Don't mind me, I am just here to bitch again about weddings with my kids. BIL got married today. I am looking at all the pictures on Facebook and feeling a little sad that we aren't in any of them - the rehearsal dinner and wedding both started at 7 so we made brief appearances at both before heading out at 8. We are really strict with our kids' bedtime routine so they are usually in bed by 7:30-8 and they were both overtired little monsters so I took them home. DH's family is mad at me for it and also thinks I'm nuts because all his other family members put their kids to bed whenever they feel like it (usually 9-10 pm, even the toddlers) so of course they are fine staying up that late. It would have been better if I could drink, lol! I left DH there to party so he owes me :-P tomorrow is our 11 hour drive home and then I should be around more, sorry to be such a lurker lately!

I'm a bit of a mess this weekend. Can't tell if it's just pregnancy hormones/recent pregnancy complication stress/ or if I've just lost it completely 🤔 We had our doctors appointment yesterday and the placenta hasn't moved up enough and the umbilical cord is kinda low in the cervix area. I didn't really get too much information on this because I was in a bit of a blur but i now have to switch to a high risk Ob instead of my regular one. Trying to remain smart and stay off google for this - so if anyone has any insight that's not horrific or worst case scenarios I would love to hear it! Also the ultrasound report showed that we are actually having a boy. So I guess the bloodwork was wrong somehow, not sure. Trying to work through everything but I do feel a bit disappointed and sad. Sending you big hugs. I'm sorry your placenta hasn't moved and that you have to see another doctor. I'm also really sorry about the confusion over the sex. I've made it known here already that I was hoping for a girl, so if I had been told that just to later find out it was actually a boy, I would have been pretty upset. Your blood test was the sneak peek right? I've read about this happening with that one unfortunately. Did you see an ultrasound picture of the penis? What did your doctor say? Is he 100% sure now that it's a boy or is it still a little fuzzy? I know you're in Canada so it's different than here but can you pay for another scan?

I drank nearly 1/4 of a gallon of milk with supper, is that bad? MIL looked at me like I was crazy.

And I'm awake at 4 am. Woke up to pee but going outside our camper was chilly and woke me up. A dream I had also has me rehashing a close friendship that basically ended like over a year ago and I'm extremely close to crying. Stupid hormones, let me sleep.
Now how to entertain myself without waking the others.

Sorry, that sucks. I tend to be loosy goosey with sleep schedules when there are special things going on but I have friends that are strict like you. Too bad y'all couldn't have had a babysitter or something. Good luck on the long drive!!!

I wouldn't have minded staying later but my kids just had a total meltdown. It gets to a point where I can stay with squirmy tantrumy overtired kids or just go home and put them to bed. Blech. H came home very drunk 😂 he is lucky he feels fine this morning! Now we are on the road home and I have a job interview at 8 am tomorrow.

Once they are losing it, there is no fun in staying!

I helped DH run his booth this weekend at a Gun show and my legs and feet are killing me. And I was awake from 1-4 and from 6-alarm thus morning. I was having shooting pain in my neck and shoulders for some reason which kept me up. I can't wait til we can pack up the booth and I can go home and lay down.

Great stash! We cloth diaper, so I'm here if you ever have specific questions. Thanks!! One of my BFFs has been doing it the last couple years so she directed me to this seller and we got a couple extra deals because we put an order in together so that was nice. But I have a few random questions that always pop up that I feel silly asking all the time baha, I'll spread the love out more 😄[/quote] We cloth diaper too so feel free to throw out any questions as y'all are going along!

Afternoon y'all! DD just went down for a nap & im prepping my lessons for this week. I want to just skip Tuesdays class & go straight to Thursday bc the material is sooooo boring on Tuesday. Thursday will be so much more fun!
We find it what we're having tomorrow, eeeekkkk!! I am so set on a girl that I might be sad for a minute if it's a boy. We are about 90% positive we are moving the kids room to our guest room so I will probably get to paint over Labor Day weekend. It will be easier bc I won't need to move DD out of her room while I paint & my mom will be in town to help me.

ALSO-- we talked a bit about names yesterday with my mom & sister. I shared this in the name thread but with DD, the first girl name we agreed on was Penelope (nn Penny) but we didn't like it with our LN. I've been so sad about it ever since even though I love DDs name too. So we asked my mom & sister what they thought and they both think we're silly for our reasons not to use Penelope and they think Penny "last name" is really cute. So I think if we find out it's a girl, we're 90% set on that name. Also feeling silly for talking about it bc if it's a boy then back to square one haha.

Both are totally our style, classic and "old" without making them sound like old ladies lol. And I'm glad to hear another person who knows my LN say that 😂 I was worried my mom was just saying it bc she knows how much I love the name. I obviously adore C's name but have been so sad since then thinking I would never be able to use this one haha. Fingers crossed it's a girl tomorrow 😂

I got an email before lunch with friends that a colleague of mine passed away in a car accident yesterday. His father also worked with us for years and just retired last year. I keep thinking about him working hard all his life, settling in to enjoy his retirement, and then losing his only child (his wife died years ago). We didn't work closely together so I never knew him overly well, but he was a nice guy about my age and we had a lot of mutual friends. I'm very sorry about all of it. The nice part of living in a small, close knit town is that apparently there are many people taking care of his father right now. I just can't imagine.

I drank nearly 1/4 of a gallon of milk with supper, is that bad? MIL looked at me like I was crazy. I was obsessed with milk for my first pregnancy and this one is the same. The amount I have in my fridge right now is ridiculous but I know I'll drink it and it will save me extra trips to the grocery store.

The wedding was amazing! Great food, venue was gorgeous, they had fire works, my other brothers' daughters were so adorable in their flower girl dresses, all around great time! Best part of all was the waiter that followed the wedding party around, while photos were being taken, wth a constant supply of h'orderves lol.
Although they had the best drinks (bellinis, sangria, martinis, all my favourites) and I couldn't have any. Thankfully 2 of my SILs are also pregnant so we were suffering together. One of them has a scheduled c-section tomorrow which is super exciting.
Now at the cottage for a few days just waiting for the sunset to start. Great end to a chaotic summer!

I've been having a lot of stomach/side pain today. Up in my ribs and at the top of my bump. I'm thinking it's a combo of gas and being sore from yoga yesterday, but it's disconcerting nonetheless.

I am home from a weekend away at my uncles lake house. It usually takes 2 hours to get home, 2 1/2 with a stop for dinner. It took more than 4 hours today because we sat in traffic. One spot was so bad we didn't move a single inch in an hour. I am happy to be home. G is in bed and sleeping, MH is playing D&D online and I am laying on the couch with my cat.
