I’m not sure I would probably wait for it to be restocked before buying the $10 item. It’s been showing out of stock for weeks so that’s why I’m curious. Haha I’ll have to see what it says today.

I hope having a shower for this baby won’t seem gift grabby. We got a lot of hand me down stuff for DS that has been passed down so much we can’t use it again. Plus we had to downsize to move across the country. We have a lot of family here that missed out on #1 so I’m sure they probably want to throw a shower. I’m not a fan of being the center of attention, but I think it would be special. I feel kind of guilty, but honestly I’ll take it. We need things. I don't know if we will have a shower but I'm in the same situation. We were convinced we were done after number 3 and gave everything away. We moved to a new state and gave even more away. However if it ends up being a girl I wouldn't mind having another shower, since we have 3 boys.

Ok so I posted this on GD as well but we made an offer on a house yesterday and we got it!! I am so excited! The inspection company will call on Monday. Also DS1 had surgery on Thursday for tonsil and adenoid removal. He was doing great but today he has a low grade fever and is sleeping. Poor boy.

I told the accounting ladies at work Friday. One of them said 'yay we get to have a shower!!' Hahah, so I may be having a work shower for my second. And it's possible my family will do one, because they do that, but I won't invite friends to it (maybe my best friend because she'd feel left out). In related news... if you had a friend doing a baby brunch for her third kid (gifts not expected) and you wanted to get her a small gift, what would be a good choice for a third boy? They have everything they could need, but I thought I may be fun to do something she wouldn't normally think of? Therefore I have no ideas. Congrats codypup! charlotte check your hospital - mine has twice a week prenatal yoga for $20 a month. $20!

Like snacks and things she can use while she recovers

foxtober I second the snack and essentials basket, like chapstick, water bottle, snacks, tissues, etc. or a certificate for a massage or nails for mom so she can pamper herself.

I am ready for Monday. We have been so busy this weekend that I cannot wait for a day to relax. My only goal tomorrow is to lay on my couch as much as my toddler will allow!

My BFF wants to throw me a sprinkle, and as long as it's close friends only I'm fine with it. I think it's probably more an excuse to get our close girlfriends together since we don't see each other very often. My girls at work have mentioned throwing me a shower at work again, most of my office is age 50+ so they get really excited about babies. There are literally like 3 women of childbearing age in the building and one of them had a baby a couple of months ago and the other has a 10 year old and has said she's done, so I'm it for a while.
I'm not a fan of big to-do showers for second (third, etc) kids unless there's a second marriage or a long gap between kids. My sister is going to have two showers for her second girl (her daughter will be a little over 2 when baby is born) and I know at least one of them will be big because her husband has a big family and his mother likes to go all out. The other one my mom is throwing and will hopefully be smaller. I live across the country so I won't have to endure the circus lol.

Mornings are so rough right now. I stay in bed way too long because I feel good... until I stand up. That’s when the “blah” hits. I dread the “blah”!
I also forgot to pay daycare and didn’t bring a blanket for nap time (they will loan her one). So, solid start to Monday.
I just want to “drink a milk and go night-night,” as DD would say 😴

I keep a pack of mini muffins by my bed which I have affectionately named my "bed muffins" and have a few of them before I get up. It really helps for when I actually get up. I think it's the carbs.

Definitely need me some bread muffins! Hahaha. I did have fruit snacks on the window sill. Sucking on candy-type stuff helps stop the sudden hunger / nausea, I’ve found.

Is this where I confess that all the Kristen Bell avatars are really throwing me off? I love Kristen Bell and I love you guys, but I can't keep all y'all straight. And I feel like it's getting harder over time for some reason. Lol. BUT WHAT DO I CHANGE IT TO??? I feel like she’s my spirit animal...except she’s not an animal... 😂

And I feel like it's getting harder over time for some reason. Two of them move, and one of the movers is plaid. This is who you are in my head. Still Bell, Plaid Moving, Not-Plaid Moving. Are they all from the same show? I only recognize plaid for sure, it's the pilot of the Good Place

Lol. I knew there was mine and another, but hadn’t realized there were three yet. I do love Kristen bell, but the expression in my pic is one I make too often so I used it because I thought it was funny 🤷🏼♀️.

Ok, TMI, but I need something to pull my poop out. I need to go SO BAD, and it’s right there, it just won’t come out. 😭 I so wish there was an elf with some tongs or something who could help pull it out. 😂 DAMN YOU POOP. I WILL GET YOU OUT!

Do you have a Squatty Potty? I got one and it has helped with my pooping issues.

Got my Babylist box! You just set up a registry on there and it tells you what categories of items to put on it to get a box, no requirement to buy anything. It’s cute, it came with a sun hat, some baby cetaphil samples, coupons, a little pampers zip pouch, a Burt’s bees burp cloth and a Lucy Darling alphabet print.

My nausea has gotten so much better the last few days. It's still bad at night but seems to be happening later so I have more time to spend with my H and my son before I am in bed for the night. I hope this continues.

I hope this continues. Same here!! It is glorious to not feel like garbage all day. Mine hits me around the 8pm range now and it is faint, kind of like how it was early on. Fingers crossed we are both done with it and the others join soon. I feel like I have gotten my life back.
