  1. 1. How has 2nd tri been? Is it really the "honeymoon trimester"? Not too bad
    2. Any new symptoms (or disappearing symptoms) this week? nope
    3. Have you felt any movement yet??? Where is it located? (high, low, left, right, etc.) Still pretty low
    4. Have you picked out your nursery colors/theme? Have you started getting anything ready yet? (Painting, Crib set up, clothes washed, etc.) We painted our nursery a creamy off white and kind of a dusty rose pink. I put all of the furniture together a couple weeks ago. And this past week I got the letters for her name, DH painted them, I put on the bows, and he hung them up.

  11. 1. So far so good for me. I have a major itch to organize and get things ready!
    2. Braxton hicks started a few weeks ago. I never had them this early with my first pg.
    3. LO is pretty active - I love that I am feeling her more now. Mostly low and to the left but it's starting to spread out.
    4. We have everything from DD #1 that we will be using for this baby. All the furniture and bedding will be reused. We still have to paint since we moved. Her room will be pink and brown. No real theme but some butterfly prints, polka dot sheets, etc.
    5. Team PINK! Can't wait for DD #1 to have a sister!
    6. Not registering this time since it's our second but with our first the FP papasan swing was a lifesaver and I also recommend sheet savers for the crib!

    Hope everyone is feeling good. I love seeing all the "Team..." announcements!

  12. 1. Not too bad, definitely easier than the first except for having to find new clothes. You think there would be a bigger market for maternity clothes!
    2. Sore upper back today and what feels like a stitch on my right side like when I'm exercising.
    3. He is very active and all over the place. Just depends on what time of the day it is whether he is high or low.
    4. Yep! We are doing dinosaurs and painting the walls a light green. We can't start decorating though until after family visits later this month.
    5. Team blue!
    6. We have registered and my favorite place is Amazon. They have everything you could ever want plus a universal registry button where you can register for things from other sites.
    7. I can't believe how fast this is going!

  13. 1. How has 2nd tri been? Is it really the "honeymoon trimester"?

    I don't think there is any "easy" part of pregnancy.

    2. Any new symptoms (or disappearing symptoms) this week?

    No

    3. Have you felt any movement yet??? Where is it located?

    Yes, lots since 13 weeks but I can now feel it on the outside. Always lower.

    4. Have you picked out your nursery
    colors/theme? Have you started getting anything ready yet?

    Not yet but probably this weekend!

    5. What team are you on?? We found out this morning we are having a girl!!

    6. Have you registered? Where and what's your FAV. must have registry item?

    Yes since this is a second baby I really only need girl clothing and some miracle blankets.

  15. . How has 2nd tri been? Is it really the "honeymoon trimester"? Has been much better than the first, that is for sure
    2. Any new symptoms (or disappearing symptoms) this week? My m/s decided to come back a week and a half ago..not as bad as the first go around, but un-enjoyable all the less
    3. Have you felt any movement yet??? Where is it located? (high, low, left, right, etc.) Yup, all the time. Can not wait for DH to feel her, too
    4. Have you picked out your nursery colors/theme? Have you started getting anything ready yet? (Painting, Crib set up, clothes washed, etc.) Yes, our furniture is being delivered tomorrow!! We had to gear up fast and paint the nursery this past weekend, because the furniture is not going to take as long as originally anticipated. Can not wait to start decorating the nursery now. Not doing a theme, but is super girly, and something she will like as she gets older
    5. What team are you on?? Team pink, team blue, team green, or team anxiously awaiting!? PINK
    6. Have you registered? Where and what's your FAV. must have registry item? We registered at BRU and Target for ease of family and friends across country. My must have is the video monitor
