@LWC1112 they're having a pretty big sale right now, I got DS a bathing suit and swim shirt for like $9 each.
I have to shower and clean the house during DS's nap today and I'm not happy about it. His nap time is usually my time to put my feet up and rest. Boo to having actual plans later.
Today is mine and DHs 2 year anniversary. My sister is coming to watch DD tonight at our house so we can go out and I'm really excited for a break but that means I have to clean my house. DH is off work today but he had to go to the DMV to renew his license before it expires on Friday. I would wait for him to get home and help but there's no telling how long he will be gone.
I feel like someone beat me with a stick and then ran me over with a truck in my sleep last night. How can I possibly wake up more sore and tired then when I went to bed?
Whoever beat you came over and did it to me too
This made me snort laugh!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JUNE MOMMAS ............ I have been looking online for dresses for my maternity pics but no luck, kinda annoyed i have left it for last minute just like everything else. SO NOT READY and my pregnancy pics are this coming weekend blah.
@emmeline714 Have you looked at Pink Blush Maternity online? I looked at their dresses for awhile and so wish I had ordered one. I thought I would be able to find one at a store and had such a hard time. So I don't have any experience ordering them but they are really cute!
@justaudrey yeah but i am not comfortable taking pics and having stretch marks even though there is photoshops, ever since i saw my stretch marks i feel horrible about it, if it wasn't for sleep i would not have none. I was doing so good up until a few weeks ago
So today was our final inspection on our house that's been undergoing a remodel for the last 8 months. Our city inspector found a few things and technically we haven't passed... But he said they were so minor that we could go ahead and move back in on Friday as planned and he'll re-inspect next week. Woohoo! It will be such a huge relief to no longer worry about the possibility of having to move with a newborn.
I too am super nervous to weigh at my appointment next week. I have been starving all day. I put a frozen pizza in the oven thinking my family would help me snack on it when they come in from playing. .. well, they are still outside, and there are 2 slices left. Oops.
Anyone having serious rib pain? It's almost gotten unbearable. Feels like one of the babies is pushing their butt into my ribs more and more each day. I try to gently push back but I can't get him out of there! If anyone has any tips, it would be much appreciated!
@rikopy I have that pain all the time, but mine is because my ribs are dislocating. My MIL is a chiropractor, so she adjusts me every week and it helps. Other than that, when it's unbearable for me, sometimes having DH rub gently on the rib that hurts helps, and other times, I either have to push against them, or change my position. If I sit for too long, LO hangs out up high because I'm short torso-ed, so moving helps by giving her more space to go somewhere else.

Omg that is so weird you said that! I haven't had a single issue. Woke up from a nap this afternoon and haven't been able to shake it since I got up! So bummed lol just another side effect to throw Onto the list !

I feel like the creep up at the end for a lot of ppl. I didn't have any with DD until about 35/36 weeks then BAM! So far none this time either, bit I know it's coming.
Anyone not have a linea nigra? I didn't get that yet this time, either. I had it with DD but it was slanted lol
Today I had to do a non stress test, which I have to do twice a week. I'm only 31 weeks but they started me a little early (last week) because I had pre-eclampsia with DS and he had to be delivered through emergency c section because of low amniotic fluid, high bp and no progression. Anyways everytime before I go, I get a little nervous hoping everything is ok with this LO. Everything has been fine every time, but I really don't think they should have the word "stress" in the test, it just makes its seem more stressful lol...
@SkiChic626 I haven't gotten my linea nigra yet either. I remember it was pretty late with DS though, so I'm sure it will make its appearance soon. Mine took a long time to go away last time, how long did other people's hang around for?
@sunnyhoney6512 , I totally agree. The word stress makes everything much more stressful. I hated those when I had to have them with my last pregnancy. Hope everything continues to go well for you.
I have never gotten the Linea nigra with any of my babies... and my belly botton has never popped either. But holy stretch marks! Luckily no new ones yet with this baby.
Tonight was an absolute shitshow with DD. DH is out of town and she had to come with me to my sono/dr appt this afternoon that was obviously all about her brother. So on top of not listening (that's normal) she refused to eat dinner and then she chose to pee on the floor. She was on the toilet and had peed some and then next thing I know she is jumping off the toilet still peeing and starts to laugh. I honestly didn't know what to do. Angry hardly explains my emotions but I probably freaked out more than I should have. She was looking for a reaction and got one.
I cleaned her legs, put her in pjs and then put her to bed. She screamed for about 30 minutes. I feel like an awful mom, but y'all I was seriously going to lose it. Do you think this is jealousy? Just missing her dad? How in the world should I have handled this?!
@lotsofsunshine... my belly button has been popping out and going back in, depending on baby's position lol. I don't remember this happening with the first two, it's so weird!
I was so happy this morning when I woke up, I slept a straight 5 hours last night! That's the most I've gotten at once in over a week. I felt wonderful for half the day, and my kids were much better today too. I guess they just needed a well rested mommy. I just hope I don't have to keep sleeping on the couch to actually sleep.

