@MsBeachNJ I'm due June 25th but my mom and MIL planned my shower for April 9th because that's the day that worked best for everyone. I think May is a good time!
@Love4Labs326 I'm so glad telling your family went well!! I was wondering how it went!
How far along are you? 17+2
Rant/Rave/Symptoms? I'm at a pediatric office for clinical and I LOVE it! Also my mom brought me homemade chili, mac and cheese, and a bunch of packs of m&m's!! My day couldn't get any better! Not much going on as far as symptoms. Anxiously awaiting consistent baby movements!
What are you doing to prepare for baby? Eating food. Slowly adding things to the registry. Hoping to get one semi-warm day to go to BRU and try out car seats in the car!
Questions? None
GTKY: With Valentine's Day coming up soon, are you a fan or think it's just a Hallmark holiday? We don't really do much for it. Our dating anniversary was Feb 28th so we always did that instead. Last year was our first Valentine's day as a married couple and DH had to be out of town for their annual work thing. Same this year, his flight lands after 10pm on Valentine's day so I will probably be asleep by the time he gets home. I do use it as an excuse to get chocolate covered strawberries though!
Rant/Rave/Symptoms? Rant: the nightly heartburn has begun Rave: DH voluntarily went out for a late-night Zantac run a couple of evenings ago. Good man.
What are you doing to prepare for baby? Nothing right now. I don't feel rushed to get the nursery ready. But I have been identifying and removing unnecessary items from our home (many of which are/were being stored in what will be the baby's room).
Questions? I'm going to ask my doctor, but interested to hear what you guys think: if I'm most comfortable sleeping on my back, is that okay, or do I really need to retrain myself to sleeping on my side? I've heard it said (maybe on here) that I would be feeling uncomfortable or dizzy on my back if it were really putting too much pressure on the vena cava.
GTKY: With Valentine's Day coming up soon, are you a fan or think it's just a Hallmark holiday? It's a great excuse to go out to dinner, something we rarely do anymore with DH's post-doc salary and my non-existant SAHM one. Indian food sounds SO good right now...maybe that's what we will plan on having! We'll do something fun for DD--a sweet treat and a little gift.
@parsonsperson- I'm definitely a more laid back person, so I say if you're feeling best that way, you'll be fine. I honesty don't even think my belly (at 20+5) is heavy enough to do anything yet, and I still sleep on my back. I think we're built with a lot of fail safes (spelling looks way weird on that) in our body to alert us if something were truly wrong, so if you're still feeling fine, I'm guessing you're okay
Rant/Rave/Symptoms? I'm currently in my happy place watching the bachelor, I really just want to knock Olivia out though. And my A/S is Wednesday and I took the entire day off for it.
What are you doing to prepare for baby? I'm planning on going shopping after my scan on Wednesday and hopefully buy the double stroller and car seat.
Questions?
GTKY: With Valentine's Day coming up soon, are you a fan or think it's just a Hallmark holiday? My husband is such a flower buyer ( not complaining) but I legit get flowers delivered for birthday, anniversary, Mother's Day, Valentine's day and even DD b-day so I usually get him a gift card to the tool store he likes.
GTKY: I've always thought of Valentine's Day as stupid, so DH and I celebrate the day after and we call it something else. Traditionally he gets me shoes and I get him something random. I really dig our holiday. I also always use it as a time to send cards to family letting them know they're awesome.
Rant/Rave/Symptoms? My fiance is always out running around with friends while I'm stuck at home all day with DD, & doesn't understand why I'm upset; Baby is kicking & moving like crazy, all the time!; Headaches, dizziness, & fatigue.
What are you doing to prepare for baby? Nothing yet, we find out the gender on the 28th, so I'll probably start shopping afterwards.
Questions? Baby boy names that would go good with the middle name Robin? (Robin is my fiances fathers name, so it's non negotiable as much as I dislike it, lol)
GTKY I usually just buy my DD some candy & a new stuffed animal, but I don't make a big deal about it, my daughters birthday is two days after
