Lets hear em!

Only 3 for me today:
1. I gave up my flat iron for lent. So far so good, but I think it's going to be a long 40 days. 
2. However, my hair feels healthier already. Win!
3. I'm excited to see everyone's bumps tomorrow! I think baby had a gowth spurt recently. I feel large and in charge!

eta: Happy Tuesday! Have a great day, bumpies!

  • 1.  There are multiple names I like for LO but nothing "feels" right to me now that I have a bond with him wiggling around - we might never be able to pick a name. 
    2. I can't tell if I'm getting grey hair due to pregnancy or if it's turning blond. 
    3. I love my german shepard so much I can't wait for him to meet the baby
    4. I can't imagine getting any bigger but I know I have 12-14 weeks to go.
    5. I'm trying to convince my work to give me a telecommuting day after maternity leave but they are being d*cks.
    6. I can't tell what pain is normal since entering the 3rd tri: pressure in lower pelvis, multiple tight feelings around my bump, slight period like cramps.... all happens on days when I'm stressed from arguing with DH and exhausted   
  • 1. Got a lovely cold this weekend... Which has now progressed into a cough. Just a little irritating.
    2. Had a thunderstorm in our area really late last night. Which is fine except the dog hates storms and kept me up until about 3 this morning. Then an hour later I had to get up and pee. Yay for crappy sleep!
    3. I'm not alone though bc my team lead also got crappy sleep last night... His daughters goldfish jumped out of its tank last night and his dog ate it. So he got to deal with that... Hopefully I'll have some sympathy today.
    4. One of DH's business partners is being a pain. They all started a business this year and they have to file business taxes even though they haven't really made anything yet. DH volunteered to do the taxes, but needs everyone's SSN to get the appropriate forms to file. The business taxes need to be done by middle of next month and this guy is dragging on getting him the info.
    5. An extension of the previous problem.... We can't do our regular taxes until these are done and we're kind of counting on it to get some stuff done around the house before the baby gets here... That is if we ever get our return in time now.
    6. Birthing classes start tomorrow! I'm pretty excited!
    7. Tomorrow is also DH's birthday. We have way too many things in February all within a week of each other to celebrate.
    8. I'm making a list of things today that need to get done before baby. I think it might help keep me from stressing so much. Probably not.
    9. Everyone in my family always complains I don't call and keep in touch. The telephone works both ways people. You are more than welcome to call me as well if you really wanted to know how I was doing.
    10. Can it just be May already? I'm tired of working...

  • 1. Our admin is having a breakdown today.  She informed me first thing this morning that she can't do anything right.  I wanted to tell her that this was because she spent all her time doing non-work-related things instead of focusing on what she is paid to do, but I didn't.  She goes on stress or medical leave at least twice a year so I predict she will be out soon.
    2. I am so hungry.  I can't stop being hungry.  I want to eat everything.
    3. I think I may need to stop spinning soon.  It feels fine while I'm doing it but that night and the day after I am in tons of hip pain.  I really don't want to stop working out though bc it's keeping my weight in check (see #2!!).
    4. Baby loves Lucky Charms. Baby dance parties always follow my 5am bowl.
    5. This weather, ugh.  Seriously.  It was 20 degrees yesterday, which was sadly 27 degrees warmer than it was the day before.  Today, it's 54.  Go home Mother Nature, you're drunk.
    6. I'm starting to really worry about not making it to 40 weeks, and I have no idea why.
    7. It's hard to not buy baby stuff pre-shower. 
    8. I don't know if I've mentioned in the past 5 minutes that I'm hungry, but please give me all the food.
    9. My husband got a ZQuiet, which is supposed to alleviate snoring.  OMG it totally works.  If your SO snores, get one.  Totally worth it.
    10. I can't think of a #10 because I have to pee so bad, so I'm just gonna go do that instead.  Pregnant girl problems.
  • 1. Baby definitely had a growth spurt recently - I looked at myself in the mirror yesterday and did a double take at my bump.
    2. This three day weekend I did TWO Tracy Anderson Pregnancy Project workouts... feeling very good about that!
    3. I need to keep up the trend this week. Will be a lot harder after work since I've been so tired lately.
    4. At my last appt my OB said we likely wont have another ultrasound of LO before he's born (unless there's a medical reason to - like if he isn't measuring correctly). I'm bummed about that, I want to see him again.
    5. After an insanely cold weekend it's 55 degrees here today. So weird but I wasn't hating walking to work today.
    6. I've noticed my walks to work are slowing down as I get bigger. I'm definitely noticing this extra weight I'm lugging around.
    7. I'm wearing my pre-pregnancy heels today and strongly suspect I'll be changing into my (clashing) leopard print flats by the afternoon.
    8. My in-laws asked what I want for my upcoming birthday and I hate giving suggestions because I feel greedy and awkward asking for gifts :#
    9. I alternate between feeling like time is dragging on and disbelief that there are only 12 weeks left until baby is here!
    10. I bought a couple of maternity tops from Top Shop and am really liking them. Top Shop for the win!
  • 2. I wish my husband got the nesting bug. Mine is strong and I know he's frustrated and tired of all the projects I keep piling on.

