@elsieisamoocow I accidentally bought this FTG. I don't know what happened, it just fell into my cart and my PayPal was entered and then somehow I got a confirmation email. So weird!
@calimom2524 I've totally had the blue version of that print in the ring sling in my cart on Tula's website for like 2 months now. Might just have to set my credit card on my laptop and see what happens
ETA: Whoops! I did that, and then my credit card happened to see that the ring slings were on sale for $79 and two of them hopped into my order confirmation. How the heck did that happen?

@kburg15 I would probably unseal the envelope, read it, and reseal the envelope.
I was back in Erie today, so I finally got my registry bag from Target. It had awesome stuff - an Avent bottle, two pacis, lots of diapers & wipes samples, and lots of other samples & coupons. It was definitely better than my Amazon welcome box, but my Amazon box sucked compared to most of yours.
I looked at the Moby diaper bag at Target today, but I feel like the material will be covered with lint/fuzz/dog hair constantly. I looked at an Eddie Bauer one there too. I definitely like it better, but I wish it didn’t have the wipes dispenser on the side. I’ll probably just use my big Thirty-One purse and organize it well.
In other news, I bought an Ergo with infant insert from a friend for $30, and Fuzzibunz X-Small pocket diapers were delivered today for $4.50/diaper. Now I just have to drag the baby clothes out of storage when we get our laundry room put back together. I’m pretty proud of myself for getting everything either on clearance or secondhand for cheap.
Hi gals! I’ve been MIA because I have a friend visiting with her kids. We’ve been busy keeping the kids out of our hair and catching up. Hope everyone has a good week so far!
@calimom2524 I love that diaper bag!! I'm on the hunt for a good backpack this time around. I thought my cross body messenger SkipHop was the way to go last time and although it served it's purpose, I think the backpack will just be easier to tote around. I have a few on my Amazon registry, but I love that this one can be worn either way. May just have to copy you
@kburg15 we have the envelope too, sitting on our kitchen counter. Dh wanted to wait until our families were over for Easter before opening. I've had it there for exactly a week and am dying day by day.
Y'all are way stronger than me. Natera posted my results at like 6 AM and I shook my husband until he woke up so we could open them. We considered doing a gender reveal but I did not have the patience.

I bought an outfit finally for the kid. I have a ton of hand-me-downs, so I don't need much, but we're at Disney World, and they had some really cute Winnie The Pooh items I picked up for the nursery, along with some Winnie The Pooh pajamas. I got 9 month size so hopefully he'll be able to wear them a little longer. I already have a ton of newborn and 0-3 from my cousin.

You guys are killing me with thevtulas!!! A girl I know just posted the prettiest wc ftg on the local bw swap and I’m sooooo tempted but it is sooooooo our of my budget lol.
Hi hi and hi! Work got crazy so I’m just now catching up. I need a Tula in my life and I seriously can’t wait to see everyone’s Little’s in the tiny clothes! And stalking the appointments thread, so happy to see good updates! Love-it’s to all
@calimom2524 I saw the $20 off coupon and I had an $11 Amazon credit so I couldn’t pass it up.... yay!! I also feel like it’s neutral enough colors DH won’t mind sporting it
@F47 It's great, but my feet are killing me! I just don't have the endurance that I had a few months ago. Weather is good, and although it is crowded because of spring break, it really hasn't been too bad. Make sure to use your fast passes for any popular rides in the middle of the day, or you'll be waiting in a 2 hour line! Pandora: Flight is amazing, Na'vi River Journey is... not worth the wait.

Today is looking like another busy day so I'm getting all my bumping in first thing this morning lol! DH has a second interview today so if anyone feels like throwing some good vibes our way it would be greatly appreciated! Plus I think I might lose my mind if it doesn't stop raining soon. My phone has been binging every morning with flood alerts. STAHP!
Wow, with the $20 off coupon that bag is a great steal. I have to admit I love my BFF though. I don't know the exact dimensions but it looks a little smaller than that bag, which I think I like. My first bag was so big it was a huge PITA. I finally bought a BFF at 14 months and wish I had it so much earlier.
I just found out my sons dayschool has spring break next week. I'm sssoooooo bummed out!!! We'll have to go to the gym every day to get out of the house.
And I have NO idea how some of you have so much willpower to not look at the sex results!!!! I paid for Sneak Peak with my first because the suspense was killing me!!!! Hahaha!!!
@mrsbubbles-2 Sooooo many good vibes headed your way!!!
AFM I got a call yesterday that my A/S was perfect except that they need me to come back for another scan because they did not get a good enough view of some parts. Which I know is common and normal and if there were a problem they would have to tell me (at least they did at DS's A/S) but of course it still made me nervous. I am looking forward to seeing baby again though!!
My normal midwife office just does the quad screen, but they referred me to a genetic counselor who is in a different OB office. While I was there, they did a full anatomy scan and offered the Panorama NIPT test, so I accepted knowing it was a step beyond quad (and my normal office is notoriously bad at giving follow up info).
Anyway, I have Aetna insurance and I got an email from the Panorama company that Aetna usually doesn’t cover this and would I like to pay a discounted cash rate ($350) before they bill insurance? We’ve already hit our deductible and are close to hitting our out of pocket max, but I’m not sure what to do.
Will the other OB office offer
another NIPT test besides Panorama? I have Aetna too, and my OB offered me Panorama
first until they saw my insurance. Then they offered me Progenity which was
$100 outside of insurance.
I also might call Aetna and ask
them about your specific situation. I’ve had good luck with their customer service
and asking questions.

It sounds like she already had the test done... Definitely agree about calling. My husband used to have them and I think he found them to be helpful.
Has anyone tried anything from Eloise and Lolo? I keep seeing their diaper bags on Facebook and I kinda like the look of them but I am curious as to the quality.
I had a pretty healthy breakfast, then someone brought donuts to the teacher lounge so I had one. Then I had a pretty healthy lunch, but someone brought catered BBQ to the lounge - so I had coleslaw and potato salad and bread. I feel like I'm floating in a sea of carbs... This pregnancy hunger is no joke!
Wishing luck to the husbands on their interviews today!
I would suggest calling Aetna. I used to work in medical billing and honestly all it takes sometimes is getting on the phone with a good rep to help you out!
@calimom2524 I have to ghost until later this evening but I'm usually good for a chat during the day and then after bedtime. Although #EastCoastWestCoastProblems
Im here! Had a busy morning but not much going on though. Have my AS tomorrow first thing in the morning so im hoping the rest of this day flies by. So much rain here the last few weeks! All i want is some sunshine!
Update about my furniture project (needing to sand a repaint all my furniture and DH is being resistant to help). I bought him a "present" yesterday.. An orbital sander. he was actually pretty excited about it, so i hope i got him on board!
