    2. m/s is FINALLY moving out! I am still sick some in the mornings or if I go too long without eating. But I am off the Zofran and doing much better. However, I have noticed heartburn much more now - but I'll take it over getting sick!

    4. No birthing classes since this is #2 for us, plus I am having a c-section.
    5. Just scheduled it for Feb. 19th!! So excited to see the baby and make sure everything is on track. Oh and we plan to find out the sex if possible!!
    6. We have a lot from our DD - furniture, big items. So we'll just need to fill in with bedding and clothes if we find out it's a boy (which I totally think it is). Can't wait to shop!
    7. No big plans. DD's birthday is Feb. 12 and we have her b-day party on the 13th so I know I will be exhausted from that.
    8. Had my 16w appointment last Friday and everything is "perfect" according to my doctor. Loved hearing that! Heartbeat was 144.
