Thanks guys! I'm leaning toward #3 for the wedding since it's the most fancy of the three, and #2 for the night before!

We are still swimming in boxes at our new house. It's like no matter how much I do in a day I don't even see a dent.
Anyway, that has been our focus all weekend. Not that you can tell by looking at it lol.
One of these days I'll get it together enough to post pics!

I like #3 xolastunicornxo ! We're here for you cagoldi, you're handling this surprise much better than I ever could. You guys are already making plans and talking logistics. I'd be confused and shuffling around my house in my bathrobe.

Maybe you need to take a little time to shuffle around in your bathrobe cagoldi? It's not like the baby is coming tomorrow. Take a week or so to settle into the idea without the logistics stress. Easier said than done I'm sure but maybe you need it.

I'm sorry you're feeling overwhelmed about the baby cagoldi. It's understandable with what you think you have to do to prepare. I hope things come together smoothly so you can feel better about it. Do you have the option of moving into a bigger place? Or just a place with a better layout for your family? We really should move. We have a pretty significant amount of equity in our house but then we'd still have a bigger mortgage than we do now. I know I'm getting ahead of myself but I'm already upset that now what I was saving for college will need to be split three ways. We'll only have them all in daycare together for about a month before Dude goes to kindergarten, so that's good. I never planned on paying for Daycare for three kids over a period of almost 10 years. Goodness. I need to learn to take things one day at a time but I am notoriously bad at that.

I'm sorry everyone. I don't have time at the mo to keep up and read the entire thread. I just wanted to say hello and let you all know I'm still alive and missing N13.
My ILs (from So FL) arrived on Sat afternoon, along w FIVE pets (!!!!). So they're riding out Irma, here w us. As you know, I also just started my new job, so I'm trying to get adjusted to that and work that into my routine. It's crazy times at the yummee house. . .

cagoldi - DH and I were having all those discussions and I hadn't even gotten a BFP, AF was just late. Unfortunately our personalities don't always allow for us to just relax a bit. Not helpful, just trying to say I understand where your head is at.

We are just setting up our master bedroom today. And yes, we still have boxes everywhere! I feel ya!

I'm pooped, N just would stand up in her PNP and stare at me last night. Blerg. I did a spin class today and then went to an open house and my sisters bf was the realtor there, so that was super fun. We have been debating contacting her, but seeing her was confirmation that I want her to be our agent.
Tomorrow is picture day for N and I have no outfits that are fall like picture worthy. I went to a consignment shop and found a baby boden cardigan with a deer on it for $10. Do they not realize these are $50 retail?! I need to go there more often.

Cher will your current housekeeper be able to help at this house? Well this house is in a new town and my cleaning lady takes public transportation so I don't think it will be worth it for her. We may be breaking up. 😬😓

I had a bit of a breakdown from being overwhelmed tonight. I'm now staring at my maternity leave papers that need to be in this week. I know I need to be home for the maximum time allowed and I know we can totally swing it, but I'm so anxious about it.

Cher Do you have a good home inspector? Hopefully they aren't leaving because there is something wrong with the house. I think it's a $$ thing but you're right I need a good inspector for this. How do I go about finding one?

Morning! Today is just grocery shopping and laundry. And finally closing our pool . not much exciting. Cher, I second or third wanting to see house pics! Well. This just adds to the weirdness. He's selling the house himself so there's really not an adequate listing online lol.

I get it cagoldi. You're adjusting to a huge change. Babies take a long time to be fully baked so you'll have time to figure out the big things. Plus you make awesome kids. Big hugs.

We had a retirement ceremony today and the guest of honor got a letter signed by the POTUS...so...Trump. Made me think I really need to time my retirement during a decent administration.

I scheduled some pictures for S on Tuesday while we will be in STL. So of course, tonight she climbed on our tall kitchen chairs, then leaned over the back, taking herself and the chair over backwards into the kitchen counter and cabinets. Fat lip, bloody gums, and bruised and knot on forehead.
