Silver?

2,000 = Silver correct?  I'm pretty darn close.  Help me get there with an "Ask me anything?" Big Smile  Purdy please!

Re: Silver?

  • 2,001 technically

    Hows the nauseousness?

    When is your first appt?

    Are you actually "ready" for #2? (I'm terrified at the thought!)

    2,001 technically - ah yes, you're correct.

    Hows the nauseousness? - It's much better.  I have only had a couple days where I felt a little nauseous here and there, but eating something helped.

    When is your first appt? - First appointment is a week from today on April 5th.  I'm really excited to probably be able to hear the heartbeat and we'll get to schedule our dating u/s at that point too.  I'm really hoping they pull my file and can  just transfer most of the family history stuff so we don't have to through all of it again.

    Are you actually "ready" for #2? (I'm terrified at the thought!) - Honestly, not right at this moment.  Alex has been a little fussier recently (more teeth) and I keep thinking to myself how hard it's going to be when Alex is fussy and the baby are fussy at the same time and trying to meet both of their needs.  It's going to be overwhelming for the first couple of months when baby is at the neediest and Alex is adjusting to the change but we feel more prepared this time around since we've already done it once.  Joel has been much more supportive in all the right ways this pregnancy because we both know what to expect and aren't as scared or nervous and therefore we've both a lot calmer and less irritable this time around.

  • Do you have the option to do VBAC?

    Do you have the option to do VBAC?

    Yes, I should have this option. We'll discuss it at the first appointment, but the two surgeon that did my c-section are the two OBs that I will be seeing throughout this pregnancy and they used special stitching to close me up to give me a better shot at a VBAC and both said that I would be an ideal candidate for one.  We're going to do whatever we have to try to make it happen because I really want to avoid surgery if at all safe and possible.  Especially since this time around I'll be home with both Alex and the baby and if I have to have another c-section I won't be allowed to pick Alex up at all for several weeks while the incision is healing and the thought of that kills me, especially since he'll already be adjusting to the new baby and will be too young to understand why mommy can pick up the new baby and not him :(  I really really hope it doesn't come down to that but we'll cross that bridge when we get there.

    LOL, no, have at it!  Which cut are you going for?  The bangs? :D

    When are you coming to visit me? =)

    We actually have a wedding to go to in MA on July 21st at the Harding Allen Estate in Barre, MA.  How close is that to you?  I don't want to go to the wedding at all because traveling with Alex was miserable the last couple of times we've gone somewhere longer than two hours away, but if we could turn it into a G2G I might agree to go.  It's Joel's cousin's wedding and I've only met her once and he never talks to them so it's not like a close relative, so selfishly I don't really feel like it's worth the hassle of the travel to get there and back.  We'll see....

    LOL, again, which one? ;)  The bird, the tree or the stars?  :-P  I have to get the tree finished still but now it'll be awhile again.  I also want to change the flowers in it from pink to red which I kind of wish I had done to begin with but ah well.  I also want to get my dead dandelion with the seeds blowing across, just have to figure out how to fit it into the scene so it doesn't look out of place.

  • ah yes, that's when my layers were awesome.  My hair girl messed it up last time I went in and made it all choppy in the back so I'm not a month over due for a cut because I'm trying to grow it out so I can go back to the three layers and the angles in the front.

    da tree!

    That one was always my fave.

    I'm trying to get an idea of what I want my next one to be and that one always stuck in my mind.  I'm creepy like that. ;p

    According to GoogleMaps, that's only an hour and 40 minutes from Braintree!  Cut that in half, meet somewhere between Framingham and Worcester, and I think we could have a decent GTG!

    I'm good with that.  Get rounded flowers though, not my pointy one, unless you like them.  I wish I had gotten rounded petals so they look like real cherry blossoms instead of stylized ones.  I still looooove it, don't get me wrong, but if I could do it over I'd have them red and rounded! :)  Like this:

    Are you free that weekend?  It would make Joel super excited if I said I wanted to go to this wedding (I told him he was welcome to go by himself lol).

    Will the new baby have its own nursery?

     The house is coming along.  We've working on the outside now.  Baby will be in our room for the first while, since Alex is now 13 months and still sleeps in our room.  It's a big room and his crib is on the opposite side of our bed and it's pretty rare that he comes into bed with us, he sleeps really well in his own crib so before the baby comes we'll transition him to the spare room to be his bedroom and baby will share with us.  If it's a boy then Alex and new baby boy will eventually share a room.  If it's a girl we're looking at some minor construction to add an additional "office" (aka: bedroom, but office for the permit reasons Wink )  We've already started putting some money aside for that "just in case" and have friends that can help us with the addition should it come to that.

    Booooooo!!!!  Very lame!  Now I have no motivation to go to the wedding and I'll have to stick to my guns lol.  I keep telling Joel he'll have a great time with his family and I really don't mind if he goes without me.  I don't know if he's going for it though.

  • And with this post. I should be silver.  *Points to joined on date* Only took me nearly four years of posting lol.

    ETA:  Thanks for helping me reach that oh so important milestone ladies Wink
