Week of 2/20

[Mushe]

While I’m still holding my breath until Monday’s appointment - I’m still getting nervous in between - H and I got to view our NIPT results late last night. Everything is low risk, and it’s a girl! I am beyond excited, but still so nervous.

Ha! I immediately burst into tears last night, and H was left going, are you okay???

I'm so sorry oneslybookworm . I know it was expected, but the reality of it can still be difficult. So many hugs to you.

Today was H's last day in the daycare we didn't like here. And when we were leaving, they couldn't find her spare outfit or blanket. They didn't even know which blanket was hers. So she's been napping there for the last week (we pulled her out before nap time for the first week) without her comfort blanket, I guess. Ugh. The new daycare is further from home and more expensive, and I hate that she'll have to start over getting comfortable somewhere again, but this hammers home that we're making the right choice.

Mushe, I am so freaking thrilled for you!!!!!

Mushe, I'm so excited for you! Yay for a healthy girl!

My BIL's wife is pregnant with #5 and it's a girl after 4 boys. She's pumped, but he's all "oh, I'm so freaked out about having a girl!" It's fucking ridiculous. I want to tell him how stupid he's being but I don't really talk to him at all. If I did I'd tell him girls are awesome and honestly not any different except you're scraping poop out of a vagina instead of off a ballsack.

cactuscookie, WTF to that daycare? I am so, so glad you're moving her! Is there somewhere you can leave a review? I would be lighting (virtual) shit on fire! I am sending so many good vibes that she has a smooth transition to the new place and loves it as much as her old place.

I'm so sorry for your loss oneslybookworm. Even when it's expected, it's still so hard.

cactuscookie, so glad y'all are moving her. Hope the new place is 100x better!

[Mushe]

Ugh, cactuscookie! That is so frustrating about the daycare. I suppose it’s a tiny bit nice to be validated that you’re making the right decision. 😡

loira, I’m not sure what H’s deal is, if he’s nervous about a girl, or just that this is really happening? I asked him a few times last night if he’s happy, and he just kept saying he’s in shock.

Oh I'm sure it's just because it's such a long time coming for you guys. I do think it's kind of hard to wrap your brain around having a kid of a different sex. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to imply that your H is ridiculous - your post that you're having a girl just reminded me that I wanted to tell you guys about my BIL's heinous attitude (and his isn't because of shock or reasonable doubts - he basically told his sons that he didn't want a girl and turned them against the idea and that made me rage), although he's in BEC territory for me anyway because of a number of other things.

Oh no, I didn’t take it that way! He’s already made joking comments about us saving all those boys clothes, but really I got rid of almost everything now. I can’t wait to tell DS, though. He’s been asking for a brother for a long time. When I ask about a sister, he says, no thanks, I just want a brother.

Congrats Mushe!
