What’s on your mind?

ILs were supposed to come visit last weekend and we were going to tell them I am pregnant. They didn’t come because when they wanted to come was right at DD’s nap time and they didn’t want “beach traffic” to come any other time. Whatever. Now H will call them this week to tell them. MIL was petty about how we announced pregnancy #1 so hope she isn’t annoying about getting a phone call.

I passed my one hour GTT! The lab I went to had the lemon lime already chilled so I think it made the process a lot easier!

sassypants2010 · July 2019

My first appointment is today and I feel nervous about seeing my doctor since he said last time that my body may not tolerate pregnancy again. So it just adds to the fact that this was a huge oops that we were trying to prevent, so I am hoping all is well and my health doesn't cause issues.

ibabyloveb87 · July 2019

@celticknotfire wooo! Congrats!

@sassypants2010 good luck! Thinking of you.

babybelugaco · July 2019

Overheard my coworkers talking about how much moving sucks and I realized how much it's especially going to suck with a 2 month old! DH and I need a 2 bedroom apartment and our lease is up in May. We'll probably have to start looking for a place in February. Our management company always makes us decide a few months early if we're renewing or leaving.
So I'll be super pregnant in Chicago winter looking at apartments....that's really gonna suck!!!!

ibabyloveb87 · July 2019

@babyroma moving sucks. We’re going to be moving when I’m 30+ weeks probably. 2 months to get the nursery ready. Ekkkkkk!

The bright side is that a 2 month old won’t be able to crawl around and get into trouble? The searching part sounds BRRRRR.

doodleoodle · July 2019

@ibabyloveb87 I moved when I was about 6 months pregnant with my first. It definitely sucks but there are major perks such as you don’t have to help carry anything and you’ll probably get lots of offers to help unpack/organize.

@babyroma a positive of moving with a two month is that they will be too little to be anxious about living somewhere new.

@sassypants2010 good luck today!

brookert615 · July 2019

@celticknotfire YAY! So happy that you passed it! I failed it LOL. But I agree the chilled lime flavor isn't too bad.

celticknotfire · July 2019

@babyroma that sounds like no fun at all! Hopefully you'll have lots of help.

@brookert615 that sucks that you failed! I went to the lab at the hospital and MH went with me to pass the time and he looked around and whispered to me is everyone here pregnant. We were at the women's hospital so yeah all but 2 patients were there for GTT.

brookert615 · July 2019

@celticknotfire That is too cute about YH saying that lol! The good news is I don't have to do the 3 hour test until later on!

nhh11 · July 2019

@sassypants2010 good luck! Thinking of you!

daffodil_shoe · July 2019

@celticknotfire congrats on passing your test! It’s such a good feeling.

@sassypants2010 so how did your appointment go?

@babyroma can someone watch kiddo while you move?

Sooooo my dog chipped my tooth this morning.🤦🏼‍♀️ He’s not normally a jumper but he was in one of those silly moods. He tried jumping up to lick my face but his big pit bull block head hit my chin, knocking my teeth together. My upper front left tooth now has a small chip missing. Bright side, my dentist can get me in tomorrow morning to file it flat.

celticknotfire · July 2019

@daffodil_shoe that sucks! I have a pit mix and he can be clumsy so I've had more than a few fat lips from him. Those block heads are hard!

daffodil_shoe · July 2019

@celticknotfire mine is a mix too, with boxer (at least as far as the shelter could tell). He’s the sweetest thing, he’s just such an oaf sometimes. What is yours mixed with?

celticknotfire · July 2019

@daffodil_shoe he is a lab/pit mix

brookert615 · July 2019

@daffodil_shoe Oh no! I’m so sorry about your tooth! Glad you were able to get in at the dentist, though!

babybelugaco · July 2019

@daffodil_shoe I'm not too sure. We only have one set of local friends here so it could be iffy. Part of me really just wants to hire professional movers because I'm a wuss and hate lugging stuff up and down 2 flights of stairs Haha. When we moved into this apartment we had both of my BILs in town to help so I didnt do much of the heavy lifting then!

craftywitch · July 2019

@daffodil_shoe Eeee that's the worst about your tooth! I hope the dentist has it looking nice and new with no issues.
@babyroma Team movers! We finally decided we're too old to be paying our friends in beer to thrash our stuff up and down stairs. Best choice ever! Movers are so worth it.

sassypants2010 · July 2019

@daffodil_shoe so we are actually measuring 7 weeks now so I guess this is good bye my lovelies. I am now in the March group now.

daffodil_shoe · July 2019

@sassypants2010 oh rats. But baby looks good a least? Was your doctor concerned like you were worried he would be?

