They also get my weight off by a lot. I weigh myself on the Wii Fit, naked, and it can change within the same day to 4-5 pounds more at the doctor. I don't understand it, but I trust the nude reading more.
This happens the me, too. I'm weighed with my clothes, shoes, and winter jacket on. Totally inaccurate. I freaked out at my last appointment as i thought I gained a ton of weight, but it was because I was was wearing snow boots. I like things to be accurate, so this really bothers me, haha!
@JulyBaby17 Haha me too! I'm actually concerned about my weight gain, so I want an accurate result, damn it! I mean I know that getting me nude and taking my weight at the doctor would be a tad much, but they don't even let me take my heavy hoodies or my sneakers off. It throws it, I know it does. So they aren't worried, but I am!

The nurses at my office always tell me to dress lightly and to always either leave the jackets/sweatshirts, etc in the car or take them off before walking back to be weighed.
@MrsLa3 I am, thanks for checking on me. There were multiple tornados and one got pretty close to my office- I had to shelter in place in my boss's bathroom since it was the only room without windows. The eastern side of the city was hit pretty hard.

Glad you're safe! I've heard there were quite a few.
@supermom83 Happy Birthday!!!! So sorry things are so tough with caring for your Mom - you.are.aweseome. If you have a little sip of wine -there will be no judgement here!
I've been eating every hour today. I swear I really make up for those days that I'm not as hungry. I have to fill out this food log for my midwife and she said to make sure to do it on a "normal" day, but I don't know when I will ever have one of those.

@kerils I have to agree with you. I got in "trouble" at my appt last Friday because I'd lost another 1.5 lbs. I was up on the scale the entire week and on Thursday I didn't have a huge appetite and lost weight. They want me to put on 6 lbs before my next visit on 3/10 so I'm trying to pack in more calories, but it's hard when you don't have an appetite some days, but others you're ravenous!
I'm telling my boss today. I'm super nervous. Fingers crossed for me please!
This will be me shortly. My boss comes back from vacation tomorrow. I'm half way through. I know it's not going to be an issue but he'll want assurances that I'm returning and I don't think I am. (Because the job just isn't for me, not cause of baby)
I could easily be team green because my nursery is slated to be gender neutral so I don't have to change it for my subsequent children. I've held off on clothes until we find out the sex. But I'm a planner. And I know, I know, you CAN plan even with team green but I'm type A and just HAVE to know. Even now I get annoyed calling it "baby" or "it" so I just call it "him" and "he" because it's easy. And probably because I'm wavering on my girl name so I'm hoping it's a boy so I don't have to worry about picking out girls. (lol not really. I don't care what it is but y'all get where I'm going with that haha) DH wants to know too so we're on the same page.
Baby has felt real to me for quite some time but today I felt my first real gut-wrenching sense of love for the little bugger. I bought my first onesie. I was in a store buying a book and wandered over to the baby section. It's this hilarious onesie about being "hangry" and was gender neutral so I decided I had to have it. It's so small. I honestly just want to carry it around with me. I'm totally creeped out by that haha! It just makes it very real seeing the size of the little life that will soon be in it. It was my "catapult" moment into "Okay I just want this to be over and to meet you already!"
I have a question that is too dumb for the dumb questions thread so I'll ask it here!
I am starting to think about nursery decorations, just in my head, and I'd like to have a theme, maybe space or dinosaurs (both things I thought were cool as a kid (and honestly still do) so I hope baby grows up liking them and learning about them too). When I floated it to husband, his response was "great! And sports! Let's do a sports theme! Let's just do all three themes together! Space, dinosaurs and sports! Done!!" Ugh. I mean, I'm really trying to take him seriously here... so... my question is, isn't the point of a theme that it's one theme? Has anyone done a nursery with multiple themes?? To me it sounds like a crazy mess. But I'm not good at decorating.
@mj8215 that does sound like a crazy mess. Does it even have to have a theme? It can not have a "theme" but still have elements of all those things in the room.
TTC: 1/2014
BFP: 9/24
EDD: 6/8/2015
Sorry for the poor man's siggy...ticker won't load regardless of how many tips I read.
@mj8215 May one theme for the nursery, and then when it's time to go to a toddler bed, you can change it, and then again for a big-boy bed? That's more or less what we did with DS. We let him choose his own, but you could just let him choose from several versions of the same theme. If you do this, I highly recommend wall stickers. They are cheap enough and easy to change without having to re-paint. FWIW I feel like the sports thing should wait until the kid can actually play ports...may it's just me.
@mj8215 my H kind of said the same but I wasnt taking him seriously(I don't most of the time, now I feel bad!)
I'm planning on buying Toys, the basic theme of my nursery is quite old fashioned and dreamy however since my husband really does want it more boyish I'm buying plush toys, so I have this little corner where il have a my "first sports bag" my first tool box" and a few dinosaurs and that will be near my hammock and baby changing spot. It won't take away from the whole look of the nursery, itl make him happy and add enough "boy themes" and he can always play with the plush toys!
They also get my weight off by a lot. I weigh myself on the Wii Fit, naked, and it can change within the same day to 4-5 pounds more at the doctor. I don't understand it, but I trust the nude reading more.

