Dance Party Friday

[mrscatfarmer13]

[mom2boxers]

Awake early today. LO was hungry at 4:45 and I was ready by 5:30. At least I had time to do my dishes, right? Coffee please.

[mrscatfarmer13]

I just applied for 2 internal positions. Both would be a lateral move, but ultimately give me better exposure and opportunities. I'm not sure which one I would rather, hopefully the choice is made for me.

mom2boxers all the coffee for you

I'm calling out the pregnants
becole I'm assuming you have an appointment today. Feel free to update us on the status of your cervix, lol.

vlagroupie how are you feeling now that the move is over? I'm sure you have plenty to unpack, but at least the major stuff is finished.

ladytiffany24 How far along are you now, and what is your edd? I feel like your coming up on 20 weeks, but your presence here is so sporadic that I could be way off.

lindsay have you scheduled your 1st appt yet? Do you know if they will do a dating u/s?

[JoBub]

Good morning!

Half day today. Then I have to unload a bunch of boxes to the storage unit and get my house cleaned up so our realtor can come take pictures while we're gone this weekend. Plus a few other errands.

I'm excited to go to my parents' house this weekend. It's going to be perfect fall weather.

[becole]

Still 2 cms. Membranes stripped. She was pushing for an induction because my labor should be quick. But I declined at 39 weeks. Said I may sign up at 40.

[bazingaa]

We have our own little baby boom happening over here! Yay!

[bazingaa]

GL mrscatfarmer13! Sometimes lateral moves are the best in the long run. My job now is technically a step down from where I was at my old job (I have no direct reports anymore), but everything else about it was better.

mom2boxers, hope you find some caffeine soon!

becole, hope baby gets it together and comes willingly... And not too quickly. No home / car deliveries.

[mrscatfarmer13]

becole I would have declined too. Is everything at home ready for LO?

bazingaa I've been in this position for 4 years and I'm so done. I'm no longer challenged  and I can feel myself slacking because of it. It's time to move on. 

[lindsay]

mrscatfarmer13 actually my first visit is later today. FX they will do an early US. I'm 6w1d but feel sure of my dates, so maybe they'll be willing to check. It would be reassuring.


Also reassuring is this killer nausea and waves of exhaustion the last two days.

[lindsay]

Can't believe baby becole is going to be here so soon!

[lindsay]

I'm done working for today and about to go back to bed, hopefully can pass out. My project release went til 1:30 am then I had an 8 am call today.

[becole]

Everything is ready. I even have my bag packed this time. I really am hoping to go on my own but I am not wanting to go over at all. I'm hoping between now and 40. I'm going to start walking at night.

This is me. I've been in this position for five or six years, but there's no other moves to make, so I either stay or leave entirely. Y'all know what my plan is. I just can't seem to commit to resigning though.

Hi ladies!

Thanks for the call out mrscatfarmer13! Work is completely insane these days which is the reason for my sporadic participation these days. I'm absolutely over it. And I'm right there with any of you who are sick of doing the same job (I'm at 3 1/2 years over here)and ready to move on. I'm just waiting on some more HR jobs to be posted around here.

Anyhoo, I'm 15 weeks along now. My bump is seriously the size that it was at like 20-22 weeks last time around. It's crazy what your body does with the 2nd kid. I'll post a bump pic soon in the PG. I have an appointment on Tuesday, Oct 11th and expect that we'll schedule my A/S ultrasound at that time. I'm expecting it'll be somewhere between Nov 8-15. Over the past couple of weeks, I've started to have some intuition about it being a boy. No real reason why, and it may just be because we really want a boy. But that's what I'm feeling right now.

I expressed my nerves due to my previous loss to my doctor and she agreed to do an early US even though my practice doesn't do dating US's. So maybe if you push for it, they'll do it for you! They did mine at 6w4d and we got the see the little heart beating at that time.

Yeah, that exactly where I was at too. As long as I feel challenged I'm good to stay, but when I don't it's time to move on.

I feel like someone here was looking for one of these recently: link

I was strangely excited to click on this link having no idea what it was going to be. And then I thought how funny it would be if it opened up a link to a giant dildo or something. LOL

 I really don't care to know if one of you is looking for a giant dildo.

[dogmama22]

We are at a cute little place this morning. It was a drive so I'm glad it was worth it. I'll update with where we went after we leave

[mrscatfarmer13]

JoBub I clicked on the link and immediately thought, "Oh shit, I have no idea what this is going to be".

It's basically a Greek tragedy.

This ad is because you had to talk about dildos...

SPOILER: Click to show

[mrscatfarmer13]

Can you spoiler that?

[JoBub]

LOL

Sorry becole

[dogmama22]

Safely back at home so I can reveal where we were now
We went to Glenwood Gardens/ Highfield Discovery Gardens. Really cool place and we probably could have spent the whole day if we didn't have naps to worry about. Of course, both boys slept in the car on the way back for about 30 minutes, so we will see how nap time goes.

[lindsay]

Oh how fun dogmama22 I've been there a couple times but forgot about it. Don't they have a cool play area?
