LMSM ugh two weeks! I can't wait to hear though I can't believe you've kept it this long from the girls! I felt like as soon as I got a Bfp I was noticeable pregnant [emoji12] which is why I told everyone at 8 weeks. Plus I'm impatient.
Lola ^ I think this will be the perfect bed for them not to high not to low. But you do have to pull out the bottom to sleep on then it can push back in for the day to be out of the way.

I liked this one too but it takes up a lot of space when open (like if the kids wants to do naps during day and then our placement of dresser wasn't working out with it) and i didnt like that it needed to be put out each night and in by day etc (difficult for kiddos to do i think).
We got a bunk with stairs/steps instead of ladder with stair storage. I will post a picturehttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ea9c702846.jpg

Bluebooties – oki doki- oh hell yeah, trying to establish bfing and pumping at work so soon after birth would def be hard – kudos to you for giving it a go nevertheless hon! ;)

Ash - I just wanted the girls to have something tangible to see – they are still so young 9 months could seem like forever to wait too – plus if I know gender by then (which I should) then I will be able to give them that info as well (was thinking of doing some pics of them in cute dresses and capturing their reaction on photo when I announce the gender ^^) – much more tangible to know what gender the sibling is! I’m super impatient though :D can’t wait to see their reaction! Less than 3 weeks to wait now – it feels so far away yet it will fly by I am sure ;)

Mommy – oh no, shucks – I love your positivity, that has to pay off soon! That baby is just waiting for the exact right time, and will be so, so special :awe: big :hugs:
I like your plan – FX it pays off!!

PBN – I could do the crazy lady and ring that early (and probs will haha) :rofl: - was your result 10-12 business days from draw or just calendar days? If just calendar days, then there is hope for me to have it next week :D

Bluebooties I [emoji173][emoji7] that bunk bed set!!! I was looking at low lying bunks for my boys but I knew one of them would end up pushing the other off *sigh* so I went with two single beds. Will hopefully put them in bunks though once they're older [emoji3]

Thanks LMSM !

LMSM I *think* it was business days. I got the draw on a Monday and from memory they rung me the following Friday?? So on the 10th business day? Again yours should be processed alot quicker being done is Aus

Thanks pbn3 ! I am excited about it too. We will hopefully have it delivered and set up in 2 weeks from now

Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Oooh now you got me excited I may actually have results by next week, maybe even early-mid week – EEEEEKKKKK :D

im shocked at the US system and sad that you are all being treated the way you are :( i completely forgot to mention paternity leave, here dads get 2 weeks fully paid paternity leave from the day baby is born.

love that bed bluebooties, the drawers in the side is such a clever idea! we need bunk beds and drawers for our kids once we move but they are all so expensive, especially the drawers if you want solid ones that wont break within a few months.

so exciting LMSM :D

Thanks lmsm!

lol I found out I was pregnant with Braxton while Kolton was 18 months and he was excited at first, but stopped believing after awhile I was pregnant and then got excited again at the very end!

Hi ladies, lots of talk.about mat leave.
Oz is really good personally and I'm lucky being a teacher. I get 14 weeks paid leave at my salary or you can opt to take it at half pay for 28 weeks And any school holidays that gall during your leave is not.included so you can paid your full wage again but it doesn't come out of your maternity leave. Then we can access the 18 weeks government funded minimum wage after that.
I technically got paid for an entire 12 months (took my 14 weeks at half pay over 28 weeks and got paid at full pay 6 weeks of school holidays plus 18 weeks minimum wage by the government) with my DD. I'll be doing the same again and get paid for a year off. My husband gets 1 week at his wage being a teacher also or 2 weeks at half pay then can access the 2 weeks minimum wage from the government. He had a month off (took his employer wage at half pay) when my daughter was born. I'm so sad reading how behind some countries are with mummies bonding with their babies!

Blue I like that with the trundle that's nice sometime all 4 of mine like to have a "sleepover" with each other!

Ash-I believe we bought our girls bunk beds at Big lots. They are a bit high so we now just use them as regular beds so I get wanting to see it before you buy it.

LMSM - I get trying to keep quiet about a pregnancy. You want to shout it at strangers and everyone you know lol. We waited until 11 weeks because I had a miscarriage the year before. We sat them on the couch and filmed it. I was going to show them the u/s but I didn't think they would understand fully what it was. Thankfully they aren't asking all the time when the baby will come. They did that for the first 2 weeks after telling them though, I just kept saying after your birthdays. My youngest's birthday is in December and my oldest is in January and this one will be in February. So Dec, Jan, Feb lol.

totally get keeping quiet, we dont announce at all until after the baby is born, our oldest 4 kids last time walked in after school and nursery (she was born while they were out) and met their sister and were like "whats that?..its a baby!..can we keep her?" haha though my eldest 2 did double check that we weren't swapping our then-youngest for the new one :D

thats a nice birthday pattern mommaxo3 :) ive got two who weirdly both have the same birthday 5 years apart!

Hello Ladies. This pages in our group move so fast. [emoji4]
Pbn - Such a cute bump. You look
Amazing.
LMSM - Waiting to know your result. I
m so excited. [emoji4][emoji4] And your 10th Anniversary coming. Yay. I

Mommy - Boo for af showing her face. Hugs. Come on next cycle. 🤞🤞
Shann - Awesome that you cleared your glucose test and other blood work came back normal. Such a relief.
Hope you get rid of the itching soon.
Lolla- Happy Birthday in advance my friend. Have a wonderful time at your birthday dinner.
Ash - Did you finally eat that donut? You should. No one knows the value of eating anything sweet right now better than me. [emoji52][emoji52]So indulge a little my friend. Have one for me. [emoji4]
Iwant4kids- Do you have names in mind now? [emoji175][emoji175] I bet you can't wait to start shopping. It's double the fun shopping for girls for boy moms. [emoji4]

How is everyone else doing?
Can't wait for more u/s and test results. [emoji4]
It's a super hot week here in CA. 107,109 [emoji33][emoji33][emoji33]Trying to stay cool.

