What I should be doing vs what I am doing

[Deleted]

I should be working on packing stuff up that we won't be using for the next week so the Realtor can take pictures on Tuesday and so it is less to deal with the day of the move.  What I am doing is sitting in front of my laptop enjoying a little bit of peace while DH and DS are still sleeping.  I also came to the realization that I should have remembered to either bring home the milk that I took to the other place last night because we are going to need more shortly after DS wakes up, but it's snowing and I really don't want to walk up to the gas station to get some right now.

If your putting stuff in boxes and taping it up. It could be loud. You could wake them up. So really your doing them a favor. Your welcome.

Can't help with the Milk though. That's rough.

[bibliothecary]

What I should be doing: helping shovel.

What I am doing: laying in bed, craigslisting for cheap baby stuff.

[allelsefaild]

What I should be doing: working

What I am doing: posting on here.

I'm on bed rest this weekend, so for once laying around in bed watching Netflix is what I SHOULD be doing! (Though I'd trade it for no bleeding in a heartbeat).

Biblio, anything good on Craigslist? I was looking on my areas site the other day, but most of the listings were for either used, expensive/fancy nursery furniture (which cost more second-hand than I'd be willing to pay for something new!), or "flipped" and redone artisan-type pieces, which were beautiful, but out of budget! We are going to re-use DS's crib, but the rocker and changing table need to be replaced (we were hard on them, they didn't hold up).

I am also on the IKEA app making a "baby girl list" for things like bedding, curtains, nursery decor, etc. (if we have a boy we already have everything from DS's nursery).

Meh, I'll get DH to walk up once he is awake.  There should be enough to get DS started this morning.

I'm trying to do the quiet things, like cookbooks and going through our junk drawers and getting rid of things we don't need.  You are right though, I risk waking them, haha!  Especially when one of the cats gets in the cabinet with the pots and then tries leaping out of said cabinet.  


ETA:  Spelling is hard.

I'm finding some decently priced cloth diapers and baby wearing stuff. For furniture, I know my best bet is yard sales. People overvalue their furniture on craigslist. At yard sales, they just want it gone.

I should be taking the pups out for a walk and shoveling before everything freezes. But when I look outside this is all I can think of and I don't wanna go.

Edit: words

What kinds of cloth are you going to use? I use ai2's/pockets and love them. My fave brand right now is Lalabye Baby and they have a b/s/t site on Facebook where you can get good deals too

[runningmommy519]

bibliothecary if you are interested there is a Facebook group called cloth diaper swap. People sell all kinds if cloth diapers.

[runningmommy519]

I bought and sold on there a few times

[daffodil428]

Should be: cleaning the house

Actually: sitting on the couch in my pjs snuggling my puppy while drinking coffee.

I'm getting different kinds. The best advice I've received is that no one cloth diaper is the end all and be all.

Yes please. Gimme a link?

[malelz]

What I should be doing: Getting ready for work.

What I am doing: Lying in bed because I called in sick. I'm not sick, just really tired and don't want to go. It's okay to have just one non-essential 'I'm pregnant and wanna stay home' pass right?

bibliothecary I am now going to surf Craigslist because that sounds fun.

[stephanie012]

bibliothecary I was just on groupon and they had cloth diapers on there as well. What is a good price for them? They had a 3 pack for $17.99

[runningmommy519]

bibliothecary I will apologize in advance to your DH because this will suck you in. haha

Depends on the brand, really. And how many inserts it comes with. Look up reviews to see if it's worth the money.

[runningmommy519]

bibliothecary I cloth diapered DS until he was about 2.5. Then we got lazy. If you have any questions let me know.

What I should be doing: heading to a photo shoot. I cancelled because of the weather, but the roads are perfectly fine now.

Just made a snowman with the girls and I'm looking up a new lasagna recipe because my craving is out of control. Oh and cuddled up on a blanket and checking the boards

I've gotten recently into bamboo and hemp inserts and have been a lot happier with them than I was with microfiber inserts. Much more absorbent. I'll send you a link if you'd like to the bst site I'm on?

What I should be doing: academic writing

What I am doing: drinking a Nespresso and sitting on the couch with my iPad without a valid excuse

[hopefulreturn]

What I should be doing: cleaning and menu planning

What I'm doing: lying down and playing on the Internet while trying not to vomit

There is an ad near me for an ergo with infant insert for $60 and I'm thinking about making an offer but I hear ergo isn't the best SSC for short people plus I might wait till after the NT scan next week to buy things.

I think favorite is a hemp and microfiber combo. DS peed a ton at once and the microfiber absorbed quickly and into the hemp.

Yes. And I should also be exercising...either walking on the treadmill, while playing forum or going to a new yoga class I found scheduled for this afternoon. Instead, I'm trying to dodge the vom train with you.
