Feeling pretty good after conquering the basement and the laundry's still drying... I'm so tired now so it's time to do some Hellobeeing before I fold laundry and go to bed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postathon-chat-thread-510/page/2#post-154924 Thu, 10 May 2012 20:51:32 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 154924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Alright I'm off... time to get some beauty rest in case baby girl decides to kick start the contractions in the middle of the night. Which clearly she seems to prefer nighttime for cramping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postathon-chat-thread-510/page/2#post-154734 Thu, 10 May 2012 19:44:55 +0000 mrs. wagon 154734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dude I am SO distracted by this postathon right now. Wagon Sr. is totally distracted by the Celtics game. We keep asking each other questions and the other will just be like "....what?" </p> <p>I just realized I left some lingerie soaking in the sink upstairs, and we still have to go downstairs and organize the basement in preparation for my MIL coming this weekend. And I have to wash my face. </p> <p>SO as much as this postathon has been so far, I must step away! I will be back later!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postathon-chat-thread-510/page/2#post-154722 Thu, 10 May 2012 19:42:23 +0000 obxwife 154722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well ladies, I gotta go BF my sweet baby Noah! I'll have to check in on you before I go to bed. Talk to you later! xoxo </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postathon-chat-thread-510/page/2#post-154720 Thu, 10 May 2012 19:41:57 +0000 mrs. wagon 154720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: hehe... well, I am big, and pregnant, but unfortunately also fat right now! Oh well :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postathon-chat-thread-510/page/2#post-154719 Thu, 10 May 2012 19:41:46 +0000 obxwife 154719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: It's hilarious! The dog barks and he's totally fine, train honks - fine... but husband sneezes and he freaked! I felt bad I was laughing. Hahaha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postathon-chat-thread-510/page/2#post-154713 Thu, 10 May 2012 19:39:22 +0000 mediagirl 154713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: Awww. You're pregnant! Not big and fat!! You'll look beautiful.<br /> @obxwife Omg he cries when your husband sneezes??? So sad but so funny from an outsider!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postathon-chat-thread-510/page/2#post-154711 Thu, 10 May 2012 19:38:29 +0000 mrs. wagon 154711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@obxwife: awww thanks... THANKFULLY the dress is so dark navy it's almost black, and I chose mine (we were able to choose from like a million styles from the same designer) totally based on what would be flattering, so it's a super deep V neck with nice thick straps so I can wear a regular bra. And empire waisted of course. I'll post a pic after the wedding is over :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postathon-chat-thread-510/page/2#post-154702 Thu, 10 May 2012 19:34:48 +0000 obxwife 154702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blushink: Tulle and ribbon are a definite must! Love the felt tie idea too! I can't wait to put my LO in some slacks and suspenders hahaha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postathon-chat-thread-510/page/2#post-154700 Thu, 10 May 2012 19:33:48 +0000 obxwife 154700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: I know I don't want to bring him to the reception, he cries when hubs sneezes! Haha, so loud noises are a no go, esp at 10 weeks. </p> <p>Also, you'll be a GORGEOUS bridesmaid! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postathon-chat-thread-510/page/2#post-154698 Thu, 10 May 2012 19:32:59 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 154698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@obxwife: Are you a DIY kinda gal?<br /> I suggest : Felt bow ties for the boys. Tulle ruffled to imitate the tutu as a backdrop (maybe for the food/dessert table) maybe hang a few felt bows from there too. </p> <p>I would use ribbon too... seems to "match" tutus. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postathon-chat-thread-510/page/2#post-154696 Thu, 10 May 2012 19:32:43 +0000 obxwife 154696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blushink: Wow! So REALLY soon then! After mucus plug, it's usually no more than a few days. Keeping my fingers crossed for you. :)</p> <p>@mediagirl: I know!! I really don't want to leave him especially now that I'm back to work, our weekends are special. The wedding is Memorial Day weekend (@mrsjyw: it's Maria's!) and I just don't know what to do. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postathon-chat-thread-510/page/2#post-154695 Thu, 10 May 2012 19:32:33 +0000 mrs. wagon 154695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@obxwife: don't bring him to the reception... we tried to when Wagon Jr. was around a year and he was so upset because it was so LOUD! loud music, people cheering, etc. We left super early. The reception ran super late because the limo broke down on the way there (!!!) so we left at 9pm, before they even served dinner! McDonald's on the way home... ;)</p> <p>@mediagirl: yes! I am the big fat pregnant bridesmaid.... haha. I ordered a dress in size 20 (!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ack!!!!) but I'm really glad because after the alterations it's really comfy and actually looks like it was made for maternity. All the other 6 bridesmaids are thin and glamorous so I'm definitely going to stick out... but oh well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postathon-chat-thread-510/page/2#post-154689 Thu, 10 May 2012 19:29:51 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 154689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@obxwife: I've been having BH for over 1.5 months. Have been having contractions on and off for 2 weeks. Lost my mucous plug last night and cramping has been happening more regularly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postathon-chat-thread-510/page/2#post-154686 Thu, 10 May 2012 19:28:27 +0000 mediagirl 154686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: awwww! How much fun that will be!! Are you unit?<br /> @obxwife you have a wedding this weekend, too! I have no idea what to do with the lo. 10 weeks? Gah. I don't think I could leave him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postathon-chat-thread-510/page/2#post-154685 Thu, 10 May 2012 19:28:22 +0000 obxwife 154685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blushink: @mrsjyw: Have you had many BH contractions? So exciting that she'll be here so soon! