How far along are you: 34.5 weeks

Due Date: 8/5

How are you feeling: I feel like I've had an "easy" pregnancy so far so I'm still feeling pretty good. I'm definitely more tired the past week or so and have had a few minor aches and pains but that's about it. I haven't been sleeping very well though and I think that's been the hardest part so far. I also really dislike feeling winded when I walk up the stairs. That just started happening this week and is super annoying.

What baby-related things are you currently working on: Yikes! We still have a TON of stuff to do/buy before the baby gets here. We did set up the Pack and Play this weekend and I washed all of the 0-3 mos baby stuff but that's about it. We still need to install the carseat, get the nursery furniture/set up, wash all of the cloth diapers and pack my hospital bag. I have a feeling most of that isn't going to happen until the week or two before my due date so hopefully he doesn't come before then!

Any advice to the other preggo ladies: Don't over do it. If your tired or your body aches when you do something, stop. Ask for help. Drink lots of water and try not to stress about the things you can't control. I hear parenting requires a lot of flexibility so I'm trying hard to practice this skill now

Yay!!!!

How far along are you: 25W 6D

Due Date: 10/6

How are you feeling: I'm in the golden trimester still, so I can't complain too much. I have been having some serious heartburn that creeps up 5-6 days a week, but I've been managing it. Otherwise shaving my legs is getting a little harder, not fun for the summer!

What baby-related things are you currently working on: Ordering decorations for the nursery. We have it painted now just need to make the walls pretty. We have classes coming up
Any advice to the other preggo ladies: Let people help. I always try to do everything myself, but sometimes I'm just too tired. It's nice to have DH cook a night or do the dishes so I can rest with my feet up.

How far along are you: 19 weeks tomorrow!

Due Date: 11/23

How are you feeling: Not bad. Pretty level headed and high energy. Which is good. Because I desperately need both of those things lately.

What baby-related things are you currently working on: Not too much this week. We find out the gender officially on Tuesday, so I'm just holding off on pretty much everything until then.

Any advice to the other preggo ladies: Wear comfortable shoes. I have now encountered two separate instances where my feet have wound up covered in blisters.

ETA: just thought of another (optional) question!

How much weight have you gained: It was 4 lbs at my 16 week visit. Not sure where I'm at now.

How far along are you: 30 weeks 4 days
Due Date: 9/2
How are you feeling: I am really starting to get big and less mobile. I have less energy and don't sleep as well. I loved being pregnant but i can see how you start to want to get the show on the road. I dream about running and jumping on a trampoline.

What baby-related things: almost finished with our Calvin and Hobbes themed nursery. Got a stroller. Getting a crib this weekend with my MIL who is visiting. very excited.

Any advice to the other preggo ladies: Get a preggie pillow (snoogle or boppy or other) it's worth it, and take a prenatal yoga class. These things have saved my life.

weight gain: 36 lbs! that's right. my doc is not concerned though so neither am i. I eat lots of nutrient rich foods.

How far along are you: 29 weeks (BTW, how many months is that? I calculate it as a little more than 6.5 because I start counting from LMP which was 12/8)

Due Date: 9/13

How are you feeling: Still feeling pretty good! The baby was moving around really high up last night which was the first time that happened and it was slightly uncomfortable. Luckily a nice long walk helped. Otherwise, I failed my one-hour glucose test and have to go for the three hour test on Saturday so I'm kind of nervous about that.

What baby-related things are you currently working on: Mostly we are trying to get some major home improvement projects ready before baby. Currently on the list - refinishing the floors and bathroom makeover. They are both pretty big projects because we (meaning DH) have to move everything to the basement for the floors and we only have one bathroom so it's going to be difficult to live without it!

Any advice to the other preggo ladies: Relax and enjoy being pregnant! The weeks just fly by!

How much weight have you gained: 20 lb. I was hoping to keep it to 25 but it looks like I'll be closer to 30. I had major weight gain around 24/25 weeks and it seems to have stabilized now, thankfully.

How far along are you: 20 wks, halfway!

Due Date: 11/18, baby was measuring a week ahead, but they didnt change my orig due date

How are you feeling: Great! Aside from the weekly migraine, I've def been feeling the golden trimester goodness!

What baby-related things are you currently working on: We're going to start the nursery this weekend And I've got an agenda to get our registry started and finished over the next month (or two! LOL)

Any advice to the other preggo ladies: take care of yourself first!

ETA: just thought of another (optional) question!

