I love that I'm not the only one who is struggling with what day it is. It's Thursday right now. I only know because I am working on payroll for tomorrow. Want to make this a UO thread?
I'm tired of Fixer Upper and am glad the show ended.
Along the same vein, I am so tired of those tiny house shows. Your tiny house is dumb and nobody really enjoys living that way permanently. Congrats, you just spent a ton of money on a luxury tree house. I get especially mad when they have pets they keep cooped up in there, too.
While I'm super excited about baby, I'm not looking forward to another summer pregnancy. I hate being huge in the summer-I already run super hot.

I lived in a "tiny house". I called it a studio apartment, and no one thought it was some kind of fun lifestyle choice. It was a necessity and right of passage for most 20-something urban college grads who finally didn't want roommates! The ONLY difference between a "tiny house" and virtually ANY city apartment is where the dwelling is located, not the size of it. WHY DOES NO ONE RECOGNIZE THIS!?!?!?!?
@Wishilivedinflorida I actually spent all but 4 weeks of my last pregnancy in Florida, and other than 3 weeks in Feb, they had record breaking highs the whole time-Oct-April it averaged 90-96 the entire time. The three weeks in Feb were my favorite, even though we didn't have a furnace. Breastfeeding my son (who is also a heater) from June to Aug when he was little and it was also mostly super hot in Chicago where we moved, was a hot mess too.

@pourmeamocktail oh man...nursing a hot sweaty baby when you are also hot and sweaty is a special kind of torture (sorry everyone who things nursing is rainbows and butterflies all the time)
@lumosmaxima So true! I actually enjoy nursing my toddler more than when he was an infant. Less often, and for less time, and I could say no!

@pourmeamocktail I never made it to toddler years! Longest I nursed was until he was 13 months and I was sooooooo beyond done. I have a lot of respect for mamas that keep going!
@lumosmaxima 13 months was just about when it got better for me! He's 19 months now and we'll see if he continues and if I dry up....idk, he's always been so high needs and poor sleeping that I couldn't stand the thought of cutting him off and losing my only trump card!

@megnwingate Yes, I agree! Plus I'm so tired from all the other holidays by the time NYE comes around.
@wishilivedinfloride I actually still like the tiny house shows. They're my guilty pleasure. We hope to have a tiny house one day, but to use as a vacation home in the mountains. Not to live in full-time.
@pourmeamocktail Yes! I'm so so happy to be pregnant but I'm terrified of being in third tri during the late summer in NC. The humidity is horrible.
@pourmeamocktail I was wondering if I should start a nursing moms thread. I’m like @lumosmaxima, though. Ready to be done. I’m already losing supply, though I feel guilty because DS is only 9 months. Im probably going to have to start supplementing soon. I’m worried, though, because he STILL feeds once at night and I heavily rely on that to calm him at night and also to signal bedtime. You’re right, it’s like having a trump card up your sleeve. I’m riding things out until 12 months, hopefully, and hoping to wean completely then. Mama needs her boobs back for a few months at least!

I'm sad that my 15 month old will probably wean during 1st trimester. I'm only 5 weeks in and I think I already have less milk. I nursed my second until she was almost 3... I force weaned her because I was pregnant with #3 and puking. Bleh.

UO: I’m drinking all the coffee. Can’t stop won’t stop decaf not going to do it. I’m heavily addicted to my 1-2 cups a day and I especially need it to live with my two year old!
@chillmama1518 this should not be an unpopular opinion because it is fully within all the guidelines and studies have never shown an issue with low amounts of caffeine! The recommendation is that pregnant women have less than 200mg of caffeine per day--that's 2 8oz cups of average coffee. And it's not like all of a sudden terrible things will happen if one day you have a little more. Live on with your caffeinated self!
edit to add the other half of my post that didn’t post
I know it’s all good to definitely have a cup or two but it’s surprising how many women think they can’t or people in general who judge those who do! I need it to SURVIVE haha
@lumosmaxima I have always found drinking straight milk gross . . . Until I got pregnant last time. It was one of the first signs that something was definitely changing within me when DH asked me what I wanted to drink and I said milk and apple juice. So weird.
I'm another mom who's still nursing and I hope I don't have to quit anytime too soon. Besides not being emotionally ready for my baby girl to not need my body anymore, I am not ready to give up the magic fix anything spell that is booby!
