So I just randomly thought of this. Even though I'm going to be starting maternity leave a few weeks before my duedate, since DH works on the same campus, if I happen to go into labor at work, it will be so amazingly handy to have him here. Like awesome scenario.

Hope you're all well! I just got back from the doctor's. Had sequential screening blood test and we did a quick heartbeat check. 143 which is I was told is perfect (120-160 being considered normal) and what was super awesome cool was that the midwife could tell that the baby was moving a lot due to the little bloops on the doppler. Then mommy brain took over and I mixed up all the numbers in DOB. Then when I got home and let hubs listen to the HB recording, I pointed the tv remote at the AC unit to try and turn down the noise it was making..... :-?
ETA re warnings: I have two for utter bullcrap reasons. I've emailed admin twice already to ask them to remove them. I am going to keep messaging until I get a reply!
@ecwk lol yes. and I actually did flip at first and messaged admin back because they sent me two messages. One said it was my 1st warning and the 2nd said it was my 1st, 2nd AND 3rd warning! I was like whoa, wait a damn second! Told them about the bs that was and they changed it to my 1st. Anywho, I do wish that maybe they would chill on the warnings and actually fix the crap going on with this crashing freakin app! Lol

Literally spent the entire day (on and off between work and meetings) to get caught up. I've missed so much and can't remember who to tag on anything, so here are my random thoughts...
I'm now craving a Big Mac... And thinking I can MAYBE forgive McD's since you got a raise!
I'm also on the last day of my first tri and so excited but no ms here. To be honest I'd be ok with it to prove to me baby is well.
I keep feeling like I'm going to catch up to all you early March due dates but then remember your weeks keep growing too! (Pregnancy brain/secretly jealous of your milestones!) I just want to feel my baby!!!! Is that too much to ask?! Waaahh.
@ecwk lol I was surprised too. I just know that I was going to go into super internet stalker I'm whopping whoever got me banned mode over an old freaking comment lmao. Hopefully they'll reply to you soon and it'll be good!

So I called HR yesterday. And this morning when I got in our restaurants owner was waiting to talk to me. So, thats bad already. And so what my boss is doing is apparently perfectly fine because no one had asked me to provide a doctor's note stating that I'm pregnant. Also, I have to have uniform-appropriate pants tomorrow when I come in. And then and only then will they order my new shirts. So, I may not actually come back to work tomorrow. I may quit. This is too much stress, and the only thing I want is to be able to leave my shirt untucked.
I would threaten them for their actions our of spite.. discrimination and a hostile work environment which started after you told them
WTAF SERIOUSLY I CANNOT EVEN WITH THAT BULLSHIT I AM SO PISSED FOR YOU! Sorry for yelling I know I'm late to this but omg no. NOPE. I would also be throwing around legal jargon and talking about discrimination and HIPPA and such. Even if you don't follow thru. And if they sack you, file for unemployment until November. They are in the wrong here. Maybe even call one of those lawyer hotlines or google for some legal advice or talk to a law student. I'm not a lawsuit kind of person, but they are wrong so make them sweat!
Ok never mind I got to the page where you got a raise @2goofykids YAY! How funny that they are trying to cover ass bc they must have realized you could get them in deep shit
To everyone with the warnings - I'm just over here shaking my head with eyerolls. So ridiculous.
@labacker I'm the same - I never remember stuff so I type as I go. Then I get further and everything I was going to say has become irrelevant or I'm sidetracked and forget. Today I'm just posting it anyhow. Bc hiiiiiiii guys!

Here's random: I just bought my first pig! He's a cutie, and will be in my freezer by February 10th.
I found this disturbing thinking you bought a pet pig and were going to stick him in your freezer. )
Same here! But I'm still thinking she bought a pet pig and will kill it around Feb??
No, no, sorry! He's not a pet. We live on a farm!!
Oh okay that makes sense I was thinking of the cute little pigs people keep as pets and pictured that going in your freezer it was a disturbing image. But it makes sense since you live on a farm.
Edited because my iPad went crazy and typed gibberish on its own.
We just came back from visiting my friend's farm today. My kids love the pigs and sheep especially. Her kids named their pigs - I just don't know that I could handle that after we named them. Maybe, if I was used to it, but I think I'd have to have a no names for the food animals rule on my imaginary farm the only two piggy names I remember are Pinky and RockNRoll. Their youngest named one of the mama barn cats EmergencyCat.

