Pregnancy: Almost 5 months!
I haven't really posted a ton here (or anywhere, for that matter..) about pregnancy and how things are going. I never want to whine and bitch about aches and pains and make it seem as if I am ungrateful or less-than-thrilled to be pregnant, because I've been on the other side and I know how shitty it is to read those things when you'd give anything
( Read more... )
And complain away about aches and pain. Its totally ok and wouldny come off as ungrateful. I'd give my li up for either one of my kids but if I couldn't vent about them then I'd explode. You're in for a great journey but let yourself vent, its really healthy. Especially when you aren't getting any sleep. Its how you keep the humor.
I found a cute navy and green sun dress combo by carters that coordinates and thought of you. You should post about how you want to dress them. The dresses were 12- 18 month size so ready for next summer but I tend to not buy small outfits because so many people give you.those sizes. My friends 35 weekers were 5-6 lbers and now at 2 months they are growing out of newborn size so IDK. I guess its a Singleton thing. I also have girls clothing in great condition if you want any hand me downs. Everyone has had boys since Zachary so its nice to have girls on the way!
End rambling, happy Saturday!

I have another u/s on Thursday (big anatomy scan, hooray!!!) and everything has thus far looked perfect, so... i really hope it continues to look that way!
And I would hope that some friends who are also struggling know that my bitching about aches/pains aren't ungrateful, but... I also have a friend (who granted has been trying for over a decade) who was only supportive as long as I was also struggling - the second I got my + she has basically ignored me, and when I've been supportive to her and tried to help her, I get shady, snarky, bitchy comments back - it's made me pissy at her (and hello, I did nothing.) but... i've ALWAYS been aware of and supportive of those who are trying and have yet to be successful. I just never want to rub anything in their face, ya know?
And ZOMG those sound super cute!! I don't think I necessarily have a specific "way" I want to dress them, but so far almost all clothes we have are neutral (and almost more "boy") because they've all come from moms of boys.. oops! I figure we'll get lots of girl clothes from everyone else and it will even out. ;) And I'm totally not above hand me downs if you are trying to get rid of things!

IDK, one other way to think about it is that while you two had a good run together as friends, maybe she is more of a fairweather friend, someone that isn't going to be close and that might be ok. For one jealous, jerky friend, you have a bazillion more that are happy and rooting for you and Kyle and the girls. But it's hard to shake that icky feeling so I'll just think good thoughts for your comfort.
Just allow yourself to experience the good and the not so good aspect of pregnancy and parenthood. I find that when I vent about something, I get a lot more people responding with "been there, done that, it sucks and you are doing a good job" support than negativity. I'll be here when they are being insane toddlers with an attitude problem. Oh yeah, they do eventually get mouthy and defiant, just spend 10 minutes with Taylor. That's why they are cute, so that you don't sell them on craigslist.
Can you tell I've had a glorious relaxing weekend? lol
I have a rubbermaid bin full of girls stuff for the first year that I'd be glad to pass on to a good home. They grow out of the small stuff so fast so it's good to have a couple of super cute outfits for pictures and special occassions but until they hit the 12-18 month clothing size, be ready for them to grow out of clothes in 2-3 months for each size. Especially if you are cloth diapering because of the added (awesome) bulge.
I heart you too!!
