I almost thought it was Monday! What is everyone up to today?
DD1 has her first day of preschool today and I have another job interview. It is getting nearly impossible to disguise my bump as awkward belly fat haha.

If google tells you that a certain medication is safe to take, do you still call your dr?
I have a cold and sudafed does nothing for me, but afrin nasal spray clears me right up. Google tells me it's fine from multiple websites, but I don't know if I should get the final say from my dr. I just hate bothering them with stupid questions if I don't have to.

No, but I'm pretty laid back. Just be careful with Afrin and don't use it more than 3 days (pregnant or not). I used to have a really bad addiction to that stuff. Flonase has been helping me some this pregnancy since I won't go down the Afrin path.

I have moved down to the basement at work while the upstairs of our office is being remodeled. I now share a conference table with 4 other people, 3 are my bosses and the 4th eats major crackers for me. Construction is supposed to last 2 months...FML! My time on HIH may be limited because we are seriously on top of each other.
In good news I have my ultrasound tomorrow, I had a dream last night that it was a girl, I have been thinking boy all along. Fingers crossed for a girl!

Last night was DS's first night in his toddler bed. He didn't try to get out during the night (knock on wood), but he did wake up at 6:20, which is about an hour early for him. I call it a semi-win. Little nervous for nap today though. Yesterday he woke up after only a hour of napping and climbed out of his crib. He let me put him back in and he slept for another hour. Hoping if he gets out today, he'll let me put him back down.

Count me in for the 1st day of pre school. The 3year old was very excited this morning. My 2 year old starts tomorrow and I'm nervous for him. He actually doesn't turn 2 until the 12th so we'll see how it goes.

We had DH's 40th birthday party on Saturday and it wore me out. I was on my feet for 2 solid days (not used to that at all) and even though I was exhausted I couldn't sleep because my feet and calves were throbbing. I felt like I was going to get a charlie horse at any second. Sunday I spent lying on the couch... Here are a few pictures. I made the photo booth backdrop, props (several conversation bubbles and character masks) and the birthday banners, the cake was made by the same baker who did our wedding cake. It was delicious!!!!

Just a normal Tuesday here, but it's first day of K-12 here and I'm all emotional realizing this is my last year just observing this as a mom (being that H is a VP haha), as DS will start kindergarten next year 😭

I get to do the 3 hour glucose today. They just drew my fasting BS so I am committed here for the next 3-4 hours. Not thrilled. I am going to starve to death!!

Hi. Today was supposed to be G's first day at the EI center but my service coordinator got the date wrong. It's actually tomorrow. She told me while I was on my way to the school. Thanks. 🙄I had my kid all prepped and excited only to not end up going. I even had to wake her up early. At least we got a practice run in and she will be ready for tomorrow. I took her to the play gym instead. She had a ball. FFTC: I bribed her with sour gummy bears to get her to leave the gym without tears. Apparently sour candy is my kids currency.

Morning, Just got back from another endo appointment. Have to up my insulin, but good news is that it's all hormone related and my eating is perfect so I'm allowed to go off plan for my birthday on Friday! I also gained my first two pounds this pregnancy, slightly sad because it wasn't from eating anything good 👎🏻
DS is back in daycare this morning so I think I'm going to take a nap pretty soon and then prep dinner.
Also- is anyone else having some serious nesting urges??? I think I'm giving H some serious stress as I am now fully redecorating the entire house. This weekend I re did our master bedroom, finished DS's toddler room, got a new couch for the play room and a new couch for our adult living room. Working on a new dining room table and chairs today and looking into some new area rugs to match the new couches. After that I'm moving onto doing the nursery!

We've been in our house 3 years now and we are still working on our "to-do list". Our master bathroom renovation starts on Thursday (planned before we got pregnant) and the nursery is about 50% done. I'm starting to feel the urge to clean, organize and purge but kinda waiting until the remodel is finished, there is only so much chaos I can handle at one time.
I would love to get some overhead storage in our garage put up so we can get our outside Christmas & fall decorations out of the basement. And I would love to have DH build some simple shelves in the unfinished portion of the basement to get things a little organized. Some purging is much needed down there. Last year we organized it pretty good, but a lot of stuff that I wanted to donate was put in a pile for DH to sell on Ebay... It is all still sitting there... *rolling eyes*.
Otherwise our clutter is under control because I go through closets at least once a year to tidy up and get rid of things I don't want/need anymore.

I think a bunch of us have said we are nesting pretty hard. Is it a winter baby thing? With G it didn't happen until the end and she was born in spring. I am wondering if the approach of the fall we are in sort of clean up/ nesting mode.

So the painters are finally back and working on painting our living room and nursery today! This is very exciting, since they had finished some other rooms a few weeks ago and then just....never came back. And didn't return my calls or texts. It was so strange. But here they are, so yay!
Only thing is the nursery is right next to DD's room, who is currently taking a nap. Every time I hear them shout or drop something I hold my breath. Please don't wake her up!

Hmm, maybe this is why I bought 2 rugs last night. I didn't even think of that.

I feel like I'm nesting so much that I was TTC nesting lol. I went through a bunch of our closets and organized some random stuff when we were still in that mode. Now I've done a few things lately and just tried to get organized for the next few months in general. It's definitely hitting me harder this time!

I wish I could get into nesting mode. I have no motivation right now, but then again, I didn't nest at all with DS. I had to force myself to organize his room and pack a hospital bag.
