Weekend Spot

How's it going this weekend?

[lilyelayne]

Big day yesterday. Put a bid on a house! Eek!

CW: abnormal genetic screening

SPOILER: Click to show

My OB’s office called and said the genetic screening was positive for open neural tube defect. They are referring me to a high risk doctor for detailed ultrasound and likely more blood testing. That doctor is supposed to call to schedule, but they didn’t yesterday.

This doesn’t necessarily mean there is something wrong with baby, just that there’s a higher chance something is wrong.

Also this by itself is not enough to transfer me to the high risk doctor, so I still have my local OB unless the specialist says differently.

I am trying to hold onto that, and baby’s spine looked good at 9w.

And I’m thankful it’s less than a 2hr drive to the specialist.

[aggiebug]

Oh lilyelayne what a whirlwind of emotions. So exciting on the house offer, crossing my fingers its accepted and smooth sailing.

And wow what stressful news on your screening. Praying all is ok.

[dreemkin]

I posted on the other thread but I wanted to say lilyelayne, what major/stressful things going on. Good luck on the house! Which one did you decide on? And also I'll be praying for your LO to-be! You probably don't remember but I had a scare with A's ultrasound (an EIF) and I know how the "not knowing" and extra testing feels. I'm sorry! I hope that it is going to turn out okay and the wait to learn more doesn't take too long! Many hugs! Take care of yourself!

[aggiebug]

Dude I posted in here and still created a new thread because I am clearly not thinking straight. Sorry bout that. I thought this was Thursday or something.

[lilyelayne]

dreemkin the one on the bigger lot that needs more work. We went to the other one (newer but awkward lot) on Wednesday evening and spent an hour there. Turns out we just don’t like it nearly as much as the older one.

aggiebug I was super confused by your thread when you’d already posted here haha. Sorry C is still sick. One of the worst things about the flu is it goes on forever.

[lilyelayne]

MFM called and I have an appointment Wednesday morning. DH took the whole day off work & MIL is babysitting.

[2mrsks (mrs&mrsk)]

Hi. I haven’t been on in a while. After some bad news (early Mc) and prematurely posting on here I got nervous. Plus I’ve been super busy.
Anyway I’ve been reading a bit and keeping up here & there.
My big news is similar to lilys so I figured I’d jump in
I’m 7 mo ish pg due 3/12
Also trying to sell our house and move before or after the baby lol. Not in a super rush but if it works out now... we definitely have a house picked out to put an offer on.
Ds is pt #1 however we can’t get #2 so that’s a struggle. Going to work on Night training so he can’t keep saving it for the diaper. Ugh!

[2mrsks (mrs&mrsk)]

lilyelayne when r u due

[dreemkin]

Congrats 2mrsks (mrs&mrsk)! Such good news; thanks for sharing. Do you know what you're having? Good luck with your house hunt too!

[2mrsks (mrs&mrsk)]

Congratulations! I am so happy for you two. Thanks for popping in I have missed you coming around.

[lilyelayne]

Hey 2mrsks (mrs&mrsk)!! So good to hear from you! Congrats! I’m due 7/17

Pregnancy sure does lend an urgency to house hunting. Best of luck.

[mishka29]

Lily - I'm sorry you are dealing with such a stressful wait. Fx everything is okay! I hope everything with the house works out!

[mishka29]

Kiddos are away this weekend at the IL's. Dh and I have big plans for steak and wine for dinner. I had a nice bubble bath and have been getting some cleaning done.

[lilyelayne]

Lazy morning and then spent the day at my grandma’s. My aunt and cousin are in town.

[dreemkin]

We cleaned/wrapped presents/baked all morning. After that I played The Little Mermaid on our NES simulator on Wii. It brought me back to my childhood!! Then we went to dinner with ILs for FIL's birthday. Tomorrow is "Christmas" and A's "birthday" haha.

[2mrsks (mrs&mrsk)]

Ds wanted a bike for Christmas and now we are going to get it for his birthday (makes more sense) —- what’s everyone else’s kids asking for? I can’t believe they are already at the stage to ask!!!

[lilyelayne]

We got LO a bike for Christmas. It's cute how small it is. Right now she is riding it around the house lol. We got dd1 a bike when she was 3 and 1/2 but LO needed a smaller bike than that and even then she looks so small riding it around.

[dreemkin]

We had a fun day with family and lots of presents for all. We are so blessed! My carrot cake poke cake for FIL's birthday was a hit! He had three helpings 👍 It's starting to snow here so people that had to drive home a ways left. Supposed to get a few inches today and tomorrow. Hopefully it won't be too bad. No totschool tomorrow so we have a few days to stay home anyway.

[aggiebug]

kartish thanks for asking he is back to normal again, this time I am thinking (and hoping) it's for good. He's been sick a week! He woke up yesterday no fever and was acting fine so I talked to the babysitter's mom and we decided to put him to bed and she can come over and put Sarah to bed be there so we did still get to go out. It was a perfect solution for the situation. I lysoled the house during nap time and she didn't have to deal with her snotty face .

[mishka29]

My mil took the girls shopping for their bday presents. Once they turn three they get to go with grandma and pick out their own clothes/toys and then out to dinner. So of course LO was pretty stoked about this.

So while dd2 was napping, mil and dd1 went shopping. When dd2 saw what her big sister got she wanted to go shopping immediately...and then proceeded to pick out the exact same things!

Big sis got a fingerling and LO had to have the exact same one, couldn't possibly have picked a different color. Same purse, and sunglasses. Ugh! But she loves her big sis.
