Ouch, Mrs! That must have definitely been difficult -- looks like you handled it with grace though
Wishful -- wow........good luck! I don't envy you! Sometimes I've found that with my mom if I'm just super direct, then I catch her off guard and she doesn't have time to be weirded out and/or offended. But my mom's kinda crazy. lol Also, you could preface it by saying "I know I'm pregnant and crazy planning ahead, but I saw the carseat the other day and was going to buy it, but I remembered that you..." etc. Hope it works out!!
Wow -- I thought I had a rough weekend, it sounds like a lot of you have had some rough days and then some! So sorry to hear about the challenges ladies......hope this means we're all about to get lots of good news and/or smooth sailing from here on out!
AFM.........my 32 week "checkup" yesterday ended up being a trial by fire. After doing the regular measurements, my doctor started talking about seeing a "high risk" specialist immediately, steroid shots for her lungs, twice-a-week NSTs, continued 24 hour urine tests, weekly blood tests, weekly growth scans........THE WORKS! I was so completely floored! A little warning at what *might* be on the horizon would have been nice at my last visit. And THEN he casually mentions that he would be very surprised if I made it past 37 weeks and they will probably have to induce before then. BEFORE?! That's in less than 5 weeks! [insert pregnancy panic attack here]
Anyway..........I've calmed down (a bit) today and am trying to remember that they're just being very vigilant and this is all preventive maintenance -- doesn't mean they've found anything wrong necessarily (other than the pre-E and she's growing like a weed), they're just being cautious. Still kinda freaked me out to hear that I would be most likely delivering in October instead of November! So place your bets ladies........how many more weeks do I have left?
On the plus side, I did pass the 3 hour GTT (yay!), my shower is Saturday, AND I finished the nursery mural (miracle of miracles!). Hope the rest of you ladies have similar joys and happiness to look forward to! Hugs to everyone!! [thanks for letting me vent!]
Come to find out, my ex-boyfriends mother purchased it for me. She always was really good to me and my son, just to bad her one and only child never wanted marriage or kids (something I found out after 4 years of dating) and she REALLY wanted grandbabies. Makes me feel really awkward though. In my mind I know she's thinking this could have been my grandbaby.
))". That way, if she hasn't gotten it you can get it!
That was quite a while though... Unfortunately one of their sons got married last year and he and his wife after a year of infertility just found out that she is not able to have children (she has no eggs 
). It's a really sad situation and his mom said to me "see, if he had just married you like I prayed he would, he would have a son and I would be a grandma". So sad 
On the bright side, I think they're going to adopt so she will be a grandma one way or the other
