We also bought a rug for DS new room (he has hardwood floors) and it is so pretty and soft! His room is almost ready to move into. We just need a gate for the top of the stairs, shades, and a box spring. Then I can redecorate the nursery once ds is in his big boy room. You're going to have to AW pictures when done! We are about half way done. It's painted, new ceiling fan and half of the furniture has been put together.

Also, pregnancy rage has crept up again. I'm trying to be more mindful of it but it's not really helping. I used to be such a calm and laid back person and I really miss her at times.

I end up having a container of greek yogurt and a bowl of oatmeal every morning. My usual work lunch is a peanut butter sandwich, a few prunes, and a few cookies. I really hope I don't end up with GD because having to change all that up will be tough.

I don't use the work fridge because it gets gross, so that's the reason for the lunch not having anything cold in it. I could buy a different lunch box that will fit ice packs & different containers.

Amazon has a super mini fridge for $40 that can sit on your desk. I'm looking at buying one for pumping because it can hold up to 6 Medela bottles.

After I had DS I still worked full time at the time and I used to lock the door to my office 3x per day to pump. That small fridge was a must.

I was thinking the same thing about the sudden rage again. I got so upset when my four year old started looking at another book while I was reading to him tonight. I had to just walk away from the situation otherwise a book (or two) would have thrown across the room. What is happening to me??

I've had no patience with DS lately and find myself yelling when I probably shouldn't. I just want to feel like myself againðŸ˜

Add me to the list as one of those with pregnancy rage. It started around 13 or 14 weeks and hasn't gone away. I hate it.
I wasn't around much yesterday. This furniture re-finish is taking way longer to complete than I anticipated. I worked on it all day on both my days off. I do not feel relaxed. Now I'm back to work and have a ton to do. Not looking forward to today.

My new mattress topper was a success. No hip pain last night :-)

I had a mini fridge in my office when I pumped with DD - it was amazing because I pumped in my (locked, private) office, and didn't have to cart milk all around the office. I also kept my lunch and water in there, for convenience, of course.

I just got back from the gym. I only walked for 30 mins on the treadmill but I feel very accomplished :-) It has been a month since I have stepped foot inside whereas before I got pregnant I was working out 5x a week. I needed this small win, so I'm going to savor it.

I'll AW the rest of the room once we get it all finished. I realized I forgot about sheets and pillows, so I need those too. I want to see yours when it's done too!

I'm feeling so blah today. Bed rest is depressing. Even though I'm not on strict bed rest there is really not much I CAN do.
I cleaned the toilets, separated laundry, and started a load and I had to stop and lay down because I was having contractions.
Baby is worth it. It's just hard mentally/emotionally. I don't feel like myself.

I'm sorry notmoose, that sounds brutal. I hope the rest of the pregnancy passes quickly for you. Vent all you want here, we all know you think the baby is worth it - that doesn't take away from how unpleasant you're feeling.

Yes, exactly what catspajamas2 said notmoose. It sounds awful. I'm sorry you're experiencing that.

I'm really trying hard not to buy all the girl things now that we've found out. I may have went a little overboard on clothing. Also, I have tons of things in my Etsy and Amazon cart for decorating the nursery. Someone needs to stop me.
Someone told me about a story where the technician got the sex wrong at an elective screening which freaked me out. I've been studying the pictures she gave us and I'm pretty confident that they're girl parts, but now I'm paranoid. And I've bought all this girl stuff -lol. I'm trying to restrain myself until my official A/S but it's hard.

notmoose did you get that rug from Amazon? It looks very similar to the one I got, I'm thinking of getting the same (but different color) for the baby because it's so soft. I'm using his curtains from the nursery and I bought bedding and some other accent pieces. I think we have a similar color palette. Mine is navy, gray and white.

We usually have oatmeal couple times a week. I put bananas, strawberries and sometimes blueberries in it. I might have to try the peanut butter and brown sugar next time.

I just feel like I need so much more this time around since I got so many clothes at my shower for DS, plus girls stuff is so much cuter😉 I love Etsy, especially when you want that one of a kind piece. My cart is getting full too 😂

No, I found it at Menards! I actually found a white one I wanted at first but I didn't think a white rug was a smart idea for an almost 3 year old. Lol Yep, my color scheme is grays, blues, and white. With dark wood furniture.

I grew up eating it with milk, sugar, and peanut butter. I thought that's how every one ate it until I was an adult. Lol it's so good!
