Hellobee Boards

@gingerbebe: I have some that can cover 3 sides but we have the Graco Lauren crib and L actually gnawed the back of the crib and a teething rail won't cover it. It's awful!

@Pancakes:

@Torchwood: That sucks! I can't imagine getting up that many times a night and making it into the office in the morning.

Ugh, I think my morning sickness is trying to creep back into my life. I felt queasy and sick all day yesterday and woke up feeling the same way. During a super busy week at work too!

At least its cool and breezy today and not 115 or whatever it was over the weekend. What's everyone up to today?

@Torchwood: I live in Northern California where it gets scorching in the summers. At least its dry heat. I put my time in on the East Coast and that mugginess is the worst.

Hi ladies! Just caught up with two weeks of reading this thread (again!) I don't know what my problem is, I have been so bad with keeping up over here!

Sh*t is starting to get real, real fast. We toured the Childhood Development Center that we will most likely enroll the baby in after my 16 week maternity leave. It's on my work campus and while it's pretty pricey, it's still cheaper than hiring a nanny. I loved it way more than I thought I would, but it was so weird thinking about lugging in a kid and bag and gear and dropping them off for the day as a part of my daily routine. It is starting to feel so imminent!

Just finished my registry, all on Amazon (baby stores make me depressed and stabby) and I have 100 items, which felt like a crazy amount until my mom said the same thing some of yours have - put more on there! I have four showers - church, work, home (in SD), and family (in Chicago). One shower is one big gift and I'm getting my car seat, but the others will have 25-35 people each. I hope they just go in together to buy my pricier items!

We are really really anti baby clutter. I will get put in my place is 15 weeks, I know! But in the meantime, I'm keeping my registry pretty small. But I am going to go back and increase the number of bottle, towels, bibs and burp clothes thanks to your advice!

I have my glucose test tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed!

I have my 28w appointment today, and I think this is when appointments start being every 2 weeks.... Which means time is really going to go by quickly!

Wow @mrs. jump rope! 28 weeks... so crazy. I think once I hit 30 weeks its going to get reallllly real. My 28 week apt is a week from Monday and then I start going every 2 weeks. Eek!

Had a total meltdown yesterday over the nursery. The furniture store basically told me I had to take delivery in the next 30 days or else (even though the furniture arrived 5 weeks early!?) and I started crying and said okay even though I meant to say no way and stand up for myself... Is anyone else in the cry over everything stage? I haven't been like this at all and this week it is just constant! Everything makes me cry!

@Mrs. Jump Rope: Exciting! I'm 27 weeks on Sunday but my 28 week appt isn't until almost the end of 28 weeks. I'm kind of ready to get this glucose test over with!

@psw27: With my first pregnancy, I remember feeling like 30 weeks was a major milestone...I think I'll probably feel that way this time, too.

@tequiero21: Woohoo! Vacation!!!!!

@gingerbebe: We totally had pancakes for dinner a couple nights ago. Do it!

@psw27: I am SUCH a cry baby lately. I cry when trying to communicate the most simple and unemotional things. I was telling E about planning my baby shower (which I'm so excited about) yesterday, and I burst into tears! It's frustrating because I cannot control even when I know I'm being ridiculous!

@tequiero21: My order is in for my test, but haven't taken it yet. But, when I do it I usually have my results online within 24 hours.

@gingerbebe: @LatteLove: @psw27: I've cried 3 times because menus at restaurants didn't have what I wanted.
2 nights ago I cried because I was tired and we weren't home yet so I couldn't go to sleep. I also cried when our hotel room wasn't ready for check in.
And I cry every. single. time. I think about meeting our baby. When I try to picture him and picture my husband holding him. Sob!
A lot of songs make me cry too that normally wouldn't. Changes by David Bowie?!?! Weird!!!!

Anyone else feeling really easily winded already? I swear I don't remember this with my first pregnancy. I'm blaming my first trimester SCH and the horribly long winter for being out of shape. We are in a 3-story townhouse and I'm already finding myself avoiding the stairs if possible. It's things like this that are making this pregnancy drag for me!