Thanks Sky! [emoji1317]oh wow yes stay cool sky! That's way too hot!

https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/50268a

I know. I told dd to stay in shade at school. Sunscreen won't work for the whole time. She just started first grade so longer hours in this heat. [emoji15]


https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6513f2

That's awful, will they not keep them in the air today?

https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/50268a

sky i dont know how you cope in that heat! the temperatures you guys get blow my mind! haha anything 80+ here is considered roasting hot (and pretty rare)

Sky & LMSM-Thanks for the bday wishes! I think I'm going to do my Facebook preggo announcement on my bday tomorrow! [emoji4] I'm excited to go out for a nice dinner with DH tomorrow night & then just relax at home with a movie without distractions. I know my sweet distractions will be having a blast at my mom's house! They love going to her house!!
Sky-wow & I thought it was hot here in SC! Try to stay cool & hydrated! It seems like the heat is unbearable at times when preggo. We've had a heat index of 107 recently, but temps in the 90s. This week has been a little better though...around 88 during the day, 75/80 at night!
Ash & blue-love your bunkbed choices. I may get something like that in the future! For now, DS1 loves his queen size bed & it doubles as a guest bed when they visit.
LMSM-hope you get your results back quickly!! So excited to hear your results and how your girls react to the news!!
Blue-I nursed DS2 for 2 years & pumped at work. Luckily work ie very supportive with pumping needs, but definitely a challenge! A maintenance guy accidentally walked in on me pumping...apparently missed my "Do not disturb sign" and unlocked the door with a master key. It was an honest mistake...I'm only at that school 2 days a week, so he didn't think anyone was there & was going in to fix the air vent. AWKWARD lol!
Mommy-I'm sorry, I was really hoping the spotting would go away!! Fx for your new plan doing the trick!!

We got an email from the principal and she said they were keeping the kids inside for this week which was a relief. It's never been his bad here. These two weeks are crazy hot. I m staying in and the AC is on. [emoji4]


https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6513f2

Sky I've been pregnant all summer once delivered in august and I honestly think I handled the heat better later in pregnancy than I have this time being early pregnancy! The heat here has been crazy for august usually it's cooled down more but we've been about the same as you Lola but it does get cooler high 60s at night finally.


[emoji170](07) [emoji170](09) [emoji170](14)[emoji170](15)[emoji166] EDD 1-15-18[emoji166]

I have never seen this high temperature here before. It's 111 tomorrow and 110 on Saturday and not going to cool down until Tuesday. I guess we are staying at home for the long weekend.


https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6513f2

Thanks Lola!

Hi ladies! Doing a quick catch up!! We come home tomorrow and I'll be better about reading more.

Lola, happy birthday gorgeous!! Hope you have a fabulous time celebrating! What are you going to post on FB to announce?

Sky, wow where in Cali are you?? DH and I always talk about retiring in southern Cali for the weather. My kind of living! ;)

LMSM, I'm on pins and needles, can't wait to hear!!!

Oh, and Kat...the person next to us in the hotel has 2 older girls (9 and 12) and just had a little boy (he's 3 months old and so delicious lol). I love the look of two girls and one boy...they dot on him and are just so sweet with him. Makes me so excited for either a boy or girl!!

Happy Birthday Lola!

Good to hear from you Sky! Sorry it is so hot. Yuck. It has been in the upper 90s and low 100s all summer and I am so over the heat! Hope you stay safe in such hot weather!

Happy Friday everyone! So after everyone saying blood test is reliable I went ahead and got our gender and we are having a girl [emoji175] I will say I'm shocked (bc everything was so different at time of conceiving versus our first two pregnancies) and a tad disappointed, but I know that will go away. And I know regardless of swaying the Lord determines gender and He chose another sweet lil girl to complete our family. My husband is excited, he didn't really care either way, but I think he'd loved a boy. My oldest daughter will be over the moon happy which is exciting! I'm not ready to tell people yet, think I need some time to process.

(((HUGS kat))) Glad that baby is healthy, but sorry you did not hear boy. It will help that DH and DD1 are excited for another little girl!

Congrats Kat! Sorry you didn't hear boy, but such a blessing!

I don't know how I touched the Thankyou. [emoji12]
Aww, I think it will be a totally amazing experience even if you will have a boy. ❤️❤️We are close to San Francisco. I love California. Dh wants to move somewhere else but I just love this place sooo much.


https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6513f2

Kat - Hugs. Sorry that you didn't hear boy. My dh is the same. He doesn't care if the baby is a girl or a boy. He is just so excited. I bet the girls will be super excited.


https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6513f2

Lolla - Wishing you a very Happy Birthday Darling friend. Have a blessed year and a great night with dh without your cutest distractions. Share a pic before the dinner if you could. Enjoy your day.




https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6513f2

LMSM - Any idea about the time when you will get your results? I m also getting impatient. [emoji12][emoji12]


https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6513f2

Kat, wow!!! I'm sorry you didn't hear boy, but I'm telling you....three girls will be amazing and they'll be the best of friends. [emoji175] And I'm slightly jealous! ;)

Sky, I lived in SF for close to a year before I got married. Love it there also!!!