    This is me! I try to tell him that it's for the baby's sake! Because the baby will totally know if the house is decorated...

    Yup, I've tried to acknowledge that this is my life now. I don't even want to think about how many extra calories I'm eating because I feel like I'm on the brink of starvation every 2 hours

    And of course now that I say this my mom calls. Creeped out a little by the coincidence.
  • 1. I have an interview today at 2:30 for a job at a different branch in my library system. I keep alternating between OMG I WANT THIS JOB and Do I really want to leave the branch I know? The problem is I dislike my department head's management style (wishy-washy and non-confrontational) and I'm kinda bored at my current branch. 
    2. I have to drive 45 minutes to go to an interview that will most likely be between 15-20 minutes- because I'm off today. But I thought it would look horrible if I was all like I"m off- can we reschedule? Maybe longer because at least one person who is interviewing me is baby crazy and loves asking how she's doing. 
    3.  I'm currently obsessed with doing puzzles 
    4. I have a strong urge to nest, but what I want involves taking stuff out to the shed but it's pouring down rain.
    5. My dogs are refusing to go outside because of the rain. 
    6. Evelyn is big enough to reach my ribs now... and she likes to kick them. 
    7. I didn't drink enough the other day, and now I feel like I'm playing catch up trying to rehydrate. 
    8. I'm trying to figure out freezer meals, but most of the ones I know I like are pasta, and I haven't tried making them since I found out about my gluten allergy. To the pinterest!
    9. I'm so behind on the reading I have to do for work, but I'm not at all in the mood to read. So crap. 
    10. I feel like I'm living on my heating pad (on the lowest setting) because I can't get my back muscles to relax. I think I will get some bathsalts today and see about taking a bath- but then I usually like really warm baths and obviously that's out of the question now. 
  • 1. I planned on going to the gym this morning, and then I unintentionally set my alarm for an hour later than normal. I was actually disappointed because my eating was terrible this weekend, and I felt like I needed to get some cardio.

    2. I feel like crap today. Headache and runny nose.

    3. I ordered 2 dresses from ASOS as options for a shower dress, and they both looked terrible on me when I tried them on. 

    4. DH and I attempted to out our crib together this weekend. It's a hand-me-down from my SIL, so we don't have any instructions. It was going well until we tried to get the box spring on and could not figure that out. After lots of Googling and YouTube videos, we came to the conclusion that we're missing bed rails that go along the bottom. Here's to hoping my ILs can find those at their house (where the crib was stored). 

    5. There's a big children's clothing consignment sale in my town next weekend. I'm excited to go check it out since I haven't really done much shopping for LO.

    6. I have my glucose test on Thursday. I am nervous.

    7. But, I will have another ultrasound on Thursday because the little guy wouldn't let the technician get all the shots of his heart they wanted at the anatomy scan. So, yay for getting to see him again. 

    8. I spent the weekend at my ILs, and I get more and more horrified with the eating habits my niece & nephew have (age 3 & 4). They avoid dinner, saying they're "not hungry," then spend the rest of the evening eating chips, cookies, cake, and all kinds of other crap. While I do understand that toddlers can be unreasonable eaters, these 2 are never made to eat healthy foods if they don't want them, and I think it's setting them up for a lifetime with an unhealthy relationship with food (like the majority of my ILs). 

    9. There's a baby shower at work today that I didn't know about. Actually, I'm the only pregnant one, so I really don't even know who it's for. It's not for me because the break room is decorated in baby girl stuff.