How much weight have you gained: 13 lbs at our anatomy scan at a lil past 19 wks, don't know where I'm at now since the scale at home is diff- and I haven't kept track very well. I'm pretty much on pace to gain 30-35 lbs, which I'm happy with

How far along are you: 30 weeks, 1 day

Due Date: Sept.06

How are you feeling: Pretty good, although I have had wicked leg cramps at night . . . and when my legs aren't cramping, butterbean is seriously getting her groove on! : / My hips get pretty sore after walking for a while, and my feet/ankles swell when I haven't rested enough. But I am still rockin' heels at the office.

What baby-related things are you currently working on: I need to order the wall decal for the nursery, and pick up what's left on my baby list. Oh, and I am going in for an elective u/s tomorrow afternoon!

Any advice to the others: Take it one day at a time . . . I find that my abilities and tollerances change daily, and that even when I feel like I can push myself just a little bit more, it is always better when I don't.

How much weight have you gained: 30 pounds *augh*

How far along are you: 24 weeks, 2 days

Due Date: October 17th

How are you feeling: Really good actually! My only complaint right now is heartburn and I’m dealing with it. I feel our little guy all through the day and I love it. I already love him so much!

What baby-related things are you currently working on: Getting into our new house. We’ll probably be moving in in about 2 weeks and then we can get things going. We have paint colors picked out for his room.

Any advice to the others: It’s a lot easier to accept all the changes that happen once you adjust to the idea that “Right now I’m pregnant and life is different.” Once I realized that (as obvious as that seems) it made it A LOT easier for me to not get upset over the fact that I can’t run like I did pre-pregnancy, that I need to take the time to rest, etc.

How much weight have you gained: 29 pounds

How far along are you: 9 weeks, 3 days

Due Date: 1/29, but the latest the dr will let me go is 1/18

How are you feeling: Overall good. I seem to have sidestepped morning sickness, which apparently is even more likely when you're expecting twins. Appetite is absolutely huge! I'm still trying to learn how to sleep comfortably on my side.

What baby-related things are you currently working on: Researching daycare costs for two babies - and it's really freaking me out.

Any advice to the other preggo ladies: I'm still in the process of collecting advice. None to give out just yet!

How much weight have you gained: about 6 or 7 pounds. And it's just the start!

How far along are you: 34 weeks, 4 days

Due Date: 8/2/12

How are you feeling: Ehhh. I'm getting mild cramps and Braxton Hicks every once in a while. My legs and feet are starting to swell more and my appetite is soaring back. I also get nauseous from time to time. I'm starting to feel uncomfortable now because I'm carrying my baby really low.

What baby-related things are you currently working on: Doing some DIY craft projects for her nursery, looking for a gray crib sheet that doesn't break the bank (so hard!), sewing up a some decorative pillows her room, getting ready for my baby shower this weekend!

Any advice to the other preggo ladies: Drink lots of water and put your feet up as much as possible to avoid swelling. And enjoy this time with your husband! Have nice dinners, watch movies, go for a walk together!

How much weight have you gained: 20lbs so far. I'm on track to hit 25lbs, which is the same amount I gained with my son.

@MsLipGloss: Aww thanks - I am hopeful that it might happen soon!

How far along are you: 31 weeks today

Due Date: around 8/27

How are you feeling: Random! Sometimes at night I have horrible back pain and pangs in my stomach. Other nights, I am just fine. Feet have been pretty swollen. Random bursts of energy, sometimes zapped...probably because it is a million degrees here.

What baby-related things are you currently working on: Nothing really. Our office/nursery is pretty much done. We just need a changing pad and car seat, but I have my 2nd shower tomorrow so I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Any advice to the other preggo ladies: Don't overdo anything! Take it easy and enjoy. For me, I have been bummed at how bored I've been...but I figure this is the last time in my life I will probably ever be bored...so just enjoying the moments!

How much weight have you gained: around 23-25 pounds at my 30 week appointment last week.

How far along are you: 13 weeks 5 days

Due Date: Dec 30, but as I am diabetic, I will be induced around Dec 15

How are you feeling: I'm tired of waking up uncomfortable and unrested. Work is really messing with me, and it's starting to get to me. I'm sick of being diabetic, and just found out that I am a CF carrier, so Hubs has to get tested. Plus I've acne that I've never had before!

What baby-related things are you currently working on: We're getting some stuff figured out for the registry. Plus, we've got doc appointments every 3 weeks, so we're dealing with those too.

Any advice to the other preggo ladies: Try to not stress.

How much weight have you gained: As of nearly 3 weeks ago, I am down 8 pounds. I imagine that I've gone anywhere from gaining 1 or 2 pounds from the -8, or else lost 1 or 2 more, not sure.
