What’s everyone up to this weekend?

jessier19 · July 2021

First-trimester exhaustion hit hard yesterday. I managed to sleep for 10.5 hours and still I’m so tired I feel like I’ve been hit by a truck.

I'm trying to find something fun and safe I can do with the girls this weekend but all the fun kid stuff is still closed:/

hubby is taking our toddler on a play date and leaving me at home. I can’t decide if I’ll be productive or rest

MusicalFamily · July 2021

Telling my sister about the baby tomorrow when I see her.

also I feel that with it being our 3rd people don’t seem as excited

and_peggy · July 2021

I know it’s a bit early but is anyone interested in a giant thread for baby gear/maternity items, or a thread about baby names?

I started a GTKY thread but I didn’t want to just do a board take over with a bunch of random posts.

We went for a nice little hike by a stream this morning, 2yo is napping, I'll do a workout. This afternoon will be around the house, maybe the playground. Tomorrow mh will brew a beer and we will have a couple friends over in the afternoon. Very typical weekend for us

@v2hb My other BMB had a product spotlight thread once a week. (For example: strollers, car seats, baby wearing, etc.) We could do that so it’s more focused and easier to follow.

@musicalfamily I’m sorry that people don’t seem as excited about your third. It’s still so special and amazing! Good luck with your sister tomorrow. Let us know how it goes. ☺️

Panaceia · July 2021

@v2hb I'm up for ALLLLLL the posts:)

Panaceia · July 2021

@MusicalFamily I'm not even telling anyone about #3. I would gave usually told my sister and my parents by now...but nope. Depending in how the furst ultrasound and NIPT go I *might* tell them around 12 weeks after the NT scan. I know my sister will be excited but I feel like my mom will have opinions....

jessier19 · July 2021

@v2hb I would love a gear thread and a baby name thread!

and_peggy · July 2021

@elle-0409 great idea!

and_peggy · July 2021

@Panaceia I am too. But I’ve been in enough BMB that I know some do not like a free for all board. Just wanted to check before I started posting!

Panaceia · July 2021

@v2hb OH yeah, I totally understand that:)

I am not sleeping well at all right now (insomnia, having to pee, etc), so DD and I are watching The Grinch this morning at her request. 🙂 I could be getting things done while she's watching, but nah.

goldfishcraker · July 2021

@MusicalFamily I feel ya.

This is our second, and we have had extremely lame reactions so far. I'm so disappointed.

My mom literally said "really?" When she saw my son's shirt. And that was it.

geminigirl16 · July 2021

@MusicalFamily I am also a bit reticent to tell people and hope to delay as long as possible. I don’t think anyone expects a third from us and with me being 41, I am not sure what the responses will be. I also think that some of our friends which we socialize with will no longer want to plan things with us with a new baby. My kids are already the youngest ones when we get together.

jlbaker08 · July 2021

@MusicalFamily @goldfishcraker when I told my mom she said "how do you know?" "Have you told Chris? (MH)" uh, the same way anyone knows? And duh, I told him first...
There was no celebration, just weird questions

jessier19 · July 2021

Pregnancy does not do good things for my relationship with my body. I'm so bloated and gassy that half of my clothes don't fit, and I just feel huge. It will get easier once I look visibly pregnant, but right now I just feel like I look like I've gained 10 pounds, all of it in my stomach, and I just really don't like that feeling. We were at the pool today with friends, and I just felt so self-conscious about how tight my bathing suit was.

Panaceia · July 2021

@geminigirl16 Once I hit my late 30s everyone just assumed we were going to be OAD and not have another. I'm sure no one expects us to have another now either now that I'm 42:/

@jlbaker08 I am not looking forward to telling my mom. She spent my entire pregnancy with DD2 saying I wasn't going to be able to handle 2 and she literally tells anyone who will listen that I wouldn't be able to survive parenting without her....which is the exact opposite of the truth. I can't even imagine the great comments I'm going to get from her this time 😒

@jessier19 This is so much me too. That is one of the reasons I'm avoiding ALL places that might contain people I know. Hopefully I'll be legit showing by the time work starts in September because I don't want my coworkers to just think I couldn't lose the pregnancy weight from DD2 during COVID.

Happy to see so much activity here! We were camping all weekend and didn't have service. Camping was fun but also hard with pretty constant nausea. I am still glad I went. It was my daughter's first time camping and she had a blast.

Crazy busy weekend here, so just catching up now. So exhausted. Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend!

MusicalFamily · July 2021

@elle-0409 @Panaceia @goldfishcraker my sister was excited

every baby should be celebrated and embraced just as the first one was
