What is everyone up to this week?
Re: Weekly Randoms 9/14
We started Phase 2 demo over the weekend and I'm so excited! Well, DH started demo. It's my favorite part of a project and I usually do most of the demo myself but I was either in bed or on the couch most of the weekend
I'm at the office today because we're onboarding a new employee. They are ordering lunch and I'm having an ahi tuna salad, so clearly that's the highlight of my day!

She starts ballet today so looking forward to an hour break during then!
I spent the entire weekend in bed 🛌 because I was so forking nauseous. I'm hoping it subsided but I don't think it will since I was sick my entire first pregnancy.
@gusgus14 I wish I could reno. We live in a tiny house (340 sq ft) and I'm not happy with some stuff but the layout is basically set in stone.
In other news my car battery gave up on life this morning, of course it would pick a Monday. I bought the car used, but we think it's the original which means that it's 9 years old, so we're lucky that it lasted as long as it did.
@gusgus14 Good luck with the reno! I'm jealous you can do it yourself. We're supposed to be doing some updates to our kitchen, but the contractor we picked ghosted us after coming out for the initial assessment, and telling us he would get us a quote soon. So we're trying to determine next steps.
@babyyodaonboard Working with a 4 yo is super human. I hope that she loves ballet, enjoy the break!
We're getting our house ready for market slowly but surely. I'm doing a couple of minor updates. Had planned to do the bathroom floor but first tri symptoms declared that a no go. DS had his first day in the 2s room today. @mrosek91 I also cried a bit and he's been in school. It's just so sad how quickly they grow!
@mrosek91 I hope he has a good today today! Sorry about your car battery.
@SkilledSailor we're tearing it mostly down to the studs! Planning on moving some plumbing around (shifting the vanity, moving the toilet) and adding some plumbing (a second sink and a freestanding tub) and then building everything back up. We're getting help with the plumbing but doing everything else ourselves (drywall, building/waterproofing the shower, floor and shower tile, building our vanity cabinet, adding/installing new lighting). I had planned on doing a lot but with the way I've felt lately I'm just not sure how much I'll be up for doing and I don't want to put the project on hold until I feel better.
@texas_t I feel your pain, when our AC went out, it took all of our savings. And the next year, our septic field needed repair. We are still trying to catch up.
@mrosek91 how was your son's first day? I always get sentimental at milestones and would definitely be feeling emotional about the first day of school. That was sweet of your husband to order takeout.
I'm kind of jealous you're already getting the maternity box out, I lent mine to my sister, and we're pretty strict with the 12-week rule, so I have to wait to tell her and get it back. Even once I tell her I'm not sure what I'm going to do, cuz she's not due until February. We each have a box that technically could be a full wardrobe, but since this is the first time we're pregnant at the same time usually we share all the clothes. (It's my 4th and her 3rd, so we've been growing these wardrobes slowly but steadily.)
@mrosek91 How nice to have such a large maternity wardrobe! Anything that better suits for 2ndt tri vs 3rd? Maybe y'all could rotate that way?
Today I had a long day at work then had a couple of my girlfriends over for dinner. I tried to hide that I wasn't drinking but didn't go well so I just ended up telling them. They are two of my closest friends so I know they won't say anything and would be supportive if something happened so I'm ok with it. I was itching to tell someone 🤣
She's only an hour away, so it won't be hard to swap as needed. With my first I was pregnant mostly in the winter, and her first she was pregnant mostly in the summer, so the original break-down was along those lines, but over the pregnancies we've both added to it.
@SkilledSailor I think a maternity clothes thread is a great idea. My last BMB we had a product spotlight every Monday, that went through the different things that were needed for pregnancy, and babies. The STM+ would list what worked for them, and what didn't, and STM+ and FTMs could ask questions, it was very helpful.
@mrosek91 I think my last BMB did the spotlights as well. I found them really helpful! Even as a STM this time around I'll probably refer to them a lot because I can't remember everything from 3 years ago.

@SkilledSailor for sure, I've heard it said often that if men were responsible for being pregnant and giving birth, humand wouldn't have survived more than a generation or two. It's amazing what we put up with. I'm sorry you're struggling. I hope it gets better soon.
Anyone else have a word or phrase their child misues? My 2yo is convinced that the phrase "you scared me" means "you made me cry" at first he was only using it when we yelled at him for doing something he shouldn't, so we thought the yelling scared him, but he's expanded to using it every time we say something he doesn't like. This morning I told him that he had to wait for his treat, because even though he got dressed so nicely the deal was the treat was for the car ride to school, and he wasn't in the car yet, and it was too early to leave. Cue waterworks so great they left a giant wet stain on my shirt, and repeated utterance of "you scared me"
