1. 24w6d 2. Loving feeling the baby move. I am trying to really soak it in. I am starting to get nervous about getting everything on our list done, though. Along with some anxiety about having the baby really early. Stupid brain seems like it will always be stuck on worry mode. 3. Does a prenatal massage count as "for the baby"? Haha. We haven't really bought/received too much yet but my grandma and I made some bibs that I love. 4. New Zealand (and maybe Australia/the Great Barrier Reef) is probably the top of my list. There are tons of great choices, though!

1. How far along are you this week? 14 weeks
2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? Just getting sick of the random spotting. It's so minor that I'm not too concerned, but I always think of the worst case scenario. I can't wait to feel baby moving around so I will worry less! Oh, and I think I'm officially in the 2nd tri now. Yay!
3. What's the favorite thing you've bought or received for this baby(ies) so far? We haven't actually bought anything yet and only received one thing from my parents. We told them right before they went on vacation, so they picked this up in Maryland
4. If you had $10,000 for a vacation, where would you go? Europe! Ireland, Germany, England for sure, maybe Greece too! And swing by Poland to visit MIL's cousin!
1. How far along are you this week? 6w1d today 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? I've been extremely tired. On Sunday I had a. 3-hour nap and it was glorious! I haven't had any morning sickness yet, which is great, but my boobs are out of control, lol 3. What's the favorite thing you've bought or received for this baby(ies) so far? We haven't bought or received anything yet, it's still too early... 4. If you had $10,000 for a vacation, where would you go? I always wanted to go to Hawaii.
2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week?
My back/hip is still messed up. I think it is starting to loosen up, but I still can't stand for more than a few minutes or sit at all. The good thing is the baby loves bed rest and is moving around like crazy!
3. What's the favorite thing you've bought or received for this baby(ies) so far?
I still haven't bought a ton of stuff, but my mom made a really pretty afghan.
4. If you had $10,000 for a vacation, where would you go?

1. How far along are you this week? 35 weeks 3 days
2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? My co worker who is due 5 days before me started having contractions last night. She said they felt way different than her BH so she is excited. This made shit seem REAL. I wouldn't hate going early because I feel pretty done being pregnant BUT if I go to my DD my maternity leave will bring me right to the end of the year which would be nice for PTO purposes. Vent: I am having a super hard time finding daycare. I would prefer a home daycare and I only need it 2 days a week. I wasn't in a super rush because my mom will be doing 3 days a week and we are only sending her to daycare for socialization and to give my mom some time to herself so if worse coms to worse she can do all 5 days for a while.
3. What's the favorite thing you've bought or received for this baby(ies) so far? Bought would be our glider and ottoman. Received I think would be the K'Tan (because I didn't think anyone would buy it) or a beautiful knitted blanket with DS's full name from H's cousin.
4. If you had $10,000 for a vacation, where would you go? I think Europe. Although I would want more money so I could buy all the things. 2nd place would go to Hawaii or Fiji

1. How far along are you this week? 25 weeks tomorrow 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? I finally hit a phase where I'm so.damn.tired. All I want to do is nap. 3. What's the favorite thing you've bought or received for this baby(ies) so far? Just cute clothes that my sister couldn't resist buying as soon as we found out we're having a boy. 4. If you had $10,000 for a vacation, where would you go? Ditto Europe. I've been to several countries, but there are still plenty of cities that I haven't made it to yet. I'd drink all the cappuccinos and wine.And buy lots of art to ship home.

