@Mae: Thanks! That makes me feel a bit less ridiculous. I think this baby is 1.5 lbs now!
-
@Mrs Hazelnut: exciting! It never hurts to go to an interview and at the very least, get a feel for what's out there. Good luck!
-
@glitter: I think your post is meant for @mae !
-
@Mae: that's awesome about the interview!!! You should totally go for it...never hurts to just go! (says the person who would probably be way to chicken hahaha...i'm horrible at interviews).
I got asked my my daycare provider to let her know the official date DD would be moving to part time (2 days a week). I had originally told her "May" but now she needs a specific date. I'm kind of wishing I had said June, so that we could have a few weeks getting used to being at home with the baby with DD still in daycare during the day, but one of the other moms is waiting on our date so that she can bump her daugther up to 3 days a week (she currently goes 2 days). I feel guilty pushing it back to June. Decisions, decisions!
-
@cookie_dough: How about saying May 26? Last week of May is still May! lol Although really if the other mom has been making it work with 2 days thus far would another week or two really matter to her? Maybe try saying June 2 and see if that is okay?
-
@Mae: I just wish I could predict exactly when the little dude will get here, that would make things so much easier! I mean, TECHNICALLY, we are scheduled for him to be here via c-section on the 21st, but I guess he could still show up early. Normally I would totally just push it to June, but the other mom currently a stay-at-home mom and wants to go back to work. I hate to postpone her going back to work unecessarily. I was all prepared to have DD stay home part time starting right when I went off work, but a friend who just had her second baby was adamant that it's way better to keep your first kid in daycare full times for the first few weeks while you adjust to the new baby.
-
@cookie_dough: Maybe I'm selfish but I feel like… you need to do what is right for your family.
-
@Mrs Hazelnut: @Mae: oops! Sorry I don't know how that happened!
-
@Mae: Ya, I agree. I'm not very good at standing up for myself and I hate inconveniencing others, but I will try and do it in a nice way
-
@cookie_dough: I'm the same way. I have a habit of being deferential to other people's feelings/needs at the expense of my own. But I'm working on it. (So much easier to tell someone else what to do rather than do it yourself… hah)
-
@gingerblonde: I hope your 3 hour test went well today!
I got a call from my nurse and I passed the 3 hour! However, I barely passed so she wants me to watch my sugar/carb intake closely from here on out. So I'm not totally clear, but at least I don't have to go more appointments or be labeled (even more) high risk than I already am!
-
@twodoghouse: yay!!! that's awesome! too bad that you have to be extra careful, but at least you don't have to worry too too much. I figure that even if I pass the 1-hour (and that's a big "if"), I should really start being way more careful about what I'm eating.
-
@Mae: So exciting! Good luck on the interview!
@twodoghouse: What a relief that you passed! We should ALL probably be careful about what we're eating so I guess it's a good idea anyway, without the stress of testing your blood all the time
@cookie_dough: I agree to give yourself at least a week or so to start getting settled in with your DD still in daycare full time. If you know he'll be here by the 21st at the latest, maybe you could say May 31 (if it has to be May) or even ask for beginning of June if feasible. DS doesn't go to daycare and I'm petrified of that first day that I'll be home alone with both of them. I hope DH is able to take 2 weeks off work or that my mom will stay with us for a while once he goes back.
-
@twodoghouse: yay for passing your test!! and really, you'll be better off watching what you eat anyways. we definitely all should be
-
@skipra: Ya, I ended up emailing her and telling her that my first choice is June 2, but that I understand that since I originally said May, it may not be possible. I'm really hoping that the other mom has a bit of flexibility! If not, we will just make it work somehow. DH will be off for the first two weeks, so that will be a big help. And either way, DD will still be in daycare two days a week, and my mom will likely take her one day a week, so it's not like she will be home with us every day. The only issue is that my sister is due in early June and lives in a different city, so my mom will have to leave at some point to go and stay with her for a bit!!! Hopefully MIL will step in and help us out, especially when DH goes back to work.
-
@twodoghouse: So glad that your test turned out well, congrats!!!
