Saturday in the park (random)

Re: Saturday in the park (random)
@JennyP0222 Sorry you are playing the waiting game
@jnowosielski Welcome to Team Pink!
@happymamax2 Congratulations! I have a new nephew that was born three weeks ago, sadly I won't get to see him until Thanksgiving.
@MrsLaurenandDan That is absolutely beautiful
DH and I went and picked up some girl clothes this morning...I told him I wanted to just buy her one outfit and he ended up all over the place picking things out, LOL! It was so cute watching him get all excited over clothes. Then we went grocery shopping and came home and made some lunch...it's been a nice morning. Now I'm procrastinating because I'm supposed to be doing homework, blech.
Question for those of you who are STM+...how long was your LO in newborn clothes? I've been buying mostly short-sleeved 0-3 months since the weather warms up here towards the end of April, but I bought a couple of newborn sleepers and then second-guessed myself. I have had several people tell me their newborns went straight into 0-3 months and never even wore newborn clothes but 0-3 months seems so much bigger!
@chaysefaith Yay for A/S! Can't wait to hear!
@happymamax2 Congrats on the new nephew!
@meowkitten FTM here, but I'm waiting til closer to the end when we have an estimate of weight before I buy more than one of two newborn sizes. I also ordered several swaddlers that I think kiddo will hang out in mostly the first couple of months, probably with just a diaper underneath since it will be decently warm in March here.
@jnowosielski Yay for a baby girl! I love the idea of the matching game!
@FrecklesInside A massage sounds so lovely. Jealous!
@JennyP0222 Thinking about you! I have every hope it will be no big deal.
Just got back from a baby shower. Totally my kind if party. No games, just chatting and delicious pastries. BUT, someone mentioned another shower for when the mom has a second baby someday. I cringed so hard! No!
Also, ditto to the Chicago in my head now. "Walking through the park and reminiscing."
Felt my first official kicks last night from baby girl. It was amazing! I could feel them so differently from the flutters and little movements before. I could even feel them with my hand on my belly. I had R feel but he said he couldn't tell. Such a stick in the mud, says he doesn't know why I am dying for him to feel her now, that there will be plenty of times down the road that we will be sure that's what it is. He just doesn't get it but that's ok. He is constantly talking about her so I can let that slide. It's so cute to hear him talk about our daughter!!
@FrecklesInside sorry you've been in so much pain but hoping the massage helps. I've been hearing a lot of you mamas talk about prenatal massage. I keep meaning to ask my OB but keep forgetting. For some reason I had heard way long ago that they weren't really good for pregnant women but that was way long ago so obviously not probably true anymore. I could use one for sure.
@MrsLaurenandDan what a sweet story and love the romper! So glad the other mom offered it to you
@chaysefaith can't wait to hear how LO is doing!!
@chilibeansm0m I hope today is better. Hugs. I thought of you when I bought some pumpkin bread mix today!!! Yuuuummmmm.
@JennyP0222 hugs lady. FX it's nothing and the MFM will put you at ease. But I agree no more google!!
@luvsponies sorry about your fight but glad things are ok.
@suzyq0525 was it you that said your OB office wanted you to use Brachs jelly beans for your GTT? I totally saw some today at BJ's and HAD to buy them. Made me think of you!!
This is our first baby so part if me says to just splurge and do it. Then I think I could buy a lot for $95.
So what do y'all think? Is an Elective Ultrasound to find out the sex worth the money.
Also He said Bye to the Baby this morning before he left for work.. Awe made my Heart Smile.
*Emergency extraction on a molar due to a dead nerve and subsequent hardcore oral infection
*Extraction was crazy difficult and took nearly 3 hours
*Excruciating weekend before extraction and week afterwards
*husband left, came back for a week, left for a week, is currently back for two days, then will be gone until Thanksgiving via new job
*Mom fell and broke her foot in five places, tore ligament from bone, and bruised from toes to kneecap ironically trying to help me deliver newspapers to make sure *I* didn't fall in the rain
*A/S showed we are officially expecting a BOY
*A/S also showed both EIF and a SUA, had to go to a hospital an hour from home to get a second ultrasound with a specialist, spent week totally freaking out and without DH home
*Took mom to us with specialist as DH was still away, little Eli is looking healthy, nothing to be concerned about, thank God
*Repeated issues with dizziness and blurry vision have me on modified bedrest, not allowed to do my job by myself, or to drive much, and I have an appointment with cardiology this week
So things have been a little bit TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY insane around here. I am mostly staying positive... Baby is healthy, that's the only thing that matters. I must admit, the chaos is getting to me though...