    10. I really need to get some new bras.

    I am in the same boat with my work - I should know in the next week or two, but I laid out a solid case so if I don't get it, I'm going to raise hell. Keep us updated!
  • 1. Had a cardiologist appt this morning - I laid down for the entire appt because I was tired, but she didn't care. Yay for good doctors.
    2. I had to get up FIVE times last night to use the bathroom.
    3. I have my glucose test this afternoon so I was trying to stay away from my coffee/coffee creamer, and I'm so bitter about it.
    4. I also turned down chocolate donuts.
    5. But not the bagel with cream cheese. Hope those carbs don't mess with me.
    6. My coworker that put his dog down came to talk to me because he felt we were off. I felt bad.
    7. I can't wait to get home and take a nap later today.
    8. I started a 'no Netflix during the workweek' rule yesterday, and felt super productive.
    9. Wish I knew what all changes were happening at our work place so I could put together a transition plan and begin training someone.
    10. Still really excited about that nap.
  • 1-it was -40 yes (-40) degrees here sat night and sun.

    2-vacation a week from today. Warm, beaches, and palm trees♡♥

    3- I hate leaving my cat when I go on vacation. I feel like she really misses us wheb we are gone and it kills me. 

    4- I am so tired of work. I work at a small hospital and on any given day I play multiple roles. I am a Nurse but also so c.n.a, Secretary,  and janitor. Yestetday I was cleaning rooms of discharged pts. Scrubbing toilets and mopping floors. I started feeling weak and really hot... I just wanted yell out I have a hard enough time functioning as a nurse right now ppl ><

    5-I have zero summer maternity clothes for my vaca and don't really want to go buy a full wardrobe for a weeks vaca.

    6-In one night I had a charlie horse aka leg spasm in one calf and about three hrs later had one in the other calf. I feel at any minute I could gey another...

    7-I could just binge eat on all the sweets in the world but om really trying to be better.

    8-I'm stressing my manager out because she's OCD about everything. Shes due in julyand has  her crib put together and I have not purched more than a couple clothes and I'm due in may.. Lady I am waiting till after my baby shower to buy stuff!!

    9-I want ppl to stop asking if my nursery is put together..as of now there is no room for a room to be just a nursery. Our bed room if big enough for our aueen bed only no closest or dressers. So our one and only spare room is our closest. Its bumming me out but when ppl ask I pretend like I just haven't gotten to it. Its doesn't feel "real" yet to me and I think having a room for her woukd make reality set in.

    10- now I'm cryi ng because I had to start thinking about it :/

    1. I had one of the worst poops of my life last night. Definitely in the top ten. Full body cramping, feverish, about to throw up, felt like it was giving me contractions, and took forever. I am usually a champion pooper, and am really upset about this. Anyone else?

    I have had a few to date and boy oh boy they really shake you up huh? I full on pant like I ran a marathon during these sessions. Rough.
  • @BabyL52716 I have the opposite problem with my maternity clothing wardrobe. Because I live in a tropical climate, most of my clothes are very light weight. I'm traveling out of state for my shower this weekend, and I'm struggling to find warmer clothes to wear without having to go out and buy a new wardrobe for one long weekend. If you're going somewhere tropical, I would just pack a swimsuit, flip flops, a couple of sundresses (some of my regular maxis still fit, so I haven't had to buy many maternity ones), some maternity tees/tank tops and some loose fitting shorts/swim cover. Depending on what you're planning to do on your vacation, that should get you through a week at the beach.
  • 1. Trying to low carb it before my glucose test monday. 
    2. Now that I know I won't be working after the baby comes It's really hard to be focused
    3. Slept 10 hours yesterday and I'm still tired
    4. Have tomorrow and Thurs off
    5. Looking back on old pictures and really regretting not enjoying my before pregnancy body
    6. I love ice. Chomping on some as I type
    7. The bump app is really ruining hdbd for me. I can never look at page two without the app freaking out

    Is there a such thing as seven things Tuesday?? That's all I got!
  • edited February 2016
    1. Im really excited that i am actually getting the hang of my espresso machine i got for xmas and can officially stop running to starbucks 5x a week for my latte cravings.

    2. Im really excited that DH finally got our living room finished so I can atleast move downstairs during the day and am not stuck in the bed. But i think the couch down here is actually doing more harm to my SPD than good. But i really dont want to spend the next 15+ weeks in bed.

