We are going to decorate for Halloween tonight and I'm so excited! I love Halloween decorations. I just wish it wasn't going to be 90 degrees all weekend so it could really start to feel like fall! Lol.

I attempted to cuddle with my peanut ball last night and ended up with maybe 5 hours of sleep. Please DS be kind to mommy today. It's the first day of fall and it's supposed to be really humid and 88 degrees. I live in Midwest, this is definitely unusual. I'll be hibernating in the AC until evening. Last night I found out my sister wants to bring my niece over to go to the children's museum tomorrow. And while I'm super excited I'm also freaking out because we want to have our spare bed moved to the office so the kids don't keep each other up. I'm going to be busy tonight and tomorrow morning! Poor DH gets to do some heavy lifting because the bed is currently upstairs and our office is on the main level.

Morning!! I'm sitting on my back porch while DD plays in her pool. Have to do our outside play before 10am or else it is a sauna outside haha. I love "fall" in the south 🙄
Anyway it's about 9am and she's been swimming for an hour now! I got caught up on my bible study & have already finished my coffee. We have library story time in two hours so hopefully she will be pretty worn out by nap this afternoon.
Her bed railing came yesterday so she slept in the twin bed last night. HUGE success she loved it & stayed in all night long!!!

I'm so freakin' happy it is Friday. I'm over work! My teammates and clients are all turning into crazy people over this important meetings series and it is driving me crazy. Two more weeks of "busy season" and then it should slow down a lot.
We are headed to the Pittsburgh area this evening after work to visit DH's parents. They are lovely people and we will have a nice time but I don't like staying there. The house is clean but very cluttered and even with a 3 bedroom house they only have one actual bedroom so we sleep on a sofa bed that isn't very comfortable. That room in particular makes me claustrophobic because there is just so much stuff in that room. I honestly don't know where Faith will sleep when we go and visit because we can't even fit a rock n play next to the sofabed in that room because there is so much funiture. The other "bedroom" is MIL's craft room and it is piled high and I don't want her sleeping in there for fear a pile of stuff would come crashing down on her in the middle of the night. The only other room with a door is his parents bedroom... She has made some noise about making some changes but nothing has been done yet.
We went out last night to run errands so we had what we needed for the weekend. I needed new tennis shoes (I get blisters easily and my current tennis shoes give me blisters) and a tank top to wear under my baseball jersey because it won't button over my belly now. That is how I found the Macy's sale, because evidently Macy's is the only place that actually sells maternity clothes in the freakin' store anymore. Old Navy has stopped carrying anything except what people return to the store.

90s have become just a fun summer memory here lol. (Aren't I nice to convert it to F for the majority lol??!! 😉) Anyway, today we'll go participate in our town's Terry Fox Walk and meet up with H there for a bit, then I'm taking my kids to my mom's work to meet up with her and my aunts for a birthday lunch for my mom. So it should be a nice day! And I have to AW, because my son is breaking my heart with his new look, but him and I went and got our hair done yesterday. Sorry I shared this on my other board too, I know there's only one person carry over haha Poof

Hi all! I am back to reliable cell service. My dog is in for surgery today to remove a tumor and subsequently needs her toe amputated so I'm all anxious about that. But it's really nice to be home. DD spent her first night at home in the big girl bed after wanting to sleep in the futon at my ILs and did great. I'm very encouraged. I got my second Stitch Fix box and need some advice though! Thoughts on this stuff? 2 cardis (navy and maroon, the maroon is a brushed and so so so soft , a dress, a long sleeve tunic and a sleeveless shell type top (the latter both grey). I'm thinking to keep it all because the dress i should be able to wear for the holidays.

So I'm having buyer's remorse with choosing the Medela breast pump over the Spectra. I only chose it because it worked perfect for me with DS but the closed system would be super nice.
I'm considering calling the medical supply place I got it to see if I can exchange it since I haven't opened it.
Anyone know how that works when its insurance paid for? Will they deny paying for the exchange?

