grover glad it turned out fine! Mine is a stinker and does that every other week. I have finally started to have DH take those days off because I’m so unable to predict if I’ll be able to get home in time to pick up the kids from school etc. It’s soooo draining to be in there worrying all day, I hope you got a good sleep last night!

I took a benedryl last night because I’m super stuffed up. I haven’t slept between the hours of 2:30-6:30 am in actual weeks, but I did last night and I feel like a new human. Wish I could do that every night!

Wish I could do that every night! Benadryl was my savior for sleep my last two pregnancies. I took it fairly regularly with both. I dont seem to have the insomnia this time that I did the other two so I havent taken it this pregnancy.

Yeah I’m not worried about the frequency of taking it so much as the mental crutch aspect, I struggle with sleep even when I’m not pregnant so I have to be really strict with myself! But gosh, it was some glorious sleep.

My older sister offered to take DD overnight and to the Lego movie. My H and I are just sitting here like, what do we do now??? The house is so quiet, lol.
We've got a few more things to set up, organize, and clean. The pack and plays are in our room and the nursery is starting to come together! Need to do a bit more baby laundry though, double check car seats, and REST. I am nesting but I get tired so easily.
I think we're going to make nachos tonight and watch the Ant Man movie on Netflix. 😃

I've been in nesting mode too and have to do small batches at a time because I get so worn out - I cleaned the floors in 2 rooms today and feel like my belly and legs are going to fall off 😂 I can't imagine how it would feel with twins, lol. You also reminded me I need to bring up the car seat and bouncer/etc and wash get those covers washed.

Eames, I wish someone would offer to take my toddler! LOL Also, H and I were just discussing how we still haven't watched the 2nd AntMan movie. Our PnPs are set up on the first floor, swings are set up on first floor, cribs are set up in nursery, and all handmedown clothes are washed. I have 2 big tubs of 6-9+ clothing that I think we are going to store under the cribs. I have no idea how I'm going to fit all the nb, 0-3, 3, and 3-6 month clothes in the 5 dresser drawers. Already all the size 6 month stuff is hung in the closet, but I really don't want to hang more, and I am thinking of trying the kon mari folding method for the smaller stuff in the drawers. I absolutely want to minimize the amount of times I need to swap out sizes because I'm lazy, and I'm going back to work at 8 weeks (break for summer break, then back again at work for August) with 3 kids 2 and under. No thank you! I installed the car seat bases in the car, but want to get them checked. A local twin mom in the multiples group offered other multiple moms free car seat checks- she's a certified car seat technician, so I want to schedule that once I'm written off work.

Yay for having an evening to yourselves Eames! I’ll be 33 weeks tomorrow. Is it too early to start washing her clothes? We got the crib this past week, but the headboard was cracked, so they’re sending us a new one. We have a 20% coupon to Buy Buy Baby, so I think we’re going to order an extra car seat base with that. We haven’t ordered our car seat yet, but I think we’ll do that this weekend from Amazon. I’ll feel better once we have the crib and the car seat.

orangehibiscus I don't think it's too early - but I wouldn't take tags off/wash *all* of the nb or preemie clothes if you got them just in case baby girl doesn't fit them and you want to exchange! All our clothes were hand me downs but I've had them washed and put away for a few weeks now. I had up to 12mo though so it was quite a chore, lol.

That’s a good idea not to take tags off and/or wash all NB clothes. We have a good bit of them too. I will probably just wash a few things and hope she will fit into them. I should probably wash a few 0-3 things too.

DD was over 9 lbs when born, so she wore newborn for the first week or so then straight into 0-3 months. I was glad I had a few things, but I honestly think she mostly wore side snap shirts and swaddles for the first month or so.
We've been working all day and got sooooo much done. Ready to put my feet up soon.

I want to be nesting especially with DD at my parent's for the weekend but I have a nasty hemmoroid. Yay pregnancy. So I'll stick to the laundry.

I got up at 3:30 to pee, and it now takes me about an hour or more to fall back asleep. I laid there until H’s alarm went off at 4:45 (he’s going ice fishing). I dozed off for a few minutes after he got up, but then he came back in our room to get something, and I woke up. So I’ve essentially been up since 3:30. So tired today!
I’ve already put dishes away and started laundry. I need to check on the chickens and eat breakfast, but I’m loving my spot on the couch watching TV. Baby girl is moving a lot too, so that’s fun to feel/watch.

I’m at the point of nesting where it feels too early to do all the things I need to do, like car seat and moving baby gear downstairs. I’ve mostly just been cleaning out random closets instead. I made H bring bottles downstairs, but I’m not even sure what to do with them since I do plan on starting out with breastfeeding.

I want to get all the things out and ready but, do not want all that out 5 weeks early, lol. I cleaned out the office so we could get the crib put up, but then thought why take up all that space for an extra month? Same with washing covers of all the baby gear. I could do it now but I'd just stick it back in the basement and then probably want to wash it again when we actually bring it up, haha. I keep telling myself I'm not guaranteed 5 more weeks but....I don't want to accept that, 🤣

I'm in the same boat! If I have the baby the same time as my first, it could be 13 days away or it could be 6 or 7 weeks if I go on time or late.
I am stopping work at 36 weeks and I plan to do it all then. I had R at 35 weeks so I do have the basics at least accessible if need be.

I have everything washed and put away. The babys room has kind of been a catch all for all things baby related, so you guys inspired me to get off my butt and organize. I just washed the rug that was in there and now I'm going to wash the floors. I installed the car seat base yesterday when it was nice out. I figured there may not be another nice day before the baby is here and I needed to vacuum the car and rearrange Ds1 and 2's car seats. I have 36 hours until 37 weeks and then its game on to get baby out!
I also didnt wash anything newborn that was new. I have had a 7.25 lb baby and a 9lb baby, so depending on the size of this babe I may not need newborn.

+1 to the wanting to do everything, but it feels too early club
There’s so much stuff that we don’t have still. My shower is 2 weeks from yesterday. We will know what else we need to get after that.

I am in the STM+ club of people who forgot everything. What do I need to put in the diaper bag? I have some nb diapers, wipes, a change of clothes and some hand sanitizer. I know I'm forgetting things.

YogurtA shirt for me is genius. I keep a boba pack in my car. But I have an extra wrap I can throw in the diaper bag for the early days, that's a good idea.

I know I'm forgetting things. Pacifier in case they use it? I always kept a Ziploc bag and extra walmart sack to put wet clothes or anything that got dirty in. A travel size thing of diaper cream. Small burp cloth to clean up spit up. Not really needed yet, but a small toy.

I bought a cheap weekend bag to use last time so I might bring it again, it's big enough that it would fit my pillow in it. Otherwise I have a Thirty One bag I'll be using as a diaper bag this time that I thought about using too because it's a little smaller. Once I get around to actually collecting everything together to pack I'll decide which one I need, lol.
