Flueky - There's literally a sign at my MW's office saying they won't reveal gender over the phone. I guess if I wanted to get technical, I could email them for the results, but I doubt they'd give them. I was told the results would take 2 business days to be sent to my MW and the fact that they haven't contacted me probably means that everything is ok though.
The girls looked really cute. Glad to hear the party went well. Gonna need to get serious about planning Alex's soon.
Alex has his next dentist appt 4 days after his BDay and I'm expecting him to fight too. lol. I hope V feels better soon. And that's BS that you guys don't get a full year of mat leave in the States.
shae - I wouldn't have thought of it as a China thing, more of a Muslim, or maybe India, thing. I don't even know if they'll tell you the gender on your baby in China, that's why there are so many orphaned girls. There's a woman in my Oct 2019 thread who lives in India and they aren't allowed to find out the gender til birth. But I completely agree about it being my baby and my body and my right. I see videos on youtube of people who've filmed their scans and they get the info right away. At the same time though, it's basically free to have a baby in Canada, so I guess it's kind of a trade off.
PL - Aww, sorry to hear about your cat. I would've thought a cat would be faster than a raccoon and able to run away.
Gigs - I'm like 90% at peace with having another boy right now. I've already been referring to this baby as Matthew in my head, but I don't wanna say anything out loud until SO brings it up first. And what does WIP mean?
CB - Yay for first tooth. Hopefully he'll sleep better going forward.
Green - As PL said, FX it's not PE and you get your VBAC.
Keeps - FX this is your lucky cycyle.
AFM, I had an opportunity to check if Alex's old car seat will fit into the universal adapter for that tandem stroller I want and it does. So, I guess it's just a matter of waiting for gift cards and then we'll get it. I also took the front side of his crib off and turned it into a toddler bed, not that he even uses it at my place. But we'll probably be spending the night there on Friday and one day later this month, so I guess we'll see if he likes it. I really wish we could get a crib for SO's place sooner rather than later though. I don't mind him cosleeping with us, but I'd rather he started out in his own bed, just so he can be used to it. Probably gonna bring this up with SO soon. I also did some number crunching and I don't think it'll be feasible for me to go back to work after mat leave, at least at my current job. 2 kids in daycare will cost $2890 a month and I only make $2634 before tax. So, if/when I do go back, it'll have to be somewhere else where I'll be making more, or wait til Alex starts school. Oh, and I treated myself to some capris and maternity panties from Thyme. hehe. Anywho, still feeling kicks and finding a HB, getting moderate round ligament pains on my right side from work, but it's all worth it.
Here's the blanket I'm working on and the one I made for Alex for comparison. And here's my sleepy boy. lol
hmmm
