Hallelujah, Friday is upon us!! I actually have a really busy morning then meeting a former coworker for delicious lunch and then a light afternoon!! Woooo!

I am really looking forward to a weekend with almost nothing planned.  Ive been traveling and such for the last few weeks and just to have two full days at home to get stuff done and hang with DH and DS sounds like heaven.

My sister is visiting from out of town this weekend, so that will be nice. She is super baby crazy so well get to spend some time talking about the baby! (I'm trying to not make EVERY conversation about babies to the people around me, cuz none of my friends are pregnant and I don't want them to get sick of the topic, we still have 6 months to go!) thank god for Feb 15!! It gives me my baby crazy fix.

This weekend I am turning 33, and in February we will welcome our third and final baby. Seems kind of symbolic, I think good things happen in 3's

IsabelC687

@Lrjjj08‌ I miss read your post and thought you were pregnant with triplets. My heart just skipped a beat for you! I'm slightly terrified of having multiples, as I have twin brothers and they were a handful as kids!

boxerrrmama85

Not to get into details-- but I had one of those nightmares that a pregnant woman should NEVER experience! I was crying in my sleep and my husband woke me up and I was instantly sobbing in his arms. I am so thankful for him-- but naturally I didn't fall back to sleep and am exhausted and still can't shake this stupid stupid nightmare!

I'm nervous because my NT bloodwork should be back by this morning so I can call my doc for results. I'm torn. Call today.... It's great if I get good news. But what if it's bad news and I ruin my weekend and we can't even so anything until Monday anyway really. Maybe schedule an appointment at best. Or it's good news and we ANNOUNCE today! I really am ready. Call Monday... Worry all weekend over something that's more likely to be good news anyway. But if it's bad news have a whole week ahead of me to make plans.

Call today, chances are news is good and it won't ruin you weekend waiting.

@Sugahcookie01 - I would call.  The waiting and anticipation is the worst part!  FX for you!

I finally got to go see my grandmother in her rehab hospital yesterday which was good but sad at the same time.  Her health is failing quickly and she is exhibiting signs of dementia.  The cost for her to stay in a nursing home equipped to deal with her is around $9,000 a month so my poor grandfather is trying to figure out a way to make that happen.  It looks like they will have to spend their life savings down to $10,000 so that they can qualify for Medicaid because her Medicare/BCBS benefits are running out.  On a positive note, she did remember that I was coming and was very happy to see me and Adeline and she remembered that I am pregnant and told me that I am having a boy!

Oh this is a convo I would totally have with myself in my head. If I had the option to call today, I so would do it. I'm not very patient and would need to know NOW. I completely agree with @holachicaaa‌. Hopefully you get awesome results today!!!

I've had back-to-school nightmares at least 4 times this week. I'm switching grades but I didn't think I was THAT nervous about it. Guess I was wrong.

Cookie0875

@Sugahcookie01 I would probably call today as well.  I have NO patience and the anticipation would kill me.

@WanderingA I'm so sorry your grandma isn't doing well, but glad that you found the positives in the visit!  My grandma had Alzheimer's when she passed and it was very nice when she had lucid moments.

I have a good bit to do this weekend, but am excited about most of it!  The exciting bits are a pedicure (much needed), shopping for a friend's daughter's birthday, and then attending that birthday party.  Ice cream sundae party...yummmmmmm!  My FIL is also coming to visit, I'm not sure yet if I'm excited about that or not, but I'm not dreading it.

I'm driving myself crazy!!!! PGAL brain is try to come in full gear! I try to ignore all PGAL stuff completely. I know you can't jinx yourself, but there is always that thought that tries to sneak in and being PGAL makes it so much worse.

Anyway, I need a freaking U/S. I had one at 10.4 we saw baby wiggle around and heard a strong heartbeat. Sunday I will be 13 weeks. I have an appt at the end of the month but it's hard to wait. I need to see the baby move or hear the heartbeat again for peace of mind and my sanity. My dr isn't concerned so I know I shouldn't be (but she wasn't concerned last time either and I didn't get a baby).

Then there is the home doppler route. I could easily get one and find the hb and relax, but if I don't find one (and baby is ok) I will be more of a mess than I am now.

Someone talk me off the ledge before I stalk my dr, beat and drag her into the u/s room and threaten her for an u/s. With DS, I had like 3-4 u/s in the first tri. I had a mc before him. Here I am pregnant again, with 2 losses before this baby.

Sorry, hope this isn't too much.

Today's our five-year anniversary. The first thing my husband said to me this morning? "I'm so lucky I get to wake up next to you every morning." Love him!

I think we're finally getting our act together and buying our bookshelves this weekend. Also, plotting out how I announce to my work. I hope there's time to hit the pool, too.

Calling @ChickenOnSunday... is llittle W doing better? Thinking of you

@Sugahcookie01 Call today!! 

