~*~* July Sunbeams *~*~43 Babies Here So Far!!! 25 Boys / 18 Girls

[Miss Bellum]

Hi everyone, hope you are all well.

A lady at work told me that my tummy was moving independently of my hips now! I've felt a bit self conscious all day and I'm still not entirely sure what she meant by it ?

Congrats Sue!

I'm pretty upset right now as the DH and I aren't getting along at the moment. It just scares me because I worry my marriage will one day fail. I just feel like there are certain things/behaviors I cannot and won't tolerate but he refuses to change them.

Sorry to hear that hon Hopefully its just a bad patch, and you can work thing out x Has he always had the behaviors you cant tolerate or have they started recently?

Congrats Sweetpea and becca!!!! How exciting we're having so many gender scans coming up!! 2 more sleeps and we have ours!!!! I'm getting ready to hit the hay now!

But a quick vent...today has been a horrid day! It wasn't too bad until this afternoon when my manager called me into her office. She gave me an "informal write up" which I still had to sign for the simple fact that I have not had ANY time to label my desk how she apparently wants it. She wants my entire desk labeled for my work and I don't know how else to label it!! I had 2 different terminals and the inbox for paperwork was labeled for each, and people would just throw stuff in them and I always had to separate them. She said I do great work and it has nothing to do with that but if I don't label my desk like it should be then I'll have a formal right up.
t was a bit longer than expected due to my feelings coming back up again. Hope you guys have a good night! I'm going to crash so I don't have to think about it again.

Sounds like a really rough day, and that your manager really doesnt have enough to do if labelling desks is her priority. Hope it gets resolved soon

Congrats to those who have found out what they are having!! I have to wait until 19th feb and it seems like ages off!! But it really isn't that long now!

I had a really strange moment last night, I started leaking milk!! Just a small amount from one side! Is that normal?

Ours is the day before, and it does seem like ages doesn't it?

It really is! I am a bio major so it is completely not the type of class I am used to taking but I am really enjoying it. Have fun in class
h

Well, that's hopefully all the excitement I'll have for the day

Poor kitty! What a horrible adventure for him. Glad you found him and he is safe & well x

 

[oneandtwo]

Had our anatomy scan today!!! and GUESS WHAT?!?!?!

Baby boy #4 is actually OUR FIRST DAUGHTER!!!! The 15week ultrasound was wrong, she is all girl and we are SOOO excited! I knew they were wrong, and even had my husband conivnced that he was actually a she and I was totally right. OMG I am so excited, and my sons are over the moon that they get a sister!!

 

[Libbysmum]

Oh how wonderful oneandtwo! A blessing I am sure! She is very lucky to have such great big brothers to welcome her into this world!

Congrats Sue- what lovely U/S pictures! I am having an U/S tomorrow morning! We phoned around a few places to see what was on offer. We wanted to be sure to get lots of photos and a CD. Plus we didn't want to wait weeks and weeks. Would rather have it sooner than later. DH was on the phone to about 3 places and I was on the phone to another 3 or 4 places. We made temporary bookings with 3 and then canceled the ones we decided were not for us. I am going to have my scheduled 4 week appointment with the GP today and get a referral letter for the U/S...the hospital gave us one but I am not sure if we can get the rebate with it but I do know the GP one you can get the rebate so I figured may as well get it just in case. Am taking DD to another playgroup today as I am not completely happy with the one she currently attends. It is another 5min drive from our house but hopefully she will like it.

Congrats on the pink bump sweetpea!! and blue becca!!

Hopefulhoney, I swear my bump was bigger yesterday! Some days my jeans definitely feel tighter than others.

Caro, sorry about the delay in moving! I would be really frustrated too. Any chance that it may not take till March? Luckily February is a short month

nope, seems it'll be march, grr! oh well! fx'ed they'll exchange at least soon then i can relax a bit as it'll cost them £1000's if they pulled out after exchanging!

Congrats Sweetpea and becca!!!! How exciting we're having so many gender scans coming up!! 2 more sleeps and we have ours!!!! I'm getting ready to hit the hay now!

She said I do great work and it has nothing to do with that but if I don't label my desk like it should be then I'll have a formal right up.

The ONLY reason I haven't had time to do any other form of labeling like my actual files in my drawer, is because a lot of people have been out of the office in the last month and she has piled all of their work on top of mine! I even told her this and I think it's ridiculous I'm getting into trouble when I was there to do everyone else's work while the other ladies that could have helped just sat around doing nothing but talking. I work my rear off for that company and get crapped on! It's so ridiculous! I HATE this company!

I had to call in last Friday because DS had a snow day and because of that, I get wrote up for not having my desk labeled according to them. I had text another coworker what was where on my desk and she told me today when she got into work that our supervisor had everything scattered across my desk and said she don't know what's what. Well heck....how could she not know when all my paperwork was in my inbox????? UGHHHH!!! So she complains to my manger and I get wrote up. Sorry, I know I said that multiple times but I haven't had a write up in over 10 years when I was in my young days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I probably won't get over this any time soon because every time I think about it I end up crying over it. I think it's just stupid to get wrote up about a couple of labels. So tomorrow instead of working, I'm labeling everything and they can't say a word about me not working because I'm doing what they told me to about labeling. Sorry the rant was a bit longer than expected due to my feelings coming back up again. Hope you guys have a good night! I'm going to crash so I don't have to think about it again.

that is sooo unreasonable of your employers! hun

OMG!!! fantastic news! bet you can't believe it! how have all those negative people reacted that were mean when you announced you were having a 4th boy before? i've never heard of them mistaking it that way round before! heard little girls turning into boys a fair bit, amazing to have a boy actually be a girl xx

 

[ProudArmyWife]

They arent so negative now!! Its the first granddaughter on my husbands side so every one is very excited! The perinatologist told me that the gender place I went to is wrong ALOT and apparently cant distinguish the difference between swollen girl parts and boy parts. The tech and peri seemed really annoyed that they told me the wrong gender! I am SOOO excited, I knew my gut feeling was right I thought SO strongly it was a girl from the very beginning. So glad im not crazy LOL

Here are the pictures we got of her!

