Re: Weekly Check In 10/25
Also, it’s funny when you tell people you aren’t revealing the baby’s name how they still drop suggestions. Lol Like what do they expect? My eyes to light up and me to say “You’re right, that’s what we’re going with now! That’s so much better than what we planned!” :P
I joked with the hubby that in response to name questions we start throwing out the cringiest and/or fandom referencing name combos possible, different ones each time.
The main worry is someone believing us and getting a blanket monogrammed “Padme Jarjar” or “Elsa Anna”
I know at the end of the day they’re just throwing in their two cents, it just gets a tad annoying when you’ve already said more than once you’re not doing a name reveal.
I have 1 younger brother. He’s manipulative, lazy, and a jerk 90% of the time so I keep my guard up around him.
It’s sad, but I just can’t trust him.
I have two amazing SILs though.
I have a younger brother and my DH is an only child. I had hoped to have a bigger family since my kids won’t really have a large extended family, but HG is making me reconsider this plan as of this moment 😑
@jenis_fan_for_life definitely haven't ordered any baby stuff at all. With DD we didn't do the nursery until about 6 weeks before she was born. This one will be lucky if it's 6 minutes at the rate i'm going lol.

My brother lives far away but has really grown up in the last few years and we are close. He has a girlfriend who is great and i hope they have a future together. They are both coming to my house for christmas (and my parents too) and i am soooo excited!
@mogantu oh man, the mice poop visible would do me in. 🤢 We have an old house and have had our own share of critters but visible poop…yuuuuuuck
I have an older brother and younger sister. My brother and I are 2 years apart but we share a birthday. He has 3 kids who are all teenagers. I not a fan of him or his wife, but love his kids. I'm close with my sister who is almost 4 years younger. She lives 2 hours away with her man and is childless by choice. I love her but she causes me more stress than anyone else in the world!
@Panaceia Glad you had a good appointment today! I'm sorry about your knee and shoulder!
@rachelredhead So glad baby girl looked good today!
@morgantu Oh man, sorry about the mice poop scare. That would freak me out.
@jenis_fan_for_life I'm sorry things are rough. I haven't been sick for a bit and it still seems so hard to get on top of everything. Try to give yourself some grace. Maybe a meal service would help for a while? There is a company here (in Utah) that delivers 10 freezer crockpot/instant pot meals to your door each month. That has been a lifesaver for me! Also, nope, I haven't order or bought anything for this baby yet. I feel super behind.
@faithmovesmountains I hate telling or not telling people our name ideas for the same reason. Chances are pretty certain I've heard of the name you are going to suggest and it isn't going to be some lightbulb moment for me.
EDD / Weeks + Days: 21+4/ March 3
I’m not sure you said what’s going on with your oldest or if I missed it, but regardless I’m so sorry things are rough right now and I hope adjusting will become easy. Thinking of your family. Hang in there.
@night_nurse you are still waiting?! That’s crazy. I don’t think anyone would think anything if it if you called to follow up.
@gembud you’re doing a great job. There is no right or wrong way to navigate this and we can only do what we think is best as mother.
@night_nurse I caved and got maternity scrubs a few weeks ago. I typically wear OR scrubs but those are not for pregnant bellies at all! Also have been getting Braxton Hicks for a few days now too and it’s certainly making me nervous. Seems to happen at work mostly, almost left early last night because of it.
I am the oldest of 5, one brother and three sisters. I’m extremely close with one sister and the other two don’t make the best decisions so I love them from a distance. My brother and I had an ok relationship until he became an antivaxer extremist and that doesn’t go over well with me being a nurse in the ICU spending the last 2 years putting people in body bags. He sends me hate texts regularly 😑. So the holidays should be fun.
I have 3 siblings. Two sisters and a brother. I’m the youngest of 4. My oldest sister is 18 years older than me, my brother is 17 years older than me and my sister is 4.5 years older than me. My mom kind of had us in pairs lol! Since my oldest sister is a lot older than I am, I have nephews and a niece who are closer in age to me than she is. 😂
@jenis_fan_for_life I have called. Twice. Response both time has been that the radiologist still hasn’t read it. If I could just get a preliminary read by the OB and then wait for the official results I’d be satisfied. Trying not to obsess over it too much.
@Nik102 I wear the hospital scrubs usually too. Getting to the point that if I wear them across the belly it cuts in too much since I have to tie them tight to stay up and below the belly feels like they’re falling off. Placed an amazon order this AM and hoping at least one set works. Not thrilled about having to wash these myself though 😂
@morgantu - oh no, I would be so sick to see mouse poop!
@gembud thinking of you and sending you strength during this time!
@Nik102 I had to google what a sugar glider was!
EDD / Weeks + Days: 20 weeks today! Due 3/16/21
@faithmovesmountains the only person I told my potential names to was my aunt, and she did NOT like them. She made some suggestions I wasn't crazy about. It was a really entertaining conversation.
