GTKY: Any Valentine's plans? DH gets the award for most romantic. He makes an elaborate dinner and dessert. This weekend he helped DD throw me a Valentine's breakfast. I've got ideas but they also feel so lame in comparison.
5/20 - 25W5D
Team Blue!
rutabaga!
March 2 - for the glucose test and 28w appt
feeling pretty okay - I have been trying really hard to limit carrying DS too much and it's definitely helping - the constant pain I was having in my upper abdomen is completely gone!
I just really want to find a house already! So far we have made 4 offers and none have panned out. I'm tired and frustrated and I really want to start getting things ready for baby, but I'm started to feel pretty defeated. We are lucky in that we live in my parents' finished basement and have plenty of room - so I think pretty soon we are going to call it quits until the fall and try again.
GTKY: Any Valentine's plans?
They aren't necessarily valentine's day plans - but MH and I are going on a weekend trip to the mountains with my brother and his gf - leaving Friday and coming back Monday. MH's birthday is Sunday, so it's more a birthday trip that happens to also involve valentines day. Everyone is going to be snowboarding Saturday, so I'm looking forward to having the place to myself and doing some self-care/pampering and reading. It will be the longest trip we have taken without DS (he's staying at my parents' house) so I'm slightly nervous, but I know he will have fun and get extra spoiled while we are gone.
@jrouge12 that is so sweet that he got DD involved too!
EDD/weeks+days: 5/24 25+1
On the bright side my new table is here!
GTKY: Any Valentine's plans? Nope, we aren't big on Valentine's Day and never have been, so usually it just means we get the half price chocolate the next day haha.
GTKY: Any Valentine's plans? DH brought flowers home last night. We don't do anything special, but some friends are coming to visit on Saturday which will be fun.
jrouge12 sorry about the body aches! And your DH sounds cute with Valentine's Day
@chewie5990 I'm with you on the lifting. My daughter is none too thrilled about it but I just cannot carry her as much now. Good luck with the house hunting.
mamaj1220 I hope you get some help with the heartburn.

@chewie5990, I limit carrying DD, she is now 34 pounds. Sometimes it is sad that she wants to be picked up, but I encourage her to sit with me on the couch and to hug instead. We are getting big and it can become dangerous if we lose balance when we are carrying them, especially up and down the stairs.
@catem07, my DH brought flowers home on Sunday! It was totally unexpected and so sweet. It’s so nice when they do cute things out of the ordinary. Do you think it means we don’t get flowers for V-day?
It’s too soon to wash all of the baby clothes (plan on doing it in April). I don’t have anything to buy..started some registries for the free stuff, but don’t really need much (replacement pump parts, nipples etc) and could buy it all in a weekend in the next 2 months. Am I missing something? I felt so on top of things with my first pregnancy, but there was a lot to do, this time I feel like I should be doing something now...
GTKY: Any Valentine's plans? We were planning a trip out of town, but since it is a holiday weekend, it’s pretty expensive. I plan on taking a few days off in March and we plan on going out of town during the week instead. We may just go out to eat as a family of 3.

@mamaj1220 Yay for the PT discharge! Sorry the heartburn has been so bad, hopefully they can do something for it.
@catem07 +1 for having trouble getting off the floor after playing with DD. It usually goes very slowly. I love flowers but DH just never buys them for me! I'm not complaining since he goes all out making dinner.
@queenklau I feel the same way! I'm going to try and do some reorganizing next week during vacation but there's just not that much to do. Because of our small living space we'll make some changes (like a bassinet next to my bed) that don't make sense to do right now. Most of the stuff I've done has been to give DD adjustment time like switching her out of the crib. We have everything from DD and don't need any clothes (but people keep buying them).

GTKY: Any Valentine's plans? We are going camping this weekend as a family. We usually just do a dinner, but have the camping itch this year and going to keep it inexpensive/easy.
@jrouge12- I feel you on the hip pain. Have any advice for relief?
@chewie5990 I hope your house hunt comes to fruition soon. It's a frustrating process.
@queenklau Where do you think you'll go in March, nearby or somewhere further afield?
@mamaclownface Let us know how week 1 goes!
EDD/weeks+days: 5/24, 25+2
GTKY: Any Valentine's plans? We're going out to dinner on Thursday evening. We don't like crowds enough to go out on the actual day!

@chewie5990 I'm sorry the house hunting has been so difficult. I hope it all works out soon. Your weekend trip sounds like a great break!
@mamaj1220 yay for graduating PT! I hate when MH stays home and doesn't help out with anything around the house. Come on man!
@mamaclownface camping sounds fun! Though I'm not sure I'd be sleeping comfortably in a tent. I wonder if you'll actually find it better on your hips somehow. Definitely interested to hear how the classes go.
@louessbee yay to full on nesting! Plus newly decorated rooms are just so nice to look at.
GTKY: Any Valentine's plans?
Packing haha. MH got me two giant bags of sour patch watermelon gummies because I go through entire bags in one shot.
@jrouge12 Thanks for starting! I also enjoy our group check ins. I feel like I “know” you ladies fairly well. Yay for vacation next week! And a super sweet husband 😊
@chewie5990 Ugh the house hunting sounds awful! Sorry nothing is working out for you so far. Are you looking for move in ready or a fixer upper? Your weekend plans sound so fun! I hope you can enjoy it without missing your son too much
@mamaj1220 I hope the doctor gives you a good treatment plan for the heartburn. It seriously sucks. I feel you on the frustration for your DF’s lack of accomplishment while home, however I also have days when I’m home that I get nothing done and then I feel guilty for being pissed if MH is home and doesn’t do anything.
@catem07 I applaud you for still getting on the floor to play! I hope you have a great weekend with your friends
@queenklau That’s awesome that your coworker has a place you can visit this weekend! I hope it’s a perfect getaway
@mamaclownface Camping sounds like such fun! Idk if you already do this, but I found a pillow between my knees to be very helpful for my hip pain
@louessbee I hope you get great pictures at the US! I used to think the 3D ones were creepy but now that I’m pregnant, I think all the 3D pics people post in the US thread are so cute! And it makes me want to see my baby’s face too. So exciting that the nursery is coming together!!!
@lisush Woohoo for a signed lease!! Nice that you’re getting movers too! That takes some of the stress out of moving...no need to do the moving truck Tetris or have to drive the darn truck. Who thought it was ever a good idea to let regular people try to drive big ass moving trucks?!?

How are you feeling? Great and kinda guilty for feeling good when everyone else seems to be having so many annoying symptoms
Raves/Rants: My husband made me laugh so hard I peed my pants tonight so I consider that a rave. It’s good to laugh. Rant: MH’s cousin and her wife just got another dog and named him (or maybe he was already named?) Cowboy Jack. We are planning to name our son Jack but aren’t telling anyone the name until he’s born, but now it feels like they stole our name. Part of me doesn’t care because we had our name picked long before and the other part is annoyed that people might joke that we named our kid after a dog or something.
Questions: Not that I can think of
GTKY: Any Valentine's plans? So far we’re just planning to cook up some good steaks we got for Christmas. Don’t want to spend too much money, since we just had the unexpected vet costs and we are traveling to CA next week to visit my sisters and their families
@lisush It is fun! I don't think my hips could handle tent sleeping right now, though haha. I should mention our version of camping is taking our camper to different parks haha.
@louessbee Yay for nursery progress! We have ours painted as well, the furniture will be the next step.
