I told DH he didn't have to wait around with me for the GTT and that I'd just walk to work when the appointment is done... I'm stupid. The walk is only 20 minutes, but I totally didn't think about having my purse, laptop, and lunch bag going through a semi-sketchy neighborhood. This 20 minute walk is going to take an eternity!

DH just got a promotion so he's transitioning to that role and has to go out of town later this month for a business trip.
DD is 7 and my parents are taking her to Disney World for her eighth birthday (they take all their grandkids when they are 8 or about to be 8) and she leaves Thursday. She is going to have so much fun but she has a little bit of anxiety about being away from home and being on the plane and stuff. Plus she is missing some school because of it. She doesn't get back until the 23rd.
DH's trip is the 24th. DS has a field trip on the 24th.
Then Halloween is the following week and there are activities and and stuff. I'm going to be miserable until November. It all hit me how much is happening when I was doing the calendar today. It's a lot. So if I'm a little MIA this month that is why.

Surprisingly, I love the busy stores and hustle and bustle of the season. It might not even be Halloween yet, but we don't really do anything for Halloween besides go to a Halloween party or two. And this year DD will be 2, so we got her a costume for daycare celebration and bring her door to door with her older cousin.

My boss's last day is at the end of the month. I report to one of the executives, so it's unlikely a new person would start in that role before I go out on leave mid-December. My boss was really nice and set me up to work from home one day a week before giving notice, so that'll be nice. Hopefully I can just get my work done, coast, and avoid all of the drama/bullshit outside our department. If they try to dump her workload on me, I plan to say a lot of "that's not in my job description..." and/or play the pregnancy card. I don't get paid enough to deal with that level of responsibility.
even though my due date is like 4 weeks after Christmas, I don’t think we’ll get a tree. We’re traveling for a few days before and home Christmas night, but I don’t think I’ll be up for tree procurement, decoration, and defense from toddler on my own so pregnant this year!

To those that already put up lights and started decorating for Christmas, I’m totally OK w that and Halloween existing at the same time.
I haven’t thought of our Christmas decor plans but some of you bring up good points on why going minimal may be best for you all. I might just hang some ornaments on our faux fig leaf tree and put a strand or two of lights! We went all out last year as we celebrated our first Christmas in our new house.
Totally random but today DH & I laughed over dinner how clueless we were w DD and the fact that we had no idea about the bottle nipple sizes. It wasn’t until our ped became very concerned watching us bottle feed DD.
“Does she usually sweat this much while drinking her milk? Is the nipple size correct?”
She looked so concerned. She mentioned it could be something more serious but we’d have to run some tests (heart related concerns). She had us check DD’s bottle nipple size first though before having us worry about the next step. It turns out it was the wrong size (meaning we should have changed it from newborn status). Poor DD was working so hard to squeeze out that milk from the bottle.

Also, kinda random but speaking of prepping/cleaning for baby's arrival - fully planning on hiring a cleaner to do a big sweep of the house near the middle/end of January. We usually do it ourselves, but I'm already struggling to bend over & am totally the type to stress myself out even more if the house isn't clean. The last thing I want to worry about is vacuuming & wiping down counters when I return from the hospital. (But totally would worry about it if it wasn't at least tidy, if not immaculate.)
I know we've talked about pro cleaners before, but I can't bring myself to regularly splurge for it. I do think a little extra peace of mind in those first few days will be worth every penny though.
Off to my local mom group to see if they like certain cleaning services in the area!! Thanks.

Smaller chested ladies, I have a bra recommendation: https://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=7146431520002&cid=1114958&locale=en_US.
I ordered one in July and have now outgrown it.. so I just ordered 2 more in a size up. It's really comfortable, and I think it could work as a nursing bra if necessary.

Now I just need to find a way to break my sweetgreen addiction for lunch so I don't go broke before then!

I've been cleaning like a crazy woman lately and it's really kicking my butt. Everything is so sore so I can't imagine keeping this up much longer.
One thing I LOVE doing as I've been using a fake tree is getting a really spruce scented candle from Target or TJ Maxx or Bath & Body and lighting it while I gaze on my fake tree from the dollar store. Instant holiday!

We're doing decorations for sure. I'm all about ambiance and happiness, lol. DH can put it away if I'm out of commission.
