Pregnancy Chatter & Questions - Week of 9.05

hezzer78

I had a question but saw no one had started this thread yet, sooooooo... I figured why not

This is more of a WWYD?: A friend of mine is selling her CD stash SUPER cheap on FB! I really want it, but I don't want to have to tell her I'm KU yet - especially when she didn't even know we were trying.  

Is there maybe a sneaky way I could buy these? Say they are for a 'friend'? Or does that sound too obvious lol?

I feel so silly because I thought "how would buying compact discs give away the news?". It may be a real good deal but I do think it's pretty obvious.

My first thought is people still have CD stashes?!  :-)

@hezzer78 I think you need to elaborate more on this CD stash?

@hezzer78 I don't know, it's not unheard of to buy things like that before you're knocked up. You could just say you're really interested in cloth, and since you plan on starting a family one day, you'll take them off her hands.

I have bought baby things from friends & people I work with before online, sometimes while pregnant & sometimes while not pregnant. I told one girl they were for me for the future. I told the girl I work with they were for my brother's baby (he WAS expecting at the time, but I only gave 2 of the burp cloths to him - kept the rest for myself).  I say if you really love them, buy them, and tell your friend whatever you feel comfortable telling her. Or don't say anything and keep her guessing. ;-)

I bought a baby monitor for cheap on amazon black Friday deals a year before I conceived my first. I'd say I'm really interested in these for the future and would love to take them off your hands

LOL me too. I'm a bump veteran (despite my newbie status -- couldn't locate my old account info) so I should have known better, but it's been a while for me! I really thought of compact discs first, too! haha

Yes, I also thought compact discs! I was so confused, I thought maybe they were songs that helped babies sleep. Haha, I'm already 9 months ahead to when the babies are here and won't sleep.

Thanks guys - After consulting with some friends of mine who CD (cloth diapered - HA! ) in the past, it really wasn't that great of a deal so I'm just gonna pass on it.

But in other pregnancy related news, our first appointment is thurs 9/8! I'm super excited - but kind of nervous too.  Trying to put together a list of questions to ask the doctor...

First appointment is exciting. Hopefully you get to see your little bean.

@hezzer78 ours is sept 15! Good luck!

hartmich

You guys! I'm visiting a friend who just had a baby in the hospital where I plan to deliver. I just wanna run through the halls screaming, "I'm having a baby here too!!"

But I won't. Promise. 

hezzer78

@hartmich That would be tempting!!

My first appt yesterday went pretty well - didn't see anything on us. They think it's just too early. (i'm 6 weeks based on LMP but 5 weeks based on o-date.) Took my hcg and it was 1352 - doc wants me back in on Monday to take it again and make sure it's going up.

hartmich

@hezzer78 that seems like a great starting number, FX its higher on Monday! At least while you wait for that next appointment, it's the weekend and everyone knows time goes by faster on the weekends!

hezzer78

@hartmich Thanks! I'm kind of nervous about it, but I read somewhere on the interwebz that you can't really see anything on US until the levels are 2000+ ... Idk if that's true or not, but it's giving me some reassurance
