TTC and Beyond!

[wavescrash]

AND OMG WAVES so excited, I thought of you while I was getting ready for work this morning- must be so anxious! No matter what happens, it will be another new amazing adventure. I can't wait to hear. And I'm SURE you will think of a cute reveal, even in the rain. Maybe you could get some blue/pink umbrellas for the girls? You'll figure it out. And prob be so elated that you forget Good luck! And how many hours do I have to wait?!!

Aww thanks There's nowhere to get pink or blue umbrellas that I can think of without spending a ridiculous amount. We don't have them at Target, I can tell you that lol. I'm just hoping for a break in the rain. So far so good. We're leaving in an hour and 35 minutes and the scan is at 1pm EST so that's 2 hours and 20 minutes.

I'm just a little worried they won't get to see the goods and I'll have to go back for a repeat scan. That's what happened in my first pregnancy. I had to go back a week later because baby wouldn't cooperate. Hannah cooperated just fine though so I'm hoping that's the case. In fact... Hannah moved TOO much they had to make me lay on my side to calm her down. Someone said they're going back for a repeat scan because baby wouldn't cooperate and the first time they drank orange juice hoping to get baby moving about and it didn't work. So I'm hoping some soda will do the trick.

I'm excited to hear all about it waves!!!

Thanks ladies! It's definitely turning from my small pudge at the bottom to a fuller round belly...Makes me scared for how big it will be in a few months! lol

Britt-Can you tell your boss you have an important medical call? Mine didn't take 30 minutes. They basically just ask medical stuff, I was able to answer everything.

Waves-What is your reveal plan? I'm so excited for you to find out!!! We have our 3D scan at 17 weeks and I'm worried they won't be right. So, I'm not believing it until my 20 week scan lol

I am a belly sleeper too. I incorporated a body pillow a few weeks ago. Allows me to kind of lay on my belly, but keeps me from completely laying on it. My arms go numb a lot. I also have pain in my hips/shoulders if I sleep on the same side for too long. I switch between right and left all night.

Julie- I'm loving the pic!! Yay for a twinny bump!!

Morgan- my dreams are WILD. I kinda like it though lol. I've always had really vivid dreams but these are exceeding my expectations! Haha

My sinuses have been so bad the last couple of days! My teeth feel like glass the pressure is so bad! It's supposed to get back up to 70 today here, so I'm looking forward to a nice long walk!

Mine have been horrible the last 3 days causing a nasty headache this morning (partially due to a lack of sleep thanks to Hannah) so I took some Sudafed (the kind you get from behind the pharmacy) per my OB's okay and it got rid of the pain/headache/congestion/pressure so quickly!

 

[wavescrash]

Thanks ladies I'm glad to have friends/e-friends excited seeing as my family seems very uninterested lol.

As for the reveal, it's going to be a series of pictures. I'm going to use a chalkboard easel and attach some pink and blue balloons to it. I'll also attach a copy of one of the scan pictures to the corner of the easel. The first picture we'll write something like "Baby #3, due 03/12/14", the second picture will say "It's a..." and the third picture will say boy or girl and with that picture, we'll take away whatever color balloon doesn't apply. And then the final picture will be with my girls holding the correct color balloons and the chalkboard will say "We're going to have a baby brother/sister."

Leaving in 20 minutes, scan in 65 minutes! SO NERVOUS.

Yay Amanda!! So exciting!!

Julie - I'd rather not tell my boss. I don't want her to know at all until after my review in December. She'd probably figure it out if I told her about the phone call. I don't want it to affect my possible raise. Here's the thing. I can take personal calls, we all do. But if someone comes up to my desk and needs something, I have to be able to get off the phone. If my boss needs something and can tell it's a personal call, it doesn't go over well. So all in all it's pretty tricky. My boss is off on 10/29. I might ask them if they can call then. More importantly.. why isn't there a FORM to fill out with this information? or even better, why can't they just ask me this stuff at my appointment? I am clearly upset about having to do this at work, but they offer no work around.

Waves-Exciting!!!!!

Britt-Can they call before or after work one day? I know my doc office stays open later one day a week.

Morgan-I haven't really had too many dreams. I had the one before the first u/s where I could already see little hands and feet poking out on my belly.
The last one I had was a week or so ago. I dreamt that I had one twin. We were so excited and telling everyone. The next day all the electricity was off and I was really worried about having to go back to work. All of a sudden I realized I never had the second twin. Then I realized I hadn't fed the baby I'd already had. I went to get it and it was really cold. It looked like an alien. I started giving it cpr and thinking "should I call 911? They'll think I'm a bad parent, but they'll know what to do if the baby doesn't make it." All of a sudden the baby yelled at me "I said stop it!" Creepy...

Julie - I asked about after work. They close at 5. I get off at 5:30, but the morning may be possible. I will have to talk to someone and ask if they can do that. Didn't even think of this morning.

 

[Disneybaby26]

Bahahahahahaha OMG Julie!!!

I had a dream last night I had my second baby, it was TINY. I mean, like a little gummy bear. Someone dropped it, and when I rushed to pick it up, its stomach lit up and the eyes had X's over them b/c it had died....kind of looked like a video game or tomagatchi (anyone remember those??). UGH. I hate my dreams, they are never, never good ones!!

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Yikes Molly. That's a horrible dream!

 

[TTCaWee1]

I keep having dreams DH is cheating on me. Last night I dreamt that someone was trying to kill me and I was hiding in an apartment with a gun. As soon as DHs friend left (who is also a cop) they rushed in to kill me. Then I woke up to my cat puking next to my bed.
