Re: FTM Week of 8/22
Rave: We leave Saturday morning to drive up to Massachusetts for the week! Super excited to hang by the pool and make a couple of day trips (one to Boston and one to the Yankee Candle flagship which is one of my favorite places ever). Rave #2 - DH decided he wants to do a cabin weekend this fall so he booked a cute little cabin in one of our favorite mountain towns about 45 minutes away.
Oh yikes, neither? 100 years in the past would have been during WW1 so that's a no and I don't have a lot of optimism for the future, unfortunately. If I had to pick I'd say the future just to see in what ways the world has progressed and if we were able to overcome any of our societal differences.
Rave #1: As I mentioned in my Ticker Change...new landscaping outside of our house that literally makes it look like a new house.
Rave #2: generally feeling like a million bucks and hoping to get back into my exercise routine today.
Rant #1: Hormones. That is all.
20 weeks 4 days
Just our AS last week. It was so amazing getting to see baby again, and see how much he has grown! Plus also finding out we are having a little boy was the best part!
Rant: Pregnant symptoms - all the snot and difficulty sleeping.
Rave: My aunt and grandma are in town visiting so excited to go visit with them. Also, they want to take me baby shopping since they won't be around for the baby shower (they live out of the country) this weekend, so yay to baby items!
I'm going to have to say past. I love learning about the World Wars, so getting to go back in time when one of them was happening would be neat. With the prerequisite, that I wasn't in the middle of the action... I'd just like to experience it from the sidelines, out of danger, please.
Damn that's hard. I would say past:) I love clothing of the past and would love to see history in action! Maybe meet some historical figures and see what kind of people they truly are.
@gusgus14 Enjoy your vacation!
@jaclyn0405 ugh UTIs are the worst!
@darkrose88 have fun baby shopping! And thanks for asking the question about pumps, helpful to know that's something to start looking into
@madcouplewithabox Just me and DH in for delivery, but I'm ok with both sets of parents coming in a little while after
@sjb2215 my hospital requires that you be at least 32 weeks to take their labor and delivery class.
@darkrose88 check with your insurance, every place is different! I'm not able to pick mine up until 3 weeks before my due date or 6 weeks after.
@madcouplewithabox with DD, it was just DH and I in the room, and we plan to keep it that way this time as well. I really liked how it was just the two of us (plus doctors and nurses)- It made us feel like we were more of a team. We didn't allow visitors until after we had been moved into a postpartum room about 3 hours after she was born.
@schaze @madcouplewithabox @crizz13 Thanks for the feedback ladies! I've decided to try and order it now. If my insurance approves it this early, it is one less thing on my to do list!
I use Hypnobabies! http://www.hypnobabies-store.com/link.cgi?affiliateID=472

How far along are you?
21+2!
Any appointments this week/last? How did it go?
We had our A/S last Monday and it was fantastic! I was worried bc I lost about 10lbs in the first tri and have only put about 1-3 lbs back on depending on the day, but the little one was measuring a little bit ahead of expected (I was worried that bc I haven't been able to eat much that he was stunted or something)
If you know, what is baby's sex? Have you felt baby move yet?
We've known he's a boy since Feb (we did IVF in Jan and our FET was in April) and I feel him move ALL THE TIME, or I feel him have hiccups or something, but he's a squirmer based on our last ultrasound lol
Rants/Raves?
Finally after the A/S I feel like I believe this is all going to happen and be ok. Seeing that he has all his limbs and a brain and was moving and everything looked good lifted a huge weight off my shoulders. I'm finally able to think about registering and researching things like car seats and strollers without the nagging voice in my head telling me that I'm getting ahead of myself and its too early.

GTKY: Would you rather visit the world 100 years into the past or 100 years into the future? Hmmmm....I'm gonna go future. I'd like to see if everyones (my own included) pessimism about where this crazy world is headed is accurate lol. But for real, I'd like to see where progress has taken us and if flying cars will ever actually be a thing!
Together Let Us Seek the Heights
We're planning only hubby and me in the delivery room. My sister in law has allowed a whole family reunion in her deliveries*, so hubby's family has come to expect the entire circus will be allowed in there. I told them no before I even got pregnant, but they don't think I mean it. I've told hubby it's his family, it's his job to deal with it. I also plan on telling every nurse in sight not to let anyone in but him. My own mother is a fainter, so she doesn't want to be in there.
*Our hospital only allows I think 4 people at a time, but lets you rotate people in and out.... when SIL had her youngest she had her mother and father, her husband, her in laws, her brother and sister in law, hubby and his sister (who were both single then) all rotating in and out during her labor! NO NO NO NO NO.
