Seven things Saturday

[laurensc927]

On some of my other boards we do this. Just list 7 random things about your day/weekend.

[bethkate]

1. I'm 27w today.
2. Last week of 2nd tri!
3. According to Ovia, it's another milestone week in terms of baby's lung development.
4. I'm still dealing with a ton of pain and swelling.
5. All I want to do is lay down, but I was told to stay active.
6. I'm trying to get up at least once an hour for 10 minutes or so, but it's hard.
7. I'm doing my best to stay positive and not let fear and anxiety take over.

1. Had our 4D ultrasound today, was amazing to see her little face
2. It's my mums birthday on Monday and I'm looking forward to going out for a meal
3. I have no idea what I'm going to make for tea in a minute
4. H told me he will put up DD's cot on Monday so Ive gotta order her mattress next week
5. My boobs are currently leaking and I have heart burn
6. Can't get over how cute DD's little button nose is
7. DS was SO good during the scan, just sat and playing with his cars for half an hour

[bethkate]

beefinch, your ultrasound pictures are super cute. The little nose is what I fell in love with with our u/s pictures too.

1. I stayed in bed until after 8.
2. We are going to the farmers market this morning.
3. Our area is under a smoke and heat advisory, going outside is kind of miserable.
4. We were invited to a birthday party at the water park but neither H or I really want to go.
5. This is also my last week of 2nd tri.
6. I need to get up and moving but.. lazy.
7. I'm apparently really boring this weekend because it was hard to think of 7 things.

[misskilljoy]

1. Also 27w today, which some places consider 3rd tri and others consider last week of 2nd. I'm calling it 3rd because I can.

2. I am battling ants on my main floor. I am annoyed. I never had ants before I had a toddler.

3. I just want to sleep today but I am instead going to my aunt and uncle's house for a BBQ.

4. DD is still a bit sniffly and coughing so I will use her as an excuse to bail early.

5. beefinch talking about her 4D ultrasound makes me really want one. A lot. Those photos were great!

6. I out DD's hair in two French braids today and she looks like a five year old. Weird and overwhelming.

7. Monday is a holiday but day care is open. I am irrationally annoyed that MH will be home with me. I was hoping his workplace would be open too so I'd have the day to myself. This is an absurd way to feel since I have Tuesday through Friday to be home alone.

[bubbles]

bethkate, I'm sorry your still in pain. I can't imagine the anxiety all of this has been causing you.

[beefinch]

misskilljoy, I would a thousand percent recommend a 4D scan. It's made my week seeing her face!

[blabbermouth]

1. Pancakes for breakfast! I have been making banana pancakes a lot because it's a perfect way to use up brown bananas.
2. I cut my own mats for the art prints I bought because Michaels wanted $50. They aren't 100%, but 99 is good enough for us.
3. I don't think I like the giant leaf canopy from ikea. It's too big for our small room and somehow doesn't look great with our paint colour.
4. I'm going to crochet a mobile instead with a sun, clouds, rainbow and raindrops!
5.it's a long weekend, yay
6. We might go visit DH's uncle at the lake tomorrow. I'm excited for a swim and hope I have a suit that still fits
7. I'm hoping we'll also get in a hike and picnic.

[pootsen]

1. We are packing up to go stay at a beach house with the ILs.
2. This means that DH and I are crabby and bickering, typical.
3. We can't find my kid's water shoes.
4. Which means that he won't stop asking for them, typical.
5. I wish I could have a drink even though it's only 1130
6. My back hurts already even though it's only 1130
7. Since this whole post was basically one big craxly pregly complaint- I'll end on a positive note- I made a bomb ass chocolate peanut butter lasagna for dessert tonight and I'm excited to stuff my face.

[AnnPerkins]

1. I made a chocolate malt cake yesterday. It is very good.
2. I just finished trimming our front bushes with our new electric hedge trimmer and I'm feeling very powerful.
3. But also everything hurts.
4. DD and I have to go to target in a bit for a last minute birthday present, then head to the party.
5. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to stay or not. 6 and up parties are always very murky about that.
6. If I do stay, it will kind of cut into my making a lasagna plans for dinner.
7. Last night confirmed that my vagina no longer wants anything to do with sex and I'm very emotional about it. DH is annoyingly understanding.

[laurensc927]

1. I made chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast, they were delicious.
2. H is putting the new windows in the baby's room today.
3. It's nice to feel like we are finally starting to get things ready.
4. I was 24 weeks on Thursday and promptly felt no movement all night.
5. We are back to moving this morning so it is my understanding this kid just wanted to freak me out.
6. I cleaned the bathroom including washing the walls, I think I'm nesting.
7. I need to be a little more productive, I feel bad sitting around while MH is working so hard.

[thatgolfb]

1. I woke up to the ILs bringing me a cold brew and lemon loaf from SBux which is the best

2. I got DD into a gymnastics class last minute and she went with the ILs and H while I worked out

3. I caught the end of gymnastics and DD did a great job. Also so cute in her leotard (pic to follow)

4. We just went to wal mart so that the ILs could buy DD a bike. She picked a Spider-Man one lol.

5. H needs to go get fitted for a tux for the wedding he is in in less than a month. I and MIL have both been reminding him for like 2 months. Today is the last day so she is taking him to make sure it gets done.

