I just shoveled the driveway while the girls napped. It was so cold outside my eyelashes had icicles! When DH gets home we are heading to meet his family at a hotel to go swimming. The girls are so excited. I am saying a prayer that I can squeeze into one of my regular swimsuits because I don't own a maternity suit and I am not buying one just for today 😂😂

I've been thinking a lot about names....I put up a post on the "baby names" part of the forum, here it is (below). Any thoughts from you ladies? DS is Ethan and his middle name comes from DH's family so I'd like to use a name from my side for DD's middle name. I feel like Vivian is my current fave but it didn't get a lot of love over on the other thread! We have a baby girl arriving in a few weeks and I'm just looking for unbiased opinions! DH and I are both going to try to narrow down our lists over the next few days. I'm leaning towards using Pearl for her MN (family name). For first names, I like: Lydia Vivian Eliza Clara Roselyn Gillian Veronica
Any feedback is appreciated!I prefer Lydia, Eliza, Clara, and Roselyn. I think they all sound lovely with Pearl.

I went out and bought some nursing bras and tops this morning. There aren’t many options here and man is it expensive! Hopefully it’s enough to get me started.
Now I’m debating taking a nap or reading my book while my husband an BIL install the new water softener. Living the good life lol

I did that in the summer when I was very pregnant, so I didn't have to get a new suit. I did have to get a new top so my huge boobs would fit but it worked fine.

Now I’m debating taking a nap or reading my book while my husband an BIL install the new water softener. Living the good life lol My go-to outfit will be nursing tank tops OR mat tank tops that I can pull the neck down on with a nursing bra, with a cardigan of some kind or kimono, and leggings. I try to do whatever colors I can find in the tanks and then use what I already have in my open cardi arsenal I hope that helps! I am thinking about getting a pair of "bounce back" high waisted leggings and work pants for when I go back to the office. I posted a flannel shirt type open cardi / nursing cover that I looove.. Yday? I've already started wearing them. Sooo comfy and NOT HEAVY bc man I am running so hot.

sunfrogger I’m hoping to do the tank tops with open cardigans and button down shirts as well! Thankfully I don’t have to get anything dressy to wear to work. Working in a bakery I can get away with most stuff. Leggings for the win!

I have a few old ones from DD that I will use the first few days but I want to order some new nice ones once my milk comes in!

96oz of water down for today! My pee is like crystal clear lol. I just don’t want to be as swelled up as I have been lately & I know I haven’t been drinking nearly enough water so I’m trying go get four bottles done by 6pm so I can hopefully pee it all out before bed haha. My hydroflask holds 32oz so that would be a good amount I think.

Lots of contractions today, but just the "practice ones" like DH calls them. But my belly is now sore.
We were working on potty training this weekend but I think we'll abort. E basically just held everything from 7:30am to 12:30pm and told me "I'm NEVER going to pee and poop on the potty like mama and daddy" so we called it quits for today. I'd rather wait a few weeks and try again and see if he is more in to it. I was using the Bob the Builder "yes we can!" but he sang back to me "I can't!" and it was actually pretty dang cute.

That is impressive dragonflyinn! I'm a pretty good water drinker, once the nurse at the OB said she'd never seen urine as clear as mine. Uh, ok?! Some days I get behind on hydration though.

I’m usually so good about it when I’m not pregnant but peeing so much in third trimester makes me crazy & not want to drink anything haha. But I couldn’t sleep at all last night bc of dwelling so I want to avoid that tonight.

I'm excited to start seeing more babies being born! We still have many things to get. We haven't actually bought anything yet. We donated a lot of dd3's baby things as we were leaning toward being done. My mom and sister visited us these last four days and brought a huge suitcase of baby clothes given to us by my older cousin. MIL said she'd take us shopping in mid-Jan.
Induction in about five weeks. *faint*

I’ve been reading but not posting lately so forgive me. We got home yesterday from the hospital and are getting adjusted at home. Brooklyn barely slept last night so I’m trying to get used to a newborn again. Also my pp bleeding really picked up today because I think I overdid it yesterday and last night. Today I’ve mainly been focusing on relaxing and pumping. Here’s and pic of my girls today!

That is funny. I haven't been very aggressive with potty training DS since I'm general he doesn't seem super interested and I don't want to deal with a regression once baby is born. Sometimes he will tell me when he has to poop and I will ask if he wants to go on the potty and he says"nope!"

Yeah, flippinchica, I'm not in much of a rush either. Since E started his new/temporary day care though, he's been talking a lot about pooping and peeing and stuff so we figured we'd give it a whirl! We'll bring back the diapers though for now. I was originally thinking more like spring break to try.

Also, I’ve never stained anything in my life, pregnant or not. I can’t decide if this means I’m lazy or missing out or just not familiar with DIY furniture making or refurbishment.

Working in a bakery I can get away with most stuff. Leggings for the win! FFSC: I work in an office setting that is business casual.. I have been pushing the envelope with leggings since about October because nothing else fits mama. By the time I go back we should be in Summer Casual again so I can get away with more as well. And... truly? IDGAF, lol.

My DD is younger but my H and I just decided to hold off a little while as well. DD just turned 2 last month and showed LOTS of interest signs etc. However, she's regressed and we don't really have the wherewithal to push it right now. Maybe while my H is home on leave with me we can try again.

We survived (kinda) the football game! We arrived at the end of the first quarter because no one was in any hurry to sit in the cold. The game was fun but those TV time outs for an NFL game are killer. It’s 11 degrees! Get on with it! We left at the end of the third because our team was winning by quite a lot. My mom and DH were really feeling the cold. I was doing ok, so I think it’s true what they say about pregnant women feeling the temperature about 15 degrees higher than it is. It was definitely not comfortable though, my toes were suffering and I wasn’t crying any tears over getting in a warm car a little early.

I tried to have a glass of champagne and heartburn ruined it 😩 Oh bummer! I’m having a glass of prosecco at midnight, which will probably keep me up all night. I so miss bubbly, I’m planning to have someone bring me a bottle of something good in the hospital to celebrate the new baby (and if all goes to plan, never doing the whole pregnancy thing again. Twice is plenty for me!)
