GTKY: Are you an early bird or a night owl? Right now I’m just tired. Normally I’m a night owl. I hate having to wake up in the morning.
I've had pretty good luck getting furniture on Facebook marketplace. The trick is to keep check it or set a notification for your search. The good deals go quick!
Have you tried cocoa butter? That seemed to help when my skin hurt from all the stretching.

How are you feeling? (Cravings/Symptoms): I finished out my bottle of Unisom last Monday, and figured I'd be okay this week past week, but I had waves of nausea at random times all week. And according to DH, I tossed and turned all night. I got another bottle even though I feel like I should be passed the point of taking meds for this.
Rants/Raves: DH's and DD's birthdays are this week. It's party city here! Crazy week.Today DD has a cardiology appointment, Tuesday is DH's birthday, Wednesday is DD's birthday plus another dr appointment with her ped. I'm going to take her out for breakfast before her appointment, then daycare is moving her up classes, so she's going to be way off her schedule. Thursday we have to take our car in for an oil change/check up. *TW* And Friday is my MC due date *End TW* Saturday is DD's party and my parents are coming to stay for a week. DEEP BREATHS.
Questions: Not now.
GTKY: Are you an early bird or a night owl? Neither. My sweet spot is between the hours of 9am-1pm, and then an extra burst of energy from 4-7pm. I do get up at 5:45am and go to bed at 9:30-10pm. So I guess an early bird, but not by choice.

GTKY: Are you an early bird or a night owl? Usually a night owl but lately I feel like a bed junkie instead.

GTKY: Are you an early bird or a night owl? I'm neither, really...or both, maybe. I like to get up NLT 730/800 and stay up until 12 or 1. I feel like I can make the most of my time that way.
EDIT: Muscle Memory issues...ok, I used the wrong word.
@marebear15 so sorry about your nausea. that's the worst.

Also, as sweet as a gesture as it was, I'm not thrilled about the 3 boxes full of MH's childhood toys and baby things that MIL brought. There are a couple cute keepsakes, like MH's first baby shoes (buster browns) and his first blanket which was only used to bring him home and there is a cute outfit that MIL knit for MH that I wouldn't mind using for DS. But the rest, it's just junk. It's mostly stuffed animals and other toys that clearly look 40 yrs old and kinda musty from years of storage. And of course MH is sentimental about it (I'm not a super sentimental person in general) so I can't say no but I'm certainly not wanting to give it to DS. Maybe some of the wooden toy cars when he's older but that's about it. So now I've just got more boxes to store. 😑
GTKY: Are you an early bird or a night owl? Usually a night owl, but lately, neither. Early to bed, late to rise.
@marebear15 *phew!* you have a busy week ahead of you!! **TW** sorry and sad about your upcoming due date. Creepy internet hugs ❤ **END TW**
@stashattack glad you're feeling good overall! Good luck finding a great daycare!! I also have a million things to do and never seem to have the time anymore. The lack of physical mojo doesn't help either.
@FyreFlyeRush bummer you can't do things to your house that you want to. I feel that way too about some things in my house but money is what's stopping me 😝 I say, go snuggle your man!
Baby is the size of a(n): coconut
GTKY: Are you an early bird or a night owl? A little of both these days. I like staying up after the kids are in bed for kid free time, but I cannot sleep in anymore, and like to get my day moving.

Baby is the size of a(n): water bottle
GTKY: Are you an early bird or a night owl? Neither. I've always been someone who needs a lot of sleep. But I'm more night owl than morning person. I hate morning.
Edit - It's just frustrating to have this nesting instinct and not be able to do much about it. This bedroom, at least, will stop being so depressing and dreary.

GTKY: Are you an early bird or a night owl? I tend to do my best work in the morning, so I'll say "early bird" although I don't have a super-easy time getting out of bed in the morning.
@marebear15 wow what a busy week! Hope everything goes well at the birthday party this weekend!
@stashattack I've had a couple backaches/pain this pregnancy. My doctor thinks it has to do with the position of the baby on a nerve since it never lasts long. He just said to lay down and relax and hopefully baby will fix the rest.
@peppyj9 Old baby stuff that you do not want is the worst! My MIL tried to give me my SIL's old velvet dresses and I kindly had to deny them by saying maybe SIL would like them. Then while she was going through them you could see all the old stains. Maybe keep what you like and have him to tell his mother that you're not interested in all of it and maybe she would keep and store it.
@MollySm I know it seems like a pain in the ass now but it will be worth it. It's more of a pain to have no heat in the middle of the winter with a newborn and that's from experience.
@persnickity It's definitely not easy being team green but always worth it in the delivery room. Part of me wants to know NOW but the other part doesn't.
@cats_in_a_window no letdown feeling yet. I also just weaned my youngest about 3 weeks ago so maybe that's why.

