I told people at work yesterday that I'm pregnant after my good NT scan. All the ladies that sit outside my office are excited and want to plan another baby shower. They threw me one for DD 2 years ago so they definitely don't need to since we have everything. But I won't pass up cake!

Hiiii 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻
I have also been absent lately after a super busy weekend and also swamped at work. But am going to try and catch up. I hope y'all are doing well 😁
I feel like this might be a confession....but I am kinda hoping that someone will want to throw me another baby shower. We definitely have everything we need equipment wise but it makes me sad to think that this little nugget might not get special stuff like first blankets and things like that. Also cake, don't want to miss out on that!

I was trying to get some grading done whiLe DS naps but I was freezing cold and just wanted to cuddle up and nap too. I decided to come outside and sit in the sun and work. It would be beautiful if it wasn't so damn windy. It's finals week for two of my classes so if you need me I'm buried under this pile of grading.

And I kinda had to put together my first shower. Mil hosted after my brother offered and then reneged but she had no idea how to throw a shower so I pretty much had to put all the details together. I'm also hoping somebody will throw us an engagement party but it doesn't seem like anybody is taking the lead on that front either. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi!
I did some babysitting last week so treated myself to some online maternity clothing and makeup shopping and I just checked the tracking numbers and saw they are both here!! So will be a fun day at the post office today.
We will be in Banff 2 weeks from today, I'm so excited! It's the first time we're taking the kids! I can't wait to show them the mountains!

maddisonrose I hope we get a shower too! My family and Wife's family both threw us Skype showers for DS bc we live in FL and they live in CT and IL. I'm not super hopeful though bc my SIL is pregnant and due in August and I had to convince my mom to throw her a shower bc she didn't think they were necessary for second + children. I don't get that. It kind of makes me sad. Aren't second babies just as special?! mamamayer I work with all guys too and they actually threw me a really sweet shower for DS! I was shocked!

I threw two sprinkles last year for friends so I am hoping one of them will do one for me. My sister is going to be in town for Thanksgiving and mentioned having something then but I'm worried some people will be out of town. We had a Jack and Jill shower/BBQ for DD that was fun and I was glad that I had DH opening presents with me so I didn't have all the attention on me.

I would definitely love a sprinkle esp if we have a boy. I didn't get a work shower but I did get a few gifts from people I worked with who knew. But I won't be mad if I don't get anything.

DS has been napping for 4 hours. 2 of which on my lap. I know I need to wake him because it's late but watching him sleep melts me heart.

When I had DS2 a bunch of neighborhood moms brought us dinner for the first few weeks and it was so helpful. I don't want anything for #3 but if people want to make me dinners I'll take 'em.

I would love a sprinkle! I have 2 co-worker friends that are due at the same time (all within 3 weeks) and then a non-work friend that is due 2 days before me, so it would be fun if work did something for us and if friends did something too. We'll see though, I wouldn't be heartbroken if I don't get one. ETA: but food deliveries after baby is born? yes please!

Alright I do have a really bad confession though. On my other bmb like four of us just announced we're pregnant. One however posted a pic of a EPT that didn't look positive in the least but everyone congratulated her anyways. She then got AF like four days later and she's acting like she had a miscarriage and it's the end of the world. For starters, it didn't look positive AT ALL and second, you've only been trying for two months. There were women that went through many losses on our board and others that had tried for years (some of those were the same). I couldn't believe how over dramatic she became and it really pisses me off that she's calling it a miscarriage. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Really, Mayer?

I don't see this quoted post anymore... did it get DD'ed? I'm definitely feeling some kind of way about it.

Oh Hi, that would be me she is shit talking. Except that I've been TTC for six months, had definite positive tests, and called it a chemical pregnancy.
Was hoping I'd be a F18 member, but I guess I'll have to hope for March.
Just wanted to set the record straight.

I'm probably not going to adequately express my feelings here. Honestly, I don't care how long someone's been trying to get pregnant or the length of time that they were pregnant for. Loss is shitty no matter when it happens. Someone could literally be pregnant for one day and have a loss and they would still be fully entitled to feel whatever damn way they felt about it - sad, mad, whatever. ETA: The insinuation that someone who has "only been trying for 2 months" or that someone who "was only pregnant for 4 days" isn't entitled to be upset about their loss is leaving me feeling really icky... And angry. onelastrefrain I am so, very sorry for your loss. Your feelings are valid. I truly hope that you weren't made to feel otherwise.
