Sassy Saturday Spam

Good morning ladies. Geeez this board has been molasses slow-- hope everyone is reveling in the holidays and enjoying some quiet time!

So-- here are a few questions for you all:

1. If you drink, what is the first adult beverage you are planning on having post birth?
2. Have you seen any good movies lately?
3. What have you already stocked up on for postpartum? (See the pp thread too if you haven't!)

Have a fantabulous Saturday!

Re: Sassy Saturday Spam

  • My plan for today is to get some organizing done in our bedroom and get the closet taken care of.

    1. I'm thinking a margarita sounds amazeballs!
    2. We saw Unbroken last night- super intense and lead to some crazy dreams for me.
    3. Nothing yet- but the tucks pads and some extra comfy clothes for the first few days at home are going to be my first purchases.

  • I'm more of a lurker, but thought I'd participate in this one... I'm set for a RCS with dd on Feb 7 th!

    1. I told SIL it was her job to bring me a drink after the hospital Lol! Anything fruity with rum will do!

    2. Nothing lately, but DH and I might go tonight to see Into The Woods

    3. So far just some comfy pajamas. I'm going to get a new pair of slippers next week and put those aside

  • Nesting has started to set in and I can't stand the clutter that has accumulated in the house since our wedding last January. It is so hard to consolidate two houses into one. We are organizing our bedroom today and getting it ready for baby!

    1. I REALLY miss my red wine! I have a bottle that my husband brought back from Australia in July waiting for me.

    2. We went to see Mockingjay the other day with the kids. I loved it but I'm a young adult lit junkie.

    3. I haven't done a damn thing to get ready for the hospital or PP. I guess after this clean kick is over I will start on that.
  • Having a relaxing day after a bit of chaos yesterday.  DH's family came back with us to our house which was just way to many people since we only have 3 usable rooms, one of which had to get shut off for the cat to hang out in while they had their dog here. His family also yells alot, especially his Dad and sister.  Their default volume to each other is set very loud.

    1. If you drink, what is the first adult beverage you are planning on having post birth?  Probably champagne. Although most alcohol smells really bad to me right now, so we'll see if the aversion goes away once LO is out. 

    2. Have you seen any good movies lately? Hunger games a few weeks ago.  So good. We also watched the interview at the inlaws on Xmas day.  Its terrible, worse then I expected, and my expectations were pretty low.  I think it would have helped if I could drink alot before and during. 
    3. What have you already stocked up on for postpartum? (See the pp thread too if you haven't!)  pretty much nothing! Floors are getting redone starting today, so starting Monday or Tuesday we'll start moving upstairs.  Next weekend is going to be big shopping weekend to start getting that stuff. 
  • We're headed to town today for some socializing and fruit purchasing. Not too much else going on, although I'm not feeling 100%, but I think that's just the thing at the moment.

    1. I have yet to decide on first drink. We have some nice scotches that are contenders and ports. It will probably depend on my mood.

    2. I think the last movie I saw in theatres was Book of Life. We only get them for about a week and I've not really been on top of the upcoming schedule.

    3. I've got some pads and a pair of black fleece pants. I'll probably pack the weekend DH is off island since that way I can keep busy. Fun thing here: the hospital may not have a lot of pp supplies if the container ships haven't come in, so I have to be extra thorough wheb it comes to planning.

  • Good morning. It just took me 15 minutes to change the sheets on our bed. Phew. We're about to head out for our hospital tour, so shit is getting real.

    Anyway:

    1. I have the occasional beer, so it won't be my first in a long time. However, on the liquor front, I really want a rum and Coke after the baby arrives. I know @BeckyP005 is with me on that choice.
    2. I saw "Smoke Signals" last night. It's an older movie, based on a Sherman Alexie short story (screenplay also written by Alexie), but it was pretty damn good.
    3. Nothing stocked up yet. Maybe the hospital visit will jar me into action.


    Awaiting our bundle of cute chaos.

  • Agreed, it has been very slow lately!

    1. If you drink, what is the first adult beverage you are planning on having post birth? Definitely a margarita with salt on the rocks. I can't wait!!!


