Randoms: Week of 3/2-3/8

Re: Randoms: Week of 3/2-3/8

  • I had a dream last night that I found out that baby was a girl. Interesting because H and I are still fighting about team green. Anyone did a mixed team green when only one of you found out before birth??? Anyways, in the dream the OB gave me an envelope and I looked at it against the light and saw the capital "F" of the word "Female". It was so bizarre, pregnancy dreams are so weird!

  • I'm late to this conversation but would like to state my allegiance to Team No Real Pants. My youngest are 7 y/o twins so I don't have any of my old maternity pants around. I've been all leggings and scrub pants (I'm a nurse) since the day my of my BFP. I tried one pair of jeans on a few days ago and couldn't deal with the squeeze. I saw a few of you vouch for Target...any other favorite places to get maternity pants?
  • @smalltown_squirrel If you have a Motherhood Maternity near you they have some good stuff!
  • The city of Seattle never ceases to amaze me with the dumb sh*t they do.  The city is buying a shitty hotel and housing corona patients there.  It’s as if homelessness and drug addiction shouldn’t be their top priority.  Wasting city funds to buy a run down hotel that will only house 80 people 🤦🏻‍♀️
  • @babyodo ugh what a nightmare. I’m sorry you are dealing with all that.
  • @babyodo sorry that happened. My H was in a similar situation and even though the other person said that of course they'd tell the truth...they didn't. So it ended up being a 50/50 fault😡 
  • @anitamargarita_82 how bizarre, and awful for the people who will be forced to live there during a long quarantine.

  • Thread idea. Let me know what you guys think. On my last BMB there was a monthly ask a STM+ thread. I thought it was super helpful and used a lot of the advice during my pregnancy as well as once my son was born. What do you think?
  • @dedioni I think we had one too! It's also helpful for those expecting #2 as they can ask those who are expecting #3 (or more!)
  • FML I am getting sick. I have a headache and overall feel meh. Also hard to know what is sickness and what is pregnancy. Nausea is worst again today and I literally just want to destroy a quesadilla but my guts says I should really have some soup...let's thank MH for spreading his stupid cold.
  • @dedioni, I like that idea!

  • @dedioni I like that idea too. 

    I forgot today was DH birthday. Thankfully Facebook had my back and reminded me or I may have completely forgot. I managed to order a Bundt cake from the place down the street and some balloons so it looks like I cared somewhat. 
  • Is anyone having NIPT done?
  • @coldbrew yes I will have NIPT done.  I had it done last time as well.  I’m AMA and based on some issues with my last pregnancy NIPT is a must.  
  • @coldbrew me, too, and for the same reasons that @anitamargarita_82 listed.
    Me: 37 / DH: 41
    Due with baby #2: Feb 2022


  • @anitamargarita_82 and @babyodo when do they do it? I didn’t have it in the past but will this time since DD2 has Down syndrome. 
  • @coldbrew I believe between 10-12 weeks.  Mine was at 10 weeks last time. 
  • @coldbrew you can have it done anytime after 10 weeks. I'm another that's doing it because I'm AMA, but really I'm just an impatient planner and I want to know the sex as early as possible. 
  • @coldbrew I think I was one of the only ones on my last BMB that didn't get it. It wasn't even offered to me. This time it was offered but I didn't want to have to call my insurance and figure out what the cost would be (nor would I want to just do it and pay whatever) so I'm not doing it. Basically out of pure laziness/cheapness. 😂

  • @coldbrew my doctor office called for pre-approval, but insurance won’t cover it. I’m debating whether I want to pay the $200 out of pocket or not.

  • @dedioni check your inbox.  Someone from TTGP sent you a nasty message and posted about it on their board. 
  • @anitamargarita_82 yeah definitely was not us. We don’t support that crap and I know I and others have reported the poster. If we ever do find out who it is you can rest assured they would not be welcome in the community at all.

    I would certainly hope not.  Nobody deserves that.   
  • @anitamargarita_82 of course not!  We all told her off as soon as she posted. Every pregnancy is a gift and never should be viewed as anything but that. The world is crappy enough as it is we don’t need to spread hate like that. While many of us did not see eye to eye yesterday it was out of concern for those who have had a loss so we would never wish one upon someone. Especially someone who may have had their own losses. Honestly I hope and wish we don’t have to see any of you join us before you ready to add to your families and for no reason other than that.

  • Holy crap the internet blew up since my lunch break! I’m only being able to piece together what happened since the comment on TTGP was removed but dang that whole thing escalated out of control. 
  • @morethanamama, hope everything looks great at your US today!

  • @morethanamama can’t wait to hear about your ultrasound!  How exciting!  
  • @morethanamama Yeah agreed we need to get back to some normalcy here and move past all that. Hope your US is amazing! 

    It’s pajama day at work for me today and I’m so happy about that! 
  • Wow, I spend one 12 hour shift at work barely able to pee or eat, and missed out on the drama. @dedioni so sorry that happened to you! 

    Count me in the No Real Pants club! I pretty much wear yoga pants all day everyday. I work In scrubs, but I’m getting ready to have to use my “fat” scrubs (you guys all have fat clothes and skinny clothes, right?).
  • I didn’t do the nipt with DD but I’m going to this time. I haven’t called the insurance to find out if it’s covered but if it isn’t then The doctor mentioned it would cost $250 out of pocket. 

    @morethanamama how your ultrasound goes great! Can’t wait to hear about it. 
  • My 3yo keeps discovering old Mickey movies thanks to Disney+. I haaaate Mickey Mouse clubhouse so I’ve been fine with it but he’s been on a “Mickey Swords” (The Three Musketeers Mickey movie) for weeks and Im over it. It is not Disney’s best work 😅 I wish he’d give the muppets a chance but he’s not into them at all.

  • Thanks ladies! H and I are taking the afternoon off after the appointment,  so we will enjoy around 3 hours sans toddler. Yippie!
    I work from home and lately I just put on a nice blouse and then stay in PJ pants the rest of the day unless I have to go somewhere lol
  • Anyone else having a hard time brushing their teeth? It has become increasingly gag inducing over the last week or two for me. This time I was salivating like crazy, dizzy, and hiccuping. Its a miracle I didn’t throw up. I don’t even want to think about using my waterpik.

  • @deaddahliah same here. I usually power through the first minute and take a break for a bit and brush for the second minute. It’s a lot of I’m just going to power through. It was the same with DD. I canceled my 6 month dental Cleaning next week and I’m going to wait for the nausea to subside before going again. Hope it gets easier for you!
  • @deaddahliah yep. Happened with my last pregnancy too. I'm doing the best I can though because I ended up with 7 cavities in the year after I had my daughter. They said it was probably a combination of things though, including vomiting so much.
  • @deaddahliah yes I almost always vomit after. 

    @mkp0903 I need to get some fat scrubs. I can barely stand the band pressing on my belly already.
