I’m on vacation this week! We’re in the mountains in Vermont. It’s beautiful but so so hot. We’re taking it easy between morning sickness and the heat.

Happy 4th of July. I'm working at the hospital today so no holiday for me. We are going to grill out tonight and I'm hoping my nausea will cooperate enough for me to enjoy it.

We were planning to go to the beach today but looks like it’ll be raining all afternoon 😞 Since we’re now staying home DH decided to smoke a pork butt and some chicken and we’ll do fireworks with neighbors tonight pending weather. Happy 4th of July everyone!

DH has the grill going, we're hosting my family for the holiday today. Used up all my energy getting ready, now just want a long nap out of the heat! My tummy is excited about a burger though, so that's good. Have fun everyone, stay cool!

Happy 4th of July, Americans! (Happy Wednesday, Canadians!)
We're heading to our town's celebration in a few hours. R is being SO whiney today...I really hope he cheers up by the time we head out. Later we'll either watch our town's little fireworks across the street or head to Disneyland for their big fireworks. It will all depend on this little crab.

We had our holiday weekend this past weekend (July 1st is Canada Day) so no holiday here. Took my sister and DD to the beach today. We still have a heat warning in effect so being in the water was wonderful. Home now watching Peppa Pig. I'm not sure yet if I want to throw up or sleep.

Happy 4th everyone!!! I wanted to AW our nursery we painted last night. It took$14 in paint and 5 hours. I'm so so happy with how it turned out. Also why does such a simple design have to be so time intensive!

What are everyone's thoughts on sunscreen during pregnancy? Trying to decide if I should keep plastering it on or invest in a huge brimmed hat.

Foxy wow that looks fantastic! sammysam I’ve been wearing sunscreen. All my skin products are paraben free, so at least that’s something. Otherwise for me the risk of burning to a crisp far outweighs any drawbacks to sunscreen.

I just got a pedicure. When it was time to pay I realized my wallet is in the diaper bag so now I’m sitting here awkwardly at the salon waiting for MH to drive over with it.
Happy Thursday!

Foxy That looks wonderful! Very impressive! sammysam I'm still covering myself in sunscreen (I've already had skin cancer removed, so I have to), but it's not working quite as well as before. I was pink yesterday after reapplying three times. DS's babyganics keeps him from burning and he's super fair, so I may switch to that.

People are so weird about third baby announcements 🙄. I love all announcements. I'm just as excited when friends and family announce their 4th as when they announce their first. Maybe even more so since in an ideal world I would have loved lots of kids but in reality I think I'll struggle with 2:/ My BFF has 4 and the rest of my family (minus me and 1 cousin) have at least 3. Don't let anyone make your happiness over your new baby any less.

CharlieB I'm thinking of using DD's organic sunscreen as well. A study showed Aveeno Baby as being safe too...we're in the sun a lot and I already had one super bad burn in May this year.

Grr Not necessarily rude, most people just react kind of unenthused and throw out a half assed congrats. It’s noticeably different than with the first two. I’m not taking it personally, it’s just weird. my scheduled at work was like, can’t you pick a different season? 🙄🖕 It’s not like winter is a busy time at work for me, if anything it’s slow.

k I'm super excited for you!! It's amazing to have a big family! Foxy um, it takes me 5 hours to tape a room. You are incredible, that room is gorgeous! sammysam oops I didn't even think of sunscreen... My skin hates it so I use a big hat, cardigan, and "sun"brella for even quick hips from the house to car, but I burn instantly...I would just ask the Dr about sunscreen and trust what they say?

Left work early for my appt I was supposed to have, went to the grocery instead, now I’m home and the kids probably won’t be here for another hour. Sit on my ass...or go swim laps at the pool? 🤔

Thanks! The taping was actually pretty easy. It was intimidating at first but once we started slapping it on the wall it just came together. I figured mountains in nature aren't perfect... the walls didn't need to be perfect. It was fun

Foxy that looks amazing! k that’s annoying! Don’t let anyone rain on your parade! I had an appointment today and got to see our little nugget! Everything looks good, and measuring on track. The whole appt took over 2 hrs bc I think they legit forgot about me. It’s a pretty large practice. I met with the obgyn who I saw for my first appointment; she introduced herself and said “I never got the chance to meet you with your first pregnancy” to which I responded, “well actually we just met 3 weeks ago” Another pro towards going with their midwife track vs obgyn
