    I love getting on our board and having to get caught up on all the posts. I feel like our board is taking off and becoming more active. 

    DD1 has her dance performance this morning and I'm so excited. I hope her costume fits because I haven't tried it on her yet. 🙈 I clearly dropped that ball!

    @emeraldcity1214 aw that sounds like so much fun!! I loved going to my niece’s recitals 😂 they’re the cutest 

    I’m making MH make me pancakes for breakfast and then sitting my butt next to the pool. We’re at my ILs this weekend and I’m still completely surprised at how much my relationship with my MIL has improved over the last year. It’s so much better getting along than not. 💃🏻

    I havent been big on signing my toddler up for stuff yet but went big this month and she will start a once a week running program next week and then the following week twice a week swim classes (thank goodness for only three weeks). I am a little bummed I wont be able to make the running program because it is in the evening when I work. Its at 515 too which means I would have to give up 3 hours of work (contract employee) for about 5 seconds of her running. Im going to try to make one in the 7 week program but also just trying to realize she will be in things in the evening that I will just have to miss out on. But I think they will be really good bonding moments for her and her dad.

    @purplefan1 that’s so fun!  Our town has weekly track races in the summer and my son is finally old enough to participate, I can’t wait!  I did them when I was little too, so it’ll be fun!

    @emeraldcity1214 so fun! How did the performance go?

    @mc0303 that’s great that you guys are getting along better!

    @purplefan1 are you able to take her to the swim classes? So running can be a with dad activity and swimming can be with mom?

    So I have surgery tomorrow and I just realized I messed up and wasn’t supposed to take fish oil, vitamin c, vitamin d (and few other things) for a week leading up to the surgery and all 3 are in my prenatal. It’s super minor surgery to remove a basal cell carcinoma so I’m going to just take my prenatal that doesn’t have dha just for today and then wait to take it until after my surgery tomorrow. Hopefully it’s fine and they still let me have it. I’ve been anxious for about 2.5 months since finding out that I had it because even though it only spreads elsewhere less than 1% of the time someone has to be that 1%- yes I’m a hypochondriac. Lol

    @kopp5988 she did amazing! You could tell she knew her dances pretty well even though they were all watching the teachers who were on the side helping them. I was literally in heaven watching her up there. I danced for almost 20 years so this has been my dream since finding out I was pregnant with her. I'm just glad she loves it because I would be crushed if she didn't. 

    I would take your vitamin with you or call your surgeons nurse and ask about the prenatal. It may be a small enough amount that it doesn't matter.

    @kopp5988 I'd just let them know, but most likely its ok. I worked in dermatology for a bit and the biggest thing we didnt want patients taking was any type of blood thinner leading up to surgery. BCC is the "easiest" and least invasive cancer to remove typically. Good luck, I hope they go ahead and do the removal tomorrow for you!

    @emeraldcity1214 that so cute! I’m glad she enjoys it! I danced my whole childhood as well and a bit in college so I will also be enrolling any future daughters to see if they like it. And that’s a good idea, I’ll bring my prenatal with me 

    @gumby22c thanks for the reassurance. It’s a very small one, like pimple sized so my hope is that they don’t have to remove too much skin because it’s on my forehead so a scar would be very obvious

    My 3 yo just decided to take a nap on the couch....I am crossing my fingers she is just tired from gymnastics but why do I feel like she is starting to get sick :\ She never naps and when she does it is in her car seat during a long drive.

    Hoping this goes in line with the “random” portion... I’m having a dilemma and I hate to even call it that. DH little brother is getting married, his brother is quite the (new) party animal and just started drinking this last year. All his friends are younger and just wild in general, we’ve mostly all been there. 
    I will be 6 months pregnant when they have the bachelor party and I’ve gone through his bachelor party being at a strip club and he even went to another bachelor party during my first pregnancy. During that one he was given an impromptu lap dance from a friend for being a soon to be dad. I was NOT thrilled but it was after the fact and I never thought that type of boundary would need to be set - we didn’t discuss that. Im just dreading how I will feel about him going while I’m pregnant yet again. We haven’t talked yet and I’d rather vent and discuss here to get my thoughts in order. I don’t want him to go but I also don’t want to be a prude. I’m feeling even less sexy this pregnancy.

    @bmmims I'm sorry you're feeling this way! Are you okay if he goes but doesn't get a lap dance? I don't know if he can skip his brothers bachelor party, not sure about the dynamics of yours/his relationships. Anyway, I think however you feel is valid. I am not bothered by lap dances, although MH has never gone to the strip club while I'm pregnant, so I really don't know if that would change my feelings. I also don't feel sexy at all. But, I bet your H does think you are. I would talk with him sooner rather than later about this. 

