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
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.

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
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.
1. If you drink, what is the first adult beverage you are planning on having post birth? Probably a beer because they've been taunting me in the fridge this whole time... But it I could pick it would be a really good authentic MaiTai (summers in Maui spoil me so I'm a MaiTai snob)
2. Have you seen any good movies lately? We finally went to see Mockingjay but I think it was more the feeling of being out on a date on a Tuesday night for probably one of the last times ever that made it so awesome...
3. What have you already stocked up on for postpartum? (See the pp thread too if you haven't!) I did "boob shopping" last weekend in anticipation of my medela coming in the mail next week. I got a couple maternity bras (2 full cup bras and 1 wire-free loungey/sleep bra) to supplement with bras I have that will work, breast pads (1 box disposable and a pack of gel ones.. I'll buy more when I realize my preference), I got the Lansinoh 3-in-1 breast therapy ice/heat packs, nipple cream, extra membranes and storage bags for pumping.
The next trip will be for whooha shopping.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
January Siggy Challenge:
Being able to get out of bed on the first try
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
2. The last movie I saw in theaters was Despicable Me 2
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.

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.
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.
