    I had a cleaning company come to the house today for the first time and it's amazing. I'm on bedrest and having a clean house makes a huge difference!

    I am so happy you guys had such wonderful weekends! The both of you are just glowing ♡ 

    @LMNOBaby So I have to ask... did he finally surrender himself to your sexual appetite? ;) I've been rooting for you! Haha

    @annabenanna Medela Pump in Style Advanced Double Breast Pump. We're buying instead of renting because I'd like to pump as long as I possibly can this go around, and I would also like to keep the pump for future use. I'm not 100% positive we are DONE expanding our family yet. And if nothing else, I could offer if up to a mama in need later on =)

    @serenaxo84, sorry about the bedrest...but yay for the clean house!  I know what you mean, it DOES make a huge difference.  Last week, I was so fed up with a dirty house, that on Thursday evening, I vacuumed the entire house, changed all the sheets for all beds AND I mopped!  I was hurting after, but it was so worth it.  

    @AllyTheKid, That's the one I hope to get too!  Just hoping that DH's insurance covers it.  I'm waiting on our marriage cert to come in, so I can switch over to his insurance. :)

    @annabenanna LOL! FWIW- I have always found something unconventionally attractive about Rob Schneider haha
    My insurance doesn't cover that pump, but I've used the free hand helds, and ain't nobody got time for that... it's worth just buying. It's already in my Amazon cart!

    @LMNOBaby Twas Fate that brought that too-small shirt to your bust!

    @Piperella, your nephew is a cutie!!!  He gives me hope!  :)  

    @AllyTheKid, unconventionally attractive..... I don't even know what to say to you!  He's not attractive to me at all!  lol.  He's funny though. :)  And funny guys ARE attractive... so I guess I get you.  Kinda.

    @annabenanna I am a sucker for a sense of humor! It seriously adds like 3 bonus points on a 1-10 attractiveness scale. So if you're a 5 but you make me laugh, you'll get 8 treatment  :D

    @annabenanna Rob Schneider's daughter, Elle King, is pretty. I don't know what she is on her mother's side, though.

    @LMNOBaby Wow - what an amazing birthday! So, so sweet & special! Your H earned lots of points on that one!

    I'm in a better mood after reading everybody's post. I seriously was just scrolling through smiling when my co-worker walked by a min ago. And then laughing out loud at @annabenanna's rob schneider GIF! I am 100% confident that your baby is not going to look like rob schneider but you crack me up!

    @RainMira9e, are you trying to make me feel better by saying that I *may* have a cute grandkid in the future? :)

    @Kaessi, lol.  It's been one of my unfounded fears!

    @annabenanna that made me LOL. My husband is half Chinese and half Irish and I think he is gorgeous. However, I'm Native American and white and our DD looks ALL Irish, so you never really know how those genes are going to play out in the end. I keep joking that this baby is going to look nothing like her sister.

    @AllyTheKid I saw you said your insurance doesn't cover the medela pump in style but if they offer medela at all you might be able to get a discount or they might cover a portion of the pump. Also I feel like babies r us has them on sale a lot!

    that's how my insurance does @AllyTheKid ... I can get the one version they want to cover but can upgrade for a fee. What are your thoughts on things like the cooler pack and such? Would it be helpful to have? Or more of a waste because of size?

    @bnsmith85 I personally would go for the cooler pack and tote because I have been in a pumping-at-school situation where I really could have used them to keep my milk chilled... then again, you could always go the cheaper route in that regard and just buy a big lunchbox and regular coolers which would work just as well! I also would not spend a bunch of money on extra storage bags and bottles from Medela because the pumps themselves fit many other cheaper brand bottles and storage bags.

    Edit to add: Assuming the electric pump uses the same size bottles and bags as the hand pump, which I'm sure it does. I have a Medela single hand pump and that's what I'm basing my knowledge off of. Having a double electric sounds so amazing right now!

    oh... good idea on the off brand bottles @AllyTheKid... That's not exactly the sexiest gift so I have a feeling no one will be buying us the extra bottles and such from our registry. Which means we'll be taking care of that :)

    @bnsmith85 I was gifted some basic little cheap bottles from Walmart at my sprinkle last go around, and I used those along with the Medela ones that came with the pump. The hospital also gave me a few sets of storage bottles that fit the pump since LO was in NICU and they wanted me to pump whatever I could whenever I could, so it's worth asking your nurses about too, they are usually really good about loading you up with just about anything you could need :)

    I really hope I have super kind RN's when I deliver! I'm truly planning to rely on them to stock me up on so much. Mostly those mesh undies and giant pads lol @AllyTheKid

    @AllyTheKid the only season of AHS I liked was the first one. Hope you like them all. 

    As for my happiness ... it's been a whirlwind around our house. Since we found out I was BFP, we have been on a mission to get everything we wanted and needed to get done to the house. We redid our office, nursery and finishing up our remodeled basement. My Dad flew up from FL to do it for us and so far it came out amazing! Just need to paint and have the carpet installed. Then off to furniture shop! So happy it's almost all complete with time to relax until our little man arrives!

    This morning the local breakfast place made super fluffy awesome biscuits. DH texted me a picture and told me to come get some. Ate one there with some scrambled eggs and got to take the last 2 to go. I may have already eaten one of them.  :)

    (PS was anyone else put on a 3 day high carb diet before their 3 hour GTT?? I'm not complaining, but it seems so backwards...)