She loved to have her mouth open! It looked like she was gabbing away in there on many occassions!

sorry to hear about your rough day. sometimes managers just suck! my manager gave me a crappy review because for the first 11 months i worked there i was doing another girls job too becasue she wouldn't do what she was supposed to do. i ended up working 10-11 hour days every day and that girl would show up 30 minutes late and leave 30 minutes early every day. after i found out i was pregnant i was fed up and stopped doing her work and worked my scheduled hours. my boss told me that if i would do that girls work i would have gotten a better review! i was livid!!! she's even more mad now that i'm on FMLA and she can't threaten to fire me for being sick anymore. i go back tomorrow for the first time in a week and a half i'm kinda nervous that everyone is going to treat me like crap

Had our anatomy scan today!!! and GUESS WHAT?!?!?!

congrats on finding out its a girl! thats so exciting! she's going to have 3 big brothers to watch her like a hawk when shes older!!!

 

[BeccaMichelle]

So exciting Oneandtwo! You're going to LOVE having a little girl. They're amazing!

 

[JJsmom]

sue, great pics of your little one!!!

oneandtwo!! How exciting!! I actually gasped when I read you were having a girl! LOL! Can't believe that other place is wrong so many times but glad your doc was able to give you the real answer!!!

tlh, hope they aren't too difficult on you!! I can't believe they penalized you for not doing the other person's work! I would have to talk to HR about that! Because if you get a poor review for not doing someone else's work but you're doing yours, then HR needs to know. They can't do that!

I was just having a crappy day yesterday and glad that today is a new day! Things are really coming down at work and they are being very strict about everything now! We had a meeting today and they said that if you are tardy they are going to start writing you up if your more than 5 mins late. They say HR won't see any of them unless it becomes a problem but I know people it will become a problem for and they even spoke up in the meeting about how unfair it is and what not. It's just a lot of changes and my new manager said she has learned she has to document everything.

I am seriously craving grape bubble gum and apparently NO ONE sells it!!!!!!!!!! We have looked at all the stores and can't find it! I'm going to have to order it online and have it shipped which means it'll take over a week to get here! UGH!!!! I just want a pack of grape bubble gum!!! It's just not fair!!

 

[oneandtwo]

Jjsmom, this might be a long shot but do you have a Michaels craft store around you? They sell grape flavored bubble gu at least at ours they dom, its the baseball chew brand that comes shredded in a bag!

OHH!! I'll have to go look tomorrow! I used to love the little league gum! LOL! My dad chews tobacco and I loved being similar to him when I had my little league gum pack! Thanks for the heads up on that!

 

[junemomma09]

Thank you Miss Bellum and Myra!! It's just a rough patch. We truly are very happy but thugs have been rather stressful with the impending move in less than 3 weeks, financial issues due to the move (moving is expensive), no matter how much I work I can't keep up, so we're getting some help from DH parents. They've been wonderful! And all this has put a lot of stress on my body and mentally. I havent been able to start buying anything for this baby expect a large box of size 1 diapers and a 500 count box of wipes. That's really got me stressing. It's all just really put a lot of stress on our marriage right now.
I don't hope it passes soon after we move because it kills me that things are like this at times. I hate it!

EDIT: oh my goodness I just saw all of my typos...I do hope you all know what I meant. That's what I get for trying to type quickly on an iPhone. Smh

 

[myra]

And so the stretch marks begin....sigh...

Right now I just have them on my breasts. My sis said that's where she got them with both her pregnancies, so I'm hoping they stay there and don't end up on my belly as well.

 

[Libbysmum]

Got my scan tomorrow...super exciting. I took DD to a different playgroup. She loved it. So much better than the old one. So many little kids her age so that makes me feel like she could get to be friends with some of them eventually. So sorry Myra about the stretch marks...not much you can do about it now but it is all for a good cause eh? I think the younger mothers have better luck getting their bodies back to normal after birth than us somewhat older women. When you get that gorgeous little boy in your arms it will all be worth it. I find that after DD was born I am actually less self conscious about my body than I was before I had her. Now I am like well loads of folks look worse than me and my stretched belly lol and they wear skimpy bikini's so what on earth am I to worry about...and besides DH hasn't complained about the stretch marks and he is the only one that I really want to be looking at my body

 

[JJsmom]

Good luck libbysmum!!!!

I got my scan today!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!! I have 1 1/2 hrs before we start the scan! Love it!!!

 

[myra]

For those of you with scans today- have fun seeing your little ones and I'm looking forward to hearing your news!

 

[donna noble]

scan at 11. i am scared to death. i hope everything will be fine.

 

[junemomma09]

At the doctors office waiting for my 18 week scan!!! I'm so excited to see my little one again

 

[ProudArmyWife]

Myra I have loads of stretch marks from my dd including on my boobs and thighs my belly has started itching lately so been lotioning like crazy trying I keep them from stretching up beyond my belly button lets hope I'm successful

Good luck at your scans today ladies! Can't wait to hear your news

Afm impatiently waiting for my scan next Tuesday. I will be exactly 20 weeks so only 6 days to go...I'm so impatient and it feels like each day is dragging by!
