pixiepink24,hope you feel better soon. Pregnancy is enough to deal with! H does bathtime for me these days. Its just way too uncomfortable for me, especially when DD loves to play in the water.

So DS has picked up a cold, and it looks like MH and I both are catching it. What a great time to be sick, 10 days before baby is due! π€ͺ

tbirdloveShe is 3. I'd have to buy something to kneel on because we have a tile floor. That still sounds awful getting up and down from the ground. Lol! We try to allow her to clean herself especially her vagina and butt, but she too often would rather play and not actually clean and definitely won't wash her own hair or face.

We have tile in the bathroom too - I have that whale shaped foam kneeler pad by Skip Hop. It's kinda small, but it does provide nice padding for my knees. But you could always just put a folded up towel on the floor!

Still not the easiest to get up and down right now but the whale provides decent cushioning.

Went to Urgent Care. I have fluid in the ear but no infection. My breathing was so bad that they had to do a breathing treatment right away and I was still wheezing hard after. Now I have to take a steroid, which isn't the best thing while pregnant and take my inhailer every few hours. I'm ready to be able to breathe now! π«

Nymeria tbirdloveI have old lady knees already so I'm not sure how great that will be. I can't even kneel to pick up toys without cracking and pain. Lol! π΅πΌ

pixiepink24 glad you went to urgent care, I hope your breathing gets better soon! Our bathroom is layed out such that I can sit on the closed toilet lid for bath time, so I donβt have much to suggest for that. My induction is scheduled for 2 weeks from today! Mentally and physically I am SO ready to meet baby, but I stil have a lot to do to get ready (dragging stuff up from the basement, packing hospital bag, etc.), so I both want him to come out NOW and want him to stay inside for a bit longer.

Lol! π΅πΌ Sorry about the old lady knees - mine aren't the best either. Perhaps the best answer to the bathtime conundrum is simply less frequent bathing π I'll be honest, that's a big part of how I'm managing bathtime - Haha!

Last night was pretty rough. Lily didn't like to sleep in her basinet and was super noisy and squirmy when she was sleeping. I got maybe 3-4 hours of sleep. Hopefully DH and I can figure out a better plan going forward to both be able to get a little more sleep.

If you have a Kroger by you, check out the baby section. My Kroger had a bunch of stuff on close out prices including some Lansinoh products. I ended up getting the set of two nipple shields with case for $3.50 and a package of 100 breast pads for $3.50 plus I had a coupon for $2 off. So both of those things for $5!!!

My DH is driving me crazy. I asked him to stay close by this weekend and not go to his parentsβ cottage, so he invited like 4 of his guy friends to sleep over, drink, and play board games from like Thursday-Sunday, leaving me to take care of DD solo. They are leaving today and now heβs moping because I said I didnβt want to get a babysitter and miss a family BBQ this afternoon to go see Mission Impossible. Iβm sorry but all action movies are the same to me and Iβm not missing one of my last chances to do something social to sit through 2.5 hours of that crap.
Gah! I think these hormones are getting to me. I just left DD with DH and his friends (who are still here), while I take the longest shower ever.
Sorry for the vent, I know my problems are embarrassingly minor lol.

chriskoo not minor at all! You've had a bunch of dudes at your house since Thursday drinking and playing games??!? And now YH is moping because he wants to do MORE dude stuff??!? Just.... No! And I hate all those action movies too. MH goes to see them by himself now cause he knows I won't want to go. Sounds like YH has had plenty of fun this weekend and it's your turn to choose! I hope you enjoy your family BBQ!!!

chriskoo thatβs nuts that your H had friends over for days. I would not have been happy. My h was hunting since last Saturday. Yesterday I had a complete breakdown. He called me and I was crying and M was crying in the background. He came home 2 days early. Iβm glad heβs home But Iβm still annoyed with him.

chriskoo,I would lose my mind with a bunch of men at my house overnight, especially multiple nights. I over did it yesterday and am paying for it today. Woke up with some crazy back pain and the weather isn't going to cooperate for me to go float in the pool for a bit to try to relax my muscles. H is making me take it very easy today so I won't get much of today's to do list done. It's going to be a long week next week so for now I will listen and just get things done as I can.

pixiepink24 hope you're feeling better soon! Well MH & I caught the cold from DS, thankfully it's not too bad, but baby you better stay in until we're free of these germs! We stayed home and watched our church service on YouTube and now we're just lounging. Anyone doing anything fun today or tomorrow since it's a long weekend?

Took a bath and feel so much better! Should have done it a long time ago.
Does anyone know if any bath salts, bombs or anything are safe during pregnancy? I only did warm water tonight out of caution.

teambrink I used a couple of Lush bath bombs while I was pregnant with DS. I'd be hesitant with brands that are less natural ingredient based though. I'm like a giant walrus rolling around in our tiny tub! π I wish I fit better so that it would feel more relaxing.

We went and hung out with some friends today. It was nice to get out even though really I just went from being a blob on my couch to being a blob on theirs π DS held a frog for the first time! He likes frogs. I had to play with them too cause they're so cute! We made a bunch of little pizzas on the grill for dinner.
MH works as usual tomorrow so no plans for me really.

MH and I speed cleaned the house this morning because my friend was stopping by with my changing table. DS's room is complete now. I also assembled the Graco stroller frame.
We took DD to see Christopher Robin this afternoon and then she played outside with our neighbor's daughter for like 3 hours this evening while MH cleaned the garage and I starfished in bed.
Pretty good Sunday.

DD and I are getting some late night snuggles in. The dogs decided to start wrestling and hit the end table by me, spilling my giant Yeti knock-off cup of ice water all over me. That was rude AF.