Im so excited and I have no reason why. Dolce caused some major discomfort last night and I had a hard time getting to sleep... but somehow I woke up in a great mood. 

selly08

@srcr2011‌ Oh God! I feel you! I have been driving myself crazy since morning thinking about the baby. I don't see the baby for another 4- 5 weeks and just the thought is killing me. We saw a healthy baby at week 12 with strong heartbeat. But now today I just need some kinda confirmation that all is okay. My DH refuses to get me a Doppler because he knows what I would do to myself if I cannot get a hb. I have no idea how I have woken up with this thought of u/s. Damn the PgAL brain !! I am a nervous wreck.

selly08

@lizjennings81‌ Happy Anniversary to you guys!

selly08

@sugahcookie01‌ Good Luck! FX for you.

So happy it's Friday!!!!! Work week has been dragging. Good news is that we get to pick up our 6 week old black lab puppy tomorrow.

Ugh okay I called. Nurse is going to look up my chart and call me back.

Oy. Why am I such a wreck with stuff like this all the time?

Thinking positive thoughts for your results!

selly08

@WanderingA‌ I am so sorry you have to deal with this. I am super close to my grandma and I dunno how I would have taken it. I like the positive person in you.

gusabbey

I'm having Chipotle for lunch today.  This will be the 4th burrito bowl I've had this week. I really feel like I should be entitled to some sort of loyalty discount.  That is all  Happy Friday!

@sugahcookie01 LOL... Just take a deep breath. Try not stress over nothing (I know its easier said than done). 

Irishcurls

Oh geeeez @sugahcookie01 freaking waiting is the worstttttt, hopefully you get a call soon! Distract yourself by helping me meal plan for next week?? Hehe

Guys, super productive so far today. I'm totally earning my dollars this morning. The rest of the week is up in the air....

JessicaxLynn87

I woke up this morning and realized this is my last Friday to sleep in as I return to work next week. Talk about depressing ...

mommy510

We had some friends come over for dinner last week and I set up the pack-n-play in our bedroom so that their baby could take a nap. I was going to take it back down after they left, but it makes me happy because in 6 months, it will be our baby sleeping right there. Seriously though, it's been a week and I still haven't put it away because it makes me smile every time I look at it. I can't leave it up until Feb. That would just be weird.

At what point do I call my doctor's office back after waiting?

The nurse didn't give me a time frame on when she'd call me back, just that she WOULD. I assumed that meant she'd get my chart and do it then. But obviously she has other patients and things to do today. 

But anyway - if it were you: How long would you give waiting for the call back before calling and asking?

I'm currently at about 45 minutes. THINKING about calling at an hour....

But I don't want to be THAT patient, either.

any chance the results arent back yet?  did they say today?  it is still early morning.  Maybe she doesnt have them yet and is waiting to recieve them before calling you back.

We're announcing to our families this weekend! My parents live 3.5-4 hrs away so we don't visit often. It's the first grandchild on both sides, so it's a new thing for all of us!

jaztastic

@sugahcookie01 I usually wait a few hours before calling back. My next call wouldnt be until maybe 2pm this afternoon.

I think it's about time for @schnitz9 to get a real avatar and a siggy.  I've been thinking this for days and needed to let it out. 

YES!!! I cant help but automatically assume "newbie" when I see a generic avatar. It makes me discredit whatever the comment is before I actually read it and see the username. 

Please @schnitz9, do it for me.

OMG I feel so loved.  It's hard for me because I really can't download anything at work.  I only bump from work really. I have 2 home computers that are crap and we don't use them and bumping mobile and me just don't mix. Tried to do the whole siggy thing but again had to download shit which is a big no-no here.  Any suggestion cause I would love to join the cool parade!!!!

schnitz9

Not a newb. I've actually been lurking and around TB, TK, and TN (the nest) for about 6-7 years!!! I even tried to put my ticker in and for some reason it wouldn't work.  Ugh half the cool websites for GIFs are blocked.  I'll try to change my avatar pic though.

thegoodpotato

The U/S tech said I should have results back by Monday or Tuesday, but I haven't heard anything from my midwife, either. I figure she's waiting for my next appointment to go over the results. It makes me feel like it might be bad news because she's waiting to tell me in person.

But the logical side of me thinks no news is good news and that she would have phone if anything was wrong....

Guess I'll find on the 29th....

CrazyCornball said:

From my experience with doctors offices, they usually you call you right away if something is wrong. If they forget to call, it's because everything was fine. I take the no news is good news approach. 

This!! Sugah, you can just relax. I am sure they have not called yet because it's all okay! Wait for a while and then check on them.

schnitz9

OK so now you guys are gonna be stuck looking at my little fur-monster.  No siggy though.  For some reason my ticker codes just don't like me on this comp.  BOOOOO!!!

selly08

@sugahcookie01‌ Have a good weekend now!

schnitz9

Still trying on the tickers they will be the death of me.  My work computer sucks dirty ass!!

schnitz9

Thanks guys!!! Although i really do think you all should go fuck-your-elves.  Been saying that the past 2 days.  Best GBCB I've ever seen!!!
