Hellobee Boards

I hate how when a post creates a new page it seems to always get lost until someone else comments....

@charmed: good luck getting out with ONLY a dresser! lol!! our childbirth class wasn't any new info, but I liked getting the samples and coupons and the hospital tour was really exciting to see where it was all going to happen!

@charmed: This may be your first trip to Ikea but I doubt it's your last

@cheesehead: I'm doing fine I guess. Just the normal uncomfortableness of being 7 months pregnant Also I'm feeling a lot more stressed out about getting things ready for baby this time than I did the first time. I sure hope that that isn't a bad sign. Since (fully paid) maternity leave starts at 6 weeks before EDD over here I'm slowly but surely starting to count the days until that last day of work gets here. Also really looking forward to seeing my little girl again on our 30w u/s. Her kicks have gotten quite uncomfortable sometimes though. I'm also pretty sure she is still doing summersaults in there as sometimes the kicks are into my bladder and two days later it will be my stomach that gets in the way of my little karate kid.

ETA: I don't think I ever got around to updating you guys that I passed my glucose test! So cookies here I come

@cheesehead: We're working on LO's big girl room too. We are painting now rather than have to move everything out later and bunk her somewhere else. I'm so busy with work projects, LO's new room, picking paint colors for the exterior of our house (which turns out to be harder than you'd think), chasing my toddler around, and life in general that I don't think about this pregnancy as much as I did the first time. Not that I can forget with this big bump lol. Plus I'm waiting on the results of the 3-hour glucose test so that's been on my mind.
I'm excited to meet LO#2 and time is flying - hard to believe it's already mid-October! I realized the other day that I have to pick up a few Team Green outfits for LO#2's first days. We knew we were having a girl the first time so everything from the baby shower was girly.

@keepcalmcarrie: that's a lot, but you can do it!

@Pumuckl: haha eat a cookie for me! Glad you passed.

@cheesehead: I was thinking about that too. I think it seems like more stuff to get done because we have a little person that takes so much of our time... not that we mind! It's certainly going to be different this time, no more napping when the newborn naps but women have been raising multiple children for centuries so I'm sure we'll figure it out.

Eeek only 81 days left for me!!

Had my glucose test this morning- hopefully that went well. My office is a "no news is good news" type place, so hopefully I don't hear anything from them

Got our dresser (along with some other random stuff ) from Ikea this weekend, and my mother in law just let me know she bought our crib/mattress and it should be here in a week or so. I'm excited to start putting the nursery together!

@Pumuckl: congrats on passing the glucose test!

@keepcalmcarrie: good luck with the move!

@namaste: I'll be 30 weeks on Thursday also! Crazy to be in the 30s lol. I also don't feel well if I don't eat every couple of hours.

@charmed: I'm also getting a dresser from Ikea but we put it on our registry so we'll wait till after the baby shower to get it. Ikea is great for affordable stuff that looks nice.

I am definitely feeling my growing belly. I feel like I'm starting to waddle when I walk haha. I also have this constant leg soreness as if I went to the gym, I'm not sure why but it's not fun =(.
Feeling the baby's movement and actually seeing it is super exciting though.

We have tentatively agreed on doing a nanny share with another family that lives in our building. Their daughter is 8 months old now and they really like their nanny. It works out for us because we only need a nanny part time since my husband only works 3 shifts a week so it would be super hard to find our own nanny as they usually want full-time work and a steady schedule. It's not the ideal situation just because our nanny will look after 2 kids instead of just ours, and I don't know what we'll do if the other child is sick.

Anyway else have or planning on getting a babysitter?

@Radish: you know I hear you on the name front.

@pmrlady: we kind of did a nanny share with DD1. A friend of mine with a daughter two months older was planning on staying home. She takes DD while I'm at work and they have the most fun together. A built in playmate. We get the benefits of individualized care with the perks of socialization and a ton more outings and activities. I could go on and on with how much I love our situation.

I'm on my way into work after my 30 week appointment. Baby girl is still measuring ahead so I have a growth scan scheduled in three weeks. I passed my gd scan. I'm actually a little disappointed. I was hoping the gd diet would help make this baby be smaller than her sister.

@charmed: good luck on your GD scan.

@MapleMoose: that's what I keep telling myself. Millions of women have cared for a toddler while nursing a newborn. I can do it too.

@oliviaoblivia: At least everyone is healthy.

@sorrycharlie: Good luck and I hope you get to eat soon!

@Radish: that's true. I'm so fortunate to have a healthy one in there.

@oliviaoblivia: @Pumuckl: oops. I ate it.. I was starving, lol. Well we will see what happens!

Everyone sounds so busy! I hope all the big moves and prep is going well for all.

My 3-hour test was normal, thank goodness. I may or may not have had a donut at work this morning to celebrate.

@mfa_lady: hooray!

@MapleMoose: I have like 5 boy's names I would be happy to name a kid, I'm so much picker when it comes to girls names.

@mfa_lady: So happy the test came back normal!

@Radish: Oh trust me, I know exactly what you mean. I was super picky when it came to DD's name... even making sure I liked the nickname and trying out different spelling variations. It was easier to pick a middle name because I used my mom's lol

@mfa_lady: No news yet, thanks for asking though! They made an appointment for tomorrow so I expect to hear the results then. Please eat a donut for me

@mfa_lady: Haha I bet it was the best tasting donut you've ever had too. Just because you can.

@mfa_lady: Totally cracking up here. They just make food look so fun!
