October 2013 babies!

[xokatietatie]

We've already told our parents and siblings and a couple close friends. We won't tell the rest of the world for a while longer though.

That's like us, we've just told a few close friends, parents and sisters. Everyone else will be much later.

On a side note, I had already gotten rid of all of our newborn clothes before DH agreen to TTC again. I thought it would be good to pick up some sales since the baby will be due in October and the winter stuff is on clearance. I went today after work and just couldn't bring myself to get anything pink or blue. I felt I was jinxing myself, even though I can return later in the year if needed. I know I'd be heartbroken bringing back pink stuff in October... So my compromise is I went and bought some new pink undies for myself. LOL Trying to force the pink up to my uterus. LOL

This was so funny! I wouldn't be brave enough to buy pink yet either.

I know! The practical side says to go on and take advantage of the sales. I can get super cheap stuff. I saw the most adorable dresses that would be perfect for Christmas, but I would be so sad to have to return them.... I think it's a much safer bet for me to pay more later this year.

I've told my parents, sisters and a couple of friends. Going to wait until at least 12 weeks, if not longer to tell everyone else.

I'd be too scared to buy any girls clothes before I know what I'm having. But then I think, well I didn't buy any girls clothes when I was pregnant before and I ended up having boys, maybe I ought to this time and I'll be more likely to have a girl!
I know this girl who was in hospital having her 4th boy, and the woman in the bed beside her had 3 boys already and had only packed pink clothes, even though she didn't know what she was having. She said she was putting pink on the baby no matter what. She had a girl!

I don't even like pink, If I have a girl I'll probably be putting blue on her more often!

The day we found out we were expecting DH and I went and bought the cutest baby blanket. It's very gender neutral, and I am in love with it! I have also bought a couple gender neutral sleepers -- one duckie, one froggy, and one that will be perfect for next Christmas. It's red and gray striped and has a little reindeer on it. I found it on the clearance rack in 3 month size and couldn't resist grabbing it. Aaaaand, I am so ashamed to admit that I have bought some girl things!!! I love shopping at Target (it's more of a sick addiction than a love). Every single time we would go in there I would walk past the baby clothes, even long before I was pregnant. There was this little 3 piece set for a girl that I just loved. I would stop and stare at it every single time I went in there. The day I found out I was pregnant DH and I made a stop at Target and I was broken-hearted when I couldn't find the outfit anymore. We shopped around a little and as we were walking to the front of the store I happened to glance over and I spotted ONE outfit on the clearance rack. I said to DH I didn't care that we didn't know the sex yet, I HAD TO HAVE THAT OUTFIT!!! He said to just go for it.

Just got the phone call with my lab results from yesterday's blood work. My beta hCH went from 488 last Tuesday to 5,862 yesterday!