    3. I really wish DH would see that some people (i.e. his Aunt) are rude and biogoted and wouldnt just dismiss their behavoir and tell me to ignore them. I get that, but i wont appreciate her talking that way in front of my daughter when she gets here. We love and accept everyone, we are not bigots, we are not racists, and i am not going to pretend thats okay with me. 

    4. I wish i could give DD like 7 names. We know her name, its set and done, it feels right. But i cant help but feel like I want to use more names! DH is dead set on any boy we have being his name the fourth, so i am secretly rooting for eventually having 3 kids so I get to name another! (i know, silly reason...)

    5. I really dont know how to explain to everyone at my baby shower that i have SPD and cant walk around, and be super friendly and hug everyone tight and show my gratefulness to the degree I want to. But i also dont want to be a drama queen and make some kind of announcement at the beginning that im in pain and cant move around.

    6. I wasnt really concerned before, but im starting to get concerned that ive already gained over 20lbs. My midwife isnt concerned, i am also a taller person so it distributes a little more but I just cant find it in myself to work to eat a better diet. I am not eating horribly unhealthy, but i am not eating as healthy as i do when i am not pregnant.

    7. I am starting to feel like i am going to want to keep my daughter locked in a cage to keep her away from all the insane people in the world. I am fully expecting to go into full blown hermit mode for a while after shes born. I am worried i wont be able to balance protecting her from things i dont agree with (see number 3) and protecting her too much to a degree that shes not getting the life experience she needs. It just seems like so many people in our lives right now are behaving in ways that are causing concern to me.

    8. I am annoyed DHs stupid truck broke down again, he promised me he was going to keep it nice when he bought it but went way off the rocker with modifications and i blame them for its issues. I am now car-less for 2 weeks because he sent his truck to get fixed and added on adding a new exhaust system. I really don't want to have my MIL driving me to physical therapy twice a week. I will probably end up deciding not to go, which isnt really a good choice for me. But i honestly enjoy the two times a week i actually get up, put clothes on, and get out of the house with out having to be on best MIL behavior. 

    I could literally go on forever. Im in a mood this week, I think i need to make another latte... 
  • 1.  I took the day off today - which really just means I'm working from home since I don't really get whole days off unless I really plan ahead.  I haven't had a "day off" in about a week and a half and I was about ready to lose my shit if I didn't take the day for myself.

    2.  I've been binge watching Property Brothers on Netflix which is bad because now I'm all about getting into a new place and "making it our own" which will probably never happen. 

    3.  The other night I had the worst pregnancy insomnia to date and basically listened to Husband snore all night and kept getting kicked by the dog.  Being awake all night gave me plenty of time to come up with the bright idea that we could just remodel our current home, which I obsessed about the whole next day and came home to tell Husband and he basically just stared at me like I was an idiot, which ultimately lead to me crying out of frustration.

    4.  Speaking of Husband...I'm so frustrated with him lately.  I'm not sure if my frustrations are being exacerbated by pregnancy hormones or these are legit frustrations.  But I talked to him last week about feeling like he doesn't help out, which didn't do anything, because he still has not done anything to contribute to household work.  So Sunday, after he napped all day, I asked him to help me with certain things (like wash three pots in the sink while I loaded the rest of the dishwasher) and he grumbled about it, then washed two, started on the third but didn't finish it and went and took a shower.  I figured he was just letting it soak, but three (two? math is hard.) days later it's still in the sink.  Then last night when I was talking about how remodeling our current house could potentially be an option for us, he just stared at me like I was an idiot.  I just feel like I'm doing EVERYTHING lately and don't really feel supported which is causing me even more anxiety about when the baby comes and I'll be the only one taking care of her and doing anything around the house.

    5. TTT is probably my favorite day on the Bump.

    6.  Last night I went on the Aeroflow Breastpumps website after reading several people on here had gotten their pumps through there.  I was originally planning on contacting Target today, but what's the difference?  So I filled out all my information and am waiting for them to contact me within the next few days.  I hope my insurance covers my pump.

    7.  I have quite a few phone calls to make today, which is part of the reason I took the day off...I need to call to schedule my glucose test, schedule Husband a Dr apt since I've been on him since Thanksgiving to make one for himself and of course he hasn't, call daycares, & pediatricians.  I had to apply for a repayment plan on my student loans over the weekend, but Husband needs to cosign the app and we're waiting on him to get an email saying his FSA ID is approved - which he just texted me that he received that email.  So hopefully I'll finish that tonight.

