laurensc927 - perhaps she can just leave the baby a voicemail? Wow. If you don't mind me asking, is she with your FIL or does she live alone? I literally laughed out loud. Backstory: MH is an adopted only child, they tried for 10 or so years but never had a successful pregnancy after 13 years they were able to adopt him. Her and FIL separated 17 years ago and she lives alone. I realize now as she talks about MH as a kid that she was (still is?) obsessed with him. For example she got mad that when we cleaned out FIL's house a few years ago we threw out some nursery school papers of MHs, in her words "you'll understand once you have this baby but if I could have kept the toilet tissue I would have." She now seems to be obsessed with this baby (not me unless she is criticizing something I'm doing like yoga or walking the dogs). She was able to get pregnant but could never stay pregnant past 12 weeks so they eventually tied her tubes so she wouldn't get pregnant anymore. Not sure if the back story makes her seem more or less crazy. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

It is hot and humid here today. Walking to my mailbox I nearly coughed up a lung and had such a hard time breathing. This summer heat can suck it.
Had my 20 year HS reunion this past weekend. It was nice to see the people who came for it. Some of the guys were posting about not coming. I told them not to let the pregnant lady punk them out...they all showed. LOL

thatgolfb - Amen to the baby containment, especially once mobile! Dump a bag of balls into it and make it a ball pit. Fantastic for toddlers AND keeps the balls somewhat contained too.

I've fallen down the baby clothes rabbit hole. I bought a Halloween onesie just in case, so of course that means I will go overdue now. Also searching etsy for coming home outfits and newborn pic outfits. Anyone have anything good? I need to look for a going home outfit, too. I was also terrible at this the first time around. DD wore a duck fleece sleeper lol. We do sleepers too. This one will be a fleece sleeper. They are just easier. I will need a monkey one and some sort of girly option.

Hi friends! So we had our ultrasound and baby had 3 vessels in his cord! I'm so relieved to hear this news and ready to embrace this pregnancy. The little stinker must have been hiding it. He will hear about this when he is older. Thank you all so very much for your support. Heck yeah! Amazing news!

OMFG this baby is moving in such a weird way. WTF are you doing in there?!?!
But in other news DD has been really cute about the baby lately. Today she wanted to hug it so she kept cuddling my belly. 😍
She will also randomly point to my belly and say "you got a baby in there!" 😂

Plus it gives you a built in conversation.

Is anyone getting irrationally annoyed? Is pregnancy an excuse?
I was in a waiting room yesterday and there was a family there. The kids were so loud and causing havoc. The mom was tuned out on her phone. I just got up and left because I couldn't stand it. I wanted to tell her to be a parent. I have seen this family before and same thing. Loud, out of control kids. Sometimes kids have a lot of energy, but when I saw the kids turning things over and the mom not paying attention, I just couldn't tolerate it.

That's so sweet thatgolfb! Ds3 is a little too young to totally "get it" but he'll say things like "baby can't have cookie. Choke" or "babies cry" or we will ask him what are you going to do with baby Asher? And he'll say things like "play on swing" "play soccer" or "give him hugs" 😍 He's learning from his older brothers how to be the best big brother ever.

I am really excited for DD to be a sister. I think she is going to rock it. A couple days after I showed her the last ultrasound pic, she asked "can we take a picture of the baby?" LOL. I said only the doctor can do that for now, but once it is out, we can take lots of pics. She said "okay!" Haha.

I'm waiting for my OB appointment. My doctor just delivered a baby so she's running late, on her way from the hospital. It's the nature of the biz, I suppose.

In my mind I'm always like, "how dare that other woman have her baby during normal business hours. Doesn't she know my phone is about to die? What will I do with myself while I wait then?"

I had some bleeding this morning and am waiting on a call back from the nurse line. Baby is being wiggly and I'm assuming that's a good sign. I haven't had any since first tri-very beginning of second, so it took me off guard. I may have just overdone it yesterday, yoga, intense cleaning, treadmill, and on top of my general stuffiness.
