I wasn’t sure where this should go but wanted to tell someone and everyone I got my NIPT results back and I’m having a healthy baby BOY! I just laughed when I saw the results because after I had my first boy I knew we’d have another too one day 😃. Maybe we’ll have exclusively female pets.
@surlyjaneausten congratulations!!!! Also, I was saying Surely Jane Austen in my head until I tagged you to respond and was like oh it's Surly not Surely, I like it even more now 😆
UGH. Y’all. I’m having an ‘ICK’ kinda day. The weather is absolutely gorgeous here and that makes me want to go out and BE OUT and instead were trapped inside. I just want to be able to go to the farmers markets like regular where I can browse and pick what looks good. I want to have brunch on the patio of a restaurant and people watch. Im so tired of going to the grocery store and shelves STILL being bare in some spots. I have been so even keel so far but today is getting me and trying to drag me down. I’m feeling so needy, whiny, and on edge — FOR WHAT?! I’m going to drag hubby on a walk later I think but I’m not off work for another 2 hours. I just need to pull it together.
Sorry for the rant. Are there any tricks you all use to pull yourself out of an emotional slump like this?
@potofgolden GIRL. I would usually have had a frozen sangria in my hand sitting on the back porch by now. Lol. Maybe I just need to do that with a frozen lemonade or something more ‘tame’ instead. 😂😂
After yesterday I really wanted to schedule an elective ultrasound to see baby girl again. We went to this amazingggg place with my first pregnancy and I just called and they are open amidst the virus. ANDDDD guess what?!?! My husband can come with me! I literally almost just cried on the phone. I am SO freaking happy and I just keep telling myself that everything is going to be OKAY.
Thanks ladies!! And if anyone needs a good rec for mediation, I downloaded the Expectful Meditation App. It matches your mediations to the week of your pregnancy. It was really nice to lay down on my side and just listen to waves crashing and feel super connected to the baby.
@jaclyn0405 yay!!! I am also going to an elective ultrasound place, on Tuesday! I wanted hubby to be able to see this little bean, he is feeling so left out of everything and is super bummed. They told me they should be able to see gender too, so I’m super excited! I’ve never found out before 20 weeks so I kind of feel like I’m cheating, lol!
You guys, my poor kitty cat!! He had vaccines and was neutered on Tuesday and he is having some kind of reaction. I just got him home from the emergency vet, he told me to just keep him home and give him Benadryl and if he isn’t better to bring him back tomorrow. They can’t give him a steroid because it would interact with one of the medications he had on Tuesday. I feel so bad for him! Pic in spoilers, what he normally looks like and his poor little face now.
Guys I am full of freakin' randoms today. Another fun one, I downloaded an app called Tiny Beat at the beginning of the pregnancy. It said it isn't really supposed to work before 16 weeks. You literally just hold the speaker/microphone up to your belly and tilt to the side. Well I tried it today and I immediately found the HB. Freaking crazy what kind of technology we have going on today!
I just found this thread! I just wanted to say hi. It’s been an incredibly stressful last couple days filled with “I just want to cry” moments usually really for no reason.
Sometimes I wonder if being pregnant now is really such a blessing. I swear I would be day drinking by 10 am otherwise. Kids, work, not walking (leg problems), emotions.
Anyhow our stay at home order got extended to June 30th. I just wanted to say hi. And tomatoes...right now...I think I’d prefer pickles.
@name1109 ughhh June 30th?! Do you have a lot of cases?! Ours is lifted today at 5pm. Not that everything is open(still no restaurants), but it is nice to know it is lifted. I am sending you good vibes mama!
@jaclyn0405 we’ve been having 0-2 new cases per day! We had two days this last week with no cases! The malls opened so did more outdoor activities! But the stay at home order was extended! It’s very confusing. I suspect it has to do with tourists maybe? It’s all so frustrating.
@name1109 hmm I wonder if it is the tourists! Because you have way less cases there! Fingers crossed this is the last extension and it is fully lifted on the 30th!
@name1109 If you don't mind me asking, where are you located? I'm sure you've said it at some point, but I've forgotten. I checked the spreadsheet too and couldn't find you. Here, we are still hanging out in phase 1 of reopening. I'm definitely sick of all this too...but I can see why it's necessary.
My random - I was SO busy this weekend but a good busy. We moved to OUR FIRST HOUSE, so it's been lots of moving, loading, unloading, organizing, etc. It feels so good to call this place our home. I cannot wait to nest and set up the nursery!

I'm back from an online shopping spree. One of our local stores (Thyme Maternity) had everything at 50% off... I only got a few basics: 2 bras, 5 underwear, 1 jean, 1 legging, 1 blouse, 3 t shirts, 1 tank top, 1 cardigan, 1 dress, 1 short, 1 blouse, 1 belly band. I love sales!
So blown right now. I feel like a giant whale and all I want to do is return to the sea (aka take a bath), but my hot water is not HOT — it’s like barely above body temp. 😓
Also blown because I feel so huge and I’m only 13 weeks and hardly “ate” anything at all today. Does the large feeling get better or just keep getting larger?!
@lovelee3 I shouldn’t complain? We’re in Hawaii. Things opened some this last weekend so that REALLY helped. ... I couldn’t remember how the spreadsheet got populated...😳😂. I’ll do that! CONGRATS on your new home. I can’t wait to call a place home. We move every 1-3 years. We’ve met some awesome people, seen some awesome things...I can’t wait to have roots.
@mimser thanks for sharing!! I don’t know why I’ve been so anti Motherhood brand 😳.
@m@mama-buckets I swear I’m the biggest I’ve ever been this far along (probably also true). I’m struggling with being okay with it...I’m excited to see baby grow. But seriously so is everything else. I am hoping when I feel baby I won’t be so upset about feeling big.

@mama-buckets I have been feeling huge also lately! Only 13.5 weeks. Ugh. I keep telling hubby I feel huge and he says nothing so I told him he sucks at this and when you’re pregnant wife tells you she feels she looks huge you are supposed to reassure her she doesn’t even if she does! Lmao. He things I’m insane. I’m plus size anyways so I this in between stage always just feels shitty like people probably just think I gained a bunch of weight. Looking forward to actually looking pregnant.
So, things are opening up here in Florida (except Miami area - our epicenter) and I decided to start letting DD go back to preschool (well now it’s basically preschool aged summer daycare but whatever) so she can have some socializing time and try to ease back into normalcy before she starts Kindergarten this fall. She’s only going 2-3 days a week and not even full days (like today she has requested I pick her up after lunch) but I Very pathetically miss my baby like crazy after dropping her off. I don’t know if I’m just crazy or if pregnancy hormones are playing a role here but I miss her so much. Don’t know how the hell Im gonna be when/if we ever start going back into the office for work!
@krystrist2014 I have to go back into the office on June 1 and I am not looking forward to it at all. I know I am going to miss DS so much. I cried for the pretty much the first month after maternity leave and I think it will be some much worse this time around. I am sure I am going to be a mess!
We decide to keep our original vacation plans that we made in January and go the beach next week. We rented a private beach house with a private pool and private beach access. We scheduled all of our food that we can not bring with us to be delivered down there. Our BFs are also going with their 2 girls since we all have been staying at home and our husbands work closely together everyday anyway. I feel like we can do this safely with no reason to even leave the house/beach once we get there. I am excited to get away since I have to go back to work on the 1st.
My app updated and now none of the threads are showing me where I left off. It's making it incredibly hard to participate. Is anyone else having this issue?
Edit: nevermind. As soon as I posted this comment they came back 🙄
