I get to meet two babies this weekend born to two different friends! The best. Can't wait to snuggle them!

BayCamp · June 2017

I moved all my non-maternity clothes to our guest closet and hung up all my maternity/more forgiving clothes. Also got all of our laundry put away which hasn't happened in months. DH puts his away once a week along with all of our towels and sheets but DS and I pretty much live out of our clean hampers in the laundry room.

We also also got the whole house vacuumed, swept, and dusted and just generally straightened up. I'm exhausted but feel so accomplished.

Reorganized the kids clothes today and am getting ready to offload all of DS's clothes and shoes(except sentimental things) as soon as I have visual confirmation on Tuesday that Charlotte is a girl. I know it sounds weird to be getting rid of things before she gets here - maybe tempting fate, but I'm just so ready to have some space back.

DuchessOfCambridge · June 2017

How have you been feeling @kschref?

I SO need to do this. I'm not really wearing any non-maternity clothes anymore, and yet that's what's hanging up. And I'm just picking the maternity stuff out of a box in my closet. Not a great system.

@DuchessOfCambridge - This week has been so rough, honestly. My cyst is so bad and I can feel a lot of movement this week - she is basically right on top of it. I really wish I could get her to wiggle over to the other side of my ute, but nothing has been working. I have my A/S on Tuesday, so I'll be talking to the doctor then about if there are any options for relief. It's hard to handle the kids physically and because my husband is injured, he can't do much with them either in terms of lifting. We're a pretty pathetic pair, but luckily my parents have been over a lot and his parents are flying out on Thursday for 2 weeks to help.

My husband is struggling since the wreck. He went and saw his doctor yesterday and she told him he should never have gone to work this week and his back isn't getting better. She's prescribed physical therapy and massages and told him to stop being so stoic and take the meds he was prescribed to help the swelling go down. We've been in "survival mode" 100% just trying to deal with insurance and pain and not be crap parents in the meantime - don't even ask me how many times my kids have watched the new Beauty and the Beast since we got it on Tuesday

. We got a check for DH's car and for the carseat that was in it and he's driving 2 hours tomorrow to buy a new car - he couldn't find exactly what he wanted in town. Luckily we found a great deal on a slightly used car (from August of last year) with only 14k miles on it. We're still waiting for the police officer to file his report so our insurance can have confirmation of the person who was at fault, but he is not back from vacation yet, so it's a waiting game at this point to get all of that paperwork wrapped up and to get all the medical bills that are coming in settled correctly.
He just messaged me and said that he has hired a sitter for tomorrow to come help me while he's away dealing with the car and she will stay late so we can go on a date. Just all the

for him.

DuchessOfCambridge · June 2017

@kschref I'm so sorry you guys are going through this all at the same time! A rough pregnancy sounds hard enough on its own, not to mention everything else you're dealing with on top of it. It's great your parents and your H's parents can help out, and so sweet he got a sitter to help you and let you two go on a date!

Also, new Beauty and the Beast marathon? You guys sound like the best parents!

ElizabethSchuyler · June 2017

@kschref Enjoy your date!

ElizabethSchuyler · June 2017

I decided I wanted to go to the beach for the weekend and we packed and got out the door in less than an hour. We brought everything we could bring but I'm really proud that we have been able to make last minute decisions and go for it. I stopped doing that when DS was born but it was a big part of my relationship with DH to just decide last minute and make an adventure.

So fun!! And it looks like a great beach weekend!

RiverSong15 · June 2017

@kschref Sorry for the rough week(s). I hope your DH and you both feel better soon, and that you enjoy your date!

@ElizabethSchuyler Have fun at the beach!

@BayCamp Yay for second tri productivity!

AFM: We finally got the results of our second sequential screen back (over 2 weeks after the draw), and everything came back normal and low risk! I feel like this whole baby thing may actually be happening for us this time!

NYTino24 · June 2017

@kschref Hope things improve soon!
@RiverSong15 I'm with you, lady, and feeling the same way! Glad you got good news.

