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

[PrettyInInk42]

I have no idea how my body is gonna react to pregnancy in the 3rd tri, but my plan is to just keep working until I text my manager one morning saying I'm in labour and won't be in for the rest of the year. lol

As for the babymoon, I guess that's what Tennessee will be for me, even though BD doesn't realize that's what it is. lol. If he sticks around though, I doubt he'll wanna go anywhere when that money could be spent on baby needs.

Also, I was using my doppler today and I was feeling very small movements, which registered as blips and screeches and such. So nice to catch him when he's moving. : )

And here are a couple more memes...

TTC- My husband and I are going to do the same thing, walk the town and eat our way through, lol! Maybe go to the beach and pool, but just to relax and walk around will be nice! Where did you stay on Maui?

AFM- I had my OB appointment today, passed my 1hr glucose test!!! But my doctor got called out to delivery so I had to see the NP, and was not able to get in to the ultrasound room to double check the gender... But I will hopefully get a chance in 2 weeks when I go back. Also my blood pressure was a bit high, so had to go get some labs done... Hopefully I wont have any problems with that, they didn't find any protein in my urine so FX I wont have any preeclampsia...

V day buddies Marie!

 

[Aphy]

Hi Ladies, sorry I have been so absent. Things are so hectic here with moving house etc that I just don't have the energy for much of anything. I hope everyone is doing great and everything is on track as it should be!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Bump at 21w6d.

I just realized my v-day is Tuesday! I think I'll feel safer by 26 weeks though when survival is 80-90%. 24 weeks it's only 50-70%.

DH was sad that baby stopped kicking last night, so he decided to play Mozart and the Prodigy (odd mix right) but boy did both got the baby dancing

Just found out that my pregnant friend (who already has a daughter and wants a boy) is having a boy. *huge sigh* -.-

Not a good day.

Just found out that my pregnant friend (who already has a daughter and wants a boy) is having a boy. *huge sigh* -.-

Not a good day.

I remember being really jealous of people who had girls for a while. I'm sorry you're having a hard day. Your bump photo is really cute! And if your friend is having a boy too, maybe your little ones can be good friends.

For some reason I'm traveling a LOT before the baby is born. No official babymoon, but probably two family visits and two professional events. That's four trips scattered across April and May. I'm hoping to stay put during all of June. I'm paranoid about ending up in a hospital out-of-network and far from home (this is REALLY unlikely to happen, it's just me being neurotic).

This baby moves so much and so strongly! My oldest was like that too and has kept up his energetic pace. I was hoping for a more mellow kid this time ...

 

[PrettyInInk42]

second - I dunno how close they'll be. She lives like an hour away and I'm not made of gas money.

I'm relaxing in bed right now, with my laptop resting on my stomach, and Alex is kicking hard enough to make it move, but I can't even enjoy it. I'm too busy feeling jealous and sorry for myself.

Also, ComiCon is tomorrow and I feel way too friggen fat.

 

[DobbyForever]

Awww pretty you do not look fat, I love your bump pic. Is BD going? I'm sorry you're not able to enjoy the kicks. It's ok to be jealous. You're still processing. I think once you come here and hit up a Carter's (seriously sign up for the email coupons) and see how we do boy clothes here you will feel better. And if not, that's ok as well.

I'm starving but I'm trapped under SO's arm. I can feel my stomach churning and threatening to vomit though lol

So many v-days! Congrats! Good to know 26 is a high rate. My mom lost a baby at 24, granted that was decades ago so medical tech has evolved. But 20 and 24 weeks if I remember correctly she lost babies. So I agree I will feel better at 24-26 weeks

I feel like the first 16 weeks fly by and the last 5 were painfully slow...

 

[PrettyInInk42]

Dobby - No, BD didn't go. Several months ago I said he should really come sometime cuz there's so much to see and do. But when I found out I was pregnant, I wasn't sure how big I was gonna be at the time, so I didn't bring it up again.

And we have Carter's stores here. Some of the stuff is alright, but I can't deal with the thought of having to buy for boy stuff right now.

 

[DobbyForever]

Aww bummer but looks like you had fun anyway

No rush. Give it time.

 

[Gagrlinpitt]

Pretty you look great!!

Anyone else doing diy projects for the nursery?? I'm working on a mobile for her room.. just hoping it turns out the way I invision it.

 

[DobbyForever]

I don't DIY lol my idea of DIY is buy a prebuilt from lowes and put it together while getting frustrated and watching a narrated YouTube video made by a handy person lol

 

[Gagrlinpitt]

Dobby lol!! I Love diy stuff!!!

 

[DobbyForever]

Lol I'd probably love them if I was good at it haha. I also grew up maaaad spoiled. My stepdad had our primary home paid off and multiple rental incomes on top of his lawyer salary so there were many "why do what I can pay someone else to do?" Conversations between him and my mom. I do want to paint and decorate the nursery myself by everything else no thanks. Deliver and install please and ty

 

[PrettyInInk42]

The only DIY project I'm thinking of working on is crocheting a blanket.

 

[Gagrlinpitt]

Lol. I've always been very crafty growing up.. I used to make jewelry and paint a lot.. so I enjoy making things or upcycling things... I'll have to post a picture of the mobile when I'm done with it..

 

[lesondemavie]

I garden and bake, so neither of those will really work for the nursery. DH and I keep saying we want to get into woodworking but I think we have a hard time thinking about spending the money on wood and then totally messing it up. Painting is not my forte, and I don't enjoy sewing. My mom would hand make our Halloween costumes each year and it was amazing. I definitely won't be doing that for my kid(s), but hopefully they'll have many fond memories of baking with me, making crazy requests for cakes that I pull off, and bringing the best desserts to the bake sales. As for the nursery the most DIY I'm getting is spray painting picture frames and buying from Etsy

All made completely from scratch:

I'm more of a savoury cook but not very creative at all here
