So those who wanted to know where I found a mommy and baby group. Website and app called meetup.

Jilliants

Took our first walk today! Didn't stay out as long as I wanted because it's way too hot today, but it did put her to sleep!

Anyone watching 13 Reasons Why on Netflix? I read the book years ago and have binged the series the past several days. Cue me being terrified of letting my boys grow up. While simultaneously wanting to raise them to be good humans.

Jilliants

@datalover13 I actually JUST turned it on! I read it years ago too. Interested to see how it compares. 

datalover13

@Jilliants just finished. oh man. Let me know what you think!

Ooh, thanks for the notice! I just read the description and added it to "my list" to watch later. I like reading books before their shows/movies though, so I'm going to track down a copy.

I've discovered that my LO will fall asleep on walks too, so that's become a daily habit now that I feel well enough to do so. It's very helpful, and probably good for our mental health too

I love taking DD and our pup for walks but today we have had a fun mix of perfect weather and then snow 5mins later so I'm afraid to leave the house!!

We went on our first walk yesterday. The frost heaves and snow covered sidewalks made the double stroller a little hard to maneuver, but hopefully the weather will cooperate and melt the rest of the snow and make the frost heaves settle.

I took both DD1 and LO for our first public outing alone. LO had an appointment today and I was a little terrified and kept telling 3yo DD that I really really need her to listen today. She did. I'm so thankful she made it as easy as possible for me today! Way to go DD1! 

Also got my 4 year badge on the bump today.. crazy how time flies. Feels like yesterday I was just joining the March BMB.

@datalover13 binge watched this weekend and just finished it today. I hadn't read the book so I didn't know what to expect. I liked it overall. 

Gators&BoSox

Yay for well behaved toddlers @Burrberrymum!

DS, DD and I went to the zoo with the neighbors today. My belly legit looks like elephant skin lol. Same color, same texture. Just walking around with a big ol elephant ball sack

We went for a walk too! Just a short one.  But took advantage of the upper 40° and sun before yet another snowstorm tomorrow. Blehhhh. Send spring!!

So yesterday was really rough. After having slept for maybe an hour last night and maybe 2 hours the night before, I was really tired. The baby wouldn't really nap, and the entire time he was awake he was fussy or crying. It was bad enough that my dad even complained about it, and that man barely complains about anything. It sucked, but I made it through the day.

I put him down in his crib around midnight, and he just woke up for the first time tonight half an hour ago. I actually got a consecutive 4 hours of sleep.

kjd291

So/I had a dream last night that we all got together to meet up in real life! We all looked HOT, dressed to impress for a mamas night out on the town. It turned into a bad dream because no one recognized who I was. Hahah. I was running around from table to table with all of you drinking wine and couldn't convince you I was actually a part of our group. My dreaming self regretted my internet safety and regretted not posting more pictures of my face.  ((1-false. I spend way too much time on here for anyone to not recognize my sn-and 2 I spend way too much time on here when I'm still dreaming about you all))  @longliveregina you pitied me and let me sit at your table  

datalover13

Oh man, @kjd291 that is amazing lol!

As someone who has anxiety about talking on the phone, I love that our doctor has an online portal where I can email the nurse with non-urgent questions. (A's formula is still causing issues, an he's up to 6 runny poopy diapers a day, which was when the doctor said to let them know. Blah.)

kjd291

@datalover13 that's amazing!! I'm the same way! I begged to have DH call the pedi this weekend for me instead. Idk why but I've always hated phones!!

npaulie

@kjd291 HAHAHA, that made me laugh so hard!!! I would totally let you join my table :P

disneybaby84

Feeling loved that you dreamt about us @kjd291!  Love that there's wine in the dream!  

I went to the park today, saw a woman in athletic clothes looking super fit  with her kid and I said to myself, that must be what @triwellnessgirl looks like. 

wintersong

@ShannonJ96 Yay for sleep!! You deserve it!

@kjd291 I keep hoping you'll join the Facebook group so I can know you IRL. I totally get why someone wouldn't want to, though, so I won't peer pressure you. But seriously I feel like you and @Gators&BoSox and I experience the same trials daily. 

I don't believe April the giraffe is really pregnant. I was SO SURE on the first they would be like, "APRIL fools! Got you guts!"

I know!! Makes us all ending up with birthday buddies all the crazier!  

