I'm a raging bitch lately. This is me right now. But I’m too tired to argue long about much so I complain and then go lie down and you won’t hear much more from me😂 I think my H is learning my pattern now. My patience is quite thin.

We were giggling like little kids the entire time it was so awkward. But he delivered Eliza (like hands all up in my business pulling baby out) so we're kind of past the point of having it be weird.

I've already reached the point where I don't want to be wearing jeans on warm days. I lasted a lot longer last time. Definitely going to have to look for more maxi skirts.

Speaking of skirts and dresses in the heat - any product recommendations to help with the upper inner thigh rub? I've tried baby powder in the past but it only helped temporarily.

Yesterday I got half of the closet in the nursery completely emptied for baby! I'll get some plastic drawers to put in there for extra storage. Then today I went and picked up a lot of 14 newborn cloth diapers! They're so cute and tiny! They're in the wash now, then I'll put them out in the sun for a bit ☀️ I also ordered a bunch of nursery stuff last week that should be here soon.
Slooooooowly getting stuff together!

I use deodorant, (the antiperspirant kind), it works pretty well to save my skin. I've heard good things about those lace thigh bands, too, but I haven't tried them personally.

Never heard of lace thigh bands! I've used a plethora of things: deodorant, bandelettes, the monistat anti chaffing gel, but right now I'm going with the C9 maternity exercise shorts.

Well, I've been working on that closet for a while as I was purging clothes and shoes and handbags 😊 So it's been a work in progress! And I've been obsessed with choosing nursery decor cause I like that stuff. Also, I was painting a giraffe mural wall in DS's room at 37 & 38 weeks with severe carpal tunnel symptoms.... I don't want to be doing that again 😂 I feel so much more uncomfortable this time that I really feel pressured to move on all this stuff before I get huge.... And more hot, and more sore, and more swollen and more cranky!!

Newborn sized things are the cutest. Neither of my boys ever fit a single newborn outfit. I still have this adorable cable knit one piece a friend bought me for my first and neither boy could ever fit it. Hoping this little lady might be able to squeeze into it!I've saved it for 5 years at this point lol.

With DD I had GD and was over a week overdue so everyone involved assumed she would be big. We had only 0-3 month sized clothes and up. Turns out she was 7lbs 12 oz, we had to go on a Walmart run to get some NB sized clothes.

My DS wore his NB clothes for like a month! Everyone said they didn't use NB clothes for long, if at all, and we were expecting DS to be bigger so we didn't have very much.

Congrats on the good scans!
I have mine on Monday and I can feel my anxiety rising. I will be glad when I get to see my little guy. We are planning on going to Ikea on Sunday and I'm so excited!

I have my level 2 scan today and I'm feeling very anxious. I know the chances of things being fine is very high, but I'm still nervous.

Everything went well at our appointment. We had an hour long ultrasound, followed by the specialist then doing a 15-20 minute ultrasound then we talked with the specialist about what he saw and future testing we'll need to do.
Everything looked great and the doctor said the sex of our baby has a lower risk of something (we still don't know the sex thankfully and he had a very strong accent so we don't know what complication our baby has less risk of, just that it's good whatever sex it is).
We will get an EKG of the baby's heart in the next week or two, have a growth scan at 32 weeks, then do twice weekly nst and weekly fluid checks.
It seems like a lot for the baby being fine but there is a slightly higher risk of stillbirth with a two vessel cord so I'm definitely ok with the extra monitoring. My DH thinks it kind of ridiculous, but I know with my anxiety the extra monitoring will help me a lot.
