TTC and Beyond!

[HWPG]

I have a dr appt on the 18th. It's not exciting, I think a blood draw, but I want to be part of the group! I'm hooping maybe the dr will let me hear the hb or something.....

 

[clynn11]

Hoping for great results with your bloodwork Katrina!!!

Rachel- awesome that you got a lot of stuff at the baby shower!!! You'll have to share some pics!

Sandy- I think a diaper/wipe cookout sounds like a blast!!!

Britt- I prefer Harper Grace too, but love them both. Hope you guys can come to an agreement

Julie- Glad Olivia started wiggling around for you!!!

Mirolee- my midwife gets the doppler out and let's me hear the heartbeat every time. I have another doctors appointment Wednesday for my second blood draw.

 

[Cowgirl07]

Mirolee I hope you get to hear the hb.

 

[wavescrash]

Oh my goodness, this kid has her butt wedged so far in my pelvis tonight. It's probably a dang good thing I've had kids before so that all the ligaments are already super loose otherwise I'm sure this would be a lot more painful - though, I'm not sure that's even possible lol.

I had 2 decent nights in a row so I'm guessing this is her making up for it. I don't really mean to complain so much but oh my god is this miserable lol. I guess on the plus side, she's so low that she's not in my ribs right now.

...... just kidding. she decided to shove her hand up in my ribs again. this kid... so grounded when she gets out here.

 

[frsttimemama]

STG, SOOOO exciting! Can't wait to find out, too! DH was awfully sweet Hope you feel better soon!

Mirolee, I bet they do let you. My doctor always got the Doppler out to listen to the heartbeat if I hadn't had an ultrasound just prior to the appt (I usually had since I had them monthly from 20-32 weeks then 1-2 times per week after that). If not, then ask to hear it.

Katrina, so hopeful for you to get some answers!

Cassidy, that's so soon and so exciting! It seems like you just got your BFP!

Amanda, I'm sorry you're still miserable. Ugh. Hope today is better.

AFM, I'm trying to get up the courage to drink the glucose crap. I already feel like I want to hurl. I just want some toast and a sprite.. butttttt it's water and glucose for this girl. Eww. I think hubby is at least going to take me out to breakfast after this. Maybe getting something in my belly will help; lots of times it seems to. I look like crap today. I feel like crap today. How nice. Haha.

What would you girls have done in this situation?

Saturday night we went to visit DH's sister. She said she had Christmas presents for us (we don't see her often) and when we opened them, they were ALL boy clothes. So i'm just sitting here looking at these clothes like "uh...." and she was like "Oh, I bought this before you found out!" Seriously? Why? I don't want to act like a bitch because my it's not my sister, but why wouldn't she have waited until she could return them? There are no receipts with anything, so I have no idea where it came from. So DH and I were awkwardly looking at these boy clothes knowing we had nothing to do with them. DH just says to her "well, we plan on having more than one" but i'm not a giant fan of having stuff just lay around for YEARS in my house that we don't need. Not only was it Boy's stuff, but most of it was 2T clothing. So If we didn't try until 2016 we wouldn't have a baby until almost or 2017 and then they won't be in 2T for another year or so (AND it would have to be a boy!)

Is it rude to get rid of, or sell these clothes? What am I supposed to do with them?

 

[Cowgirl07]

Wow. Why would she buy boys clothes before you find out? Unisex maybe but boys. I don't know what to say.

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

I know Katrina!!! It wasn't gender neutral in the least. It was ALL BOY.

 

[frsttimemama]

I'd either put it in a box in the back of the closet or get rid of it. Whatever you want to do, of course taking Hubby into consideration.

Glucose test done! And all the rest.. 4 tubes of blood later, I probably am anemic if I wasn't before . Lol. Now off to get something to eat and off to work.

 

[wavescrash]

I just realized I'm in my last ticker box... Uh holy crap.

 

[Cowgirl07]

Gl with the test Sandy.

