I try to make the title pop a bit. "Weekly" pops up a lot, visually.

I caved and am letting my son watch the chipmunks movie. He loves it, I have regrets. Jason Lee is just so terrible. It's like he's trying to be Bruce Campbell campy lovable and coming off creepy overexcited uncle.

Shaved my legs which immediately caused a 4lb weight loss.

ShallowSeas · May 2016

I'm on 2-3 hour feedings like an infant. My appetite is outta control.

AdmiralKitty · May 2016

Me too @ShallowSeas ! I get soooo cranky if I go 2 hours without a snack.

banfrog · May 2016

@HomeyDontPlayThat I love Bruce Campbell! Ha ha, I totally just focused on the mention of Bruce Campbell in your post. I didn't like the chipmunk movie either and thankfully the kids don't care for it, so the DVD might get conveniently 'lost'.

ShallowSeas · May 2016

@AdmiralKitty
its the worst! I just had a snack at 9:30 and my stomach is growling like I haven't eaten all morning

kittiesandcoffee · May 2016

I shaved my legs too last night and washed my sheets. Getting into bed was heavenly and dh had duty last night so the whole king bed was mine.

Also, baby woke me up at 5 am with an intense craving for an orange. So damnit, an orange I ate!

NatashaSprout · May 2016

@NavyBride93 DH and I both work 24 hour shifts and though we miss each other a lot...when the bed is mine...oh heavenly!!!

AlexLindzz · May 2016

@shallowseas totally me too. I literally just told my mom that yesterday - I feel like a newborn that has to eat every 2 hours or I feel sick.

AlexLindzz · May 2016

Monday's suck but I seriously can't wait for that 12 week appointment this Thursday. I feel like it can all finally start to get real after that.

LikeICantEven · May 2016

Oh, also, I FINALLY cleaned out and organized the nursery! I have so many totes of toys to donate or sell. It took all day yesterday and I even started on my own closet. It felt so good to be so active after being so sick with MS the last 6 weeks. I am a badass cleaner and organizer of junk.

My NT scan is today, I'm so excited to see the baby. I had a dream last night that I was at the NT scan and the tech pipes up and says, "ohhhh it's a little boy!" and I'm all, "nuh uh, I'm only 12 weeks, you can't tell that!" and she's like, "yes huh, look." and zooms in on the penis. I was shocked. But so much happier than I thought. I always saw myself as a boy Mom and going through my son's old baby clothes yesterday made me all nostalgic. It's starting to really settle in.

Exactly! I love my husband dearly and miss him when he's gone, but I sleep so much better by myself. He snores horribly (deviated septum) and tries to encroach on me in his sleep and I am a freaking heater when I sleep so I really am not a fan of contact. I do love him though! Lol

Have you been watching Ash vs. Evil Dead on Starz?! I freaking love it, I was so against it at first but they are doing a great job I thought. Whatcha think?

@HomeyDontPlayThat No.

I want to so bad. Only have net and DH won't spring for netflicks, or hulu or anything like that. I might have to work on him though. He proposed to me while we were watching Evil Dead 2. lol

This is my situation! My husband has rotating shifts, and I know it hurts his feelings but I get the BEST sleep when he works nights.

I'm a pretty committed cuddler, but DH has been on nights for the last 2 years and I am now totally used to falling asleep alone and having our whole bed to myself! So lovely! I typically let our 3 year old sleep with me one night a week and she's actually a better snuggler than DH anyways - she doesn't steal the covers as much as he does!

KilgraveMadeMeDoIt · May 2016

Woohoo! I just got an L&D shift for June 14th! These are very hard to get at my school; they fill up super quickly but I guess someone cancelled. I just happened to be checking today and there was one opening so I took it.

grannysmith912 · May 2016

@NatashaSprout @NavyBride93 I've been putting off shaving my legs and/or trimming my lady bits for the last three weeks, because we're going out of town this week and staying in friends'/families' houses, which means there's a slim chance we'll be having any sexy time. If I'm going to go through the effort of de-hairing myself, I wanna get at least a month of good naked use out of it. Not sure if that logic really works, but I'm enjoying the excuse to relax in my beastly glory...

Thewizardofrhythm · May 2016

@NavyBride93 @NatashaSprout oh I hear you! We upgraded to a King a few years back. I'm telling you, I love him more now.
@grannysmith912 come over to the dark side of hairy mama! I'm telling you it's so much better. I am so not the typical hairy girl. I wear full make up everyday and I'm into looking good. But I have no energy for that bs. Hubs thinks it's totally hot now. I do shave my legs though. So I guess I'm not completely hard core.

My my son has been napping a bit longer these days and I'm loving it. I just slept for 1 1/2 hrs and he is still going. I'm hoping for a 3 HR over here so I can re watch got.

whitneyf1 · May 2016

I am so irritable I don't know how I'm going to make it through the next 6 weeks of school. This year can't be over soon enough and to make it worse, it's my last year teaching before I go to work part-time with DH at his family business so time is moving even slower.