1. How far along are you this week? 15w 1d 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? We finally finished telling all of the extended family yesterday. It was fun. 3. What's the favorite thing you've bought or received for this baby(ies) so far? I haven't bought anything since becoming pregnant but several years ago I bought bedding and some things for the nursery (Peter Rabbit from Pottery Barn). I love them. 4. If you had $10,000 for a vacation, where would you go? Either Iceland or Hawaii (lol, two different extremes, I know).
1. How far along are you this week? 31 weeks tomorrow.
2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? I had an awful case of Braxton Hicks two nights ago that lasted a little over two hours. The contractions were slightly painful and coming about every 2.5-4 minutes. They only lasted about 50 seconds, but they made it so hard to sleep! I remember this happening with my daughter, but that was at 35 weeks!
3. What's the favorite thing you've bought or received for this baby(ies) so far? I'm really loving the onesies I've bought so far
4. If you had $10,000 for a vacation, where would you go? Europe, more specifically France, England, Scotland and Ireland. I'd love to do some walking tours and enjoy some delicious food and history. My poor husband went to Paris for work and I made him promise not to go to Sacre Coeur or the Louvre because those were things I really wanted to do with him. He decided to go to the catacombs instead. Heh.
1. How far along are you this week? 27 weeks 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? Feeling good for the most part. The ridiculous heat over the weekend had my legs/feet swollen pretty bad but it was nice to just sit with my feet up. 3. What's the favorite thing you've bought or received for this baby(ies) so far? I have a few favorite outfits that I've bought. I have 2 showers in Sept. so I'm sure I'll have new favorites after that. 4. If you had $10,000 for a vacation, where would you go? Probably Europe (Italy especially). Really, I'd love to go anywhere- I've never been out of the US.
1. How far along are you this week? 8w2d 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? Still in the extremely anxious phase. And I am stupid and google what raises the chance of miscarriage after heartbeat. It seems like everything potentially could! But we did tell our families because we won't see them again until October. 3. What's the favorite thing you've bought or received for this baby(ies) so far? All we have is an "I'm a big sister" shirt that my dad bought for DD. 4. If you had $10,000 for a vacation, where would you go? Europe for a month. Obviously, I'd have to stay in pretty cheap places for $10k to last a month, but it would be worth it.
1. How far along are you this week? 29 weeks 3 days
2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? I'm starting to have trouble sleeping. Baby seems to go crazy moving all night long and I can't seem to get comfortable. I'm pretty sure he'll come out with his days/nights reversed. That will be super fun:/
3. What's the favorite thing you've bought or received for this baby(ies) so far? Some cute clothes. I've been slowly stocking up on boy clothes. 3 rd baby doesn't really need anything else.
4. If you had $10,000 for a vacation, where would you go? Hawaii.

1. 33 wks 2. happy to have gotten 1 more nursery thing off my list (replace the light fixture) thanks to my dad & DH, still need to paint the nursery... maybe next week? I've been having less heart burn, but the kid seems to have taken up kicking me in the kidneys, so that's *fun*. 3. haven't bought much - a few toys & a few new onesies/pants plus a couple boxes of diapers (when they were on sale at Target) - haven't been given anything either (second kids get the shaft). 4. either Aruba or Hawaii - probably Aruba though because the flight is shorter .
1. How far along are you this week? i will be 19 weeks tomorrow
2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? AW - I think i am starting to feel the baby move but only if i sit in h's office chair. I can't wait for my ultrasound next week.
3. What's the favorite thing you've bought or received for this baby(ies) so far? I received a pig rattle/toy from my aunt (only gift so far) but i love it because it has a crazy family back story and it makes me think of my uncle who passed away a 2 years ago. I bought a onesie that says I am told i like biking. I can't wait till it gets here (wednesday) so we can take some fun pictures and use it for our facebook announcement.
4. If you had $10,000 for a vacation, where would you go? Biking in Europe or diving in the south pacific. It's a tough hypothetical choice. I haven't been to either, but i would lean to the south pacific just because i am not sure how long some of the islands will stay islands with sea level rise.
1. 23 weeks 2. My H has been so great about working on the nursery. He's in the process of stripping and restaining the window frames/trim. 3. Favorite purchase so far is the glider. We assembled it over the weekend and I love seeing it when I walk by the guest room. 4. Mediterranean cruise with some family members.
2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? On Saturday I suddenly started to feel the peanut move a bunch. It's crazy! It sort of almost tickles but from the inside.
3. What's the favorite thing you've bought or received for this baby(ies) so far? I found a rocking horse figurine that I had growing up. I found out the one side had a teddy bear and baseball bat at the bottom indicating it was the boy side- the other side has a doll. I'm really excited to use something from my nursery!
4. If you had $10,000 for a vacation, where would you go? I'd rather have a covered patio with ceiling fans in the backyard but if it HAS to be a vacation then I would go to Europe- France, Germany, Italy and maybe England. I've never been but H studied abroad in several European countries and loved it. There's like a million things I want to see so it'd be a long vacation.
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.
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.
If it makes you feel better, I am already sad thinking about this too. I actually just said something to DH and my MIL about it last night. I'm completely enjoying this pg. I love every second of it and with our IF history, I haven't taken it for granted because I know there may never be another one.
And there is something major to be said about how there is (well, I guess "can be") another layer of feelings that develop for our DHs/SOs. I totally get it.
1. 36w3d 2. I will be surprised if I go to my due date. I am feeling like I did in my last 2 weeks of pregnancy with DS. I know every pregnancy is different and I have probably jinxed myself now, but DH is feeling it too. Every morning when he talks to the baby/belly he gives a count down to how many days it is until September. We both want baby to wait until September. This because if he/she is born at 11:59pm on 31 August then he/she legally has to start school in 2018. If he/she is born at 00:01 on 01 September then he/she has to start school in 2019. And being a SAHM we want baby at home with me as long as possible. 3. Favourite thing that we have bought - either the baby swing or my glider. I wanted both with DS, but we could not afford them then. Favourite thing we have received - only my mom has bought us anything. A dresser and a Braun ear thermometer. I love the ear thermometer. It is freaking fantastic. I recommend tgat everyone gets one. 4. We would go to America. DS asks almost everyday. He wants to go to Disney, Universal and New Jersey. Random list. And DH and I lived in Florida fir a while, it would be nice to go back and visit.

