I'm going to get this started because I'm so exhausted today.
Yesterday was DD's 3rd bday and party. It was a lot of fun but my feet were killing me. Like literally burning and pain with every step. I was running around like crazy and we were so far behind getting food ready. Ultimately, it was a hit! How do I have a 3 year old? Now I have to clean the house again because there are ants everywhere from the toddler messes and have to get my house back together. I just want to soak in a tub and nap.

With the heat this week, I think I've decided I would actually rather be pregnant during the summer than have a newborn in the summer. At least I can hide in the a/c but still get out of the house for work. With a newborn I liked being off in the fall when I could actually take baby outside daily for walks without sweating my ass off or baby overheating.

pixiepink24 glad the party was a success! I'd clean up the ant attracting stuff and the rest would totally wait while I rested my feet and tired body 😉

DS was a summer newborn and it wasn't so bad. We went for walks and sat outside when it was cool enough, but honestly I was so overwhelmed getting a grip on life with baby that I was fine hanging out inside most of the time! But I don't think I'd like to have a summer newborn for #2 - I like for DS to be able to play in the kiddie pool and go to the park and I'd hate to be worrying about a newborn being too hot. On the flip side - I'm a little nervous to have such a little baby in the colder months this time!! I'm always gonna worry that baby is too cold! Nothing is perfect I guess 😄

In 2012 it was insanely hot and there was no being outside except after dinner. DD and I were cooped up and I felt crazy. I hope it won't be too bad with a fall baby. I like the idea of taking walks and being out and about.

It was super smoky because of wildfires a few weeks after M was born, but we were eventually able to spend some time outside. I’m a little nervous because it’s already cold and snowy here in October so it’s really going to limit our outside time.

I agree that fall will be a great time to have a baby. Pregnancy I’m summe sucks but at least swimming is an option! I had DD in late June and was banned from pools, hot tubs, lakes etc until my 8 week postpartum checkup. Plus the heat plus newborn meant we pretty much stayed inside.

I can't imagine not being able to go in a pool half the summer.

We are going to a Fourth of July celebration where my parents live today. DD has been more sensitive to loud noises like fireworks this year. Honestly, it seems like that ever since that shootout that happened right by us. My niece has some noise cancelling headphones we may try. Also, my step brother is in town with his two young girls so that will keep DD happy too.

FML. My new SIL's parents have been invited to our family get-together tomorrow. They are the most obnoxious people I've ever met. 21 month old DS literally runs from her mom. MH doesn't even want to go now and any visions of having a relaxing day have disappeared from my mind.

Went to a local parade this morning and squeezed in my old two piece and played in the babypool with DD. Tonight we will do more fireworks. She did well last night. I made a giant batch of homemade guacamole earlier and ate THE wHOLE THINg! I feel gross now. But yum.

By some miracle her family was way more tolerable than normal, except the standard all talking comes out yelling issue. But they didn't ruin the day like I was worried they would and we had a great time with everyone else!!
I had my first cry over something stupid episode this morning. MH made a delicious fruit salad yesterday - he cut up everything from whole fruits right before we left for the party so it was sweet, and juicy, and absolutely delicious. It was huge and I was very much looking forward to leftovers. Go to get some to bring to work for a snack and there isn't any... Apparently there wasn't much left and my dad had put it away in their fridge so MH let them keep the rest. I was very much looking forward to more so there were actual tears over no fruit salad this morning. So stupid but I couldn't seem to stop it.

We got the queen bed taken apart in the nursery today. Took the bed frame down to the basement. The mattress and box spring are against the wall in the nursery still for now. Opened the crib box in the garage and took all the pieces upstairs.
Then I had to go sit in the kiddie pool and have a popsicle to cool off! 😄

A friend of mine has a DS who is about three months younger than my DS. She is also expecting her #2 about three months after me. She just found out she's having a girl! Would be crazy if I have a girl too!
It really made me feel so excited to find out who's in my belly! 11.5 more weeks!

I have now reached the point where more often than not this baby’s kicks freak me out because I can feel the obvious shape of the foot. 😱I don’t remember this from my first pregnancy.

WTF is wrong with people? Work provides bagels and pastries on Friday mornings and there always seem to be some bagel bottoms left on the try. I figured people were only eating half a bagel. Nope!!! People are taking the top halves of 2 bagels!!! That's where all the flavor and seasoning is so they're taking the top halves of 2 and leaving the boring bottom halves. WTF????

No. People are such selfish morons these days that I can't handle it! Seriously, who does that?! That's something a child would do.....

DH is heading to his parents’ cottage for a guys weekend, so DD and I are going to spend the weekend with my parents at their place by the lake. My back/hip/leg pain is still really debilitating so I’m happy to have the help with DD.

MH will be working on DS's new room. He was hoping to get the new floor and baseboard all in last weekend but he ended up scratching his eye and had to relax with his eyes closed most of Sunday. So he'll get back to that this weekend.
I'll hang out with DS while he does that, hopefully get some nice walks in now that the humidity is supposed to ease up. I need to start looking for paint colors but I have a really hard time starting that search since there are SOOO many options out there.
I'm also really hoping to get back into looking for a name for DS2. Every week that goes by without one is stressing me out more and more. Plenty of time still, but I'd love to not be waiting until last minute!
It's supposed to be a nice weekend so even with all that there's always a good chance we'll end up at my parents' house in their pool since we do that a lot during the summer.

Anyone who did the Amazon Welcome Box!
Do you have to be Prime Members?!? I completed the checklist and it says something about signing up for Prime. I don't have it and don't want to spend the money on it since I don't do amazon much.
This blows.
