I am going to the Dixie Chicks concert this weekend with my best friend!!! I seriously cannot contain my excitement!!! We are making shirts that say "Mary Anne" and "Wanda." Also, so happy my little girl will be in my belly listening to their music. I am so excited I can't stop thinking about it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
edit: sorry I wanted to add that I changed my avatar pic to an ultrasound picture of my baby. It's still me! (I get weird about internet safety, even though I know we will all get an FB group eventually and that will be really awesome but for now I changed )
Me: 26, DH: 31 Diagnosed with Hashimoto's 06/17
BFP #1: 05/11/16 DD born 01/01/17, Happy New Year TTC #2: 01/2019 BFP #2 09/24/19--Ended in chemical pregnancy BFP #3 07/02/2020 Due: 03/10/2021
We had our anatomy scan today and baby is so beautiful. We didn't find out the sex today because we will find out on Friday with our family. The envelope is just sitting on my table tempting me. I actually thought baby wouldn't cooperate because for the first hour its legs were crossed. Can't wait til Friday!
So I'm meeting every doctor in the practice so I'm comfortable no matter who's on call at a given moment. Yesterday's appointment was with the newest doc, hired last year, he specializes in high risk pregnancies and deliveries (so, perfect for our situation)
and he's SUCH A BABE. Like, DAMN. Usually I'm totally ok with hot dude doctors but I feel kind of awkward about probably shitting myself in front of a damned male model if I'm able to have a vaginal birth
Awwww man now I desperately want cheetos and it's way too late to drive 15 minutes to the store and buy them. It's going to have to be cheetos for 2nd breakfast after dropping DD off at daycare tomorrow.
@christac1010 wow that is seriously my exact same eating schedule, occasionally plus or minus 30 minutes. The other day this girl at work came over to my desk and was like, "You're eating again?? Every time I come over here you're eating!"
@TinaBelcher I totally understand the hot doctor situation. I felt the same way with my pregnancy with my DD. There was one male doctor who was just so damn handsome. He was sweet and friendly but I still didn't want him to deliver for superficial reasons. Turns out he was the one on call and he delivered my DD. He was outstanding and professional and an amazing advocate for us. He was calm and sensitive and I was so glad that we had him. It still brings tears to my eyes thinking of how wonderful he was. So..... there is hope that you'll feel differently if you do end up getting him. In the heat of the moment, all self-consciousness goes out the window.
Guys, I've been trying to get H to go to ikea with me for at least 6 weeks, he keeps making plans every damned weekend that make such a long shopping trip impossible. But - of course!- he's making time to go today with his best friend!! (Friend just had a baby last month and they haven't hung out since so I get it but... to ikea?? Rage! At the destination, not hanging out with friend)
He says "fine I won't go with friend, let's go tonight". After 9-11 hours of me bossing shop rats around and running around like a maniac. I could've hit him. I work my ass off and come home dead tired, there's no effing way. I didn't yell at all but told him very calmly and clearly that I'm extremely annoyed with the destination, and now he's going to make room in his weekend for our much neede IKEA trip this weekend or next because I can no longer load the car solo, and he's not going to say a word about how long I take because he was "just there", and there is no negotiating.
I made him so nervous he slept on the couch hahaha! (Usually we shout for a minute and then we're fine, being mega calm scared him lololol)
@TinaBelcher hahaha! This makes me laugh. My husband has told me he always knows not to argue with me if I'm calm and collected about the situation because if he did he'd be dead. Lol A good scaring is what they need every once and awhile.
I just wanted to put this out there at how thankful I am that I changed schools this year. I had a HORRIBLE experience at one of the "best" middle schools our district has. I voluntarily staff reduced myself (asked the district to cancel my contract at old building to find a new one within the district) which is a pretty big deal given 50 were requested and only 25 were granted.
Yesterday was was my first day at the new school getting my classroom setup. I had nothing in the room two weeks ago when I dropped stuff off. By yesterday, I had 6 computers in the room, another teacher offered her extra working printer to be switched to my room, my Principal who had shorts and a Tshirt on and put up two whiteboards in my room and said my SmartBoard should be in soon! I could have cried and I did when I came home and told my husband. Last year I had to beg as to why I needed a document camera because I was "just" a special Ed teacher, buy my own technology cords because the teacher before took everything and call the IT guy for months to get working computers--it was December before I got them replaced.
Just happy I had faith in myself to go through with the reduction, interviews and accepting the position against advice from just about everyone except for those closest to me. Just feeling pretty thankful for right now for getting in a building that I feel apart of again!

Wow, I'm so glad you got things switched! I think having a good working environment is important in any field, but especially in education. My mom is an ESL teacher, so I know through her how much work and time teachers put in and I also know through her how difficult it can be to be a teacher for students who don't always have strong advocates. I'm so glad you're at a school where you have more supportive coworkers!
I eat breakfast at 7am, first snack at 9am, second snack at 11am, lunch at 1pm, and afternoon snack at 3pm. The pregnancy hunger struggle is real.
Yup, this is me except I eat breakfast about 6ish. I've learned to just eat small portions each time, because unless I stuff myself I am going to be hungry in two hours no matter what...
You would think after 7 years of marriage DH might listen to me about time management. We just drove 2 hours back to our old town for a wedding and we had to get dressed for the rehearsal in a Jos A Bank Clothiers because he didn't listen to me that they might have to make last minute alterations.
I will say this is a step up from the time we got ready for a wedding in a Target store bathroom.

