@jojepie: Oh that would annoy me too! Let's poke the pregnant lady's belly while her bladder is overfull . . . not cool
@sorrycharlie: Luckily I only have to drink 24 oz (which isn't that bad), but I'm worried about them running late.
Strange that not everyone has to do it - I wonder if it has something to do with different ultrasound equipment or something?

@charmed: that's crazy?!?! I wasn't given any directions, but I had a full bladder and the tech asked if I needed to go! I barely noticed

@charmed: No water requirement before my scan. With LO#1 I remember having a full bladder from my own doing and the tech let me pee a few minutes into the scan because she could tell lol. This time I made sure not to chug water beforehand.

So I'm SUPER excited! DH and I just got approved for a house to rent. It's 3 bedrooms and has a nice big yard. I live in the SF Bay area, so finding something like that is either really difficult or REALLY expensive. This was not too hard and its not breaking the bank either. We get to move in on September 1st. Guess I better start packing!

@charmed: yay!! Waiting to hear! What time is your appt again? Any gut feeling?

@pmrlady: oh I hate bladder kicks! And they only get worse...
@charmed: wow not being able to pee when you need to go sucks. They actually always ask me to go before the u/s... Good luck today!
@sorrycharlie: Is it your appointment today too? Good luck to you too then!
@MrsHansen82: Wow, exciting times. Glad it worked out for you with the house.

Anyone else having trouble staying focused on work? I feel like I'm constantly reading about baby stuff. I borrowed the what to expect when you're expecting and what to expect in the first year books from my sister and along with researching baby registry stuff and googling baby stuff ( today I watched a YouTube video on how to give baby a bath), I feel like I'm not reading anything work related anymore
It's hard not to let it take over my life but I feel like I need to tone it down a little because I definitely won't be concentrating on work once baby actually arrives... Sigh

@MrsHansen82: Nice. The bay area is expensive!! I'm so happy for you. We are in a townhouse with no backyard in south bay area. But we have a nice common area with a kid's playground. I do wish we could afford to have a house with a backyard though. You are living the dream!

@Raindrop: I didn't realize you were so close! We should plan a Bay Area meetup when these little ones arrive.
grapefruit / 4731 posts
@MrsHansen82: LOL I think someone tried to do a bay area meet up on HB a while ago but I sort of feel us silicon valley "types" are anti-social so it didn't go anywhere. I would definitely be up for a meet up though when our LO's arrive!

It's a girl!!
Appointment went well and everything looks great, but baby kept us in suspense until the end (she was being shy and had her legs crossed!!)
Also found out I have an anterior placenta, but apparently that hasn't made a difference for me feeling movement. Although I do feel everything low and to the sides rather than in front, which makes sense now.

@charmed: hooray!!! Your intuition was dead on!!! I love that. Congratulations on a daughter.
Hot damn you guys are having a lot of little sweet little girls!

@Radish: @Raindrop: @MrsMccarthy: thanks!
@sorrycharlie: my gut feeling has been girl, but the last few weeks I kept thinking "boy" or using male pronouns so I was doubting myself.
@pmrlady: I work from home, and it has been sooo hard to make myself get all my work done before I switch over to baby mode. All my reading material is baby related too
persimmon / 1177 posts
@namaste: good luck to you today! Can't wait to hear how it goes!
@KeepCalmCarrie: hope your appointment goes well too!
@pmrlady: @MrsHansen82: thanks!
@Radish: my next appointment is September 23 if you want to add it the next time you update the list.

Good luck to the ladies having their scans today.

So excited to see our month list updated with all the pink, blue, and green!

@MapleMoose: same here, isn't it cool how it went from being all boring black and white to so colorful. And that black and white time doesn't feel too far away yet!
persimmon / 1096 posts
@charmed: Thanks!
@namaste: Can't wait to hear how yours went!
@charmed: Yay for another January lady
My appointment went well this morning - heartbeat still in the 140s, baby measuring 20 weeks. My BP was so low the nurse took it 3 times. Not a concern, but it does explain my lightheadedness every time I stand up! Anyone else experiencing that?
I've also only gained 1 lb (WTF?) at this point, which is shocking to me. I seriously look like I did last time at 7-8 months pregnant, so I don't know how that's possible. But I treated myself to a spicy chicken biscuit from Chik-Fil-A afterward, you know, to make sure the baby is getting enough nutrients
apricot / 495 posts
@keepcalmcarrie: sounds like my baby needs more nutrients
@charmed: yay!!!! So many baby girls in January!
grapefruit / 4731 posts
@keepcalmcarrie: LOL! I love Chick-fil-a! Yes the baby needs nutrients.
pomegranate / 3601 posts
@keepcalmcarrie: So happy to hear that LO is doing well. I guess running after an active toddler does that to your weight. Love your trip to chick-fil-a

@namaste: what time is your appointment? I keep checking for updates!!