We have a strict "no naming food animals" policy here. The chickens have names because they are egg layers, and we have no intention of eating them. The steer next door don't get names (they have a much bigger farm than us) but the cows do, cause they stick around to make more steer.
Emergency Cat is an awesome barn cat name!! We have one, but he came with the property, so we just call him "the tuxedo cat"...he won't come to us anyway, but he keeps the barn rodent free! ☺️
So today was a good day! Had our "midway" doctors appointment (I'm 18w 3d). Everything is looking good! I know people don't like see ultrasounds of baby's genitalia, so I don't know if this falls under the same category, but I have to share that while we were doing the scan little man reach down and grabbed his genitalia and made everyone laugh! I know it's probably just a little boy thing that they do but it still made us laugh!
I also need to get better at writing people advice on here. Most the time everyone else is faster to respond and gives way better advice than I would have thought of! But I will continue to just "love" what you ladies are saying and try and write to people!
It has been a hell week here, works been slamming, Drs appoint for me (thanks again for all the love ladies!) , sleep apnea test for Dh (so I have been sleeping on a cot in DDs room), and one of my best friends was here starting Monday until tomorrow morning. I promise to be less Mia by Saturday ❤️❤️❤️

Ugh I just need to vent- I got some awkward and sad (to me) news. My friend texted me to tell me that she is sick of trying to find a working relationship so she is going to the courthouse today with her baby's father and getting married at 2:30. I know there is nothing I can do for her anymore. This is my friend who found out she was pregnant and broke up with baby's daddy, and she had no one to help her. I took time off my own work so I could take her to the hospital and I was there in the labor/delivery and coached her through, and she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. That father never walked back into their lives until the baby was 4 months old.
Since then it has been a roller coaster of ups and downs- they get together, they break up. They have done this 4-5 times now. She says she tries dating other men but she can't find one she likes. I know she desperately wants a family, but she is going about it all the wrong way. Most people pop out babies to save a failing relationship- she is doing the opposite. He has a child from a previous relationship, as does she, so there are 3 children altogether. She overattached herself to his son, and she tells me quite often that she mostly still talks with this man because she fell in love with his kid. His kid has a drugged up mom, which is why dad has custody of him. Her oldest child doesn't like this man at all- its one of those "I'm not his child so I'm treated differently" type situations.
Its all one big mess. And there is nothing more I can do. I talked her into their "second" break-up- they got together, moved into a house for 6 weeks when he was telling her he was talking online to other girls and thinking of moving to Colorado, then making her show him proof of where all her money went, he never paid his share of rent etc... but break-ups 3, 4, and 5, were all on her. Now they are together again, and getting married. I'll probably never see much of her- or that beautiful baby girl that I helped bring into this world- anymore.
I don't need the stress in my life, despite how close we have become as friends, and knowing she is just making a mistake. I simply told her that if she feels that is what she needs to do, then she needs to try. But I did warn her it is a LOT harder to get out of a marriage than just a break-up (and even during break-ups cops were called several times on both parties), and it takes a lot more commitment to make a marriage work than just having a child together. I wished her congratulations but deep down I know she'll be calling me again when that fiasco falls apart in 6 months. It all makes my heart ache, for her, and for those kids who are going to be put through hell in the months to come.
End vent.

i am really sorry, @charley15. such a frustrating situation to watch and be unable to help! i have had a friend in my life in a slightly different (but reminiscent of this) situation before, and i finally just had to stop being there and slowly cut ties, bc i felt like our friendship was so emotionally draining on me. i was always there to help her thru whatever drama, and she never had time (or desire?) to chat with me, just enjoy company etc, and esp not to hear my worries. i found myself not only frustrating my husband by sharing all of it to him, but also beginning to feel resentful that she was affecting me the way she was (making me sad/angry for her, feeling useless when she would ask for help and i would spend hours giving it to her, just to watch her undo everything). and that stuff affected my family too. she drifted away for a bit as she would sometimes, and the last time she made contact again, i just let it go. my husband even said he was so glad. i don't mean to sound like i don't care, or i wasn't getting anything out of the relationship, bc i know that all relationships can go thru periods of give and periods of take, and sometimes it is not your time, but this was a self-destructive pattern with her, and even though i love her and am sorry about it, i feel relieved, like a big weight is gone. i have not regretted closing her chapter in my life.

@oceanchild its going to be difficult letting go of this one- her oldest daughter is also good friends with my daughter- so she will be around for sleepovers, birthday parties and such. But where I am the one that her mom comes to to vent/ask for advice etc, my girlie does the same for her daughter. My dd makes a great conversationalist, and is much like her mama- ready to lend an ear to those who need it. This child is going to need the help of a close friend to get through the rough times.

Anyone else know what gender you WANT the baby to be but everyone tries to tell you it's going to be the opposite? Im getting so frustrated with people telling me like they have a clue. I just want to find out for myself and either it will be what I am hoping for it won't. I will love him/her just the same but it gets so annoying when people just butt in and purposely say the opposite of what you want to hear. Im a hormonal grumpy mess. Just back off please!
Anyway 16 weeks today and have an appointment today. Anyone find out what it is at 16 weeks before? I know you can find out between 16-20 weeks. If it's a girl I assume it's harder to tell at this point. Just wondering if anyone knows from personal experience?

