I can't stop looking at real estate listings for houses. All the ones I'm lusting after are listed for 3-4x what my apartment is appraised at and I'm poor and about to have a baby. But I want them, goddammit. Someone want to spot me a few hundo thou?
My strategy is to look at houses that are far, far out of my price range so that I don't actually seriously consider them. Like $1 million +, that way I don't ever think it's really possible and I'm not so sad when I don't get it.

This is my life. I am so bad that I get an email every time a new house is listed in our town. It makes me wnat a lot more than we can afford. Which is nothing at this moment
Any good movies to see in the theater right now? My MIL is staying with us so DH and I are going to have a date night. I have no clue what any of the movies out right now are. The only one I recognize from a preview is "How to be single". It looks funny. Anybody see it? Any recommendations?

I generally get annoyed when I see Facebook posts that say things about husband's being their wives biggest child...
and then I wake up at 2am to pee and mine is running around our apartment with a virtual reality helmet he got with his new phone and trying to convince me, in my half slumber, to put it on. I am reminded of this because he just text me to see if I was coming home during lunch so I could try on his helmet. Now I get it. I married an 8 year old.
Hahaha, this made me LOL. Sounds like something my H would do.
@hockeyfan42 I'm surprised that movie seems to be so well reviewed! I was interested but a bit weary about seeing it. Maybe I'll have to check it out now.
LADIES! My masseuse used a pillow that let me lay on my STOMACH! OMGosh. HEAVEN!!!!
Oh I remember those pillows from my last pregnancy! I was so huge by then (well into third tri) it didn't make a big difference, but I imagine right now they must feel amazing!!!
Re: real estate shopping. I bought my house 2+ years ago and plan to move only when my ancient, senile butt can't be alone here anymore. However I still peruse listings in our area. I look at the fancy ones and don't necessarily want them, but I seriously want to know what the hell so many people do to afford bazillion dollar homes. Are they all plastic surgeons or what? I'm just nosy.

Ha I know what you mean. I live right downtown by the beautiful river valley in my city, in a highrise apartment that is way overvalued because of its location/view. So my standard of living is not super high but we live right by all the really expensive neighborhoods and I always go running and for walks among all the million+ dollar houses and get a weird little thrill from watching the people there, haha. I just want to walk up to them and be like HOW IS THIS YOUR LIFE, TELL ME YOUR SECRETS

@shannonrnbsn Is this a thing that can be bought?!?!?!?! I feel like I need one!
It's like this but mine didn't have these strange boob holes. I laid on a regular pillow and just turned my head. It was seriously like how sleeping was four months ago for me. Side sleeping isn't horrible, but I'm a dedicated tummy sleeper by nature.
I feel like this thread is just ride with silent 'that's what she said' jokes today.
For the pillow, I take two very fluffy king size pillows laid vertically and one standard at the top to form a Pi symbol then lay on top with belly/boobs in the space between and have DH give a back massage. Works every time! Love it.

@shannonrnbsn I'm a dedicated tummy sleeper as well!
Now I want pie....
Also I think I mentioned that I asked H on a date to get fish and chips then frozen custard. Clearly the only important part of that is dessert. We went to dinner and shared a dip and a fish and chips meal. H also had a beer with it and after finishing his portion stated how stuffed he was. So I didn't bring up dessert again and he didn't offer to still go so now I'm angry. I know I should've just said I'm getting it anyways but I'm just going to sit here and feel sorry for myself #sorrynotsorry
I feel like my face is turning into a balloon. I'm avoiding mirrors. Hello, almost third trimester. However, I googled face fat/weight gain during pregnancy and some internet genius mentioned that it starts coming on for milk supply in third trimester. So, I'll go with that theory instead of justifying it to all the crap I have been eating.
I threatened H that if he didn't settle on a paint color tonight, the top of my head would pop off. So very rational, I know. So what did he do? He took me to Bruester's (ice cream place) to buy good will points for tonight's 2nd trip (!) to Home Depot for paint chips...after we went to Target and up and bought our crib bedding for matching purposes. I ate a ginormous mint chocolate chip waffle cone. His plan worked-- I got ice cream, the top of my head is intact, and we picked a color. Win.
So apparently Logan's uses gas grills to cook steaks...annnndddd thanks to my super sensitive taste buds, I can totally taste the difference. Totally ruined my night, went from happy to super angry/sad and now if I want to eat something (the fries btw were awful. I've had better fries from the grocery store), I have to get fast food b/c where we live, there are no nice "sit down" restaurants. And also, while I'm on the bitch train, I'm tired of seeing my H drink when I can't! (I know it's for a good cause, but try explaining that to my irrational side.) And when I tell H this, he says "sorry" then the next time we go out, he orders a beer again! Random rant over. *sigh*

I don't like Samoas, but for those of you who do...You are welcome lol

When googling, there are pillows with a boob valley, but this was the closest to what I had, so I used it.
and that pregnancy pillow for massages looks..... Weird? Yet comfortable.