    2. Have you seen any good movies lately? I saw the hobbit 3 the other week and loved it! I am so excited to see Into the Woods (one of my favorite productions ever) and Unbroken (without a doubt the most amazing story I have ever heard/ book I have ever read)


    3. What have you already stocked up on for postpartum? (See the pp thread too if you haven't!) Eh, really nothing :( I'm slacking! My mom got me some nursing clothes which is awesome, but I need another pair of yoga pants for the hospital.  I only have 2 at home and with the amount of sneeze peeing going on that's been happening, it is never guarenteed that either pair will be clean enough to pack for the hospital and I definitely can't afford to keep one of the two pairs packed away in a bag for a few weeks!

    Mom is up visiting DH and me. Got some fun Christmas presents!

    1. I told DH to have a bottle of my fav Moscato on ice when I give birth! We also have some Bailey's.

    2. I haven't been to the movies since May when we saw the new X-men

    3. I have nothing but am creating a list of stuff to get.

  • DH made breakfast today! Yummy!! DD is pouting because he used all the bacon in the tacos. Sigh... One step forward, 2 steps back in merging families.

    1. If you drink, what is the first adult beverage you are planning on having post birth? A margarita, a rum and coke, or a glass of wine.

    2. Have you seen any good movies lately? I honestly can't remember the last movie we went to.

    3. What have you already stocked up on for postpartum? (See the pp thread too if you haven't!) just a few nursing bras and pads. Got my hospital bag and LO's bag packed. Sad to say I'm more prepared with baby 3 than I ever was with DD & DS.
  • Question one is killing me because there are soooo many amazing choices.... But I think a good bottle of red wine will get it done.

    2) we streamed the interview on Christmas and I thought it was very funny (though I think with all the hype people are just wanting/expecting it to be something it's not) and last night we saw the Hobbit, which was fun and wraps up the series nicely but theatre chairs for three hours is more than my hips and lower back want to handle!

    3) we haven't had our shower yet and I only got off my big actuvity restriction (holy atrophied muscles, Batman!) so we are waaaaaay behind on this.
  • 1.  I've been indulging in a small glass of wine here and there, but my first post-delivery drink (probably at the birth center) will be a full glass of Coppola Rosso.  Then I'll start into my PP case of beer.  DH has saved me a variety of seasonal and other beers over the course of pregnancy so that I can enjoy them after delivery, so even though I couldn't drink the summer/fall/winter beers when they were actually available, I'll still get to have some. :)

    2.  The last movie I saw in a theater was Mockingjay, which was awesome.  We don't go to the movies much though.

    3.  I have pads, Tucks, Dermoplast, an extra peri bottle (so I'll have one for each bathroom), yoga pants (though I need to get another pair), nursing tanks, nursing pads.. I need to get some lanolin and actually pack my bag, but won't need to pack much since we'll be home pretty quickly after.

  • Good afternoon ladies!

    Finally slept some last night after a few restless evenings, woke up feeling MUCH better. I did start waking up completely drenched in sweat though, so that's a new one for me. It was so bad the first night I legitimately thought my water broke. Ugh. Been getting more and more Braxton hicks lately, I think I'm just pushing myself too hard. Trying to take a little more me time to relax before LO arrives.


    1. I have been wanting a glass of wine so bad lately! And my husband has had some really delicious smelling beers I've been dying to try
    2. No good movies lately, been too busy with the holidays and work. One of these days I'd like to go see into the woods
    3. I bought some new pajamas, a robe and slippers... still need to buy pads and all of that fun stuff but I think I'm still in denial how NOT fun it's going to be.

  • Morning ladies!

    1. A blue moon sounds amazing right now. Sounds gross but, I would really love to have one of those good beer burps right now. Burping with pregnancy heartburn is getting old.

    2. Not a big new movie person but, I used my vacation day yesterday to sit on the couch and watch John Wayne and Clint Eastwood western movies on AMC all day yesterday. It was glorious.

    3. I think I am the most unprepared pregnant woman right now. Nursery is not done. My bags are not packed and I don't have supplies at this point. My family shower is not for another two weeks and I don't want to go buy a bunch of stuff yet. All I know is that we have the car seat ready to take our little boy home.

