Allstar-I think I will wash the baby clothes at 36/37 weeks. But I plan to wash the baby clothes for the hospital bag just before I Pack it at 33/34 weeks.
 
Yo yo that's about the time I was planning doing them. Still need a few more bits and pieces for my hospital bag too! I barely used it last time as I was only in hospital a total of 4 and a half hours but Thai time could be different so better be prepared :)
 
It's my bday and I turn 35 today. What?!? How did that happen???:saywhat: I still feel 22.
 
Wow allstars 4 and a half hours sounds lovely. I was in for a day and a half but the birth centre was quiet and he would not latch.

Love the nursery rbourre and how you're so organised! I hope to be all done and ready by next week. I wasn't sure when to wash all his clothes though, I can't remember when I did it for the other two. I don't want to wash them too early but don't want to leave it too late! lol to those who are washing babies things, when are you doing them? :)

The insurance thing over in the US sounds complicated! What happens if people don't have the extra money for all these things?

Excited to book our 3d scan on Wednesday when dh knows his holidays :) they said they should be able to fit me in asap so it should be soon!

I don't have the money! They set me up on a payment plan.
 
Geralyn-- Happy Birthday!!!!! Hope you have a wonderful day :)

As for the insurance.... I can't complain since I've been with the normal OB and not the Specialist I have had zero out of pocket expense. Also I only have a $200 inpatient copay. Along with insurance paying for a breast pump.
 
We made an offer on a new house yesterday, waiting to hear back. If all goes well we close two days before my due date. I'm insane right?

It was, I was desperate to get home to our little boy lol we arrived at hospital at 9.45am, dd was born at 10.00 and we were home by 2.15pm :) the birth was all very straightforward though so hoping for a similar experience this time.
 
Oh that's good newlywed. Pregnancy is a worrying enough time as it is, I can't imagine having to worry about paying for care and sorting insurance on top of it all. I admire you US ladies.

Happy birthday Geralyn :)

Good luck with the house offer Jcliffe!
 
My friend had a baby boy Saturday and we get to go visit them today! Also have my 28 week appointment and tdap shot today. I think from now on I start going every 2 Weeks. Holy gas money z takes 1.5 hours one way
 
Thanks for all the comments on the nursery. I still want to put something else up in there, but I haven't decided what yet. I also want to get name plaques or something for the front of the kids doors. We are renting, so I can't paint or anything which is why we put the decals on the wall.

I know I washed the clothes early, but August is a very busy month for us and I wouldn't have time to spend a weekend doing it and I didn't want to leave it until September. Plus, our daughter was gone away this weekend with my mom and sister so it was easy to do it while we had a kid free weekend.

Today I am 28+2, the same gestation that I was admitted to the hospital with my blood pressure around 165/125 when pregnant with my daughter. She was born 10 days later at 29+5. I just took my blood pressure and it was 123/75. :D I am so glad everything is going so well this time and really hope I can make it to at least 37 weeks. I will be happy in 11 days when I pass 29+5 and everything is still going great.
 
So it looks like I failed my 1 hour test by 1 point. Scheduled my 3 hour for Friday morning. :(

Happy birthday Geralyn! Hope you have a great day! And based on pictures I've seen of you you definitely don't look 35 either!

Jcliff, you might be a little crazy, but on the bright side you have a GREAT excuse to just watch everybody work! It might actually be slightly genius! Good luck on getting approved!

Cntrygrl That really sucks. One point is nothing! Was it one you fasted on before or did you eat before?

I'm starting to get awfully uncomfortable. I don't even have a darn baby bump, I haven't gained any weight, but walking is starting to get painful on my hips and pelvis. And I finally learned what it meant when people said you'll know when you can't sleep on your back anymore. Holy uncomfortable! I hate sleeping on either one of my sides. I was a stomach sleeper and sleeping on my back was to me the next best thing. Now, I am waking up every couple of hours to re-adjust my position.

Anyway, I've uploaded a picture that was taken last week, to show there is nothing really there. Granted, I am 6ft tall and obviously I'm overweight so it's not too surprising that there's no bump. I'm still patiently waiting my baby bump!

Girl, you look great--enjoy being able to still wear those cute work out clothes and not having to transition into shlumpy sweats yet lol!! The bump will come! : ) In the meantime, I hope you find a comfy way to sleep--that sounds miserable. Have you tried a pregnancy pillow to make side sleeping a bit easier?

Yeah I second that about the bump thing. I can't hardly wear tank tops any more because inevitably the bottom of my stomach starts peaking out the bottom :/ Also with this being your 1st, it is not unusual for your stomach muscles to prevent you from having a proper bump- just think when you have you second you will be bumpy in no time :)
 
Well our offer was accepted for the new house! We are so excited it's like our dream house! But sellers wanted to close legit on my c section date. I laughed! Ya right! So we have to change the date! Also I have a dr apt Thursday I want to ask for a grown scan because I feel like my due date is off! Baby feels huge
