It's Monday. I just needed one more day.

EmilyA724 · December 2018

Random question, I'm on my computer for the first time and I forgot about my little bio at the bottom. How do I edit that? I can't figure it out.

moon1417 · December 2018

@emilya724 up in the right hand corner of the website there is four icons, one is a little person - account options. you can adjust your signature in there.

Me this morning:

hey_clever_girl · December 2018

Y'all my cat is such an a-hole. He wakes me up every morning at like, 4:30 by banging on the doors, or standing in our hallway and meowing as loud as he can, or trying to climb up on my headboard... And just now, he perched his butt right on my home office printer so it started beeping and scanning god knows what. Why is he such a ****?

moon1417 · December 2018

@runningisrad I hear these types of complaints a lot from cat owners. I do not think I'll get one lol does not sound fun.

I am a realtor and work mostly from home, but I have a closing tomorrow. So now I have to figure out what of my very small professional wardrobe actually fits me in my current puffy state.

I’m so happy that I got an appointment for December 31 for an ultrasound. Don’t know if I’ll see/hear anything but at least it’ll provide some reassurance. I leave for China on January 2 so I didn’t really want to wait until I returned on january 17.

Hahaha I love this. This is me as I figure out what to pack for my trip. I need business wear but all my business wear is fitted.

@yty0205 based on your picture, I'm going to assume you know what I mean when I say "Geaux"

wanderlustsoul · December 2018

Any of the experienced moms have tips for travelling in the 1st trimester? I am flying to China on Jan 2 and I’ll be 6 weeks. I then come home and fly to South Africa on Jan 19 and I’ll be 8.5 weeks. It’s long flights so that’ll be fun. I usually never pee on airplanes because I hate it but I won’t be able to avoid it now.

suzycupcake · December 2018

@AKuzReve That sounds like a great question for our Ask a STM a question thread

wanderlustsoul · December 2018

@suzycupcake good idea! Posted there. I forgot about that thread.

MollyH1987 · December 2018

@runningisrad oh no, I think Netflix took Thor:Ragnarok off of Netflix! Whatever will my DD watch now

I guess time to buy it on Prime now...

hey_clever_girl · December 2018

@MollyH1987 craaaaaaaaaap!!!!

Twinkiedoll · December 2018

@MollyH1987 Noooo! I love that movie. I have an unhealthy obsession with Jeff Goldblum.

moon1417 · December 2018

I have been crazy busy this week! One of my coworkers has been onto me. telling me I’m pregnant a couple times a day bc I’m tired. Today she said it so many times I just caved while we were out to lunch and said “you’re right!!!” It actually feels good to have someone at work know. I trust her not to say anything and she’s super excited for me. But holy cow she has intuition.

sourlemon · December 2018

Everybody all ready for Christmas (or other celebrated holiday)? I'm so excited for my kids but not 100% ready yet.

lilmamabebe3 · December 2018

@sourlemon I am excited for my kids but I am not ready. I hate wrapping on a normal day, but add in the extreme exhaustion and I can't take it anymore. We haven't even gone to see Santa yet, which is a huge tradition for us! We are planning to go tonight. Also your sn is so familiar to me.

Unrelated, we didn't think the third baby would happen, so H and I booked a trip to Disney in May. We were going to bring our nanny because our youngest is still so little and it would allow us to have more time with our oldest. But she is so excited about the trip, we picked out all of our dining a few weeks before I got my BFP and I still haven't told her. This morning when she got to my house, she definitely witnessed me vomiting and I generally look like a troll these days. She doesn't seem to have any idea at all yet, but I am dreading telling her that we canceled the trip. She is going to be so disappointed. And I am really glad we didn't tell our kids yet. But that is my annoying fwp of the day.

WinchesterGirl · December 2018

Any other STMs+ feeling all the guilt right now? I am so tired, and so nauseated. We are watching a lot of TV, not getting out much, and eating more junk food than usual. I feel terrible about it. But DS is digging the TV time. Ugh.

ash0625 · December 2018

@WinchesterGirl oh yes. Yesterday I got home from work and laid on my living room floor. My 10 month old did whatever he wanted until his Dad got home, including emptying an entire box of tissues all over the living room while binge-ing Little Baby Bum.

WinchesterGirl · December 2018

@ash0625 What is it with kids & tissues? My bedroom is covered in 2 boxes of tissues right now. Dude, quit that! But picking them all up is a lot of bending over. Not happening right now.

vvitchhazel · December 2018

@sourlemon I'm excited AND ready! I only have to wrap a couple more things, but the kids wrapping is all done. We have Christmas with my parents on Saturday morning, Solstice bonfire is Saturday night (and my parents are keeping the kids), Sunday is Christmas with my extended family, Monday we celebrate with DH's side, and then we can bum around the house the rest of the week, since DH is off!!!

