    @mrswheeler812 thanks for the tips! We may have to check our more Daniel tiger, we've only watched an episode here and there.  It's such a drag tho because she has a couple baby second cousins we haven't even seen since Christmas, and if weren't for all this stuff going on, it will be a great way for her to get used to being around a little baby more... :/

    @BusinessWife How old is your daughter? I think I remember that she is just a few months older than my son and I have not even thought about the transition to the toddler bed yet. I should probably get on that... 😳

    She is about 19.5 mos @riatortillaxo for us it made sense because she was only in a minicrib (and tall!) and also bc it is side-carred, it wasn't really safe anymore because she could crawl right through our pillow barricade! lol She was already accustomed to napping on her Montessori style floorbed in her room tho, so it was pretty easy to just give her a bigger floor mattress first, and of course she is busy climbing all over everything at this point, so I think she is ready.

    I was surprised to hear from a friend Lucy's list recommends waiting till closer to 3!  I had never heard that, but she has really never slept in a four walled crib (except for when she was under a year at daycare) and was easily cot trained in school at a year.  They say the floorbed helps them learn physical boundaries sooner, so maybe that has something to do with it?  Idk

    Where / how is your son currently sleeping?

    Lol @kgrgreen sounds okay to me!  DD is still keeping her room and we are not doing a separate nursery.  So if anything I am adding more wall decals (ETA that we already have) and setting it up nicer for a bigger girl to use and play in.  Baby may get a new portable bassinet in there (to replace the RnP), plus incorporating more of the hot air balloon element into the woodland design that never happened the first time i.e. new mobile. Possibly new decals. 🤷 That's about it! Lol

    The room already has neutral rug, gray chair, light teal ottoman, and cool mintish bluish greenish paint, so to me it doesn't make sense to make a whole major change until and unless both kids are bigger sharing the space <i>together</i>, at which point we may not even be in this house anymore.  Not worth a major expense or driving yourself crazy imho ;)

    @kgrgreen I’m assuming so. For my first test, I wasn’t  given any instructions to fast or anything. I just took it upon myself to have a *light* breakfast which was a coffee, banana, and a piece of whole wheat toast. When the nurse called she said the dr felt like the results were a false positive because the levels weren’t bad just slightly over. So to be sure she’s sending me back for a 2hr test with instructions to fast for 12hrs this time. I’ll be seeing my dr tomorrow so I’ll ask more questions, before I go for my 2nd test. I have read there are so many different tests happening for women taking their GT, I think it just depends on your Dr? some don’t even have to take the drink, they’re just doing bloodwork. 
    My sunburn is at the itchy stage, my knees drive me crazy at night 😂😂

    @blackgirlmagic Not sure if you are close to a Public grocery store. If yes, they have pretty good watermelon right now on sale.

    @bigbuttbecky We're planning on hiring a doula since I'd also like to minimize interventions and go as natural as possible. I think it'll be worth it even if she's only with us via phone or video. FTM, but I've heard nothing but positive things from parents who had one.

    @bigbuttbecky we used one, and she didn't exactly come cheap!  But her help was absolutely invaluable, as we labored together for a long time before finally going into the hospital.  if you are hospital is offering it affordably, I would definitely look into it!  Find out exactly what their services entail, because some of them will include postpartum visits etc. as well.
