Since everyone should be rested from our unintended, voluntarily 24 post break, how are you doing? What are you up to today?

Good things from the weekend so far: DS1's soccer game yesterday, I bought a bunch of mums and kale plants to do this set up on my porch stairs that looks fantastic in my mind but I'm not sure if it will translate to real life when I arrangethem later, my mom came over this morning and picked the boys up at 6:30 so H and I could both sleep, the emmys are on tonight and I love good TV so I'm excited!
Not as good things: the fact that DS2 wakes up so early (he'd been up for almost an hour before my mom got here) that we'd rather have an early AM sitter than night time to do something fun, we tried to watch Wonder Woman last night but it's still buy only, you can't rent though smart TV yet and it seemed silly to buy it but we probably should have just done it, my H is getting into making fun drinks at our new basement bar but I can only have a sip.

I had my anatomy scan this morning. The baby wouldn't move in the right positions so I have to go back at some point. I also got reemed out for not drinking enough water. I have to pee every 5 minutes, so I thought I had enough.

Hi. I'm exhausted. I shopped until late last night and then I have been busy all day.
We are relaxing at home now. We are going to dinner with my grandmother later.

I second the straw cup thing. I also have to drink it ice cold. My goal is 96oz a day. I have a big plastic straw cup that is 32oz. I try to get at least three of those in per day. When its in that cup, it goes down pretty easily for me.

I don't really remember exactly what contractions feel like. I remember them being super painful and sort of feeling like period cramps. I just had a huge cramp but I can't tell if it was a contraction or gas pain. All I know is that I could barely move and when I did only sitting upright on my knees helped. I really hope it was just gas. It's too early for contractions.

I really hope it was just gas. It's too early for contractions. If it were a true contraction nothing would have helped. That was the only way I knew the difference between prodromal and active labor. Probably just cramps or RLP or gas or one of the other 10,000 painful and unpleasant things associated with pregnancy, lol! |

Hi!
We went to of my BFF's 2 year old's birthday party BBQ yesterday so that was a nice evening with friends!
Today I've been reorganizing DD's room. Next weekend we are doing the big bedroom switch and we decided not to move her (she was going to go into DS's current room when we move him to the basement, but we decided to make his room the nursery so she and everything in her room doesn't also have to be uprooted) so I thought I'd get as much as I could done. Her current dresser is going to be the baby's so I moved all her clothes over to her "new" (to us) one and I'll reorganize her wall art later this afternoon.
I'm on the preschool board so taking DS to preschool orientation for a little bit this afternoon. He was in preschool and wouldn't technically need to go because he knows his teacher and the room, but since I'm on the board I said I'd make cookies and thought he'd enjoy getting an hour to play there. He starts his class next week!
Happy Sunday!

On our way home from the wedding. DD had a blast as a flower girl. Now after all these road trips she associates peeing with gas stations so every time she sees one she screams "I HAVE TO GO TINKLE!!" Pic for fun :-P  |

Pregnancy is fun. 🙄 |

I think it's just because it was so early in the morning. I normally drink 2-3L a day, but it was 8am so didn't start early enough. |

I just realized my scheduled c section is on the one year anniversary of the day Carrie Fisher died. If I hadn't planned on having a Star Wars nursery before (which I did) I would now.

Hi everyone! Busy weekend here including dealing with a toddler suffering from seasonal allergies.... fun times! We went to the children's museum today and I caught a glimpse of myself in the full-length mirror for the first time in months and damn, I'm sporting quite the bump! I did take a pic to share for HDBD which took priority over helping DH change DS. Oops!