    8.  I am seriously loving all the movement from Harper.  And I can see her kicks from the outside now, finally.  She was super active the other night when I couldn't sleep, and she was the only one that I wasn't mad at for keeping me awake.  :)

    9.  I have been craving sugar like it's my job...and it was really making me worry.  Usually I can have something sweet after a meal and feel satisfied, but lately it's been I can eat something sweet after a meal and I just want to continue eating more sweets.  I read that it could be my body's way of telling me it needs more protein and fats, so I've been trying to eat more balanced meals instead of just pasta and it seems to be working a little bit.  Although I accidentally ate a whole pint of Ben & Jerry's The Tonight Dough because that shit is delicious and by the time I realized how much I had eaten I figured I might as well finish it off.

    10.  I spent over $100 on clothes for Harper on Sunday with Carter's 50% off Presidents Day sale.  I know I'll get clothes for her from my shower, and we have a mom-2-mom sale coming up in April where I can get more gently worn clothes.  But I'm just worried that I won't have enough clothes for her. 

  • 1. I've spent the morning at the walk in clinic with DD hoping and praying they would give me something to knock out her cold that's been going on for 2+ weeks. We got antibiotics which is great for most but she's had C Diff so I hesitate to give it to her.
    2. Found out yesterday I'm getting a large raise at work while I'm on maternity leave.
    3. Changed my maternity leave dates to start May 2nd...Not too far out!
    4. Starting a trainee at work today so my Bump time is going to be majorly cut :(
    5. Loving the OJ Simpson show on FX so far!
    6. I made ham and cheese sliders with mustard sauce on top for dinner tonight. I want to take all 28 to work with me and not share.
    7. I've done surprisingly well with not eating a bunch of my Girl Scout cookies! I got 8 boxes a week ago and still have 8 boxes left! They may not be full boxes but give a girl some credit.
    8. My best friend finished the shower invitations and they're super cute.
    9. I should be napping right now since DD is but I can't fall asleep.
    10. I should probably turn off A Haunting.

  • 1. Trying to low carb it before my glucose test monday. 
    2. Now that I know I won't be working after the baby comes It's really hard to be focused
    3. Slept 10 hours yesterday and I'm still tired
    4. Have tomorrow and Thurs off
    5. Looking back on old pictures and really regretting not enjoying my before pregnancy body
    6. I love ice. Chomping on some as I type
    7. The bump app is really ruining hdbd for me. I can never look at page two without the app freaking out

    Is there a such thing as seven things Tuesday?? That's all I got!
    I was just looking at my first "bump" picture which was at like 5 weeks...and I was so skinny and my belly was so flat.  I miss that and I really regret not appreciating it at the time.  I don't regret my size now because hello, I'm growing a human, but I definitely didn't appreciate my flat belly prior to being pregnant and always felt like I could stand to lose a few pounds.  If I go back to that size post baby, I hope I appreciate it more.
    YES TO THIS! I was just saying this to my friend... I did not have nearly enough appreciation for my pre-pregnancy body.
  • 1. Stayed over at my parents' last night so mom and I could spend some time going over nursery/shower/baby stuff. It was nice to get to stay in my old room, and nothing beats mom's cooking. 

    2. Forgot to bring my special pillow thingy and had trouble breathing again anyway, so between all the bathroom breaks I think I got maybe four hours of sleep, and none of them were consecutive. 

    3. The bed I slept in as a child is the same bed I sleep in now at my own house, which probably didn't help with last night's insomnia. I rarely sleep well in beds other than my own. For this reason I hate staying in hotels, etc. 

    4. It's a full size, and it's getting to the point where there really isn't enough space for DH, me, and the bump. My bedroom furniture is my most prized possession, though, so I'll never get rid of it - my dad got it from an aunt, whose grandmother it originally belonged to. He restored it to it's current glory, and about 7 or 8 years ago we made custom night stands to match. 

    5. Met my dad and sister for the annual father-daughter lunch we do for him every year today. I don't see either of them nearly enough, and was super bummed that I couldn't spend more time with them. 

    6. I finally picked out a dress for the shower. It's not the dress I originally wanted, but thanks to someone on here who posted a picture of a really pretty strapless maxi dress in mint, I was able to find one I'm really happy with. The only difference is that I ordered mine in eggplant. Can't wait for it to get here!!

    7. Almost ready to move the nursery furniture in! Just need to install some new trim on a couple of walls and reapply some paint in a few spots. 

