@Jennimac: sent!
@ladybee: YAYYY congrats on the fun furniture!!! It must be a relief! My MIL said she would in April and we're still waiting... oy.
-
@ladybee: love your new furniture!
-
@ladybee: Your furniture is beautiful! That's so nice your in-laws gifted it. My MIL generously offered, but hasn't said anything since... we'll see!
-
@Sadieloo: @daniellemybelle: thanks! When they first offered and took us shopping I was surprised by the quality and expectations they were looking for. It'll be the nicest furniture we own lol
-
So, in 3-4 months, we'll all have babies. CRAZY!
-
@evansjamie: shut. up. I am already dizzy because my weekly update today (25 weeks!) says baby is 13 1/2 inches long. LONGER THAN A FIVE DOLLAR FOOTLONG. Mind = blown.
-
@kjpugs: Bwahahahaha! Don't let my nonchalance over that statement fool you. I spend half my time in awe and the other half trying not to pee myself in terror that they are actually going to let me bring this brand new human being home and not make me get a license or something.
-
@evansjamie: @kjpugs: same way over here!! My cousin who was due 3.5 months before me went into labor Saturday. Made DH and I realize we need to get our butts moving!
Love the 5 dollar foot long comment! I'm only 23 weeks so baby is a foot long.
-
@ladybee: I'm stressed about getting my butt moving too. My MIL offered to get us our (ikea) baby furniture in April and hasn't yet. I really am stressing because now that we're at the good infant survival rate time, I'm paranoid I'll go into labor, and bein the NICU without a crib at home. What is that maybe a .5% chance? Yet I am still PANICKED about my lack of nursery!!!!!!!
-
@kjpugs: I hope she gets the furniture soon! I've got a crib, but that's it so far. I'm hoping this weekend we can at least get a mattress and sheets for it to have just in case.
-
@kjpugs: has your DH mentioned it to her again? She needs to get moving!
-
@ladybee: YEP. World's longest story that I'm not writing on here. We got an ikea $65 gift card from a shower guest already so post-shower I'm just buying it either way because I'm sick of waiting and all the excuses.
-
@kjpugs: I'm sorry it's been stressful!
-
@kjpugs: Ick, I hate that for you! I would do the same thing. My MIL bought us a bassinet, but I have no idea when I'll actually get it. I think I'll pick up a Moses basket or something to have on hand in our room just in case. Plus, she smokes, so if it sits in her house a long time I'll still have to wash everything even though it's been in a box.
-
@ladybee: That's some gorgeous furniture! Wonderful! So happy that you didn't pay for it.
@kjpugs: Hopefully DH can encourage MIL to get a move on? Or just buy it yourself and have her pick up some other huge expense?
So, speaking of nurseries, two weeks from now, my MIL is coming for 5 days -- yes 5 WHOLE days - to join forces with my DH and force me to reorganize our house. I should be grateful to not have to pay a professional organizer to help us get ready for baby?

@corilyns: yikes. Yes, you should be grateful and you should also dread having company for FIVE days!
-
@ladybee: Ha! You're right. I'll let you guys know how it goes. Or you'll see it on "Hoarders." I think this is an intervention.
-
@corilyns: If I don't get my rear in gear, I know I will have an intervention and my family will put me on Hoarders.
-
When the list is separated into team pink and blue it is almost even but as a team blue person myself I feel like EVERYONE is team pink! Crazy!
-
So, I am not at all thrilled that my nausea is back. I hope I can still keep my food down.
-
@ladybee: I feel like the most active posters on here are team pink.
I CANNOT wait to see what the team green/unknown group turn out to be!!! And our final count!
-
@evansjamie: oh no! I hope it goes away too. On the bright side we're all closing I in the final stretch!!!
-
@evansjamie: that's yucky, I'm sorry. I hope you feel better. @kjpugs: how are you feeling? Any better?@Sadieloo: I feel a ways behind everyone since I'm at the end of the month.
-
@ladybee: thanks- better!! Benadryl is helping the allergies and overall feeling pretty good this week. How are you??
-
@evansjamie: @ladybee: FYI I mentioned being stressed about the nursery in a blog post and MIL told me yesterday she bought the gift cards and will give them to us in Indy. LOL! Stress relieved!!!!!!!!!!
-
@kjpugs: yay!!!
-
@kjpugs: Today I feel stupid tired, like can't focus and shouldn't drive tired so I'm spending the day relaxing on the couch! That is so great about your MIL! I'm so glad that she came through!

@ladybee: I am more tired these days too. I hope you feel better!

Anyone a little worried about having a "Halloween baby"? I realized if I go 42 weeks that will be 10/29 - super close to Halloween! My birthday is in the month of December - not even that close to Christmas - but it was a bit a "thing" for me as a kid. I don't want our LO to get Halloween themed gifts or get their birthday party rolled into a Halloween party!
-
@daniellemybelle: yes! I hate hate hate Halloween and my original due date was the 28th. Now that it's been moved to the 22nd I'm a little more hopeful.
-
@ladybee: This is terrible, but I would probably be more willing to consider an induction at 41 weeks over 42 weeks just for this reason... A pretty dumb reason though!
-
@daniellemybelle: I never really considered it. My sister's birthday is 8 days before Christmas. I know it was hard for me as a kid because it seemed like she got twice the presents. Luckily, even if I go to 42 weeks, it's only going to put her birthday on or around October 18. October is a tricky month though, since everyone is having parties for Halloween and a birthday may be overshadowed.
-
My youngest sister's bday is October 22. She actually loves it. It's close enough that she can do something halloweenie if she wants, but far enough away that she could whatever theme birthday party she wanted. Her most favorite childhood party was a Halloween carnival and we had games and my parents rented some ponies to come out. It was super cute.
-
@Jennimac: I would be happy with October 22nd and I'm really ok with anything except the actual 31st.
-
Just saw the baby move from the outside for the first time! So cool! This whole thing is becoming more and more real everyday and my anxiety is getting better and better
-
@ladybee: Isn't it amazing! Now I just want my husband to see it.
-
27 Weeks yesterday... Strange how some of the pregnancy calendars consider this week the start of the 3rd trimester and others consider 28 weeks as the start of it. Either way October is closing in. I also haven't done anything with the nursery yet... really need to get on that. We've at least decided on a color scheme... Light Green on the walls, white furniture with grey accents, as gender neutral as it gets.
-
@Redmini1: it's crazy how close it seems!
We made the trip to BBB today for a mattress and other things. They honored my bed bath and beyond coupon, so I basically got my mattress pad and closet organizer for free! Score!
