My mom texted me a picture of this BEAUTIFUL rug that I now must have for the nursery, but can't justify spending $1,000 on a rug that may only be used for a few years... I want the 8 ft round and the cheapest I've been able to find it is for about is for $1050 at Bed Bath and Beyond, minus a 20% of coupon. If I do the 5x8 rectangle it goes down to about $600... Why do I have to fall in love with expensive things?!?!

aprilz81 that's gorgeous! But all I can think of is white rug + eventual toddlers. 😂 Hello! It's been a few days. Yesterday was DS's second birthday! We had 2 year pictures on Saturday and he was a typical 2 year old. I'm surprised we got some good ones! Yesterday we went to Disney and he had a great time. We go a lot but we really tried to focus this trip on him. He also had his 2 year well visit this morning so it's been nonstop for him! My anatomy scan is Thursday and 3 people have asked me what I'm having today!

I am just trying to catch up on work and laundry after our trips! Laundry is mostly done, work not so much...

I'm no help because I also tend to fall in love with expensive things 😩 Mom and I joke that if you give us 3-4 similar options we will naturally gravitate to the more expensive item. I'm looking for options but I am already thinking of ways to justify the purchase to DH. I doubt he would really care, but man it would be a splurge...

Hi! I've been crazy busy at work. I can't believe I'm 15w tomorrow, this pregnancy is flying by!
I'm exhausted from running around for a client site visit... Time for a nap!

They told me this little man is 14oz already and he was right on track. I was kind of surprised by his size but I shouldn't be.

Yay for good scans!!
Pregnancy is so strange, especially dreams. In my dreams for the past week or so I've been making passes at other men, like hard core teasing. Usually it's men I know but have not and would never pursue. I guess it's fun to dream about?

Tomorrow is my follow up AS so of course the anxiety has kicked in. Hopefully everything is fine and we can get a decent profile pic.

My grandma made me a bunch of crabapple jelly so I took the kids to the farm for lunch to meet up with her and visit my dad and let the kiddos run around there for a bit. This morning I ordered this for maternity/family pics. The photog I'm using wants to run some mini sessions either in September or October so I thought I'd make sure I was organized for whenever she announces it and wants to book me in, it's all dependent on the weather. I want some good family pics for Christmas cards, I've never done pro maternity pics before and I REALLY wanted to do it this time with the two big siblings too knowing it's probably our last time! So I went through their fall hand me downs and I think I have a nice outfit put together for DS, I'm undecided on DD and may buy her something too but we'll see.

tiffrobot, we always get photos done in Nov/Dec for our Christmas card and they always turn out amazing. I think that dress will photograph really well. We aren't getting them done this year since I'll probably be as big as a house. I guess that means we aren't sending Christmas cards either. Hopefully an email to the grandparents and great grandparents will suffice.

We just had the anatomy scan and.... it's a healthy GIRL!!!! I am so excited. I honestly didn't care whether it was a boy or a girl, I'm just so relieved she's healthy! I'm so happy N is going to have a little sister 💕

tiffrobot I think you had mentioned SPD - I have been on the hunt for a new support belt because I don't think mine from last time around really helped much. I just ordered this one: symphysismaternitybelt.com/I will let you know what I think. The testimonials sound worth it!

Congrats to you too amesie!! Thanks stephne! I hope it helps you! I don't know where I'm at. There's always a constant dull pain feeling there but since I've been more aware and trying not to overdo it it's been ok to manage. Some nights my one butt bone hurts so bad I have to lay down with my feet up. My dr checked it out a little just to make sure I didn't have a hernia, but there didn't appear to be so she figured that ya, it's probably something I'll just feel the whole time. See what happens when baby gets bigger I guess 😬

Pretty much feeling like an awful mom. I yelled at DD1 at lot tonight because she doesn't listen anymore. I broke down in tears while putting her to bed. My sweet girl just kept saying "sad?" Over and over and hugging me. I'm not sure what I ever did to deserve her but I'm sure as well going to try a lot harder. I just seem to have no patience and am super irritable. Any other STMs feel this way or is it just me?
😭😭😭😭😭

Hi ladies! The chaos of back to school is in full swing. I'm in complete denial about grad classes starting again too.
Yay for all of the great AS updates! Although it's making me want to find out the sex even more. The struggle is real up in here!

Any other STMs feel this way or is it just me? 😭😭😭😭😭 No one is perfect, and kids are absolute wizards at pushing you to the brink of sanity, then doing something incredibly sweet to remind you how lovable they are (and also make you feel soooo guilty for losing your cool). It happens!! When I can, I try to turn it into a teachable moment for DS ("Mommy is sorry. I shouldn't have yelled at you because that isn't nice. Can you please help me do x, y or z?") to let him know if my behavior isn't appropriate. But please cut yourself some slack - sounds like your DD knows you love her and wants you to be happy.
