@lindsayleigh1989 I figured you had some sort of rule like that. I remember my nephew trying to "kick the habit" but by sister kept caving in. I remember once at 3yo, he finally did it. He said "no more binky!" And threw them all in the garbage. He was all tough but teary and so cute.
Confession: Sometimes I feel like if I knew the sex of my baby that I might be able to connect with this baby more and feel better about what to expect after labor. But I also want something to look forward to at the end of labor, and we already bought everything we need in gender neutral colors. I’m mostly just bitter though, because none of the hospitals in Cape Breton will report the sex of the baby anyway, so it’s not like I really have a choice. I could find out at 36 weeks when I move to Michigan to be with family during the last month of pregnancy, but at that point there’s not much reason to spoil the surprise after making it that far without knowing.
Confession, I am using the money that my MIL left here at the house while I'm housesitting. I'm being a good DIL and visiting Grandma everyday so I caved in and used some of the money they left for me to get gas and buy breakfast...those med bills are expensive, yo!
@emsnedds you mean they won't tell you what you're having until 36 weeks??
@zande2016 no shame. I've had those days. @babybakie lol, I've found myself doing that too occasionally! @wildtot worth some peace and quiet while it lasts
@kissableviv How long are you house sitting for? Sounds like you’re being nice and helping them out while they’re gone. Why not spend the money they left for you? And no lol. Maybe I could have explained that better. The hospitals in Cape Breton (Nova Scotia) will not report the sex of any baby. They don’t even scan down there if they don’t need to. But I’m moving to Michigan when I’m 36 weeks and I’m sure one of the hospitals near my family’s house would be willing to tell me the sex of the baby. But there’s really no point after waiting that long.
Confession: I just ate a turkey and salami sandwich..from a deli...without heating anything up
TTC History:
Me: 36 H: 40 Married 2015. Together since 2010. TTC: Sept 2016-Oct 2017 BFP Oct 2017. DD born July 2018. TTC: March 2020. BFP March 2020 Due date was Nov 2020 DS born Sept 2020. DS passed away Nov 2020 due to prematurity and birth trauma. TTC: March 2021 IUI #1 Nov 2021, BFN IUI #2 Dec 2021 BFP. MC Jan 2022 IUI #3 Aug 2022 BFN IUI #4 Sept 2022 BFN AMH test came back at .081. Was going to move on to IVF with DE, but have decided not to. Will be leaving it up to the universe now.
I told my husband that icing my sore groin ligaments wouldn’t help, but he insisted that I at least try it since I’m not able to take ibuprofen. I am now eating my words as I sit on a bag of ice for the second night in a row and my pain is now manageable.
@lindsayleigh1989 I know we put pressure on ourselves with these habits but f it let them be little. If it gives you a break and her comfort let her at it. I hope she feels better soon. @kissableviv don’t feel bad for taking the money you’s are expecting and that’s what it’s there for. @emsnedds I love that there is a Caper on here. I’m living out west ( originally from southern ontario) and have tons of friends from Cape Breton. I need to make a trip out there. We were planning on it this summer but clearly not going to happen with baby on the way. Also I can’t beleive they won’t tell you the sex, that’s crazy! I think there must be a UC Baby in Halifax that you can lay for just the gender reveal if you do want to do one. The prices aren’t awful and they sometime have specials.
@wildtot Between my 3 personal emails I’m at over 23,000
@runsomewhere I love the Duggars and am also jealous of the sisters. I have one sister and we’re not super close. It makes me want to have lots of babies, but then I remember I have no help. Lol.
+1 for once a month bra washes! I’m sitting here think about it like whyyyyyy? It’s weird. Haha.
My confession is my doctor told me I can stop taking the stool softener I’m on because it’s not helping. At all. But, I’m afraid that if I stop taking it I’ll never poop again.
@Jessicajorden That’s awesome! I just moved to Cape Breton last summer and it’s beautiful here. I’m just struggling with the change in healthcare lol! There actually is a UC Baby close by, but I’m kind of boycotting them out of bitterness because I don’t think it’s fair to charge $200 for a gender reveal. I wish the island would just update their rules and tell me at the 20 week ultrasound like a normal hospital would. Oh well. I’m 26 weeks and I’ll survive not knowing (:
@emsnedds yikes! There’s a special here for $49 which I think it not bad but to pay $200 That’s absolutely crazy! Yes you’ll survive and it’s super exciting at the end to have that at the end.
So today I hit a record and went to three different food places to get lunch- so that everyone was happy. Qdoba for husband. McDonald’s for child , Panera for me. At most I’ve gone to two different places but today I was more then happy to be out of the house away from DD
Haha thanks ladies. When it's all said and done I'll have been here 12 days. They offered to pay for my ticket but I paid that myself so I think it's ok to keep some of the money at least for the groceries and the driving around I did to get stuff for grandma:)
Re: FFFC 3/30
My confession... silly but... sometimes I take longer bathroom breaks just to admire my bump in the mirror.
@lindsayleigh1989 I hope she feels better. Sometimes momma needs the break more than the little. Enjoy the snuggles!
My confession is, I've sent one email today, and have billed about 25 mins total for the day....and I'm 6 hours into my workday.
my fffc is i probably wash my bras once a month.
@emsnedds you mean they won't tell you what you're having until 36 weeks??
