Viking - if you have a red crib maybe you could do a ladybug theme? Black red and white??

What a great idea! I was kind of stumped on the red crib myself (even though I love love love red), but a ladybug theme is fantastic I think! Just googled it and thought this was cute --

I think we're pretty much decided on a Dr. Seuss nursery...I like that it's gender neutral (for future kids) and I love that it's so creative/whimsical and centered on learning/books. Not sure if I will even come close to replicating this room, but I just fell in love that bookcase. It's ridiculous! And red! (love red)

MommyH & Wishful -- bummer :( If it's any consolation, I haven't felt movement either.....well, no definite kicks anyway. I'm pretty sure I can feel her moving around/rolling just about every day, but I'm not entirely positive. I also have anterior placenta, so that probably doesn't help either.

Do you guys have appts coming up soon so you can get some peace of mind? :hugs:

[A friend is letting me use her breast pump. I still need to do some research to find out if that is ok. She assured me that it was.

My pump was a friend's - if you sterilise it properly, I see no reason why you can't use a second-hand pump.
 
We almost did that ladybug nursery!! It's so cute I love it and I think it would look awesome with a red crib :) as well as the dr seuss one, I love that too!

Our appt is tomorrow, we have our 20 week ultrasound and then our 20 week checkup right afterwards! I don't have a Doppler either so I'm in desperate need for reassurance... When I went for my private scan at 16 weeks the tech said I have an anterior placenta as well but I thought for this being my second kiddo I should feel something by now (daughter #1 was at 16 weeks) ...at least feel something inside, I didn't expect to feel anything outside yet...it's still so scary!

We are doing a camouflage/hunting/wildlife theme...we couldn't find much for girl camo bedding so my mom and I sewed up a storm yesterday and designed our own :) We also have mismatching furniture since it was all given to us but I don't really care lol I love love love how everything is turning out...here are some progress pics :)

I can't wait to get it all finished :)
 
Oh my gosh!!! THATS IT!!! Nursery theme decided!! LOVING the Ladybug theme!! I might need to grab my mother for some sewing session to fix all that together as I cant seem to find a shop here that sells that theme!! Boohoo but at least I will put my sewing machine to good use for the first time in almost 10 years!! YAY YAY!!!
 
The ladybugs are cute! I guess I need to go to the fabric store for some inspiration. Someone suggested red gingham, but my sister used that in my niece's room. I would like to be a little bit more original. But if push comes to shove... I just need to browse. I get overwhelmed with all the options! I've looked online and my brain just kind of explodes.
 
Had an appointment today, everything is looking good. In and out in 20 minutes.

Made the appointment for my ultrasound! July 11th! I'll be 21 weeks!
 
how exciting, bookity! :)
i have an appointment tomorrow and we'll be scheduling our ultrasound then.
 
Hope you don't have to wait too long bexx! I really was wishing I could get an appointment on the 4th, but didn't really expect that to happen.
 
Loving all the nursery theme talk and pictures! :)

Baby shower talk: Since my girls are all so close in age, with my 2nd baby I didn't want to have a real baby shower but I did have a small get together to celebrate having another baby join our family and I did a diaper only drawing. In case you don't know what that is: You have everyone bring a package of any size diapers and if they bring one you put their name in a hat and draw a name at the end for a prize. I ended up with so many diapers at both of my showers this way and didn't have to buy any for like 4 months! I will be doing the same thing this time since I basically have everything still. :) Just an idea!
I had an ultrasound yesterday and she's 14 ounces and measured right in between the 2 dates I've been given.
Hope you are all doing well. :)
 
So fun to hear about everyone's nursery themes! I haven't done a THING yet, but like you, Mrs., I'm obsessed with grey walls and bold accents. I'm also so into the idea of making the room elephant themed. I love elephants and every time I go into Target, Babies R Us, etc, I see elephant stuff. CANNOT wait to get started...

I had a moment today where I just felt so overwhelmed and behind. I really haven't done anything yet - no maternity tour, childbirth classes, registering, nursery prep, coming up with a name... I just feel like I have so much time, but before we know it, I'll be halfway there on Friday! Anyone else feeling overwhelmed?
 
Oh yes!! As soon as we found out the gender I went into hyperdrive on getting prepared! I feel behind, too. I've started our registry, I picked out the bedding today, and I literally just ordered the crib & mattress. I know we still have months ahead of us, but I feel like I need to get as much done now as I can. I need to calm down!! :haha:
 
Haven't thought much about nursery design yet. If we are having another girl, they'll share a room so we just need another crib. If it's a boy our guest bedroom becomes nursery number 2. I was thinking maybe a Noah's Ark theme.
 
cavalley- the idea that i'm new to this and probably have no real concept of how far behind i actually am is totally terrifying and overwhelming! i'm just thankful i have the whole summer home to get things sorted out!
 
It's my 3rd baby and I'm overwhelmed! Haha..and its my 3rd girl and I hardly really need anything but still feel like we have a million things to do to be prepared before she comes! :) It's normal...
 
Warning....Pregnancy Hormone Induced Post ahead

This morning OH was up at 4am packing. He got a call last night from his job that they need him to drive 4 hours away to another job site and work there for at least a few days. With his company that usually ends up being a week :sad2: I am oh so thankful that he has a job, but we have a feeling they are wanting him to go there permanatly and that is not ok with either of us. Its just a hectic week here for me with my job, and getting my son to and from summer school, as well as the loads of homework I have from my summer classes that I am a bit spoiled when he is here. He defiently helps keep me sane. Not to mention he rubs my back every night before bed to help me fall asleep, something I get none of when he is away.

Okay end of whiney rant. :blush:

OTOH, I have started my registery.
 
Aw, MommaBarry - I understand how you feel. My DH also gets short notice for out of town trips (he's gone for 1-2 weeks at a time every month or so, so it's not too terrible), but I know that it can cause a lot of stress when it's really short notice. Hugs to you!!

I think we've officially picked our bedding!! YIPPEE!! I'm really drawn to bright colors (I love green & blue), so natrually that's what I've been looking at for the nursery. Originally I wanted to do gray walls, but we have tan trim throughout our house and gray would clash which would mean we'd have to paint the trim too, which would just be a hassle, so we've decided to incorporate the gray in the bedding and paint the walls a pale aqua. Here's what we're thinking:

(this is not our house. It's from babybedding.com and you can change the color of the walls, trim, carpet, etc.)

And this is the decal I was planning on putting above the crib:

Super excited, I have my OFFICAL gender scan app today at 2pm EST....I can finally confirm that they are both girls and then hubby will be on board to picking another name out. I feel really behind too as we have to clean out the spare room for the girls and I want to redo the nursey into a big boy room for my son, and I just dont have the energy to get up there yet, especially since its been in the 90s the last few day :(
