EDD: 3/12
How Far Along? 11w
Rants? Still nauseated, unisom+b6 helps a bit. Cooking is awful. Intense aversions and cravings.
What are you most excited about? Names, kinda.
A is really loving our grandparent-parent-lastname name technique. I'm not totally amped about any remaining first names except Matilda. But H and M have french names... it seems out of place, maybe? Mathilde is a bridge too far, I think.
I think we need to branch out a bit.

- EDD: 9/26
- How Far Along? 35 weeks
- Rants? I'm tired all the time, and it's hard to drive. MH is sympathetic somedays to how uncomfortable I am and other days is oblivious.
- What are you most excited about? Holding him or her and being loaned an entire NB CD stash this time around. The grovia nb aio are some of the cutest things I've ever seen!

ovenrack I just need to let it be known how much I love Matilda. Same here! It was high on my list for one of the twins but DH vetoed it. |

EDD:Thanksgiving
How Far Along? 27 weeks
Rants? not gaining weight is so hard this time around! Dr. was very proud that I only gained a little less than a pound at my last appt. But it's hard because it's summer and there is ice cream and crazy schedules and not being home for all my meals.
I'm also worried about going back to work in a week and a half. My boys were delivered in the summer, so I never worked when I was full term. I'm slightly afraid of going into labor at work.
What are you most excited about? newborn cuddles and finding out if it's a boy or girl. I had an awful dream last night this baby came out able to sit up and walk. I was so upset.

Edd: 1/23
How far along? 18wks
Rants: tiredness and overall feeling like blah. I don't remember being like this with B, but I was also working full time so maybe I was distracted.
Excited about: we have our ultrasound on Monday! Hopefully get to see if it's a boy or girl. Starting to think about names.

EFF 1/17
How far along: 19 weeks today
Rants: I'm frustrated that I have too pee so freaking often, and that I already have trouble sleeping (on top of A still not sttn) it's frustrating that nursing hurts so much, but I don't want her to stop because I know she needs that connection. Also, I've officially grown out of pre pregnancy clothing. I feel like it's way too soon for that.
Excited about: we hopefully will find out boy/girl Saturday! Names are picked, I just can't wait to make it official. Also, it's super cool that I'm feeling a ton of movement already. I had an anterior placenta with A and didn't feel any movement for a long time.

EDD: 3/21
How far along? 9 weeks
Rants: Still nauseous and my boobs are so, so tender. B is still nursing twice a day usually and has no desire to stop. It's torturous, really.
What are you most excited about? I'm not excited to tell everybody but I'm excited for it to not be a secret anymore, if that makes sense.
I am not excited to try to pick out a name. We had such a hard time before.

I don't know anything about either of those, but I bought a basic manual pump last time around and it was amazing! It was so much easier to use quickly, and I got more milk (I don't respond too well to a pump) I only work part time and both my kids only ate one side at a time so it was a perfect fit. |

My sister has one and a lot of people in my FB BF Support group use it. from what I understand, it works well if you already leak, as it is providing some suction but mostly just catching the letdown on that side while you nurse from the other side. If you're just looking to build up a little freezer supply, it works well for a lot of people to get an ounce or two at a time. It would not replace a manual or electric pump if you needed to empty your boobs because you were away from baby for an evening or something. |

I have replaced my very nice double electric with a Avent manual pump. It's easier and takes less time. I highly recommend it. I used the Medela manual pump and it was fine, but it has a ton of tiny little parts that often break and can't be bought separately. It's dumb. |

I'm planning on using the Haakaa (there are a bunch of different brands with good reviews - all the same style) mostly this time around. I still have my electric from 3.5 year ago, but with M I eventually borrowed a manual which worked great.

EDD: 4/7/2018 How Far Along? 8 weeks Rants? Nausea has set in for the past week or so. It's not as intense as it was with L, but it's still uncomfortable. I'm eating tons of cereal in an effort to keep it at bay, since I'm also hungry all the time. What are you most excited about? I get a dating ultrasound on September 5 so I'm looking forward to that! I also just sent my husband out to get me a blizzard  |

We went for our ultrasound today. The woman before use found out she was having her sixth girl, and the joke was it was a girly day... but there is no doubt, we are having a boy! He was extremely cooperative lol. I am in shock, I was so certain we would be having a third girl, but I guess it's time to buy some boy print diapers (or at least some that aren't pink haha)