6. It is 11 am and I am ready for a nap

7. I'm also already thinking about lunch

[thatgolfb]

Poof

[shibes]

1. Baby has been moving like MAD.
2. I'm super nervous about moving back to the middle of nowhere vs living in the city.
3. I'm going to miss the ocean.
4. Birds are not my favorite animal.
5. I would breed Shiba puppies if I could.
6. Yasso ice cream bars are almost better than the real thing.
7. I had a lot of 2 cup of coffee days this week. Shame.

I LOVE Yasso! Over the last year or so they've started sponsoring a lot of races near me, and they're an awesome treat after a hot run.

[shibes]

bethkate the cookie dough ones are 16 carbs which is a GD dream lol.

[grumpycat]

1. Found out that my full-time job will likely be a part-time job after 8/15 ... I'm not heartbroken. The 45 minute commute is getting really uncomfortable and will just continue that way until mat leave.
2. Went to a birthday party and tried VERY hard not to side-eye the parents not watching either of their children (about 1 year old and about 2.5 year old). The 1 year old did a nose dive into DS' friend's cake. It was amusing but we didn't even know who to ask if the kid was allowed to have cake or what. DH and I tend to helicopter because of DS' energy level/proclivity to get into trouble VERY quickly.
3. I think we are doing a Target run this afternoon, they sent me some good coupons the other day!
4. Heartburn already. Sigh.
5. My MIL will be here next weekend. I'm excited for her to see DS. She lives 6 hours away so we only get to see my in laws once a month or every two months. We went to visit in July and I predict my in laws will try to come down every month until baby arrives.
6. I miss starfishing the bed. DH was breathing in my face last night and I pushed him over. #sorrynotsorry
7. I'm counting tomorrow as third tri (27 weeks) because I feel like I'm in the third tri. Baby kicked DH really hard last night and he was just like WHOA.

[grumpycat]

bethkate, do you have a fitbit? You could always set it to go off so it reminds you to move around every hour. Mine yells at me if I don't get 250 steps an hour, but you can change the settings too. I'm thinking of you! It's hard to attempt to be active when you are still in pain/swollen.

pootsen, packing is AWFUL. Want to share that dessert recipe?? Lol.

[bethkate]

grumpycat, I do, but it's a Fitbit one (had it almost 4 years!) I'll have to see if it has a setting like that.

[bethers]

1. Have a cold, so DH let me rest this morning (usually we both get up with DS).
2. I cancelled on my barre class because of the cold, but am annoyed that I didn't get to go.
3. I'm starting to panic about getting things ready. I feel like we had so much more done with DS at this point. And our furniture will arrive soon - and there's still furniture in the room to get rid of, no paint, and no new ductless air unit ...
4. DH is napping because DS got up early. Even though he let me sleep, I'm irrationally annoyed because I want to make plans on how to get things done and he's asleep.
5. I will probably join him in the napping soon as a way to get over
my irrational annoyance.
6. I want to purge all the things, but currently lack the energy to do it solo.
7. DS got a haircut and looks like such a big boy! Makes my heart melt.

[grumpycat]

bethers, I feel you on the binge cleaning! I spent 3 hours at work on Friday just organizing and getting rid of old papers. It was cathartic. I hope you are feeling better soon!

Cool whip desserts usually aren't my favorite, but my ILs love them and this one looked scrumptious. And the bits I tasted while making it were pretty good too 😜

[bethers]

grumpycat - thanks! I went through my clothes a month ago and it felt so good. Now I want to move the toys that DS doesn't play with to storage ... and I want to buy all the storage things, like a shelf for the office, etc. It's dangerous because I feel good enough to shop online! DH may want to wake up soon!

[thatgolfb]

shibes I haven't been tracking my caffeine intake at all. I'm not worried lol.

[snuff9861]

1. Went for groceries this morning.
2. Followed by a pedicure.
3. Then had to go BACK to Walmart because all of my cookies were smashed and I was ENRAGED.
4. I got Vietnamese food for supper.
5. We're going to a wedding tomorrow night;
6. Thus we will get to sleep KID FREE.
7. I bought half price Birkenstocks.

[blabbermouth]

snuff9861, where'd you find the half priced Birks? I think I'd kind of like a pair, but I don't LOVE them, so that sounds about the right price to me!

[cnf]

Hi. I'm here.

1. We took DD to her first movie today and she did great!
2. Then she had a blow out dump in the mall and we had to buy her a new shirt. Oops.
3. Today was the first day that I had legitimate back pain beyond my SI joints. Total general pregnancy pain versus ill placed baby.
4. The amount of BH I'm getting is ridiculous. I'm also getting deep, fairly painful menstrual like cramps. It was basically the precursor to my prodromal labor last time. Damn irritable ute, fuck off already.
5. I'm finally giving my mom her birthday IP tomorrow. I've had it since prime day and it's killing me holding onto it.
6. I'm going to eat so much pasta tomorrow for my mom's birthday dinner out.
7. And I'm going to run tomorrow because it's going to be lovely out and I need to.

Shoe company/town shoes.

ETA: PS Once you wear them you will love them. I was a devoted flip flop wearer until I got a pair. Haven't touched a pair of flip flops in 3 years.
