@older1sttime_mom2b I had an original model explorer. Trunk space was great even with a stroller but we rear faced for 4 years (she’s a peanut) and it got hard lifting her in and out of the seat. We have a Honda Odyssey now (have had it 18m) and it’s been amazing. Lots of comfortable useable space.
@older1sttime_mom2b I have a Toyota Highlander and love it. I got it a few years ago when my previous vehicle ran into some issues and wanted to get something more reliable while also fitting our family as we planned to eventually grow it. It has lots of trunk space if you have the third row folded down. When up there is still space for a stroller but we always keep it down since we dont really need the third row except when we go on trips with extended family joining us. We purchased a Toyota Sienna in the end of February/ early March (just before COVID-19) due to DH car (Jeep Grand Cherokee) not being able to fit him (he is over 6 feet) and a second car seat. We could have waited but we found just what we wanted and then COVID-19 happpend so it worked out perfectly. So far we are liking the minivan, it's very roomy and DS1 (he's 5) loves the dvd player. It was actually DH idea to get the minivan over a larger SUV. He looked at a dodge caravan, Honda odyssey and the Toyota Sienna. It was the Toyota Sienna that had all the features he wanted which is why he went for that model.
@older1sttime_mom2b I love my Honda pilot. I feel like it has more than enough space for our growing family.
How is everyone's sex life going? I feel like first tri and the early part of second tri I was always ready and willing to have sex all of the time. Now I just don't want it. No position feels as good as it use it. Don't get me wrong, it still feels great once we get into it, but it's just not the same and it makes me so sad.

@blackgirlmagic I’m glad you brought this up because I’ve been curious about how people have been navigating intimacy and sex throughout Covid-19. My drive has been fine, but my anxiety has created some barriers. My husband still does grocery runs and occasionally pops into his office (all while practicing the necessary precautions), but I still worry about exposure. We’ve tried not kissing - it just isn’t the same. Maybe I’m being overly cautious. I’d love for this to be a time that my husband and I can focus on our intimacy and relationship pre-baby, but this is definitely putting a damper on it. Anyway, to answer your original question, things have been a little slow over here 😂
@blackgirlmagic@whl1013 what is this sex life that you speak of I have had zero sex drive since 10 weeks and I'm 23 now... I cant last like a minute or two and then it hurts to continue... I'm lucky my husband is super understanding right now because I feel so guilty!
@blackgirlmagic We've been getting pretty darned busy over here... MH and I are super stressed out and honestly the release has been helpful. I'd say more nights than not there is something going on in our bedroom after we get the kid down. My drive is way up, and I think the increased intimacy has been good for us emotionally. There have been a couple nights where we've both been not too keen on it but a couple of times we kinda pushed ourselves towards it anyway and in the end the closeness actually helped us both sleep better and feel more secure. I'm not super worried about the exchange of germs, MH is careful when he goes out and showers when he gets home.. if he picks it up we're probably all going to get it regardless so I'm just not letting myself worry about "catching germs" kissing him and being close with him.
@older1sttime_mom2b, yes, but I don't know if it will happen this summer after all. We were also hoping to switch from a smaller car to an SUV. While having something higher is nice especially since I live somewhere with snow, I know I'm really going to miss how low my car is. I already hate having to hoist my almost 3 yo into her car seat and hoist the bucket seat up into the car, and that's with my current low car, and I'm not even short! Our truck is the worst. H is always the one who does it, and it's not even a super high truck. So, I don't know that a higher vehicle will automatically solve your problems.
Our sex life has been fine. It was great early on. A little less now, but not bad. My husband is still working and going out, but I'm not concerned at all.
@blackgirlmagic We're ~1x/week over here (which is honestly above-average for us, even outside of pregnance) but I have been waking up MOTN feeling suuuuper frisky. Like, unable to sleep because my mind's thinking about all the fun options. I've never acted on the moment and it's always passed by the next morning, but I may have to change that.
