  • @csardaszz Soups tend to freeze well! I like making big batches of Minestrone, Italian Wedding, and Butternut Squash soup and freezing it in portions. Lasagna freezes well too. Same with chili. I plan on freezing a bunch for the first month after the baby is born, too. Otherwise I know we'll be doing tons of takeout!

    @bigworldlittleg Ah! You just reminded me of the butternut squash I cooked the other day! It shall become a soup! I love all of your suggestions, a bonus about freezing soup is it takes up less space than casserole-type dishes.

    @babywiik I like surprises! I will admit, though, that itโ€™s getting tricky to think about names (just picking one is hard enough, let alone four!) and talking to my daughter about her โ€œlittle brothersโ€ฆ or sistersโ€ฆ or bothโ€.

    I've been getting out of breath much more easily since three months now. There's got to be something with the hormones too. I could walk 5-6 miles without having to rest a single time and now I usually catch my breath somewhere in the first half mile to full mile on the same roads. In my defense, at least it is uphill on forest roads.

  • Iโ€™ve been MIA lately due to work being extremely busy and hectic. By the time I got off work, I didnโ€™t even want to look at any kind of screen. Finally, things are starting to slow down.ย

We've moved walls, built walls, replaced windows and doors, rerouted hvac ducts, and set up for an additional bathroom downstairs. I'm so ready for finished spaces that are simple to clean! One step at a time - we are so close to mudwork, paint, cabinets, and flooring!

  • @millygolitely oh that sounds like fun! We definitely want to go one as well. We are trying to save as much PTO to add on top on maternity leave, so that makes it a little difficult. We are considering a short trip to the beach because I can definitely use the relaxation while listening to the waves.ย

Rant: got jury duty summons and I actually would be so interested to go but itโ€™s not a good time while pregnant / they would probably excuse me due to pregnancy anyway. Will find out how that goes tomorrow when I email in with my pregnancy update. Rave: there is a work trip to a fancy resort in Quebec that I might actually go on in June - will wait to decide closer to due to covid risks and how I am feeling. Midwife said no worries for short flight at that time, considering my low risk pregnancy at this point.ย

    why did the plane crash?

    because the pilot was a loaf of bread!

  • @millygolitely That joke is so bad ๐Ÿคฃ I told it to my husband.
  • @wiseh congrats on the job, how exciting!

    @lucyg00cy it's insane that they're annoyed with you for skipping an in-person meeting given that your company just saw a major outbreak. Sorry to hear you're dealing with idiots!

    @kboydbowman good luck with the name game! Any progress on talking him into something sane?

    @dvmmama https://www.rocketcitychiropractic.com/10-piriformis-stretches-to-get-rid-of-sciatica-hip-and-lower-back-pain/ isn't pregnancy-specific and you might want to skip/modify any stretches that sound like a bad idea, but I've been relying heavily on a lot of these.
