I don't want to get out of bed! It's difficult enough any other morning, but today I have to go in early to get my work done so I can go to the funeral of our former CEO. I loved this guy and there were a few times that he was the only reason I didn't walk out on my job. Can I just pretend it didn't happen?

Maple403

I'm up too. Trying to get an early start to make up hours.

We have an office bbq today- should be a nice break. Also, I'm praying someone brings some Mac and cheese

@HailsMom‌ I'm sorry for your loss and I am not rushing to get out of bed right now either.

DH didn't get home until late and he wanted starbucks. So at like 730 last night I had a Venti Soy Chai. I finally passed out at 2 am and woke up because I was starving at 530. What is happening????

AW moment: On a happier topic our sex reveal pictures went over wonderfully Everyone loved her name and has been amazingly supportive. This little girl is already surrounded with so much love.

Good morning ladies. So I just woke up with some spotting for the first time. I'm avoiding Dr. Google and plan to reevaluate at 9 when my OB office is up and moving on whether I should call. I know some spotting throughout pregnancy is normal... It just hasn't been a thing for me at all so I'm...silently worried. The position of said spawn was lower than ever last night but they've wiggled back up higher. I felt baby last night and a little right now so I'm taking comfort in that... It really was just a tiny bit. :-S if anyone has insight, let me know. FTM and totally clueless.

Morning all! I am battling the bed war as well. H had to work early so that means lights on and all at 5 am here(Wisconsin). I'm not prepared for morning and don't want to go to work. Does anyone have any spare energy or motivation I can borrow?

I'm going out to dinner tonight with my best friends which should be a blast. I hope I don't fall asleep at the table.

MapleMomma

@erobbins09‌ sorry! I know how that can be terrifying. My spotting was early on, but I also called the doc. They did an early u/s just to be sure.

I'm just headed into work. How many more months?

PeaceofKia

I'm up, have to get daughter go before care to catch her bus. I'm coming
right back home passing back out... Then later today, a me day!

aggiebug

Good morning. Happy a/s day! I know there are several today including ours at 9:30 est. Hoping for all healthy babies. I tossed and turned a lot last night thank goodness it's my day off so I can nap.

Hailsmom I am sorry

katiekeller

@erobbins09‌ I spotted early on after sex & my dr. said if it's brown blood it means it's old and there's nothing to worry about. I also read on TB that the cervix stretching etc can cause light spotting.
Hope all is okay!!!! T & Ps sent your way

mommaa1615

I get to check on baby soon for my 20w appointment then again tomorrow for the a/s..happy happy!

WanderingA

@eronbins09 I know it's scary but try not to worry about it. Spotting can be from any number of things. Take it easy and call your doctor once they're open just to confirm.

I'm still in bed. I've heard the peanut wake up a few times but she keeps going back to sleep so I'm not moving until I have to! I woke up at 2am with a horrible leg cramp. It woke me out of a dead sleep and I had to get up and take Tylenol to get back to bed. I'm hoping to avoid the Charlie horses I got when pregnant with DD!!

HailsMom

@erobbins09 There are plenty of things that can cause spotting. Like @katiekeller stated, brown blood is usually old blood and you shouldn't worry about it to much. Over doing it, sex, and internal exams can all cause spotting.  Sometimes it's just spotting.  Thinking of you!

To everyone with A/Ss today: Good Luck!

@miniwheat10 even if we had wanted to be team green with this pregnancy, after our A/S there is no way we would have been able to. Reid was flashing his junk all over the place! Maybe you will get a little show off too!

PeaceofKia

I want Waffle House for breakfast but am waiting for the school and work traffic to slow down. But I'm starving!

edunsmoor

I'm WFH and have been working since 7 However, we get to leave in a few minutes for our A/S. That's really the only exciting thing today. I'm almost finished with my work for today - I really need more responsibility, or a new job. My boss is back today so I'm sure I'll ask for more this week.

