K got up super early so I'm chugging coffee. I hope it's quiet today since my motivation is slim to none. We have are celebrating a bday at work so at least there will be cake later.

Morning! I have no idea what I feel like doing today, although I should probably go to the mall. One of my SILs is getting married next weekend and her bridal party is doing some sort of lunch Sunday that I've been invited to and I have no idea what I'm going to wear. So my giant ass needs some clothes.

So my giant ass needs some clothes. I just went shopping last week for a dress for my cousin's wedding. I'm a huge fan of Dress Barn. They didn't exactly have my size in the store this time (just my bad luck) but I went online and bought 3 dresses for $4 since I had a coupon, gift card and free shipping. They come tomorrow and I can't wait to see how they look. I have a coupon code for 20% off a single item both in store and online. Pm me if you want it.

Happy Friday to everyone! I got some good news from my MFM on Thurs - my pregnancy complications are finally improving, which means I might be cleared for modified bed rest once I hit 24 weeks (next week). The thought of actually being able to get out of the house and take DS to school and pick him up is super exciting...I've been on bed rest since I was 8 weeks and have only been allowed to leave the house for doctors appointments.
Fingers crossed it all works out!🤞🤞🤞🤞

I didn't do a lick of work yesterday other than checking my email so today I have serious goals for myself!
I also can breathe out of my nose again, so I feel justified in laying low yesterday.

sheilathetank I could sit on our balcony...but it's the rainy/hot season where I live, with temps around 95 - 105 degrees every day and 99% humidity. So I haven't been super interested in sitting outside. There is a chaise by the window, and I park myself there sometimes and watch the neighborhood/street activity below. We're in an urban area, so there's actually a lot to see. I'm like the guy in that movie rear window...or a cat...it's a toss up!

I would be using this time to take up a hobby or learn a new language on duolingo, or do one of the 10,000 things I said I would do if I had time. Was your last pregnancy like this as well?

I found out last night that I got the job that I interviewed for last week! I initially received an email to contact HR, which I thought meant I hadn't gotten the job (I assumed they would call me), so I prepared myself before making that call. So I was beyond surprised when they offered me the position!

sheilathetank Luckily I've been able to keep myself busy with work during the day - I am in the investment/finance field, so lots of conference calls and spreadsheets that I can do while on bedrest. I do miss my yoga and Muay Thai kickboxing hobbies...and doing normal everyday stuff with DH and DS. I have been reading a lot more, so that's been good. I also started working on the baby book for this baby, and updating the one I already have for DS. Oh, and I've done a ton of personal finance and online picture organizing that I had been meaning to tackle. So I guess the time hasn't been totally wasted...but yeah, it'll be nice to actually leave the house for reasons other than a doctor's appointment. ETA - my last pregnancy had some complications (I had to have emergency abdominal surgery when I was only 14 weeks pregnant), but I wasn't put on bedrest last time.

I'm so happy it is Friday but yet happy not to be at home with my IL's at the same time.
We are also doing respite this weekend as well so we will have 3 kids this weekend along with celebrating H's grandparents 65th wedding anniversary.
Not sure if that was our brightest decision but somehow we need to have IL's understand our new crazy life. If that means they see the meetings, dr appts, random cancelations, meltdowns, etc that might help them "get it"

I hope you're able to get off bed rest soon Taitai! I can't imagine how tough that has been, especially with a little one to look after. Congrats on the new job billmurray!! butlerfan, I've always been very strict with nap times and back when I just had DS1, my mom never understood. She would always try to guilt me into letting him skip naps so she could see him even though I told her over and over that he's a mess without naps and skipping them isn't worth it. Finally, I had her babysit one day and DS1 didn't get a nap and apparently was a terror. She no longer bothers me about making him skip naps. Sometimes people just need to experience things before they fully understand them. I hope your ILs seeing what your day to day life looks like now will help them understand why you have the rules that you do.
