Yesterday was my birthday and DHs gift to me is a date day complete with an appointment for a massage at a local spa, and then a kid-free dinner and shopping spree for whatever I like. I kinda like that guy. 😘
Happy Birthday!!!! Sounds like a wonderful day to spend it!!
DD2 is potty trained just in time for the move from her crib to a bunk bed in with DD1! So pumped to not have two in diapers at the same time like I did when DD2 was born!
Add me to the list of people who feel like they went from kinda pregnant to feeling like a beached whale overnight! Baby #2 is kicking up a storm and much more active than DS was.
I haven’t been around much lately as between having a a never ending workload, it feels like more spare minutes have been planning for our move. There is so much to do in preparations and I have a short window of opportunity each dayto spend time with DS and trying to take advantage of solo time with him before baby comes. He just got a balance bike on the weekend and we are working on getting him more comfortable with it.
@PenelopeSnuz77 my oldest is nearly four and refuses to poop on a toliet. So bad to the point he will hold it all day rather than go. So to avoid constipation I put diapers on him still 😑 trying to get DD out of diapers here soon too. Thankfully they wear the same size for now so I just buy a big box for them but it's so frustrating.
And +1 to feeling like a pregnant whale overnight. I'm also getting *beautiful* varicose veins on the back of my knees and my feet are numb/tingly from standing at my new part-time job all the live long day.
Sorry to post and run, I have a meeting to get to but I'm reading all of your updates and am love titting the crap out of the comments!

I’m traveling for the day for a client meeting, but my counterpart who was on a different flight had a major delay so we pushed the meeting out a bit and I’m camping out in the airport until she lands. I’m already ready for this day to be done!

I really don’t like airports. I always feel like they are covered in germs.... sorry you’re stuck there! Maybe you can get yourself a little treat while you wait?
@emily1052 same here. I used to really love the airport because it usually meant I was going somewhere exciting and I thought the people-watching was interesting. Now I just find all the other people annoying and wish I was somewhere else!
@mrsinterweb Ugh that doesn't sound fun, are you staying overnight? Cause I would just check into the hotel. I can't imagine airports being comfortable to wait in, especially while pregnant.
@emily1052 I was lurking a bit ago. I like their thread about postpartum care. We could probably benefit from that.
@Cass005 no, it is just a day trip. This day keeps getting weirder. All the lines for food were crazy in the terminal I was waiting in so I walked to another and all of the power is out in the other terminal so even though there are a ton of restaurants, they can’t do any transactions! I might starve to death here!

I’m incredibly tired today and it’s 100% my fault. Last night I started season 1 of Big Little Lies...and I finished it 🤦🏻♀️😴 I got 4 hours of sleep. Then I planned on doing a short hike with my 4 and 6 year old then coming home to take a nap.....ended up taking my kids 7 yo friend and we didn’t get home till 5pm 😫 why do I do this to myself

@perfectlove09 Oh goodness, I hope you managed to get a good sleep last night. I know I personally do not function well on little sleep.
I was volunteered by my senior manager to give a big presentation next week and she wants the deck and a test run presented to her today. She’s quite tough and I admit I’m nervous about it’ll go. I fully anticipate feedback and having to revise portions to her liking.
We have DS1’s annual review for his IEP in less than an hour, and I’m a nervous wreck about it. We absolutely need him to receive summer services, and despite both his program providers and daycare supporting summer services, i worry the school district will decide he doesn’t regress enough
@cmbt2 fx that they let him have them. If the providers are saying its important, the school should not be allowed to say no. Do you have advocates available? We had this issue with N a few years ago. I just found out that there are people you can hire who will raise hell w/you. Apparently 1 woman if you even so much as mention her name, they give you the services requested without fight because she's that good.
@geminigirl16 Good luck with your presentation! @cmbt2 I'm glad you were able to get some good sleep, especially since you've been sick lately. Good luck with the review today; I hope it results it continuing the support YS needs over the summer!
So I've been naively confident and hopeful that my innie belly button would stay an innie. I know sometimes innies become outies during pregnancy, but I though oh that definitely won't be me!
Well. I looked down at my belly last night and noticed that my belly button has become frighteningly more shallow...... Icalled my husband into the room to point it out to him and I continued to dwell on it all evening, lifting my shirt to stare at it and poke at it. Basically this was me all night.
@galentine bahahaha! My belly button has been a topic of conversation for years..... So when preg with DS, it stayed in (phew 😉). DS has been OBSESSED with it for ever. No. I'm dead serious. His finger is ALWAYS in my belly button. Well, he's recently commented on it being "smaller". DH is really enjoying this because he's certain it's going to pop this time. I'm not going to lie, I'm growing concerned.... it's getting rather flat looking 😬
@galentine and @prpl11butterfly I was just saying to my H that I'm kind of glad my belly button is getting wider because it's easier to clean. I'm not sure how I feel about it eventually popping out... But don't worry, it will come back in after birth!