AFM, I'm getting my AFP test done tomorrow morning and heading down to the beach for a bachelorette party. Hoping we mostly stay out of bars since they rented a beach house for the weekend and another girl is pregnant, too.

kaitlinliz · June 2017

My week has been really crappy but today my MIL came over and helped me clean a bit. She helped put away the clean clothes and we brought all the laundry (like a months worth) to my SILs and we did laundry there. Whatever wasn't done she brought home with her to have ready for me tomorrow! I hate asking her to help so I never do, I'm just thankful she dropped by unannounced and did it herself. She knows I'm struggling right now and decided not to say anything and just do. She can be very opinionated and says stuff not meaning to be mean but it can hurt so the fact that she didn't was a huge relief and I gave her the biggest hug. She really helped turn my weekend around since that's one less thing I now need to stress about.

baby3forme · June 2017

I cleaned out my car!! HUGE deal with two littles destroying the back on a daily basis. I still have to wash DD2s car seat cover though because it is disgusting.

kaitieb14 · June 2017

I SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT LAST NIGHT!!!! I've been getting like 4 hours maybe every night from discomfort, sickness, allergies, etc. and last night we finally bought Benadryl and I actually slept from 9:30 until 8!

amber0529 · June 2017

@kaitieb14 I was thinking about Benadryl last night after what felt like the 50th time I woke up due to discomfort and the dogs. Benadryl knocks me out so maybe I won't hear my dogs...

DuchessOfCambridge · June 2017

About to head out to a brunch to meet the first baby of the weekend. I AM SO EXCITED.

am+mommy · June 2017

My best friend is getting married today!!!! I am so happy for her and I am so excited....for her and but really also for her seasonal pie display for dessert. Sorry not sorry...

cottingham3 · June 2017

The Gulf of Mexico, y'all!

jess0211 · June 2017

I've been at the beach since 9am today! Loving it.

amber0529 · June 2017

I left work at 5:00!!! I practically ran out the door when my supervisor didn't tell me to go help anyone else. I can't even remember the last time I made it home in time to have dinner with my family!

MaximumEffort · June 2017

Had a successful busy day. T-ball then weeding and went to a birthday party where there was another pregnant lady who is 1 day ahead of me. Made me feel good to see we were showing about me the same.

BayCamp · June 2017

Today is DH's birthday so DS and I made him a chocolate lasagna (or Oreo delight as I like to call it)

my win is that I succeeded in making a 5 layer dessert with a 2 year old's "help" and already got my kitchen cleaned! Each layer has to chill for awhile so it's been a long morning fending off little fingers.

BayCamp · June 2017

Oh how could I forget the other big win, today I'm 20 weeks!!! Halfway there!!!!!!!

ariasbabyblog · June 2017

DH and I are doing a major clean out of the house and garage, 4 hours once a week with the kids at grandma's. We are making very good progress! I also swapped out my non-maternity clothes and sorted through the boy's clothes and swapped out the seasonal clothing. Everyone has had lunch and no one is bleeding. Woo!

am+mommy · June 2017

Congrats @BayCamp

Congrats @BayCamp

It's crazy we're getting to the point of halfway. I know I'm one the earliest due dates on this BMB, but still!

bcashaw · June 2017

@baycamp hooray! I'm so happy for you!

I'm so excited because I have confirmed all of our family members for our alphabet wall in the nursery, they all know their letter and the size that they have to stay within. I'm so excited to see what everybody comes up with!

KLink15 · June 2017

My cousin had a garage sale this weekend and had her mom text me to let me know when I got there she basically dug out every gender neutral item she had put in in a bag and said it was mine as well as a carrier and a baby bath. They were only having it to clear out space as they won't be having more kids and she said she would rather give it to me than pack it away. So 5 Target bags later I have a whole lot of plain onsies and such haha

jess0211 · June 2017

Guys look what DH bought for LO on vaca! Had a great vaca so sad it's over tomorrow.

msulauren11 · June 2017

Cleaned the nursery. Got some more name ideas. It was a nice busy weekend.

DuchessOfCambridge · June 2017

Aw @BayCamp I saw you'd been approaching 20 weeks and meant to start a thread before then, rats. But it's up now! Congrats!!

cmessamore · June 2017

Saturday, I survived DS1 playing two playoff baseball games (won one/lost one) and Step-DS playing in a baseball game. Plus baked two batches of brownies and a batch of cupcakes in ice cream cones. And even squeezed in a pedicure with a friend! Today, all 7 of us were in a parade in our town and we were a part of two floats and they both won awards. It was a really fun day.

NYTino24 · June 2017

@jess0211 My sister teaches there! Nice beach.

DuchessOfCambridge · June 2017

I'm wearing a skirt today that didn't used to fit me. It's supposed to sit at my waist but would fall to my hips and was annoying. Thanks to this little baby bump, it fits perfectly now and hides my bump nicely at work!
