Do we have randoms? 3/14

[Crisco Salad]

I'm laid out on the couch with suspected food poisoning. MH is cleaning out our pantry and J is running around like a maniac.

Have you tried a pregnancy support belt? It has helped me a ton.

No but it'd be worth a try. She must have moved a bit last night because it is a little better today. Any belt recommendations?

I picked one up from Motherhood Maternity. I don't even remember the brand name. I know you can get one on Amazon also, which is what I would have done if I wasn't in a rush at the time.

...where is everyone?

ETA: just that it's slow, I'm not trying to stalk anyone...

Slow start to our day here. I'm up with DS and H is still sleeping, but he took most of DS's wake ups last night so he needs it.

Today I have to do some food prep and shower, we'll probably also go for a walk since it's supposed to be relatively nice out today. Yesterday we did a ton of running around.

I was solo with DS yesterday while DH has his car worked on and ran some other errands.

Today we made pancakes and need to do some cleaning and meal prep for the week

[MissSally]

DH is taking DD to a hockey game and I think I'm going to stop by Gymboree and Homegoods. And then a nice nap. I'm pretty excited

Is anyone else's lower back positively killing them?! Lo must have switched positions to posterior (when my belly majorly shrunk) and ever since then my lower back pain is awful! Sleeping is uncomfortable, sitting is excruciating, nothing seems to help!

I've been having excruciating back pain since about 16 weeks. It's been awful.

Sorry for those sick and hurting. I hope everyone enjoys their day.
Yesterday we had a birthday party down the road. It was nice to be able to walk down there vs our normal 30 minute drive to parties. However chasing ds2 all around proved to be exhausting after our long walk/bike ride during the morning.
I had nursery during church this morning and had a new little baby. It was so fun just rocking him. I can't wait! After church my Mom and Dad took the kids and I to Outback. I really don't like that place, but I didn't have to cook. Now I just finished cleaning the floors and am going to design ds2 shirt for his birthday so I can got his invitations ordered. Then we are going to a huge charity event this evening. It's all the yummy food and all the yummy drinks for dh. We haven't been in a few years and are so excited.

For all the ftm when are you having a shower?

[MissSally]

babywisher I'm not a ftm, but DD is 7 and from a previous marriage, so my MIL is throwing me (a much appreciated) shower on April 30th. I'm so thankful, because I have nothing saved, plus everything has changed a ton!

[babywisher]

This is what we are doing now

[babywisher]

Basically I'm just trying to trow some posts out there!

Mine are April 29th (29 weeks) and May 7th (30 weeks).

[murran13]

@memeliz1 glad I'm not alone but sorry you're in so much pain!

babywisher so cute!! Also, not a ftm but in our church and around here you typically have a shower for each gender - so since I have a son and am pregnant with a little girl, we'll have a shower again. It feels a little weird because I know there's a stigma some places about just wanting more gifts, but most people want to celebrate with us and those that don't... well they don't have to come!

Mine is going to be June 3rd. A bit close considering she's supposed to be here by July 8th but I wanted to get it as close to the end of the school year as humanly possible so I could take the time to get everything organized how I want it without having to worry about coming home exhausted from my kiddos 5 days a week

I can feel my gait starting to change, not waddling, but getting wider.

+1. Also when I'm sitting, too. My legs tend to spread out more than normal.

Me too.

I have some kind of sinus pain on the left side of my face. I took a Tylenol to see if it would take the edge off and it didn't help. If it's still bad tomorrow, I'm going to call the nurse and see what else I can take.

I totally waddle when my back hurts or he is especially low. I've embraced it.

Mine will be May 20th, but it's out of state so I didn't want to do it too late. I'll be 30 weeks.

[babywisher]

I love showers. I'll be waiting to hear all about them from you ladies.

Regarding wadding...it is starting to happen here.

I'm having 3, which sounds totally crazy. My work shower will be on my birthday, May 2nd. We get out for the summer May 26th, so they didn't want it to be in the crazy end of year rush.

My MIL and SIL are doing a shower where I live now on June 24th. My mom will do one for my family 2 hours away in my hometown one of the two weekends before that.

My friends are throwing me one too. DS is 10 and from a different marriage. Half the stuff now didn't exist 10 years ago and a lot of the gear we used like cribs, car seats and other things would be illegal now if I had kept them haha!

We bought most of our gear already but I know friends and family love having an excuse to shop for cute baby things like clothing and toys.

[juliayadda]

My shower is on April 22nd! Which is less than a month away!
