I hope everyone gets good GD results today!! My OB let me pick the flavor so hopefully fruit punch doesn’t let me down next month.
I’m hoping we get to work on the nursery a bit today. I told DH that I just really want a baby and he looked at me like I’d lost my damn mind. What I meant was an out of utero, holdable baby. DD was a fairly easy newborn so I’m probably romanticizing the early days BUT IM SO IMPATIENT FOR NEWBORN SNUGGLES.

I've only watched kids 2 days this week, but am so ready for the 3 day weekend already. I think they're all hyped up after the Christmas holiday, because it's been nothing but chaos here.
I usually leave my tree and decorations up through the New Year, but I'm going to put it all away a few days early this weekend. I want my space back.
Good luck to those who have GD testing!

I took down my Christmas decorations yesterday. I do t mind them but it is easier to do on a day when my husband is home to entertain DS.
We are currently driving to see one of DH’s college friends who is 1.5 hours away. We have driven from clear roads by our house to snow covered, icy roads.

We have our last Christmas thing tonight. It's the huge party with my mom's extended family. We're actually only staying an hour because I got my H concert tickets for a show tonight.
I didn't sleep great and water is making my stomach feel awful again so I really don't feel like doing either.
Can I go to both in lounge pants?

I’m over this cold spell. It’s -33C (-27F) and supposed to last until the new year. Oh well. I guess it gives me a reason to stay inside and organize the house 🙄

All of my kids/DC kids are actually napping at the same time. So, I just spent the better part of 45 minutes eating my kid's Christmas candy, sipping on coffee, and reading through the most recent GD threads. I really had to fight LOLing. I wish I was brave enough to join in over there. I'm much too intimidated, but I do enjoying the lurking.

Hi ladies! I've been enjoying my week of vacation- we've been pretty busy all week and I'm definitely sad to see it's already Friday! I took down our Christmas decor yesterday and rearranged the living room and play room. Nesting seems to have made an early appearance!

DD was a fairly easy newborn so I’m probably romanticizing the early days BUT IM SO IMPATIENT FOR NEWBORN SNUGGLES. This is me now. The first several months were hard and I had a hard time letting myself get excited for this baby and now I just want her here now to snuggle and love on. And DD1 is so excited and constantly talks about her baby sister I can't wait to see how they will interact.

The opening act hasn't even come on yet. I'm dying.
And I don't eat dinner before hand because I felt sick, but now I'm getting hungry.

I am living in my yoga pants. It is so dang cold here I have no desire to go anywhere. -20 or more with wind chill, stupid fine snow on falling that makes the roads solid ice and dangerous. I've gone very short distances and I'm so thankful I can avoid rush hour. DH is off most of this week and we took all the Christmas stuff down today and my house looks empty. My couch in the family room looks so tiny. I want a new, larger one so, so bad.

Ya I just randomly comment on stuff on GD once in a blue moon. I can't even remotely keep up, but someone said yes I had been around like, forever. So I figure I don't need to constantly explain who I am. The drama over secret Santa is so extra. I feel so bad for Rajah! I'm wrapping "stocking stuffers" for my SILs today and may not give them till Monday. Sorry for being a horrible person. Or not. Also I got joy out of Rajah's surprise and excitement over Rama's pregnancy. I still remember finding your comment on our spreadsheet and almost losing it! 😀 you probably hardly knew who I was tho lol And everyone talking about their cold weather is making me lol at my ILs. All the ones visiting are from slightly warmer places and "ooooh it's SOOOO cold! So glad they don't live in New York. Too cold to even play hockey! Etc. etc. etc." Lol Ya, it's winter but it's hardly been down to 0°F/-18°C. There's been wind-chill some, but other than that maybe I have extra pregnancy warmth that makes me feel like it's not that cold.

We braved the cold for a little bit of shopping today and I got these tiny little shoes at Target for less than $5. 😍 They're so small and cute. I just couldn't resist. It's been 18+ years since I've purchased baby boys shoes.

Those shoes are really cute mattsgirl2004! I am super sleepy. I really want to take a nap, but DH isn't home and DD doesn't want to nap.

DH has taken 3 of his nephews snowboarding. I am bummed that I couldn't go, but at least I have a happier reason to miss out than the nephew that is being pallbearer at his former boss's funeral. A fifth nephew randomly decided to travel to the funeral with him. We are confused as to what his motives might be.
I am working on typing up the pages for my baby book.

We went to an ultrasound place for a 3d/4d ultrasound so DD1 can go and see the baby since she can't go to my perinatalist's office. Baby girl is so stubborn and it took a lot of moving and shaking of my stomach but we got a few cute pictures of her chubby cheeks and one with her smirking. She loves to have her hand on her face and kept opening her mouth. It was so cute and now I'm even more impatient to meet her.

cp3 so sweet. I can’t believe we have chubby cheeked babies in our bellies already. I think your DD is going to be a wonderful big sister.

alwayscheese, typing up pages for your baby book? We don't have babies yet...am I behind on something? Tell me your ways because I JUST finished dd3s baby book and I have no album done for our family in 2017. Someday right? Also, I worked out today for the first time in...a very long time. The term work out is loose, but I figure I need to start somewhere right? What are y'all doing to stay in shape or make some effort in this department? I distinctly remember my jelly belly after baby #3 and I know that's where we are headed again, but I also know that doing anything now will make the transition back to getting in shape so much easier. I just need energy to be consistent. What are you doing and what are your secrets?

alwayscheese, typing up pages for your baby book? We don't have babies yet...am I behind on something? What are you doing and what are your secrets? The baby book we got has some pages you can fill out before the baby is here, but they're also easily done after the baby comes too. And, not working out. I swore I would this time but I'm still so sick all the time, it's not happening. I'm focused on how excited I am to work out once this baby comes though.

Not the best pictures but the top picture you can see a little smirk. She kept covering her face with her hands and we could see her cute little fingers. She kept opening her mouth too. I have a disc of pictures in color but can't download them until I'm at work next week because our laptops don't have disc drives.

I swore I would this time but I'm still so sick all the time, it's not happening. I'm focused on how excited I am to work out once this baby comes though. This is me. I swore I would still go to the gym but I maybe do some free weights at home once a week. I'm so exhausted when I get home from work and there is no way I can wake up early to go. Before I got pregnant I was getting up around 4 30 am to go to the gym so I'm sad I wasn't able to keep it up but this pregnancy has been so much harder than my first. I'm determined to get in shape once she's born though.

dizzycooks I'm working on a Word file that I'll do some digital scrapbooking on and hope to be able to be finished and print it out close to baby's birth. I did a pregnancy planner which I started last February but only actually too to Staples to get bound in November. I'm probably being extra with both of them, but it's something I really enjoy doing. I am not actually that good at keeping up with filling it in.
