dizzycooks yaaa. That’s why I’m really scared. G was a wonderful baby - so much so that my dad told me I’d be in for a big surprise when I had a “real” baby.

H is at work, so G and I are chilling while my mind slowly goes crazy with thoughts and anxiety. Why do I let this eat away at me so much? I know it’s for the best. I actually got some sleep with the help of a meditation app, so I’m feeling better than yesterday...
I really know how to bring the fun to a conversation don’t I?

Kids are upstairs and I'm watching It Takes Two while writing my grocery list. I should go find something to eat, I'm kind of hungry.

We have friends coming over for our monthly game night tonight. I am so ready to have some adult interaction! Fun! What are your fav games? Battlestar Galactica, Twilight Imperium (although we don't get to play it often...it's an 8+hour game), Abyss, Asara, Pandemic, and Eldritch Horror. My husband is really big into board games, so we have a lot of them.

We are working on DD's new room today. We just picked up paint samples and will finish moving things out of that room and into the office today. Her furniture came this week so it's pushing me to get it done.

cp3 How fun! What color are you looking at painting her room? We recently redid DD's room and she wanted blue. It reminds me of the background of the old super mario bros game.

She wants yellow but the samples we got are too bright for what I want. I looked up a few softer colors online so we are going to go get more samples later today.

I can’t remember who talked about waking themselves up from dreams but THANK YOU. I was having a nightmare (delicious seafood dinner cruise turned horrifying, demon filled haunted house) and I ran up to this scary guy and said “hi, is there a bathroom or somewhere I could go to calm down for a minute?” It worked! I just woke up!

cornpop auri whatsit I hope you have little unicorns in there! My first was 110% unicorn (aka trick baby). She was sleeping through the night at 3 months old, and was so easygoing I went back to work a few weeks early because I was bored. Cue baby #2 who didn’t STTN until 10 months and has a real firecracker attitude. She got me back for my easy baby and then some.

We took DD to a farm today to get pumpkins. I love this farm...it's almost an hour away from us, but it reminds me of a farm I used t go to as a kid. They do a hayride out to the pumpkin field, have a corn maze, pony rides, petting zoo, and a huge playground. DD had a lot of fun.

I'm so tired. What a busy weekend this has been! I feel like I need one more day off before Monday gets here. Also, my back and hips hurt. This is going to be a long pregnancy if I have back/hip pain already at 16 weeks. Worth it? Yes. Definitely makes it hard to keep up with everything though, especially my younger kids.
Bonus from this weekend though - my girls and I baked homemade chocolate chip cookies. Yum! I've been enjoying way too many of them!

I had a big party this weekend, and someone brought a chicken pot pie. It was 2/3 gone when I got to it, and I packed it up for the fridge.
I just reheated it and...
...IT IS THE MOST DELICIOUS FOOD I'VE EVER CONSUMED.
I might be a little dramatic, here, but... it is so good.

ETA also, also lol This baby definitely doesn’t like to move as much as G, and I kinda miss it. H didn’t feel G move until 23 weeks so who knows (I’m almost 21 now).

TIL about microbladeing and I want my eyebrows fixed NOW! I want microblading so bad!! Someone on my BMB got it done and it looked great. I found out you can’t wear make up for 10 days afterward though which would not work for me.

If you've been sick for a week, and haven't had a voice since Thursday, would you call your OB? Or well...have your H call because...no voice.

Insomnia induced Haiku:
Pulsing blood in ears; Drum beats, baby's dancing party Inside my belly.
I just realized baby's is two syllables but I don't feel like changing it.
AND I just realized there's mold in the cream cheese container I'm eating out of. 😨

My first is/was...the opposite of a unicorn. It kind of blew my mind when I saw how chill and easy my friends' babies were at similar ages. I thought I was just a less graceful parent. The reassuring news: you still love your little one, you're still a wonderful mother, and you figure out a rhythm that works for you. And you learn to be super flexible. And then you have lots of tips and tricks that you get to share when your friends have high maintenance kiddos down the road. I can't bring myself to get my hopes up that this baby will be easier, but it would certainly be a nice surprise. I hope we all have easy babies come March/April! katietopaz I could have written this exactly! Right down to the initial thought that it was just my parenting skills or inability to deal. I truly had a horrible baby. LOL. I could never put him down, he screamed constantly, and woke on the hour every hour until he was over a year old. The good news is it is temporary! From 14 months on, my son has been the most cheerful, happy agreeable little guy and at 5, he shows no signs of stopping. We never had terrible twos or threes and he pretty much potty trained himself. So that's my theory is everyone has their challenge somewhere along the way, and you just tough it out and eventually it passes. (I really hope I get an easy one this time though, lol. I'm due!)

I’d love to try microblading but I can’t find any blondes I like it on. They all look too dark or too yellow :/
DD tripped over my shoes this morning and smashed her face into the metal edge of our bed. She’s got a horrible egg right below her eyebrows/above he bridge of her nose. I did not handle it well at all. I have a HUGE presentation at work so she’s with my mom this morning. If you could die of mom guilt, you’d be down one BMB member.

Leaf 🌱 poor DD. My middle kid used to run full force and crash into walls... we've had so many forehead goose eggs.. I hope she recovers quickly! I'm a bit annoyed with my OB office. My regular appt is supposed to be this Friday. I guess when they called me to move it up to go over my Panorama, they CANCELED this appointment and it took them over a week to call me to have it rescheduled and I was in the air, so I just returned their call this morning. They also said that they've been playing phone tag with the MFM. It took them over a week to tell me that too? UGH. They are a really good office, but I kind of feel like this situation was handled in not a great way. I took this Friday off because I have to get some fillings done, so I figured I could do both appointments on the same day. I scheduled my TSA pre-check appointment for this Friday too. Hopefully they can get me in still this week, otherwise, who knows. FWP.

yianna, I agree, I don't think the whole thing was handled well. You were up in the air for an unreasonable amount of time, and it only was resolved once you were referred to MFM. I'm sorry you're going through that. AFM, I'm having a so-so day. Its been awhile since my energy dipped like this, but I am just exhausted today despite sleeping well. My body just is achy and my belly has definitely popped and I feel kind of uncomfortable. I could go for a sick day! I'm slightly jealous of sweetc129! (although I do hope you feel better soon) That said, I received an Edible Arrangement delivery from a client this morning. Chocolate covered strawberries! YUM.

AND I just realized there's mold in the cream cheese container I'm eating out of. 😨 I had my first bout of pregnancy induced insomnia last night. It sucked and I’m definitely feeling it today. Baby wasn’t moving all that much, but I just did not feel tired which is so foreign to me because I feel like I basically live in a constant state of sleepiness. Do not know what I’m going to do with a newborn when I actually have a reason to be tired.
