I'm spending my day off unpacking the remaining boxes from our home repair this year. I've got a lot done but the house is now a mess and it's hot as hell. Why didn't I spend the day watching Netflix and napping instead?!
I spent 30 minutes this morning reading through the boards on March 2017, wondering why I didn't recognize the posters and thinking I must have really missed a lot this weekend, before realizing totally not the right year. Lol. Pregnancy brain.
@notthefather Ugh, unpacking is the worst. I hope it goes quickly for you. Good luck! If all else fails, take a break, kick up you feet, and turn on Netflix
I accidentally called my SIL while looking for clothes for DH when they answered they heard me say "i got you a shirt" my BIL then calls my DH to let him know lol. Edit to remove what my stupid keyboard added as I posted lol.
DD born August 17, 2010 DS born October 13, 2014 Baby #3 due March 2018
We use MIL's p.o. box for online orders a lot. Today my prenatals arrived so we opened them and said, "look what we got!" Totally lazy way to tell her that grandbaby #2 is coming but she was excited so it was cool.
Welp. Last night I busted out my maternity jeggings after having a complete melt down about how the pants I was wearing were too tight and I wanted looser pants #whymypregnantselfiscrying
@arhodes6: I feel as if maternity clothes are the universe's gift for being bloated and uncomfortable. Embrace it and enjoy it! I'm thin and haven't gained weight but by the end of the day I'm so bloated my regular clothes are uncomfortable. No shame in this maternity-wearing game!
@notthefather haha yes! I love maternity pants. I am actually really excited that I got them out yesterday. My blump was the most comfortable it's been in weeks!
@arhodes6 FFTC I never completely stopped wearing maternity clothes (tshirts, tanks, and leggings) after having DD last August. I'm excited to wear my maternity pants again.

@arhodes6 If I still had my maternity clothes from my first pregnancy I think I'd be lounging in them after 5pm when I blow up like a blimp from dinner. I have several pairs of yoga pants though that might as well be maternity pants, and I've been living in them.
@becausescience Me too! Definitely still wearing all my maternity clothes from when I had DD last August. Even if I weren't pregnant I would still be wearing them.
MIL brought DH a birthday cake this past weekend, which kind of postponed DD's and my plans to bake him one. We're baking a cake in a bit, and I'm totes excited to eat it I'm also looking forward to baking with DD because it's fun having a little helper!
@arhodes6 Ugh, I literally FINALLY put my maternity clothes in the attic 2 months ago and I'm torn between really wanting to wear them and the effort it would take to 1) get them myself or 2) ask DH to do it. <--- literally how lazy I am right now.
I'm totally miserable... I forgot how much the first trimester SUCKS. (While its the biggest blessing) I hate food but i'm hungry.. everything makes me feel sick and I'm sitting at work dreaming about my bed.
I googled "5th Pregnancy Announcement" on Pinterest and realized by the one announcement that didn't reference any potential judgement that this might not be a thing when you have so many. I have already responded to an awkward "was this planned?".
Also, now that I am convinced this baby is a boy, I started to have an irrational fear about leaving my daughter with four SILs. I know that is silly, but what if all my son's bring home cray-cray women? I will never be able to die in peace.
@DDRRT1982 lol!!! Lets hope at least one son makes a good choice for your daughter's sake! I recently saw an announcement someone did for baby number 7 and I thought it was adorable!
@becausescience I'm in agreement for if it hasn't been started, anyone can start it. It gives people a chance to be that much more active if they want to be. I'm all for organization and uncluttered boards, but I don't personally think it has to be regulated to that extent. Just my two cents
Sunday I was considering using my birthday freebie movie to go solo. But I felt bad leaving H out so I asked if he would like to go to one Wednesday when he was home. He said he would. Wednesday comes, he says we've been invited to dinner with his BFF of over 20 years who is visiting from Asia at friend's parents'. Sure. Thursday is fine. Dinner goes late and it was a good midnight before I got to bed. Thursday comes. Friend's parents are willing to watch kids, can we go out to this 21+ hot dog & beer place with them. Sure. He'll take me to a movie Friday and I'll make it through an evening at a place where I can't consume their main and best items. It was 10:00 before we got home (I was only one who had to be at work today). Today? "Hey, we got invited over for beers?" No man. I do not want to go back over there and have this guy's dad badger me all night long about the state of my uterus while I worry how my ultrasound will go Tuesday and I'm stone cold sober and tired and my head hurts and then stay hours longer than I would like. I'd rather go get bamboo shoots under my nails. Then I told H it didn't matter about the movie anyways because my freebie had expired. But of course I said that's fine and have been praying since for MS to hit and start puking my guts out so I have an excuse to send him so he doesn't miss out and then send him so I don't have to go,

So, lately I've been freaking out silently about how this is my last baby! Or at least I think.. Dh and I are fine at three and honestly I think I'd lose my shit if I had more than 3 (no offense to anyone with more, damn proud of yall!!) But as I think about it more and more I get sad and I don't want it to be my last! Hormones suck,

I am not sure I will ever get that "done" feeling, but I will say that the fatigue and morning sickness is kicking my ass. I really don't know if I can do this again and am really starting to contemplate whether this is my last. It will definitely be an end of an era, but my body might be telling me it's time with this fatigue.

Same! I knew we weren't done after we had our second because when I was hours from having given birth, I turned to DH and said, "I can't wait to have another!" (P.S. labor and delivery were horrible, so it's not like I was looking forward to that part again!) This time around, I think I am settling into the "last" feeling. DH only wanted 2, but he knows that if we have a third, he'll never regret it, but if we didn't, I would regret not having another. He's smart like that With this pregnancy, I'm already starting to wonder if I could even do it a fourth time. I don't mind pregnancy, but holy smokes am I feeling far more exhausted than I did with the first two. I'm tired, sick, and recovering after a long day puts me down and out longer than before. I'll be 32 when this baby is born, and I'm thinking it's my body's way of helping me be done after this one! No matter what, I'm sure to have many waves of sadness over all the "lasts" this time around!!
@LiveNLove44 and @DDRRT1982 I feel the same way with the exhaustion and just the feeling of being sick. I haven't felt good in weeks. I almost wanted to slap the nurse when I went for my appointment because she set my due date back a whole week. I feel like I'll be thinking about this my whole pregnancy until its time for a tubal and wonder if I'm doing the right thing. My last two pregnancies took a toll on my body. I have an extra disc in my spine and one of my hips is misaligned and physical therapy is only a temporary fix. So I'm pretty nervous about how I am going to feel down the road with the weight gain and the stress on my back and hip.
