[Twinsie]

Love seeing the bumps ladies!!!! So cute!!

Ok so DH and I are going to tell his family on Easter in a few weeks and I've been thinking of fun ways to announce we are pregnant. I won't wanna wait long once we get there to announce. So I'm thinking, Either putting the ultrasound pic in a happy Easter card for his mom to open up right when we get there. Making an appetizer shaped as something fun to announce it?! Orr I don't know. Ideas?!?

 

[WunnaBubba2]

I've always wanted to do fun ideas but when we fell pregnant I just blurted it ou lol

 

[MamaBunny2]

Maybe an Easter basket and something with an egg? I think someone in this thread did an egg announcement...

Although my OH has put in a lot of manpower in the past few days and the bedroom remodel is really coming along I came to the realization that my excitement for paint, carpet and the final touches is going to have to be put on hold for some time until we have a second income again.

Here's some photos of the before/work in progress:

Brick hearth and wall with gun safe and wood burner, plus tons of junk and boxes in room still (even though a lot had been removed)


Most of the boxes of crap removed. That wall (for closet) was not there prior. My OH framed it all up, hung drywall and I mudded and sanded it.


Still more crap. Other wall of closet near light switch. Doorway looking out into another room downstairs. Still need to removed wall border, rest of crap and carpet.


My OH took down the old lights and installed recessed lighting in the new closet area as well as the room.

 

[MamaBunny2]

Still a work in progress but much has been done:

Rest of the crap, carpet and wall border has been removed.


Most of walls are primed. Hearth and woodburner gone. Brick wall covered with drywall and mudded.


Door installed


As of now everything is ready to finish priming for actual paint and carpet can be installed. Then it's just finishing touches such as baseboard, window trim, bifold closet doors, closet shelving and window blinds. We picked out two complimentary shades of a neutral gray color for paint and will be using white trim.

I love gray and white together. That will look nice!

What about an Easter basket filled with candies and a cute Easter outfit for next year?

Happy 26 weeks!!!! Look at that difference between 18 and 26 weeks)!

 

[WunnaBubba2]

I just want to eat that bump up!!!! Not literally of course! I'm such a bump perve - I love it!!!!

Jyllian those renovations are coming on nicely! Cannot wait to see when it is all finished

Jamie, I like Jess' idea of an easter basket. You can hide the outfit under the candies or you can do a digital pregnancy test the morning, put it in a ziplock bag and hide that between the candies?

Ultrasound pushed back because the tech called in and they are down to one. Waiting not so patiently right now

 

[WunnaBubba2]

My u/s was like that as well at 20 weeks and I hated to wait like that! Drove me bonkers so all my sympathy and empathy Jess.
Hopefully not too long and you'll get to see your little one

AHhhhh! I"m here!! I'm here! OMG.

I feel SO tired lately, what's going on?! Super annoying. We've been crazy busy BUT we had a doctor's appt yesterday and found the heartbeat! Just for a few seconds each time as baby is swimming around like a little fish and my uterus is a bit tilted. I met with a different doctor and didn't really like her so.. hopefully she wont be the one delivering my LO! Haha. But we've booked the anatomy scan for 2 months from now - I don't even have a clue how I'll make it!

Pam you are gooooorgeous!!! I love your hair too! I cut mine after the wedding and loved it when it was super short but now it's at an awkward length and I can't wait for it to be super long again

Twinsie Easter ideas are so cute! Did you see the little eggs we did for our family? It would be perfect timing!

Cheryl I love that egg idea!!! Thanks!!!!! And thank you to the other ladies too for your ideas! The Easter egg basket with a little outfit is adorable too! Or prego test! I don't know which to choose! DH will have to help me decide

Cheryl I'm so happy you were able to hear the heartbeat! That's incredible. I can imagine it being an overwhelming moment.

Jess- that stinks you have to wait longer !!! Is it scheduled yet? Boo! I'm bummed for you.

 

[WunnaBubba2]

Thanks Cheryl
I'm cutting it again tomorrow because it just doesn't want to grow now. I haven't needed a cut since falling pregnant and the pic doesn't show my awesome mullet that is starting

So I'll go back to pixie cut and then after Matthew is born I'll hopefully get my quick growing hair back

Glad you found the heart beat!!! We'll all be here waiting with your for that scan

 

[melewen]

Speaking of.. Jess when are you announcing?!

I'm 6 weeks and this is my bloat. I've already gained 5 lbs, super hungry all the time, and very frequent urination. Has anyone been this bloated this early? There is no hiding my belly. Im wearing everything in maternity now...