    8. Finally decided on a couple of monitors...I've been really stressing out over this one because of my hearing problem. We're going to go with one that emits a strobe light when it detects the babies' cries (the receivers will go in the living room and kitchen) and one that'll connect to a special alarm clock I use for when I'm sleeping. I wish my insurance covered them, though - they're ridiculously expensive. 

    9. I haven't gained any weight since early in January, but my bump is still growing and stretching my skin out. My innie is now almost completely flat! I see stretch marks very soon in my future....

    10. It's nice being awake during the day for once, but my bed is calling me for a nap...

    You are not the only one. This has happened to me twice so far this pregnancy. What the hell?!
  • @wsgjmw1 and @jenbkc - I'm sorry you ladies have to deal with this too! I think it's my body's way of screaming at me to eat more fiber. Point taken.
  • 1. Its almost time to leave work for the day.
    2. Its a short work week since we were off yesterday.
    3. LO has migrated up north again so I can feel and see her kicks/punches and this makes me happy.
    4. SO and I had a good weekend and nice valentines dinner out then went to walmart (which has cute baby clothes for cheap!) so we bought her a few more outfits.
    5. Nursery is almost complete.
    6. Passed my 3 hr but still trying to modify my diet.
    7. I need to walk and exercise.
    8. I need to drink more H2O.
    9. I need to schedule some maternity pictures.
    10. My twatwaffle co worker is gone all this week... whoo!

  • 1. There's only 3.5 weeks left until we get the keys to our new house! Let the packing and cleaning commence.

    2. This weekend the temp here was -40c and we got hit with almost 2ft of snow today.  I can't find my car...nor do I want to.

    3. I've caught the plaque running through my house and I've had to change my pants 5x today because I pee a little every time I cough or sneeze. It can kindly take a hike anytime now.

    4. I quit my job 6 months ago and FINALLY my old boss can see exactly why I was done with corporate mentality. Also, he hand delivered my T4 tax form in this wicked weather today.

    5. My cat had gone batshit crazy but only on me. I'm not sure what's up with that...but it is freaking me out.

    6. My bffs are planning a shower for me in April. I'm especially excited because I didn't have ones for my older children so this really is my first.

    7. My 24wk scan shows no movement in my stubborn placenta and I've resigned myself to thinking my first c-section is inevitable. So many questions.......

    8. I could eat a case of Cadbury Crème Eggs. They have always been my favourite but they seem to taste exceptionally great lately.

    9. My OB will be a 6 minute walk from our new house! Walk!! I can't wait to move.

    10. On one hand I can't believe there are only 14 weeks left but on the other I'm dreading that there are 14 weeks still left.

    Happy Tuesday!!

    1) MH surprised me by painting LO's nursery. I love the colors!

    2) He then went on a painting spree and painted accent walls throughout the house. We've been meaning to paint since we built our house last year but we never got around to it.

    3) I FINALLY bought some stuff for LO. 

    4) The dresser arrived yesterday and sometime this week her crib will be here-I'm so excited!

    5) MH works in the oil and gas industry which has been taking a major hit. So far he has passed all the layoffs but his company just announced they're laying off 6,000 people by June. Fingers crossed that he passes through again!

    6) The uncertainty of everything regarding #5 makes me really nervous! 

    7) My brother has been living with us because of his internship. It's nice because I only see him once or twice a year, and since he's a chef he cooks! Double win!

    8) I love seeing MH get so excited about baby and seeing him "nest" as well. He has started so many projects! I know with his personality he'll complete them all.

    9) Tomorrow we have a meet and greet with a prospective pediatrician. My first choice wasn't accepting new patients but this Dr. looks promising. Fingers crossed again!

    10) Tomorrow is Wednesday, which means only 2 more days until Friday-whoohoo!

    edited because words are hard for me tonight...

    Not Tuesday anymore, but here's my three:

    1. I was banned for a couple days again. I emailed the BG's and it turns out both my accounts were inadvertently included in some IP ban. Idk how that works, but I'm taking it as a sign not to bump while I'm working. The unbanned both my accounts. So much for being a bad*ss. 

    2. New carpet is in the house. Time to start working on the nursery! 

    3. I finally started making baby purchases. It's like Christmas when they arrive at the door. :-)
    Someone said you were banned, and we had no idea why... Glad you are backkkkk!