I kept DS home from daycare today to hang out with me. I was feeling bad because I feel like I have so much less patience with him right now and it's something I want to work on. But I also said "please put your shoes on so we can go" no less than 97 times this morning and it made me slightly regret my decision 😂
Looking forward to the weekend though and hopefully some good quality family time.

My FFFC: I do not like pregnancy, it sucks for me. I love feeling my baby move inside me and thinking about what they will be like etc but I would probably give an arm to have a stork deliver them to me

I am getting over being sick and traveling and all that jazz, I have mostly had a lazy week at home!
My FFFC is that I didn't really consider myself a baby gear minimalist until this BMB 😂 I only use audio monitors, don't use bucket carseats or travel systems, didn't buy anything for co-sleeping, etc. I do, however, have allllll the baby carriers. I have a kid strapped to me more often than not.

I'm thinking to keep it all because the dress i should be able to wear for the holidays. Absolutely love the dress and the top to the right. The top in the middle is just meh for me. Keeping the cardigans would depend solely on price. They look pretty plain/standard so I wouldn't keep them if they're expensive. Loft has some gorgeous cardigans right now that are 40% off I believe so I'd compare prices and looks before committing to these.

I had my anatomy scan yesterday. The tech doesn't officially tell you anything but since she was chatting and joking with me the whole time, I feel like she didn't see anything that struck her as unusual. Also, it's a boy!
FFFC: I'm 90% excited it's a boy. I have some small sads about never being a girl mom since we are almost definitely two and done. The other part is that my MIL eats all. the. crackers for me and she raised two boys. She's already all "just like me!" about it and "ask me anything about having two boys" and it's irritating me. It's a really stupid thing to be annoyed about but like I said, crackers.

maddisonrose, I love Bible studies by Lisa Harper. She's so funny! Can't go wrong with Beth Moore, either.

sunfrogger I'm pretty sure I got that brushed maroon/mauveish colored cardigan in my last Fix. Definitely kept it because it was so dang soft. All your items look cute! I cheated and checked out what is in my Fix that is on the way and realized I forgot to switch over to maternity. Whoops. Hoping there is something in there that works. I'm so flipping tired today. We're going swimming at my parents when DD1 is home from school because it's blazing hot outside, but I think I'm going to bake something with pumpkin to try and pretend it's fall.

Drives me insane, too... so I feel your pain. sunfrogger, hope surgery goes well for your dog! Is the tumor cancer? I hope it's something benign. I'm near the end of my three weeks of hell, working every day including the weekends. Next Saturday will be my first day off since September 10. So 20 straight days. Blehhhh. Sorry I've been MIA! Just trying to stay sane and spend every spare second with my family. Hope everyone is doing well!!

How come toddlers can tell when you need to do something during their nap and therefore fight it with all their being?
I need a nap so bad. But of course she won't nap today. 3.5 hrs later and I'm done trying I guess.
I hope I can stay awake until H comes home.

snowyowl you just described my MIL. I am not nice about it either but I just can't take the oh I knew you would have two boys, and the I know everything there is to know about boys, this is how we did it, you need to do this and that. Nothing puts me in a rage faster than listening to that 🙈

Ugh snowyowl my MIL raised 3 boys (no girls) and I know I'm going to hear so much from her now that this one is a boy. Never mind the fact that my mom raised 3 boys too (and 3 girls). It is hard bc she's always trying to find things we have in common (we could not possibly be more different) and I'm like NO we are not the same!

I also really needed to nap when the boys napped today. 30 minutes in the shower curtain in their bathroom fell making way more noise than a shower curtain should and cue waking up. Finally get them back to sleep and someone starts cutting a tree down at my neighbors. I'm furious. Hopefully we both get to bed early!

I love feeling my baby move inside me and thinking about what they will be like etc but I would probably give an arm to have a stork deliver them to me I get this. Especially after having bleeding and with a loss history. There's so much to worry about!
