General chatter while we wait (and commentary on the "pull out method")

[gigglebox]

Agreed, totally understandable mrs. I too have a plan for hubs and was trying to figure out how to tell my parents lol...all these special dates passed by (my birthday, thanksgiving, xmas) and then i realized it really doesn't matter. Pregnancy is special all on its own, doesn't need to be "tied to" a special date that already exists!

I'll probably tell you all, hubs, and a few close "irl" pregnant friends first...then family after its confirmed, then everyone else after i see a heart beat.

But, uh, yeah....gotta get pregnant first! I always get ahead of myself!

Today i wasn't in the mood for food, but i ate stuff anyway. Really unhealthy stuff, except my morning smoothie. If this continues into tomorrow (my not feeling like eating, but being hungry) i'm going to get suspecious and excited ^_^

 

[mrs.green2015]

Gig I'm the compete opposite today. I want to eat everything and anything!!! And I've been super emotional. It's definitely pms just weird is coming at the end of AF.

I'll either tells hubs immediately or wait until the week before my first doc appointment. And then not tell anyone until after my second appointment (which is at 10 weeks 5 days). At least that's my plan for now lol and by tell people I mean our moms and my sister.

[gigglebox]

Cb are you close to coworkers? Will you get a baby shower? Do people even do baby showers in the uk?

 

[campn]

Oh yeah I must cut back on caffeine, I don't drink any soda at all, but usually have 1-2 cups of coffee, that may have to change to 1/2 cup or just 1 cup at max.

Do you have showers for a second baby? Someone told me that's rude to have a shower if it isn't your first but why? Every baby should be celebrated. I was the 4th child, man do I not feel that special now

I mostly have everything I need, other than a few things we'll need to repurchase cause they broke, like a pack and play (loved this) and a new car seat and stroller.

 

[gigglebox]

My mom friends here threw a "baby sprinkle" for a lady's 4th baby. So basically, it's a light shower, haha. I had never heard of that...

I've attended a baby shower for a friend's second.

I'll totally have a shower or "sprinkle" for a second.

 

[wookie130]

I guess I'm one of those who feel that second baby showers aren't really necessary...the purpose of a baby shower is to "shower" a new mom with gifts for the baby. I still had so much baby stuff from my first, that by the time I had my second child, all I had to do was buy boy clothes and blankets, as my first child was a girl. I do agree that each child should be celebrated, and perhaps that could be via a "meet the baby" party after the second child is born...food, drinks, etc., and no expectations of actual baby gifts.

Campn- Yay for the digi! I loved those things. They sort of remove any and all doubt, eh?

Yup! And i'm still feeling put off from food today BUT, i can't sort out if it's just in my head or not

 

[claireybell]

Ive told 2 close work pals but thats it, not officially announced or told my boss but hes never there anyway..

I had a Baby shower for Riley which my sisters organised as a suprise which was lovely, im not expecting another one but if one took me by suprise again it be lovely

My sister has 4 & she never had a baby shower, so when she was pg with No4, there was an 8yr age gap & they had minimal stuff so she was chuffed with those gifts Did you have one with Des gigs?

J, agreed you are still early! Campn, your son is freaking cute! Gigs, no clue . I thought you confirmed O this month though

All my preggerifics, I just love looking are your fruit tickets

 

[DobbyForever]

Not sure about chipotle but not sure how you can blame them for an E. coli outbreak.... That'd be like me suing my employer because my students got me sick during flu season.... Seems silly to me not to mention difficult to prove in court.


Also just found out fresh and easy is bankrupt

 

[mrs.green2015]

I think the second one baby shower is up to the mom. But I like the idea of celebrating every pregnancy too. I know someone who had a sprinkle and someone else has a gender reveal party to célèbre at the baby. Both said no gifts on the invites because they really didn't need much they just wanted to get everyone together and celebrate. On the other hand my best friend had her 3rd had a shower because she was divorced and it was her SOs first baby. Plus she never really got to celebrate the other two as her ex was abusive.

 

[claireybell]

Ive never heard of a 'sprinkle' hehee thats too cute! & i love it

I hope for all your sakes you don't have to wait for me because between SO and my stupid body, shit will be a while.

Oh PL sorry your date got moved up. Don't feel bad collecting the EI. It's temporary. That's exactly what it was designed for.

 

[JLM73]

I have to catch up but all 3 tests this morning are
And my urine was SUPER concentrated, almost orange!
Whatever lines we were guessing on were nothing since there is NO line on the Frer6ds, and it's been over 48hrs since the first one...more than enough time for doubling, and to at Least get a faint pink line.
