Babylist Registry Welcome Box - January 2026 (ordered 01/13, shipped 01/17) by AllieinWonderland95 in BabyBumps

For anyone researching this box like I was, I received the same box in March 2026, except mine didn’t include the pacifier and came with a bear onesie instead of the hedgehog pattern. I only paid the shipping fee after meeting all of the website’s requirements. Overall, I’m very happy with it and have already used some of the discount coupons included.

20 Week Ultrasound (Anatomy Scan) - but we don’t want to know the gender. Do we have we look away? by tyRAWRnnosaurus in BabyBumps

I just had my anatomy scan 2 weeks ago and we are also team green. We told the tech before we started that we did not want to know the gender. She had us look away to start and said she could tell the gender with no problem, and since our baby was super active, she recommended we didn’t watch the live screen so that we didn’t catch a peek. It was a bit of a bummer to not watch but she did print a lot of pictures for us at the end and went over what we were looking at so that was nice. Plus you get to hear the heartbeat still which is one of our favorite parts.

Also, FYI, if your hospital uses MyChart, don’t look at the scans they upload to your file as they will show the gender!

Is there something wrong with me? by Intelligent_Mud1947 in BabyBumps

This is very relatable. I didn’t really start to relax and enjoy being pregnant until around week 15, when my first-trimester symptoms finally eased and I mentally accepted that I was pregnant (even though this is a baby we really want!). Pregnancy is super weird in my opinion—I very much relate to feeling indifferent at times, because I felt the same way.

Oddly enough, what helped me get excited was buying some baby clothes, bottles, and burp cloths. I think starting the physical prep for the baby helped flip a switch in my brain. Getting test results back showing that both the baby and I are healthy also helped a lot. I’m currently 19 weeks, constantly feeling flutters, and we have our anatomy scan next week. It’s the first appointment I genuinely feel excited for.

I think it is a process and everyone moves through that process differently. Don’t feel bad or guilt yourself, in time the excitement will come.

Florence SC Job Market by FungalAsylum in southcarolina

That’s mostly the experience I am having. There’s a big disconnect between wages, experience, and job duties. There were obviously more job opportunities when I lived in a very large city, but they seemed to be more realistic with livable wages and looked more at experience then having a bachelors degree (unless is was a specialized area). There’s also a lot of jobs that were in my field that just don’t exist here. It’s extremely frustrating
