I’m serioisly so bored you guys. I feel like I need a project. DH is building our headboard & said I could help him stain it but I don’t think I’m allowed while pregnant? I could come up with a new sewing project but don’t know what to make. I can’t walk around every day with nothing to do but wait on this baby lol.

I took up knitting when I was really pregnant with DS. I still have a half finished blanket somewhere in a closet. Lol

I think if you do it in a well ventilated area and wear a mask it is ok. Not official medical advice of course but just what I think is right!

I should be wearing my compression socks and support belt all the time now, not just when I'm at work. My ankles are all swollen and my pelvic varicose vein is not feeling so great. In good news, I didn't get sick this morning! Yay?

I really want a big fat cheeseburger wish there was a wendys on my way home from the hospital. I will for sure grab a coffee as I leave here. Hopefully I don’t get lost, this hospital is seriously a maze. I did have my first successful bfing ses with L, progress. I can’t wait to get this kid home.

It’s so nice to be home. Little man has been so good. He is a sleepy eater which can make for a long night but I have a feeling I will get at least some sleep tonight. After G goes to bed, MH and I are going to put the baby in his jammies. When he is ready for his feeding we will finish that and swaddle him. Hopefully that will result in some sleep for me. I am very not used to taking care of such a small baby. G was almost two pounds bigger than him and she was a great eater. Even dressing him is so much harder because even newborn clothes are big.

Including a few weeks ago.

He is building it in the garage so I think we would be ok for ventilation! I did paint DDs room by myself around 22w but idk if it’s more dangerous now.

I would think less since all major systems are developed and functioning at this point, but I have no research to back me up.

I fell asleep on the couch for about 15 minutes. That was the most I have slept since yesterday morning. It was glorious. MH is doing bedtime with G because I don’t think I can do the stairs tonight. I am going to sleep down here tonight. MH said if I don’t get any sleep tonight, to call him to come down and take over. I may actually be able to do this guys.

Shampooing carpets, washing all the sheets and pillows in my house, sorting baby clothes, oiling baseboards (lol I have like a LOT of nesting energy). Just in case you need ideas! But I would say staining is fine :-)

dragonflyinn I’ve been in baking mode the last couple days. I have muffins and cookies in the freezer and fresh on the counter. I plan on doing a couple pans of squares tomorrow, one to freeze, one to keep out (H was like, do we really need all this baking out? Lol. So maybe I’ll end up freezing more)

rebeccabunch we usually leave up our decorations through most of January. This year Wife took them all down this week while she worked from home. It kinda feels good to have them down, doesn’t it? If I was due any earlier in Jan (I’m end of month) my tree would be down too!

Literally walked through my house room by room yesterday— “what could I do in here?” “What could I organize in here?” And literally nothing left to do lol!

My hubby is a stud. We decided YESTERDAY that we wanted to have a customized headboard & he decided to make it himself. So here he is out in the garage and it’s basically finished!!! Such a go-getter!

Thanks tiffrobot and pippiann unfortunately little man seems to think otherwise. I just went to change his diaper and it was a pee and poop disaster. It was the first time he peed on me...and his clothes, the clean diaper and everything else nearby. I'm also super emotional. Thanks hormones.

I need this nesting energy....stat! seriously. I have the nesting motivation, but no energy to follow through with any of it. Although, I did get most of it done over the last month before i got too big and uncomfortable. It’s more so just keeping my house in order that’s the big thing now. It gets cluttered so damn quickly and i have no energy to keep up with it!

Ive been stalking sales and stocking up on some clothes for PP and they’re all starting to come in the mail and it’s getting me even more excited to shed this baby and have my body back to myself. I have some great slub t-shirts and cardigans and cute joggers pants to lounge in that also look acceptable to leave the house in.

I think we settled on a name for this baby. I’m scared to say it’s definite, since we were so adamant about the last name we chose and ended up getting sick of it haha. But the new name is Han.nah L.ee... first name is sort of naming her after my maiden name since it’s very similar, and L.ee is my MN and my moms MN. My DD1 has MIL’s MN so it makes sense to me to now use my moms/my MN for this next girl.
I’ll probably poof those details later since that’s a lot of personal information to have out on the big wide web haha but I felt the need to explain the details behind the name.
