Hellobee Boards

@evansjamie: Thats great news! Good luck! do you think your pregnancy will be an issue?

@evansjamie: Sounds like youve got your bases covered. Hopefully they will be understanding and sympathetic to the situation

So I'm having the worst f**king day of my life. (Exaggeration but still.) trying to fly to IN for our shower/reveal tonight and my gender reveal blog post went up AM instead of PM bc I'm an idiot. I have gotten 7392773 messages about it and I'm just praying no one who is going tonight saw it (or sees it in their reader which apparently is still showing it) before I deleted it. And my standby flight got delayed so back to our original one. Just.... this day needs to get better. </vent>

@evansjamie: Congrats! Really excited for you and keeping my fingers crossed! Funny timing since we were just talking about this!!!

Thanks for the sweet words everyone! Only ruined it for one guest who was super sweet about it! And everyone else was surprised! We told them with cake balls from the bakery I used to work at! Here we go...

@kjpugs: ohmigosh you look soooo cute!! What a great idea!

@ladybee: @Jennimac: thanks!!!!! oh I'm on my cell but someone update the Pink/Blue list with me!

@evansjamie: I love the zoo! I went with my class at 17 weeks pregnant and had to take my rings off. They've fit on and off since but since I put on some weight after our wedding they were snug to begin with.

@ladybee: Can your furniture be rearranged in any way to make more floor space? I'm with you, we are planning a thanksgiving sip and see for our extended families and I'm not sure how we'll fit 30+ people in our 1100 sq. ft. House.

@Jennimac: I hate that! I'm so sorry your sweaters did that to you. You are a beautiful person no matter what, but I understand the power of a bad outfit.

I went on a quest for a shirt for my interview, and I was disgusted with the GapMaternity selection. It was such a small part of the store, I only found one shirt that was remotely business appropriate, and I refuse to pay $30 for a shirt that might fit for another week or so. I'm headed to Motherhood tomorrow, otherwise I will just have to find something in my current wardrobe.

@evansjamie: totally agree about Gap maternity. The selection was awful and tiny!

AND, to top off my weekend, while I was cleaning the tub I found a 1" long section of grout missing between two tiles. Now I need to figure out if I can just regrout that area or if this is a gut job. I have no idea how long it's been missing. It looks like my nursery budget might become my "gut and tile your tub surround while you hope there isn't any mold" budget.

@kjpugs: Congrats on joining Team PINK!!!

@ladybee: I'm starting to see stuff being purchased off my registries but my shower is going to be a surprise and i'm thinking its still at least a few weeks away. so exciting

@Jennimac: I havent ventured into gap maternity or motherhood yet. I've been sticking mostly with target and old navy. but even with them I'm very disappointed with their stock in stores. I've had better luck finding pieces in the regular clothes and getting a size up.

@evansjamie: Home renovations are killing us too. When we found out we were expecting we were at the tail end of our addition project and have since added a patio (needed to pass final inspection) and have started working on finishing the basement so we can clear out what will be the nursery. At this point I'm just hoping for really generous friends and family to gift us the necessities so we dont have to dip more into savings.

ASFM: Found out this morning that my manager, who is currently on a cruise this week, made the announcement after i left for the day on friday that she is also expecting and is due 12/30 which is right before i come back from maternity leave. So she's 16 weeks. This should be interesting..... We also have 2 other coworkers that are due end of Nov and middle of Jan, luckily they're in different departments.

phew... just got the call from my doctor's office.... I passed my glucose test!

@Sadieloo: Ladies -- have you tried MineForNine.com? It's a maternity clothes rental kinda like RenttheRunway.
@chillybear - congrats on Glucose!
@kjpugs - congratulations on your baby girl.

Good luck to all with your showers!

@Chillybear: Lol. Blizzard...yummmy... That really does sound great, especially as it's 90+ degrees today!

@Corilyns: I have never heard of MineForNine.com Of course now I am thinking, why didn't I think of that. Such a great idea and thanks for sharing!

How's everyone feeling these days? I am officially 28+ weeks and my motivation to work is decreasing by the day! I really need to work on winning the lottery!

@Sadieloo: What's cool about MineforNine is that they send you a second size for Free! if one doesn't fit, just send back the other one. Buying on the Web is always hit or miss for me, so I appreciated this aspect. You get the gear for a month. Or two weeks, I think.

@corilyns: Oh cool! I may have to borrow something for my baby shower next month. Especially if it's only $20 or so to rent!!!

@daniellemybelle: I'll likely have a dinner party co-Ed shower that will be kinda small. Maybe 20? If that? We're just figuring out where to do it. And if we don't get it planned soon, it'll be a Sip and See around the holidays.

@corilyns: That sounds nice! 20 is a perfect size for a shower. Are you planning it yourself? I've also considered doing a "sip & see" but it seems like a lot of work after the baby's arrived!

@evansjamie: That's nice about your friends from college! I only have one really close friend where we live now, and she's not in the position to host anything.