DDRRT1982 · July 2019

Wait, @sassypants2010 when are you due? Could you just stay with us? Is it likely you’ll deliver in February anyways?

sassypants2010 · July 2019

@DDRRT1982 apparently March 12th......... again, but that is confusing since I found out on June 30th.

sassypants2010 · July 2019

@daffodil_shoe he said baby looks good and we will see if any health issues arise.

Well if you were, say, 10 days past ovulation when you found out on June 30th, that would put you at about 7 1/2 weeks today. And babies can measure slightly off in ultrasounds.

jvk2012 · July 2019

@babyroma, we moved when DD was almost 1. We hired movers to pack the house and move. It was honestly the best money we have ever spent. They packed in one day while I was at work and moved us the next morning. So little disruption to our lives!

DDRRT1982 · July 2019

Ya, my last baby was due March 12 and I found out June 29th at 9 dpo, so not odd if you are 7 weeks. She was born feb 27th at 38 weeks. But, I guess you really are due in March. We’ll miss you if you leave. @sassypants2010

sassypants2010 · July 2019

@DDRRT1982 I feel like I probably should since that is two weeks into march.......again.🤦‍♀️

doodleoodle · July 2019

@sassypants2010 but maybe stay instead?

sassypants2010 · July 2019

Would you guys care? I have come to love you girls and really don't want to leave.

mandk1233 · July 2019

@sassypants2010 Of course not! Please stay.

jvk2012 · July 2019

@sassypants2010, Stay! Babies come whenever they want and once we’re all in 2nd and 3rd trimester there will probably be less discussion and importance on exactly what week and day we are.

lanie1000 · July 2019

@sassypants2010 I totally agree with @jvk2012. Once we get into later months a couple weeks won’t make a difference at all.

daffodil_shoe · July 2019

Did anyone else grow up eating Coco Wheats? It was a Sunday morning treat in our house. I was at the grocery store and saw a box and suddenly craved it so bad. And guess what? One serving gives you 50% of your daily needed folate (which is even better than folic acid). And it’s only as unhealthy as you make it with sugar you add. Yum!

ibabyloveb87 · July 2019

DS slept all night without his pacifier!!!

brookert615 · July 2019

@daffodil_shoe I love Coco Wheats! How cool!

lanie1000 · July 2019

@daffodil_shoe I’ve never heard of Coco Wheats. The only “cocos” I grew up with were the tasty (but not at all healthy) cocoa puffs, cocoa krispees and cocoa pebbles. I’ll have to search for some in the store this weekend!

daffodil_shoe · July 2019

@lanie1000 it’s a hot cereal you make on the stove, similar to the texture of grits. But they are chocolatey and you add as much or little sugar as you want.

AugustGlass · July 2019

@sassypants2010 you can totally stay! I was in the May 2014 group for my oldest and the first baby was born in March and several were born in June. The birth of these babies will definitely span more than a month!

malloryfrommn · July 2019

@daffodil_shoe I totally forgot Coco Wheats existed! My Grandma always made it for breakfast when I stayed over at her house. Ah, nostalgia!

kiwi2628 · July 2019

I think I am finally on the mend with my MS and my pneumonia! Its 1:20 and I haven't thrown up once today! Also can we discuss how clients are legit THE WORST. I have this crazy woman DEMANDING that I call her on her schedule. I'm sorry, I'm a doctor. I have my own schedule and a couple dozen other patients to adhere to today. And I can't even leave her a voicemail because her box is full. Shes a...bad person that I wanna call another name.