1. How far along are you this week? 18 weeks 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? My bump is looking more like a bump than just a bloated belly. I'm having a difficult time finding pants that fit. 3. What's the favorite thing you've bought or received for this baby(ies) so far? I bought a onesie with my college logo. It's the only baby thing we have so far. 4. If you had $10,000 for a vacation, where would you go? Non-pregnant, Germany or Ireland/England or Mediterranean cruise. Pregnant, Hawaii.

1. 14 weeks + 2 days
2. I went in for a quick heartbeat check today because I've been feeling so anxious. The doctor was nice and didn't treat me like a crazy person. Nice strong heartbeat too! I also can't wait until I can feel her move. Hopefully it will be reassuring.
3. We haven't purchased or received anything yet.
4. I would love to go to Greece and stay someplace really nice.
3. What's the favorite thing you've bought or received for this baby(ies) so far?
I still haven't bought a ton of stuff, but my mom made a really pretty afghan.
PIP!
I got out of bed to take this!
And I remembered I did buy something that I love, kitty rattles. I have an orange cat and a gray cat and we refer to them by color all time. When I was at IKEA, the had a package of two rattles, one orange and one gray. Love!

1. How far along are you this week? 11 weeks, 6 days 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? The nausea seems to have been a good bit less the past couple days.

1. How far along are you this week? 9 weeks 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? I meet with my OB office tomorrow. I was officially released from my RE last week. We still haven't told my ILs yet, but I had to tell one of my coworkers today. She also went through IF and recommended my RE to me. She was so supportive all last year, that I couldn't NOT tell her. So I feel a little guilty for telling a co-worker before family, but I'm trying to get over it. 3. What's the favorite thing you've bought or received for this baby(ies) so far? Um, prenatal vitamins? 4. If you had $10,000 for a vacation, where would you go? Tour of Europe... including some beach time along the Mediterranean, castles in Germany, wine and cheese in France, etc.
1. 36 weeks 2. 36 weeks (!!!) 3. We used the crap out of our BOB and A&A blankets for my DS. I haven't bought much for this baby but am excited to meet him/her and find out the sex so I can start buying ridiculous matching sibling PJs 4. Bali, Vietnam, or Thailand. No kids!!!
1. 8 weeks 2. We have our last ultrasound at the RE on Friday. 3. I visited my out-of-state ILs last week and they had a gift for me of bath stuff for me and a pregnancy calendar and ultrasound photo frame. And my mom has bought the baby a book, a stuffed animal and some pregnancy milestone cards to put in photo albums. I bought a glider already and love it. 4. I would go on a Mediterranean cruise or to Hawaii.
1. How far along are you this week? 25+1 2. Pregnancy-related AWs/vents/randoms for this week? I love feeling baby's movement which helps to keep the PGAL crazy at bay. I am definitely now showing an obvious baby bump which I love. Before I could pass it off as gaining a few pounds or chub - not anymore! I have to say this has also allowed me to bond more with baby since it seems so real now. 3. What's the favorite thing you've bought or received for this baby(ies) so far? OMG there is so much. I love it all. I would have to say it's a tie between the sheets and glider! 4. If you had $10,000 for a vacation, where would you go? Great question....Hmmm...It's a toss-up between Seychelles and South Africa.
