@literatureandink we were hosting 13- just got bumped to 17! So I feel you. I've got all my heating elements planned for what gets cooked when, where, time, temp. Tonight I am labeling my serving dishes and serveware for what it is for too. I've divided up food but am doing most of it, and my MIL and sister are cooking their things at my house that day too. We have to rent tables and chairs so I took Weds off before to get those set, and prep any food etc that I can.
DH also made our house the holiday hang for his friends group since some are in from out of town, so we are also having like 10 people over for lunch/hang on Friday! I told him they better be good with paper, and he can make whatever he wants- I'm out.

I'm flying to visit family in Australia next week so trying to wrap my head around packing. Working out what summer clothes still fit is a little depressing...
I am going on a “treat yo self” weekend this Saturday! My DH is watching the kiddos while I stay at a hotel down the road and take myself for a bunch of spa treatments and dinner. My daughter will be 4 soon and I have not had a night to myself since she was born. I’m very very excited
Sorry I've been so MIA the past week. Life has been crazy busy and my employer just announced this week that they will be terminating 250 jobs starting next week. I should be okay, but you never know and it is still stressful.
I had my first work week of switching over to my maternity jeans and it is SO comfortable! (About 19 weeks) I have a few from Motherhood and a couple from Target and I love them. Everyone at work knows about baby now and they’re so nice to me and it feels special. I’ve noticed the “air bubbles” feeling in my tummy from baby and it’s so cool. Weird that I’ve felt it during work around 6am a few times... she’s an early bird like me.
@literatureandink@mercury94 my doc says they'd rather me wait until 3rd trimester to get a booster! my last TDAP was many moons ago so naturally I was freaking out. luckily my team is amazing and i'll be staying at my elementary school for now. although nowhere is safe.... lol apparently pertussis breaks out every 3-5 years, and vaccines are only effective for a certain amount of time. I learned a lot yesterday
@phinzlabyrinth yah- TDAP is good for like 10 yrs, but they have you get one during all pregnancies to give the baby some protection. Third pregnancy-third tdap in 3 yrs over here! Note- when you get it- RUB your arm where they gave it to you. A lot of people get really sore, and that helped me a ton!

@smallbutmighty77 while it is good for 10 years but APPARENTLY effectiveness against pertussis wears off after just four years! so probably going to make my family get a booster if they wanna touch my baby lol
