I slept really well last night so I'm thrilled about that. Lately it's been taking an hour or so to fall asleep and then around 12-1 I'll wake up to pee but be awake for another 1.5 hrs. Then my alarm goes off at 3:30. 😫
I'm going to call my mom in less than an hour to see if I can stop by soon after. I'm so excited!!!

3:30, wow that's early. I used to think 4:30 was early when I used to have to get up for work! Solidarity mama!

We announced on Facebook yesterday! So weird to now have the news out in the open!

It just makes it so much more real when you do that 😊

Also, my doctor surprised me by scheduling my anatomy scan for next Thursday! I'm so excited. But I'm waffling on staying team green.

Who was my team green buddy? I need someone to talk me down.

Me! Stay strong! Be surprised!

We can do it!

I'm feeling pretty firmly in team green right now. My worry is I'll change my mind the day of. I just have to make it through the ultrasound and I'll be good to go.

I even googled "team green pregnancy stories" to help me stay on track. As of now, I'm firmly on team green. Now I'm just worried I'll see a penis on screen on accident or the U/S tech will slip and say she or he.

We told them at the beginning we didn’t want to know, so they warned me when they’d be looking there and I turned my head.

It was 100% worth the wait. The #1 best moment from DDs birthday was MH saying “it’s a girl! A beautiful baby girl!” Before he was totally overcome and could no longer speak. Way more exciting than the nurse telling Me over the phone, there were no Y chromosomes on my blood work. No feelings there.

Ahh that's what I want! I told MH I want him to be the one to announce what the baby is. I think it'd be so amazing!

Thanks for telling me this, it's helping me stay team green.

I was just going to ask if you told them yesterday too. I can't wait to hear how it goes!

How’s everyone’s emotions? Mine are off the chart. I had some drama with my mom a few months ago and we haven’t spoken since. I thought I had made peace with it but I can tell my sadness and anger are now off the charts with it and everything else. Argh!
goldenbird I can’t wait to hear about telling your parents.

notmoose stay strong! Team green, you can do it!

[catladymeow]

kam3100 I'm sorry to hear about your drama with your mom... I used to have those kinds of episodes with my dad a lot. One time we went an entire year without talking.

My emotions were all over the place during first trimester! There were days when I would have zero patience for DS or DH and I may have ugly cried once or twice in front of DS 😭I still have days where my patience is wearing thin but it's so much better now at almost 17 weeks. These hormones are brutal!

I just cry at everything. The Olympic athlete profiles are killing me.

[goldenbird]

Oh my gosh, my heart is so full. My parents were totally surprised and thrilled. They couldn't believe it lol. My dad thought that I had just gotten them the frame and the US pic in it was the stock photo 😂. I was like no, that's your grandkid.
My middle sister was there and awake so I told her and she was really happy. Then I called my youngest sister on speakerphone and thanked her for the bottle of wine she gave me at Christmas and said I was looking forward to drinking it in August. She was like "why do you have to wait...wait, are you pregnant?!?" And she started shrieking.

My ILs could not have been more surprised because we handed them the gift bag and said it was a housewarming gift for their new house. When SMIL saw the card (Happy Valentine's Day to grandparents) she yelled, "are you really??", and FIL was already in tears. And when we said it was a boy he was just beside himself. He kept saying "we're going to be grandparents" and swiping away tears. I think we made his whole life. 🤗

We went to Red Lobster after that and I'm now stuffed and have leftovers for after work tomorrow. 👍

My mood is terrible today. I've had so much insomnia, I usually don't fall asleep until 2ish. I should pick up some Unisom

[kam3100]

goldenbird I love it!!!

If it continues to be a nightly thing for me I'm at least going to take it on the two nights a week before a day off. I can go to bed whenever and sleep in on those days. I figure if I needed a 1/2 unisom for the whole pregnancy because of nausea I would do it in a heartbeat. A couple times a week so I can get more than five hours is worth it.

goldenbird I am so happy that it all went well today!!

[kaeguri]

goldenbird, I am crying reading their reactions. So happy for you all!

My patience is next to nothing right now. I noticed that started a couple of weeks ago. I really hopes it gets better soon. I’m just over 12 weeks so FX it won’t be long. I’m just so crabby.

I’m so happy everything went so well today goldenbird!!

[goldenbird]

Thanks y'all! It was the best day!

[catladymeow]

goldenbird I'm cracking up at his thinking you just bought him a random frame with an ultrasound stock photo

[sugarskull]

Yay goldenbird!! I love their reactions, especially your FIL so cute. I'm glad it all went well.

[sugarskull]

goldenbird will this be the first grandbaby on both sides??

[catspajamas2]

Hi ladies. I’m on my much anticipated beach vacation. So far it has been a little stressful but I’m trying to find a way to enjoy it. My 4yo (5 tomorrow) is having a painful reaction to sunscreen that meant we ended up having to stay inside all day because I couldn’t apply sunscreen or let the sun shine on her without her being in pain. She is a splotchy swollen mess. This happened once when she was 2 and it went away pretty quickly so hopefully she turns a corner soon.

I have to purchase a new infant seat since our old one expires in September and the baby comes in August 🙄 Because of course.

I went into Kroger to grab a few things while MH waited in the car... when I came out I didn't see him and he didn't see me for a while. I thought I saw our car parked at the end so I walked down there... It wasn't our car. So I walked back up to the doors. He finally saw me after 10 mins. I cried because he didn't see me and I felt like an idiot. 🙈

Then I cried because I told him something and he answered me "meanly" (in reality it took him like 20 secs to answer and he said "whatever you need babe").

I am a crazy person.

Eta: wasn't done. Sorry about your drama with your mom. I have a similar issue with my dad and it still gets to me at times.

Felt the first few kicks today! I was laying on my stomach and thought it was gas at first, then I felt a little nudge again, and again in the same spot. She was having a dance party in there, because it didn't stop for several minutes.