@blackgirlmagic Since husband has finally returned home from his training, things have been pretty steady. My last two pregnancies, I've had a major increase in sex drive once the second trimester rolls around. We typically don't go more than two to three days at a time without some kind of action, which I'm trying to take advantage of, because I know once I give birth, it's going to feel like a million years before I actually enjoy sex again.
I'm also to a point where thumps and bumps from the baby don't immediately turn me off. During my first pregnancy, I'd feel the baby flop around in my belly and be like, nope, that's it. I'm out. Lol. I feel like my orgasms have been more intense, too! Win win for everyone involved. 😁
I'm definitely not worried about germs. If DH goes out, he always washes hands and/or showers upon returning, and I'm sorry, but this pandemic has taken so much already; I'm not also going to let it dictate our sex life.
@older1sttime_mom2b my current lease is up for our explorer and I plan to get a new one just in a different color. If I didn't need the space (for 3 carseats), I would have stuck with an escape which is what we had before the explorer.
emiliadkay I have acted on motn sex before and it's some of the best sex my husband and I have had. He also likes the surprise of it. I would give it a try if I were you. I have put an ongoing "no" on my phone calendar to indicate nights we don't have sex and then change it to "yes" when we do. We've gone 17 days once without sex. I feel bad for my husband, but I told him if he wants sex he's going to have to initiate it. I'm not turned on enough to ask for it, plus I don't remember when I actually O'd. It's felt hella good, but not as good as I know it can be. I guess I could offer oral more, but I'm not a fan of giving if not asked.

After DH was laid off, I spoke to my old employer to see if there was any work I could do. Fortunately, they're still relatively busy so I started doing some data entry stuff for them from home this week. I feel really fortunate, but oh man, I am SO TIRED. I've been doing the SAHM thing for over two years and I guess my brain is rusty.
A whole bunch of household projects are now on hold because our income is so uncertain (beyond meeting basic expenses at least). My state's unemployment has a huge backlog and it takes DH's old employer forever to process his severance so we're not going to see those for awhile. I had all these ambitious plans to put in raised beds, a sandbox, and a swingset before summer so we could have a backyard oasis since the park is off limits for now, but that has now scaled back to "maybe if I dig up some grass and put seeds in the ground I can have some kind of garden." The room we're going to use as a nursery was painted this grotesque eggplant color when we bought the house (even the ceiling, go figure) and we have primer at least, so we're planning to start on that... if it ever gets over 40 degrees again.
@ziggymama06 The post was this weird stilted wording like "hello fellow moms, here is a link to my eBook!" I happened to be in a cranky mood so I reported it as spam, lol. I didn't expect the admins to act on it, or that fast! There is a similar post floating around on the first trimester board if you're interested . Should I QFP next time?
@wednesdaygirl1019 I woke up this morning to snow. I am soooo over it. This is like the winter that won't end.
@older1sttime_mom2b I was planning on sticking with my Honda Fit initially, but that ended up needing a ton of work right after DD was born so we bought a Subaru Crosstrek. I really didn't want a huge vehicle, and it has nice clearance and decent cargo space. Honestly, there was barely room in the passenger seat with the carseat installed in the Fit, so I don't miss it.
@blackgirlmagic I've been feeling similarly. I think the combination of job stress, fatigue, and the fact that I am getting more physical discomfort earlier this pregnancy is not helping. Also, the whole global pandemic thing is not really a turn-on for me, lol. I definitely was having a lot more fun in my second trimester last time around.
We managed to get the first big phase of swapping the rooms around 🎉 (while DD was napping), and so far it's a hit! Not perfect, but much better than before. Pretty sure I'll be feeling it tomorrow, but should be worth it.
@older1sttime_mom2b we were planning to get an SUV this summer, but since we are barely driving these days we might wait until fall or winter. We have a small 4-door that works fine with 1 kid, but we want something that will be comfortable for everyone with 2 car seats and maybe a guest or two.
