  • @tosh24 for real. A friend text me and she's like "your baby will be here in 3-ish months" and I freaked out a little.

  • I can't believe its October! I think because the weather is so warm here I still feel like winter/January is far away but I know with the holidays time is going to go so fast!

  • Ahhh, I decided my last day of work is going to be December 21st and then I'm just going to use saved up PTO until I have the baby and STD starts. I'm simultaneously ECSTATIC that I have less than 3 months of work left but also like how the heck am I going to finish everything I need to do??

    On another note, I'm babysitting my 14-month-old niece this weekend. She's generally super fun and easy (literally will just walk in to her room and ask to go to bed at night when it's her bedtime) but lately she's been suuuuuper clingy to her parents and basically acts terrified of me even though I see her like once every other week lol. I'm scared she's just going to scream the whole time and it's going to destroy my parenting confidence.
  • edited October 2018
    Also so shocked it is October already! If LO follows DD’s pattern he would be here in 12 weeks which seems so much sooner than 15 weeks! Feel like we have a ton to do yet but we also didn’t have DD’s room ready until I was like 32ish weeks so I think we will be fine. 

    Trying to enjoy the last few weeks with just one kid and actually sleeping!
  • @kianarain Ohh I never even though of powdering the underboob! I think I need to start doing this. I hate the feeling of my boobs sitting on top of my belly and being all sweaty/sticky. Good call!

    @UnbreakableKimmySchmidt I'm doing this in my mind too. Both DD and DS came at 38 weeks on their own accord, so even though I technically have 14 weeks left, I'm only really banking on having 12 weeks just to be safe. And to make me feel even more overwhelmed, I have a bunch of vacation to use up before my leave so my last day of work is only 10 weeks away! Ahhhhh! No idea how I'm going to get everything done. 

    This weekend we finished getting all our totes in the crawlspace organized and did a big charity donation. Rented a steam cleaner and cleaned the carpet in the basement so that we can move all the toys in the spare bedroom down there so we can start setting up the nursery. I think once I see the crib in the room, shit will start getting real....

  • I think I'm the opposite of you ladies, I'm so feakin excited it's october! My friend at work said something about having this baby at 37 weeks and I freaked out a little (because I don't want a Dec baby and that would put me at the 20th) but yay for almost being done!!!! 

    TW - Loss

    Another random, this past weekend was my one year anniversary of losing my third angel. So that's been hard. I didn't cry as much as I thought I would and I think it's because of having this little guy but still gut wrenching.

  • I think fall is finally here! It’s supposed to be a little warmer today (89) but 70’s the rest of the week and maybe rain! It hasn’t rained here since May. 

    This pregnancy seems to be going by super fast. I can’t believe I’ll be in my third trimester on Friday.

  • +1 to having the boob on the belly issue. Mine is not so much sweaty, but I just HATE feeling the skin rubbing.. I'm a B cup at best and never have the issue of my boobs touching any other skin, even without a bra. I honestly don't know how you ladies with larger boobs in general deal with that..

    **TW** @sparkymcgeee I'm sorry that you had a rough weekend with the anniversary of your loss. I recently passed my due date (9/21/18) for the baby that I lost in Feb. Having little brother on board definitely helped, but it still stung knowing that I should be holding a newborn right now. 
  • @sparkymcgeee those dates are so hard. Big hugs.

    For those powdering your boobs, just make sure you're using a talc-free powder. Best to avoid talc since research has come out showing it can be carcinogenic. Y'all probably already know. Burt's bees has a nice one or its easy to make your own with arrowroot powder and/or corn starch and essential oil.

    I have to fire my staff person today. I've never fired anyone and have been working with her for almost a year on her issues around all kinds of things. She's had many many warnings and all the support I can give but just isn't improving. Not looking forward to finding and training a new person before I go on leave but it has to be done. I feel down though. I hate that I am ruining someone's day/life and they aren't a bad person. 

    Wah.  
  • Omg to October. Getting pretty nervous!!
    @greenhillgirl That is never a fun experience. Hope it goes well.

