Yea that's the fun part!! Lmao!!!

How much cash n gift cards u ended up getting? ?

I still got 250 from her shower I'm going Tuesday and finish everything..

So it's cold here today!! I have the heater on!!!! It's 56 degrees I know that's not freezing but it's enough so I can get that stinky smell off my heater coils

 

[annie00]

Bex... U alright over there??

 

[bexxc]

i got about $650 in cash/gift cards. plenty to finish out what we need. i've been working ALL DAY and i still don't have all this stuff put away. i'm exhausted and i haven't even eaten dinner or gotten any of my prep done for this week!

we're starting to meet pediatricians tomorrow afternoon. hopefully we'll just really like this first one and be done with it!

how was your day?

 

[annie00]

My day was okay.. Lookin forward to go to dr tomorrow..

Holly shit I can't believe u got that much!!!! Wow!!!! So happy for you!!

It took me two days to put away stuff

 

[bexxc]

we'll probably have to wait until next weekend to finish. we have a pretty busy week ahead of us. i'm out of my classroom for training tomorrow- which takes extra prep time, then we have our meeting with the first pediatrician tomorrow afternoon. wednesday i'm back in the classroom, but i have to make a two hour round trip to go get my hair cut that afternoon. i'm out of my classroom again on thursday because i was asked to be on the interview panel for our new special ed teacher. i'm back in my classroom by friday and by then i should be good and exhausted and i'll fall into bed early so i can get up on saturday and finally start working on all of this again! we'll also be installing the car seat bases this weekend so morgan can head over to the highway patrol the following week and have them checked out. oh...and we'll be packing hospital bags and trying to put the finishing touches on the nursery too! phew! these last couple of weeks are going to be busy!!!!

 

[annie00]

Wow busy busy week!!!

I just got to go to dr tomorrow and ortho on Tuesday..

I'm packing my bags this week sometimes N I'm going clean my truck before I put car seat in

 

[bexxc]

is it just me, or doesn't it very suddenly seem like everything is getting really close really fast????

 

[annie00]

No it's getting close really fast!!! It's scary but I'm so ready!!

7 weeks is my edd!!!!

Lance think I'm gonna have her nov 3 I think Halloween..
Once the shower is over its all done with and waiting from then..

 

[bexxc]

i'm exactly 3 weeks until full term and 6 until my edd. i'd like november baby, so i just want sprout to hold on until the calendar changes ...not that it really matters all that much.

 

[annie00]

Wow ur so much closer than me .. Lol

 

[armymama2012]

Well we were hoping for a baby boy but last night my dreams predicted a girl. She is beautiful though. In my dream she was 7 lbs and 19 inches. Lots of dark hair and so perfect. I'd like to mention that as far as predicting the gender of our babies my dreams have so far been 100% accurate.

 

[annie00]

Well dr appt was crazy...
They hooked bentlie up to a monitor and that was good her heart beat was strong and loud.. She said she saw some cramping and contractions on the print out..
My blood sugar she is making me take two pills which is 5mg instead of 2mg a day.. I also got to go to the hospital wesnday to a gestional diabetes specialist for a ultra sound to see if I can stay on Meds r switch to insulin and to see how big she is..

So we talked about getting induced bc of gd.. Well she told me the earliest they will induce is 38-39 weeks bc babies whose moms have gd develop there lungs slower than normal pregnancy..
I asked what is my chance of going into labor early she told me is all depends on my cervix and bentlie..

I also got to go every Monday and get put on the monitor so I'm assuming I go weekly now bc I'm high risk? He'll I dunno..
So I asked do I get another ultra sound at 35 weeks she told me that the specialist will prolly do it they might even do weekly ultra sounds.. Yikes it's getting close now

I put my pack n play up my swing and my bouncer up and organized her room.. Tomorrow I gtg to orthodontist and pick up retainer might stop at target and see what they have that I might need for her...

Ill find out more wesnday morning what they think is going to happen and how big she is etc etc

 

[bexxc]

wow! sorry to hear that it's been diffiult to control things and they're considering you high risk. i guess you can look on the bright side- extra ultrasounds mean more peeks at bentlie before delivery.

army- how cool that your dreams seem to be a good predictor of baby's gender. will you be finding out through u/s when possible?

we met with the first pediatrician today. i think we're going to keep looking and just keep him in mind if we can't find someone we like better. his medical philosophies seem okay, but he doesn't seem as warm or friendly as i'd expect a pediatrician to be.

 

[annie00]

Awe bummer wish u could have liked him right off the bat...
I just chose one to me that's not a big deal..
Yea ill know more after the ultra sound

 

[bexxc]

i just want to make sure we find someone who agrees with what we believe as far as medical needs and can also be the kind of person sprout will feel comfortable and trusting going to. we have a couple more pediatricians to try and also a few family practice doctors.

 

[annie00]

Yea I agree..
The only thing that I was concerned about is I wanted to make sure she was a girl dr.. Me n lance both agree its only fair for a girl to examin my little baby girl below when it comes to that time ... Kwim?

 

[bexxc]

i'm not too concerned about the doctor's gender as either morgan or i will be present during exams, but i can understand why someone would be. my main concerns are a doctor's views on breastfeeding support, antibiotic use, prompt and attentive treatment of illnesses that can cause preventable developmental delays, and a balance of treatment that takes illness seriously without being alarmist. that, and i just need to get a good feeling from him/her. that's really the only thing that was missing today. he said all the right things, but i just didn't feel a good match going on. he'll definitely do if we don't find anyone else, but we'll keep looking.

 

[annie00]

Oh no girl ill be there suring exams too!!! But I always had a girl dr so I dunno I just feel way better about the situation!!

I wish u good luck..
