Re: Where are the August mommies?

I am due August 19th with twins, so they will probably come earlier.
I am not planning on doing a 4D sono, I did book a newborn photographer and the nursery is a work in progress....so far, we painted, have the furniture in and set up, and have the bedding sets, lamp and curtains (but none have been put up yet).

I had my shower this past weekend because I had to travel back up to NY (we live in NC now). It was at the Milleridge Inn...good food and a fun time!

I have already gained 25 lbs (at 26wks), ugh! I just found out my blood sugar is a little high, so I started a low sugar diet today and need to go for blood sugar monitoring. I hate it...I am so hungry!

Oh, I am working until June 10th, 31wks, because that is when my school year ends.

Glad you are all feeling well!

Re: Where are the August mommies?

Hey girls......Due Aug 16 but will likely be scheduled for a c/s at least a week before. I work p/t in a school and we end for the summer June 23rd So happy I have the month of July to get the nursery ready.

We've started fixing up ds #1 big boy room (used to be a storage room). Needed spackling and nice new paint. Dh did the spackle and started primering the room this week. We just ordered the furniture for him. Should be in by mid June (so excited) and we'll be using his nursery set for ds #2. We're repainting the nursery and getting a new bedding set that goes better with the mural that's in there. We had it painted after we got the bedding for ds #1 and it never really went. This is the thread I posted when we had it done. link to mural

Our goal is to get ds into his big boy room by the end of June so he's in there for a good month before the baby comes.

We just had a growth sono (at 26 weeks) and the tech surprised us with 3D pics It was the same girl who did our level II and we never got all the pics from it and she felt bad. We have another one at 30 wks.....who knows, maybe we'll get more.

We booked an infant shoot pretty much when I got a bfp. I feel a little guilty I never did one with my 1st, but I'm sure I'll get over it

I have my 3 hr GTT tomorrow....hopefully I'll pass At 26 weeks, I'm up 17 lbs. I'm really trying to keep this pregnancy under 25 lbs total (I gained 60 last time and only lost half of it)

Here's to all the happy and healthy August babies <- water of course

Me.... Due Aug.3rd!

Re: Where are the August mommies?

August 12th mommy here.

Got my results from the glucose test- I passed! But my iron is low, so I have to take a supplement for the rest of my pregnancy.

We're going to schedule a 4D sono soon- we are both really looking forward to that. I really want to do a newborn shoot, but DH doesn't want to pay the money!

I'm a teacher and most likely don't have a job for September, so I will be working until the end of June, then who knows.

All of our nursery furniture came in and the room is painted. I'm going to wait to decorate the walls until after my shower (June 13th) just to see if I get anything I want to use.

Re: Where are the August mommies?

Due August 3rd, and my last day of work is actually May 28th (per hubby), not quite the doc! LOL I work 3 nights on my feet, so it's already getting to me! Doc said 2nd week in June, but I'm listening to the hubby!!! We actually have a guy coming next week to skim coat and prime the walls in the nursery, and also put up chair rail and molding, then actually start painting! Furniture was ordered almost 3 weeks ago!!! It's coming fast

Oh, and booked AvaJack a few months ago...so looking forward to this!!!!

Re: Where are the August mommies?

August 23rd Mommy here

I worked till the end with my DS and hope to do the same with this one. No shower for me since this is my second. We haven't started on the room yet and am still confused if I should start a big boy room for my DS or just leave him where he is. I'm scheduled for my glucose test next week. Newborn pictures have been booked with Summerlyn since I got my BFP. Oh yeah we need to decide on names...we haven't even discussed this yet. Hope everyone is feeling well.

Re: Where are the August mommies?

Due Aug 23 :)

Re: Where are the August mommies?

Due August 30th!

We started on the nursery..first it was being used as a storage room so it took a lot of time just to empty it out..we're still working on our apt and found it easy to shove everything in there..now that we're unloading it..its a nightmare! lolz but its getting done little by little..at least everything is out of the nursery now (and in my dining room!). It's half painted...at first I thought I wanted the top pink and the bottem beige/cream color but I changed my mind and now have to paint the rest and paint the chair rails. I just bought some shelves to paint for the room too.

So far we have the crib, the changer and the rug too. We still have to put the crib and changer together but want to finish painting first so it's not in the way.

I'm planing on working until the end of July or maybe the first week or two in august..I can't wait to stop working..it's been really rough getting up and going!!

I'm not sure how much I gained yet, I'll find out at my appt today..but I think I gained somewhere around 15lbs at 24wks.

4d sono I had done to confirm it was a girl and we're planning on having another one around 30weeks for better pics...

I wish I could do a newborn shoot..my cousin who is a professional photographer told me at the beginning of my pregnancy that he would do a shoot for me, but he's really busy and I hope he can find some time and didn't forget! He takes amazing pictures so I'd be so happy if he did!

Re: Where are the August mommies?

90 days to go!
Feeling good and planning on working until the end!

Re: Where are the August mommies?

Hi I'm due with on 8/21! We emptied the closet in the nursery room but haven't done much else. MIL bought the furniture.. we got the call it is in... we just need to schedule delivery. DH will start spackling and priming.. I did pick out a paint color already so at least that is decided. Then he will have to do moldings, and do a closet organization system. Then we need shades for the windows. I registered for bedding so I'm just waiting until my shower 7/10 to see what we get. I'm really anxious to start the room! We just need to hall our futon and treadmill and bike out of there!
I'm not doing newborn shots. I figured being born in August, I'll just send out Christmas cards this year with his pics...i'm not doing birth announcements for that reason.
I do plan on working until the end. I really want to use the sick and vacation time I have when the baby is here since I can't really afford to stay out too long without getting paid.
Overall feeling good, passed the glucose test and i think i gained around 19 lbs so far. I'm showing mainly in my belly and boobs so I guess i can't complain. I notice I'm getting fuller faster when i eat so i guess baby is squishing my stomach!
Looking forward to August!!
