  • So DH and I are terrible about taking care of our yard. Neither of us are interested. The last people that owned this house were landscapers so they had so many plants and its just overgrown and horrible. Our parents finally intervened and offered to help. FIL came with a shovel on Sat and dug up a bunch of stuff - including a lily I planted last year that I actually liked. Oops. I wasnt really mad (I planted two and that one was pretty sickly) but he showed up today at 915 AM when my lazy ass was still naked in bed with another lily to replace that one. And let himself into the house with his key. Hahaha. Good thing I wasnt asleep on the couch!

    And no, we will not have a changing station in the living room. I can't even imagine the mess that would entail. We still do every diaper change with DD 2.5 years later on her changing pad, and we will with this one too. I wonder if it's a CD thing.

    I will, however, be re-stocking a bin with nursing "supplies" like granola bars and magazines and the TV remote. Now THAT was a life saver last time.
    We had the PnP downstairs last time and changed DS there, but I'm not doing that again. Partly for space, but also because of CDing I think. I didn't start CDing DS until 6 months. 

    And yeah...definitely need to stock up on the late night snacks for nursing...

    I have no idea what the rest of your post means because I can't figure out the abbreviations @-) but this one line is fantastic \:D/
  • Because i need to get this out somewhere...


    I FINALLY GOT LAID. 

    Yes, that needed to be shouted. Lol. It had been since February. Damn. 

    Of course this resulted in me getting less then 3 hours of sleep, but today i'll totally take the trade off. 
    I take my hat off to you.
  • @Soon2BMrsN‌ can we see pictures? We still have to put up our tree/forest creature decals. It already looks a little intimidating and I haven't even thought about counting leaves yet! I might just let SO have this one as "his project" for LO.

    Lemme see if I am can figure out how to attach one... I'm tech-stupid sometimes.

    This really bites-- almost 38 weeks pregnant, yesterday was my first day off work, Friday is my bday, and I officially have a stomach flu. It sucks being sick but I worry more about how this might affect LO.... It's bad enough I have hyperemesis too. Light at the end of the tunnel she'll be here soon I just hope not before I'm over this crap!

    @Bpargood‌
    I got the stomach flu at the end of my first pregnancy and it was a total nightmare. I ended up getting a shot of phenergen(sp?) to stop the vomiting. Just know that the baby is ok and getting what they need, it's you who is losing energy/nutrients. My MW told me that when I was going through it and it made me feel a little better. Hope you're feeling better soon!

    Thanks for the info. It's reassuring. And just because of hyperemesis I know me barfing all over the place isn't affecting her but I can't help but worry. Oh and worrying that my dry heaving is going to somehow cause my water to break. Am I that irrational? Lol

    I just realized I had some phenergan too but threw it out since I wasn't using it. But I will go get a refill of my zofran hopefully that helps!



  • I have an Old Navy super cash coupon for $30 off of $75. Every time I try to use it online, all it does is take the tax off which is like $6. What the hell, Old Navy? How am I supposed to buy all the cute baby girl pants with ruffles on the butt if you won't accept my coupon?!

    Those supercash coupons SUCK. Check the fine print - you can't use it on everyday steals (which means most of the stuff I actually want!) and it took me a good twenty minutes to figure out that's why my discount wasn't working. If its just a technical problem, call customer service, they're actually pretty helpful.

    The coupons usually exclude their everyday steals and a lot of basic items you'd usually want to buy, so that might be why your coupon is not working.  So annoying.

    I just thought about this last time I grocery shopped and bought some granola bars but need some other stuff, too...what else do you guys like to keep on hand? Last time I ate way too many Pop Tarts at 3 a.m. Trying not to do that again.
  • I follow Jenna Jamison on Instagram. Lord, she looks awful. Straight up junkie. She's always posting old pictures of herself to hide behind, but the recent pictures are just terrible

    If you have a Trader Joe'a nearby, I'd suggest going there to stock up on snacks. Some are organic/healthy, some are total splurges, but I do find that they offer better variety -- I get bored easily with regular grocery store fare.
  • ooo...Trader Joes! That's a good idea @Soon2BMrsN

    Does anyone else feel bad about sleeping in or napping when your SO is at work all day?

    My husband is glad that I'm able to stay home, but it still makes me feel a little guilty. I try to keep the house clean and have dinner at least started by the time he gets home and that helps my feelings a little.

    Dont. I've been given strict orders from my SIL and mom to do nothing and nap and feed right now. They know me too well to know I'll overdo it. The whole not being able to drive for a week or two and not being able to carry anything other than DS really threw me for a loop. Anyone else not know these rules???

    I knew about the 2 weeks no driving because of DS, but I'm less than a week in and already stir crazy.

    Somewhat, but I have been trying to do stuff around the house to prepare.  At least, what I can.  DH doesn't care, he is just happy that I can relax (which means I am actually conscious/coherent when he comes home from work), so we can have our own quality time in the evening.


    I clean up everyday and make dinner every night. I just feel bad that I can't do more. Oh, and I take care of three pets. He's happy I can relax, but he's a very active person, so I feel lazy sometimes.

  • Anyone else suddenly hating anything on their belly? 


    I prop my laptop up there and it is so uncomfortable I can't stand it anymore. It's pressure and it makes LittleDude push it up and away!

    Weirdness.
    This has been happening to me lately, more so little man pushing everything off or moving like crazy if something touches my belly more so than myself but sometimes the pressure is annoying/uncomfortable

    I did for the first week... Until I reminded myself of all the not-pregnant things he has been blissfully unaware of. He's sweet and precious, but also happy to just let me explain baby things to him. Plus, I have to go back to work at 8 weeks PP and that hurts my heart. I want to be a SAHM so bad, but I need to work at least 1 or 2 more years.



    Oh, I wish you could be a SAHM, too! I will be for a few years, then go back to cardiology. It just makes more sense to stay at home if we can afford it, which we barely can, but MIL and my parents help out financially without us even asking. I consider myself very lucky. It's a lot to live up to though.
