August Randoms

in March 2025 Babies
Might as well move to a new month! My random is: I feel like I might be turning a corner.  The nausea seems to be losing its intensity (still tired as hell), so I’m eating full meals today!  I had fried potatoes, onions and sausage for breakfast, and I’m trying my hand at arroz con leche for lunch. This is definitely the hormones’ fault; I am NOT a cook. 😂 so what’s happening with you all?

    Nausea comes and go mainly if I get to warm or eat too much. However the exhaustion! Go out and doing anything and it’s home to take a nap or I’ll fall asleep sitting up!

    Did I mention that after both cooking attempts it was nap time?

    @fininevermore arroz con leche sounds SO good! 

    I’m having more cramping and spotting than I remember with my first (granted that was 6 years ago…) so I’m anxiously awaiting my first appointment on the 14th.

    August is one of my fav months because DD and DH both have birthdays! I went way overboard with a big Gabby’s Dollhouse themed pool party yesterday but everyone had a really good time and we’re looking forward to lots of lounging today

    My friend is getting induced tonight!  And I'm holding her 8yo until she gets out of the hospital, but... my son's dentist appt is tomorrow morning. So I have to hope that DS will be fine in the back alone while I stay out front with his BFF.  I'd leave the other boy in the waiting room, but he tends to be something of a ticking time bomb.  He has a moderate case of ADHD, and I honestly don't trust him to be alone.  Wish me luck!

    I don't blame you! My 9 year old son has pretty severe ADHD and I would never leave him alone in a waiting room... just asking for chaos! I've sent my son back to the dentist on his own a couple times and he actually does better without me back there - not sure why.

    So they asked me to drop him off at the hospital to meet the baby, so I did that on the way to the dentist. Everybody wins!

    Does anyone else have INTENSE dry mouth? Like it’s so much that my throat starts getting sore/hoarse. I am drinking water constantly and can not make it stop. Any ideas?

    congrats on the baby boy!!! I got my sneak peek result back as well! It said girl but I’m going to wait until the NIPT to believe it 🙈 we’ve decided we’re going to find out the gender but not tell our friends and family!

    If it makes you feel better I think the false results are usually boy results since it can be contaminated with male DNA. But if no male DNA was found its likely accurate!! Congrats on your little girl!!

    I can’t believe our group already has known genders! It seems so early! Congrats to you both. That’s so exciting you can start planning 🥰

    My son’s birthday is in a couple of weeks and we’ve decided to go to the mountains for his birthday. We try to do experiences. So looking forward to some cooler weather!

    Did my NIPT bloodwork on Tuesday, got a text last night (Wednesday) that the lab received it. Now just anxiously waiting the results! It is soooo hard to wait patiently!

    Which company did you go through for yours? Mine is through Unity. My friend did hers a few months back with them and they came back within 5 days so I'm hoping I am in the same boat!!

    NIPT booked for September 3rd (our wedding ani and the first day of school here in Canada) and I’m literally SOOOOO excited and eager, I’m hoping all is well. This time around I’m less eager to find the sex (we already have our girl, I feel I was destined to be a girl mom in some capacity!) so we just want happy and healthy :)

    we told DD, it’s a tad early but we felt everyone around her knows and she is sensing some thing is amiss and acting up a bit (my sensitive 4 year old!). We had the baby bring her a package to the front door and we wrong the doorbell, it was a “big sis” sweater and two books about big sisters waiting for their baby sibling! She is so excited and has so many questions, she keeps singing to my belly 😭

    We are in Montreal and announced to my in-laws and we announced to my parents and siblings last week. Everyone is so excited and this baby will be so loved!!

    @cortneylynnn it’s a LabCorp test apparently, called MaterniT 21 Plus. And I got the results! All normal, and another boy! Which is kinda funny, as my angel baby was a boy too.

    @fininevermore congrats on a boy!! 

    I got my NIPT back yesterday - all low risk. And nuchal scan today looked great! I am trying to stay team green, but now that the info is available it’s so hard not to look!

    Got my results back this morning!! A day earlier than I was expecting! All low risk and confirmed baby girl! 

    I was going to make a separate post but I’ll just ask here since August is almost over. I need advice! My best friend (of 20+ years. Crazy) is about to have her third boy in the next week or so. She loves her boys more than life but she was definitely hoping for a girl. We’ve decided to keep the gender a secret and won’t be telling friends/family we know. This has been the plan but I always figured I’d tell her anyways. But now I feel like it may be better to wait until later. I feel like she may be sad about not having a daughter and I don’t want postpartum hormones making it worse for her. Am I over thinking this? What would you do?

    @paigemm23 congrats on a girl!! I’d probably just wait until she’s had her little boy. It’s hard to be sad with a baby in your arms. 

    I lasted 36 hours before I looked 😂 We’re having a second boy!

    @paigemm23 congratulations on baby girl! How exciting! 
    RE: your bestie: it all depends on her personality, but i would lean toward telling her now. As someone who has always wanted a girl (or girls), I would love the time to mourn “what could have been” prior to the birth of a third boy, so when he is born - I could be over the moon in love vs. faced with another reminder of what I wanted. But I’m also a therapist and a big proponent of “coping ahead of time” and allowing myself the time to grieve what I hoped would be. And as much as we all say “as long as they are healthy!” And really mean it, grieving gender is a real phenomenon we are almost shamed into not feeling. 

    I didn’t have that time to process COVID when DD was born March 2020, and I found that EXTREMELY challenging to be grappling with the adjustment of a newborn 2 weeks after the world shut down and all of our plans literally turned upside down. It really cast a dark shadow on what was supposed be to be a joyous time, Obviously your situation with your friend is much less dramatic/impactful, but I would personally appreciate the time to process. 

    @laj0217 congratulations on baby boy!! How wonderful! I would not be able to not look either, LMAO! But finding out this way is also a big surprise, people often don’t give that any credit 💙
