Mid June and July Firecrackers Group Due June/July 2017!

I did my birthing class and maternity ward tour this Saturday, and it was pretty nice! I feel like I have some idea of what will happen now:thumbup: Hopefully everything will go smoothly:cloud9:
 
Awesome! So jealous. Not having a hospital tour is really testing my anxiety
 
Weebles has updated on FB, she will update us all soon, she and baby are well.

Malia, my EDD got changed to 22nd July too.

Not much happening here at the moment. I've got 2 weeks until I see my consultant and hopefully write my birth plan.
 
Agreed I hope weebles is alright

I'm getting a brand new 2017 Ford Escape SE. The best price so far is $19.8k. Waiting on one dealer to beat that but if not I'm happy.

Ttc excellent! I do my birth plan and pre-admission work on Thursday I think

Congratulations on your new car :)
I was checking here what a car like that costs, cant see it on their list. But a Ford Edge kosts here 71000$ prices here are rediculus!! The reason why it was hard to find a car for us. I mean, our is a Toyota Landcruser and it is 2007 and costes more than your new one!
 
So we had another scan today. Got enaugh water and flow through the umbilical cordis good. They said that I look realy good, am healthy so they wasnt me to go over 38 weeks, were going to do a c section at june 21 but called later and resceduled it and I will go the 19th. She is still sitting with her ass down there, the one that is lower and the other higher up with her head down. But since it is that way, and has been for atleast 10 weeks they think it is very unlikely she will turn so I could have vaginal birth. If I go in labor early or my water brake I will come in and have a c section. Weird having a date like that! I mean, it is different form a due date.
 
Wow, catalyst, that's so soon! That's exciting. And aphy too ... it must be nice to have a countdown to a date. I hate the uncertainty of late pregnancy. It could be tomorrow, it could be in a month and a half ... it messes with my head.

Glad to hear weebles is doing well!

I have my appointment today and it should be a little more involved than the in-and-out visits I've been having.
 
Does anyone know what "outflow trucks" are? I finally got my doctor to review the results of my 30 week scan and she said the doctor that performed it "could not see my outflow trucks well." What does that mean? Could they not see the flow of the umbilical cord? So confused.
 
I have my appointment on Friday. I have a few questions for the doctor.. I've been having a lot of lower pressure and my nipples are making and (tmi maybe) but both have been leaking drops of blood. I also want to ask about this ganglion cyst that popped up on my wrist and about my toe/ foot that is bruised and hurts to walk in... I'm a mess ladies lol.
 
Ttc - Perhaps you mean outflow tracts? The heart has a left and a right ventricular outflow tract. Blood flows through these tracts to the arteries. I wouldn't worry. Sometimes it's hard to see these things on ultrasound well. Hopefully they'll get a good look soon just to confirm all is well.
 
That is probably what it is, my OB did send the email at midnight so was probably a typo. Thank you!
 
Girly- thanks for the update on weebles, was starting to get worried. Also I updated your info :)
 
So, Amal Clooney just had her and George's twins and named them Ella and Alexander. I mentioned that to BD and he jokingly said "Ew, what terrible names." *sigh* This friggen guy. lol

Anyway, we went back to the Toyota dealership so he could test drive a Camry. He seemed to really like it and we sat down with same saleswoman we dealt with when he drove the Rav4, to discuss the price and payment options. It's nice that he's getting closer to deciding. He seemed to like both the vehicles, but he keeps mentioning how the Camry is somewhat cheaper than the Rav. Well, ya. It's a smaller car. I just need to figure out a way to convince him to get the Rav without just blurting out "well, better to already have that extra room when baby #2 comes." lol

And my shower is now like 5 days away. There's still a bunch to do, but I'm excited. I think the guest list is now at like 40 people, including a handful of kids, but still. :)
 
Once you narrow it down to a car brand, use an internet search to find lower prices. Then pit dealers against each other. SO used true car to find a cheap price then contacted the dealer and got it in writing, then played like four dealerships against each other. My friend just bought a Ford Escape SE for msrp 26. I'm picking mine up for 19.8k with nothing down
 
Still super sick so didn't process much glad weebles is ok. :)

Um um nope nada pretty yay for baby shower!!!

