  1. 1. I am 14 1/2 weeks!
    2. I have a cold so that is not helping at the moment! I do have headaches but the constipation seems to be gone, still eating lots and my energy is coming back!
    3. My biggest plan for 2010 is to get organized and get on track financially!
    4. We are signed up for a one day birthing class at our hospital on May 1st!
    5. We haven't bought anything yet, but "baby" got several gifts at Christmas time from family members! It made it seem so real!
    6. We are having the BIG U/S on February 5th when I am 19 weeks! Can't wait, DH and I are both bringing our moms with us!
    7. I am feeling so uncomfortable in my clothes and need to go maternity clothes shopping ASAP! Getting ready for work this morning was NOT fun after being in sweats for the last two weeks! :)

    4. Hmmm... I should probably start thinking about that!!
    5. Nope... we're currently trying to figure out how to fit everything into our one-bedroom apt. Gotta do some house cleaning and make some goodwill trips before we can add to the mess!
    6. Doc said it will be right at 20 weeks - I can't wait!!
    7. Sequential screen is tomorrow morning, and I have my 2nd appointment with my OB on Jan 11. Can't believe how fast the time has gone since my last visit!

  4. 1. 12 weeks. I can't believe I am almost to the second trimester.
    2. I feel pretty good this week. I still have this gross metalic taste in my mouth and I fear that I am going to have that through the whole pg.
    3. 2010 I plan on getting back on track with my finances, 2009 sucked in that aspect.
    4. Thank you for reminding me, I keep thinking about how I need to go and sign up for it. The one my hospital has is a 6 class schedule and it goes over everything.
    5. Stroller and a car seat (we didn't do a travel system) and my mom ordered our crib yesterday
    6. Big U/S should be February 2nd.
    7. I just can't believe I am almost to the second Tri, I feel like that makes me officially pregnant for some reason. Also, it's realy cool to see DH at BRU playing with everything. We walked through the clothes isle and he found a pair of little shoes that looked like chucks and he said 'we have to buy these'. It was so sweet.

    1. What week/trimester are you in now? 2nd Tri, 14.5 weeks.
    2. Any new symptoms (or disappearing symptoms) this week? Not a whole lot of symptoms anymore. Just the random queasiness that decides to pop up. And my fatigue is better than it was. I actually got some stuff done this past weekend!!
    3. What is your biggest plan for 2010 (other than obvious!)? Not sure...Haven't really thought about much else! Lol!
    4. Have you started thinking about any child birthing classes? Which ones are you taking?? We will be taking a basic childbirth prep class that includes a tour of the hospital beginning 5/9 and ending 5/30 (our 1st anniversary!).
    5. Have you bought anything yet for the LO?? We bought a Play Yard that was on super clearance and I bought a sleeper over the weekend. And last night DH and I decided on a crib, even though we won't be buying it for at least a couple of months.
    6. Have you scheduled the "Big" U/S?? Or are you going team Green!? My next u/s is 2/22 and I'll be amost 22 wks along. But since I'm an u/s tech, I get to peek quite often :)
    7. Anything else you want to share???

    3. What is your biggest plan for 2010 (other than obvious!)?
    We are finishing our basement in our house – we would love to have this done by July so we can move all of DD’s toys down there and have her own space to play.

    4. Have you started thinking about any child birthing classes? Which ones are you taking??
    I am not taking any but this is my second. I took one with DD and a breastfeeding class. I will be having a scheduled c-section so no need this time!

  20. 1. What week/trimester are you in now? We're 11w1d today (Monday)
    2. Any new symptoms (or disappearing symptoms) this week? Just the lovely bout of constipation, but 2 colace a night seems to be helping.
    3. What is your biggest plan for 2010 (other than obvious!)? Too early to say much yet!
    4. Have you started thinking about any child birthing classes? Which ones are you taking?? I actually have thought about it since this is the first for DH and I didn't take official classes last time.
    5. Have you bought anything yet for the LO?? Heck ya! Found an awesome deal on Craigslist for a crib/dresser/mattress. Also have a glider/rocker.
    6. Have you scheduled the "Big" U/S?? Or are you going team Green!? We're not scheduled for ours yet, but I'm thinking it will be at the end of February or first part of March. Definitely want to be Team Blue or Pink....I have to know.

  21. 1. 14 weeks and 1 day. Baby is ahead of the game though--should be 15 weeks today per last u/s on 12/31/09.
    2. Recurring headaches! So unfair, since I still have m/s.
    3. Get my house together--physically put together and my financial cards in place.
    4. Want to take Lamaze or Bradley, a class on breastfeeding and pumps, preparing pets, Newborn care 101, Infant CPR...all in all, possibly 5 classes!!!!
    5. We bought a giant stuffed Boston Terrier which we christened "Mongo" at PBK on 12/31/09, right after our u/s where we found baby was trending large for his/her size.
    6. Since baby got too big for a NT scan, we're probably going to have another special scan around week 18. I'm hoping they can tell me the gender at that point.
    7. Since my original EDD is 7/4/09 and baby is getting big for its size, my current trend towards a due date is June 28th. That means I could end up a June mama if things keep progressing!!!! Did my hospital tour yesterday (Brigham & Women's Hospital, Boston) and am glad this is out of the way since it answered some of our questions.