By 16 weeks you "should" be able to tell. The baby's genitalia (if its female) should have moved to more of an internal state if that makes sense by week 14 or 15. If its a boy the genitalia will still be external.

I am sure you will be able to tell either way. We found out at 15 weeks DS was a boy. I have an appointment at 16 weeks this time and hoping to find out then too. I am so ready to shop for nursery stuff!

People are obsessed with telling me this baby is going to be a girl because it's time for me to have a girl since I have two boys. I seriously don't care if it's girl or boy. I just want healthy. I am sick of this discussion with people though.

@charley15 I'm sorry, that's a really frustrating experience. The best you can do is be there for her if/when she needs you. Relationships (as we all know) are hard work, but not that kind of hard work. I hope she finds what she's looking for.
@schewitz my MIL did this to me a lot..."I just KNOW it's a girl, you are carrying so differently this time." etc, etc, ad nauseum. I kept saying "Don't get your hopes up, this one feels like a boy to me.." but she'd shoot me down every time. It drove me nuts, but mainly because almost everything she does drives me nuts. Telling her it is a boy was a singular pleasure that I doubt will ever be repeated.
I am thinking of dropping by Buy Buy Baby on my lunch break today as an exploratory mission. I know there is a thread about baby gear, but I'm curious what I actually should look at? FTM so I am not really sure what I "need," the difference between all of the strollers/car seats/etc.

Go onto Lucy's List if you want to start researching. I'm sorry to say this but you are going to be incredibly overwhelmed by the amount of stuff you have to look at. I think for first baby, we spent HOURS at Babies R Us trying to find just the perfect things.

Your basics you should start with are car seat and crib. Travel systems can go with your car seat (we liked our Chicco KeyFit 30, but we didn't get the travel system that goes with it - there are universal strollers that can hold the car seat). You will have the option to wear baby or put in stroller - a lot of people wear babies so they don't need the travel system stroller while they are still in the infant car seat. With a crib you need to decide if you want all matching furniture (definitely not a necessity but awesome if you want it) - and just know that IKEA does have perfectly find $100 cribs. You should decide if you want a glider/rocker/recliner for the nursery - I personally prefer a leather rocker/recliner because you do spend a lot of time in it overnight with baby - and you're going to want comfort for that (I say splurge on this purchase since it's one of the most used items). Research a diaper pail system if you want it - I personally prefer the Diaper Genie - after over a year, ours still doesn't stink - yeah the bags can be expensive but get them at Costco or Amazon in bulk. You will probably need a baby bathtub - just go cheap on that one, you don't need the fancy/high tech tub. You will need diapers - you can either start stocking up now or wait since you really don't know what kind of diapers your baby will take to - our first baby did great with Costco/Kirkland Signature, our second is a Pampers baby. There are so many more things, but try not to get overwhelmed.

@charley15 you're a better friend than me. I'd be understanding to a certain degree but after a while, she needs to seriously make some mature decisions and deal with their consequences. If it hasn't worked while they're dating, marriage isn't going to make it better. It's amazing that you've been there to help her piece her life together when it's fallen apart but if she keeps making the same mistakes, I don't see the point. I consider it tough love. If she didn't learn the nice way (with support), so learn it the hard way (truly on her own). Maybe it's just self preservation but I can't sit and watch a friend continually make the same mistakes and then take it a step further for all the wrong reasons.
@flowerpower5838 ftm too. I did some online research about car seats and strollers and now that I've narrowed it down I'm planning on actually seeing them in person and getting a "feel" for them. I started with strollers because I knew I wanted a jogging stroller but I didn't want a separate newborn stroller. Looked up safety ratings, read reviews, and online comparisons. Then I looked at which car seats can be used with the stroller I chose. Since they have the carrier that snaps on and off I want to actually go see them and hold them to see which one is more comfortable or manageable for me. But like I said, I'm a newbie too. Maybe I'm just delusional and I'll be overwhelmed at the store too! Ha ha!
Oh and FYI most baby stores will let you take car seats out of the store (with some collateral of course) and let you put it in your car to see if it fits - and trust me, you will want to do this. You don't want to end up having a new car seat delivered a few days before delivery only to find it's too big for your car to be rear-facing to be scrambling for something that fits. (And of course I wouldn't know this from experience at all)

Oh! I also read somewhere on this board about starting a diaper fund. Since we're newbies and don't know which diapers we'll prefer, you can start a small piggy bank where you add a few bucks every few days so that when you do need diapers you've "stocked up" but aren't stuck with just one brand.
