I got my stroller/car seat today. Folks, it's real! We are officially prepared to take home our child. Shit is getting real.
I got a bassinet today (a shower gift that came in the mail). I totally put it next to my bed and envisioned having my LO in there... he has a place to sleep (besides his crib), this IS real!
I have all the necessities, just need to organize and clean up everything! YIKES! I have another shower this weekend so I'm waiting to put everything away since I'll likely just make another mess again. My mom is coming the following weekend to help me, and then I'll officially be, for the most part, ready for baby! My heart wants to explode I'm so excited.
@bowlwoman - My husband gets SO excited about extra innings when we're at a baseball game. He ALWAYS says, without fail, "Alriiiiight! Free baseball!" Sometimes I want to punch him, but it is fun to see a good game like that.
Luckily he only watches soccer on TV - I couldn't handle being at a game for nearly 2 hours that could end in a tie. No thank you!
The three women that have had their precious babies have my anxiety level at its max! I am so excited i feel like running around jumping and screaming lol! I cannot wait to have this beautiful baby in my arms and kiss her sweet little cheeks. Im so glad they have all had healthy babies!
Can someone please come to my house, shake MH, and scream at him TO HANG THE BOOKSHELVES IN THE NURSERY? I feel like I am on crazy pills. Also, I had Cheerios with cinnamon and chocolate chips for breakfast this morning. It was like abuelita hot chocolate in cereal!
I think that 1st trimester exhaustion has all of a sudden come back to me. ::sigh::
Me too! This week I have 6/8 classes cancelled because my professors are on vacation or are at the state Dietitian meeting. You'd think I'd get caught up on homework/housework... nope. NAPS. So many naps. I'm in my bed for the greater portion of the day. (Love working part time, and going to school full time on weeks like this)
My 2.5yr DD decided she was too big for naps around the 2nd trimester In recent weeks I've turned to a movie every weekend (maybe 1 each sat & sun) so I can rest while she's occupied

I keep ping ponging back and forth between crazy excitement/anticipation/impatience to meet him and pure terror. Ha!
My shower isn't until the 9th, and im getting way to anxious causr I want to know what else we need to buy. Plus I just want to have everything already lol.
Add me to the excited and also terrified group. I'm avoiding looking at how many days exactly I have left. And every time I read about someone being excited about getting the gear they need, I think, aw, me too, then it hits me how much I still have to get/need to do, and I just want to flop over and eat cookies.
Note to self: go pick up cookies. Oh wait, I just had a better idea and will go get a cookie at pret right now.

We've been trying to cut back our spending on luxuries in order to save up for all the baby stuff. Pedicures are one of those luxuries. I was looking at my feet this morning and they are a mess, so genius that I am, I decided to try and tackle the problem myself. Big mistake. My feet look worse now then they did before. Red nail polish + not really being able to reach your feet = foot massacre. Looks like it's time to say screw it and let the professionals handle it. I am sure I will be getting some funny looks at the nail salon considering I no longer have the energy to remove the heinous looking polish.
3/4 of the way there and feeling like "HOLY WHOA"... but almost all of you are ahead of me, so that makes me feel better. But, still... 10 weeks to get everything done?! It's doable, but I am nowhere near ready! I don't even have a single diaper or wipes yet!
I bought a box of wipes I found at Big Lots, and I've gotten a few diaper samples, but other than that we're in the same boat!! I think I'm a week ahead of you too! I have a baby shower this weekend, so I am hoping to get some things we need, but if not I'll start buying things after this weekend. Is anyone throwing you a shower?

Yes! I actually woke up with a little energy, but it was gone by 9:30. I want to sleep now!
Another baby! I am so happy that (knock on wood) our D14 babies have been happy and healthy. I am so emotional these past few days about our LO's arriving!
I'm 33 weeks, but I will be induced at 39 weeks if LO hasn't come before then. I literally have 6 weeks or less until Baby Q's arrival. Shit's getting real!

I can't believe we have another baby! When I see the pictures they post I'm in awe. "THAT is inside of me right now??" Last I remember she was just a little blueberry.
Edit to add: And I'm SO happy to see they are all doing well. Keeps me positive.
My 2.5yr DD decided she was too big for naps around the 2nd trimester In recent weeks I've turned to a movie every weekend (maybe 1 each sat & sun) so I can rest while she's occupied
My Mom used to do this when we were kids. She called it "quiet time". She would pop a VHS in for us and then she would go nap or catch up on school work because she was doing her Masters degree at the time.

I consol myself with the fact she doesn't watch tv during the week, and a mommy whose napped is better than a non-nap mommy lol

It's true. You do what you gotta do!

I don't know how many times my mom would buy me Wendy's and put in Barbie and the Rockers: Out of This World (when she has her concert in outerspace). I remember her sleeping or doing little things in the background. But I was quiet, except when I would sing along with Barbie. Mom's are sneaky.
MCM, I lurked my registry up until the night before my shower and then ended up getting even more than I had seen...people shop on the way to the shower apparently.
I'm guilty of this for everything. Showers and birthday parties. I'm such a procrastinator!
So it has come to my attention that Channing Tatum and other sexies are going to be in Myrtle Beach in 2 weeks to film Magic Mike 2. Anyone want to band together and form a stalking party??

OMG guys some of the girls from my other BMB have sent me baby gifts. Its so so nice of them. I was so opposed to a second shower or sprinkle or anything and have told everyone that I have literally everything, but its so nice people still sent me stuff from the kindness of their heart. There are decent people on TB and in this world. :x

Possibly flammable confession:
I am a teensy bit envious of those who are having showers or sprinkles thrown for them. I know I'm not entitled to one as a STM, but if someone insisted on throwing one for me, I would be really touched and happy. And would totally accept.

@MissChristineMarie I FEEL LIKE I DONT KNOW YOU ANYMORE!
first cheese curds. Now channing
I've never had cheese curds! They just sound nasty... But then I saw a picture of them and actually thought, "that looks good".
There is hope for me yet! ;-)
Did you know cheese curds are a gateway cheese to thinking Channing Tatum is hot?
@bvsbabymomma my dad is an usher for celebrities at huge events that happen in Las Vegas. My dad ushered her backstage before she had to go on and they started talking, they exchanged numbers, she kissed him and they went on a date a couple days later before she left town. My dad stopped talking to her after that date lol.
This is one of my favorite 30 Rock references so I had to give it some love, but I agree with @MissChristineMarie on channing Tatum. I did think he was pretty funny in 21 jump street, though.

Fun story at least!
I agree. My dad gets to meet a lot of cool celebrities at his job. I get to hear the stories all the time. He loves to tell me who is really an asshole in real life. He also stays in touch with a few. I live vicariously through my dad's stories. Hoping that one of these days I'll actually be in Vegas during a big show so he can get me in as a seat filler and introduce me to the celebrities he is working with for the night.
