Team?: Blue

Any appointments? Questions?: Clear Until..I forget when. 

Rants/Raves?:  Still hot as balls down south. Summer just doesn't want to die. So, Wake me up when September ends. Also, the lead tech is ticking me off so much, I'm about to bail on a job 4 months pregnant, taking advantage of my nonexistent bump. 

Any specific AMA concerns? Blood pressure. It's a lot lower, but I know it'll creep back up.

Age at delivery? 41

FTM/STM/TTM, etc?:  4thTM

Team?:  We find out Sept 9th

Any appointments? Questions?:  A/S is scheduled for the 9th.  Then I can't find the paperwork that has the date of my next regular appointment.  I think it's at the end of September... 

Rants/Raves?:  I can finally feel baby move on the outside!  H felt it the other day.  My girls really want to, but baby hasn't been cooperative yet.  

Also school starts in 2 days.  I am hoping that having just me and my 2.5 year old at home during the day will let me get this place into shape before baby comes!  We bought an old, large fixer upper last Oct and we have a ton to do.  

Any specific AMA concerns?  Nope

GTKY: What is your favorite inspirational quote? I am not the inspiration quote type 😏

Team?: Blue!

Any appointments? Questions?: blood pressure follow up on Sept 5th and anatomy scan Sept 17th. I'm so excited for the anatomy scan. MH is coming to that one so he'll finally get to see the baby moving around in there!

Rants/Raves?: we've been saving up and finally took advantage of labor day sales to buy some new furniture pieces that we've been wanting, a whole new living room set. We moved into our house a year ago and it's finally coming together with high quality pieces intended to last, well, forever. Goodbye cheap particle board furniture! You've served your purpose but we're ready for upgrades. So excited for it all to get here! I know I'm already 36, but having nice furniture for the first time makes me feel so grown up. 😅

Any specific AMA concerns? Currently my blood pressure.

Rants/Raves?: I fell hard at the grocery store two days ago when I slipped on a spill. I've been pretty tender since then and mentally freaked out that I might have hurt the baby.

Team?: Pink!!

Any appointments? Questions?:  AS scheduled for Sept 9

Rants/Raves?:  I took advantage of the Labor Day Sales and bought most of the furniture for the nursery.  Walls are getting painted Tuesday and then it's on!  I love decorating and am a Type A planner, so the sooner the better to get it all set up just in case things start to go south near the end. 

Any specific AMA concerns?  Not yet and hoping it stays that way

GTKY: What is your favorite inspirational quote? We are what we repeatedly do.  Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit.

Rants/Raves?: Just like @FyreFlyeRush, this damn heat is killing me. Our HS reunion was this weekend and today was our family day. It was 106°and by the time we got home I laid down and crashed so freaking hard we didn’t make it to my in-laws for our Sunday dinner plans. Thankfully my hubby went out and got stuff to make dinner because I’ve been super out of it all afternoon/evening. 

Any specific AMA concerns? Other than being called geriatric on the regs? Not really. This pregnancy is actually turning out to be my best one yet.