Also, I try my hardest not to shave my legs. My legs are usually dry and being pregnant, they've gotten even worse. Shaving my legs irritates them even more and I scratch my legs until they're raw. I need to get better at moisturizing

DunkinDecaf · May 2016

@HomeyDontPlayThat did I miss something? Is it a boy for reals or just in your dream?

DunkinDecaf · May 2016

DD is sick, I feel like shit and it's rainy. It's a curious George on the couch day.

eta: There's no Campbell's chicken noodle soup in the house!! How could I have let this happen to me?!

DH wants to replace our sleep number bed with a water bed. I'm all about replacing the sleep number because I hate it but I'm not too sure about a water bed. Why can't we just have a regular pillow top?

aquasocks · May 2016

I want to jump for joy right now. We have some gorgeous palm trees and I thought they were diseased. I had a guy come quote me for removal (they could fall on my house) and it would cost like $2500+ just to remove them. If I wanted to replace them with similar trees, we are talking thousands and possibly tens of thousands if I wanted the same species and height. Well someone came and looked at them today and said that they are going to live!!!!! I'm getting a second opinion but I was literally in tears looking at my trees thinking they were going to die. I want to pay the guy who told me the good news even though he didn't actually do anything.

I'm just being a psycho. Just in my dream.

shevaCC · May 2016

@roxell, we got a king-sized memory foam mattress from Amazon 2 years ago for ~$400. Their normal free delivery and everything. I convinced my DH to try it out since all the beds we checked out in stores were $1K+ so if this bed lasted even 4 years we would be in decent shape. 2 years in and it's one of my best Amazon purchases.

muybueno · May 2016

I love the pastors at my church- they rock. I mentioned on Sunday that DH was out of town and how it's too bad because our downstairs toilet is on the fritz and I have no idea how to fix it. A couple of days later, one of the pastors texts me to ask if he can come over and fix the toilet. An hour later, he's covered in toilet water but the darn thing is fixed- he bought a new part and everything. He saved us $250 in plumber's fees. I am so touched.

I cannot recommend Tuft & Needle enough. I love my mattress so much that you would think I work for them (I don't for the record). DH and I could never agree on any mattress - I like softer, he likes firmer, I run warm, he runs cold, etc. - but this mattress is some miracle that is perfect for both of us. Also, you get to try it for 100 nights and if you don't want it, they'll come pick it up and you get a full refund. Really there is no downside.

Roxell · May 2016

@shevaCC I would Love a memory foam. We bought one for our DD and I think it's the best! My DH sweats so much I just can't see us getting one for ourselves though. I totally plan on getting our next bed from Amazon though, I love Amazon!

Roxell · May 2016

@jrussell16 I have never heard of a tuft & needle bed, I will have to look into it.

Also look into Casper. We love ours so much we bought a second for the guest bedroom. My husband is a space heater, but the materials they use for the foam are different than most other foam mattresses. We haven't had any issue with heat, even though I'm running hot now, too. We've had ours for nearly two years and it's awesome.

ETA: they do a one-month trial (or maybe 100 days? Something good.) and will come get it if it doesn't work for you.

msu_gal · May 2016

Totally excited to see people outside of Phoenix talking about Tuft & Needle! Such a great company with a quality product trying to do the right thing.

PurpleBrunette · May 2016

I have been researching Casper and trying to decide if we want to try it out or not.

Just in the dream. I'm being a freakshow about the sex. I'm convinced it's a girl, then the dream happened.

So our NT scan went beautifully! I'm so pumped. Everything looks perfect, right on track. Baby was wiggling around, stretched an arm out and curled their wrist. Tech said they were long limbed like their Mom and Dad :-D
DS was the same. Did my Progenity bloodwork, should know results in 1-2 weeks.

On a side note, I felt the baby move last night and had a heart attack over it. I didn't even second guess it because it felt exactly like it did with my son. I lucked out with a posterior placenta last time, confirmed today that it's posterior again, so I'm super happy I'm not insane. I felt them again this morning when I was Bumping, made me laugh. I missed the sensation so much, it's making me connect with the baby a lot more now. Before I just mentally glared at them for making me so sick. Glad that noise is over but it's strange to be at this point already!

jstinkz · May 2016

I totally agree with all the Casper and tuft and needle comments. We actually went with a Leesa but it's along the same lines. Go to sleepopolis.com it's a great mattress review site and really breaks down the whole mattress buying process.

On a whole different note I got a tube in my ear today and I can hear!!! Holy amazingness. Just traffic sounds soooo loud. Has anyone gotten a tube while being an adult?! I didn't even know it was a thing until recently.

mrsjlang · May 2016

We went to Ikea today for part hangers. Only pant hangers. We came out with those as well as a picture to bang in the baby room and other itty-bitty things. Never fails.

Also...shaved my legs this morning so I could wear a shorter skirt and I swear I lost at least a couple pounds. Chewbacca's half sister here, I swear.
