And Meg!! I have no problem whatsoever hearing about your pregnancy! Doesn't bother me one bit! If anything I'm super excited for you and want to hear all about it! So happy to hear your levels TRIPLED! YAYYY!

I totally agree! I love hearing about pregnancies!!! PLEASE stay and keep us updated!

 

[bella21]

testing tomorrow with fmu....will let you guys know how it goes...otherwise waiting it out till monday!! (hopefully)

It's morning!!! I'm impatiently waiting to hear Mandi!!!

Lauren, how ya doin?

I'm doing good, my daughter had her sleepover last night, all 3 kids will be staying most of the day today also. I'm planning a leaf collecting walk, and decorating pumpkin shaped sugar cookies, and hopefully my cranky hormones stay under control, as this has been planned since last month...LOL. Then again since Sunday it's kinda been "feed me a banana and nobody gets hurt!" My OH thinks it's hilarious...but he's a butthead

 

[Lovebug71210]

I am good! I am trying not to symptom spot, but I am failing miserably! lol

I took my son for a leaf collecting walk the other day. We collected a bunch of different shaped leaves and then I used them as an outline to cut out plain white paper towel leaves. I put a some food coloring in little cups of water and let him use a dropper to "paint" the leaves. They turned out really neat and I hung them up on our kitchen windows. Yesterday we did apple print painting. I cut an apple in half and he dipped it in paint and then pressed it on paper and it left a pumpkin shape. So I added vines and leaves. I love doing crafts with him.

Hey Lauren, hey Mandi!! How are things going?

 

[Lovebug71210]

Hey girls! I am doing well. Yesterady I took DS to a couple Halloween activities, then we had a surprise party for a friends birthday, and then we all ended up in costumes at a bar. (Obviously not our DS, our friends son babysat). It was so fun! I didnt even drink that much but I am waaaaaay tired today! I am not used to staying up until 2am anymore!!

Yesterday I thought for sure AF was showing up early. We were out shopping and I just felt it and its the only thing I could think it would be. Went to the bathroom convinced it was going to be there and it wasnt. Sorry for TMI but it was just whitish clear cm. And lots of it. Aside from that my nipples hurt, but AF isnt even due until the 3rd so I am still thinking that it might just be AF coming early.

 

[Lovebug71210]

Our temps went from the 80s to the 40s and they are calling for snow wednesday, thursday, and friday. I will be taking down the outside Halloween decorations today. We live on a dead end st so no one is going to really see them anyways and I am not taking them down in the snow! I was spoiled living in NC for 2.5 years. I am not ready for snow this early.

 

[bella21]

hey guys!!! I think AF is coming for me as well. starting to feel some af cramps. been super tired and bbs are hurting. tested this morning bfn. Not late yet though either.

Were getting a hurricane here tomorrow....in PENNSYLVANIA! and its going to be really bad. they're saying they've never seen anything like it before. Its coming from the atlantic and then curving right into the northeast which has never ever happened before. They're expecting power outages for as long as 2 weeks for at least 1 million people so ill be surprised if we don't lose power. Went out last night and stocked up on some food and water and lots of candles! flashlights are already sold out and generators are sold-out everywhere in the east coast. its gonna be crazy. so if I don't get to reply to you ladies thats why!

meg I hope your pregnancy is going along great and lauren I hope AF doest show up for you! Ive been getting loads of creamy cm as well.

 

[Lovebug71210]

I'm in Ohio and were supposed to get hit but the reports keep changing on how bad we will get it.

 

[mvosse]

Mandi and Lauren, I'll be keeping you both in my thoughts during this icky hurricane. Pregnancy is going good so far, ultrasound on the 10th, I don't remember if I told you both or not, and I don't want to go back and read at this exact moment. the waves of nausea seem to have stopped the last few days, but if I don't have a bra on I just wanna cry

I took the princess trick or treating Saturday, and she went to see Hotel Transylvania with her Dad today.

Wishing you both lots of baby dust and maybe the won't rear her ugly head for either one of you!

 

[bella21]

Lauren I hope it doesn't hit you guys!! Im in bethlehem pa and its literally heading right towards us. Luckily we have a casino right down the street that has a ridiculous backup generator so me and OH can go eat and get out if we need to.

Meg I'm glad you're nausea is clearing up a bit!!! I hope trick or treating was fun and your LO loved it!!!!! No AF yet ... trying to hold out testing for another 2 or 3 days since bfn this morning and I've just been driving myself nuts hoping that Im actually pg so I need to calm down with POAS just a little bit lol. Thanks for your thoughts with this hurricane. They're now saying the 75mph winds may turn into 90mph gusts. The really WEIRD thing is that last year on the same exact week almost to the day we had a freak snow storm here on halloween that knocked out power for a week in almost the whole lehigh valley where I live. No lie there were literally trees falling down in front of me on my drive home from work. Everybody stocked up on backup generators and thought "we'll never have to use these ever again"....here we are a year later having the worst hurricane they have ever seen. Should be a fun week I'll keep you ladies updated as much as I can!!!

 

[Lovebug71210]

They have already designated shelters and delayed schools. Some places have delayed trick or treating, but my county hasnt yet. I went to the store and stocked up on some canned goods, which were on major sales so it worked out. I also got a bag of ice and a case of water so we should be all set. DH has a ton of batteries and flahslights on hand at all times so we should be good. I am charging up all the ipads, iphones, laptops, and anything else I can think of that can entertain DS if we lose power. I dont think we will get it bad, but younever know.

 

[Lovebug71210]

Meg Im glad to hear the nausea is getting better! With DS I was always nauseaus but never threw up. I was in morning sickness pergatory! It was awful! Hopefully you will feel much better from here on out!

 

[bella21]

well were officially declared state of emergency. powers flicked once so far...i give it an hour and it'll be gone. I'm hoping i can get this laundry done before it goes or ill be having clothes hang drying all over my apartment lol! we have 2 bags of ice and a case of water as well. (and a case of beer and some wine that ill be drinking if AF comes) ! haha. Lauren grab a car charger for your phone if you don't already have one just in case )

lots of love ladies! ttys hopefully!

 

[bella21]

lauren how are you? i didn't end up losing power but literally everybody surrounding me did except my street. did the storm hit you?

 

[Lovebug71210]

Hey! We didnt get it too bad. Some people lost power and a few roads flooded, but nothing like they thought it was going to be. Im glad you guys made out okay!

 

[bella21]

everybody around me got it really bad but for some reason my street didn't its kind of weird. Glad to hear you're safe!

 

[mvosse]

Great to hear the both of you are safe and sound!!! How are you both doing?
