We just got a crib and put it up in our bedroom! I can't stop looking at it and thinking there's gonna be two little cuties sleeping in there (hopefully). also, we only paid 10 $ for it and the guy even dropped it off at our house! So lucky! Yey for second hand deals!
That's awesome @honey_suckle! SIL scored us a free second crib so we're set on those too at least, ha. Good luck @sheknows6! Hoping everything goes well!
I had that feeling the day of mine @sheknows6. It's painful waiting!! Good luck.
That crappy coworker I've complained about on here got fired this morning. 830 on a Monday. Ouch. She did suck. Fully justified firing her but brutal timing. And they fired a new lawyer. So 5 lawyers and I'm the only legal assistant. Great....i guess I shouldn't complain though, I still have a job. I'll be mobile bumping now, too afraid to log in on my computer just now Haha!!

Thanks guys. I'm not surprised, but i was really hoping with how rough this pregnancy has been i wouldn't have to deal with that as well. At least i know how to handle it. Now it's all a matter how bad it is this time and if i'll end up on insulin again or not.

@thatbaintforbetty ugh. @mermaidca at least everyone will know that you’re the only one pulling all the weight, unlike last week where they assumed coworker was doing some.
@sheknows6 I just got back from my anatomy scan! I have a very active little one with looong legs. Everything looked good and measured right on time. I’m only concerned about my amniotic fluid levels since they were super low with DD. I’ll just ask my OB at my appt next week. Oh and the ultrasound tech texted my mom the gender so we won’t know till thanksgiving! I’m so bad at waiting! Lol
I'm in an absolutely terrible mood today. For no particular reason. Can it just be winter break already? Because the end of the semester is just killing me.
Aweful migraine today because I didn't sleep well last night. DD is in our room while hers is being painted and she makes a lot of noises in her sleep. Between snoring DH, DDs noises, and a dog that chases things in his sleep, I think I'm better off in the couch tonight!
Is anybody else struggling to focus at work and get tasks finished? I feel like I can't focus on anything for more than a few minutes and I am in general distracted and just don't get any meaning out of it lately. Just wondering if it's me or if it's the pregnancy.
@tmblickley I hope your migraine subsides. They're so terribke. @gollygeeitsamy I am. And it's awful because I know I need to get some things done 100% before mat leave but I'm just so reticent to even start them. UGH.
I just realized that this is my last week this pregnancy without at least one doctors appointment. I'm thankful for all the extra monitoring and knowing that the team cares about keeping my little guys safe and healthy but damn I'm already tired of appointments.
@blueberrymomma that's awesome! Ours was sleepy and stubborn at the nuchal scan -The tech kept trying to wake her by jiggling the wand on my stomach and she literally waved her arm at it and went back to sleep LOL - Just like her mama So I'm hoping she's awake this go round.
Thank goodness it's only a half hour until I leave because I didn't sleep worth a damn last night and I'm trying to not pass out at my desk.
@sheknows6, ours was the same way, they couldn't get a look at the nuchal fold because he was all tucked up and refused to change positions, haha.
I'm excited for my anatomy scan next Monday, even though we know the sex already. Also excited for Thanksgiving, although dreading the amount of work its been already prepping for it.
DH left this morning for Japan. He will only be gone for three weeks but being pregnant with an 18 month old and working full time makes me want to cry. Also on average I remember to take my prenatal vitamins five times a week. Mom of the year.
I'm jealous of everyone having their a/s this week. I'm over 18 weeks but my doctor really follows the rules (which I do love but still) so I won't have mine until 12/7. I know it's a boy and a few weeks ago everything looked ok but I am impatient.
I know i asked this question before but now that I know im having a boy.. I want to re ask because I dont really remember the verdict.. lol.
My sister always wanted to name her boy Colton but then got pregnant with a boy and no longer liked it. She lost her boy at 20 weeks and named him Caleb.
We are having a boy and LOVE the name Cole. Is Cole and Colton similar names?? Is it bad to name him Cole? I know she didnt like the name anymore but I dont want to rub it on further that she lost her son and I'm giving birth to a boy the same time she was supposed to.
@mrstmoose me too! Mine is in two weeks at 20+6 which just seems kinda cruel... Hoping that between thanksgiving and vacation the following week time fly by
@elmich3 I feel that Cole is removed enough that it shouldn't be an issue. Personally, I wouldn't associate the two names but I don't know how your sister would. Just casually mention the name you picked and see her reaction, gauge it from there.
@elmich3 My aunt and uncle lost their daughter Elinor at birth; I named my daughter Elinor as well. I did give them a private heads up on our choice, but I also let them know that I hoped my Ellie would have a special connection with them. (Also, I say my Elinor is named for my great-aunt AND my cousin.)
While the timing in our situation is vastly different from your situation, you might find that you like the name to echo Caleb’s, and that your sister likes that Caleb isn’t forgotten.
@mrstmoose with my daughter I had my anatomy scan at 18 weeks and I wish I would have waited closer to 20 weeks, you can see everything just a tiny bit better. I won't have mine until 21+1 because I wanted to wait until DH gets home from Japan.
@kbirchtree those are fantastic ideas. My son played "Sleeping Beauty" a while where I got to lay on his bed and he got to jump around and sword fight till he came over and asked me for a smooch. Best game.
Everything went well during the scan, even though she was face down in my pelvis the whole time and wouldn't budge! Thankfully they got almost all the pictures they needed regardless, she's healthy, sleepy and stubborn lol Since I have Graves disease, the MFM wants me to come back every 6-8 weeks for growth checks and I am not mad about it!
Ok I need to be so much more productive today. I have 3 tasks to finish this week but NOOO motivation. I just want to shop and plan Christmas things lol

I bought a Christmas tree yesterday. DH is really on this train of me trying to make good memories with our kids to try and make me hate the holiday less. Well he opened the box and put it together (why I don’t know), then put It aside in our bedroom and now DD is whining about the fact that it’s not out and displaying her new unicorn ornament.
Dude, making me listen to a super whiny toddler while sick and pregnant is not how you win this war.
Also I asked him when and where we would put it while in the store and he told me we would worry about it after Thanksgiving...
