Rave - I went and bought a bunch of smaller maternity clothes today. While it was hard emotionally to admit I needed them, it's really nice to have some clothes that fit and make me look pregnant instead of fluffy.
@babymakes9. Hopefully you can find someone and still go away. We are in a similar boat with our ten year anniversary very soon. When we got married, we said we would go to Italy for our ten year. Well now I will settle for a B&B less than an hour away. Just something a little different and again no dishes!
@the_road_to_oz Look at you rock star with eating two whole meals!!!! I am so excited for that and hope it continues! My mom sent me some clothes from H&M, but I don't remember anything too complicated. I don't think they were nursing tops though and I end up with an undershirt under them. Just a little too much cleavage for my taste.
@jchpg. Someday once this virus is done, I will get back to my massage therapist. I look forward to it! Good idea though!
@the_road_to_oz I'm so sorry for your loss. I wish everyone would take COVID more seriously.

I actually hate items (chalk it up to 10 years in an NYC apartment) so I’d probably spend it all on travel. But I’d really spend it on buying a couple houses - one here to live in and one vacation home somewhere cool. I wouldn’t call those frivolous, though...
rant- DD boycotted her PM nap both weekend days - I was really counting on a nap myself at those times. I think she might be starting a sleep regression
rave - I got new bras from Target and they are SO comfortable! (the True & Co wireless ones, if anyone else is in the market)

Just had one today, next monthly is Aug 24, then I start going every 2 weeks!
Good overall. Feeling my hip joints starting to loosen. Still heart palpitating. I brought it up again to my OB today and she recommended I contact my GP to get checked out since they seem to be pretty intense and bothering me so much. I put in a message for an appt so we'll see what happens.
Rave: I just send the email to the preschool/daycare director that our DD will be going back starting next week! I'm so excited for her! and for us...
Rant: I hate Covid.
Would you refuse to pee in a cup at your OB appt? Today I overhear some lady refuse to go pee in a cup for her appt, she was super pregnant, and was wearing a face mask and face shield. She said she wanted to minimize her exposure to things so she didn't want to use the restroom to leave a sample....if you're at that point, why show up to any appointment at all?
A private jet and a vacation house that comes with a personal chef and house cleaner, somewhere tropical so we could jet set outta here without worrying about public transportation and take a nice long vacation away from everything.

AMH test came back at .081. Was going to move on to IVF with DE, but have decided not to. Will be leaving it up to the universe now.
ETA - It’s not frivolous but it’s totally worth it lol
Also, I’ve had some heart palpitation issues too. I got an EKG which was normal but they said if I kept getting them they’d send me home w a monitor for a week to get a longer reading. Wouldn’t be surprised if that was in your future. Hope they figure it out and all is ok though! They really are super uncomfortable so I feel for ya!
totally agree with the vacay home, and i’d want both a beach house AND a place in the PNW, but I feel like those are great investments, and not frivolous enough!
my frivolity would definitely be in the form of purchasing v fancy art & fashion. I would not hold back on any of it. There are some major pieces of art that I would die to have.
Rants/Raves: Got an email yesterday about an infant spot available at a daycare in our town!! Hallelujah! We have a zoom appointment tomorrow afternoon to tour the school and find out more about their program! But it's a huge relief that we at least have a spot somewhere!!
I am LOVING everyone's responses to the GTKY question - so many fun things to daydream about

Rant: my mom is driving me crazy about our registry. She thinks everything is too expensive even though it's all normal priced stuff and we're registering for unnecessary things. I swear we have about 1/4 of what all the checklists say we should be asking for. I'm trying not to let it bother me, but a time like this is when I wish I could talk about this stuff with my mom instead of getting a judgy attitude about every decision I make.
A boat! Oh, and a house on water to use the boat! Also, all the pieces of the crib bedding we love instead of just the blanket because the rest is too expensive! 😂