My random from the week, I am finally pregnant enough that my give a damn is busted. I got into a very loud, heated argument with the police chief yesterday and I think he was caught off guard when I gave it back to him because usually I just listen to him rant and then try and discuss the issues. Nope, yesterday I may have had a complete pregnancy moment and lost my cool. At least he apologized afterwards. :-/
I'm gonna let my privilege show here for just a second, and I'm sorry if I offend anyone.. but... I haven't been to a store since March 11th and I really just wanna go shopping. I've got a whole list of baby supplies we need, I my kid could use some new coloring books and doll clothes... I'd like a new pair of black flats because my standards are a few years old and could use replacing.. I just wanna go out and go shopping. I just feel like some retail therapy would be really nice right about now.
Also I'd like to get a Bubble Tea and have a donut or fancy pastry. I'm feeling a little stir crazy and cooped up today.
@RedBaramid I can relate! I miss my weekly grocery run. It was wonderful alone time, that j do not get these days. I've definitely done some online retail therapy, but the long wait times to get those items is really making it not quite as effective!
I am just so tired from juggling all my roles. My husband is still going to work. I am grateful that he is still able to earn money during this time but it is so mentally taxing to be mom and teacher at home all day while trying to maintain cooking, cleaning, my crazy dogs, and getting a workout in each day! Once we get to early June, I can at least take a break from the teaching and then it will be maternity leave when school starts up again! So that is something to look forward to.
@RedBaramid I feel you girl. I would love to go to a store right now. I'm jealous my husband can go out to the store. I hate having to make him a list of things we need, not being able to roam the store to waste time, I miss going into the office...this shit is hard! My husband was saying how I have a mask I can go to the store with him, this was after my breakdown, and I told him no. If I get sick or get anyone else sick it would be hard to forgive myself, especially if they had a bad reaction to the virus. I'm telling myself I can look forward to free sometime in the summer, even though I won't be able to travel where I want to then. But until then I'm looking forward to the beautiful warm days that I can be outside. And in all honestly, I'm still going to be super cautious over the summer, because this will not be gone by summer, but I will enjoy the freedom a little more knowing that things are hopefully getting better. Until then amazon and target's website are my new virtual stores that I get to roam for hours without being bother by any other customers

@RedBaramid I'm right there with you. I don't leave my house either. My husband does let me sit in the car with him sometimes if he's just running to Target for cat litter or to FINALLY let me get a burger for takeout, but I haven't talked to another person in person in weeks. As an introvert, I'm starting to hit my breaking point. I miss stores, and I miss shopping in person even if I don't buy anything. I miss just getting a Dunkin Donuts coffee whenever I want. My online ordering has been out of control lately between buying things for the baby, maternity/postpartum stuff for me, and the random things we've needed to restock while stuck at home.
I found out yesterday that I am going back to work on Monday after 5 weeks of being furloughed. I am excited to finally have something to do during the day, but worried about providing good therapy to my clients via teletherapy. Also, we had to buy a new laptop for me to be able to do this (my current computer is so old that Zoom won't work on it) and I am SO excited to maybe sit in the car and go for a drive to pick it up from the store tomorrow.
@RedBaramid I totally understand,
I do go out to the shop as my husband is supper busy with work, but I still
would like to go for a coffee and just be normal again.
In the UK people
keep comparing it to WWII. One of my parent’s patients (they are pharmacists) told
them this the other day. He was in his early teens in the war and he said that
this is nothing like the war at all. Yes, there was rationing and they couldn’t
get things but they could go out, go to the movies, go to a café, see their
friends, in fact everyone was encouraged by the government to be social. We are
currently living through a massive social experiment that has never happened
before, yes there may have been worse times in history but that does not mean
that it’s plain sailing for people now.
I was worried DD had a UTI so we had to take her to the dr. Dh ended up taking her in (They were encouraging only one parent to attend if possible) and getting her to pee in a cup bless him. they said things looked ok so we’ll just wait and see. I just got my pregnancy pee strips in and I tested her pee and it looked ok so I can’t say I’m shocked. They think it could be some constipation issues.
@RedBaramid Ugh, I know. I miss shopping so much! I had no idea I actually even liked shopping until it wasn't an option. Even grocery shopping! Online is just not the same; there are so many great kid/baby shops and second hand stores locally and it is SO fun to browse. /Sigh/ And I really want Starbucks.
