Oh wow only 35 paid days is really tough!
But glad you and baby are doing well! I can't remember sorry, have you found out what you're having?

 

[lvksa]

Heike - Yeah, 35 days isn't too much, but I'm happy with it as it could be nothing. I'm having a surprise, haha. I don't want to know the gender.

 

[krissie328]

Ivksa- I hope you get some rest soon. Sounds like an exhausting trip to go right back into working.

 

[lvksa]

Krissie - it was definitely a long trip. Ive got a long weekend now, so that should help .

Oh how exciting that you're team yellow!

So exciting that you're team yellow! I have considered doing that for #2, but I'm not sure. DH would love it if we went team yellow. For this first one I was definitely not going to wait to find out.


AFM - this has been such a great school year so far, especially compared to last year. The kids are a million times easier to handle and I'm really enjoying my classes. I am VERY EXHAUSTED at the end of the day, but that's not abnormal.

Today I had to go to the store and pick up a couple pairs of maternity pants. I had 1 pair from a friend, and 1 pair of dress slacks from my sister, but otherwise I've got nothing else that fits anymore except for shorts/capris and moving into winter I needed a couple more to make it through my week. I'm lucky I work for a low-key school district that is very relaxed on dress code. I can wear just about anything as long as I don't look too sloppy (sweat pants probably not good, but jeans are a definite "ok", though I don't usually switch to jeans until second semester). I just throw on a nice blouse and I'm good to go.

My sister and I went to Ross because I didn't want to spend more than a few $ on any maternity items but of course that meant we also were looking at smoe adorable tops so I ended up going for 2 pairs of pants and coming back with that plus several tops and some more baby clothes.

Well ladies.. I have news!

I am now a fiancee 😍😍 OH proposed on saturday and it was the most romantic thing i could have imagined, he really went all out!

 

[Angel5000]

Congrats!!! That's so exciting!!!

 

[krissie328]

Congrats Heike!! That is fabulous.

 

[lvksa]

Congratulations, Heike! ������

Thanks so much, we're still on cloud9 and i love how everytime i told how he proposed at work today everyone was like "ooh that's so romantic". He feels very pleased with himself also and rightly so!

Here's a picture:

 

[krissie328]

Beautiful ring!! So how did he propose?

 

[cupcake.]

Well he was supposedly gone on a business trip this weekend. I had my baby shower on saturday so was at my parents house all day.

After everyone was gone my sister drove me home and insisted on carrying all the presents but instead of going into the house she went around into the back yard so of course i followed her and was all like "where the heck is she going?!" Haha

Well on the back yard there was a chair and table and a big screen and all covered by fairy lights! It was so beautiful! My sister told me to sit down and then a video started playing on the screen. He had made a video with all our friends and family kind of telling our story over the last 5 years and then the last clip was of him holding a sign that read "turn around" and i did and then he was there going down on one knee and asked me to marry him 😍 It was so beautiful and the way he had planned it all (since november last year and everyone obviously knew except me!) is just so special! ❤️😍

 

[krissie328]

Oh that is so so romantic!! Definitely a beautiful story to share.

 

[Blackrain90]

Omg Heike that is so romantic, congratulations!!!

 

[Blackrain90]

So question- what are the odds of getting pregnant while use condoms that don't fit properly? They didn't break to my knowledge, but they don't go down as far as they should on him.

I'm sure I'm just being paranoid, but I've been feeling bleh lately (dizzy and headache/exhaustion) and I can't bring myself to pay a lot for a test haha. I haven't even had a period since Parker.

 

[krissie328]

Heather- I'd think pretty small. But I'd probably get a cheap one just for peace of mind.

 

[cupcake.]

I agree with krissie, it's probably nothing but just for peace of mind it's probably worth taking a cheapie.

Afm, had another dr appointment today. First off, Baby Girl is doing really well, no problems and we even got a cheeky little 3d picture of her squishy little face

But, the bad news, i am now on pelvic rest because my cervix is already shortened to 25mm and slightly open.. I really really hope it won't progress any further and she stays put at least another 5 weeks!

 

[krissie328]

How precious! Hopefully she stays put a few more weeks yet.

 

[Angel5000]

Heike - beautiful ring!! And so romantic! I love that picture of baby! I hope she stays put!

Black - I'd say probably pretty slim. If it broke I'd say much higher, but if it just didn't fit all the way I think it's not a big chance. Maybe pick up a cheap test just for peace of mind?
