@PoodleDoodleOoo i thibke you're fine doing sleep n plays for as long as you want! It'll be easier and baby will be cute and warm. I'm team dress baby up like an adult (probably an UO) but I get it and it is really convenient. We're doing mostly comfy clothes the first month because it's easier.
@MrsVoorhees - I stared at my calendar and started nodding my head like "yes.. yes that date works for me" WTF?! hahaha, August 10th sounds like a wonderful day to be born, welcome twins!
Also, if any of you Random ladies have contractions for hours that are only a couple minutes apart and you post about it instead of just calling L&D I will rip you a new one. Certainly don't post about it then ignore the overwhelming advice to go.. just don't. K thanks.

@UnwritteN12 August 10th is my best friend's baby's birthday so in my opinion it is a great day!!! Can't wait to see pictures of your babies!!!
for those keeping track, my mom did not have a stroke, she's been released from the hospital and has been cleared to travel! Thanks for all the good vibes!
Yay @marikkita12 - that is such good news to hear!
I'm 7.5 months pregnant, and I just spent the last two hours at work IMing with my best friend about what celebrity I'd be willing to date if my perfectly good and alive husband suddenly kicked the bucket.
Apparently I'm exceedingly picky about my fantasy second-husband, because I could only think of 3 and I'm wavering on one since he's not American.
@MrsVoorhees & @AnnaS930 - I'm cracking up over here! Don't worry, I was all, "Is that date going to work for me?? Oh wait, I'll make it work for me!" @PoodleDoodleOoo - Perfectly acceptable. You need to have an good back-up just in case! @marikkita12 - So glad to hear that!!
You guys, we already bought everything in both our registries since, you know, we're pretty much a month away now. And a girlfriend just offered to throw a small shower with our group of friends (I'm guessing about 20 people or less). Is it rude that I accepted? They keep asking me what I need and, having bought everything already, I don't know what to say..

Dude, make a new registry and then return what they get you for gift cards. I don't think that's rude at all. Sweet of her offer a shower, but with it being so late, that's what I would do!
@AlwaysAuntNeverMom, definitely not rude that you accepted. Irrespective of gifts, it's always nice when other people want to celebrate your little one. And gift cards and diapers can always be used!

@AlwaysAuntNeverMom I'm team dress baby up when leaving the house, yay Gap Baby! But who the hell knows, I'm a FTM..
But ditto what @MrsVoorhees said. I've been returning ish left and right and have ~$500 in gift cards right now ready for diapers when LO decides to poke her head out (pun intended). I'm sure there are some cute items though on Amazon? that you may not have. And @AlwaysAuntNeverMom since you're team dress baby up, add some cute outfits!
@PoodleDoodleOoo Costco has some killer sales on Carter's sleep and plays! Retailers are just starting to put the winter ones out this week, so I'll be picking a few more up this weekend! Oh, and you MUST name the three celebs!!
Oops and @Unwritten12 ahhh, so so excited for you!! I'm also a little jealous since you'll have an actual date versus the unknown for some of us. Can't wait to see the announcement and I hope everything goes well!
Super exciting @UnwritteN12! I am actually shocked that we don't have more babies yet. We had so many early birds on my last BMB. Some people are already at 36 weeks too. We are going to be flooded with birth announcements so soon! I'm so excited!

Can I throw myself a pity party today? I had my OB appt today and it did not go well. My BP is higher than last week so she's putting me on BP meds... Also, she's put me off work, and I'm getting a steroid shot for baby's lungs tomorrow and Thursday (2 shots?) so that if they have to deliver early, he's good to go. This means going all the way to work to drop off the kids at daycare, and coming back home all by myself. My husband has a work truck, so he can't even do the dropping and picking. Also, I have to cancel my mini vacay that I had planned for August 12-15... So bummer day... AND THEN my husband gets hit coming out of our driveway with my van.
Wife to A; Mama to C (2009), N (2011), H (2014) & baby F due 09/16/16
@Themaritimemama - I'm so sorry it wasn't a good appointment. Here's hoping the shots are only a precaution and your BP normalizes with the meds. Also hoping your DH is ok! What a day!
@frogdog06 it was Zac Efron, Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth. Chris Pratt almost made the list but failed to meet the age cuttoff (basically, you must have been born in the '80s)

Yeeessssssss
No, register for nicer stuff and return what you bought!
@Themaritimemama I'm so sorry that you had such a rough appt. I hope everything stabilized with what the Drs are doing and that it turns out to be nothing.
Thanks for the suggestions, ladies! I'll make a registry and put on more stuff! We really only had about 33 things between both registries since we're a bare essentials type of home but I'll put on all the cool extras and nicer things. I'm guessing most people will give us clothes though.
@UnwritteN12 How exciting! Can't wait to "meet" your little ones! I hope everything goes smoothly for you!
I have to admit I'm a little freaked out, though, because you're (officially) due the same day as me! I can't believe my two will be coming soon, too! Eek!
So the AC went out at work AGAIN. You know it is time to go home when you flip a client off (over the phone). He was being so unreasonable and sweat was literally dripping down my back while holed up in the oven that was our conference room. My feet swelled up too. I hate to make a fuss but I am seriously considering arguing for a work from home day tomorrow that doesn't pull from my yearly allotment (we are only allowed 15 a year and I am saving my remaining days to use if I go past my due date).
By the way, I forget who posted it but I totally did research and Germany DOES let you start maternity leave at 34 weeks! I am soooo jealous of other countries and their treatment of families. I am over my busy, hot work days!!!
Married: 3/21/15 First time mom to a human but have been a puppy mamma for over 12 years
@AlwaysAuntNeverMom definitely not rude and I second to just register for more stuff, even if you're just going to return it! My mother just told me she wants to throw us a very small one back at home a few weeks before I'm due.. Travel aside, I figure we can at least get some more diapers or something!!
Ahhhh super productive day at work and now being super productive here at home because tomorrow is moving day!! Can't wait to get this move over with and settled into the new place!
@Themaritimemama that sounds like the worst day ever. So many sad things. I'm sorry! Tuesdays are my husbands late day and he doesn't get home until 715. My kids were crying terrors from 515-715. It was seriously out of a movie. Everytime I picked one up the other started crying or pouring or dumping things out, Ripping pages out of books, smacking each other, dragging the cat... I am dying. Dying....

@UnwritteN12 you know we'll be bump-stalking you on the 10th looking for updates. How very exciting to know you're meeting your babies in a week!
