Team Green/Pink/Blue: finding out May 1!!!! 1 more week to go.
Interesting Baby Fact / Baby is size of ...: baby is the size of a paper plane
Upcoming Appointments: May 1st
How are you feeling?: I have been good. Sleeping is getting harder as I am a belly sleeper and I can't do that anymore so I find it takes forever to get comfortable.
Rants/Raves: I am hoping to start posting more ... or at least once a day!. Also is it May 1st yet I just want to know if we are team blue or pink!!!
Questions: nope
GTKY: What is your favorite scent? Can be a perfume or just a random smell!! anything citrus!!
@sparkles5275 I'm drooling over the patterns on that site! I've never heard of that one, but I love Spoonflower. You can get most of the designs in fabric, a couple different types of wallpaper, and even wrapping paper. I'll probably go the peel and stick or removable route eventually, but I don't know if it's worth putting all the effort in right now.
Update on my checkin - I am meeting with my boss today at 330 to finally share our news!! I am both nervous and excited as I can't wait to finally stop hiding it!! Would appreciate all the prayers & good vibes that this goes well
@duewithpu2 I was curious and measured out the biggest wall in the nursery. We'd need 13 sheets, so it would cost $520. Yikes! Might have to do a smaller wall/one with windows if we go down that route.
@kiddiesandkitties I would have never thought to put it on the stair rises. Looks good and I'm sure it was easier than dealing with getting paint everywhere!
@sparkles5275 ouch! The wall I want to do is small with a window, so I might still price check it. I’d be so worried about pattern matching with the window tho. Ugh the struggle!
Update: Told my boss, actually went really well!! So happy to have to not be hiding anymore. After that meeting I came out and told the 2 women that work for me, they were like "yeah, we know, we've known for like a month!" apparently I am NOT very good at hiding it at all! But at least its officially out now!
Late replies. Sorry I didn’t get everyone. It’s so hard to
get caught up when you’re behind!
@MsBeachNJ I’m so glad you’re finally out! That must be such
a relief.
@nomangos23 Have a blast on your Babymoon. We ended up not
planning one and I’m so pissed about it! Jealousy is running high for everyone
who’s going on one.
@ternsetc 20 weeks sounds so surreal but it’s just around
the corner for a lot of us!
@lillywonderland I HATE working on SOPs. Writing papers in
general is the absolute worst! I am a numbers person, not a wordy person. Give
me all the math equations in the world and I’ll be happy. Give me a paper to
write and it’s like someone is torturing me! Unfortunately most of my other
office bound projects are wrapping up and I think I’ll probably be working on
SOPs for the rest of the summer. I might go crazy.
@diner04 Lol at your MIL. It’s not her baby, it’s yours! She
doesn’t get to make that decision. Sounds like something my MIL would say. Is
it a rule that all MIL are crazy? Lol
@sparkles5275 I think my belly popped with week too. Yay for
not looking fat anymore lol.
@duewithpu2 I sometimes forget that I’m pregnant too. I feel
pretty good most of the day. Even my bump isn’t that big. Yesterday it started
to sink in more that “oh shit, this is really happening.”
@kiddiesandkitties I’m so sorry you’re having such a rough
time. I hope you find some calm soon. I did not end up canceling my appointment,
so I’ll be going in tomorrow. It’s not an ultrasound of LO tho, it’s instead of
some spots on my boob.
@themadcamel Everyone already gave you really good advice
but I’m just going to add… Take the name! She can’t claim a name before she’s
even pregnant. That’s not how this works!
@monkeysmom80 I got super swollen too when I was working out
in the yard last weekend. I got kinda worried about not being able to take off
my ring. But it went down and hasn’t come back. Yay for passing the 3 hour
glucose test!
