Next appointments/milestones: Today I officially have 100 days left in this pregnancy! It seems like a lot, but then I was telling DH it was the last 100 days we'd have with just the 2 of us - and then it seemed pretty short! Next appt is next Tuesday for a regular check up and my glucose test.
Rant/rave: Mostly rants today. Rant #1: I'm tired of looking at daycares. I wish one of them was reasonably priced and felt like "the one". Rant #2: I'm not sleeping well. Rant #3: I know my SIL means well but she is very opinionated when it comes to what we "need" for the baby and won't let up until we agree with her. Like, tonight she was telling us how we "need" a click and go (or whatever they're called, the frame strollers that you snap a carseat into). We said, we're having the baby in the winter, there's a good chance it will snow a lot, we're not buying a stroller that is only useable for 6 months when the first 3-4 months we can't use it in the snow. We will baby carry or stay inside, or use the stroller that we bought with an adaptor for the car seat. She just couldn't let it go and brought it up 2 more separate times. I get that that worked for you, but you had your children in June and August. Our child is due in the Northeast in December. Yes, last winter was mild. The winter before it snowed every other day and a stroller would not have been maneuverable on the streets. I'd rather not waste $100. We can always buy it later if we change our minds.
Questions: Nothing
GTKY: If you could have one super power what would it be and why? To make myself invisible, so that I could spy on people and/or do whatever I wanted.
@penelope4612 100 DAYS?!! ahhhhhh you just made me freak out a little lol. I'm sorry that you're having trouble finding the right day care, hopefully one will pop up soon that fits your needs and I agree with rant #2 about sleep...if I could hibernate for the next 99 days I would!
Next appointments/milestones: September 6 for regular check and I think glucose
Rant/rave: Rant....within the last few days I've started to feel huge/definitely uber pregnant - Like a block into walking the dogs I start thinking of turning back, and every task seems daunting. Also I get a stitch in my side during the walk - I know it's probably just my muscles dealing with the baby's weight but UGH! Maybe I should look into getting a support band thingy?
Rave: Got a lot of stuff cleared out of the nursery and I made crib skirt and rail guards this week. I feel accomplished!
Questions: Above...are belly support things worth the money? Any suggestions to dealing with the stitch in my side?
GTKY: If you could have one super power what would it be and why? Teleportation. Traveling is SO expensive!
Next appointments/milestones: I had an OB appointment yesterday, all looks good! The next milestone will be viability at 24 weeks!
Rant/rave: Rant: Like @R0824H we're having trouble finding daycare. My mom is watching them in the mornings so we really just need something in the afternoon. The places we like have a wait list until spring of 2018 (insane!). We had someone lined up (a family friend) that was going to watch them from their home but that fell through so now we're back to looking again... Rave: we got the crib up and the room is starting to look and feel like a nursery!
Questions:
GTKY: If you could have one super power what would it be and why? Like @aevan011 I was going to say teleportation so I can travel anywhere I want at no cost. Also, you wouldn't need a whole week for a vacation. Got an evening off and want to go to dinner and Paris, you got it.

Married: August 2014 TTC since November 2015 BFP #1 12/17/15 - MC 1/28/16 BFP #2 4/22/16 - EDD 12/30/16
Next appointments/milestones: next Wednesday! I get another ultrasound since he didn't cooperate fully last time at the 20week A/S.
Rant/rave: rant- school started this week, back to waking up before the crack of dawn and packing my lunch and wearing real clothes, oh and dealing with delinquents (I teach at the discipline campus). rave- baby is movin' and a groovin' a lot more now. I had a freak out day last week when I didn't feel him at all but I think it was just a combination of stress and being tired from going back to work. I even see my belly move which is amazing and so weird at the same time! Also- we bought a crib, that's the only thing we've accomplished so far lol!
Questions: none
GTKY: If you could have one super power what would it be and why? To cure cancer. I don't know, would that be a super power? Because cancer sucks and needs to go!
Another month down and laters summer! I will not miss you!

Rant/rave: That moment when I pull up from work and the dog is in the front window dancing with excitement. He's the best! My rant is whiners at work, they make being busy almost unbearable.
Questions: Nothing this week!
GTKY: If you could have one super power what would it be and why? A filter for my mouth
