Crazycat I am the same way! The only reason I switched this time us because we moved! It's weird knowing someone new is going to deliver my baby. My other three were all born in the same hospital with the same doctor. Everything about this time is different but hopefully it will all go smoothly.

I need to watch your videos...I am very curious now! Such a cool job!!

From what I'm learning about the nub pictures is that it has to be on the correct side, at the correct angle, with the baby laying perfectly on his or her back, etc, in order to get a good nub shot. And even then it's not always obvious, so I would say that if you don't consider yourself an ultrasound nub-finding expert, you're probably safe to still look and not be able to tell with any accuracy. But just to be safe, make sure the tech knows you're wanting to stay team green and that you've heard about the nub theory so you'd rather not focus on that area :-)

Yeah, the videos are only part of the job, but overall, it is a really awesome job. I manage all our writers on the site and come up with content ideas and such, plus my team handles all the social media and contests. Oh, and I sometimes go to baby product shows, so I get to see and sometimes tests out the fun new products. I'm hoping we'll be going to the ABC Show this year while I'm pregnant because the various reps tend to want us to try stuff out and the last few times I went I wasn't in a position to need much of their stuff. Definitely more fun than corporate accounting, which is what I was doing before this!

[Rosie85]

Oh how amazing crazycat! Got room for one more on your team?! Haha.

Yeah I think I will just tell the tech I am team green and don't want any clues. I can't believe I am doing this but my hubby really really doesn't want to know and I wouldn't be able to keep a secret so I can't know either.

[crazycatcouple]

Yeah, there's no way I could keep the secret either! If DH didn't want to know, I'd have to go along with it as well. I think you may have said so before, but I'm guessing you haven't done the team green thing before? My mom always went team green except with one of my brothers that was considered high risk, so she got lots of ultrasounds. But back then they didn't really do them much at all, so it was easy to stay team green. It's funny though because I got my Type A/control freak/over planning personality from my mother, yet she somehow managed team green. I don't know if I could handle it, lol. I think it will probably be so much fun for you guys though, and especially your kiddos too!

[Rosie85]

Nope we haven't done team green. Found out with all 3 boys. Since its our last we wanted to do it to experience it both ways.

Is anyone else's house falling apart? I'm just too tired and lazy to clean much more than just basics. My room is a disaster!

[lala22]

I'm OCD- so life itself will fall apart before the house does. LOL

[FutureMiniMe]

My house is a disaster right now! I will put everything away tonight and have a helper come in tomorrow to clean a little bit for me. I have to clean the fridge out this weekend which should be really fun considering how strong smells have been affecting me. Yuck!

[crazycatcouple]

Ugh, cleaning out the fridge does NOT sound fun :-(

My hubby is crazy neat and is always picking things up before I'm even done with them! He's been staying on top of most things, but my clothes seem to just keep piling up by the bed where I take them off, lol.

It's my social life that has really suffered. I just don't have the energy to do anything these days. The millions of birthday parties for my daughter's friends take up any energy I have on the weekends, and I can't even seem to muster up enough to chat on the phone or hardly text, lol. In fact, we're heading out to a Dave Matthews Band concert in about an hour, and I'm dreading it! We wouldn't even go, except we already invested the money in the tickets and parking pass... I can't stand wasting money! I'm hoping I'll feel decent, but I'm worried since there's going to be so many people and smells, and it's hot and might even rain. Fun stuff.

[Rosie85]

I hope you can have fun anyway crazycat. Maybe it will take your mind off feeling crappy!

Part of my problem is that we rent a townhouse that I hate..loathe actually and maintaining it just isn't in my heart...haha. my husband is planning on moving up in his new company for his new career path so we had to take a pay cut and move across state and rent in a low income area for now. Horrible neighbors I have. In order to move up in this company though he has to move out of state at moments notice so we can't sign a new lease or buy a house. Once he does promote...hopefully in a year to two we will have a ton more money and can buy a house but the waiting is painful and poor...ha.

[FutureMiniMe]

Um, my husband and I DTD this morning and I have been crampy on and off all day since then. Is that okay?
