My younger son is im daycare. The learn many things, social skills, about many different things, songs, rimes and in the oldest group it prepares then for school by learning letters and so on. Lots of crafting, therea exercice and also lot of play. They start at agr 12-24 months depends on how big the playschoola are in the area and how many kidz they can takr in and how big each year is. Both my boys years are big classes.
So he is from 8-16:15 and gets breakfast, lunch and two snacks. We pay gor 5 days aweek between 320-335 dollars each month. One month during the summer it is closed and that month you dont pay.

My BIL wife lost her water just after she got out from the shower. If I remember right not long after the first contractions started and about 8-10 hours later her son was born.

TTC and Girly - Ya, she doesn't know yet. Obviously, I love her and we get along decently well now, but she gets on me about stuff from time to time. I know if I told her, she'd have a ton of questions about BD (baby daddy)'s involvement and I wouldn't have any answers for her, or they'd be things she wouldn't be too happy to hear about. I'm also slightly worried she'd (maybe accidentally) say something to him before I could. So, I wanna tell him first and get his thoughts and then I'll tell her. I'm thinking I'll tell them on the same day though (April 2). I'm gonna get a frame that holds 4 pics from the dollar store and pick the 4 best shots from all my scans, put them in the frame, wrap it, and then give it to her and tape her reaction. My boss was actually just asking me about this today. lol

And a couple weeks back, my mom told me I looked tired, but also kind of like I was glowing. I'd just gone to the gym and done hot yoga that day, and I guess I was in some decent lighting. lol

It all sounds very well thought out to me. I hope the reveal is everything you hope for and I can't wait to hear how that goes. So many exciting things coming up for you!

I am sure she is right, you probably do have a glow. I get told that a lot too. I personally can't see a glow so maybe it's just something people say to make you feel pretty?

My water broke with my DD right after taking a shower and no contractions. I was 35w5d.

I sure hope my labor is as quick as some of you ladies had!!! Kinda afriad that it will be terribly painful and long...

 

[Gagrlinpitt]

Well ladies.. is official. We are expecting our own little lady in July.

 

[DobbyForever]

Gagrl congrats on team pink!!!

Pretty wait your boss asked? Does boss know or just asking about it? I can't remember anything

Yeah daycare here starts 6w. I cried. So many cute babies lol. They have a 1 to 4 adult to infant ratio and supposedly do all sorts of developmental stuff with them. I just care it's super safe, codes for every door and enclosed/they will take my pumped milk/it's close to work. But man I am jealous of you ladies lol. NorCal/SoCal is insane. But like every Cali person has said as much as we could go but a mansion and have money leftover, there's just no leaving.

 

[808malia]

Gagrl- Congrats on joining team pink!!!

 

[Gagrlinpitt]

Thanks ladies.. we are still in shock. We were 99.9% sure peanut was a boy and had been calling her a he for 20 weeks... We both looked at each other and Im like.. "I think they messed up"...

 

[DobbyForever]

Awwww just go to the cute girl section and the shock will go away lol. I wanted a boy so bad, and now I cry every time I see girl clothes send accessories because they are so cute and I can't buy them lol

 

[lesondemavie]

Congrats gag! That's why I'm not bothering to guess at all. There is really just no way to know. If I was a betting woman though I'd guess girl every time...slightly better odds

 

[PrettyInInk42]

Thanks, TTC.

Dobby - Ya, both my bosses (a married couple) and one of my managers know. As well as a handful of my close friends. That's it for now. Sorry, I know this is all confusing and crazy. lol

And congrats, Gagrl.

Less than 35 hours til my scan. ^_^

 

[DobbyForever]

Lol nw pretty sure you told me that but goldfish memory lol yay for scan!!!

 

[Aphy]

Congrats on team pink Gags! So happy for you and I am sure the shock will wear off soon!

Sorry I have been quite, things have been crazy my side with trying to sort out the new house and packing up the old one etc. My anomaly scan went well, no problems found! Doc was a little unsure at one stage about us remaining team blue but eventually he found it again and this time he took the time to show me properly so now I can also firmly believe that Kyle is staying Kyle! Weight was 340g and 139.4mm from crown to rump. I am so relieved that all is ok...

Good luck with your upcoming scan Pretty!

I'm glad to hear that I am not the only one suffering from preggie-brain! This week I have been struggling to phrase my sentences properly cause words just evade me which of course my work colleagues are finding utterly hilarious!

 

[Gagrlinpitt]

Thanks so much ladies.. I'm sure once the shock wears off we will be elated to have a little princess on the way.

Aphy I'm so excited for you staying team blue! And that Kyle is healthy and happy.

Pretty- good luck on your scan, I can't wait to see how your little LR peanut is doing.

 

[Mummafrog]

So happy for you gagrl - my little girl has been so amazing, she has such gentle hands and is so calm and kind. I'm not girly at all as I said before but I love brushing her curly blonde hair and seeing how excited she gets about pretty dresses (although we've always had a range of clothes and colours to choose from), she loves them hehe. Girls language seems to develop earlier, of course a very general statement, but on the whole they tend to start chatting away earlier which is so fun hehe.

I've had two very vivid dreams about the gender, one was that I had a clearblue digi you could pee on and it would tell you! And it was a boy and the other was at the scan and she told me it was a boy and I was so happy I couldn't stop crying.
I am starting to feel pretty sure it's a boy and I'm scared of the shock you've just had gagrl. It's just getting intense because we're so close to finding out (monday). Going away for the weekend which will help distract me. X

 

[Gagrlinpitt]

Good luck Mumma. I'm glad we found out on our own before we do the gender reveal to our family on Saturday. We both were so quiet and literally just shocked when we opened the box, I'd have hated for our families to see that and think we were disappointed. We just had our minds set on a boy and we did not expect a girl. I started going through Pinterest to try and look a little girl things and I am getting more excited now. I found the most adorable onzie that says "daddy's little girl and mommys world" and I might have to snag that one.

 

[Mummafrog]

Yes, it's good to find out alone unless you literally have no idea/feelings about it. It just takes a moment to process as a couple. Disappointed is the wrong word, just having to rejiggle your brain about it all hehe.
Aww that sounds lovely! My girl's first outfit was this beautiful, simple white one with tiny pink flowers. I scoured the Internet to find one that matched what I had in mind
