  • @texas_t yuck! Time for a day off!
  • @runrinserepeat I’m still calling 26 weeks, 6 days third tri because it makes me feel better
  • @katy0990 oh for sure! Besides, not everyone goes to 42 weeks, so if you really want to divide it evenly...

    Though I'm happy to consider this the shortest tri, LOL
    Pass the sheet cake.

  • @flamingomomma (((hugs))) I'm sure it's overwhelming. I'm a list person, would that help you? Maybe a list of things that you need to take care of, then Prioritize them?

    @flamingomomma You will be in my thoughts and prayers!

    @PensiveCrayon  I have all of H and DS’s Christmas presents bought. I just need to wrap them.  I wonder if I can buy Christmas paper in September....

    Random belly binder comment:  I absolutely loved mine when my H tightened it for me. When I tried to do it myself, it’s just never felt right because it was not tight enough. Mine was Velcro.
  • @flamingomomma you've got this!! I agree with maybe making a list of things? If that helps you of course! Big hugs to you, you'll be so much happier!

  • I'm the worst at remembering where people are...do we have anyone over on the east coast that's being affected by the hurricane/evacuations? I've got a Mom in my other BMB that's having to evacuate their family, and I think they did last year, too. I haven't seen anyone mention anything here about evacuating, but I don't necessarily open every single thread, either.

  • @CecilB93 I think @orangecrush29 mentioned having to prep her house for it.
    How are you @orangecrush29? Are you still in the path of the storm?
  • @flamingomomma Hugs for you! I can't imagine it will be an easy road, but I'm praying you have some support! You definitely do from us!  <3

  • @orangecrush29 I work at a Forensic Engineering company and our guys go out after big storms, so we are prepping at our office here in Texas.  How are you holding up over there?

  • I have my amazon cart ready to go for DD and her birthday.  Everyone else is getting gift cards.  

    My biggest hurtle this holiday season is going to be not doing anything for my DH’s 40th.  He doesn’t want anything, thinks surprise parties are stupid.  For 35th I took him, his dad and mine to the Grand Canyon and I had planned on Iceland (for the northern lights) for this birthday but now baby, sooo I just feel bad....kinda.   He will be happy with a cake and a hug (seriously) but his family never did anything special for their kids birthdays.  I have been over the top because of it, hell I even throw his brother’s 40th and his dad’s 70th!! Poor DH, lol!!
  • I started making a labor playlist yesterday because I didn't have one with DS & when my doc mentioned putting on my music DH went for Christian music while pushing... noooope!

    So for those of you who are making a list/have in the past - what kind of music? I'm thinking a slower calm playlist (like the Christian music) for laboring & a pump up mix for delivery. I'm currently getting pumped up by my delivery playlist listening to a variety of songs from Push It, to Can't Stop the Feeling, to Hurts So Good.

  • @temmetime I really hadn’t thought about a playlist, but at my last OB appt “Push It” was playing through the speakers in the room and I thought how appropriate of a song for this office.  :D

    Re: Christmas gifts. My sister and I are both taking off a Friday in early November to go shopping. Anything after that will be online or gift cards. My plan is to have everything purchased by Thanksgiving and send the kids to the grandparents one day over that long weekend for all of the wrapping. I have my holiday budget spreadsheet started - I just need to start filling in ideas. 
  • RE holiday gifts: We are getting our parents digital wifi picture frames so we can send them baby pics regularly (they are all far away and in laws don't text). Other than that, probably gift cards or baby pictures lol. I would like to get the frames on cyber monday cause they're pretty expensive, but we'll see how i'm feeling getting to that point. 
  • I’m not sure what Christmas gifts this year will be. I have no extra money with this baby coming so....
  • Re: gifts. We're going to start buying things this weekend maybe so we can space out the money spent. We're keeping it pretty minimal still, but DHs family always gets us so much that I feel obligated to get just as much. I complained about it to DH the other day and he was upset by my complaining. Well, when MIL is buying stuff just to buy it, yes I have an issue because it's crap that just takes up space. And she's CONSTANTLY buying me kitchen stuff, when she KNOWS that DH is the one who cooks mostly due to time/situation!! Like great, thanks for this stuff your son is going to be using. I will say I limit the toys for DS to 2 from each grandparent/set. So total of 6 (my parents are divorced). If they get him more than 2, the extras stay at their house. I need to remind the grandparents of this rule...especially since my dad almost always has a new toy for him when he comes to visit...

    Also how sweeeeet! Can I have your husband? Jk jk. Also II I've never eaten at Jimmy John's. FFTC?

    My random: is anyone having birth photography/video done? I'm divided. The lady I've been looking at finally sent me her price packages and it's $$$ but I'm someone who is willing to spend good money for excellent photos. That said, I've never looked at the photos my mom took of the birth of my son, but then, I have some really bad memories associated with it so maybe that's why. I love looking at others' birth photography. Not sure about seeing myself all exposed and intense though.

  • @Llynde5 That's when I was telling how far along I was too!! Someone sad she couldn't even tell I was pregnant so I turned to my side. LOL

    @morgantu Oh my gosh!! That is such  great idea! Do you mind sharing the one you're getting? My husband's grandmother would probably love that, we don't get to see her much.

    @echo-charlietango Jimmy John's is SO MUCH BETTER than subway. I only wish they had hot subs too. I haven't been there in ages though, because I think the owner is a POS.

    @PensiveCrayon I had thought about it, but when it came right down to it my DH was the only person I could stand to be around when I was fully dilated and ready to push. I probably could have dealt with my best friend being in there as well because she is awesome and knows me so well, but she is a teacher and couldn't make it.
