We had our NT scan today and baby is perfect! They were very active and uncooperative.
A\S is scheduled for 9/25! I can't wait to show DD the pictures of her baby sibling 😍 going to pick her up from DC in a bit. We took a half day. My H and my dad are working on the sunroom and I did schoolwork.

I wish I remembered when the exhaustion stopped last time. At 17+1 I'm still falling asleep at my desk every afternoon at around 3/4.

I am always full of infant related UOs.
Trigger warning: SIDS talk
I sort of lost it in the comments of a Romper article claiming that Owlets prevent SIDS. They absolutely do not. None of those devices do. They may catch apnic episodes or, in the case of the article, arrythmias, but babies do not need to be monitored for these things by an over the counter use at home device. It just kind of bothers me. I don't judge people who have them or use them, but at least know what it is for if you are going to use it.

G didn't nap. I was tired to begin with. She made a mess of puzzle pieces all over my living room floor. I don't even care. It's an hour until bedtime and I can't wait.

UO piggy backing off of a UO last week (I think). Pregnant bellies kind of weird me out. I don't want any maternity pictures besides the weekly ones I take myself and I don't share those with anyone...except maybe you ladies. I'm also not a fan of having professional pictures taken of baby every 3 months. I can think of other things to spend my money on.

I'm also not a fan of having professional pictures taken of baby every 3 months. I can think of other things to spend my money on. I have never had maternity pics taken and I don't really regret it. One thing I do want to do this pregnancy though is a bare belly mirror selfie right before delivery. I think it would be a good self esteem motivator post baby when I am feeling down about my belly flab (and on my first BMB I was apparently just about the only person who did not do this). We spring for a professional photographer once a year just so we have photos of all of us together. She is my local friend from my BMB and she charges me next to nothing so it is not even a huge splurge. I started doing this after I went to do our Christmas card the year DD1 was born and had literally zero pictures of all three of us.

It's almost dinner time for the little, bath will be quickly followed. Hopefully this kid sleeps tonight, he was up 3 times last night wanting milk! I think he's going though a growth spurt, plus it's hot sooo he just might be thirsty! Who knows! I can't wait to veg on the couch.

My aunt told me today that she has a gender prediction theory that has been 100% accurate in her trials so far. When I asked her what it was she said "well, if the baby is a boy the mom looks great and beautiful and glowing, and if it is a girl the mom looks haggard and old and tired."
Oh. (expecting my third girl)

pinkcat misspatty Happy Anniversary! Love the announcement pinkcat! Nothing too exciting going on. The first week of work after vacation is always sooo long. Last night Wife and I were laying in bed and I was laying on my side facing her and the baby was very active. She said she could feel it move. I know I can feel it move. But I'm 17 weeks. Would it even be possible for someone to feel it externally at this point?? I've been thinking about this this week as I can feel the odd little tap from the outside but I wasn't sure if it was because I could feel it so definitively from the inside now. Last night it happened again so I laid really still and H sat with his hand where I thought I could feel it and I felt a big push right when he said "is that it?" So yes, I guess it's possible! (I'm 17w3d today)

It was a Godsend for me personally.

Just know that it won't save your baby from SIDS (in fact, I am not sure they claim to prevent or save from anything). I am neurotic enough to be the exact opposite, I know having one would drive me nuts.
