Yawn...Good Morning, Ladies! (or I SHOULD say good afternoon, right??) I've been sleeping so horrible that I finally caught up on my sleep this morning, and slept til 11:00! Woo-Hoo! Can I just tell you that I am now wanting either:
A) a catheter B) to move my blanket and pillows to the bathroom and sleep on the potty C) a bedpan so I can just pee in the bed. Im thinking "C" bedpan so I can pee in the bed sounds like the best! I dont know what has happened, but I am now waking up at least 4 times to pee in the middle of the night. When this baby starts driving me nuts, I tell my DH that its HIS baby! Now between the constant peeing and the stupid antibioics (aka must be valium) I am a walking zombie. Are you ladies looking as crazy as me? I now have what I am calling my 'house outfit'. Peach and I bought it at the old navy and it is made out of towel material and is this shorts /tubetop one piece what I call my disco outfit. All I need is tube socks and rollerskates and Im good to go. My hair is insane and I cant remember if I brushed my teeth. Ok -gross. Help me! I cant turn into an old (fat and pregnant) bag lady!!! AHHH! Alicia-so glad to hear that the babies are measuring right on schedule and that you heard the heatbeats. That is so exciting! Sorry to hear about the bleeding. Im just glad it sounds like there is nothing to worry about. Boston-countdown is here-only 24 more hours until you tell your parents. Do you have the frame all ready? Are you going o wrap it like a present? They are going to be so excited!! First grandbaby!! Robin-I'm hoping good weather for you tomorrow! You and DP are going to be the stars of the show!! Oh and hope you make it through the day! Joy-Gosh! Another blood vessel?? I am so sorry! I hope you start to feel better soon! Those babies sure arent letting you forget they're in there!! At least all the statistics say that if you have lots of m/s that your babies are healthy!! Cat-I hope you feel better soon!! Did you eat breakfast this morning? I have discovered nutrigrain whole grain and blueberry waffles. yum! Peach-So exciting about your doppler! The tracking info said I should get mine on Thursday. The 4th is messing up my delivery!! Ok hope you can get through the day ladies, at least you can sleep in tomorrow!!

Thanks, Alicia. What you did for you mom was really sweet!! I know my parents will be thrilled (it's their first grandchild)...I know my mom will cry because that what she does but, my dad isn't a very outwardly emotional guy...if he starts tearing up like he did at my wedding, I think I'll lose it too! hahaha

Havana, your posts are always so hilarious! I am picture you in all your disco diva glory! hahaha When I am at home, I basically have been living in my PJs or this one pair of lightweight sweats I have. You're so lucky you were able to sleep in today. It has been SO difficult for me to wake up and get my butt in gear the past few mornings. My DH better let me sleep in tomorrow (if he knows what's good for him!) I don't have the frame yet..I'm going to go shopping for one after work today. If I can't find a baby frame I like I have seem some "my grandparents" frames around that are cute and I'll put this great picture of my parents from my wedding in there...and then it will go in the baby's room once we start decorating. But, that's my back up plan. If you don't hear from me on Thursday, it's because my mom was so excited she knocked me over with an extremely enthusiastic hug and crushed me (just like she did when she took my Brownie troop roller skating when I was a little girl...she fell on top of me and I was flattened like Wile E. Coyote....hahaha).

So girls I am feeling pretty wiped out today. The strangest thing happened last night. DH and I were sound asleep and at 3 a.m. when all of a sudden the light in our bedroom came on! Of course I flew out of bed and couldn't figure out what the h*ll. I went and pushed the button to turn it off got back in bed and it came on again. SO up and turned it off again then into the bathroom to pee and it came on again. THEN the alarm system at our house starts going off. We have completely remodeled the house and DH swears that it is posessed! Anyway ... he was laughing at me because he says that I looked so funny standing there naked (TMI - I'm hot when I sleep) and confused. We have to get if figured out before bedtime tonight!
Havana... don't you have to take that whole disco outfit down to go to the bathroom? I am making frequent trips all day and night. I bet you look pretty cute in it though. We should call you rollergirl. Joy... broken bloodvessels suck. I broke them on both sides of both eyes when I delivered DD. I looked like I had red stripes across both of them. I hope the m/s lets up soon. Seems like there is something that you can take to help with the nausea that doesn't affect the babies? Cat... hope you feel better soon too. Peachy... I am jealous of your doppler. Maybe once we hear the heartbeat I will break down and get one too. Are you thinking that it's worth it? Robin & Boston.... Best Wishes on your announcements tomorrow. It will be a great day I'm sure! Happy 4th everyone.

Havana, I love the outfit description! LOL! I was so proud of myself this morning for blow drying my hair and then I get in the car to realize i didn't put on any makeup (i have horrible under eye circles) and I look pretty scary. Seems like I can only remember 1 thing in the morning.
Boston- i love plan A & plan B. I think my plan is for my dd to tell my father. "What's in mommy's tummy" "Baby!" Just not sure when yet. We were/are trying to wait till after cvs test but unless i go into seclusion for 2 weeks I don't know if that's possible. I told a couple friends last night and they said "we know, we were just waiting for you to tell us" figures... Oh, and I was in target and they have some xs maternity -- not a lot but there were a couple cute sweaters, some cute polo tees and a couple tankinis that were cute. I bought a lightweight 3/4 length sweater (it's a little fancier and will work well for almost anything- except peachy's black tie wedding) Vanessa- that would FREAK me out and I wouldn't be sleeping for the rest of the night. I guess you got the alarm system to go back off. Did you have any electrical storms in the area? Maybe a weird surge?

Good luck with Old Navy!!! I definitely got some cute casual things there...nothing I can really wear to work yet but, I'm still searching. I love the casual stuff I bought though!! I also thought about the 2 showers...and it made me laugh...the shower my MIL would throw for me would just have 4 people there (including me and my MIL)...that's how small my DH's family is. It will all work out... Enjoy the NT test on Thursday!!! You'll be amazed at how much your little one is moving around in there!!

That will be a cute way to let your father know the news!! I can understand wanting to wait until after the CVS test to share the news with everyone....look how long I waited to tell people!  Thanks for the info about Target, maybe I'll take a look there this weekend!Vanessa - I would have been SO freaked out! Get that electrician back there!! I know someone that built a new house and strange things were happening with electrical stuff. They found out that their house was wired backwards (whatever that means) and it could have started a fire and burned the house down! Sorry...not to freak you out (as if last night's magic lights didn't freak you out enough)...just make sure you get it checked out to make sure everything is OK!

I LOVE looking at that stuff! There are some cute boutiques in the city that I have seen the CUTEST bedding at....it's more modern and non-traditional baby bedding. I'm not drawn to the typical pastel bunnies and ducks stuff...I think it's cute...I'm just not a bunnies and ducks kind of gal. Everytime I have to buy my friends a baby shower gift I wander into these stores and just oooh and aaaah over the bedding. hahahaha I can't wait to start shopping...I all ready have my eye on a few cribs (how will I ever decide?!)I also like looking at Baby Furniture, children's furnishings, bedding for baby and child and more at PoshTots so fun to browse all of the baby sites!

our crib was a hand-me down so I didn't get to choose but *if* this is another girl, I'd be tempted to buy a new crib that's all white
I LOVE the white cribs and since the room is already yellow, I have plans to make it yellow & white if this is a girl. (it's a girly yellow) but if it's a boy we'll prob make it green. Of course, it would make more economical sense to use the wood one we have again and just go buy a new big girl bed for my dd... don't go out of your way to get to a target, just if you happen to be in one, take a look. It's really hit or miss there.