@WinchesterGirl We are doing a lots of Dot (on Hulu) lately. And my kids are still in their jammies (it's 10:30). My younger one is in "baby jail" right now, which is one of the Summer Infant playards. Because mama just can't right now. And I think my older one is playing in the bathroom sink right now. Oh well!

@ash0625 I HAAATE Little Baby Bum with the fire of a thousand suns.

WinchesterGirl · December 2018

@vvitchhazel Yep, PJs here too. Pajama pants are stretchy, so, win!

This is my third, but when I was pregnant with my second, I cried all the time for being a terrible mother. Just know this is a moment in time and you have to survive.

Last night, my husband worked late and it was just the boys and me, so I fed them bacon, waffles, and ice cream for dinner. I did not have energy to argue. We watched a few blippi videos and off to bed they went. It will not always be like this. And also, the way my boys love each other and mess with each other and relate to each other is worth all the guilt. Yes, four months of my son's life I was pretty checked out except for basic care (and really, is ice cream for dinner even providing basic care, lol?) but he still thinks I am the greatest human on earth and he has a PITA brother he really loves too. You got this!!

lilmamabebe3 · December 2018

Oh another random--my entire team is out this afternoon for a volunteer thing that they forgot to put me on the invite for. They felt horrible, but honestly, I am so exhausted and nauseated that IDGAF. And I get to sit here for another hour or so and then go home for the day. I should feel horrible for skipping the volunteer day but I don't. It's called self care, right?

hey_clever_girl · December 2018

@ash0625 OMG finally another Little Baby Bum watcher. My 2-year-old is obsessed with it!

@WinchesterGirl I'm a TTM and I give zero **** about the amount of screen time my kiddos get. Mama is nauseated and if I move too much I'm gonna barf. TV it up, kids!

ash0625 · December 2018

@runningisrad it is our cure for everything. I turned it on at 5 this morning because I was too sick to move and it keeps him still for longer than anything else.

@vvitchhazel It is certainly not my favorite, but it does the trick.

moon1417 · December 2018

Omg I am so glad I'm not the only STM who is nauseated and using TV to cope lol

aevan011 · December 2018

DS is living his best life. TV time, not fighting him on food. You don’t want to eat lunch? Fine. I’ll leave some crackers out. Just sitting looking at his food makes me ill sometimes.

We have phased out LBB for the most part, there was obsession for months... but now we are obsessed with these weird toy car videos.

WinchesterGirl · December 2018

WTF is happening in the maternity clothes world right now?

Crushed velvet & bell bottoms need to stay gone!

hey_clever_girl · December 2018

@WinchesterGirl giiiiirl have you been in a Target lately?! It's like a Delia*s catalog threw up all over the women's clothing section! Crushed velvet, babydoll shirts and dresses, CABOODLES. It's BANANAS

MollyH1987 · December 2018

@ash0625 DD was into Little Baby Bum for a long time. Then she moved onto to Cocomelon and Dave & Ava.

WinchesterGirl · December 2018

@runningisrad No, I reject all of those options. I like skinny jeans. And cotton. And basically anything that's not velvet and ruffles.

Also why have all the maternity shirts started to look like tents? I'm 5'1". I need some shape or I just look like a walrus.

deecherise · December 2018

@WinchesterGirl @runningisrad y'all are cracking me up!! I kind of like the return of velvet, but yeah, most of the "new" trends could have stayed gone.

hey_clever_girl · December 2018

@WinchesterGirl @deecherise it's just so insane to me. I'm almost 35, so when I see a gorgeous, trendy 22 year old girl walking by wearing overalls with one of those striped, ribbed baby doll tees underneath and a flannel tied at her waist I'm like I'm sorry is it 1995? What the hell just happened? WHERE AM I? ARE YOU ALICIA SILVERSTONE, MISS?

I guarantee this is how my mother felt when I became obsessed with "hippie" clothes when I was a teen.

Avrilmai · December 2018

@WinchesterGirl oh no! that is awful.
@runningisrad lol. It's like once the music makes it to the "classic" rock channel the trends recycle.

Also, scrunchies are apparently back? My niece asked me if she could have my old ones. all of these recycled trends are making it difficult for this pack-rat to clean out her closet.

EmilyA724 · December 2018

When 70’s style came back I have a very vivid memory of my mother telling me “if you were around for it the first time, you’re too old to wear it the second time”. This has suck with me for over 20 years and I can’t get it out of my head when I see 90’s clothes everywhere.

Caboodles were the best though, right?!
