3 children: 14DD, 9DD, 4DS 

Belly button is hurting and I think I got a stretch mark on it where my belly button ring once was 🤣. A very long time ago. 

I love feeling the baby move! It is my most favorite part of pregnancy. Well, that and I can use the excuse of being pregnant for almost anything. 

Also, I love the two little boys that I care for, but the baby is constantly whining unless he has a binky. And the toddler won’t stop playing with himself in the bathroom! Help! I’ve never had boy toddler problems before, and I’ve done everything I can think of to get him to stop. I literally have to supervise him every time he goes potty.

Rants/Raves: I had a zoom meeting last night and it lasted an hour and a half which is about twice as long as it really needed to be and I'm still grumpy about it.

@brynn_mamaof4 ohhhhhh should we start a nursery thread? I love home decor! We probably won't start on the nursery for several months since we need to do our master bathroom first (hopefully starting the plumbing next weekend) but we already have a design started!

Rants/Raves: @brynn_mamaof4 I'm not a good decorator at all, but I'mm thinking about doing Dr Seuss for the nursery

GTKY: I;m feeling pretty grumpy lately.  Last night I spent 2 hours in the middle of the night trying to get my daughter to go back to sleep in her bed.  I failed and lost 2 hours of sleep

Rants/Raves: So the word cravings seems to mean something else when you're pregnant, but I don't always blame it on pregnancy, just on enjoying food. I've been craving bread and made some amazing 24 hr loaves. So satisfying. 

@mck388 Almost made up for the breastfeeder who decide to have a buffet at 12:30 am and it seemed at least two hours. Poor kid, I was having a very touch sensitive night and definitely trying to ignore him and roll him into his side bed after 10 minutes. He wouldn't have it and started screaming and I felt bad because my MIL was staying the night. Alsoo I felt a little obligated to keep trying so my MIL would sleep well, even though I was having a very bad touchaphobic moment. 

GTKY: A gif that describes your mood, or a gif that reflects your life lately.

@gusgus14 I would love it! I know there will be one later likely but it could be fun to gather some ideas and get opinions! I pretty much have it mostly planned.. I just need to start working on it! @mkc3888 I love dr sues! Actually a couple weeks ago we visited an art gallery we like and they were showcasing a dr suess collection, some really rare paintings of characters never published and there was this one piece I fell in LOVE with. It was 3 pages from his planning with notes, drawings/sketches and we almost bought it. We are still contemplating (it’s just pricey of course) but it would be an amazing piece for the foyer I think. I’m pretty sure my fiancé took a picture of it so I’ll get it tomorrow and post it here!

Also would love a nursery thread. I just started a pin board and am excited to get started in Feb.

I'll go ahead and make one!

@mkc3888 here is the Dr Suess artwork we are thinking about getting that I mentioned. Picture does not do it any justice... it’s so so cool!