@cornichonmam DH and I were talking about this the other day; no one alive has ever been through anything like this! My grandmother was in college during WWII and said it was actually one of the most enjoyable times in her life (aside from several friends and classmates being killed, of course). To be fair, the US definitely had a different experience than the UK during WWII, but still. This situation just affects EVERYTHING.
On the plus side, tonight is the second full day DD has gone without "numnums." I don't know if this makes her OFFICIALLY weaned or not, but we'll see. Actually it's kind of bittersweet; I never planned to extended BF, but here we are, over 2 years later. It will be nice to have a break though, even if it is only a couple of months...
@hypermusic congratulations on your BF Journey! I made it 20m with dd not expecting to go that long but it just made sense and worked for us. I truly hope I get to BF this babe.
@RedBaramid I am right there with you! On my 2 previous mat leaves the only thing that kept me sane was getting out once a day, even if it was just to browse Winners. Just to see other people, make idle chit chat with the cashier, buy something, etc. DH is doing all of our grocery shopping so I only get out for appointments. (I had a busy week this week - anatomy scan Mon, quick midwife appointment Tuesday, blood draw on Thursday - crazy stuff hahaha!) I need a new daytime face moisturizer and I’m likely going to have to rely on DH to pick me something (since I didn’t love the one I just used up and want to try to find something less greasy). Ugh. Should be interesting!
@hypermusic I am going through the same thing here! DD2 is losing all interest in “babas” and I’m a little sad because she’s only 13 months old but also a little grateful because it was getting painful and I could use a break before the next baby arrives. I’ve read that around 5 months your breastmilk switches from what current baby/child is used to into a more colostrum type milk for new babe so the taste changes and babies/kids often lose interest around that time. I think that’s what’s happening over here. When I was 4.5 months pregnant with DD2, I finally weaned DD1 who was 2.5 at the time so I’ve had very little break for my babas over the last few years. Haha. Congrats on making it 2+ years!
@laur84ns have you checked out Sephora for a moisturizer? They have 10% off and free shipping at the moment plus I really like the free samples you get with each purchase.
I would personally never trust my husband to pick out a moisturizer for me lol 😂 that’s just me though!
@laur84ns I don't even trust my Hubby to buy my contact solution that I've been using for a decade let alone a moisturizer LOL Maybe research before and send pictures @RedBaramid YES I miss walking around for an hour and not buying anything, random trips to old navy or target. Even just going to Kroger only for a very specific pickle. I can't wait to be freeeeeee
So I've noticed the past week or so when I get the daily alert from The Bump about X amount of weeks and days until you meet baby that it is making me a little anxious to see the time ticking down. At first August felt so far away but now I feel like I don't have as much time left to get ready as I thought. I'm sure it's partly bc doing projects and working on the to-do list is a lot more complicated these days than it was when I first put it together. I had "lunch" yesterday with a bunch of pregnant co-workers, and most of them are due a bit earlier than me, but they said they had already started assembling their postpartum kits, which made me want to do the same, though hopefully I have quite a while before I need it 😂 Anyone else feeling this way?
@rivercitynik Not thinking about the postpartum kit yet but definitely feel like time is flying by fast. In the beginning counting the weeks was painful slow but now I can't believe that I almost in my last trimester.
I liked reading everyone's comments about vehicles! I was looking at a VW Touareg (my husband is a big VW/Audi guy so he will do all my maintenance if I have a VW). It seems that dealers have limited availability, and I'm just waiting for the right one to come along at this point. I don't want to finance because we're in the middle of a mortgage refi, so I was looking for something I can afford to pay cash for
August definitely doesn't feel far away at all, really it's just a few short months!
@wishesshecouldcook my daughter has a kidney issues that make utis dangerous and struggles with constipation. If you need any tips with either I’m here. We are currently changing stuff up for my daughters constipation meds and routines.

