Mommy - you have been so positive, don't lose that!! I'm excited for you.
Mommaxo3 - were your older girls excited this baby is a girl? My oldest is really wanting our 3rd to be a girl but I swayed Blue which lately seems to be just for me!
I'll get 8 weeks paid 100% due to csection, then will take 2 weeks vacation (I get 5 weeks and yes, I'm very thankful and fortunate) and then maybe 2 weeks unpaid if I want the full 12 weeks. I don't want to sound like a terrible mom but I get antsy to go back to work. Get kinda depressed being at home towards the end. But, it's easier to send my babies to daycare/preschool because my husband is the Director there so he's there with them

LOL Ash!!!

Congrats on hearing GIRL Iwant!!!!

Pbn - cute bump. I too have a hard time thinking of Christmas in the summer. Crazy.

mommy - FXd for tomorrow!! Praying this is it. I was SUPER shocked with my BFP and almost panicked since I was totally not expecting it.

4b2p - The US is so so so far behind in maternity care and treating women better after birth. I will take 8 weeks off after birth (I work until I go into labor). I will get paid short term disability (which I pay for) for weeks. With that there is a 2 week period that you have to wait first and use vacation time for if you want to get paid. Then I will get 60% pay for 4 weeks. After that I am on my own. I accumulate 3 weeks of vacation per year, so I will not get paid for the remaining 2 weeks I will take off. I will then return for 8 weeks at half time. It REALLY sucks how women are treated in the US. It is like a punishment for having a baby.
In the past I have had a reg family Dr for giving birth, but my Dr moved away, so this time I chose a midwife clinic. They are associated with the hospital. Here we have to give birth in the hospital unless you don't make it in time. And I have always been made to push laying in the bed. It really is not good. The last time I had a med that made me very lethargic and out of it and I actually gave birth on my side. That was better than on my back. This time I will be as upright as possible since the midwives are for better positioning. We shall see.

AFM - I passed my glucose test!! And all of my blood work is good. We still have no idea why I am itching though. Baby is looking good with a hb of 147. I am now measuring 5.5 weeks ahead instead of the 4 weeks. (34week size at 29weeks). No one knows why I am so big either.

Wow Shan that's a big healthy baby!
Mommy I want to so bad but I'd have to get all the kids and go to the store the struggle is real!

Ash - I know that struggle all too well. Just not worth it. And you would have to get the kids donuts too!

[Mommy2apples]

Thanks Shann!

Yay for passing your glucose test!!

Hugs ash! Maybe talk dh into bringing you some after work!

Yes Shan lol and they can make a mess with donuts! So not worth it!
Mommy hahaha dh is home today and getting ready to leave for a trip he just looked at me when I said I want a donut. He is cracking down and "helping" me stay fit . I told him it's like the pregnant gain commercial when the lady just wants to smell gain and her husband goes to get it int he middle on the night for her no luck here!
