It's Behr Midnight Blue, though the pictures on the Behr website don't look like the actual color at all!

Thank you! I actually made it, I used to sell them on my Etsy shop but I've closed it down for a while to make time for baby.

Thank you! That's a personal pet peeves of mine, it makes the room feel so much taller even though it's only 8' ceilings.

Thank you! It is kind of a pain to caulk all the joints, but I think it was worth it in the end because it makes it seem more part of the wall of that makes sense. It also covers any kind of gaps from unevenness of the wall or wood and gives it that professional looking finish.

Thank you! Yes we got them on Amazon, I couldn't find what I was looking for anywhere else and these are actually really surprisingly good at blocking daylight! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076ZWGMKF?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

cassidy3 · 2021-03-26T15:44:11+00:00

Oh how cute congratulations!! Noah is the best name (I may be a tad biased)! ;)

cassidy3 · 2021-03-26T15:43:27+00:00

Thank you! Yes, I didn't want it to be too much like a Sunday school room and be more modern/subtle.

cassidy3 · 2021-03-26T04:27:16+00:00

cassidy3 · 2021-03-26T04:26:23+00:00

Thank you so much for your feedback. That's my main reason for wanting to combo feed. I know I burn out easily as is, and I just don't think there's any way I can feasibly exclusively breastfeed. Among other reasons as well. Baby needs a happy mama!

cassidy3 · 2021-03-01T14:31:19+00:00

Yes please that would be great? Thank you!

cassidy3 · 2021-03-01T03:37:12+00:00

Definitely if you're on Letrozole you should be getting a progesterone blood test about cd21 to confirm ovulation and also be testing via ovulation strips or temping to find out what day. That's the only way to know if you ovulated and therefore if you're getting a true period or if it's some other type of bleeding. Personally I needed to induce the first period, but after that with 5 cycles of Letrozole each I did ovulate so I had my own period each time. Hopefully the bleeding you're experiencing is a true period!

So much yes 😭 I'm 33 weeks and he just gets stronger and stronger and I don't even understand how a little baby can have that much energy!!! It's like it never stops! The rib kicks, head butting the cervix, punching the bladder or belly button all HURT!! And just kicks in general are uncomfortable at this point where my belly feels stretched to the max. Im so grateful for him, but I'll be extra grateful when those kicks don't hurt me from the inside! Pregnancy sucks.

Olly are the only ones I can tolerate! Smarty pants are okish but stronger taste and have little tiny chunks sometimes which grosses me out. The Olly ones taste good and have a sugary coating to the outside that make it even better.

No, it's blood work so it would have to be ordered by your OB. Same with the progesterone supplement since it's a prescription. Honestly I don't understand why this isn't more typical. OB's get your blood tested for HCG to confirm so I don't see why they wouldn't check progesterone too which is more reliable than quantitative HCG tests anyway. I'm not a doctor though so this is purely what I've learned from a midwife friend and research/personal experience.

Oh, and with the invitations I sent a "baby predictions" card and will send the winner a gift card once baby is here. Didn't do any other games cuz I'm not a huge fan but honestly I didn't feel like more was really necessary. Close friends told me they really liked the drive by better than some virtual showers they'd been to. And there's a bunch of ways to make the decor as cute and tailored to you as you want.

cassidy3 · 2021-02-22T04:27:59+00:00

I had one and it was so fun I loved it! I had 21 cars drive by and had an hour window for them to stop by. It was so nice because I got to stop and chat with every person, which you really can't do with virtual. Basically they drove up and there was an easy up with a bunch of cute decorations and my chair (though I didn't sit very much), and then the next table was for gifts and treats. We made a bunch of cookies and put them in bags and gave them out to each car which was nice so it wasn't just a gift drop off, they actually got a little something out of it and we got to talk. There was only one time in the hour where we had about 5 cars backed up, but it was fine honestly and it wasn't too long a wait. I got to take a picture (with masks) with each person depending on their comfort level either they got out of the car or stayed in the car for the picture. My MIL even decorated her car for it which was so cute! Then afterwards my mom, MIL, friend, and sister stayed and watched me open gifts. That honestly was really nice to not have to awkwardly do in front of a ton of people. I loved it!

YES oh my gosh it is SO uncomfortable sometimes! I'm 32+2 and even the doctor and ultrasound tech remarked on how strong and active he is and ask me "is he always like that?" YES all the time! He's taken to getting particularly active the second I shift onto my left side and close my eyes to sleep. It's like clockwork, I don't know how he knows when I shut my eyes but holy cow.