  • I've been in bed all morning. We finally bought a TV for our bedroom (our Xmas present) and its a smart TV so we got Netflix for the first time. Omg have I been missing out. Totally binge watching many of my fave shows!! Plus I slept like crap, so it's nice to relax.

    1. I have 4 bottles of wine from Napa waiting for me. I had the trip planned before I found out, so when I was 8 weeks I went. I stocked up.

    2. Last movie I saw was Elf, I showed it to my students before break.

    3. I haven't stocked up on anything. I still have to wait for my shower... It's in a week.

  • Happy Saturday everyone!

    1. I love prosecco, but I'm going to have to say I'm going to drink a few *consecutive* Dogfish Head Namaste beers. My parents toured the factory a few weeks ago and DH got a six pack as part of his Christmas gift and I had a few sips.... YUMMY.

    2. The Interview (which I thought was hilarious), Horrible Bosses 2, and St. Vincent.

    3. I got tuck pads with witch hazel arriving from Amazon this week along with nipple cream, nipple soothing gel pads, and a bunch more breast pump 'accessories' and cleaning supplies. I still need to stock up on pads and I'm ready. I think.

  • Good morning ladies.

    Hoping I'll be around more with the holidays ending.

    1.I'm not much of a drinker but I really want a red beer. Haven't had one in what seems like forever.

    2. As far as good movies go I wouldn't say I've watched something recently that I would actually suggest to someone to seek out and watch. The last movie we saw in theatres was Annabelle.

    3.I Have stocked up on pads, I got some tucks witch hazel pads, preparation H, I also bought some freezing spray. On the boob front I've bought two nursing bras, nursing pads, and some nipple cream. I went with palmers nipple butter because my mother always claims all of us are allergic to wool so I didn't want to take a chance with the lanisoh brand.

  • Good afternoon ladies! 

    DH and I have been playing "guess the body part" with the LO when something is poking out. We felt what we think is a foot the other morning for the first time and that was really exciting. :)

    1. If you drink, what is the first adult beverage you are planning on having post birth? 
    BEER!! I LOVE beer and miss it so much. Specifically, I would like a Dead Guy Ale by Rogue Brewing. 

    2. Have you seen any good movies lately? DH and I are headed out in a few minutes to see Into the Woods, so I hope it is good. 

    3. What have you already stocked up on for postpartum? (See the pp thread too if you haven't!) I tried to get all this shopping out of the way early so I don't have to deal with people at walmart since I am starting to feel more and more run down. I have pads, tucks, epsom salts, some new pjs (thanks mom!), and a comfy blanket for the hospital. Probably more I can't think of that we recently purchased, my brain just doesn't want to cooperate at the moment.

  • Crazy day. I did a lot of cleaning and my sisters house was broken into. That problem is solved though so now I'm debating on what I want for dinner and relaxing during nap time.

    1) I'll probably have whatever er have in the house which will most likely be a nice beer.

    2) I watched The Interview on Christmas Eve and thought that was funny.

    3) I haven't gotten any post partum supplies. I'll stick up towards the end of January and send DH out for anything I may still need.

  • 1 -- not a drinker but I would guess something frozen.

    2-- we went to see the imitation game last night. It was amazingly good and to think no one knew what they did for 50 years.

    3 -- just ordered two bras from bravado since I have giant girls already and NONE of the ones at motherhood did anything. I have some pass from before preg so that's about it.

  • 1. If you drink, what is the first adult beverage you are planning on having post birth?
    I don't really drink but something frozen and fruity sounds good.

    2. Have you seen any good movies lately?
    I cannot remember the last time I went to a movie. I'm too cheap to pay a babysitter and not talk to my husband when we can rent it in a few months.

    3. What have you already stocked up on for postpartum? (See the pp thread too if you haven't!)
    I really need to get on this. I have nothing. Kiddo doesn't even have a crib. I think I'm in denial.
  • 1. Well I probably won't have anything till after I'm done breastfeeding but then again a glass of my favorite Riesling might just happen.

