Re: Happy Solstice - Sunday Random
I enter the third trimester today...say what?! I know things will go faster from here out...but I have a ton to do!
My random is that today is my family's Christmas party. I am hoping for good food and a relaxing time- there will be 14 of us in a small area so we'll see how that works out
I had planned to make some sugar cookies to take but haven't done it yet, so we'll also see if that happens. Right now the outlook is not good because my bed is SUPER comfortable
My dd has this terrible cough and poor thing couldn't stay asleep last night. Which meant we didn't get much sleep either. Thank god for soothing syrup for toddlers because that got the coughing to stop.
Been MIA the last few days, we drove up to Ohio (11 hours) on Friday to spend Christmas week with our family...my back is still recovering from the drive, ugh. We are here until Saturday and I'm already tired and ready to go home!
MIL is throwing us a little family baby shower today so that should be fun. I haven't seen a lot of DH's cousins since we moved to Georgia two years ago so I'm looking forward to seeing them all!

@mangomimosa You captured exactly how I am feeling. I feel like being pregnant was something I thought about growing up (even shoving pillows up my shirt with my sisters when we played house)...now that I'm 27 weeks I have to sit and think about how really real this is.
A bit of a long random for me, so apologies in advance...but H and I successfully hosted his parents at our house and survived the 13 hour drive from there to his grandparent's place. Although my back and legs are screaming at me.
What I wanted to share though, since @janda426 has been my overbearing MIL mentor, is that we picked out the exact crib we wanted for her to buy. She told us it was lovely. Then, last night after we arrived at Grandma's, I irritated her. When asked about names, I told everyone we had narrowed it down to two names but are waiting to meet our baby girl to decide which suits her best. And we're keeping those two names between us. She got snippy and told H's cousin who's in college she should start thinking about the things now so she's not like me. And then told his Grandma that the crib I picked out looks like a hospital bed from the 60s.
H pulled me aside and told me he still loves our crib, ignore her. And he still likes our "statement" about names. We are a team and that's our response. It made me sooo happy.
She can be as nasty and crazy as she wants, but I have my H and we're a team.
I wasn't planning to have to do any errands today, but now I/we have to pick up last minute gifts for H's Aunt and Uncle whom apparently got us each something this year (but usually never do). I'm going to run to laundromat, then downtown and hopefully home by noon to get the bird in the oven.
We got the carpet torn out of the nursery and the first coat of paint slapped on last night. The room already looks much brighter and prettier. The carpet was 20 years old at least. As was the old paint. When we took off the molding we saw that the wall had previously been painted in mauve stripes. Not sure what those folks were thinking, considering they also had a green vinyl floor.
So now we need a second coat of paint, and then I'll do the trim, and then we'll lay the flooring after Christmas and I'll be able to start nesting! Feeling very excited about this.
And I managed to get all but two christmas gifts purchased yesterday. So that's another load off my mind.
Experiencing pregnancy and having a child is something I have wanted my whole life, but it's so close and I'm freaking out a bit!

IT'S A BOY!!!!!!
Also.. Add me to the "this is really happening" phase. I absolutely cannot wrap my head around the fact we're going to have two children.
AFM, got my first Charlie horse in my calf this morning around 4 am. Awesome. I'm still sore and while I have a ton of shit to do, I'm fully intending to sit on the couch and do nothing while DD naps.
I'm hitting third trimester today too...only 13 weeks to go and time is flying! I'm with you guys on it not quite being real though...every time I see someone with a newborn I try to picture us with her and I just can't do it! Just too surreal.
I just took a two hour nap on my IL'a couch after waking up per my new normal at 4 this morning and not going back to sleep. It was glorious. I haven't taken a nap in probably five months!

Also, I am so sore and uncomfortable. We are trying to get so much done this weekend, because we have family coming Tuesday, and then basically we have guests for the next month. We have 2 breaks of a few days to a week, but that's it. But I do anything and it just hurts. I can't wait until it is done and people are here and I can hopefully relax while they help out.
@katydid2014 glad you got your dress from your H! I know you were really wanting it! And props to you for doing all that reading so far. I really need to do some of that.
@mangomimosa I have an A&A problem too. I have way too many on our registry. I even have the changing pad covers and bibs on there too. But I love those damn blankets. It's my go to baby gift when I go to a shower, and my friends with babies just love them. Even if they won't swaddle in them, you can still use them.

@chilibeansm0m
Yeah makes sense about the staring. They probably don't notice they're doing it, but it sure does make me feel uncomfortable! I'll try not to take it personally
