Re: ***3rd Tri Check-In Week of 6/6***
Our wood floors are going in, and I'm so happy they started with the nursery! The floors look amazing with the paint (Positive Energy by Behr...I love, love, love the name and the color!), and they both complement each other. I had a minor stress freak out over the weekend about moving everything back in, but I just need to keep the faith everything will go smoothly. My husband's work picked up like crazy and he is working on a case set for trial 2 days after my due date. I hope it settles soon. The partners he works for know about the due date, but I really hope they're not expecting him to take any active role in the trial (versus trial prep). He's been working until about 1 or 2 in the morning because of deadlines and I feel so bad he has so much going on right now and over the next two months.
QOTW: A friend with twins recommended making a calendar and setting up someone to come visit every day for the first month. She also had a toddler and she used the time to do things with him. I think that's a genius idea, if I can find that many people willing to come visit.
Nice to see familiar faces!
QOTW: Unsolicited advice is almost always bad. Wait for the pregnant lady to ask before you give your two cents, who wants to carry around that many damn pennies?
I live in a studio, but would love to see pics of anyone wants to share they're nurseries! @riveridgional, it sounds like yours will be beautiful!!
DSTtots4lyfe I'd love to see everyone's nurseries too, great idea! Might just add this to the intro along with the belly pics.
34 weeks this week. Feel great with the exception of this carpal tunnel thing --- just another symptom and another day closer to meeting our little one
We've been knee deep in going through all of our baby shower gifts. From putting the stroller together, finding homes for all of Baby's things, and doing Baby's laundry! Hehe the clothes are just so teeny tiny! There is just so much to open, organize and find homes for. Tonight I am tackling the diapers and wipes since I think all together I have about 30+ packages!
QOTW: I think the best advice I got was to not listen to anyone's advice. Which makes sense to me since every baby is different and every family is different. I've def sought advice from 2-3 moms who I admire as parents and trust for a lot during my pregnancy. I'm hoping to just go with my gut (and my DH's) to make the best decisions we can as parents and simply love our baby
DH and I signed up for an infant and child crp class. Can't believe we are in the last 10 week stretch!
I have my 32 week scan today. I will hopefully be finding out the date of my c-section which will most likely be the end of next month. Last appt my doc said by measuring that Wyatt was measuring 3 weeks ahead. We'll find out for sure today about that too. Here's my 31 bump shot (way overdue) and here's another maternity shot with my son.

Also, we got A LOT of gifts at our baby shower which I appreciate of course, but I still had to buy about $700 worth of things after the fact because so many people bought non-registry gifts. Silly to complain about I know but I spent a ton of time creating our registry and it was frustrating to have to buy so much after. Isn't there an acronym for venting on Fridays without repercussions? FFFC = flame free friday confessions. That's mine for the day!
@katie121209 I feel like I'm at a different store every day with my fingers crossed that they will take things back. I've had some pretty good luck by Googling which stores sell what and returning even without receipts. It's all the opened / without tags stuff that drives me crazy!

@emsmama15 thank you so much! What scarier than getting a call about the recall is reading up on it online. OMG! It's frightening and something I shouldn't have done lol but I'd rather overract than be sorry I didn't.