    2. My DH and I just seen Fury and St. Vincent. We loved loved Fury. Very intense.

    3. The only thing I have so far is some granny panties, slippers and some lighter pads. I plan on going shopping tomorrow to get everything else I really need. I have the list ready to go.
  • Happy Saturday! My sister and best friend both got engaged last night!!! Only met my sisters fiance twice but I guess im happy..lol

    1. Beer beer and more beer..def a blue moon first. I had half a glass of coors light on Christmas and it was glorious!

    2.nothing recently but I wanna see American Sniper

    3. Didnt get anything except some nursing pjs/gown..plan on getting everything next week
  • Hi ladies! Holidays kept us so busy then I had work today and yesterday so I haven't been able to keep up with the bumping.

    1. Moscato, or a strawberry daiquiri. I'm not a big drinker, I don't like the taste haha
    2. The last movie I saw in theaters was Despicable Me 2 :( It's been forever 
    3. I have nothing. I keep making lists then changing my mind. I'm trying to wait until after my shower next month to buy because my family is super generous. I didn't even know I was getting a shower until DH accidentally spilled the beans so now I'm hesitant to purchase.

  • @krispy83‌ My husband gave me a gift certificate for a 90 minute prenatal massage for Christmas. I want to hold off until I have to go back to teaching in a little over a week and go have the massage after work, but I think I'm just going to treat myself and go next week.
  • @krispy83‌ my prenatal massage was such a let down-- it was relaxing but I wanted intense muscle relaxation and it didn't do it for me. Glad you had a great experience. Were you on the belly pillow or just on your side with pillows?

  • I used to wonder what people meant when they said they could feel the baby in their crotch. Not any more! Seriously, there was a moment today where I actually worried a little hand or foot was poking through my cervix. How can this go on another 8 weeks max?
    I think LO is in a growth spurt. My stomach is so tight and painful right now.

    Mobile bumping and I don't remember all the questions, but port will be my first post baby drink. Hopefully even TWO glasses.

    2. I cannot remember the last time we went to the movies. It was before DS :(  
    3. I ordered some sleep bras, cooling gel pads, nursing tops, and extra yoga pants yesterday. My next order is for nursing bras, nipple pads, and lanolin.

  • These are great questions, I loved reading everyones responses!

    1. If you drink, what is the first adult beverage you are planning on having post birth? 
    I've been craving eggnog and rum recently (probably because of the holidays), but since eggnog will probably be out of season by the time I deliver then a Dark & Stormy (ginger beer & spiced rum). 

    2. Have you seen any good movies lately? I wish! 

    3. What have you already stocked up on for postpartum? (I loved reading everyones responses to this question!) I have nipple cream (Mother's Love), new pjs, and nursing pads. I still have a few more things to get and then I'll be ready....I hope. 
  • 1. If you drink, what is the first adult beverage you are planning on having post birth?
    @nomnomasaur0426 I too want a mojito!! My favorite drink is the strawberry mojito made with Dragonberry Bacardi. I've made some for friends that were visiting recently but made myself one w/o alcohol. Not as good. 
    2. Have you seen any good movies lately? 
    Nope other than the recent Hairspray a million times. I love that movie. 
    3. What have you already stocked up on for postpartum? (See the pp thread too if you haven't!) 
    I think I have everything I need (unless there's something I realize I need while I'm recovering). I had already bought some comfortable tank tops and pj pants, as well as overnight pads. Yesterday I picked up tucks and dermaplast thanks to the pp thread.

  • Ladies who went to see Into the Woods tonight (I think there were a few....) how was it???
  • @krispy83‌ my prenatal massage was such a let down-- it was relaxing but I wanted intense muscle relaxation and it didn't do it for me. Glad you had a great experience. Were you on the belly pillow or just on your side with pillows?
    I had this experience during my pregnancy with DS.  I had one then that was just on my side with pillows and it was totally meh.  This one was on a belly pillow so she was able to really dig into my back and hips to ease some of my deep aches.

    @lotsofdotts, I actually got the gift certificate for this during my pregnancy with DS.  I got it for Christmas that year and decided to hold off until I was like 37w, figuring I'd be really uncomfortable and achy then.  Surprise, DS was born at 36w so I didn't get to use it!  So I decided this time to use it a little earlier lol!
