I had a long drawn out post typed and proboards ate it. Boo.
Basically boils down to me being upset with me being upset with DH for not helping me get ready for baby. Then we talked about names and we are so far apart is not even funny. He doesn't see any urgency.
I'm still upset this morning.

Hope you guys can get on the same page jessijean! Quiet weekend here. I didn't even realize it until this morning when I woke up and was lying in bed and didn't feel the need to get up to get going somewhere. This is a much welcomed weekend!!! Plus it's cold and rainy and dreary so it's just nice to be cozy inside. Sometime this weekend I plan on making pumpkin muffins.

I'm sorry jessijean. My husband has been like that all 3 pregnancies. It just isn't real for them until baby gets here. I still remember getting home from the hospital with DD1. DH's eyes got as big as saucers and he started running around the house tidying like a madman. When I asked him what he was doing, he said "Getting ready! We're not ready!" Lol, what did he think I had been doing the last few months?! Anyway, hang in there. I am solo with the girls all weekend. I was hoping to play outside but it is grey and cold and windy. I am nesting and cleaning while the girls watch movies. T minus 1 hour until naptime.

jessijean I’m sorry. DH and I are in a similar boat with names, in the sense that I want to make a decision, so he tells me to just pick something. But we haven’t come up with anything I love that he actually likes too. I literally read through the entire top 1000 list and nothing makes me excited. And I really want to order a Trendy Timber sign when she opens Nov 4th but I can’t pick a name! Lol. First world problems. We went to breakfast this morning but now we don’t know what to do. Neither DH or I feel like doing anything. 🤷🏼♀️

Have any Canadians checked out Sears for sales now that they are liquidating? I'm going to have a look this weekend and see if I can get any baby things.

Our clearance sears was liquidated a few months ago, and a friend got a bassinet for $40 instead of the reg $300. Let us know how the sales are if you make it in.

I should watch for clothes though, and if I think of anything else! I started to look at mattresses when we decided to get a new one last weekend, then decided without the warranty/ability to return I wasn't comfortable making a purchase like that. But there's probably going to be lots of other good things to grab! I've gotten a few good baby things from there in the past with my other two.

DH took DS to visit his grandma. I'm sure DS is going to come home completely sugared, but at least he should burn most of it off at skating lessons this afternoon. While their gone my plan is to sort through the mountain of clothes in the nursery. I've just been putting everything that he's outgrown into the crib, and it needs to be cleared out for painting.

My mom and sister are coming over later to watch D so H and o can have a date night. And now we have NO clue what to do.... there's not really any good movies out right now. We could just go out for a good dinner but because I have GD I'm pretty strict and the thought of having a cheat somewhat stresses me out.
Anyone have any good date night Ideas???

sparky85 That's an amazing price!!! tiffrobot I haven't bought any clothes yet and since it's the first baby, I don't have any hand me downs. Actually I need quite a few things for baby (I just have no idea what lol). So I'm hoping for the best!

Hi. We are having a lazy day. G isn’t feeling well and MH is at work. We are watching movies and cuddling. jessijean I understand the baby name trouble. MH and I aren’t even close to settling on a name. He is pretty adamant about the name John being at least a middle name and I am not loving it. It’s been a sore spot for us for awhile now.

ajetter I feel the same way! I'm trying to figure out a name when Trendy Timber opens on Nov 4th too. Two weeks ago I thought "plenty of time, we'll have a name by then." Except we don't. We have a middle name, but no first name. Nothing sticks out to me. I guess I don't need a TT sign for a while but I really think it'll make the room feel put together.

Just got done with my massage and DH and I stopped by REI who was having their sidewalk sale for members and we scored a black and grey bob duallie that was used a week and returned for $383! So we are going to return the one we got on Amazon last month!

kyzo yeah DH keeps saying it’s not the end of the world if we don’t get one ordered this time. And I kind of want to kick him in the shins. 😂 I just feel like it’ll be a ways before she opens after that with the holidays and I’m guessing our LO will be here within the first two weeks of January.

Hopefully once he’s 32 weeks+ he can be transferred back to the hospital in walking distance from my house.

It's a quiet weekend for us too. I went shopping to get DS some things as he's transitioning into toddler sizing, and picked up a few things for this LO too. Got DS's Halloween costume (he's going to be a cow), and got a pedicure. I rationalize the pedi because I have an in-grown toenail and it causes issues when I trim. Podiatrist will be dealing with it, but waiting until maternity leave for that.
DH wound up with Lyme's disease, which has been awful. He doesn't do sick well at all, and this has been...ugh. I'm over it, and just want him to feel better and be able to help more around the house. Work + grad classes + pregnant + toddler = dying. Sigh.

Its the opposite of a quiet weekend here. October is always crazy for us. Today we had fall pictures, then went to Legoland, then went to a Halloween party. DD fell asleep on the ride home, H passed out as soon as we got home and I'm about to do the same!

I don't understand what's going on with my body. I've got almost restless leg plus I wanna punch something for no reason. Wish we had a punching bag, I'd just go work out. Come on hormones, get it together.

readinglove, sorry to hear about the Lymes. It can definitely knock you out. I haven't gotten it but it is common where I live. One of my friends had it over the summer and said it was like having the flu...for a month. hope your DH feels better more quickly!

Come on hormones, get it together. The past week or so I’ve been having out of nowhere rage moments. Like I go from everything is wonderful, nothing could be better to OMG I so angry at you _______ (typically H, misbehaving kid). It’s like the night before my period anger or something.
