[MrsAmk]

Molly I need your address now too! I didn't want to send anything until you were sure it was a boy.

Aw that is sweet, I will PM ya

D'awww congrats Molly!!!

I hope we don't get it too, I also drive ~45 min also in rush hour traffic every morning, and it's like people lose their minds at the sight of a snowflake!!

I don't think we are supposed to get much. More rain/ice then snow. Which I would rather have snow.

Hello Ladies-

Hope you all had a wonderful turkey weekend. Mine was soooo busy with family, now I am EXHAUSTED! If If If I have energy tonight, my plan was to pack my hospital bag, but it might have a wait a few days. Doc apt at 2pm, I am sure everything is all good with Alia because she can't stop dancing in my belly... LOVE IT!

Amelia- CONGRATS GIRL!!!! Do you think you are going to look for a house in Denver or move on?

Attached are the pictures of Alia's room all finished and ready to go (minus a few things that need cleaning and packing a bag).

Ooh I love that dresser

 

[morganwhite7]

Nikki- Get to packin' that bag girlie!! Haha.. I was already dilated by 35 weeks so that will be fun to see if you've made any progression!

I think DH is pretty bummed about not getting to go to scan today. He asked me about it at 5:30 this morning before he went to work then text me about it again at 8 on his break. Poor guy, wish he could have gotten to come. I think he got bummed out about not getting to see him/her move after I showed him a video of a 12 week scan. Really hoping that they'll let me take a little video for him.

On another note, feeling SUPER nauseous this morning, hoping that zofran kicks in soon because I don't want to move for fear of puking.

 

[asmcsm]

Nikki! That's only 34 days away!! So soon!! Seems like you found out you were preggo only a couple months ago

 

[morganwhite7]

Good luck Ashlee! It will be awesome.. they do bounce around quite a bit at the 12 week scan.. will they do the NT measurements too? Have fun sweetie, just enjoy seeing your little bubba. It will get real for DH when he can feel movements.. I remember it wasn't til that day with Jaxon that hubbs really started to "talk baby" you know? It's so amazing when they kick daddy. But FX'd they let you sneak a video peek

And HOW THE HECK am I almost HALFWAY already girls?!?! Jeesh time has really flown being so busy with work I guess. I just can't wait to meet this little girlie!!!

Mirolee-Yay for the digi!!! I can't wait for your scan

Molly-Yay for a little boy!

I cannot even tell you girls all the pains I get! lol I pull muscles quite often. It started at 5 weeks and now I get it at least once or twice a week. Sometimes my uterus just feels sore. Sometimes it just feels full of pressure. Sometimes it all feels fine. It's crazy what goes on in there...
However, definitely feeling movement more and more. I think baby b, the boy, might have an anterior placenta based on the 3D scan we got, but not sure. Most of the movement I feel is down low, so I'm pretty sure it's baby a. I will feel weird pressure in my stomach and on my cervix. Felt a kick the other day from the outside and DW felt some tiny movements last night. I love it! I can't wait for them to really start wrestling in there lol

 

[morganwhite7]

^Julie when is your real anatomy scan so we'll know for sure?

 

[jury3]

Same day as Mirolee-December 18th at 12:45...I'm so excited and nervous for that appointment! I can't wait to see them again and make sure they are what we think they are, but nervous bc they'll be doing the anatomy stuff and I just hope all is ok!

 

[morganwhite7]

Same here.. mine is Thursday and I keep thinking crazy thoughts like "..what if she's missing some fingers/toes?" etc. So silly I know, but you can't help but worry about everyyything with these little beans! But yaaahoo the 18th will be quite exciting then!!

 

[wavescrash]

Sorry to skip over everyone's updates but we found out today we were approved for an apartment and move in date is set for December 14th

 

[brunettebimbo]

 

[wavescrash]

Good luck on all the upcoming scans lady

I'll have another one in 2-3 weeks depending on when they can fit me in but mine is just to follow-up on placental lakes, nothing exciting lol.

 

[morganwhite7]

yayaya Waves!! So fun. And don't worry, ik you have Hannah too, but we don't have an extra room for baby and I'm sure it'll be just fine. Our lease is up next July so hopefully we can upgrade. Either way, Hannah has a room as well as you guys, and baby can stay in the bassinet or whatnot.

I'm really not worried, as much as I'd like to paint and decorate, it's just not in our budget esp with me quitting work once I deliver. And if you really think about it.. you won't want that baby but 5 feet away from you all night so you can make sure she's alright. I'm sure it'll be fine and dandy. We're a bit cramped with all our CRAP but hey, SO MUCH BETTER than the friggin in-laws or drunken/judgemental parents lol. Such a relief to get to relax your way without them breathing down your neck. So happy for you guys

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

That's awesome Amanda!!!!

 

[wavescrash]

Thanks Morgan The second room is pretty small but Leah will room with us in the Rock & Play sleeper for the first 3 months or so. We're going to find a way to fit both Hannah & Leah in the second room. Hannah will be transitioning to toddler bed around then so hopefully we can find something that takes up a little less space than a crib? LOL I don't know. We just have to fit 2 cribs/beds and 2 dressers in there. It comes with a built in shelf on the wall so we can get rid of the bookshelf I have in Hannah's room now. I'm going to rely on Pinterest for space-saving ideas but it's harder in an apartment because most space-saving ideas require you to utilize the walls (screwing things in) and apartment walls don't hold things up so well.

I'm just so excited. I can't wait to get out of here and have my own kitchen. Not have to live in our bedroom all day & night. Not have my parents pets peeing all over everything. Be able to SEE my own cats again (they've been locked up in my mom's back room because she said they were spraying even though all her pets are doing it too.) Not have to deal with her alcoholic-tendencies. Be able to watch TV again. Hannah will have more room to play. Cannot wait.

 

[morganwhite7]

I'd strongly consider a bunk bed! Then you'd have plenty of room

Haha these are cute-

The ones where the bottom bunk is on the floor would be good for Hannah if she's transitioning and the little slides are so cute too!! lol
