    @suchaglencoco - It is just such an overwhelming task! I think I am going to try to start during nap time tomorrow to see what I can sneak out of the playroom >:)
    @ivyvines6 - I bet Cirque De Soleil was awesome!

    @mileswithmyles I’m in too much pain from walking normal amounts of daily activity to even attempt at this point. I’m looking forward to this time next year (really around October I think) so I can start getting my body back into fighting shape :lol:

    @glitzandglitter, we need a mini purge before Christmas just to adjust them a bit before hand. We emptied like half their playroom. My brother came over and was like "what happened? Where is everything?"
    Ummm, it's hidden because there is so much stuff!!! I want to get rid of a lot, but I'm worried I'll wish I kept it for this baby. Ugh, it's so hard! 
    I just need to see what gifts we have after all our Christmases are done before making final decisions. Although we did already put a few gifts in the closet for when they're a little older, so that's a start. 

    @mileswithmyles, I got a massage gift card too! I need to see if they will massage pregnant women before I get too excited...

    @mileswithmyles I got a gift card for a pregnancy massage from my brother and I was so excited. I had one last pregnancy and it was amazing! 

    How far along are you? 17 weeks and some days 

    Boy/Girl/ Team Green/Don't Know Yet? We find out in a few weeks! 

    How old are your other kids? 15 months 

    Rants/Raves/Questions (related to being a STM, stages your kids are going through, or anything else) - we are struggling with weaning/sleeping through the night still. We just moved into a new house 2 weeks ago and we started working on a consistent bed time routine, but Christmas happened so that didn’t help. But we are back at it and hopeful things will get better 

    GTKY:  Favorite Christmas/Hanukkah/other holiday present? I got one of those Amope home pedicure things that I’m pretty excited to try

    @clee5711 good luck with weaning and night wakings!  We officially started to sleep train last night to cut out the 4/5am nursing session.  She woke up at 5, cried until 5:45 (we checked in with her a few times), and then slept until 7:30. I'm really hoping it's only a few days before she just puts herself back to sleep.  The one nice thing is that my husband is gonna have to be the one who does the checking in on her - she is so pissed at me when I go in there and don't feed her.

    Mmm not really. We are in a difficult time: potty training and picky eating. But we are managing through the rough patches. 

    Does being harrassed by my MIL about baby #3 count? I'm not done making baby #2 yet! Uggggh

    Tough! I got the Cravings cookbook by Chrissy Tiegan and also an Instant Pot. And a pile of gift cards to Indigo (big bookstore in Canada) so I'm pretty happy!!

    @suchaglencoco my sister got my mom a golden girls t-shirt and a I think a candle? She thought it was hilarious. We watched that show growing up and I have three sisters so we all had one that we aligned with our personalities. I was Dorothy haha.

    @suchaglencoco omg that game sounds amazing! Yes to Golden Girls!!

    @ivyvines6 totally understand your reaction to the gift. I haven't been able to do much either without my body punishing me terribly. It's really frustrating! 

    @fraufarbissina Happy Belated Birthday to your little one! 

    And to all of you with massage gift cards... Lucky lucky girls!! Those are pure bliss

    Boy

    2 girls, almost 7 and 4

    I'm wondering if it's possible to love in the suburbs with 3 kids and not get 3 row SUV/minivan. 
    Also, I love vacation.

    We didn't do gifts for adults this year. But we got a new garage door which is awesome.

    @maplemom18 aww, first sugar high! Now that she knows about candy, the whole world is different.

    @glitzandglitter over the summer I hired a home organizer and we went through all the toys and got rid of so much. DH was not thrilled about it, but it's so much more manageable and they actually play with their toys now. They couldn't be there for it though.

    @mileswithmyles for backtalk, every time they speak rudely i stop them and model what to say. I won't respond to requests that are rude or incomplete (whining water during a meal). I'll also have then sorry in their rooms for responding rudely. We still get it though.

    @JNCPro3130 that’s too funny! I’m not sure about the boy thing because I’m not there yet.

    @ivyvines6 I'm right with you on the frustration of slowly getting out of shape and not being able to do anything s
    about it.May have had a minor breakdown on Christmas Eve over it. I try to keep telling myself that my fitness WILL come back. And with the Apple watch you'll be able to watch your progress once you do get back into it. I loved looking back every few months to see how far i had come and how much faster I'd gotten!

    @JNCPro3130 I think it may be a boy thing. My boys like to just take off their pants completely after going to the bathroom and run around in the underwear. Why? "Because it takes too long to put my pants back on." 

    How far along are you? 
    21 weeks today!

    How old are your other kids? 
    6 (as of next week) and 4.

    I love that the boys are old enough to really understand how to behave and what our rules are. I've been stuck in my room isolated with the flu, while my parents watched the kids and disinfected my house (because they are the BEST) and I heard the 6 year old ask if he could do his Starfall time on the ipad. My dad told him sure, and DS told him, "Don't forget, I only am allowed 15 minutes. I'll set the timer for you." They were so well-behaved and sweet. Hopefully it stays that way forever!

    We bought a couch a couple weeks ago so that was our present to each other.

    @maplemom18 I'm embarrassed to say that I actually have 4 pairs already. They are the only things I wear in winter and I love that they have more stylish boots that are still warm/have solid treads. You're right though, they last forever!