Rain again for another day- this makes 4 straight, but they're promising we'll be out of rainy season by Sunday.

Halloween decorations:  [If you celebrate] When is the appropriate time to put up exterior decorations?  October 1st?   First weekend in October (3-5 this year) ?  Sooner, later?  DH and I have been debating this topic for a while. 

MaddScientist

chalk me up to the tired today group. Went to bed at a respectable time, but H woke me up sometime in the middle of the night for sex (afterwards he said 'oh I thought I was sleeping - and promptly fell back to sleep) and then I got up 2 times to pee. Also, it is finally starting to get uncomfortable for me to sleep on my stomach, so after peeing I didn't go back to sleep that easily. So, not a good night sleep here. 

I keep telling myself I get to 'sleep in' Thurs. and Fri. 

kefttsc

@HailsMom I'm sorry about your former boss.  My former boss was like a close friend and father figure to me, and if he was to pass away I would be absolutely devastated.  I hope you can spend the day remembering all the wonderful things about him!

@AshleySparkle720 your pictures are adorable!!

@erobbins09 just do what you are doing.  Take it easy until they open, give them a call, and relax.  (Easy for me to say, right!)  Drink lots of water and kick your feet up.  I'm sure all is just fine.  

@PeaceofKia didn't I tell you to go lie down??!!!!!  

Good luck to all of you with A/S today!!!

I'm having cramps on my right side today.  It's more like a cramp you'd get from running, not so much like a uterus cramp.  It's been happening since I woke up this morning.  I tossed and turned ALLLLLLL night and I'm thinking maybe I pulled something.  I felt both babies all night, so I'm as confident as you can ever be that everything is fine, but it sure is a pain in the butt!

I am ok with people putting decorations up any time in October. General Fall decorations are ok in Septemeber, but we have neighbors that will start putting up Halloween decorations the weekend after Labor Day! That's too early IMO!

PeaceofKia

@kefttsc‌ I am! But I'm hungry, and I deserve a manicure and new shoes right?!

I'll space out the time, I promise!

W let out a rip roaring fart last night in the bathtub. I about feel over from the smell.  I thought we were going to have our first pooping in the tub incident but thankfully she waited until two minutes after she had on a diaper. 

Hahahaha! I've had a DD poop in her towel while waiting for me to put her in her diaper/PJs (dressing her sister) AND poop in the sink while waiting. Luckily no tub pooping...yet. Although, the first time the girls got a real bath in their baby bathtub, DD B pooped in it. It was hilarious: we saw a bunch of bubbles, and then, THAR SHE BLOWS!!! MIL and I still laugh about that!

I finally broke down and went maternity shopping yesterday after it took me 30 minutes to find clothes to wear to work. I've been getting by with clothes that used to make me look pregnant before I was, and some things from a friend, but the seasons are off. 

 Its so dark and dreary today. Not looking forward to fall  

AngieAn

I have my 20 week appointment and AS scan, it was just suppose be me and my oldest daughter (theyoungest came to the first) but now DH wants to come and the youngest cried at bedtime, and begged to come. So I guess it's a family affair thing now. Now I'm off to cook some eggs

HailsMom

Help me choose Hailey's big girl bedding.    Her crib/toddler bedding was sea turtles so we have the walls painted kind of an ombre (sp?)  teal. And then I also added touches of pink with her curtains and some other things, so I'm trying to be able to keep it so the paint and curtains match.

Paisley Bedding  or Hearts/Leopard Print

Heeeeeeyyyy bitches I am back!

two back to back weeks of work travel, and I have a week back at home to catch my breath before heading back out next week.

Sooooo glad to be home in my own bed for a week or so, be with my boys, etc.

But of course all the plane travel made me sick and I have a sinus and ear infection, got some meds from the doctor yesterday, not too thrilled to be on antibiotics when pregnant, but I am so sick of feeling like death.

what did I miss???