Here's his little skeleton face with his hand under his chin.
I have to go back in 2 weeks for another check of the heart, she couldn't get a good view.
Ugh. And what's with these babies being uncooperative and not letting us see their hearts? I go back in two weeks to check Sam's too. Do you have any name ideas yet?
@rm2013 Those realistic dreams can be rough. Hope you get to have fun dreams tonight.
@happymamax2 Congrats on your new baby nephew!
@chilibeansm0m I hope you have a really great weekend that turns your mood around.
@jnowosielski That is a great idea for a reveal.
@mommyofkaylin I hope your little bub feels better soon/quick recovery. I like Leigh a lot!
@LBeez13 We finally got to see the first episode of season 5, and dang, so good!! I love that show.
@finallyourturn2 Sorry you're stuck being bored. Hope the time passes quickly and safely for you.
@MissyCee The festival sounds fun! I hope you have a stellar weekend to balance out the stress. Definitely try for some dow/relax time.
@RQuinlin Yay to feeling a bit better! But I hope her fever goes down and she gets back to normal soon.
@AGM0616 So happy you have your anatomy scan soon. Those are fun! Are you planning to find out the sex? Try to relax and take in all the Dr Who you want this weekend.
@chaysefaith How was the market? Love farmers markets!! Congrats on your boy. I didn't get told anything at the scan either (other than the sex). The tech kept saying she couldn't tell me anything and that the ob would give me all the information. It was SO frustrating. Will your ob be providing you the info on how it went?
@lib1974 Sounds like a crappy wake up call. But hopefully the rest of your day has gone better. (I am so not a morning person, but a new roof seems worth it
@knitnut What gaming session?
@luckystarz Have fun at the gala. That sounds like it would be great fun!
@cinderella105 Taco bell sounds delicious. Not sure when I'll have it again, but I definitely have been wanting to check out their breakfast selections.
@JennyP0222 I'm so sorry you're going through that. Lots of thoughts and prayers for a healthy next check up!!! Try not to stress too much in the meantime. Google is not always your friend.
@luvsponies Hope everything resolves and that you guys are happy by tonight. Being busy is definitely stressful. Hopefully your H is being awesome to relieve some of your stress, post-argument. I've had a shorter fuse lately too, and feel bad when I have a bad moment. It's definitely not worth the work of a fight, but I do pick one, sometimes.
@jack12trip I hope you manage to avoid morning sickness going forward and that was just a one time thing.
@MrsLaurenandDan That is a beautiful romper with a great meaning behind it!
@FrecklesInside How was your massage?Hope you had a great massage therapist! And, yay! to a sleep orgasm. That's a great start to the day. Massage Heights has a good program, too, for a monthly massage. I was on that and it's pretty amazing. They do very well at the prenatal. (And your first visit ever is really cheap, too, to try them out)
@thejucheidea That sounds like an amazing trip! We haven't decided on our Christmas/New Years plans yet, but Europe is high on the list. You really know your stuff to go by that many modes of transport. How many times have you guys been?
@Chunkymonkeylvr Sorry you didn't sleep well. It's great that your hubby still wants to cuddle all the time. Maybe you could cuddle for 10 mins then separate spaces?
@ruemorgan Have fun out and about today!
@WAMOM Definitely sounds like it'll be a busy weekend, but painting can be fun. Is your H helping? And I totally lol ' d at your dream.
@saltyfins That's pretty scary. Have you ever had that before? I don't know much about sleep paralysis (like what can cause it), but that definitely would put me on edge to fall asleep. Lots of T&Ps that was the last time it happens!
@meowkitten I loved clothes shopping for the new little one, but bought way too much, and probably things she'll never wear. I only bought a few NB items because I heard the same thing. Figured I could buy more once she was born if she's tiny. But since I'm planning to CD, I wanted to go up a size anyway. So I bought many 0-3 months items. Where have you been buying clothes from?
@CoozieInMyPurse I didn't even think about using swaddlers with just a diaper. I bought some sleepers to wear in the swaddle, but swaddle with diaper might be easier.
