We are getting ready to go to “the baby show” and the boys are so excited. They started arguing over who will hold the baby first. So cute.

I put the twins in matching sleepers just to mess with DH today. They look so very different (to me at least), so I get a kick out of his confusion. Are they identical? I'm sure to anyone else they look identifcal anyways at this point. Lol We're not sure yet- they're di-di twins which means they had separate sacs and separate placentas. If the egg split early enough on, they could be identical. It's a small percentage. I don't think they are identical because so many of their features are different, but a DNA test will tell us.

roloma I’ve been pretty consistent with weight gain and distribution with the other 3, this one is a bit more across? But the majority of my good stuff is for cooler weather since DS1 was a Feb baby and DS2 was March. I found a maternity tank, 3/4 length non mat sweater with a looser cut, and leggings. Basically I think it doesn’t look terrible.

It is supposed to be cooler here the next couple of days and I have nothing warm to wear. I don't even have any long sleeve maternity shirts. I am wondering if a regular sweatshirt will fit. Probably not. I am guessing I will just need to wear a non zippable jacket and hope for the best lol.

Are you going to have the DNA test? Until I delivered and they were 2 girls, we were told fraternal because di/di - and then they told me could be identical. I see a difference in appearance (especially because E has been slower in gaining weight), but have to admit I am curious!

I had to bite the bullet and take some Imodium today. I try not to do that cuz I figure there's a reason my stomach is clearing out, but I don't have time for it today. DD had a parade at her PreK this morning, we are going to a luncheon and book fair with my other DD at her K school at lunchtime, running some errands, picking DD up from K after school, then we have trick or treating at a local nursing home tonight. I cant wait for the weekend lol. I plan on not leaving the house Saturday and relaxing all day

I'd like to know just for the sake of knowing!

XP from my other bmb I had the most trouble finding something to wear today. It's 50 degrees out which I very much appreciate. However, I have no fall/winter maternity clothes because south GA. I luckily found a pair of leggings that I accidentally bought in a size up last year and I'm short so a long sleeve shirt worked to go over those. My boots aren't zipped all the way. Basically I look HOT guys. So glad I only have one more week of work to try and look presentable. Then the young lady where Tucker goes to doggy daycare said I looked so cute. Bless her! I'm rambley this morning, sorry about it. I was the opposite. I had so many fall/winter hand me downs that I barely had anything for my FL summer. So now that we have a cool front I am enjoying busting out some of the stuff I have.

We are going to ds3's most favorite place in the entire world to go trick or treating tonight. Wegmans! Seriously he's obsessed with the place and cries when we drive past it 🤣 He's so excited he keeps talking about it lol
The older boys are going to get some shopping done for me while he TOTs.

So now that we have a cool front I am enjoying busting out some of the stuff I have. I keep going to the pile of handmedown mat clothes and finding more fall-ish stuff. It's getting less and less stylish, but more weather appropriate! Also, wearing a LOT of cardigans over short sleeve shirts and tanks. Very interesting about the twins bethers and paperbagliz. My coworker had the two in one sac kind, heh, so they are identical. At first you could tell them apart a bit because of size and jaundice, but it was still hard to remember which one was the more jaundiced one! Have a fun day icedcoffee! Hope the immodium works for you. My 'issue' seems to be clearing up, so that's good. Do not want labour and extreme butt pain at the same time I was wondering if it was because the baby has rotated, I am not having to pee ALLLLLL of the time anymore, so maybe the pressure is just in a different spot. My dinner last night with coworkers was fabulous. I actually managed to not totally over-eat so only felt regular full and tired, so that was great. I have my work annual review today, so at least I get my raise before I go off for a year, haha. It's actually good timing because I've been able to accomplish a bunch of random things in the past month or two on account of training people on my position and having some free time, so it'll likely be one of my best reviews. Everyone in the office is sick though, so I'm just trying to stay away from people and wash my hands like crazy.

It's fucking bananas here today. Holy potatoes.
The home ec teacher just gave me two cupcakes and they're still warm!
And I get to leave early for my final growth scan. So it's ok I think. But I will definitely be tired after today. My goodness.

Hi, ladies! I need to do some things today but I am so unmotivated. Ugh.
Maybe I will go to the storage unit. I cannot find the box with the Boon bottle drying rack, but I need to find it to make things easier when I sterilize pump parts and bottles.

DS2 is eating every 45 minutes still. My nips BUT DH is working from home tomorrow so we made a plan to run out to Target to pick up Halloween candy & a birthday gift for a party we have next week. Getting out of the house will definitely help me feel more human and less cow. I booked an in-home lifestyle newborn session! I'm excited to get some photos of the boys together (hopefully) and a couple good pictures of DS2. We opted not to do the hospital photographer this time because I loved the in-home photos so much more. Alright I think I am going to attempt a shower while DS2 is sleeping. Wish me luck. PS. Aren't you all excited for newborns!? LMAO. The snuggles are worth it, but man it's a lot of work.

Baby looked awesome and passed the BPP in record time. The boys loved it and were so good we didn’t run out of bribery food! I opted out of the check.
Then we went to Target, got our shots and picked up a few toy trains for the boys. It is stupid windy here today (25mph NNW) and I had a hard time opening the car door and closing it again. Gives a whole other meaning to airing out the house though. 🤣

My dog is an ass. While we were gone he decided to eat the cherry vanilla bagel I had on the back of the countertop. I had been looking forward to eating it for lunch. Jerk.

Baby is an overachiever and passed all of the criteria for the BPP in 10 minutes. It was nice to be in and out. He is very cute, too! They didn't do a growth scan today since it has been less than two weeks since my last but she said maybe they would next week since I am so close to delivering. He is still head down and his is basically squished against my placenta. Poor kid has no room left!

Oh man clucky, I cannot handle it when food I'm waiting for gets eaten (looking at you DH). I will NEVER forget the time he threw out my cranberry bliss bar that I had on the counter because he thought it was 'old'.

Got my shower! He was starting to stir as I got out. Also, he's grown out of newborn clothes so that makes me feel like I've accomplished something. He's a boob monster. And yes, he's eating again.

We use it for a regular drying rack for everything.

We use it for a regular drying rack for everything. I may do that, depending on how I can organize the counter space! Our kitchen is a weird layout and I can't even figure out where we will store bottles... Actually maybe I will get a little wire rack thing for the corner near the coffee maker. There is a lot of empty space there that could be used.

I found things I didn't even realize were still in storage, LOL. Like the Ergo, apparently that was still in there. Score!

Oh I didn't even think about using a countertop spice rack for bottle storage, but that came up while searching Amazon. That might work well.

Nice work thatgolfb! The boon drying rack was one of the first things I bought, saw it at a consignment sale and everyone was like 'yeah, you gotta get it'. Baby's movements are sure changing. I'm feeling way more movement down low and less from her butt and feet. It's not less frequent, just totally different. Lots of bumping and movement from her head/arms/shoulders (?) not so much big movements anymore, just little ones. No reason to worry, right?

There just isn't space for those big movements but as long as you are still feeling the same amount, you are good. As always, if you are concerned though, ask your doc about it
