I had my MW appt last week and all is well! The SCH is gone!
We tried to tell the sex but could not get a good shot. First, the baby was cross legged and when she got a profile of the lower end of baby, she thought she saw boy parts, then when we finally got a good spread leg shot, there were no boy parts, so still not sure! LOL We will get our measurement US on Nov. 8th, so we will find out then!

We had a lazy weekend which was great since we have been so busy lately. This week will be very busy and stressful though.

You said it's a destination wedding - I assume that means the guests had to pay for getting there and whatnot? If I was this other mama, and they tried to force me into this sh!t with the sitter and baby, I'd be sending them a nice bill for a weekend wasted. Sorry Seriously. ANGRY!

Oh I was pretty angry, too. I was bitter about the whole weekend. I noticed the mom didnt come out for the ceremony so I am guessing she thought that was ridiculous, too. AND it was freeeeezing with an OUTdoor wedding in Maryland on the shore in October. Then, they had cocktail hour outside. Everyone was complaining. It was a shame because it was probably at $40K wedding and all I will remember is COLD and haughty.

Oh, me, too! I loved having kids at my wedding! To me, a wedding day is the start of a new family. So why wouldnt it be a family event? We even requested specific songs just for the kiddos and had hot dogs and chicken fingers for them instead of chicken parm and steak.

Originally Posted by mapleleaf88 I feel the same! I was a little disappointed that there were only a handful of kids besides mine at my wedding! Of all the wedding pictures my favorite are of our first dance when my stepson joined us, and a picture of my boys playing in the middle of the dance floor together. We purposely had a casual barbeque style wedding at a campground so that it was more kid friendly. Maybe if we hadn't had kids yet my mind set would have been different though.

This was us, too. It was a very causal dinner and dancing at a state park.

Anyways, looks like we have a few appts this week. Cant wait to hear updates!

Afm, we are finally flea free so I am fall decorating. We are gonna make pumpkin shaped pizzas for dinner. Tomorrow DH is taking the day off to go pumpkin farm hopping with us. Pumpkin soup for dinner! Trying to stuff fall into this week as much as we can!!

Wow. That was a big waste of $$ and some poor timing with those locales! Good heavens.
It's terrible, but I'm people were complaining! Serves the couple right!

Sounds like a great fall week for ya! Soak up all the DH time you can

I think I'm going to give in and go to a closer hospital even though the OB is out of network. It's only 1.5 hours instead of over 3 hours. I have no idea how naturally friendly the hospital or OB are, but it will be so much easier. We own a house that is 15 minutes from this hospital, so I'll stay there starting a week before my due date. It's going to be about $5,000 so it will be quite pricey but I think it is worth it to avoid a 3+ hour drive.

I am so super tired today.

My boys go to pre school and they had library today. When they have library they walk to the town library--it is around the corner and they have to cross some busy streets. So I go as a helper. I put dd on my back and help walk the kiddos over. I was so exhausted from the walk, the heat, and the library. I officially decided that I hate hot especially in OCTOBER!!!!!! I want my mid-atlantic lifestyle back Well at least until it gets below 50