    AFM, I made a really dumb mistake on something for a side hustle job I have, and I'm trying not to beat myself up. I was really mad at myself yesterday, and I'm less so today and more just a bit embarrassed. Privately I'm blaming baby brain. But there's nothing I can do at this point and I just have to ignore it and move on with my life.

    @creamcheeseplease I would never ask him to bail on the bachelor party. It’s on the element of the strip club that I’m feeling iffy on at the moment. I trust him 100% and that’s why I feel even more silly for this feeling like such an issue for me. I think it’s based purely on how unsexy I feel. Which will likely only be more so at that time.

    @bmmims It is very reasonable not to want your husband to go to a strip club. Even more reasonable not to want him having another woman, who is mostly naked, dancing on top of him. If you feel strongly about this, talk to him and let him know. Personally, my husband would never do that. He would never even walk through the doors because he feels that is disrespectful to me. Neither of us watch porn either....so I guess we are prudes. 🤷‍♀️ I'm ok with that.

    @bmmims - I literally just went through this situation.  My husband went to a bachelor party last month and during it went to a strip club.  Usually I am just whatever about strip clubs.  Not my favorite places but I trust him but when he told me he went I was so uncomfortable with it and upset. I think it was the exact same feeling about how unsexy I was feeling but it definitely was not a fun feeling.

    That being said, shortly after I went to see a stage performance of "The Full Monty" where men are essentially Chippendales before stripping completely down for like a second at the end.  It made me feel much better ;)

    @dancer688 haha thanks for that, I am sure that did help! Luckily the next weekend I am taking a girls camping trip that we do every year. I don't want to be sour about it but my hormones feel otherwise.

    @bmmims I wouldn't be cool with it, pregnant or not, and I don't think it's prudish either 😕

    @bmmims Definitely a situation to have a clear, straightforward discussion up front about boundaries and expectations. Those might look different for everyone and no need to label anything as prudish or disrespectful or whatever. You have to decide what you're comfortable and uncomfortable with and whatever that is for you is FINE. I am guessing if he goes into this trip knowing how you feel he will not want to violate your trust or do anything that makes you uncomfortable.

    @runningfortwo81 Absolutely, we're going to talk about it tonight and I just needed a chance to have an open discussion before going into this because I want to come across tactful and respectful. I appreciate that reply and I certainly didn't mean to come off as disrespectful in my initial post by naming any type of label, was not my best choice in wording. This all had me a bit rattled this morning.

    @bmmims You're totally fine! I wish I could insert my tone and body language into my posts. I was just meaning it's one of those topics that everyone will have a different opinion about...some people's 'omg I would never do that' would be someone else's normal. But you gotta do you. :)

    @bmmims I would feel the same way! Hope you can talk to YH about it
    @kopp5988 so glad it went well today!! And I feel you on the Advil. That's one of the top things I miss...besides beer...prosciutto...and just about everything
    @creamcheeseplease Aww I'm sorry. I can totally relate. Try to let it go though...way easier said than done...but what's done is done! And you're awesome! You have a side hustle for goodness sake. 

    I'm wrapping up a huge work project that I've been doing for the past 8 weeks. I'll be submitting tomorrow and I CANNOT wait!! It's been majorly stressful and will be so glad when it's off my plate. 

    I thought I felt the baby today...I'm prettyyyy sure it was him! I was surprised b/c the ultrasound tech said that with an anterior placenta I'd probably have to wait until around 20-22 weeks to feel anything (I'm 17 w now)

    @mc0303 yay for submitting that project!! What a relief that’ll be!  I’ve thought I’ve maybe felt the baby move but then wonder if it’s just gas, so hard to figure it out!

    I have been feeling nostalgic for BabiesRUs this pregnancy. We loved walking around the store anticipating what was to come during my first. After the my son was born we went a lot to get out of the house because it was one of the few stores with a nursing room so I felt more comfortable being out with a young baby.  

    @bmmims I am glad you are going to talk. Those kind of expectations and boundaries vary from marriage to marriage, do important to talk. 

    My DH doesn't go to bachelor parties, he figures they are for bachelors for a reason.  LOL, but he hasn't ever been a strip club kind of a guy.

    It has taken me 2 hours to pack 1 bookcase in my schoolroom. 😔 Now I have to stop because I ran out of book boxes. BTW, who decided making square book boxes was a good idea. I keep getting these awkward holes that nothing fits in because all of my books are rectangular. 😑

    @emeraldcity1214 ugh packing 😑 I’ve been dragging my growing book collection since high school and it’s such a pain bc the boxes are so subpar! Books are so heavy and awkwardly shaped. There needs to be better book transporting methods 🤨

    @mc0303 I would just downsize but I have been growing my collection for awhile and I want to use a lot of it for my younger children when they are ready. So to me, it is all stuff that has to come. Plus I have all the chapter books, baby books, fun board books. I want to make a little reading nook when we get settled that has options for all my kids to choose from. So I need all those books too.