This. DD is 2 - 3 in October and she has been very sweet and loving but when she feels frustrated right now she absolutely loses it. I think the kiddos can feel the change and they see it too. Hang in there momma! I would have been upset too. I never do well when DH is away anyway, I just feel "off" when he isn't home so I would have definitely been more upset than usual when. Especially when you throw in pregnancy on top of it all. We are tired!
No linea nigra yet and I still have an innie. I'm bummed because I am pretty sure my hospital doesn't have a photographer and I can't justify the money to hire one. Also want to get a few pics of me and hubby while I'm still pregnant but again don't want to shell out a bunch of money. I don't think I know any amateur photographers. So I bought a selfie stick?? Womp womp.
@rikopy Me! Me! I was going to talk to my dr about it tomorrow. It's so painful and I feel like I can't wait baby to move. Maybe it will get better when baby finally drops??
@car0liiine we did ours at picture people. It was $20... There is a great Groupon right now which included a 16x20 for our wall, and enough to give away to family.
@LWC1112 DS has definitely been acting out as well. I have struggled with patience, big time, these last couple of weeks so no judgement here! I probably would have done the same thing. Sometimes bed is the only solution.
@Bookhousegirl@LWC1112 DD has been acting out as well. She's the type where she needs to be in control so it's been a rough week or so. I'm hoping it has more to do with us taking her pacifier away and cutting her last k-9. We've been doing a lot of work to the new baby's room the past week or so, so I can only assume she's sensing the changes coming.
That being said I've been having some pretty serious guilt over feeling like we decided to have another baby with DD still so young. She won't even be 2 when he's born. These pregnancy hormones have me all messed up lately.
@Lynnlove28 the guilt is hitting me hard too. There are multiple times each day that I get teary thinking about how DS won't be an only child any more, and all the attention he will miss. I try to remind myself that, in the end, he will be so happy to have a brother. It's just hard to think of going from having our undivided attention to splitting it with a new baby.
.... This little guy already dropped. But mine did go away after sleeping last night. I'm wondering if because he's just getting longer maybe he was stretched out different yesterday or something. No clue. But at last appt Dr said head was in pelvis and he is ready to go. So I may just be out of luck if it comes back!

I'm going through similar behavior with my DD recently. I think it's the realization that she's not going to be getting all of mommy's attention very soon. We weren't sure if she really understood, but now that I see the change in behavior, I totally thing she gets it. My DD isn't potty trained yet, we were actually thinking of doing it over this long weekend, but now I'm wondering if we shouldn't bother yet because I've heard that they regress like crazy when a new baby comes. She'll only have a month to adjust to the training, if it works, before DS is here, and even kids who have been trained a lot longer regress, too. This morning, I was in the shower when she woke up and not more than 2 minutes after I get in do I hear her screaming bloody murder because God forbid Daddy go in to get her. He said she was totally fine and happy just calling for me until he was the one who opened the door, then all hell broke loose. Ugh. Fingers crossed that all of this is just a phase for our DDs!!!!!
@Bookhousegirl and @SkiChic626 I didn't know I had a linea nigra until a couple of days ago. Why?...because it only goes from my belly button down and I can't see that area anymore lol. It isn't super dark but I saw it in the mirror before I got in the shower and was like "When did that happen?"
My belly button is still an innie. It is so deep that is has never even flattened with any of my 4 pregnancies.
@jamiesc58 I still have an innie, too. I did with DD, as well, it never popped out or even got flat, but I did get a wonky linea nigra with her, so I guess they're not correlated.
@Lynnlove28@Bookhousegirl DS has been acting out, too. I've been having serious guilt over him not being the only one anymore. I feel bad for making it so he's not our entire world and changing his whole little life around.
I almost lost it last night telling DH we need to bring a few books to the hospital so I can read to him before he goes home to go to bed. I'm the only one allowed to read to him before bed. DH has to sit next to DS but only Mommy can read. I won't be there to read for a few nights!
He has a new attachment to me and apparently I've developed a new attachment to him.
I've had linea negra for a long time. All the way up to my ribs. I've always thought it had to do with your skin tone whether you got it or not, with lighter skin tones less likely to have it. My belly button is still very much innie. Apparently I have a deep ass bb.
@Lydiadiane I thought that, too, but I guess it's not the case! I would say I have a medium skin tone, and I did have one way before this point with DD. The human body is such a mystery!
I have a light line on my belly. It hasn't changed too much in the last month or so. My innie belly button looks half flat and half innie. My DH says it looks like a cat anus. Thanks Hun...

Lol! Actually I just visualized a cat's anus and can very much see how at one point, my bb looked exactly like one. Hahaha!! Mine def. became a half outie (only on the right side of bb) but it's still evident when I put on maxi dresses that are thin.
My DH can't stop touching my bb and last night, I yelled at him, "STOP TOUCHING MY OUTIE!" I wanted to cry and wished it referenced to an Audi than my bb. I was always an innie......sigh
@AliKay20 DH rubs my belly button sometimes too and I'm like stop it! It's so sensitive! My early FFFC is I secretly hoped for an outie because I think they are cute. Not sure if it's gonna happen.

This. I cried for an hour the first time I saw this photo!!! It came accross Facebook one day and I hadn't thought about the change for her yet. I cannot imagine what it will be like to say by to DD as the three of us for the last time. It crushes me to think for that first few days her whole world will change incredibly. I know she will be happy to have a brother, but it breaks my heart to change her world so much. She's all we've known for 2 years almost 3.
