[littlelion]

Week/Fruit/Team: 14w/troll doll/Blue!

Symptoms: Backache is the most constant one these days. 

Appointments This week?: Nope

Rants/Raves/Questions: I saw family and friends this weekend and told them about being team blue.  It was annoying but expected the "oh, too bad it isn't a girl" sentiment.  What surprised me was more than one person said I should try again (esp when I mentioned I wanted to tie my tubes when I had this baby).  These were older women so I was surprised that knowing my history and my age they'd encourage another pregnancy for me. 

GTKY: In honor of the first day of summer, what is something you are looking forward to this summer? Not much planned. But I am looking fwd to going to MI to the beach next weekend with my younger sister. It was our favorite summer tradition esp going with all the girl cousins.

GTKY: In honor of the first day of summer, what is something you are looking forward to this summer?

[mrsp121308]

Week/fruit/team: 16w2d/dill pickle/team green

Symptoms: feeling pretty good!

Appointments this week? Nothing until July

Rants/Raves/Questions: Hearing people talk about the "oh don't you wish baby was a boy?" Or "are you going to try again for a girl?" just solidifies my team green decision. I'll never understand why people need to make comments all the time.

GTKY: In honor of the first day of summer, what is something you are looking forward to this summer?
I'm finally down to my last 3 classes towards my Associates Degree, so I'm looking forward to completing that!! And going to the pool almost every day.

[Deleted]

Symptoms: starting to feel better. Less nausea most days

Appointments This week?: Nothing for another 2 weeks.

Rants/Raves/Questions: we've started telling people last weekend. MIL went on and on about why did we wait so long to tell her. DH finally called her today and told her about our previous loss and told her to shut it. She drives me crazy, I'm so glad she lives 2 hours away.

GTKY: In honor of the first day of summer, what is something you are looking forward to this summer? The last day of summer. I hate the heat.

[requiressnacks]

mrsp121308, I don't blame you for being team green. I think it makes complete sense with #3!

[hmr11913]

Week/Fruit/Team: 15 weeks – Pear – GREEN!!!!!!!! (Holy SH*T!)

Symptoms: Still have a small amount of brown spotting, no other real symptoms other than exhaustion and heartburn.

Appointments This week?: F/u ultrasound on my SCH on Friday. Can’t wait to see the little squish again!

Rants/Raves/Questions: We are getting dilly bars today at work – thank you employer!!!!!! I hope I get a cherry one, my fav.

GTKY: In honor of the first day of summer, what is something you are looking forward to this summer? Spending time outside with G and DH, getting her pool put up and finishing the remodeling on our house.



littlelion – I’m with mrsp121308… I really hate when people assume that just since you have one (or two, or more) of the same sex that you NEED to have the other…. Like, oh, are you going to try for a girl/boy next? How do you try for a certain sex. So annoying!

requiressnacks – How did your appointment go yesterday? I’ve been a little MIA and I think may have missed your update??

tbonequeen13 – YES to a/c…… how do people live without it! We typically have ours on all summer unless it gets into the low 70’s with a cool breeze. We have a really large dog and he gets super hot really easily. Plus DH can’t sleep in the heat!

brit365 – 4D ultrasound?? That sounds amazing! Good luck!!! I think we’ve only seen 3D???

Lucy – Sorry that you’re still puking

@kcnumbers – that is strange that you’d get a bill already; I work for a large insurance company and most providers do global billing.

[requiressnacks]

hmr11913, the appointment went great! Babies are looking good. Thanks for asking!

hmr11913 the bill was for my ultrasound and N/T scan which is billed differently than my OB cost. I'm just glad it's all going towards our deductible! Do you happen to work for anthem?!

Are you sure it was a bill and not an EOB? Sometimes they look similar... I don't work for Anthem however we have BCBS for our personal insurance too and they always send me EOBs after every appointment, even when it's globally billed?

Yep I got bills from the hospital. I checked my EOBs on anthems website too. One of the bills is less than the amount on the EOB. Whatev.

Hmmmm. Strange. Not sure what to tell ya there. If that's the same place that you always go, you could ask them if they bill globally next time you're there. Seems strange that they aren't.

[hmr11913]

I go to a large hospital as well and the u/s department is not in the same department as my OB. The u/s department I believe serves for ALL the OB's there(and there's like 20+) ... but I suppose every hospital is probably different so all you can do is ask. That does really suck though. Ugh. I'd rather receive one large bill at the end and make payments.

[sdgal]

Week/Fruit/Team: 13 weeks 2 days/ pea-pod or jalapeno/ Team Blue!

Symptoms: nothing except tight pants

Appointments This week?: Appt was yesterday, heard the heartbeat

Rants/Raves/Questions: I don't think I'll have another ultrasound until the Anatomy scan in August. Boo

GTKY: In honor of the first day of summer, what is something you are looking forward to this summer? We just got back from our Yosemite camping trip and it had its ups and downs. I guess I like the longer days, more sunlight, and getting a chance to actually do something after getting home from work.

[sdgal]

littlelion, sorry folks were being stupid about the "another boy" stuff.

I have a friend who is having her 2nd boy, and they are planning on being done. I am lucky to be the recipient of all her hand-me-downs since our kids will be about 5 months apart.

When I told my best-friend that we were Team Blue on Sunday, she was bummed because she was hoping for a girl just because the stuff is cuter. Then we were shopping and she made more comments about the lack of cute boy stuff. But she started coming around when she was able to get him "baby's first Star Wars shirt".

Week/Fruit/Team: 15w1d/Eclair or Navel Orange/Finding Out

Symptoms: Tired, round ligament pain and nosebleeds (ugh).

Appointments this week?: Regular appointment on Wednesday, anatomy scan on 7/18. So excited!

Rants/Raves/Questions: All is well so far, but trying to plan work and personal travel has turned into an ordeal. I just want everything scheduled so I'm prepared.

GTKY: In honor of the first day of summer, what is something you are looking forward to this summer? Swimming! We recently moved to a house with a pool, and I plan to take full advantage this summer.
