I know he's all ready eyeing that blue and maize gear for our little one!

we try to go to at least one game a year, but i don't know if we will be able to make it this year... there are just waaaay too many steps to climb for a pregnant lady

my favorite jersey that i have is Tim Biakabatuka's, he played for Michigan and then came to play for Carolina Panthers... he doesn't play anymore, but still lives in Charlotte and owns a jewerly store here

Cat-that little Polo outfit you bought is the cutest thing ever! Does anyone know when the Anniversary sale ends at Nordstrom (MM Im sure you do!) I want to see if I can wait until I find out forsure!!

Maggie01-Wow! Thursday is an exciting day! You are over 18 weeks, so now Im getting nervous that I'm going in so early! (oh well, maybe the plan if they cant see something clearly will be great since I will have to go back!!) Also, you must have missed the post a few weeks back, but my doctor actually guessed boy, so now we're waiting to see if he was right or not!

Peach-The round ligament pain bothered me for about a week and it then went away. I would have sharp shooting pains and a dull achy pain mainly on my left side. (not sure what thats about) I did end up taking Tylenol one night because I couldn't sleep. Our OB said it was completely normal.

Boston-Did you sleep any better last night? Im sorry you're in pain. Im not in any pain, but I still wake up 5 times a night to pee. Drives me insane and Im tired everyday..DH and I think we will have a night owl baby and mother nature is trying to get me ready. (ughh)

Speaking of things moving and stretching...Have you all felt the positioning of your ribcage lately? Its so weird. It feels like I've been cracked open for heartsurgery. Feel in the middle there where the ribcage is supposed to meet up. Does it seem further apart? That's so crazy.

Where's Joy? How's our girl(s)??

Ok, taking a shower to meet up with Peachy in a bit. Gotta hit the stores!! YIPPIE!!

[maybebaby]

Yeah!!! Congrats Robin!!
I will be back later to "talk" to everyone else!

[iluvmy2mutts]

Boston- Hope you are feeling better today!

Havana- OMG! I felt my ribcage, in the middle, and you are right. It does feel like it has spread apart!! Weird.

Cat- My little baby will be living in plain onesies till we go shopping for it's gender clothes. Bummer
So Nordstroms sent it via post office & then UPS? Or USPS (United States Postal Service)?

JustPeachy & Havana- We want to hear all the details on your shopping trip! Have fun girl's. I am so jealous!

Thanks, ladies! I did sleep a little better last night. Sleeping on my right side is more tolerable than my left side....somehow I miraculously stayed on my right side last night...but it still wasn't very comfy.

[cat915]

peachy and havana, i want an update after the shopping trip pronto! for those of us stuck at work drooling over the idea of baby shopping!

the anniversary sale goes until august 6th i believe, but don't worry there will be other sales before we are due

Nathalie- they shipped it dhl but the dhl tracking stops at delivery to the post office? i'm confused, like wondering if they couldn't find me and are shipping it back? I called nordstrom- They ship dhl to the usps relatively in your area. I'm rather confused by this. Seems like they could just ship completely post office and it would take about the same amount of time.

I’m going to start a start ICSI comparison chart!

Havana- My mom LOVED the ultrasound - Your mom will be thrilled!

Cat- those outfits are adorable!!!

Peachy - I have endo. But I haven’t had those cramps YET, like Maggie my sciatic is acting up though!

Maggie- curious to hear your results! I have a feeling I’m having a boy! I have felt that way early on

Nathalie & Boston- How are you ladies feeling today?

[JustPeachy]

We're Back!! Actually, I hate to disappoint but it was a relatively calm afternoon. We had to do lunch first (yummy pizza and salads) and then hit the baby store. Havana has real work going on today so we only made it to one store. It's still hard to shop until you know for sure what the gender is going to be. Only 48 more hours for Havana. We saw a few cute boy bedding options and were trying hard not to drool over all the adorable girl stuff. We did see some very cute boy clothing and really nice knit sweaters, onesies, and sleep sacks. What else... we're both torn between getting a real bassinet or the arm's reach for our bedrooms when the baby is a newborn. We looked at both options today. So, we've both decided our big purchases for the month is going to be bedding. Havana helped me vote between my three boy favorites and this one is leading the pack but I have to find a place in Atlanta to go see the bedding in person....
Bedding:
House Inc. Neapolitan Blue and Circus Stripe 3 Piece Crib Set - Children - - - Layla Grayce - Detail
Crib:
Stanley Ma Marie Antique Black Built To Grow Crib - Children - Layla Grayce - Detail

Boston - You're not the last to find out. I am I have to wait until Aug 15th. Thanks for the feedback on the endo and the ligament pains. I have a feeling this is why mine are so strong too. We'll be the two old ladies shuffling around this pregnancy.

Nathalie - We wish you could be here too! I did sleep better last night. I resorted to a tylenol pm (on the OB ok list) and propped pillows as support between my legs and under my stomach. I do think it helped.

Cat - I hope your Nordstrom clothes come soon. How annoying!

Robin - Glad to see the credit card is ready to go today. Go blue!

Peachy - I think that bedding is adorable! I love the bedding that doesn't scream "baby!" And I have also fallen in love with the Stanley Young America line of convertible cribs. I love that they can transform into toddler beds and then into a double bed as the child grows. Baby Furniture, children's furnishings, bedding for baby and child and more at PoshTots also has them....not sure if the price is any different.

Robin - thanks for sharing the u/s photo! Yep, no mistaking that you've got a little boy!! hahaha

[JustPeachy]

Robin - Oh my goodness!! It took me just a second to figure out that the view was right between the two legs (a butt shot) but boy is that a boy!

Boston - Thanks for the link. There is a local store here that has the crib and it's really nice in person. Plus, they'll arrange for delivery and setup. But, your website showed it with a fun trundle option that would be great for down the road. I'll have to look into that. Does it feel like FOREVER until we find out??

Oh, good! I'm glad there is a store near you that carries it! There is huge furniture store near me that carries that line and I'm dying to check it out in person....I think anything can look good on-line but, I need to see furniture in person before I buy it.

Yes, it does feel like forever until we find out!! I think it seems so far away for me because my DH will be gone for almost the entire time! While he's having fun on his bike trip, I'll be counting down the hours at home until we find out if we're having a boy or girl!

[maybebaby]

I have my first OB appointment tomorrow i hope i like him! i will be in around 11:30 a.m

Have a great evening ladies!
