After reading this I feel so lucky we knew our tech! She's the wife of one of my husband's friends so we talked the whole time and she narrated everything she was seeing. Sorry for everyone who has to wait for a call from the doctor ... that's so rough
@Brambles23 I was so excited to hear the rain this morning! Haha. Growing up in the NW I grew to hate the rain and now I'm doing the California rain dance.
@jessafishy I agree you should call for peace of mind. I'm about to do the same thing I think. I also had a very quiet tech, got some confusing ultrasound pictures regarding the sex, and while I had an OB appointment right after, she didn't have the report or pics yet. My next appt isn't until July 5th. I keep thinking something will be added to my online heath chart but nothing yet. So, I'm going to call as well because I just can't run with the "no news is good news" thought.
@purplestarz yep, that's my next appointment too. I called and told the receptionist what I wanted from them and she said she would leave a note for the nurses. I'll probably call again Monday if I haven't heard back.

@jessafishy Is there not a nurses line you could call and speak with a nurse directly? Not saying the receptionist wouldn't pass along the note, but at least the nurse might be able to talk to the doc directly and also be able to answer any questions you might have. I hope you get an answer soon!
@curlyq423 I'm sure there is but I called right before their noon lunch hour started so I'm sure there were no nurses actually there.

Nurse just called me back and said everything was normal on the A/S. I am so relieved.

Thanks everyone. I never realize how tense I am about stuff like this until it's over. It's like a weight is gone now.
I maaaaay need to reevaluate my anxiety meds after this baby comes.

There is a GIGANTIC mutant cockroach just chilling on the wall high up, almost at the ceiling (which is super high) by our kitchen table. He's been there a couple hours now. I texted DH that we might need to burn the house down and/or move, and DH told me to get a broom, knock it down and kill it.
HAhaHA. Why do you think I married you? Not so I could go kill cockroaches.
@bluejeanbabi05 when i cant wait for H to show up cause im scared the thing will move, and i wont be able to know where it went... Instead of being scared of sleeping in my own bed i usualy just grab the vacuum cleaner and get rid of it. Gotta admit tho ive done that only for spiders and bees. Cant garantee i would do it with cockroaches lol
I now have tabs for our auto loan, my insurance deductible, things we need to buy for the baby, our utilities, and several different spreadsheets on what our financial outlook is for my maternity leave through the end of next year.

@yasandson lol I have no idea how you manage to catch bees with a vacuum cleaner but I'm dying at my mental image of it
Probably as funny as you imagined it! @jessafishy i admire your organization skillz. I never had any interest in spreadsheets.... in any type of organization come to think of it lol
@jessafishy my proudest spreadsheet moment was for my wedding. My guestlist was locked down tight to automatically compute not just number of guests but categorise for adults, children, who was grouped to get together for one invite etc etc... basically it was Excelgasm worthy. Oh did i mention it was all colour coded too?

This is so me! My friends are planning their wedding now and as an "engagement present" I sent them my spreadsheets. The other day they said something like "I don't know why you thought wedding planning was so hard, we just used your spreadsheets and it was really straightforward."
@bluejeanbabi05 I am the bug-slayer in our family. DH isn't afraid of them, but he is clueless about what to do with them. I love the thrill of the hunt!
Blah. I "wasted" all of DDs nap time watching teen mom, eating Nutella on apple slices, and catching up on the bump. I was suppose to do laundry and give the dog a bath. How easy 2 hours are wasted.
All the heart eyes for my fellow spreadsheet-obsessed folks. My budget spreadsheets are insane. I even have one to keep track of grocery and household items prices at different stores so I know when the sales are good deals and to stock up
I don't use a budget spreadsheet because I use YNAB. It's awesome and I'm still obsessive about it.

Hey also, what do stms think of a babymoon at 7 months? 3 hour drive, just hanging out at a resort with a pool all day. Will I be too uncomfortable or is that a good timeframe to do it?
@beezeemarie Yes I totally love it. It makes it so much easier to see where we are spending. You can do a free trial to see if you like it!

I downloaded YNAB once but I don't think I even opened it before my trial expired I should probably try it again since I'm now in full on saving mode for when baby is born and for a new house
I am going to start the free trial for YNAB. We have a good chunk of debt right now (mostly medical) and just thinking about how behind we are on our goals is stressing me out. Ughhh
