Saturday Ticker Change

*stolen right from Friday*
How far along are you? How big is baby?
How are you feeling?
What's going on this week?
Rants/Raves/Questions:
GTKY: Of all the baby things you have, what are you most excited to use, and why?
Re: Saturday Ticker Change
Rave: I'm so glad my constant peeing only lasted a few days. I was about to crazy from the lack of sleep getting up every 20-30 minutes at night to pee. Now it's back to about once every 2-3 hours.
That's a hard question! Probably the hand knitted sweaters my friend made because they're so cute.
@clovelyone I hope those little ones stay put a while longer!
Rave: On a little getaway with H right now, and although we go back home to work on the house in a few hours
This is a really hard question! I might be most excited to see H wearing him in the ergobaby carrier, mainly because H is so excited about it. Otherwise, maybe the Halo Bassinet because it just seems so convenient!

@Piccola1988 heres hoping your move goes smoothly and the kitchen is up and running fast. It effing sucks not having one when you move in somewhere. I’m living it now and my life is HELL. Also, yeah, asparagus is definitely smaller than a cucumber. Right now I’m a pineapple, and I know asparagus is shorter than that. Dumb.
@moonlady-2 score on the stroller! God is everyone moving?! Have fun unpacking the rest of those boxes. Don’t be afraid to throw shit away! I love getting rid of stuff I don’t use!
How far along are you? How big is baby?
29 weeks! Babies are the size of a barbie convertible
Huge. But ok. It’s really annoying having to pee literally every 10 minutes, but oh well. Comes with the territory, I guess.
We’ve got our first parenting twins class Tuesday. Next week is the breastfeeding twins. These babies are so close to being here and it’s FREAKING me out.
My stupid kitchen remodel will be done by this next Friday. Only 6 more days of this hell and then I can unpack and relax. That’s really the only thing on my mind right now. Raves are that these girls are kicking up a storm! My husband was talking to them the other night while lying on my stomach and baby B kicked him right in the head. Love it.
We actually don’t have many things yet since my showers aren’t until Oct 22 and Oct 28. So far, my glider is kicking ass. I love to go into the girls room and just sit and chill. It’s basically the only room in this house that hasn’t devolved into complete construction chaos.
How far along are you? How big is baby?
Rave: I'm starting to decorate for Halloween, found some easy projects on Pinterest I'm looking forward to seeing how easy they say they are. Another my almost 5 year old still takes naps, so I can take naps on the weekends too
Probably the new rock and play I bought, it vibrates or rocks by itself, last time we had the low rent model, which worked great but I'm excited to see if this guy likes the RnP as much as DD did.
@Piccola1988 I'm glad you had a nice little getaway and my DH is also excited to use the carrier, it's cute.
@moonlady-2 That's awesome about your husband's paternity leave! I'm a little jealous!
@breezybee Enjoy your classes! If you learn any good tips, especially about the twin breastfeeding, can you please share them?
@kirss Weekend naps are the best! I'm thinking of taking one after I finish this post!
No real rants or questions I can think of right now.
All the adorable clothes and the cute little hooded animal towels we registered for!
just uncomfortable from belly weight, nothing too bad
ultrasound vs pic of me as an infant makes me smile!
the baby buggy...I think it represents a bit of freedom & fresh air if I can get out with the baby and dog.
@Piccola1988 I'm over The Bump's comparisons too. Asparagus, really?
@moonlady-2 That's great news about your DH's paternity leave!
@breezybee The steroid shots were in the butt with a total of two shots over two days (one in each cheek). It didn't bother me at all. I also got the TDAP shot in my arm. It didn't hurt at all the first day, but it's a little tender now. Gosh, I feel bad I haven't signed up for any classes. I did attend a third trimester class that they kind of automatically sign you up for. It was pretty worthless though.
@Kirss Hopefully they'll change his schedule soon.
@leilagphillips You've definitely got a busy week ahead. That's pretty cool that you know judo and will teach your kids.
@Amber_Waves Cute baby pic!
Raves: Husband seems to be in a better mood the past couple of days (I even got a cuddle this morning...in general he has wanted nothing to do with affection lately!), and we are finally making good progress on our master bathroom renovation, which is mostly DIY. I painted an existing cabinet that goes over the toilet, and got new knobs for it at World Market, and it is SUPER cute.
All of it....do I have to pick? I just ordered 4 more things off our registry, because I can now get a registry discount. When those arrive later this week, I will set up the new nursery closet shelves. Yay!
I still don't have much baby stuff, although we just received a Moby wrap as an early shower gift. I'm really looking forward to trying that for some reason.
Oh, and this Saturday is one of my favorite Baltimore events of the year- the Great Halloween Lantern Parade down in Patterson Park. It's really magical. I'll be working on my costume tonight, which is spider woman, who is pregnant in the latest Marvel comics version.
I already love our glider. We have some beautiful handknit and crocheted gifts already, including a unicorn outfit from my SIL. Can't wait to dress the baby in that, it's so adorable, white with a rainbow main and white diaper cover with a rainbow tail. Definitely not a practical December outfit, but it's going to be so cute.
Due date 12/9
I can't figure out the pregnancy countdown tickers, but I do know how to make a signature!