@rivercitynik I love seeing the time get closer and closer to August. I have nothing ready for this baby yet and I have moments of panic, but then I just think that they don't need much when they are first born and I know we will get the necessary things done before he get's here. I feel like once I get the crib pieces that I'm missing from the company then I will feel more motivated to get things done. That was the fun part for me, getting the crib set up. I feel like the baby's room is centered around that.
@wednesdaygirl1019 I'm excited that you are getting back into work. I miss talking to people as well. I had someone call me yesterday and she was like, sorry for bothering you and I told her that she is keeping me entertained so feel free to talking. We ended up having a great conversation. I need more people like her to call me during the work day.

I found myself thinking how quickly the rest of this pregnancy I feel like is going to fly by!
DH finally got to feel nice strong kicks from the outside, so that is fun! And we are busy nesting in our own way; glad that's happening pretty majorly now so it can just be finishing touches and final preparation when the time comes. There's really not much we "need" for this baby, so that's a huge relief, more just getting the house in order for DD and helping her get into a good big-kid routine before baby brother or sister arrives.
I also caught myself thinking today how nice to just be able to relax and enjoy the last of our one-on-one time.... Before this little party crasher shows up! :D
@sarah0985 thank you! It’s a bit perplexing because she has pretty regular BMs but she’s clearly a little backed up. She pooped 3 times yesterday and I gave her an extra probiotic gummy today and she’s gone 3 times today. Hoping to turn a corner. Still having a lot of urges to pee but not always successful. Trying to keep an eye on things.
@rivercitynik YES the first half of this pregnancy went so slowly, and now I feel like it's almost over. I think because of the morning sickness, exhaustion, etc. I couldn't wait to be done with the first trimester. And then I wanted to do the anatomy scan to feel more confident about everything. And now that we've reached viability the only milestone left is delivery. And as excited as I am for her to be here, I'm very nervous about how it's all going to go down with so much uncertainty in our lives right now.
Just reading these comments is making me excited and a little anxious about how soon August will be here! This is our second so while I feel less stressed than if I needed to start from square one, I do feel like I need a few things and I want to get a few things done in our okay room which will become my son's room. I just need the school year to end so I can devote my summer months to some of these bigger projects.
@laur84ns You are brave to let YH choose your new moisturizer. Any chance you can order one online? Sephora is currently having 10% off through 4/27. I just placed an order. They are saying it won't arrive until May 15th, but maybe it will sooner?

@blackgirlmagic I keep trying to remind myself I really don't need much to be ready...just need to keep telling myself that anytime I get anxious. When will your crib pieces arrive? I still have no idea when my crib is coming, but the rug, lamp, dresser, and bookcase I ordered should all be here by next weekend 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 so I think even having those pieces in the nursery will help me feel way more settled.
@rivercitynik It's funny you bring up postpartum stuff. My DH's dad-to-be book suggested we start preparing a hospital bag and postpartum stuff in the 24 weeks chapter (which we read last weekend). I also thought it was a bit early to start planning that stuff, but I guess now that I've reached viability there's more of a chance of this baby coming than ever before. I've watched a few Youtube videos and put some stuff in a secret wishlist on Amazon to buy probably sometime in June.
The dresser arrived for the nursery today after 3 weeks of waiting in shipping limbo! I am so excited to peek at it tomorrow (it's currently in the box in our garage "quarantining.") And I get to finish painting the nursery tomorrow. Time just feels like it's going so slowly but super fast all at once.
I finally bought
something for this baby this week. I got two sleepsuits to take to the hospital
one newborn size with bees and one 0-3m with elephants and rainbows. I had to
make sure I got a larger size too as DS was 9lb2oz.
We don’t
need much of this baby other than the extra seat to make out pushchair a double
buggy. I did have a realization today that I’m not sure how I’m possibly going
to fit two lots of clothes into my sons’ tiny room. We were going to move
before we had this baby but were just going to have to make do in the meantime.

I did have a realization today that I’m not sure how I’m possibly going to fit two lots of clothes into my sons’ tiny room. We were going to move before we had this baby but were just going to have to make do in the meantime.