I just got to work after the 3 hr test. I'm hanging in there, but I'm maybe a little loopy! I was a bit of a human pincushion - I ended up being poked 7 total times because my veins are tough and I think it must have been teaching day at the lab. Oh well - I'll just have a couple gnarly bruises. I was starving so I got down on a salad, and now I'm just waiting for my phone to ring again. Hoping for the best. -
@gingerblonde: Ouch to your 7 pokes! Will you get your results today? Fingers crossed for you!
-
@twodoghouse: I seriously hope so... but it's possible that it will be Monday before they get to it.
-
@gingerblonde: gah, they poked you 7 times-- least they could do would be move their asses on processing the results! lol
-
Sooooo what if I wasn't team green anymore?
When I say I, I definitely mean I and not "we" (DH & I).
I am the worst person in the world.
-
@Beebug: omg did you find out? TELLLLLLL USSSSSSSSSSS
-
@Mae: I did. I don't even want to tell you ladies!!! I don't feel guilty, but don't want to tell you ladies and then feel guilty *someone* other than me knows and not DH.
-
@Beebug: How did you find out? Was it an accident? Does your DH know that you know?
-
@Beebug: okay you canNOT tell us that you know but not tell us!! lol. That's just mean!
-
aaaand now I'm obsessively refreshing this thread waiting for an update bc OMGIWANNAKNOW.
-
@skipra: I went and paid for a gender determination today. DH does not know.
@Mae: I said it above, I am the worst person in the world, lol.
-
@Beebug: omg! lol I can't believe you went and paid for it and didn't tell him!! hahahaha. Are you going to tell him?
-
@Mae: Right now I am angry with him and it's half the reason I went and did it. He keeps doing something awful and selfish, so I did something awful and selfish. Childish? Absolutely. I think if the place didn't fit me in so quickly (like didn't have something til next week) I would have totally bailed.
-
@Beebug: lol gender determination as revenge. Did you tell the tech? Mightve been the first time s/he heard that one!
-
@Mae: I did not. I was embarassed, lol. Sign right there that I knew/know I was doing something wrong.
-
@Beebug: i feel like this is the sort of thing people on sitcoms do.
-
@Beebug: ahhhhhhhh!!!! I want to know!!!!
-
@Beebug: Oh my gosh!!!
-
@Beebug: Holy moly! You're definitely not the worst person in the world, and it's understandable you may not want to tell us till DH knows... But the suspense is insane! I'm still sorry to hear these months have been so rough for you guys.
@twodoghouse: and others - congrats on passing the glucose tests (and reminding all of us to go lighter on the junk food).
@Mae: Exciting stuff with the job! Is this the one you were so hesitant to apply for? So glad you did! Keep us posted.
-
@Beebug: oh man! That is so brave of you. I really want to know though!!
-
DH has been giving me a run for my money over the same issue for a few months now. He knows it, and it's been tough. His fam drama on top of it all, god I love him, but my patience wears thin at times, and I feel I'm at a bit of a tipping point. Moment of honesty, what I did (finding out gender) is totally bratty and childish. I won't have any issue keeping it from DH or anyone else, and it doesn't really make me feel better, just got my moment of screw it, I'm doing my own thing, and I did.
It was supposed to just be a gender determination, but I was the last appt of the day so she let me see the face with feet folded up infront of face, and a hand too! Got to see the cute little toes, adorable fat cheeks, and she said hair, but really? They can see that? Anyways, lol. It was really neat, it's a boy ladies
Eeeeeeeeeeeeee!
-
@Mae: Good luck with the interview!
@Beebug: Oh man I can understand wanting petty revenge...except he doesn't know you have gotten it! And add me to the list of those who want to know! What if instead of blatantly stating what you are having, you mention, again, the names you are considering while sticking to the one sex? Ignore all my comma's in previous sentence. I am TG but LOVE when others find out.
-
@Beebug: congrats!!! One more boy to add to the list (and we share the same due date!) exciting! How do you feel knowing that DD will have a little brother? Are you going to tell DH?
-
@Beebug: AAAAAHHHHHHH YAYYYYYYYY! Congratulations on your little man!!!!!!
-
@Beebug: yayyyyyy!!! Welcome to team blue
our dd's are both going to have little bros!!!