  • Yesterday was great. I tried to get hamburger out of our deep freeze, but short of actually climbing in, there was no way I could reach the bottom of the freezer. Big belly in the way! I gave up and ate vegetables. lol
  • *TW*

    @sparkymcgeee (((hugs))) Those loss anniversaries are so hard and so unpredictable sometimes in terms of knowing how you'll feel. Sometimes the lead up is worse for me, sometimes the day of, sometimes the days after....it all just sucks. I have the death date of my first loss coming up next month and I think it will be really bittersweet this year. I usually take a compassion day from work on that date and just do whatever I feel like I need to do to take care of myself and honour her memory. Our lost babies will still always be our babies. Glad having little man on board seemed to help ease the pain of the anniversary for you.

  • @sfgiantsgamerbabe today is the last day in the 70s on the forecast for me. Mid/high 60s and even a high 50s on the horizon. I'm so excited! 

    @greenhillgirl good call on talc, I didn't even think about it & will have to double check. But oooof I hate confrontation and feel for you. I hope all goes as well as it can.

    *TW*
    @sparkymcgeee I'm sorry about your weekend :( 12/1 is my due date for the baby I lost in April. I agree that it helps having one on the way, but nothing will ever take the hurt away. I second @tosh24
    in doing something either for you or to honor baby's memory. I plan on taking the day & keeping myself busy, but open enough to feel what I need to feel. Sending so many hugs your way!
  • big hugs to you @sparkymcgeee

    I cannot tell you how many times I counted on my fingers because I was convinced that you all were wrong about this 3 month thing. Wow.

  • I have a couple ttgp friends there. I'm so happy for them!! :love: June 18 was my old bmb when I had my loss. It's really surreal that June 19 is open and i'm 6 months in to this pregnancy.  So many mixed emotions.
  • @ladystout08 where did you stay in Lancaster?  We love it there!

    @sparkymcgeee I hate those anniversaries.  Thinking of you!  You too @kianarain and everyone else.  I've been reminded a lot of my loss lately because DS overheard me telling someone that he was a twin pregnancy.  Now he says he has a best friend (imaginary) who is his brother he was in my tummy with.  Its rough trying to explain these things to a 5 yr old - its like he gets it but not why it upsets me.

    I officially have 12 wks until my c-sec.  I can't believe its almost down to single digits!!  I also agreed to work until xmas eve so I'm begining my holiday freak-out at this time.  I haven't bought a single present, made a list or anything.... so behind my normal this year :(

  • @ladystout08 hm, never heard of that one, will definitely check it out!  I am in Maryland, only about 20 or 30 mins from the PA line so we travel to PA frequently (we do a lot of our winery hopping there!) My mom has an unhealthy obsession with all things Amish and got DH and I into going on day trips to Lancaster, Bird in Hand, etc.  One of our favorite things to do!
  • @bradleysmommy28 I feel like I did know that now that you mention it lol. It was a good time but we don't go often because my husband can't be trusted at the pottery barn (kids) outlets.

  • Right, @drabong88 ! @saltedcaramel518 my snacks yesterday consisted of salt and vinegar chips and caramel popcorn !
  • Big hugs to the mommas marking a loss. I can empathize with you. 

    @ladystout08 and @bradleysmommy28 we were just in Lancaster two weekends ago. We went to Strausberg Railroad for a day out with Thomas and Friends. It poured rain and was damp and chilly all day. When I was a child, my parents would take us to Lancaster to eat at the Good and Plenty. 
  • edited October 2018
    @CoastieGirl79 lol about Good & Plenty. Both mine and DHs parents made us go as kids and we both hated the family style dining so its an inside joke that we're going to torture our kids with it when they get older.  Our favorite is Millers :)  
  • @mrsmang I got a little teary reading that! What a magical experience (even during a scary one). I'm glad you and baby are ok and that Disney took great care of you.

  • @mrsmang omg, literally crying reading this. I'm so sorry you took a tumble, it can be so scary during pregnancy. I am in awe of the note and gifts from the cast, how thoughtful. 
  • @mrsmang What a story! So glad it had a Disney happy ending:). I’m in love with that Beauty and the Beast picture frame!