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postathon-chat-thread-510/page/2#post-154683 Thu, 10 May 2012 19:27:47 +0000 obxwife 154683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blushink: Not sure what I'm looking for yet! Haha, the grownups are urged to dress up too so I guess I need a tutu for myself! Pretty poms would be cute for decor? Nice and fluffy? Ideas welcome!</p> <p>@mrs. wagon: I thought about that option too. My LO is a GREAT sleeper and goes down around 8:30-9 and sleeps til 6/7 so I hate to mess up his schedule by bringing him to the reception so even if someone could sit with him while we party, that'd be awesome. I'm thinking leaving him or bringing someone are my best options. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postathon-chat-thread-510/page/2#post-154679 Thu, 10 May 2012 19:25:22 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 154679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: ya sorry!!! i guess Sienna decided it's not time yet. I've gotten zero contractions today. BOO!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postathon-chat-thread-510/page/2#post-154675 Thu, 10 May 2012 19:24:36 +0000 mrsjyw 154675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blushink: damn i was hoping i wouldn't see you on here, but in l&amp;d with Sienna!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postathon-chat-thread-510/page/2#post-154674 Thu, 10 May 2012 19:24:19 +0000 mrs. wagon 154674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@obxwife: could you bring someone along who could babysit in a hotel room while you're at the wedding? Since LO is still so young that might work...? I personally never left Wagon Jr. while he was nursing but looking back, that would have been fun...! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postathon-chat-thread-510/page/2#post-154668 Thu, 10 May 2012 19:22:53 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 154668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@obxwife: I love that!!! What are you looking for exactly? I'm always up to "finding" new places to shop for stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postathon-chat-thread-510/page/2#post-154663 Thu, 10 May 2012 19:20:50 +0000 obxwife 154663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blushink: Aw, Color Block party would be fun!! I'm now researching a tutus and ties theme party for my sisters baby, she's 7 mo's now :)</p> <p>@mrs. wagon: I've never left him for longer than a work day, I'm so anxious to do it! I'm BF'ing so that would be a pain to pump but I don't know... it would be nice not to have to worry about him during the wedding. Ugh! So torn! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postathon-chat-thread-510/page/2#post-154651 Thu, 10 May 2012 19:17:19 +0000 mrs. wagon 154651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@obxwife: He is 2 years 5 months. (don't worry, I can never remember how old anyone else's LOs are!!) We once left him to go to a wedding in Niagara Falls (we went by plane) for one night, and we once left him for 2 nights for our babymoon about an hour away. I've been anxious every time, and this time I'm anxious because I know he will be asking where mommy and daddy are now that he can talk really well. But my MIL is great with him and it always ends up being a lot better than we think it will be. If you have someone you really trust I would totally recommend leaving LO behind! It's tough but worth it, I think, to have the break and be childless for a while! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postathon-chat-thread-510/page/2#post-154646 Thu, 10 May 2012 19:15:34 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 154646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@obxwife: Still unsure! I'm not doing anything huge (like his first bday because the hubs will kill me) so I'm thinking... maybe a Color Block party! (Mavrick LOVES coloring) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postathon-chat-thread-510/page/2#post-154638 Thu, 10 May 2012 19:14:35 +0000 obxwife 154638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blushink: Ooh, what's the theme?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postathon-chat-thread-510#post-154635 Thu, 10 May 2012 19:14:07 +0000 obxwife 154635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: I should probably know this... how old is your LO? Mine is 10 weeks now and we have a wedding 2 hours away and we'll be staying overnight. Debating leaving him vs. bringing him </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postathon-chat-thread-510#post-154629 Thu, 10 May 2012 19:13:25 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 154629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm baking some muffins for the hubs (he's been nagging me for weeks) and I'm looking for some party supplies for a themed birthday party! Yes, I can't neglect Mavrick's 2nd bday </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postathon-chat-thread-510#post-154628 Thu, 10 May 2012 19:13:04 +0000 obxwife 154628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: Speak your mind girl!! He'll get over it. Hahaha ;)<br /> Seriously though, I hope you get it straightened out with the billing company! :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postathon-chat-thread-510#post-154627 Thu, 10 May 2012 19:13:03 +0000 mrs. wagon 154627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@obxwife: I know.... I died a little inside that day. Thankfully the suits came out ok but I will always know they went through HOT HOT HOT wash.... :(</p> <p>@mediagirl: my childhood best friend is getting married!!! It's right here in town but we're staying at the hotel and making a weekend of it. MIL is coming tomorrow to take care of Wagon Jr. I'm so excited but also ANXIOUS!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postathon-chat-thread-510#post-154618 Thu, 10 May 2012 19:10:05 +0000 mediagirl 154618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: who's getting married??<br /> @obxwife: @mrsjyw: I love baby laundry. Everything is so small and precious! I hate regular laundry. Blah. </p> <p>I have laundry and dishes stacked up. Between the two, I'd take laundry. </p> <p>I think I pissed husband off tonight. He came home and we were talking about his CT scan bill that just came in. The company billed our insurance $1050 for it. Our insurance only values it at $400 so, we owe a boatload for a freaking scan? Seriously, in Consumer Reports they said the average CT scan costs $350. Who does this company think they are???? You bet I'll be calling tomorrow to get some answers. Anyways, I said something to him about him taking care of it because he was trying to drop knowledge on me. He didn't like that. He likes me to take care of things and doesn't like it when I say, fine, you do it yourself. He's been upstairs since 7. Oooops. </p>
