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

you're still early autumnal!! I guess you'll get what you're meant to have but I'll still hope this is your month *fx*

People chewing food, tapping, or pretty much most repetitive sounds are the worst.

Same, repetitive noises like tapping and ticking drive me nuts.

We found out Friday we’re having another girl!

Congratulations! That’s so exciting!

im autistic and all 4 of my kids are too i assume this baby prob will be too.

Well, you’re the perfect mama for them, because you know what it’s like to struggle with a lot of the things they may struggle with. They must have the best advocate ever!

omg Shae your hyper fixation was pregnancy at 15?! That's wild!

I’m just going to quietly remind you that I am 25 years old and that maybe perhaps you should check my join date the hyperfixation was WILD in my teens. I’ve had a baby registry for like 5 years. I’m continually updating it as I find newer better products
I stopped working on the pregnancy binder years ago, but honestly now that I think about it, it would probably be very helpful to gather myself a ton of information in an accessible spot, all in one place. I think I would do it on Google docs these days.

Maybe you should start a blog to share your knowledge, like “Ttc facts distilled” or something.

Jukes I missed your announcement!! Congratulations on the new little princess!!!

Hm maybe… I really have no idea how to do a blog though, and I feel like I just Google questions as I have them, I don’t follow blogs. But maybe.

Maybe YouTube?

Ugh y’all the pregnancy insomnia is real!! It’s 5:30 and I’ve been up for over an hour and a half. Baby is wigglin’ more which is nice. I’m excited for being able to feel him from the outside so my kids can feel it. Even though I thought my middle kid would be the most interested in this pregnancy, my youngest has really been into it recently. Sadly though he’s told me he is afraid I’m going to die when I give birth breaks my heart! I was just having an open conversation with my kids about how I’d be having surgery to get baby out and they can’t fathom how I can have a wound that big and not die lol

Of course in the back of my mind I’m like…oh the tragedy if that were to happen *sobbing* I’ve been up tonight anxious about life’s “what ifs…?” Including what if the ultrasound has bad news and then also about my mom (there is literally nothing wrong with her health but anxious minds gonna anxious).

On the plus side hubby got a respectable end of year bonus andI think tomorrow we’re going to try and do something charitable with the kids. I’m thinking have them pick out toys to donate for toys4tots or something like that.

I'm so sorry you are feeling anxious. I know that statistically women dying from childbirth these days is very very rare but statistics never make me feel much better... It's better to just pray and turn to your favourite verses and put your trust there! (I always wish someone would remind me to do this when I'm spiralling, haha!)

That's so nice you are going to do that with your kids. I hope that it makes a lasting impression for them
