Cute ornament Cassidy! I think it's ok to announce earlier than 12 weeks, it's just what you feel comfortable with. We had a really hard time keeping it a secret, so many people already knew when we finally announced on fb. I felt kind of the same way you do...after the 8 week scan your chances go way down. If something were to happen after that, it's almost easier for people to know bc you'd be a wreck.
Rachel-I'm so sorry you're sick! Did you get a flu shot? My doc talked me into even though I NEVER get them...I hope you feel better soon!

Thanks for asking Kara! Not really...I will definitely finish out my contract no matter what bc that will give me insurance and pay through August. I'm not going to lie, it's scary to think about actually making the change. I just know something has to change. I definitely need to do more research into what is out there for me that I won't hate, has decent hours and decent pay. I'm also not sure how that search is going to go with me being pregnant or having newborns. Secretly I think I might like to be a stay-at-home mom...we'll have to see how finances work out though lol Right now DW just laughs at the idea!

haha I know what you mean. I'm very lucky to love my job, it's the only place I've ever worked and only place I ever plan on working)! My mother HATES her job, she does pensions for the city workers in the city we live it. Has trouble with her boss, lazy coworkers that she has to pick up the load for, so I totally know where you're coming from! I urge her constantly to find new work doing something she will actually enjoy (as much as one can enjoy going to work)! You deserve to be happy with what you're doing even if it means a little bit of financial strain! You'll make the finances work, it's the happiness and job satisfaction that counts the most (if you ask me)!!

Awe that is absolutely adorable Nikki!
Julie, i'd love to be a SAHM too! I know thinking about finances makes it seem impossible, but a baby doesn't NEED much, we just THINK they need tons
lol. (Well that sounded a little silly, I know babies need a lot but when it all comes down to it if they're in a loving and safe environment they'll be fine.)

Rachel-that's annoying...and part of the reason I usually don't get one lol
Kara-I agree. After I research we will have to sit down and look at finances. No matter what I know it will be worth it in the end bc I'll be happier and healthier and we will be happier as a family.
Cassidy-lol I know what you mean. They need a lot, but a good portion of it is love and attention. Between bf and cloth diapers, we shouldn't be too bad off on monthly expenses. Obviously they need other things too, but food and love are the most important lol I haven't checked in to daycare yet but that may play a huge factor in the end...

Nikki that is so cute!
Rachel that sucks. Doc talked me into it as well, normally I give it a miss although a few years ago i was sick for about three months and when I told my housemate I was thinking of not getting it he yelled at me.. hehe.
Cassidy it's so hard. I've started telling a few people. Close and not so close friends. It depends on the situation... I'm suddenly leaving LA so people get suspicious and often ask why and then suggest pregnancy as the reason. lol. I was always the career gal so this sudden change of heart is VERY strange and out of character. We told the siblings last night at dinner and it went well. My brother in law in particular kept saying "you guys are going to have a baby!!" It was kind of cute. He's going to be a good uncle.
Speaking of... Julie... I'm in the same boat - this baby has changed things v quickly. I'm leaving my job months earlier and now we are thinking it's very possible I won't work for a few years. We need to get a house and furniture and set everything up and that's going to take quite a while. It's very possible that, although I'll contact my people in Denver when I arrive, they won't have anything suitable for me to do (field producing for example will have me traveling and that's not going to work out).
I'm thinking about alternative things I can do while I'm a SAHM *particularly because we are thinking of actively trying for irish twins*. I love planning and project management and we have renovated houses before. Pete and I were talking about going into real estate and me manage house renovations which I can do from home. We have to run numbers but if it were possible - renovating one house per year would be terrific for me so I didn't fully step away from feeling like I was involved in brining in money for the household.

Cassidy I love the ornament!
Happy swing day everyone! 1 week to my v-day!!
Nikki - didn't you have the flu? Or was it a stomach bug? Did you have to take tamiflu? I'm still so bummed about 1) catching the flu and 2) having to take tamiflu. People are ending up intubated from this years strains. And I not only tested positive for type A, but also type B. I'm really hoping the tamiflu keeps me from getting really ill, but it's only a symptom reducer...not a cure. I'm not so much worried about feeling sick, just what it can do to my baby. Influenza can cause preterm labor it's no bueno in pregnant chicks...

A huge, fucking frozen tree branch took out the 900$ swingset and a panel of our vinyl fence in our back yard today. My poor hubby has been out plowing for 15+hours and well be lucky if we break even once we replace everything. Shit like this shouldn't be allowed to happen in December. I hate winter with a passion, just started and I'm already over it...FUUUUUCK!!!

That really sucks Kara. I do not miss real winters!
And yeah, I hate December already too. My furnace went out which is bs bc we just bought our house. Well all is good bc we have a home warranty. So I'm told, all you have to pay is the $75 service fee....WELL nope! They only pay $10/pound towards freon and my outside unit takes 9 pounds. So we also have to pay $450 for them to take out my perfectly good freon, fix the part that's broken, then put new freon in, wasting the freon that was already in there. It makes no sense. And it sucks to shell out money right before Christmas. And I'm sure my electric bill is going to be outrageous since the part that broke caused my AC to turn on instead of heat and blew freezing cold air allllll day while we were at work.....not to mention that the service man turned on our emergency heat which probably costs more too. Damn you winter.

I'm sorry I'm so awful keeping up over here! I hope you're all well. I read along some, but I don't often comment. I can't believe you all are so far along already! It seems like you jut got your BFP's!
Rachel, sorry about the flu. Ugh! Hope you feel better soon! I was so nervous about that last year.

Love the ornament, Cassidy! 
Sorry you've got the flu, Rachel! 
Hope you get better soon with the tamiflu!
Cute night light thing for Alia, Nikki!
Disney, sorry to hear about all the damage from the frozen tree branch! Curse you frozen tree branch! 
I'm not a big fan of winter, either. It's pretty when it snows, but I hate the cold and I hate the mess and difficulty the snow and freezing causes.

I graduated from my Demi-bra today, spot on seven weeks. So now instead of my only symptom being sore boobs, it's big sore boobs. I wish I could just have one moment of nausea or something... I'm excited and scared for my scan Wednesday. Hoping it will be good and give me a little peace until 12 weeks.
