@strickland8052 I was thinking this about the savings account too. I have a direct withdrawal from my acount into a savings account each month for DD plus her RESP. I just have to set up the same thing for LO. Hopefully not really seeing the money before it gets transfered will mean I miss it less. Right?
It’s our anniversary today and DH and I are enjoying a nice quiet day together. We went to dinner last night, and had the most amazing lobsters bisque. Today we’re makog biscuits and gravy for brunch and then DH is working on getting our new farmhouse dining room table built. It’ll be nice to cross off another project off of our list before baby comes!
We went and got snacks for the flight. It is a seven hour flight with no meals. 🙀 So we needed to stock up and plan ahead! We got some apples and peanut butter. Those applesauce pouches. Carrots, kind bars, fruit leather, fruit snacks, nut mix, beef jerky, and some gum. That should get me through! Now I’m going to spend the rest of my day packing and getting ready to go.
This may may be some TMI, but oh well. Went to try and get my “bikini zone” ready in the shower yesterday. That was difficult. I can’t actually see that area so I hope I did a good enough job through just feeling. Hahah.
@hakele - I used to be a regular waxer, but I've heard it can be excruciating during pregnancy. It's a conundrum though, because it's so hard to access!
This morning I took DS (3) to a sibling class at the hospital where I will deliver. He's already a big brother but wasn't old enough to know what was going on when DD was born. We had so much fun! The best part was that they took us up on the floor to peer in the nursery window at REAL BABIES, and we walked right past the room where I stayed after my second was born. It made me so excited to go through it all again - I'm the crazy person who ENJOYS my hospital stay, and there are so many reasons I can't wait for July!
@nolemomma14 happy anniversary! Sounds like a wonderful day with DH!
@hakele I've been pondering what to do about my bikini area too. Last time I just felt around and hoped for the best. I don't like I did too well. I have never waxed, but was thinking about it. After what @nerdtoyourmother said, I'm second guessing that. Maybe Nair? Might also have to call in DH for some help! I can't go untouched until July!
I had my glucose screen yesterday, and it was not at all as bad as I’d anticipated. The drink was clear, chilled, and kind of tasted like a sports drink. The hardest part was not being able to drink any water for the next hour until they drew blood (4 vials!). I totally crashed when I got home, though!
It's finally in the 70s here and it feels so good. Can I be bitter about being pregnant at the same time as my sil. we are on opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to prenatal care, Drs, birthing, healthcare. When she talks to me about these things I just have to roll my eyes.
I use one of those razors with the trimmer on one end. I just use the trimmer for my bikini area because shaving down there is not fun. But still, I just kinda went over it like 5 times and hoped for the best. I guess that I’m going to need hubby to double check. I’ve never had a wax and I’m not really interested in getting one.
@Cbeanz We went to see Breaking Benjamin. He had a good time, kicking around to the music and such! I think both my kids are going to enjoy music since we exposed them en womb! Ha. DD rocks back and forth when she likes something and it’s adorable!
@jennm0724 unfortunately the only place I know that does bikini waxes around me is a beauty school. I live in rural Nebraska, so there isn't much call for waxing services, I'm afraid.
@jenniferjoy37 Breaking Benjamin was not what i thought you'd say! That's awesome! DH and I have had the music conversation a lot lately. LO will be exposed to so much music in our house! We listen to music basically all day through spotify exclusively and have very varied tastes. DH loves metal but also enjoys rap, hip hop, classic country and music from the 20s. I love hard rock (not as hard as metal), pop, and hip hop, but will also listen to stuff like reggae and jazz. We are actually kind of excited to see what kind of music LO is drawn to since she'll be exposed to so much!
Won my works March Madness pool thanks to Virginia's win! $80 is coming my way! Not sure what I'm going to do with it though...
@cindler No one sees me as a rocker girl, it’s all good! Baby’s first concert en-womb was Five Finger Death Punch w/ Breaking Benjamin and Bad Wolves. It was amazing, besides not being able to drink because I JUST found out I was pregnant!
Im so happy your LO will have so much music to choose from!
We made it to HI! Im so happy because the flight wasn’t as bad as I anticipated. I’m thankful. The Lady next to my on the flight was a very nice lady from Ontario and she was really kind about me having to get up several times. I think I went to the bathroom 3 times on the 7 hour flight. So I’m probably a little more dehydrated than I want to be.
Well since only having one small BM since the 19th I went to my *almost* last resort (last resort being an enema) and I took a double shot of magnesium with 8 oz of prune juice. I hope this works because that was AWFUL 😂
Well, I went 3 times before we got on the plane, in the 1 hr and 20 mins we were in the airport. Haha. Once before check-in, once after security, and then right before walking up to the gate to board.

@nerdtoyourmother it actually isn’t that bad during pregnancy! Although I’ve been waxing for 10 years so I’m accustomed to it.
@cindler do you have European Wax centers near you? Thats where I get my waxes done. My girl is awesome and she is a mom and knows the struggle 😂
@foodislove I can't wait to see photos.