My work shower is after school. It's a joint shower because someone else is pregnant as well. Not in the mood to pretend to be excited about presents or have more thank you cards to write. I know it sounds ungrateful but that's cuz I am :rofl: I really don't like these people. My coworker and I are about to go at it
 
Ladies ladies!! Off topic but I applied for my very first grown up job last night as a real midwife :D me and mum spent hours on my personal statement hehe.
I have this trust and one other to apply to back home where we want to move with the kids and if I get either job we'll be moving in January back to my home town where our family and friends are. I'm giddy and so nervous!
 
Mumma good luck!

Dobby- I can completely relate to the tolerating your co workers barely.

Pretty- enjoy your shower and hopefully BD can figure out the car thing soon..
 
Good luck mumma!

Dobby - I can relate. I have some really awful coworkers from previous places of employment. So glad they are in my past! Where I work now is wonderful. We just all really care about the clients, and we get along great - we bicker a bit about schedules sometimes, but there's zero petty drama. So very fortunate to be where I'm at now. I'm sure they'll do something for me later this month, and give me a card with gift cards - which I will use for diapers and wipes bc most everything else will be bought and ready to go :). My two directors already attended my shower and gave generous gifts, so i don't expect more from them (I certainly hope not at least!). I've known them for a decade now so it was great to have them there. For those who have had babies before me, we all just threw $10 into a pool. I hated it when I was struggling through my losses, but now it's my turn!

Boy I think this last month is going to be tough! I think I'm finally getting the pregnant woman waddle, baby keeps pressing down on my cervix which is so painful, and I'm burning up at night even when the day wasn't that warm. I had some trouble getting back to sleep after waking up at 1 am a few nights in a row. I thought it was just bc we were traveling, but then it happened again the first night back in my own bed. I was always super hot when I woke up, but I could feel that the air was cool around me so I tried not to up the air/fan for DH's sake. I just threw off the sheet, but clearly that did not work. Last night I upped the fan, DH moved to the guest bed, and I had a glorious full night's sleep.

Anyone else just feeling super hot as they near the end?
 
Agreed mumma! Fxed!

Leson yay for finding a job environment you love! I definitely miss my old coworkers, but my boss is so much better. Guess I can't have it all. I totally relate to the loss thing. I was on social committee before so I was in charge of gift buying and shower throwing. It always stung a bit but it does make your sticky bean that much more special. Glad they spoiled you!

I'm glad (kind of sad) y'all get it. My coworker undermined my authority with my student monday, tried to get me sent home yesterday, and just overall is pissing me off. Luckily she's not in my grade level next year because I would lose it.

My temp fluctuates. One minute I'm freezing then I'm burning up. I can't even tolerate high 70s or low 80s so also curious how being quite pregnant during the hottest months of the year will play out.
 
Pretty - Can you check the safety ratings on the Rav4, maybe that one is a little "safer" than the Camry and play that card?

Mumma - Good luck with the job, if you spent all the time preparing and putting into the application it shows how much you want the job!

I can't sleep more than 2 hours at a time and always wake up in a sweat when we have the a/c and fan on! I have the waddle too and I my feet are super swollen, I can hardly fit into my shoes.

Spoke to doctor last night about the outflow tracks and nothing to worry about. she said Baby is in 80th percentile so all good.

Does anyone know if baby is in 80th percentile at 30 weeks, does that mean I can get induced early? or Baby will come early naturally? Just really want him to be hear already, I am so uncomfortable.
 
I have been pretty hot and uncomfortable lately... And that is with the ac on full blast! And it's just going to get hotter and hotter every day now. Hawaii is nice and all but it can be very hot and humid during the summer...:dohh: Going to have to set up my fan soon:haha:
