite. I do have a favorite channel that I can watch all day and night, that is the ID channel. I love crime shows. I can even watch 48 hours straight too.

1. How far along are you this week? 20 weeks tomorrow. Holy shit. 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? I started to feel the baby move a ton last week. My favorite part of the day is to sit on the couch after work with my hands on my belly and just feel the baby moving around. This is the first time since BFP that this pregnancy has felt real....I've been blessed with little nausea, fatigue, etc. so I was reluctant to believe its actually happening. 3. Do you plan to/did you take maternity pictures or newborn pictures? Newborn yes, maternity...maybe. Depends on how fat I feel. Ha! 4. What is your favorite TV series? I love Ladies of London on Bravo, Dateline, and all HGTV shows.
1. 7w 3d 2. Aside from being way more nauseous this time than last, and the poochy gut so early, all is well 3. With DD we took maternity & newborn photos. So glad to have them. We will do our annual family photos in November, so I will be clearly pregnant, and then we will do newborn/fam photos when #2 arrives in Marchish. 4. Breaking Bad MOVED me! But, I watch the Real Housewives the most frequently, so that might be embarrassingly my favorite
1. 21+4 today 2. I had only gained 2-3 pounds up until week 20, then all of a sudden I gained like 5 pounds this week! It's depressing. I think I need to be better about watching what I eat and exercising. I know I'm supposed to gain weight, but I should be eating a little healthier than I am. I already had a little extra to spare, so I don't want to gain a lot if I can help it. 3. I think we will have one of our friends take some "maternity" pictures. He has a really good camera and just does photography for a hobby, and I think that's enough for me. I hadn't really thought about newborn photos, but I will probably want them. 4. Probably Friends
2. Random: I'm looking forward to my appointment on Thursday. I get to see the baby again to check my placenta and I will receive confirmation if the c-section is a go for next Thursday, the 31st.

NEXT WEEK!!! Aww exciting but I'm sure nervous at the same time

It's crazy how fast the time went. I honestly don't think it has sunk in yet. Hahaha!

1. How far along are you this week? 8 weeks 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? My stomach is jacked up, but other than that I'm doing good. Next doctors appointment August 14 for sonogram and bloodwork and they'll be able to tell me the sex from that (yay!) 3. Do you plan to/did you take maternity pictures or newborn pictures? Definitely newborn ones, probably not maternity ones, not really my thing 4. What is your favorite TV series? I LOVE Friends, wish it was still on, I watch a lot of reruns. Other than that, I really like New Girl, Big Bang Theory and Grey's Anatomy (yes, I still watch, loyal until the end)
2. I had my anatomy scan on Friday and the tech repeatedly used the word "prefect" with each measurement! We left that appt feeling completely over the moon! We are still team green and didn't see anything that would give us any hints!
3. I probably wont do maternity shots, they're just not my thing. I'm definitely doing newborn shots. I have already been looking at adorable Christmas themed newborn picture ideas on pinterest. I'm just hoping I can get a photographer to work with us 3 days before Christmas!
4. My all time favorite show is Friends, but out of the shows that are currently on, I like Modern Family. I'm more of a sitcom type girl. I like shows that I can watch for a half hour then find something else.
2). I am at the doctor's office right now. I did my glucose test and ultrasound and am waiting to see the doctor to find out if there is still fluid on the baby's kidney. All the sugar has made baby crazy. I can see my stomach jumping!

Hope you get some good news about baby's kidneys. I have my u/s this afternoon and am hoping his kidneys are looking clear this time.
Thanks! The doctor said there was 4mm of fluid, which is w/in the norm, so it doesn't require further monitoring. But, he is going to do another ultrasound in 4 weeks, to make sure things are still looking ok.
Next doctors appointment August 14 for sonogram and bloodwork and they'll be able to tell me the sex from that (yay!)
.
This is your NT Scan? Be prepared that they may not be able to determine the sex this early, especially if it's a girl. My tech didn't even attempt a guess at the sex, and many others don't as well, I just don't want you to be disappointed!

They check kidneys at A/S right? I had mine last week and she never mentioned them so I hope all was ok! The tech only mentioned no cleft lip (didn't even know they check for that), and that skull, spine, heart and thigh bones were all ok. I didn't really pay much attention to that part since I assumed they'd tell us if something was wrong.

Yup they noticed mine at the A/S as there could be a possible obstruction and it can be a soft marker for DS, but most of the time it resolves during pregnancy. I think it's one of those things they only mention if they are concerned about it. No other areas were mentioned by the radiologist or my OB. If I wasn't already having monthly Ultrasounds they would have had me do another one to check on it.
1. 6w5d 2. My MIL kept some of SILs maternity clothing. So she have me a bag of it this weekend. The only downfall is that most of it is shorts. I will be 15 weeks by September so I might not be able to wear it much. (There is one pair of capris and one pair of jeans though.) 3. We will do newborn pictures and I'm not sure about maternity pictures yet. 4. Call the midwife, the good wife.
1. How far along are you this week? 38w4d 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? Had my 39 week appointment this morning. A full 4 cm dilated and 80% effaced. I'm not doing as well as I would like with the waiting game. And if we decide to have more kids I will absolutely decline the internals before 39 weeks, because knowing is killing me! I expect to go in to labor every time I turn around and it's totally sucky. So I'm really trying to just enjoy the last few days of pregnancy. If she isn't here by my due date on the 31st I will go in that morning to start pitocin. The nice thing is that since I'm already dilated I won't have to go in the night before for cervidil, and I can get a epidural as soon as I like. I'm thinking at this point she is probably going to wait until induction. 3. Do you plan to/did you take maternity pictures or newborn pictures? We had a friend take some pictures of us around 13 weeks that we used as an announcement on Facebook. We will have newborn pictures done as well. 4. What is your favorite TV series? My favorite show right now is Big Bang Theory. I watch it at least once a day. My favorite show ever I think is Friends, or Law & Order.

I'm going to check out this book! Right now nursing is the most intimidating thing that is to come for me, even more so than l&d. Thanks for the rec

She didn't call it an NT Scan (I don't think, this is all so new). She said it was the blood work to test for chromosomal abnormalities because of my advanced maternal age (blech). My sister is 24 weeks pregnant and had this done and found out the sex.
Am I missing something? I'll take all the advice I can get. They said about a week after the blood work they'd have the results of the sex.