 

[Cowgirl07]

Lol almost there Amanda.

 

[wavescrash]

Haha slowly but surely also just called to schedule my weekly ob appointment and I go back Wednesday morning at 10am. I'm so happy I don't have to wait until the end of the week!! I usually see her Thursday or Friday late in the day so an earlier appointment is exciting. Also our photographer emailed suggesting 2:30pm on Thursday for our maternity pictures. And Wednesday we're getting our double stroller & Rock-n-Play sleeper so as of Friday, Leah is okay to arrive ASAP lol.

 

[Lotalaughs16]

so much to catch up on ladies...I'll try my best!

Amanda, Yay for an exciting week...hope your maternity photo shoot goes well and then Leah can make her entrance into the world so you're more comfortable. oh an Congrats on DH getting the job!

Ash, that's really awesome about the birth pics, I bet they will turn out amazing... I was looking through the online albums on your studio's FB page...I wish I lived in CA so I could hire them!

Britt, I can't wait to buy things for my baby in the future... I'm already going a little browsing crazy over our puppy lol

Julie, that's very nerve-wracking about Olivia not kicking as much... I would go with your gut and call your OB if you're feeling uneasy about it.

Rachel, yay for Ellie being spoiled at your shower!! I hope the rest of your pregnancy is not too uncomfortable.

Morgan, cute bump pics!!

I'm reallly, really sorry if i missed anyone which I'm sure I did...I'll try to keep up lol

Amanda - babies r us is doing a trade up event where you get 25% off if you bring in a used item. Something to consider...as I type this I think I remember you are getting the stuff at target? Soooooo nevermind lol.

Yeah I thought about doing the trade-in thing at BRU since we have our old stroller but with my team member discount plus 10% off coupon plus red card savings plus an ongoing sale, Target is our best bet for the stroller and rock & play.

Hahah thanks though

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Yeah, Sandy, that's what i'm worried about. DH has this thing where he doesn't want to upset anyone, so he will probably just want to hold onto it all. We live in a 2 bedroom apartment. We don't have a ton of space. I just don't get why she would give it all to us anyway? She knew it was all boy stuff, but I guess because she had already wrapped it, she didn't feel like messing with it.

 

[RobertRedford]

Amanda, you're SO CLOSE! holy crap. Glad you're feeling better!

Britt, I'd either donate them or save them. If they still have tags, or you could decifer where they came from, maybe return for store credit? I think in this situation, its one of those "well, its the thought that counts" odd gift for sure, but you can only hope that she was *trying* to be nice and considerate.

Cassidy, your gender scan is so soon!So many girls on this thread, I'm feeling boy for you. BUt, I've been wrong 90% of the time so who knows!

Rachel, what is a mumbo? sounds interesting! I can't believe that you're so close to your EDD! When are you planning on taking leave from work? (Or have you already? my apologies if i missed it!)

Julie, the pictures were BEAUTIFUL! I can't wait to see the twins outside of that belly!

 

[Disneybaby26]

Rachel- so glad you had a great shower!! Hope you got to spend a lot of nice time with your family too!!

Ashlee- in so jealous of the photo shoots you have at your disposal!! I know I want to do newborn but I keep going back and forth with the mat shoot idea...I think I wanna go for it!

Julie- so glad Olivia started wiggling! Maybe it will be a reflection of their personalities?! Lol

Katrina- I hope your blood results are back soon!!

Sandy- good luck with the GD test! I totally know what you mean about trying to get the stuff down, blah!!

Britt-congrats on team pink!! I'm so happy for you!! I liked Ella the best until I remembered your last name, now I totally agree on Harper! Haha!

Cass- I cannot wait to find out!! So soon!!

Afm- been so freakin busy!! Got our daycare locked down, took our baby class, had our hospital tour...check, check, check!! just wish this nagging hip pain would go away, but it is what it is! Hope you girls are all having wonderful days!! Xo
