And per usual, my plate is stacked this week. Our A/C is not working ($300-$8k fix, depending on if we finally need to replace everything. Our HVAC system is 25ish years old) and the vet suspects our dog has Cushing's ($300 test on top of the $2k we've spent in the past month). My real estate license needs renewed and my classes for that are $490.
I'm frantically searching for a money tree, while simultaneously freaking out about all of this, unpaid leave, and then two kids in daycare. Why did I want to be an adult?!

On the body thing, my coworker asked me the other day if I was sure I wasn't having twins. Welp, I'm 32 weeks, so unless #2 is really good at hiding, I'm pretty sure it's just one. I am used to comments like this, unfortunately. There have been lots of ultrasounds, but I sometimes question if there's two or if I'm growing an octopus. There's no way there's ONLY four extremities in there. Hahahaha, I understand that too

I'm ready to purchase my stuff with my completion discount. I shouldn't be getting it yet, but I upped my due date on both my registries so I could get it sooner since baby will be here 3 or 4 weeks sooner. First I need to price compare between Amazon and Target to decide what to get where.

We also haven't decided on a name yet. We're pretty set on a middle name but haven't narrowed anything down yet. Ugh. My to do list is not getting shorter.

I moved most over to target because of the extra 5% with the red card. 2 more weeks until I can get my coupons!

I just had my 28 week appointment and my fundal height was measuring at 37 weeks. I'm trying not to freak out, since the doctor didn't seem that concerned.
1: this is the first time she measured the fundal height 2: I'm short and fat
She had already scheduled me for a growth ultrasound at 32 weeks because of my weight and weight loss surgery history. I've also only gained 3 lbs since my first appointment at 8 weeks.

I don't think I'm getting a dresser for F, just not enough room, but I do need to get some bins to put his clothes in. I'm going to fit what I can into the drawers of the side table I'm putting in his area, and the rest will go into cloth bins that are going to go on the shelves of his changing table. We used a dresser instead of a changing table since that doesn't translate into long-time furniture. A changing pad on top of the dresser works perfectly and I put all his changing stuff into one drawer of his dresser. I'll do the same with L.

I've also only gained 3 lbs since my first appointment at 8 weeks. Fundal height isn't considered a reliable source for measurement anymore since people come in different shapes and sizes. And 32 week growth scans are fairly standard, at least in my area. I do hope you're not having a mammoth baby. If your doctor isn't concerned, then you shouldn't be either...which is definitely easier said than done, I know.

My current practice does but my last one didn't do any. Try not to worry.

fatpony +1 to fundal height isn’t a reliable indicator of baby size. Hoping for peace for you between now and the ultrasound!

Packing sucks, but I am soooo excited to move into the new house. We’ve been there every day for the past week or so doing work, so today I’ve been trying to catch up on things at our current house including, obviously, packing.

I would do this too if it weren't for the fact that my bff is giving me a changing table lol. I know eventually I'll have to get a dresser but I might wait until we move into a house lol

Do their regular baby coupons work on registry orders? Like $10 off $40 baby items and then the completion coupon + the 5%?

Like $10 off $40 baby items and then the completion coupon + the 5%? I think I’ve read that if it’s a monetary amount (like the $10 off $40 like you’ve said) and also when they do the spend X get an $X gift card, then yes, you can also use the completion coupon. But if it’s a percentage coupon, outside of the redcard 5% or a sale, it’s double dipping & no.

A FB friend of mine posted a video of her 4 months old with arms and legs flying, and said that he did that for basically the last 3 months of her pregnancy. I'm thinking to myself "my little guy has already been doing that for a month" lol

His brother did too and he's absolutely a little wild man, so I might have my hands full.

At that point, even though little man was basically just a tadpole with little stubs for arms and legs, he was wiggling everything like crazy. At that point, H said we'd be in trouble. I'm pretty sure we are.

BTW, I can't remember who else it was who said they have really bad heartburn but only drink almond milk, but a warning - DO NOT TRY DRINKING REGULAR MILK. I poured myself 1/4 cup at work today to see if it would help and I couldn't even finish it, it was so disgusting. I guess that's what happens when you haven't drank cow milk in like 4 years.

I tried cows milk but it didn’t help either. I just got prescribed Protonix today for my reflux since I’ve tried every OTC med there is and nothing helped. I just started yesterday drinking apple cider vinegar (horrible!) and aloe Vera juice. I’m literally willing to try anything at this point. It’s so bad.
