cara I am team green and have bought girl stiff because I feel like it's a girl. Lol Nothing too crazy... a pack of girly onesies, a couple dresses, mittens, and a couple outfits. But I get it, it's so hard not to buy everything.

I had some time after a meeting and hit up a nearby thrift store and bought a few onesies. I totally forgot how tiny those things are. They look like doll clothes!

sasam, hope you feel better! +1 to pregnancy rage. I'm usually pretty chill, and only get frustrated, but the other night I yelled at DD for the first time and she started crying, I started crying. it sucked. And suddenly, I'm starving. Want to eat everything in sight. It's annoying. And my weight gain is showing up mostly on my face and back and it's so ughhhh.

A project that Iβve been working on for a year has a 1st phase release tonight. Itβs an application and I work on the program side of things and have had to work with and IT team to get this application re-written. So we shall see tomorrow if things are going to be smooth. Fingers crossed.

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. Oh that's pretty! 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 took a risk buying it from Amazon without seeing it first but it had a lot of good reviews and it was exactly what I was looking for. Are you waiting to do your nursery until after you know the sex?

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. That sounds good too! 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! I always make mine with milk too because with water is just gross to me ha ha. Luckily my very picky eater approves.

I'm no help. 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 was obsessed with oatmeal and PBJ when pregnant with ds. I seriously ate that every day in 3rd tri. I love oatmeal. And it's pretty good for you so win!

Are you waiting to do your nursery until after you know the sex? I'm going to mostly leave the nursery the same. The color and furniture will stay. So I'm just going to do new decorations. I'm between elephants or bunnies. MH says elephants but I really like bunnies.

I've been thinking a lot about nursery colors. I'm envisioning rose gold, gray, and white with touches of gold.

I've had a headache since yesterday afternoon.
My mom is flying in tonight for a couple of days. She wants to keep J home tomorrow while DH and I work. We'll see how that goes since he doesn't really know her.
J turns 2 tomorrow. My baby! He got a proper, big boy hair cut last weekend and he looks so grown up. It's hard to remember him ever being a teeny, tiny baby.
Once my mom goes home, we should really be able to start rearranging the house and getting things done. I'm looking forward to actually being able to prep for this little one.

Ok, I'm about to get very controversial in here. I just need to say it, Oatmeal is gross. I used to agree, but then I added salt. It made all the difference. I've since discovered that adding peanut butter has the same effect and makes for a filling mid-morning snack.

catspajamas2 , have you tried steel-cut oats? i find rolled oats pasty and bland as a hot cereal but i love steel-cut oats. How do you make yours? I've tried the instant kind with peanut butter and the regular oats overnight in yogurt.

I cook mine with whole milk, then afterwards I add about half a banana, cut into small pieces and mix well to give a nice thickness. I then add either strawberries or blueberries.

How much pb do you add? Last time, I felt like I added aot, but it was still bland I add about a tablespoon for a 1/2 c (dry) of oatmeal. I also usually add a bit of jam and a tiny bit of brown sugar. My other favorite combo is raisins and spice - so raisins, cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar or maple syrup.

2 cups water for every 1 cup of steel-cut oats. cook until tender, about 30 min (it cooks quicker if you soak it overnight 1st). i usually add either chopped apple (+raisins) or frozen berries and also some cinnamon/nutmeg. a big batch lasts all week in the fridge. scoop out and reheat in microwave with milk.

I am STRUGGLING with the no sex. We mostly stopped having sex at 5 weeks after it caused spotting. Before being put on pelvic/bed rest we probably had sex 5 times since 5w.
It has been 4 weeks so far. And damn pregnancy sex dreams do not help.
And Idk if it's the lack of sex or pregnancy hormones but MH just seems super attractive lately. Like obviously I always find him attractive, but he seems EXTRA to me.