My doctor's office scale is 3 lbs lighter than mine at home. So according to them, I haven't gained a pound haha, and I'm totally okay with that!
I told my boss about my pregnancy today. I was so nervous, but it ended up being anticlimactic. He said he already suspected because of all my doctor appointments. He's really happy for us. I tried to talk about coverage while I'm gone, and he just waved me off and said we'll figure that out later.
i don't know if anyone was interested in my healthcare saga. Today was the boiling point apparently. We scheduled an annual exam since they refused to see me for the pregnancy and after get in (weighed, Bp taken,etc.) and the nurse asked my last period and I told her, she left the room. They had another lady come in and say the doctor couldn't see me even for an annual exam because I was pregnant. I went out in tears, DH was with me and made us go back ina md talk to the insurance lady. They went back and forth for 20 minutes (which is a long time). We ended up having to switch insurance at a very substantial financial increase to us since the current insurance has no other options. The office was nice enough to get me in tomorrow but now my DH can't even be there because of work. I am relieved the whole thing is over but I can't begin to say what a terrible experience this has been. The bitch of it al is they are seeing me tomorrow on my old insurance since the new one won't kick in until march but they refuse to see me on it today. It's a racket
Oh and on the way home from the OBs when I was in tears we witnessed a bank robbery suspect get arrested. It was like something out of Cops! Guns drawn and at least 8 police vehicles. We pulled into the parking lot across from it and I was worried about stray bullets. we didn't realize who they had pulled over at the time but we knew it was bad.

I wavered between fishies and dinosaurs, and we ended up with going with this. And eventually little canvas pictures of octopus and fish and turtles. Babies r us has themed lamps too.n
@dcwtada I'm sorry that this has been such an ordeal for you! And it seems completely unfair that they won't see you today but will see you tomorrow under the same insurance. It's like they needed to make things difficult on purpose. I'm glad that you will at least have a doctor that is close by for the rest of the pregnancy but sorry that you've had to go through so much just to establish care.

I just can't believe this is real. It really shouldn't ever happen. There is absolutely no excuse. I would be so full of hatred for that office, props to you for forcing them to figure it out though. I am glad everything worked out.
@mj8215 you might be able to find dinosaurs playing sports. DH really wanted a sports theme and we settled on a cute set that had puppies and different sports balls. He still loves his wall stickers but has upgraded to a paw patrol comforter and Thomas sheets.
I will keep you guys updated. It has been a nightmare - I can't eat or sleep well thinking something is wrong because I haven't had care. DH is not very sympathetic - helpful but not sympathetic. I haven't felt the baby in a couple days and my mind has run away from me.
@Dcwtada What a nightmare! Hopefully baby is doing just fine and you will be able to get some peace after tomorrow. Please keep us updated. You'll be in my thoughts!

@Dcwtada I'm so sorry you had to go through all this. Seriously mad for you at the physicians, the insurance, all of it. I hope things take a turn for the better from here on out.
Thanks everyone so much for the feedback and great suggestions! @dancegurl1118, @chiquita928, @munchkinsmama, Will try to come up with a compromise. @CarsonsMommy your nursery is lovely! @BusyZee I'm definitely showing husband the "first sportsbag" - I think he might be really into it!
@Twinkiedoll yass girl yass! I was so excited to hear the news today.
@Dcwtada I am so sorry you continue to deal with this. I was really hoping your annual exam plan would work. I don't know a lot about the American health care system but it shocks and saddens me that something as simple as obtaining prenatal care can be such a stressful and impossible situation.
@Dcwtada I'm so, so sorry you're going through this! That's absolutely unacceptable behavior from the office, but I'm so glad they got it worked out to where you can receive care! Please keep us updated on LO and how you're doing because that can't have been easy to deal with. FX for a smooth appointment today!
Thank you everyone. My appt. is at 1:30 cst, this waiting around is killing me ugh. DH is going to try to make it but it's not looking so good, feeing anxious and bummed.

I hope all goes okay today girl and you can finally have some peace of mind!
Everything was perfect, measuring right at 19 weeks or even bigger. Heard the heartbeat (150) and got all my blood work and ultrasound orders, next week sometime - I need to call and schedule them.
My doctor yelled at at me for waiting 19 weeks so I know for a fact they didn't pass any of my messages on to her that I had requested when we were going through the insurance problems. The billing lady has a god complex or something. I didn't want to get into it with the doctor over the insurance but she seemed miffed that I had the problems.
@Dcwtada So glad to hear everything went well! Hopefully the doctor will be able to act on the situation now that she knows a little bit about what happened. You should never have had to deal with any of that!
