Morning! No snow here, yet, but I hear it's coming!! I love seeing the words bombogenesis and bomb cyclone thrown around. They closed schools last night so Charlie slept in til 620, and Josie is just stirring. Hope all the East Coasters stay warm and safe.

Morning! Took ds to get fresh croissants & rolls this morning. It’s a short 5-7 minute walk, but with stops to look at things on the way, it will take us 30 minutes or so. We do this every morning while we’re here, I love our little morning routine. Swimming is in the agenda for this afternoon & then maybe some pancakes in the park restaurant. Hope all the sickies are feeling better today!

Keep safe New England. Hope you all have plenty of food, hot chocolate and wine in your houses to survive the cold!
ETA just read that areas more south are also being hit by the cold, so hope people who live there stay safe too of course!

MH desperately wants to know if this baby is a boy or girl. He wasn't like that at all with the last time. He's been asking me every day to find out! He's making me super tempted, so not sure what to do. Do I find out or just wait the 16.5 weeks until he/she comes out!?

When I was feeding the baby at 4, there was no snow. Now it's coming down hard and the wind is crazy. T woke me up because he peed the bed. His preschool is open until noon but I'm not sending him. My big plans today involve organizing the linen closest and trying on my clothes.

Schools are closed here but I don’t think we have a lot of snow. I’m happy to not have to go to work today. Z got us up at 5:45 though so no sleeping in. Boo.

guster, seriously. I'd never heard the term bomb cyclone before. Pretty sure somebody just made that up and says it's a thing. This tweet made me laugh. Maybe cry a little, too. wineallthetime, I'm thinking about having the ultrasound tech put the baby's sex in an envelope for us. That way if we cave this time, it'll be easier to find out. I'll store it in the safe lest one of the girls get her hands on it.

Morning! Shockingly N's daycare is closed😑. The city rarely closes. J had a fever in the middle of the night, but I was still planning on taking her so I could easily work while he watches 8 hours of tv straight. Foiled. We only got an inch or so, and MH says the roads are fine.. so we may venture to the pediatrician if she wants us to come in.
Have fun east coasters with more snow and healthy kids that can play in it!

I was so happy to find out at the anatomy scan so then i could start planning and thinking about the baby as a real person, boy or girl.

wineallthetime do you have more u/s planned? If not make yh plan one, if he does that he really wants to know! In all seriousness, I loved not knowing & the surprise! With ds only Dh and I knew, it was a compromise between me and Dh (he wanted to know, I didn’t). With dd we were team green, even though we had 7 u/s!

We had a bunch with both girls. Wasn't sure we'd make it through. With S, I got a pretty good view accidentally. No surprises when she came out a girl.

She said I'll have 1 (or a couple?) growth scans in the 3rd trimester because of a medication I'm on. I think I could just call and they'd be able to tell me though since I already had my AS. I love being team green too and worry that if I found out I'd regret it. Especially since I think this will be our last baby.

ladystrat I know! To be honest, two of them were too early to tell and during one out tech said that even if we had wanted to find out, we wouldn’t have been able to because of the position she was in. We always made sure to tell the techs we didn’t want to know.

We considered going green this last time but found out for my oldest who was having a hard time with his anxiety.

wineallthetime I only did team green for my third and would not do it again if I had another baby. Just an opinion from someone who has done both. It was really fun at the end like the second when she was born but that’s about it.

I like that it's a happy surprise. You're never disappointed with the outcome.

My big plans today involve organizing the linen closest and trying on my clothes. Re-organizing the linen closet is one of my favorite chores in the house. I think it's because everything folds up into a square or rectangle so it's super easy and always looks perfectly neat.

I need to do every inch but the linen closest seems not as scary as other projects. The linens themselves aren't bad but I have all the extra toothpaste, soap, shampoo and such just tossed in there. I bought a bunch of small containers with lids at Target yesterday. Hopefully, they will fit.

I've always thought it'd be fun to be (warm and toasty inside) in a big blizzard. But then I think of things like shoveling snow and whatnot and decide it's better to look at pictures. Stay safe and have fun! Just work today. Hoping for a slow day so I can get some of my take home test complete.

Stay safe all you East coast ladies! wineallthetime You've made it this far, I'd just keep going team green. If your H wants to know, have him call your doctors office and see if they can tell him, but would he be able to keep it a secret from you or would he slip up? I wish I could have been team green, but I really wanted to know, so I could plan accordingly. H is back to work today, I'm not feeling as yucky as I did last night, so hopefully I got the abbreviated version of what crap is in my house.

The closet is empty (onto the couch.) I don't need to buy another razor or toothbrush until I retire. I apparently have a razor/toothbrush hoarding problem.

If he slips then he slips. I am really tempted to find out this time because I really have no clue if it's a boy or girl. The other two times I had pretty strong feelings.

The last 2 you waited and no one will think any different of you for doing it differently this time.

Morning! N is home sick today. I’m not sure if she’s playing me or not. She woke up saying her head hurt and has a cough, but I’m not sure how serious it is, but it doesn’t hurt to keep her home since I’m off anyway.
H has his post op check this afternoon. During nap time. Hoping to keep him up until after so both kids will take a good nap.