I'm feeling so accomplished today. Not only was I able to find a dress for a wedding, but I found TWO bras that are absolutely glorious. I'm not sure how many have you have been professionally fitted for bras, but it's basically a life altering experience. I wanted to dance through the store with my newly strapped up boobs.
I give all you STM so much credit, today my DH and I are watching my cousins kids, basically like my niece and nephew. We took them to the park and then a local beach, we are now sitting home in the air waiting for their clothes to dry. Their ages are 4 and 18m, they are so much fun but I'm already ready to sit and do nothing.
My best friend just told me today that she's 7 weeks pregnant with her second child! I'm just so excited to be pregnant at the same time! I know it's really lame, but it's something we always hoped would happen - and now it is happening!

I think it's great. I just went to a birthday party tonight. It was for the twins of my best friend from high school. They are 11 and those are her youngest children. Our lives took completely different paths and timelines, and now we have children at completely different stages. I would have loved it to have children at the same time that could have grown up together.

Anyone else a binge watching addict? I recently started "Suits" on Amazon and now I'm ugly crying at Donna getting fired and Harvey sending her off at the elevator without a word. Hormones?
@KAShock H and I are watching Suits now too, and season 4 is basically one giant sob-fest. Trust me, it's not just hormones. That show just likes to crush you sometimes (though not as badly as any of the Shonda-land shows- those shows just beat you down week after week).
@TinaBelcher My OB for my last pregnancy was also way hot and way nice and super chill about everything. Ugh I loved him so much and was devastated when I learned he had left the practice. After my H doing some Google searches it looks like he moved an hour away and isn't practicing medicine anymore Also, if you didn't know already IKEA has a $20 off of $150 coupon on their website.
I don't normally participate in the Randoms thread because it's a lot for me but I thought I'd give it a try. I do better with my weekly ones I'm not going to try and catch up on everything mentioned but will try to participate going forward.
Just have a rant that I need to share so thank you in advance for reading I am so tired of people asking me when my ultrasound is. My MIL and SIL both asked me today thinking it was this week and my mom asked me Monday thinking it was this week. My mom actually wrote it on her calendar last week so all she has to do is check it. I'm to the point where I'm losing the ability to act excited about it when people start asking questions. They all know we are finding out the sex, and I know they are excited to find out too. We aren't doing any big reveal party but this time around I really want to do a cute picture reveal which will require a little prep work. A part of me doesn't want to share the news with anyone until the picture is ready. I think I'm going to talk to DH about telling people they have to wait until we are ready to share the news and can't ask us Tuesday. I'm excited and anxious and really hoping everything is looking good. That's my number one priority, finding out sex is just the topping on the cake. I'm just grumpy this week and everyone asking me is driving me crazy.
@TinaBelcher when I had my last son, my doctor as I can only describe had the appearance of a Greek God (glow and all) performed a perinatal massage on me for an entire hour before he allowed me to push. I had an epidural by this time and was not experiencing any pain and all I could think of was how my poor husband has to witness this incredibly hot Dr massage my lady business!
@Carly79 oh I would totally hold the sex of your baby hostage until you're ready to announce it. You don't owe them any information so they can just be patient and wait until you're ready to tell!
@raquel87 omg do we have the same doctor haha I totally would describe my doctor that way. My poor DH was like "I think I liked it better when your OBGYN was some old grandpa guy or a woman"
@Carly79 you can do whatever you want to do! We decided not to find out the sex at the ultrasound and had the tech write it down and seal it in an envelope. We found out with our family a few days later. We knew we had to wait a few days and didn't want people asking us what the sex was, especially my mom who babysat for us while we had our appt.
@katesmama0706 I'm sure my husband would agree with yours lol! I did have a female ob once, she was so rough!!! I was like excuse me we have the same parts, you should know that hurts!
@TinaBelcher@raquel87@katesmama0706 Oh, man My RE was a silver fox. Obviously in his late forties early fifties but definitely still very attractive. My OB is a woman but she thankfully has been very gentle.
My travel system came in the mail today! I'm so excited! Between the stroller, car seat, baby k'tan and lillebaby all the transportation bases seem to be covered!
Went to a baby wearing/cloth diaper demo with my mom group today and it was so helpful!! I have zero interest in cloth diapers, but I really want to start baby wearing with this baby and I feel so much more confident about making it work now. I tried with DD and it just didn't happen. If any of you are interested, my friends recommended the Maya ring sling and the Pikkolo soft carrier for newborn-toddlers!
I feel like I'm getting the short end of the stick in the pregnancy cravings department. I want the same meals everyday. Oatmeal, salad with olives, artichokes and heart of palm and green apples. Do I crave McDonalds or chocolate or ice cream? No. Just salad and oatmeal. How exciting.
