On Wednesday I'll know if I'm all set on baby clothes or if I have sorting and shopping to do. I kept all DD's stuff and she was a May 2015. So the season will be almost exactly right since this one should be late April.
It's too easy for it to be a girl.
This has to be a boy.

It's too easy for it to be a girl. This has to be a boy. Every time another one of us turns team blue I'm 🤔 where are the girls?? Irl I have 3 friends(OOS) due close to me and all of us are having boys!! Most everyone else I know had their babies in November; 3 girls and a boy. My two BFFs that live here are overdue and due tomorrow; one boy and the other the mom thinks boy also. Then OOS friend having twins anytime, I'm guessing girls because where are they?? |

Good luck at your scan today yianna! I am still on the gloomy gus bus. I've felt so nauseous the past two days. I think I overdo it on Saturdays and really pay for it on Sundays (and apparently Mondays). I hate it though. I just want to go back to bed, but I have to WFH and watch a toddler. Ugh. I need someone to just meal plan for me because absolutely everything sounds disgusting. I invited ourselves over to our parents this weekend so I don't have to cook one night. |

There have been so many boys lately! My bff is team green and due two days after me so if I have a boy I hope she has a girl so I can unload these clothes 😂😂 |

alwayscheese, yes, they’ll fax them over immediately. But H is off on Wednesdays & both appointments were early enough that I only had to make childcare arrangements for the toddler. Now, I need to figure out who can get the big kid from school in case I’m not home in time.

So the season will be almost exactly right since this one should be late April. It's too easy for it to be a girl. This has to be a boy. I thought the same thing. DD1 is May 8. This one is due April 22. I thought NO WAY I'd be 'lucky' enough to recycle her clothes. I was wrong. My boys are in the same season, too. Sept 15 and Oct 22. I was able to recycle back then, too. |

tinyjoys wow your BIL sounds like a real winner. Normally I’d take pizza over hosting but apparently your situation is the exception that proves the rule. auri I’m not even sick and I’m sitting on the “im done” bench with you. Can i just have a tiny newborn to snuggle please? This is taking forever. GL to everyone with appointments today!!! Keep us posted please.

I seriously have like 10+ packages being delivered today. I feel like I'm going to be shamed by my delivery men.
I decided to try the maternity StitchFix and I just peaked at the items that were shipped, I already know I'm not keeping any of them. Oh well, good for my wallet I guess.

Good luck to everybody who has appointments/scans this week. I have an OB appointment this afternoon and a MFM appointment tomorrow morning. The MFM was supposed to be this morning, but I had to reschedule due to DH's schedule changing.
I think I am also on team I want to be done with this pregnancy. I enjoy all the movement, but my anxiety has been through the roof, and every little thing instantly makes me jump to the worse case scenario and it doesn't help that I am high risk.
I've been so unproductive at work because I can not focus.

Does anyone have any tips for getting through the grocery store (or life in general) until birth? I'm so fucking tired of having make polite small chat about the contents of my uterus with random old ladies who can't NOT talk a pregnant woman.
On Friday night I was approached by, no lie, 6 different people. The last one just abruptly stuck her face in mine and goes YOU'RE GLOWING. I just stared at her for a second, said thanks, and quickly walked away. Fucking creepo.
Also on Saturday my MIL did the awkward thing where she bent down and said goodbye to my stomach.
omg I hate everyone

calendula I survived last time by always wearing my biggest winter coat. It sort of concealed it. Also, step up your resting bitch face game. My MIL was also a belly busy body. . I put a stop to that ASAP. Don't touch me unless invited. If you're talking to the belly that is fine, but the baby can hear you from where you are. It's still my belly.

calendula i'm impressed you got a workout in after the night you had - hoping today is a fast one for you! re: people's comments - work on the resting bitch face. jk kind of. mine is pretty bad and i have yet to be bothered when i'm out. i probably just jinxed myself though. clementine sorry about your 1 hr. i failed with a 139 last tim (cut off was 135 - i thought i only failed by a point but whatever) and passed my 3 hr with flying colors. hopefully you have the same luck! tinyjoys sorry about the il drama. going through the same kind of thing here with mine 😐 sil was given 3 different options to celebrate and she has an issue with everyone of them. auri and cornpop you guys can't seem to catch a break - sending all the anti-nausea vibes your way. cp3 i hope you feel better too!

calendula I go super early if possible or schedule a grocery pickup at our Walmart. I also usually wear headphones if I’m by myself and enjoy a podcast. DNW to talk to people. Usually DD either distracts people from me or is misbehaving enough that people stay away.

Good morning! I feel like it's going to be a dead sprint from now till we fly out for Christmas. And DH just told me he may be flying to the east coast for work for a few days next week. Whaaaaat. Good luck to everyone with ultrasounds and waiting on results this week! I think I'll be doing my GD test at the end of the week so I'm joining you. Rama How did your a/s go?? cornpop Bummer that nothing looks like your style. Maybe once you try them on something will surprise you? |

So update from my anatomy scan: baby looks great and we got all the pictures we needed! Iggy was folded in half, because of course, so that was kind of hilarious. The tech at one point was like, "Legs, face, legs, face," because my kid's head was between their knees. We all laughed. Then they started rubbing their face on their feet while we were trying to visualize their lips, so we moved along to other structures while we waited for them to stop being a turd.
However. My cervix is a tiny bit short. 2.9cm or 2.5cm with pressure. We did a fFN test, which came back negative, so the likelihood I'll go into premature labor in the next two weeks is very small (<1%), but I can't help being irrationally nervous about it anyway. It certainly doesn't help that last night, Iggy wasn't moving as much or as strongly as usual and I had/have horrible pressure-y/bloaty/gassy/something-y pain in my pelvis, so I'm of course at the furthest side of doom. I'm about 70% sure it's either poops/gas or BH or RLP, but my brain isn't liking my logic.
I would like to join team #readyforbirth just on the principle of this pregnancy making me crazy.

I would be a bit insane about this as well. Are they going to monitor you a bit more closely, now? With the negative fFN, they feel like it is okay to keep the schedule we're currently on, which is already quite a bit (I alternate between OB and MFM, so I have appointments approximately every other week atm). I'm trying my best to be zen about it, but it's so hard. Brains can GTFO. |

Yes I'm wearing my think winter coat(Oya 50° so I'm roasting😣) and hoping I just look really fat lol. Who would have thought I'd ever wish that! But I found little Debbie oatmeal sandwiches in my car. Winning!! |

Speaking of pregnancy brain, I know I sometimes call my girls each other's names, but this morning I called myself DD#1's name. I'm losing my mind.

Rama i'm glad you had a good scan. at least they are aware of your cervix so they can keep an eye on it. i'm sorry you are feeling anxious. i was just thinking about how i live in mn and have a big coat on when i go out so that is probably why i haven't gotten any comments...but i see that has been covered!

Rama, I'm sorry about all the anxiety. At least they are aware of your cervix being shorter and can keep a close eye on it. Speaking of boys though...I just found out that one of our friends is pregnant and due 3 weeks after me. She's also having a little boy.

Thanks, guys. The PgAL and PAIF brains are just giving me a rough time right now. I think I'll bounce back when I'm not so stressed out with the holidays and the tenant and all that jazz.
Re: everyone being pg with boys -- my former coworker is due a day before me with a boy. Statistically speaking, I'm having a girl, right? Except everyone so far is pegging Iggy as a boy (except me). ^_^;;

I know it comes with the team green territory but i wish people would stop guessing the sex of this baby. WHY DO YOU CARE. It’s a weird way of commenting on how my body looks and I’m NAF.