How are you feeling? (Cravings/Symptoms): I'm feeling ok. I'm still tired but overall can't complain. I do have some pelvic pain already. I'm assuming maybe because I've given birth twice already but damn why so soon!?!?
GTKY: Are you an early bird or a night owl? Neither..... I hate getting up in the morning but also have trouble staying up at night. If I had to pick I'm probably more of a night owl that could watch movies cuddled with a blanket while everyone sleeps occasionally.
Also agree that pregnancy in general sucks. I just want my baby! Wish there were an easier way to grow one!
up last night from kicking the heck out of my
bladder! They are killing me. Idk how I’m lasting the next 4ish months.
@marebear15 You make me exhausted just reading your posts!
@stashattack I also feel behind on tours. I need to set up a labor and delivery tour one of these days and it is just constantly on my to-do list...
@peppyj9 I think my worst nightmare is to get a cold at this point. Ugg that just sounds miserable. Hope you are the mend soon! Also, I don't think it's rude not to use old stuff. We do a delicate balance of old and new in our nursery. It took some convincing that we didn't want the 1940s crib for instance but we got there in the end and only I cried lol!
@FyreFlyeRush Not being able to do the things in your house that you want to do is a frustrating experience. We have so many things that we want to do but most of our hesitation is simply financial. It just doesn't fit in the budget and it is hard to wait for that magical money to appear...
@catsinawindow yay for good thyroid numbers!
@MollySm at least the house will be warm but hidden costs are always the worst!
@persnickity I was feeling a little left out as team green at the 20w mark but I'm really happy now actually and feel no desire to know weirdly. Though my MIL insists that the US tech wouldn't be able to hide it from us and that we just wouldn't tell her....but that's a whole other story lol
@mispanda I feel you on the not enjoying pregnancy thing. It is okay but I don't like not being able to do the things that I used to do. The plus side is that people look at me and smile all the time so it's nice that it makes others happy I guess.
Baby is the size of a(n): coconut?
GTKY: Are you an early bird or a night owl? Definitely an early bird. Any cognitive work past 8pm isn't going to happen. That doesn't mean I wake up early necessarily but I definitely can't stay up late lol!

@marebear15 hope your week of birthdays and events is going well!
@stashattack we ended up with touring 3 daycares. The first one used scare tactics on us. Told us that spots were limited and waiting lists were long for places in our area. They said there were two spots left and we should make a deposit fast. I freaked, gave them a check that same day. Then found a better fit and ended up losing the deposit.
@mispanda I was hoping the movement down low was that the baby had turned and wasn't breach anymore. I've been feeling a lot of low bladder/crotch kicks.
@biolprof your mil is crazy. Trying to read an ultrasound without training is crazy hard.
Monday: DD's cardiology appointment. We did an EKG and they noticed a premature atrial contraction in the 10 seconds she was hooked up. It's a no-biggie, but they wanted to do a 24-hour monitor to double check that these aren't getting more frequent and are still benign. Also, we found out that they are upping her medication dose, which means we have to go back to the stupid, rude compounding pharmacy. Still trying to find a work-around this one.
Tuesday: DH's birthday. He wanted steak for dinner and I needed to make his dessert for his party of Thursday, so I had to run to the store after work and didn't end up making it back to the hospital to drop off the heart monitor. Found out I forgot things I needed at the store, and I had no idea how to follow a simple recipe 🤦 but with the help of my sister, I was able to have everything done and eat dinner by 7pm 🙄
Wednesday: DD's birthday. She had her 2 year old check-up in the morning, so I was able to spend some quality time with her. I planned to grab Starbucks before her appointment, but missed the exit for the first Starbucks, so I waited in Target parking lot until they opened. Only to find out their water main broke and I had to double back to get my Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew. Worth it. Made it to her appointment which went well, minus a tantrum on the floor, ran by the hospital, and made it to work only 2.5 hours late. Then I get a call from her daycare, stating that her shot form didn't have the Florida seal on it and therefore is not legal. Her pediatricians office said that Florida Shots (website? program?) was down, they were doing them by hand, and they would let me know when they could print out a proper one. So now I need to go back to her office and pick that up. I was supposed to make DH's birthday dinner but opted to chill on the couch and watch The 100.
Thursday: DH's birthday party. We have two cars and one of them was due for a check up, so we had to drive that one into Toyota before work. I woke up dizzy and nauseated, which I figured was dehydration. Went to work and threw up an hour into my day. Instead of going all the way home, DH dropped me off at my ILs house which is 2 minutes from work and I chilled there napping most of the day. We went to go pick up the RAV and I proceeded to barely make it to the bathroom sink inside Toyota dealership, and of course clogged up the sink. Fortunately, I was able to find a female worker to let her know. SO embarrassed.
Friday: Back at work. Nothing on my plate today besides a deadline that I should be able meet. *TW* But it is my MC due date, and I'm feeling kind of numb. I'm not sure when it's going to hit me. *End TW*
TLDR: My crazy week got crazier with extra dr appointments and me getting sick.
