Starting this now. Good Morning! I slept terribly haha I was waiting all night for DD to show up in my room 😂😂 but first night in her "bed" (aka mattress on the floor) was a huge success!! Didn't hear from her at all MOTN. She did wake up this morning& start playing with her toys. When I came down the hallway she dropped them & ran back to her bed haha so at least she knew she wasn't supposed to be out yet. I'm bringing in her "ok to wake" clock for nap today so we will see how that goes! She loves everything about big girl bed!
We FaceTimed w DH this morning since it's our 4yr anniversary. Glad we got to chat before he took off for a long flight today. Still no clue when he will be home haha.

Add me to the list of not sleeping last night. DS kept coughing his head off and it woke me up every time. Of course he slept right through it, but that's better than him waking up!

Happy anniversary dragonflyinn! I also slept like crap last night, this time it was due to a nightmare that DH was arrested for selling drugs. WTF?!? Pregnancy dreams are super weird.

OB nurse just called with ultrasound results. They were able to see everything with the heart and all looks normal. He's in the 95th percentile for weight. I know those readings can be way off but damn, big boy!

Happy anniversary dragonflyinn and Happy Friday to everyone! I am having one of those days where I am feeling blah. At my appointment on Monday my midwife told me I hadn't gained any weight yet this pregnancy, so I checked my weight this morning. I must have gained 5-6 pounds this week, or her scale was off, but either way it was a number I wasn't happy with! I know pregnancy is a time where you are supposed to gain weight and I am trying to not let it get to me, but it's got me down this morning. I just keep repeating to myself all that matters is a healthy baby and it's just a number on a scale!

pinkcat I understand the weight struggle. Unfortunately I gain weight VERY easily. 5-6lbs this late in the game is not very much. I have gained at least 25 already and I am not pleased. I hope you feel better soon.

Happy Anniversary dragonflyinn,! pinkcat, I feel you on the mental struggle of weight gain in pregnancy, it's no fun. I haven't gained any weight this pregnancy but only because I never lost all of the weight after I had DS. I know it's hard to come to terms with, but your body is doing so much more than just hoarding fat cells. It's creating and growing a baby which is pretty amazing and totally temporary. 5-6 pounds at this stage is very minimal and controlled so try not to be too hard on yourself!

Try not to stress about it pinkcat! If you're having healthy habits & staying sort of active, that's all you can do! I gained 45 lbs w DD and already gained 20 so far with this one (for reference not pregnant I'm 5'5", 140lbs & extremely active). So sometimes there's just not much you can do about it-- baby needs what it needs to grow!

I actually looked this up earlier in the week because I was curious (and because I gained 2 pounds this week alone). During the first 20 weeks of pregnancy the average weight gain is 8-10 pounds (more if you started out underweight, less if you started out overweight). They also said that a few pounds less or more is also very normal and don't worry unless your doctor says something or you are WAY, WAY off the curve.
For me a slow gradual gain isn't shocking to, I'll go a week or so fluctuating up and down 1/2 a pound or so, but then one day I'll get on the scale and be up 3 pounds or 2 pounds and that is when my eyebrows raise like "what the heck is that all about?".

Also remember everyone is different! I gained about 5 lbs until the last three weeks and feels like I gained like 15 lbs between 18w & now!

Y'all tell me...am I crazy if I try to rearrange tons of furniture by myself this weekend?? H is gone for another week & i neeeeed to get DD sleeping in her big bed ASAP (she's been on the floor on a mattress & it is NOT working). So I could move a dresser & a twin bed across the hall to the other bedroom that will be hers AND paint the whole room by myself. The painting thing doesn't worry me but I think H would be upset about the furniture piece...ughhhh

Painting shouldn't be a big deal (make sure you have good ventilation) but I wouldn't be moving the furniture if I were you.

G has a runny nose and is only getting worse as the day goes on so I am thinking we are staying home and watching movies tomorrow. If she is feeling better on Sunday we are going out for breakfast, then to BRU and then to dinner with my grandmother.

The bed is already in the right room, I just need to move it to the other side of the room. The dresser is the lightest thing on earth but a little awkward which is my worry :/ I can't move her in there without doing the whole swap bc all my sewing things are in her new room right now so I'd need to totally move it all for her to move in. Ughhhh stupid H being out of town ruins everything lol

Tomorrow DH surprised me with a haircut and color (I was going to wait another month) so he's taking DD to gymnastics in the morning. After lunch we're going to the pride festival downtown then to my company picnic. Sunday DD is going to the drop in daycare (they are only open random sundays) and DH and I are going to work on the nursery. Oh and I need to pack at some point for our flight Tuesday morning.

dragonflyinn I would not be moving any furniture. I'm also pretty conservative about that type of thing but I think it's too risky. My mom swears her water broke with me at 36 weeks because she lifted a heavy box. You should put your feet up and eat those cheesecakes you posted yesterday. I have thought about those more than once...

Ok so H said I could paint & do everything except move the dresser. He said even if it doesn't fit in her closet (which is my fear & reason I wanted to wait to paint OR try to fit it in there first), we will just get a new dresser & still move the kids into that room so I can go ahead & paint it!! As soon as DD wakes up we're heading to Lowes so I can have supplies ready to start tomorrow!!

If I don't move the dresser, all the rest of the bedroom furniture is really light & easy to move on my own. I'm just dying to paint! Haha

Haha I've been helping carry out the trash from our bathroom demo, but I save the heavy or awkward things for DH. I just do what I can (in between gasping for hair because I can't breathe after several trips up and down stairs these days). Do what you can comfortably do on your own, but at this point in our pregnancies it is 100% okay not to be superwoman.
