Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? Nope
Rants/Raves: Rave - the garbage truck came down our alley this morning (DS loves to watch it) and the guys waved at him, it was so cute! And my rant is, that made me cry. The nice city workers who waved at DS. Get a grip lars!
QOTW: Now that we've all reached the halfway point...
On a scale of 1 to 10, how prepared are you for baby to be born?
1=Wait, this is actually going to come out of me? and 10=I'm so prepared I'm thinking of getting knocked up again before January! Maybe a 2, I'm mostly anxious about how I can possibly take care of 2 children at once. I imagine there will be lots of crying and tantrums on all sides.
How are you feeling? good besides the super strong pain I have central between my ribcage
Appointments/Updates? glucose test on Tuesday (day after my bday)
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? I got about 10+ outfits last night from my aunt at my moms bday dinner but that's pretty much it.
Rants/Raves: FTM here and I am super overwhelmed with registering to many choices and no experience.
QOTW: Now that we've all reached the halfway point...
On a scale of 1 to 10, how prepared are you for baby to be born?
1=Wait, this is actually going to come out of me? and 10=I'm so prepared I'm thinking of getting knocked up again before January! 2 probably I have nothing done
How are you feeling? I'm tired, anxious & relieved. We had our anatomy scan on Tuesday. Everything checked out perfectly with baby!!! That alone makes every thing worth it. I feel like I can finally relax and enjoy pregnancy now.
Appts: nothing new scheduled until OB check up on the 25.
Have you bought anything for baby? No, we have nothing yet and I feel so behind on my preparations. I should start shopping soon.
Rants/Raves: sometime around my 12 week mark I suggested that it would be so much fun to have a gender reveal party. The idea was we would ask the tech to keep the baby's gender a secret and place the results in the envelope until the party where we could all find out at the same time. Not at huge party, just my husband and I our parents and his son. Well we got the envelope on Tuesday morning, the party is on saturday. The anticipation is killing me!!! I know sex isn't very important to us, but I'm anxious to give the baby a name and start shopping!
How ready am I? Definitely a 1. I need to get my but in gear.
Week/Fruit: 21/Pomegranate
How are you feeling? Sore lower back and feeling heavier.
Appointments/Updates? Had our gender reveal party (see pic) over the weekend and found out we're expecting a little BOY!! Couldn't be more excited for his arrival.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? Received an Arkansas Razorback onesie & blanket from baby's aunts. I just purchased a navy blue nightstand to go in baby's nursery.
Rants/Raves: I wish people would just be happy/understanding of the name(s) you like/don't like. We briefly talked names after the gender reveal party with family and it's so annoying to have people try and push their favorite name on you. Thanks for your suggestion, but I hate that name and I'm not naming my baby a name I hate.

On a scale of 1 to 10, how prepared are you for baby to be born?
1=Wait, this is actually going to come out of me? and 10=I'm so prepared I'm thinking of getting knocked up again before January! Mentally: 5 - I have my moments where I'm super ready and can't wait for this baby to be here. Then I have my moments where I'm freaked the #%&* out because I don't do well with doctors/hosptials/pain, etc. Preparation: 1 - We still have so much to purchase!

I'd say a solid 2.

I bought a few books on amazon based on people's suggestions from their baby libraries
Rants/raves: nothing.
5. There is part of me that is ready but I have a ton to do at work to get ready for my leave. I end up with days where I am ready to meet my boys and days where I hope to go all the way to my due date (unlikely due to the twins) because it would allow me to complete my project.
@MusicFanatic I cannot imagine anyone wanting to be on bed rest. I feel frustrated with how limited I feel now so bed rest would drive me stir crazy. Hope everything is okay.