So... How many people are in the march FB group? With my last bump group they had like 300ppl starting out.

npaulie

@kjd291 what?! 300 people?!? That's nuts. The FB page only has 69 people in it. 

IloveAlbert

OMG! @kjd291 I actually had a dream the other night about the board too!  I don't remember seeing anyone's face but I remember calling people by their usernames instead of real names...I must spend too much time on here!  Also, @datalover13 I also hate talking on the phone.  I always try to make DH call for things!  He can never figure out why it bothers me so much but I've never liked doing it!

serenity13

I've been thinking about finally joining the FB group but wanted to wait until this LO finally makes his debut... Knowing there aren't hundreds of people on it actually makes me feel better about joining so maybe I'll give in early. I have Bump related dreams at least once a week - in the most recent one a number of us were sitting around talking & wondering how @DrillSergeantCat was doing...we wanted to give her an award for delivering her baby the way she did but couldn't agree on what type of trophy/medal to get!

Okay! Awesome. Glad to hear that! 

Yeah it started in the upper 300s! Now it's down to 250 almost two years later-but STILL. It's usually the same small group of regulars that post-but it's so many people that lurk I still don't feel comfortable posting photos and stuff when I do participate. 

Gators&BoSox

@longliveregina I feel like we are three different flavors of coke haha. Very similar with slight variations. I don't have Facebook so that's why I'm not on the group. This is really the only kind of social media I do I'm not into any kind of technology at all

disneybaby84

through joining the fb group, i personally friended someone that I had grown close to and now chat baby chat during the day here and there. Its nice. I would like more of you to be on there to even out the type of participation.

kjd291

Haha! @Gators&BoSox okay, now you have to pick which kind of cola  hah.

I don't "do" Facebook either: But I have it for a couple groups I'm part of. It is a nice more user friendly format.

So, confession: I think Coke is gross. The only soda I ever drink is Dr. Pepper or Sprite and I invariably get tired of it before it's gone. Soda = gross.

Now sweet tea I could down all day long.

@serenity13 Come join us on Facebook! We won't bite!

My parents have been out here since the first week of March and they're heading back home to Ohio this coming Sunday. I'm so sad about it! They've been so incredibly helpful, especially with my almost 3 year old. They're good about getting him out of the house and just keeping him busy. We don't have any family or close friends out here, and when they leave I don't know what I'm going to do. I'm not working yet, so I'll be on my own while my husband's working. The thought of not having extra help makes me nervous. I know that we'll get through it and it'll all be fine, but I'm still really apprehensive about it. I wish we could justify the cost of hiring someone to help with cooking, cleaning, and just being an extra set of hands. 

serenity13

@kiyamurph I sent @KellyT22 a message to join! That's awesome your parents have been so helpful, hope you can enjoy the last few days having them around! I'm sure you'll do great after they have to leave though!

You guys. I just finished my final semester 47 page research project a whole month early! There is officially now nothing on my plate left to do except wait for this baby to get here and although I'm sad he's not here yet I'm super happy that I was able to complete all my schoolwork in advance so now I can devote 100% of my attention to him once he's here! Silver linings, right?

datalover13

@serenity13 a basically 50 page paper in your last weeks of pregnancy?!? That is amazing! 

kjd291

@serenity13 that's it!! That's all baby boy was waiting for he just wants his mamas full attention once he's hear!
hah. But seriously: congrats! That's amazing!!

@Gators&BoSox it's yours. HAh. I'll take Diet it's the only one I've drank on occasion.  I also am not a bit fan @longliveregina i never buy soda - rare gingerale.. Otherwise I'd probably go for my childhood favorite -- grape soda  

Gators&BoSox

I never buy it either. When I was a kid it was a rare occasion drink like a birthday party or something so that's really the only time I have it.. don't need the extra calories haha and yes I find it so sweet! I'll confess though that jack and ginger is my go to drink 

kjd291

Mmmmm. That sounds awesome right now. Is it 5 o'clock yet? Hah. #sahm problems 

Gators&BoSox

lol I used to be a cart girl on a golf course.. any time is acceptable to me! #nojudgement

disneybaby84

I think the white noise for the baby also puts the cats to sleep.  

Jilliants

First solo outing a success! Mind you it was 30 minutes, but I'll take it!!