Oh and HALF BAKED (this past Saturday)!

I'm going to leave this hilariousness right here in case anyone needs a good laugh:

Yayy @bhjones1980 I was seriously starting to miss you. Welcome back, minus the sick. 

A/S at 2:30 todayyyy!! Good luck to all the ladies going today, I know there are a bunch. Woot woot.

Also, I busted out my new riding boots and tunic today so I'm feeling fiiiine.

I'm trying to persuade my husband to ditch the Metro and work from home. It's a mess on his line and he has a phone interview today. There are things more important than getting to work, babe.

Also forgot my phone and watch today. My wrist feels weird and I must be missing important texts. Right?

We missed ya, @bhjones1980!

AngieAn

@HailsMom‌ I love them both. My pick would be the heart one. I think its just a bit younger looking.

Sure is. My office is empty, too.

PeaceofKia

@kefttsc‌ a big one. Lol. I just pick what would accommodate their stuff.

HailsMom

@AngieAn - I think I'm sold on the other one. I like that it's got a lighter weight comforter - Hailey still only sleeps with a sheet, so a big bulky comforter would make me a little nervous. I also like that it has other colors we can incorporate.  Oh and it's prime eligible so I can return it easier if I get it and don't like it.   - Guess I've made my choice huh?

@WillVillJill (Did I get it right?) I have mentioned his name before - mostly on @SugahCookie01 's name post because his full name will be William Reid - after two of his great grandfather's, but we will call him Reid.

@kefttsc We had a Skip Hop Duo that I really liked. It has held up pretty well over the almost 3 years that we have used it and has lots of pockets to be able to organize everything. I think the newer version of them has a flap to go over the main pocket, which would be my only complaint about our current one - Don't like that if it tips over in the car, everything spills out.

@HailsMom‌, I'm sorry about your former boss. As far as bedding goes, I'll always choose paisley over leopard.

@erobbins09‌, that's a scary way to start the morning but it sounds like you have a great handle on things. Try not to worry too much because the vaginal walls are really sensitive right now. With DS I bled after every appointment and sex.

Welcome back @bhjones1980‌. I'm sorry that you're sick but glad to see you.

My random: I woke up feeling like LO wedged her way between my hips and pushed all night. I'm not a fan of things stretching out and yoga style stretches aren't helping. She also tried to punch her way downward/out. Upside, DH's weekend starts today and is 3 day weekends from here on out for a few months.

Haha!  I don't want it being a big deep dark pit of doom when I'm trying to find things while holding two babies and folding down a stroller all at the same time.....

I also don't want TOO many pockets so that I can't fit stuff where I want it.  

crystalw88

morning ladies! I've been gone for like a week...miss anything? SIL got married this weekend so I was crazy busy.

Good luck to everyone with A/S scans today!

mrsherr22

@PeaceofKia‌ I think a manicure and breakfast sounds perfect! But shoe shopping? Pretty sure you're supposed to be resting like @kefttsc‌ said! Be a good girl for your girls

@erobbins09‌ hope everything is okay. t&p for you.

@bhjones1980‌ glad you're back! Hope you feel better soon.

@nbad311‌ sorry for your loss.

Good Luck to everyone with A/S today!

I should've not gone to bed at 7:30 I have been up since 3:00am. Oh well I'll take a nap for all of you today since it's my day off. DH will probably finish painting the nursery while I try and sleep off my cold.

PeaceofKia

@sweets0022‌ aww man, but I can only fit 3 pairs of my shoes right now... I'm tired of wearing the same black and beige colored flats! Sigh. Maybe I'll just order those online. I want blue and red.

mrsherr22

Online shopping is the best @PeaceofKia‌

mishka29

Good luck to all those with A/S today!

DD popped in the tub once. DH was yelling for help but I found time to grab the camera to capture the moment.

Oct 1 is the start of Halloween decorations. Can't wait!
