thanks! Its the start of the nursery! We are doing top navy and bottom white separated by chair rail moulding! We are doing a sailor theme because my husband was in the navy. So, we have some cool decorations like a boat steering wheel, an oar, a ship and we are putting his navy uniform and medals in a frame to hang up

Great idea. Back at the home we own in IL DH used acrylic paints to paint a dead tree over where we had the changing table (baby poop smell kills trees you know!). He also painted a sun and clouds on the ceiling and a huge living tree at the head of the crib. The really neat thing is DH has 20 miniature airplanes so we used hooks and fishing line to hang them from the ceiling in formation (Russian MIGs against American fighter planes). It was so cool but I never got pictures of it before we moved out. Now his cousin is renting from us but he has a hard time keeping a job so we might have to kick him out in December when I move back to IL.

Thanks, we had planned to paint a pond on one wall with fish, a lion, and a giraffe near the door frame which would have been a growth chart and so cute!

Jaime - I am so loving the nursery so far! It is going to look amazing when it is finished! We have decided on Finding Nemo for our theme even though it has a lot of blue in it! I am also in love with the name Blake too! All the names I like I could never get OH to agree to... he doesn't like real popular names but he doesn't like older names either... If this baby is a boy then he might be a while before he gets a name!

May - It's so frustrating when people contradict themselves... like wtf? She must be just in it for the pay check! I can't wait until you get your BFP! As for your OH - hats off to him! Like Krystina said, my OH would never do it either. lol. Hope everything starts looking up real soon!

I'm starting to freak out. I did my Beta #3 today and haven't heard back with the number yet. They have never called past 4. I'm scared that something is wrong. I really want it back before the weekend. I'll be so worried for the next 2 days.

 

[alleysm]

Call them!!!

 

[snowflakes120]

The nurses have a message on the phone that says calls after 3 will be returned the next business day. It's past 4 now.

 

[alleysm]

Noooooo!!!

 

[snowflakes120]

Phewwwww.

HCG is 532 (up from 185 on Wed) but Progesterone went down to 26 (from 29 on Wed). They are going to have the RE look everything over and they will call me Monday with what the next steps will be.

 

[mammaspath]

[krystinab]

Yaaaaaaa Lisa!! Your Numbers a great!

 

[snowflakes120]

Nurse called back again. 1st Ultrasound is 10/12 @ 8am. I will be a little over 7 weeks. RE isn't worried about the Progesterone levels. I can call the nurses and do more Betas/Progesterone tests if I want. They will just draw up the paperwork. I may do one once a week til the U/S for more piece of mind bc I am such a nutcase. 3 weeks til 1st ultrasound!

My son's nickname was Gummi Bear. Spelled that way after the German people who made his favorite song (Gummy bear song on youtube).