@jcar2 I hope you manage to get more sleep.tonight! Jet lag combined with an inability to sleep well is leading me to live off of naps lately.
@starfishlovesyou Did you have a good time at the baby shower? Hopefully you had a great time catching up with the friends you're close with.
@healthyfor2 Yay to walking! I have some prenatal dvd's I'm hoping made it through customs so I can get back to exercise. We also have elliptical I'd like to use, but I tend to overdo it on those. It's been months since I was exercising. I was SO good, in the beginning, too.
@kellbell1982 He's an absolutely adorable little kitten! I have two cats (both adopted from shelters) and love them to pieces. One is staying with my parents and the other came overseas with me. They really do an amazing job at lightening life!
@22roses The waiting is hard for the A/S. But a week isn't that far away. So if it's just to find out sex, you might be better off to anticipate. But if it's to surprise your hubby early, for his bday, that would be a really great surprise!
@stellarsoundz Welcome back. It sounds like some seriously tough times. I hope your mom is on the mend. Congrats on the boy and so glad he's healthy! Keep resting well, and try not to let this overwhelm you.
@earthian That's an amazing deal! ! I discovered garage sales recently for baby clothes. Can't beat 25 cents for a cute outfit. Sad I spent so much prior to that, lol.
@createmagic14 Yum, cake!! And great job on the adult activities.
So, randoms!
I arrived in Doha two nights ago. Still suffering jet lag pretty bad, but have been sleeping it off with naps to get on the new schedule.
I nearly missed my connecting flight in Amsterdam since my phone 'updated' to the wrong time and was an hour off. Heard my name called and had to sprint an entire terminal in Amsterdam (and all the way to the very end) which was NOT fun. Got there and the lady said the door was shut, but she would walk me in. I got on the plane at the same time it was supposed to be taking off. Yeah, I was 'that guy' and I'm sure the other passengers were happy they waited on me ...
Puppy got there safely, but got sick in her cage a couple times, so I felt really bad for her.
I have toured the city yesterday and today. They have a mall here that looks just like the Venetian hotel inside. They have SO many American restaurants and fast food places (I've seen at least 5 KFCs). I'm most excited about the number of good indian restaurants! Yum!!
And just in case you were wondering about my priorities on the flight ... yep, my snoogle folds down into a nice ball!
Thanks for the advice on sizes everyone, I think I'm going to stick to 0-3 months. We are CDing and I didn't even think about that but she will probably be better off in 0-3 months anyways!
July Siggy Challenge. Summer Fail. March 2015 Group
The u/s tech said my doctor will get the results by Tuesday at the latest. I'm hoping she'll call me either way but I'm also going to take the "no news is good news" approach.
I'm glad you made it safely! Was that the mall in your pic? It's gorgeous!
I got impatient and called my ob the next day. Since the tech kept saying that she couldn't tell me anything, i kept thinking that something must be wrong, lol! The ob had actually looked at the pics and said everything looked good. Sorry you're having such a stubborn baby. Mine wouldn't move for one of the shots needed and she had me go to the bathroom. While in there, I did a yoga downward dog style move and when I got back, she had actually moved quite a bit, lol!
That was the mall! It also had an ice skating rink, a small carnival (with ferris wheel), bowling alley, IMAX cinema (although movies are majorly edited, here), laser tag, and go karts. Amongst hundreds of stores and restaurants. I guess people don't do much outside here, so they really do the indoors well!
@thejucheidea YES! Exactly! I think that my husband thinks planning a vacation is just pointing and clicking on a computer for 5 mins and done. So NOT the case. He enjoys certain aspects of travel, but he's not really a fan of just travelling to travel (although he does have fun once there). Iceland would have been awesome! I actually really would love to make it to Finland to stay in the glass igloos, see the aurora boreolis, and even spend a night in the ice hotel. I've definitely got a very large bucket list.
---- Quote fail ----
Oh my goodness! Will you take pics/post a couple? You're not staying the night? I am so curious how it is!!
@JennyP0222 Thanks! And it seriously is a HUGE mimic in design. I think that a Quatari must have seen it, then copied it, lol! They love italy here, a lot. And actually there's an entire section of town, called the Pearl, on reclaimed land, that looks like italy. Apparently the buildings there can have color since they are on reclaimed land. They were all so bright. Very different than the white and beige of the rest of the city (other than skyscrapers)
