  • Happy Thursday ladies!

    Week/Fruit: 21/pomegranate

    How are you feeling? Ok, less nausea but still eating like crap. I also have a cold right now and I'm afraid it's turning into a sinus infection, ick.

    Appointments/Updates? Appt with MW next week and US the week after

    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!

    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.

    Week/Fruit: 24/cantaloupe

    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.

  • Week/Fruit: 20 weeks! Half Baked :)

    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: 22/papaya

    How are you feeling? Really good!

    Appointments/Updates? None this week

    Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? Nope

    Rants/Raves: The date has been set for my baby shower, so I went on Pinterest last night and was getting so excited at all the ideas! I'm also excited because DH and I are going to Dallas tomorrow to watch UCLA play at Cowboys Stadium. I don't really care about the game, I just want to get away and see a city I've never been to before!

    I am probably a 7. I've done it before, but it has been over 6 years. So I kinda know what to expect, but that can also make it more scary BECAUSE I know what to expect! LOL

  • ETA:  @musicfanatic, if there is any advice you can give to friends of those on bedrest, I would appreciate it.  My friend just got put on bedrest, in the hospital.  I don't know if she even wants visitors, but if she does, any advice you've got would be great!
    I'm bailing on the thread today, I have no energy.
    But I saw this- @ladyamanuet- never say to her "I would love to be on bedrest! I would love to be lazy and not have to cook or clean" because she'll want to slap your eyeballs off your face :)  (if one more person says this to me, I'm going to SCREAM).  Laying in bed for a day is nice.  Two might be even be nice.  Any more? Not so much.  And when it's not even an option to get up, it's extremely difficult- both emotionally and physically.  

    (not saying you would say this, just saying in general.. a lot of people have to me, and it's really really hard to hear).  I'd rather cook and clean right now, trust me!!

    I would flat out ask her if she wants company, if you're comfortable doing so. There are days I want to see NO one (I'm not even allowed to shower daily and just feel gross) and there are other days that I really really really crave company and feel super sad if no one is there. 

    I'm sorry to hear your friend is on bedrest :(  I hope she and her baby are OK.

    .. and happy Thursday, alllllll.

    How are you feeling? My lower back is starting to not feel so good.  Otherwise pretty good.

    Appointments/Updates? Appointment tomorrow. Hoping to switch prenatal care providers before my next checkup.

    Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? All of the cloth diapers! They are all so cute!

    Rants/Raves: This baby needs to learn not to kick Mama's bladder. It's not making my IC any easier!

    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! I'm probably a solid 5 or 6. I've been wanting this for a long time!
  • Week/Fruit: 21/pomegranate. The fruits stopped making sense to me weeks ago.

    How are you feeling? Not bad. I can't complain when I see what some of the ladies on this bmb are going through.

    Appointments/Updates? I just finished my appointment. It was the last one of the day so it felt very wham bam thank you ma'am, see you in 3 weeks.

    Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? Not since last week

    Rants/Raves: my boss sucks. But that's a long, boring story.

  • @MusicFanatic‌ Thanks! I found out literally 10 minutes after I posted that that she gave birth today. As far as I know, all is well. But I agree. I would NEVER tell someone on bed rest it must be awesome to be lazy. I truly feel for you that you are basically "stuck" but I am so glad they got your BP down and baby girl is snug and cooking!
    Oh geez!  Was the baby early? I'm glad they're both well!

  • @MusicFanatic‌ she was due in November, so yes. But papa tweeted pictures of him holding his tiny beautiful girl. She had a breathing tube but otherwise looked great! Haven't heard anything since then. Anxiously awaiting.
    @ladyamanuet - I'm so happy to hear that. Hopefully her breathing stabilizes and she can do it on her own soon.  (you have a PM, btw).

  • 23 weeks, 2 grapefruit

    Feel? The heartburn has started and achy hips. Otherwise just the normal stuff.

    Appointments: next week I will take the glucose test and get cleared to travel through Oct at least (babymoon and work).

    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.
