Hi! I forgot there was a new thread today. I feel like I got more done today than I have been. Including using Bar Keepers Friend and then a wire brush to clean the drawer pulls for the dresser/changing table I'm redoing. I shredded my hands a few places with the brush. working on spray painting them, but I think they're too chintzy gold. Tomorrow I'll try to get the dresser ready to paint and once it's white I'll see how they look. DH grilled chicken for lunch today(in the snow lol) and I made chimichurri sauce. Also avacados. We are a little late with discovering chimichurri sauce, but SO good. I love cilantro!

I can't keep track of everyone, will you be finding out sex? Thank you! We already know via the MaterniT21 test that baby is a boy. Just hope everything looks good. I don't know if I'm going to get any sleep tonight!

I realized earlier I was doing a bit of the waddle, too, like someone else mentioned (but I can't find now?). I also started to notice I feel like I'm running short of breath easily, which I'm not shocked by. It feels like I'm carrying much higher this time and this child is squishing everything including my lungs. I just continue to be baffled at how much earlier everything has started this time. mattsgirl2004 Good luck at your a/s tomorrow! Keep us posted - I hope all goes well and you get to see a happy, healthy baby.

DD (2) actually requested to see santa at the mall this weekend so we did that, and then grocery shopped for thanksgiving. I'm hosting this year (just our parents, my grandparents, my aunt, and my cousin) and they all feel bad "for making me host while pregnant" so everyone split up all the cooking. I'm basically in charge of rolls and mashed potatoes😂 Cheapest thanksgiving shopping trip ever🙌🏻 That is really sweet of them all! I am jealous. I'm hosting and people didn't really volunteer to bring much. I'm off the hook for dessert and rolls but am making everything else. And hosting overnight guests so I'll have to make them all breakfast in the morning. Bleh. polson, katietopaz I did my shopping at TJs yesterday and was also banking on the demo counter, but they were serving green bean casserole. DS was not impressed, lol. Fortunately they were also sampling cheese in the wine section and he was very enthusiastic about that. cp3 that is super obnoxious. Rage on your behalf. Why couldn't your DH suggest that she treat you to something for yourself? I agree with yianna, sounds like YH needs to burn some money at the spa on your behalf.

Anyone else having a hard time sleeping? My insomnia has been horrible this pregnancy. I am but its mostly related to my husband's snoring. I might kill him before March comes. IDK if he always has snored this bad and I'm just waking up to it now, or if it is getting worse, but I'm at a loss what to do about it.

Not exactly insomnia, but I'm getting to the point where no position in bed is comfortable for more than, say, half an hour. I'm tossing and turning allnightlong and it is kind of driving me crazy. I swear my joints and sides hurt within ten minutes of a new position and I just stick it out until it's unmanageable anymore.

I want to bring my DSLR on vacation but am wondering if it’s worth the trouble. Thoughts? It’s another thing to carry and it’s fragile, buuut pictures...
WWYD?

I think it kind of depends. DH brought his on a big trip to Morocco many years ago, and I am so grateful for those photos because it was a once in a lifetime experience. But we were just kind of casual tourists, walking around. He passed on bringing it on a hiking/camping trip we took to National Parks last year, because it was annoying to carry in addition to water and food. And our annual beach weeks aren't special enough to warrant the pics, so we don't take it then either. If he does bring it, make sure you have a nice bag for it. Preferably a crossbody that both of you could potentially wear.

I have RLP worse on my left side too so I try to stay on my right as long as possible. And it hurts to flip over. Ugh.

I always bring mine if I can travel with it easily (ie we’re checking our bags and i have plenty of room in my carry on or we’re driving) and if i have a safe space to leave it at our destination. I don’t want to have to worry about it.

I'm getting so many good Black Friday detail emails on stuff I want to get for baby boy, it's making me really excited for the end of the week:) (it's mostly small things, no gear or anything like that).

I am always team camera, so #nothelpful How big is it? Do you need to bring a ton of lenses/flashes/accessories or can you put one on it and go with that for your trip? Do you have a camera bag that isn't too big, but carries all of your stuff? Could you possibly use your camera bag as a purse (my go-to)? I have a Canon G9, so I just carry about 3-4 spare batteries, a charger, and a few SD cards in addition to the camera and still have plenty of space in my bag for my wallet and phone, so it isn't too much of a hassle for me to bring around; that's my experience.

Quick update while waiting for my OB. Measuring 4-5 days ahead still, weighing at just over 13 oz. Everything looks great! He's perfect! 😍 Thanks for the well wishes.

Mh has a cold right now and his cough is driving me insane. I finally got comfortable on my side last night and then he coughed on me. 😬 I made him scoot over to his side and told him he needs to start taking something at night for it.
