TTC and Beyond!

[goldstns]

Emily- I wish I had ideas for you while out of work... and you would assume I would since Ive been out for 2 weeks... but I dont. Could you write on this thread what you have packed in your hospital bag? I know it early for me, but I have been bored... so just thinking.

 

[BubsMom17]

Oh once I get rolling on cleaning and nesting I won't be able to stop! I know that much! LOL! No carpet will go unvacuumed and no germ will go left unbleached! Even the dogs are getting groomed next week.

Thank you for reminding me about my hospital bag. I'm not quite finished yet, but here is the list:

Toiletries (the small bottles) of body wash, shampoo, conditioner, face wash, lotion, deodorant, toothpaste and tooth brush, as well as a brush/comb and hair ties. I also need to pack my glasses and my extra contact lenses along with the solution and cases.
My medication I have to take

Clothes for me:
2 nursing camisoles
Two pairs of sweat pants
Robe
Fuzzy socks
Slippers with rubber soles to walk around in
Pajama pants
A hoodie to leave the hospital in
Granny panties (a few pairs... though they do give you crazy mesh undies to wear that are like giant maxi pads since you bleed like a mo-fo).

For baby:
A handful of onesies since baby boy's enjoy peeing on themselves as soon as their weenies are exposed
Baby socks
A newborn beanie my friend knitted for me
His going home outfit
- The hospital provides blankets and diapers and wipes for baby, and then they send home a lot of stuff so I don't have to worry about bringing any of that stuff.

Misc items:
Camera
Phone
Chargers
Gatorade for Daniel and I while I'm in labor
Snacks for both of us (granola bars)

It seems like a lot when you write it out, but it's not that much actually! LOL!

Yay for upcoming gender scans!! I've got my first appointment today *bites nails* Waiting until 3 o' clock is gonna drive me bonkers!

Emily, I'm 23 + 2013= 2036 Girl for me according to Mayan and MOST Chinese calculators haha

I took a before picture today...would help if I knew exactly what week/day to consider myself....

 

[BubsMom17]

Ashlee I totally see you with a girl.

But I am terrible at guessing... I am wrong 98% of the time. You would think I would at least hit 50/50, but nope...

 

[morganwhite7]

Haha Emily I got the free one from Seven Slings last year.. It's green/white patterned super cute and lightweight! Can't wait to try em both out

And oh my he's coming SOON!

Ashlee- Thinking of you, hope to hear back asap!! Are you getting instant results from the doc? FX'd even though I know you are gonna be one happy momma in an hour or so

I kinda want a little girl first, but sometimes I think I want a boy lol. But, from experience, my past boyfriends that had older sisters were really good about respecting girls and I think having older sisters was a part of it.

Haha too funny! I guess it's an on-going promotion, right? I got the black and white one since I bought it before we knew what the gender was.

It's only 11:17 here so I have 3 hours and 43 mins until my appointment My doctors office usually takes forever to give the results though probably won't get them until tomorrow

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Ashlee- Good Luck at your appointment!!

for me the Mayan thing would be a GIRL! My mom wants me to have a girl. My step sister has a 3 year old boy, so she wants the opposite from me!

 

[RobertRedford]

I got a friend a free sling and free nursing cover last year, too! I think its a never ending promotion. I think I actually got her a sling and two free nursing covers...all I had to pay was shipping. haha!

It seems like an ongoing promotion. I found the code at retailmenot.com...I love that site, always saving me money hehe

 

[morganwhite7]

Oooops I always forget that Ashlee

And my Mayan calc says BOY!! (20 & 2013)

 

[clynn11]

Eeek good luck with your beta ash! I know youll get great results.

I think id want a boy first but it would be nice to give my mom and dad their first granddaughter too.

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

yeah, Good luck Ash!!

 

[asmcsm]

Thanks ladies!! I will let you know as soon as I know!

Cassidy, I would love to see you with a little boy with Kevins curls would be adorable. But if you don't have a girl first then those super cute dresses would have to wait!

 

[asmcsm]

At midwife's office! Apt is supposed to be in 10mins, FX everything is great. Can't wait to hear why hcg results are. Will update you girls when I can.

 

[clynn11]

Can't wait for an update Ash!! Know you're gonna get HIGH numbers!!!

 

[Disneybaby26]

Goodluck Ash!! Thinking of you!!

So story: My girlfriend and her fiancé have been together for like 5 years. They are both Manhattan attorneys and he had moved from Austin, TX to the city to be with her about 3 years ago. They always had like the picture perfect, model relationship to all us friends...bickered but never really argued, always all lovey dovey and touchy. Got engaged last February and were set to be married in January. Welp, Sunday the asshat decides to tell her he's not going to marry her and that he needs a couple days to think about what he's doing. Fast forward to yesterday, he asks he to meet him at a DUNKIN DONUTS, where he proceeds to tell her hes leaving, he has what he needs from the apt, and that he has a train to catch and she will never hear from or see him again...WILD.

Now my poor friend is stuck in a 2,000$/mnt apt and went from having a bridal shower I a month, and a bachelorette in two months, and a husband in 3 months to having nothing except an apt she cant afford full of all the shit he left in it. It's some real life Sex and the City ish... My heart breaks for her.

Oh no, your poor friend! My heart breaks for her too. Sending good thoughts that way. What a terrible guy. Did he give her an explanation?

 

[Disneybaby26]

Nope none. She asked of he cheated, he said no. Everyone is thinking that's got to be the case though. What a coward.
