Congratz!! And I know the feeling. It seems to get worse as you get further along. It seems almost like I blinked and I was 31 weeks (as of yesterday

) But it feels like I have sooo much further to go. And bedrest is making it worse. Now I don't even have work to distract me... Ah, well...



I think I'm nesting... Either that or I just have the time now to think of what I want to get done at the house. I've started making a list for DH... Poor guy. He has to finish the coop, install the closet organizer for the nursery (found a good/inexpensive one online), paint the nursery (It was painted blue by the prior owner, nice shade but WAY too much blue. It actually made the room feel a little dark and small. So we're going to put in a chair rail and everything above it is going white), install two new light fixtures (one in the nursery, one in the front entry) and finish cleaning out the nursery of non-baby items.

Thank goodness for the internet. I've found just about everything on sale/cheaper there and it saves DH trying to go to the hardware store and figure out what I wanted. And it's keeping me sane while stuck on the couch.

I'll be 17 weeks on Wednesday!!

Every week gets me closer to my 20 week gender scan.. Which by the way, seems to be dragging!

I am 33 weeks as of yesterday, and today I told a friend I just want him to make it to 37 weeks, then he can come anytime. Then I realised THAT IS ONLY 4 WEEKS AWAY!

You guys are so helpful

do I really need diaper pail? I am reluctant to buy one since it seems like an overpriced garbage can with overpriced liners? I was thinking a covered trash can, emptied daily, would be good enough.

Well, we have decided to wait until after the 12 week mark to tell our families and friends. We trust that everything will go well, but if somehow if it doesn't, we would rather not have the "I'm so sorry" attention from the family and friends. We would like to hear the heartbeat and have some firm confirmation that everything is progressing well first. I know that sounds kind of paranoid, but as long as we had been trying, it would be devastating if something goes wrong.

good idea, I waited to tell people until about 14 weeks, didn't want to have to go through the I'm sorry either.

kelsey - 4 weeks! aghhh! DH just moved the closet (since we were using the spare room for a closet) and now we don't really have a spare room

. So he got that done, now just to paint the room and get the crib and all his gear in there.

did you see, someone liked my comment on the diaper pail so much they spammed it and repeated it, lol

Welcome - we actually covered this (with many varying opinions) fairly recently, you might go back a few pages and see what you can find! Good luck.

That's what I always did; it just made me feel better to know that my risk of miscarriage was very low when I told the world. If I had a miscarriage, the whole world really didn't need to know about it.
