We had a newborn baby in my mom group today, a week old. Omg he was precious and slept the whole time. Made me more nervous than anything. He was so tiny.

I wish it was socially acceptable to just wear underwear and a bra everywhere. We've had a heat wave (just in the 90's but still...) and I'm sweating and so uncomfortably hot all the time. I feel bad because I don't want to take DD outside at all because after about 5 minutes I'm so uncomfortable.

I'm attempting to go with a friend to a sunflower field this evening and try to get some DIY maternity photos with my point and shoot. 😬 I never did any maternity pics with DD so I'd love to get some good ones.

This happened today. Not a single egg survived 😟 It also happened around this time when I was pregnant with DD. I should probably not be allowed to buy or transport eggs during pregnancy.

pixiepink24 I hope the photo shoot was a success! I didn't do any the first time either and I've been considering asking a friend. Oh, brenna! Sorry about your eggs! That did make me laugh a little though 😄

So, good thing #1 for today - I went and got a bunch of paint swatches! Now I just have to decide how I want to do the mountains and how many colors and what shades I want to use! I think maybe I should roughly draw the mountains on the wall in pencil to get an idea of what I'm doing.
Good thing #2 - I got a Prime Day surprise... MH ordered a Roomba!!! 😆🎉 I've been saying I wanted one for some time now and I saw the one on sale for Prime Day and sent him the link. And he actually ordered it!! Woohoo for clean floors!! We ran it tonight to try it out and it was fun watching it drive around! It actually did a pretty decent job too!

Just came back from an OB appointment. It looks like she wants to induce at 39 weeks which would be 9/11 or 9/12 (those were the best days for her hospital on call schedule). We may see if we can avoid induction if things are going well with the cord towards the end but shit is getting real now that I kind of know an end date 😬😬😬

I don't vacuum nearly enough and then our floors are such a mess. I feel like this is SUCH a special treat! It will be really nice to actually have clean floors regularly.

tbirdloveI think it was a success! We spent hours in the car though getting our friend and driving back and forth but it was fun. It was soooo hot and humid even at 7:30pm. I think we grabbed a few pictures that I like. They aren't exactly what I wanted but I'm ok with that. I didn't get home until almost 11pm.

The realtor who brought their client through our house last night said she loved it! We gave her our price and she’s gonna check with her client and let us know what she says. Holy cow I could be moving with 12 weeks to go before my c-section.

I met with a doula today and I felt very at ease with her and very comfortable talking with her. It felt like talking to a new friend.
I'm meeting another team of two doulas next week and then I'll make my choice from there.

We got our double stroller and the trike for DD today in the mail. The trike was kind of a pain to put together but I think she'll love it. The stroller is actually surprisingly easy to fold and unfold so I was happy about that.

Is anyone with toddlers or younger kids still picking them up or carrying them? Some days I can’t help it and have to pick my DS up, it hurts a tad, but also feels very necessary in the moment.

Though I am like a month behind most of you ladies with EDD. I've even worn my 32 pound toddler on my back and hold her, especially trying to get her in and out of the SUV at times. I also nanny a 9 month old 22 pound baby and wear him and hold him a lot! It's getting harder for sure and a bit uncomfortable.

mirabelle I still pick up my DS, but usually only when necessary. He's about 25-26 lbs. I have to lift him into the car, into his booster, onto the changing table, etc.

Some days I can’t help it and have to pick my DS up, it hurts a tad, but also feels very necessary in the moment. my toddler is a runner so I have no choice but to pick her up very often. My dad is always telling me "don't pick her up!" (My parents live pretty close so we see them often) But what else can I do? I'm pretty sure I will be picking her up until the baby comes unless my dad wants to hire me a full time nanny ☺️

My mail lady is going to hate us - they must be coming from different warehouses because I have deliveries estimated for tomorrow, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday!! Not quite sure why they're not all 2 day shipping since they were all Prime eligible, but I knew ahead of time they wouldn't be and we don't need them for a while so oh well.
