Normally, I adhere to the daycare rules on if I go to work with a cold (no fever, no vomiting, no rashes), but I totally pulled to the cold while pregnant card this morning and am stay home. I’m really just majorly congested, but eh, no pain meds for the headache means I’m super miserable
tl;dr- I broke my own rules on whether I can take a sick day and took one anyway
My confession: I decided to take a half day today because I have a "dr's appointment" (everyone knows we have to drive quite a distance to see my RE about my pituitary tumor). In reality, I have two appointments: One with my hair dresser, another for a manicure. Whoops!
I totally forgot about a really good friends bridal shower tomorrow! 😳🙈 thank goodness I have friends that remind me. I honestly can’t believe I forgot!!!
@emily1052 I actually did this when DD was just a few months old -- I was in such a mental fog, I mixed up the days for my friends baby shower and didn't realize it until the day AFTER the shower. I felt horrible and still do actually! Thank goodness you were reminded ahead of time!
I have been eating a quick snack every morning before I get out of bed to help stave off morning sickness, and my go-to that usually seems to stay down is a chocolate chip granola bar. I usually eat the granola bar and then hang out in bed for a few minutes, just playing around on my phone and snuggling my dog, before getting up for the day.
One day this week after I did this morning routine, I got up and walked into the bathroom. I caught sight of myself in the mirror and starting freaking out. There was a giant black mole on my chest, one that's never been there before. I freaked out for a few minutes and eventually realized it wasn't a mole. Yeah. It was a melted chocolate chip from my granola bar.
@emily1052 and @Slou24 I totally did that when pregnant with DS1. Was actually getting ready to go to friend's baby shower and for some reason decided to double check the invite on the way out. I had gotten the times wrong, it was ending as I was about to step out my door. Luckily the friend was very understanding and just blamed pregnancy brain for me.

Today I stupidly wore pants that I knew were right on the verge of not buttoning up. In the mornings I just have my normal bump but as soon as I put food in my mouth, I immediately go up two sizes. So I was sitting in my corner of the office this afternoon with my pants unbuttoned AND unzipped when our HR representative came in today. Of course he immediately wanted to talk to me, since I'm the liaison for my office, and I had to fake finishing an email so he would go away and I could have a moment to suck it all back in and button myself back up.

I RSVP’ed no to my cousin’s wedding (not close to them but prob should go) because our friends are having their 12th annual Cinco De Derby party and it’s one of those things we don’t miss for ANYTHING.
I feel ridiculous making a registry as a 3rd timer.. my ILs like to go all out and suggested I make one for them to do so.
Half the stuff on it is for the boys 🤣🙈 I need to replace all the car seats in my car in order to get 3 across, so if they want to spend money, why not?

We have to do the same for car seats 🤦🏻♀️. We are going to sell our second car, buy a new one with a third row, but get new seats for the “new” second car.
As soon as we found out I was pregnant all the realities set in. So expensive 😬

I made registries this time too, for our third. No shame, I want the completion discount coupons and the free goodie bags even if no one buys off it but me.
Yep, I made a registry mostly for the discount. I don't expect anyone except maybe my mom and sister to get us anything off it. STMs+ what did you add on your registry? I don't think there's much I really need. Just another monitor, a new diaper bag, swing/bouncer combo (which I might end up buying used since they're only for such a short time and that's what we did with DD1), bottles and a baby bath because we didn't keep ours. I feel like I'm missing some things. Who knows!

I have registries going for discounts and freebies. They are set to private. Just picked up my target bag today. And will probably grab another when I visit the 2nd Target I frequent 🙈

My youngest is 5, so I actually have no idea what we need (I need to go up in the attic to figure out what we still have). For now, I put everything I want to have on there and I will take things off as I find that we have something that will work.
Sent the little guy to gma's tonight so we could get packing. Our closing got pushed back to Tuesday, but it's still coming up so fast! This house is starting to look empty, it's so bittersweet 😊
@emily1052 Target will but you have to pickup in store (and can do so at multiple stores/times because they do not check). BuyBuy baby also requires instore pick up but I think their Facebook said they will ship if no store within 25 miles of you. Amazon does for Prime members but you have to make a 10$ purchase first. And Walmart had also joined the running though from the pics it doesnt look that I have impressive.
The Target bag had several diaper samples, 2 bottles, a pacifier, a few sample packs of wipes, a small lotion and wash, some breast pads and milk storage bags, a few other tiny samples and a book of coupons.
You can also get some freebies by completing a safe sleep course on Baby Box University web site.
@cmbt2 totally forgot to put 2nd carseats on the list (we'll need one for each car). We have the infant seat from DD1, but I'll probably put 2 convertibles on there for the discount. DD1 is 3.5 so haven't used the highchair in a while, but we did keep it.
@quidditchcapn1120 same! Since DD1 is 3.5 a lot of stuff has been in storage for quite a while. I have a good idea of what I kept, but will still need to go through it.

Bonus confession: I lied to my toddler and said it has coffee so I wouldn’t have to share
Me before kids: “I’ll never lie to my child!”
Me now: “sorry sweetie we’re all out of chocolate [hides bar in pantry].”
