So while in general being at a hotel by yourself sucks, the good part is hanging out at the hotel restaurant, ordering whatever looks delicious and putting it on the company credit card #bringondessert
I was at a hotel when 18 months pregnant and went crazy with room service. My boss didn't care that I ate two entrees, main and a dessert all in one evening, plus took stuff out of the mini bar. I would love to repeat that experience and get a good night sleep away from DS.
What? 18 months?!?
And a night alone in a hotel sounds amazing to me right now.

It's so fun to be away for a few hours and have all of these fun comments to come back and read.
For those of you getting clear bumps- I'm jealous. I'm still in the chubbing stage. I referenced being pregnant today to a supervisor who I thought already knew. He told me he had no idea, and just thought I was drinking a lot of beer. What? Don't tell me that!!
So I posted dh found all pieces to DD2s crib. He took down the full size bed and put the crib up. I was in bed didn't see it until this morning. I completely forgot DD2 went all eager beaver on it!! The front rail isn't bad because I put a rail cover on it. This one side rail however: Can I just make and cover the sides with a rail cover too? I remember her having flakes of wood all over her face but forgot al about he damages. The crib is beautiful and in amazing condition otherwise. Not worth me buying a whole new crib because of the rail marks. Any suggestions?
@canonmom413 I'm planning on making covers like these for this very reason.

I made a front rail cover like this for DD2. And was thinking side rails wouldn't be that hard. But there is a slight curve on the sides. I guess it would just gap there or not lay flat which isn't a big deal. I really like the prints the company from the photo above has. I may buy the front rail from them and make the sides plain to match.
@curlyq423 I wanted to mention this in TMI Tuesday, but my crotch has been hurting too! I was tell DH it almost feels like my crotch bones (very technical terms here) are separating. Maybe my hips are making room?
Also, sorry for blowing up the feed right now. I've been so busy at work and I'm trying to catch up on here!
My company laptop blocks websites they feel are counterproductive to work. I'm at a counter day right now, it's empty, I'm bored as &%$# and I can't even play games on my computer. I could on my phone, but I feel more professional typing away at my computer than messing with my phone. Sigh.
@bluejeanbabi05 I prefer typing away on my work computer as opposed to my phone as well. When I walk into a co-worker's office and they are on their phone, it is obvious that they are doing something personal. So, I even bump from my work computer. I know that my company could find my history, but honestly, the IT guy doesn't care.

DD1 (turning 3 next month) is suddenly obsessed with the idea of getting to hold the babies after they are born. She keeps telling me various places that she could sit while holding one, and insists that she has to "be vewwy still and vewwy careful." I have no idea where she got this (probably Daniel Tiger or Doc McStuffins?) because I haven't said anything about her holding the babies, but it's super cute!
Anyone have suggestions on where to buy a plain maternity tee? We're going to an Eric Church concert next week and since we have pit passes (cleared by my doc, simmer down), a girl at work is making me a tshirt that says "Having a Record Year with Baby #2". Or that's the pick right now. I'm usually a go-to Amazon girl, but having trouble finding a prime one in a color that I like. In-person store or online is fine...
BFP#1: 12/3/13 EDD 8/15/13. Heartbeat found on 12/26/13, HB gone on 1/4/13. D&C 1/7/13
BFP#2: 4/19/13 EDD 12/28/13. Team Green for pregnancy and Baby Girl arrived 12/21/13. BFP#3: 2/9/13 EDD 10/18/17. Team Green for Round 2!

I found a bunch of solid color and white tees at H & M. And lots of times they are on sale, like buy 2 get 1 free.

I keep waiting for my work to block The Bump due to excessive activity. Everything else seems to be blocked.
To borrow @carries2018's favorite word, zomg my cousin just texted me that her newborn hates the brand new halo bassinet they were gifted, and it's ours if we want it
When I was at my firm, one of our clients implemented a new rule that anyone working on their cases could not have access to personal e-mail and social media websites on their work computer (as a security measure). I got an e-mail about this from IT, and I hadn't worked on any cases for that client in over a year so I e-mailed them in a panic asking them to please not remove/block me from Facebook and Gmail. For work purposes, obviously. I totally used Facebook and Gmail for work.
Informal poll... who still gives, or doesn't give, Mother's Day gifts to their mom? I'm ready to break the tradition (but maybe I'm totally heartless), and think a nice card should suffice. DH on the other hand still says moms need gifts (4 total, we each have a mom. And step mom). Honestly, I'm over it. I struggle to find them Christmas and birthday gifts as it is. And I know my mom wouldn't care. I don't remember my parents buying gifts for their moms for Mother's Day.
I'm really thinking at some point in adulthood this ends, or is my heart just three sizes too small?
@purplestarz I get a gift for my mom, DH gets a gift for his mom, and we host brunch for the two of them and their SOs. I mail my stepmom a card, but DH doesn't even do that for his stepmom.
