Hi! I am doing ok this morning. I am tired but like I have said before, I think that's just me now. Lol. My sister and bil are coming up from FL this afternoon. My bils aunt passed away so they are coming up for her funeral. It's a sad reason to visit but I am happy they are coming up. I haven't seen them in more than2 years.

After not falling asleep until 1 ish, I woke up sobbing at 5:30 am. Pregnancy hormones are no joke. So now I'm out of bed at 6:15 am emailing an old friend apologizing for something that does probably not need to be apologized for but... apparently my mind thinks I need to. Mommy may need a nap later.

Hi! It looks like it should be really nice out this afternoon and I'm currently feeling significantly better so we should probably spend some time outside today finally yay! Meanwhile, I just keep chipping away at our toy storage situation, taking more stuff to the basement and trying to clear out our main living room quite a bit so we can take some ownership of that back, baha. I was on such a roll with rooms last weeks everything halted pretty fast when I got sick but slowly but surely my plans will get there! I did a lot more yesterday than I realized. I just make sure every time I need to go downstairs I take a handful of toys with me, haha.

My sisters plane is supposed to land in little more than an hour. Then she has to pick up her rental car and head here. I am so excited. Can you tell?!! lol I am sorry if I am bugging you guys with updates. It's just been too long since I have seen her and my bil. He has known my family longer than I have. Literally. He lived across the street from my family before I was born. He has known me since the day I came home from the hospital.

Hi everyone and Happy Thursday! Is it normal for your bump to be "squishy" still? I feel like I have a pretty defined bump when I am standing, but when I sit it just feels blumpy and more like I gained weight than a bump. Have fun seeing your sister marygracerich!

And yes I think it's fine for your bump to be squishy. You have to remember that A) Baby is really not that big yet B)They is all kinds of fluid and such in there. Fluid is squishy to protect baby. If it was hard all the time baby wouldn't be able to move and such. At least that's my take on it but I'm not a dr.

Happy Thursday!
I've got a bachelorette party this weekend that I'm hoping goes well. Work has been sort of slow this week which is great.

Totally normal. I noticed a bump change in week 21 but it's still not as firm as it will be in a couple more weeks.

Ok so I think for now we have settled on a name! Sam.uel Geo.rge "last name." DH is PUMPED bc he was asking me about George but we have a last name that with the name George means we'd literally be naming our kid after a famous person lol. Like fn & LN. So I said no to that but I'd compromise and let him have the MN so he could joke about it lol. He was like "omg are you serious?" He's so excited haha. And since Sam was my #1 name I'm fine with letting him have his fun for the middle name haha.

I have been so gung ho and productive the last few days and now all I want to do is just sit on the couch and watch Netflix and sleep.
One thing I was thinking about last night - who here has had an unmedicated birth and do you have any tips? I am team epidural all the way but barely had time for one with DD2 so am anticipating sort of unwillingly going med free this time, lol.

Ok 2 funny 4 year old stories. One inspired by the belly feeling talk. A couple weeks ago DS came up to me and accidentally bumped into my belly. His reaction was "woah! Mom! Your belly is hard now it's not squishy anymore!" 😂 Two, this just happened, and I must share.

I am team epidural all the way but barely had time for one with DD2 so am anticipating sort of unwillingly going med free this time, lol. I had two "accidental" med free births (as in, my kids were too fast for the epidural I wanted) so I'm anticipating the same again. I was not prepared for DS. He was also premature so I was not mentally or physically ready to think about that. His birth was..hard. DD, who was full term and despite being 3.5 pounds bigger, was a much smoother labour and recovery and I had a better breathing plan and less panicking in general. I actually recently found the breathing sheets I looked at ahead of time with her, I was going to go over them again myself. I'll go find them after lunch. I think it was one of those things that probably feels silly but when in pain you're just doing your best to stay grounded and remember what's happening and how to do it and this did kind of help.

It was an amazing show. I saw them too. I swear Donnie Wahlberg gets better with age. Or it's because I'm getting old too. My opinion on Nick changed after that concert though. He appeared to be trying too hard to be all sexual. Still an amazing concert!

I have seen NKOTB a ridiculous amount of times in the past 7 years and I still love to go. I went twice in one week this year. 🤷🏻♀️ My goal is the NKOTB cruise next year. I was going to go this year but Zika. 😞

marygracerich did you watch the reality show about their cruise? I love how fan focused they seemed. They truly appreciate the support. I'd love to see them again but I live in the middle of nowhere in the Midwest so my opportunities are slim and at least a 3 hour drive.

I'd love to see them again but I live in the middle of nowhere in the Midwest so my opportunities are slim and at least a 3 hour drive. I watched the first two or three episodes and got bored of it. They are usually pretty good with fan interactions. My sil met Donnie at whalburgers in Coney Island when it first opened and he was really cool about taking pics with my nephew. She and I had previously met him at like 3am in Atlantic City after the nkotbsb show. Our phones and camera had no battery life and we had no pen and paper but I know it happened. Lol He came out to meet fans the last time I saw them. This is the best pic I could get. When they announced the most recent tour it was on the today show. I went to wait there even though it was pouring outside. Donnie was the only one that came outside and he made sure to take pics with every fan that stayed out in the rain. I don't have the pic on my phone anymore. It's on my IG.

I'm so glad tomorrow is Friday and next week should be the end of "busy season" at work. I'm over everything, the clients, my coworkers, the hotels, everything. Our rug for the nursery arrived today and it is perfect (although I still kinda wish I had splurged on the fish rug). My mom will be coming up in the next month or so to help us hang the wallpaper and then it is just the finishing touches left! I'm really happy with the way it is turning out.

This is too good not to share... So as we were getting in bed tonight I went to tell DH that I think I might be getting a UTI. What I ended up saying was "well I think I'm on my way to getting an STD" hahahaha