@Pancakes: Yes, easily winded. Out shopping is the worse, l have moments where I HAVE to sit because I feel like I will pass out.

@Mrs. Jump Rope: That looks like me! I keep scooting my seat back, but I can't keep tip toe driving!

@Mrs. Jump Rope: That's emotional. Did you have to stop driving when you were preggo with C? Also, I thought of you last night and your snowsuit analogy because I got my Snoogle all arranged perfect and then had to get up to pee. I was devastated.

Had a really good Father's Day, except our neighbor's dog woke us up with really loud barking. Complained to the landlord and settled our lease situation FINALLY. Now we can set up the baby's gear!

Had DH's favorite ice cream air mailed for his Father's Day gift from baby. We also got him a new paper shredder for his office because the other one died. I made him pancakes for breakfast (@Pancakes, they were so good...cinnamon raisin brulee and chocolate chip!) and moco loco for dinner, per his request. I even made cookies to turn his gifted ice cream into ice cream sandwiches for dessert.

Went to Costco for gas, groceries, and a carwash next door. Prepped our lunches and snacks for the week and threw a casserole in the oven to have on hand. Also baking a loaf of bread since the oven's on anyway.

Slept a ton and hung out with some friends with a pool yesterday. I didn't get off work until 10pm on Friday so I was really needing to unwind. Took a fatty nap this afternoon and went to bed relatively early last night, so hopefully I'll be chipper tomorrow.

In other news, our friends gave us their kid's Britax convertible seat because they didn't need it anymore, so that's neat! It will be nice to have that down the line.

How was everyone else's weekend?

Been gone the last couple of days because I was out of town at my first shower! It was the smallest one, so didn't get a ton of gifts or anything, but I LOVE what we got, and we had fun! The big one was that we got the bedding (http://smile.amazon.com/Woodland-Animals-Sweet-Jojo-Designs/dp/B00AB0HV88/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1402934891&sr=8-3&keywords=woodland+bedding- doing a twin size floor bed, not a crib), so we can paint the nursery now! We were waiting to make sure we coordinated the colors properly. I'm still nervous about how big the shower this coming weekend is, but I'm excited too.

So, tmi/personal question, but I'm wondering now. How are ya'll on sex/orgasms? We hadn't risked it since we were in ATL, because that was right before my BH's started getting so bad and I was worried that contributed. Tried again, and O-ing definitely does not feel that good anymore. My belly got so tight it was painful, and as I feared, it set of a chain of one-on-top-of-the-other BH's. One book I read said that O-ing was supposed to be better pregnant, even after sex got uncomfortable, but I definitely am not agreeing.

@Littlebit: Yep. Next one is Wednesday. That should give us a little better idea since it will have been 4 weeks (last time it was only 2.5 between). They said once I get to 34 weeks they'll see if she needs to go ahead and come out (that's only 6 weeks away, eek!), or start monitoring much more frequently. So lots of fingers crossed over here that Wednesday will bring good news.

@Torchwood: ooooh good luck! Keeping u in my thoughts, hoping all goes well and she's able to cook longer without any issues. Have a blast at your next shower! So lucky to have so many people who care about u!!!

@gingerbebe: yay for settling lease situation! How stressful, eh? With the car seat, just make sure it's not expired by the time u use it!

On my front, this is our third attempt on buying a house. This time, we passed inspection!!! So now, we are waiting for the appraisal! Fx! Luckily, they were able to work with us on quick turnaround, since we have to move in about a month.

@Torchwood: Good luck!

@tequiero21: Yeah, I have to go out to the garage and check the date on it. The friend just called DH and he was like "FREE IS FOR MEEEE!" and took it. How was your vacation!?

The fatigue is hitting me again this week. I think its because last week was so busy at work. I've been sleeping like a corpse at night and am so offended when the alarm goes off in the morning. And the afternoon foot swelling has begun in earnest.
And I'm hobbling around with foot pain because I think the ligaments have started to loosen up or something.

The joys, ladies. The joys.

@gingerbebe: Ugh, I hear you. I am so over being pregnant.
