  @MrsCrCalli I think yours is the first 3D sonogram I've seen where the baby actually looks like a baby to me (and a pretty cute one at that!) instead of like a picture taken by the Mars robot.

  thats why we waited so long..we didn't want to see the alien baby either lol 

  we are loving this DVD and series of pics! i can't stop staring at him! it was only 10 min but its filled me with 3 more months of anticipation and excitement

  I don't want to start a new thread for this because I think all of the CD moms read/post in here anyway. I currently have 28 diapers in my stash, some are newborn covers/prefolds, others are small and some are one size. Do you think this is a good start? We won't be doing 100% cloth until I'm functioning better after the c-section, so probably 2-3 weeks. I also have a wet bag on it's way.

  I'm getting 32 pre folds and about six covers in newborn size, and not worrying about one-size until I see what works on my baby. From what I hear you never know until you get there. I've registered for a few pre folds and covers in one size, as well as a few of the popular all-in-one brands to test em out.

  My husband and I went on walks with our dogs with ours every night. We put a teddy bear in it. I was sure that our neighbors thought we had lost it, but I wanted my dogs to learn how to walk with it before my son was in it.

  Today is one of those days where I could just cry. I've been in a terrible mood since I woke up. I tried to be productive so I decided to tackle the giant mess of boxes from the garage. I spent about an hour breaking down boxes, putting them in the trunk of my small car and rearranging everything to make it look orderly. I also donated a huge box of clothes to goodwill.
  
  Then the whole dog eating my rug thing happened. My patience completely vanished. I freaked on DD because she continued to jump on me after me asking her not to about 5 times. Then she starts crying and now I feel like a shitty mom. I took my Zoloft despite me wanting to skip today and now I feel even worse.
  
  Also, DH texted me earlier saying he failed out of air assault school so I know he's going to be in a shitty mood when he gets home. All I want right now is a long, hot bath and a freaking hug

  Are you regularly skipping doses of the Zoloft? Did you dr tell you to? I know when I miss a dose or have been taking my antidepressants less frequently I can be all over the place with my depression and anxiety. I went off my meds completely bc the toe I was on wasn't safe for pregnancy
  (And can't wait to go back on after) but if you're taking them erratically it could be causing you to be snippy and emotional etc. Hugs to you!

  Depending on how many are NB size, it sounds like a good start. I have enough so that I can do laundry every other day, which would be 24 according to DS1's most frequent changing schedule. What kind of wet bag do you have? Can it double as a pail liner? We have 2 pail liners, 2 med wet bags for going out, and 2 large wet bags for daycare pail.

  Well, I usually take it before bed and three nights ago I forgot to take it so the next day I just decided to not take it until bedtime. Well I got so much done that day and I just felt great, without the haze of being on it. So I took it that night and decided to skip again last night since I liked how I felt the day prior. You're probably right. I had a feeling that was why I felt so crappy so I decided to take it anyways but obviously it's not like the Xanax I used to take so it only made me feel worse.
  
  Ugh I'm such a mess!
  
  
  Thank you for the kind words, everyone. DH is on his way home so hopefully he can make me feel better.

  I've had a bunch of Braxton Hicks 5-6 minutes apart this morning. I finally decided to drink a ton of water and lay down to see if they went away. Apparently I was tired and fell asleep for 2 hours. I have so much work to get done that now I'm definitely going to have to work this weekend. I think they went away, but I need to wait awhile to make sure. I'm a little paranoid because I went into pre-term labor @32 weeks with DS1 and there are higher risks if I go into pre-term labor this time due my placenta being too low.

  I'm a little irritated at BRU. Why can't their prices be company wide instead of varying from store to store? I saw the pnp on clearance at one store for almost $100 off two days ago, so I went to a different (much closer store) today and they're selling it for only $30 off. What!?!

  Big hugs, hon!! You probably should talk to your doctor or MW about your medication. Meds like Zoloft work by staying at a certain level in your system, so skipping doses can throw the effectiveness off. You're probably better off taking a smaller dose every day instead of taking your current dose every other day, if you feel like it's too much. Or trying another medicine. Sorry to butt in if you didn't want advice, this is kind of my field and I can't help myself - I just want you to feel better! I really hope your day gets better now that your DH is coming home!

  Thank you. I have an appt on Tuesday with my Dr so I plan to speak with her about it. I'm already taking the lowest dose so maybe she can switch me to something else.

  Today has been an awesome turn around from the way I've been feeling the past few weeks. Not only does today kick off the 3rd trimester for us, but SO and I got the house that we really wanted!!! We are leasing still, but it's a full sized house to ourselves which kicks ass compared to the tiny duplex we're in now! We are moving in two weeks and we're so excited. I know it will be stressful, but worth it We have a bunch of people to help us, so hopefully I won't have to do much except pack and tell people what to do lol
  
  Sending some of my awesome day vibes to you @J&NL and @natpirt and anyone else who needs them

  Went to target and was so excited with my deals...I found receiving blankets on clearance, plus I had a target mobile coupon for $3 off circo blankets or bedding and a cartwheel coupon for 15% off. Blankets cost $1.81! My husband used the same coupons on the crib sheet we wanted..normally $10 and got it for $5.94! Yay!

  H and I used to go out to eat or for drinks once a week but I haven't felt like it since pregnant. And I miss sitting in my back yard sipping wine after work. It just needs to be summer and I need to be unpregnant.
