So what is everyone up to today?
I just went and rented our clubhouse for the shower and put in a call for my student loans. Now its cleaning time, boooo! But sadly I'm way behind because of a busy weekend, but it was worth it I got to see a good friend while he was in town. He lives in texas and is shipping out to Korea for his deployment next month so it was nice to spend the afternoon with him and some family. Just wish the little helper elves had been working in my absence.

That's great you were able to see your friend before he left!!
Nothing special for me today - work as always. Making myself a to-do list for this weekend since I really need to at least get out and buy the car seat.
PSA to the group: I got a catalog in the mail from BRU yesterday. Looks like they're having a big sale starting Friday including breastfeeding/pumping supplies buy one get one 50% off!
Looks like a good weekend to pick up the rest of the Medela supplies I need too!

I am anxiously awaiting my ultrasound today at 2:30. I'm just so excited to see him mostly cooked and a little nervous. I'm hoping everything looks good and I don't get any bad news (like "your placenta is crap we need to take the baby soon.") With DS1 my placenta started calcifying around 34-35 weeks.
I'll probably AW it up in here with some ultrasound pics in a bit
I've been crazy busy lately, between HOA stuff and trying to get work to a point where I could drop anything at any time AND trying to get my continuing credits done for my certification by the end of August. Plus trying to enjoy my summer at least a little bit.
Last night we got a practically new car seat for free! A neighbor of ours was cleaning out their garage and getting rid of some stuff last week and when I ran into her at a HOA meeting she asked me if I wanted the infant seat they'd gotten for their youngest (she's 18 months). They bought it brand new, and I trust her when she says it's never been in an accident, so I said heck yes. Plus MIL sent H a text that her friends bought her a rocking chair at her Grandma's Shower they threw her.
So now H and I just need to go get a crib and a dresser/changing table. H did admit last night that we should probably start the painting/decorating process before his mom gets here so we don't have to argue about why we're not painting her room pink. He wanted to try and paint a castle on her wall for her. I suggested we look at the vinyl decals for something like that, but if he wanted a castle we could definitely do that. I already registered for a bunch of decals that are forest themed, so an enchanted castle in the midst of a forest would totally work.

Hi everyone! I had the brilliant idea to the C on a short hike this morning with my mom. Well my gas light came on, on our way there. I got lost on a network of narrow dirt back roads and didn't have cell service. Luckily we made it back to a small convenient store that let me use their phone to call AAA. So we waited and got the gas an hour later. So we never ended up hiking. Crappy morning. I have my weekly appointment this afternoon. Hopefully that goes better than our morning did.

So I'm hosting SILs baby shower at my house on August 13. My other SIL and I have been planning, things are going along nicely. Well.... Apparently there are a lot of spouses that want to come (mainly immediate family). We asked SIL what she thought and she wants them there. So now we have to make even more food. I'm stressing over this but DH and SIL tell me it'll be fine. Come one guys!! Rules. They were NOT invited. And it's going to completely change the dynamic of the shower. I'm sure it'll be fine and I want SIL to have the shower she wants but stillllllllll.

I say this out of ignorance for your budget for the shower. That said, my BFF hosted my sprinkle co-ed (I think there were about 20 guests here). She was able to keep it really affordable with a BBQ theme of pulled pork in the crockpot, stouffers mac n cheese, homemade slaw, watermelon, and green bean casserole.
ETA- uber obnox of SIL for pulling an audible like that

She said: "don't make any more food than you were planning on... The guys can fend for themselves" but obviously that's not really an option... So I'm just going to bite my tongue and be a good host. It'll likely all be fine (my mantra for the next 3 weeks).
Hi everyone. My anxiety is bad today. I don't know what is going on but the closer and closer I get to the due date it is spiking. Plus the shortness of breath I'm experiencing isn't helping.
H spent a bunch of time last night explaining to me that he's not against Baby K having pink clothes and a pink room because he's against her being a girl. He just doesn't think that girls need everything pink unless they like pink that much.
After about 10 minutes I just looked at him and asked who he thought he was explaining himself to, because I've been anti-pink since the first moment we found out we were having a girl.

It was good! She spent a lot of time stressing and getting annoyed with/complaining about the smallest details up through the parent dances after dinner, but once the real dancing started it was a lot of fun!! It ended up not being nearly as hot as originally expected too so that was a really nice surprise!!
Only thing I didn't like about the day was my makeup, which was way too heavy and I hated it, but otherwise it was a great wedding. Made it though the evening no problem, although I paid for it the next couple days. Hips are finally feeling back to normal trying to get up and out of chairs!

Ultrasound went great Placenta looks good and I have plenty of amniotic fluid. He's going to be large like his brother and has a full head of hair! He's still in breech position but my doctor isn't worried as he still has plenty of time to flip.
Little fingers waving hi.
Edit: also I could see him practice breathing. It was so cool!
Not much going on. I've learned today that Nordstrom customizes any of their bras into nursing bras. She also told me that they had a few nursing bras they kept in the back.
