I keep checking the weather for this weekend hoping the weather channel is playing a joke on everyone - my husband is running a half marathon tomorrow and it is supposed to snow at this point. Wtf!? It's May not October!

I started crying on the way to work listening to the new version of "the sound of silence". WTF. Is that even a sad song!? I don't even know! #hormonesFTW
Good luck pippacricket! At least you have a cute dress to wear!
As soon as the dresser box was opened the top was cracked, ugh!
Oh no, what a disappointment! I'm assuming you can return it by what a hassle and I'm sure you were excited to get something out together for the nursery too!

Yeah so annoying! Amazon is sending a replacement but the hassle is frustrating. Hoping the new one is ok!
Good morning guys. We have a busy day today. Two birthday parties. My friend's son's 5th birthday party this afternoon and this evening is my brother's 30th.

Those pictures are disturbing. Well whatever floats your boat I guess but I'll pass. I've also heard of delayed cord cutting where they wait a few minutes to cut so thr baby can get more nutrients from the placenta apperently it's a good thing to do if your baby is premature or something I'd have to go back and Google it to know for sure. I think I actually came across the article on pintrest of all places.

As for me just hanging out with my sisters today. Tomorrow if the rain breaks we might put another garden in the park office wrote us up for having the trailer with the materials on the yard, lame. DH and I decided to plant, make and freeze all baby food will need. That garden plus my mom's farm will ensure lots of good food and veggies to get all three of us through the winter while spending little money on store bought food. I think DH is even looking into buying a half cow and or pig so well have meat. I never really thought of going that far but if it allows me to stay inside most of the winter and avoid the cold, I'm all for it.

I've decided to skip yoga today and tour the birth center in the next town over. It's about a 20 minute drive, but the hospital is supposed to be really nice. They have doulas on staff, and massages after birth. The other two hospitals are about 5 and 10 minutes away though, so one of them might win out.

That is correct. Delayed clamping (until the cord stops pulsing) is now the standard for births at my hospital unless mom or baby needs immediate medical attention.

I'd be in heaven with a massage after giving birth! Of course, I actually didn't want anyone touching me for a bit since everything was so bloated from all the fluids I was on. Maybe 2 weeks after... :-)

We have a playroom for C in the basement next to our storage room. While he's been playing, I've been pulling out newborn/0-3 month stuff to move upstairs to the nursery - oh my goodness what memories all that brings back. I had his hospital outfit in the bag and held it up to him now (he's 2) and it's amazing he was once so small!!

We showed up about 10 minutes before the tour was supposed to start (noon). Nobody was there, and no sign with direction. We managed to flag somebody down and confirm with a nurse that yes, there was supposed to be a tour and directed to a seating area because the person running it wasn't in yet. We left at 12:15 because there was still no sign of anybody, and my son was getting cranky. We had planned to just have Mr. Z take him outside, but it was raining. Also, cranky pregnant me was annoyed. This was just a regularly scheduled group tour thing, so I think I might have to see if we can arrange something else. I don't know, maybe it's not worth bothering.
Went and did some maternity clothes shopping to make sure I don't look like a sloppy loser on my trip to corporate. Found jeans and slacks at Motherhood, but I really wasn't feeling the idea of paying $25 per top there.
On the plus side, if you sign up for their coupons, you get a goody bag. It had an Avent bottle in there, plus a ton of coupons and a bunch of gift cards to websites that I don't recognize but hey, it's free money.

Finally feel like I did something today to start getting ready for baby. I didn't actually buy anything but I picked out a stroller / car seat travel system I want, as well as a crib mattress, and potentially the crib and matching dresser!
I finally went bra shopping too. Went from a 34B to a 36D - no wonder I've been so uncomfortable!

H is driving me nuts with this stuff. He doesn't even want to start looking at stuff until like, late July or August. And he's against me (or anyone) buying her clothes because "we don't know what size she'll be".

OMG that would drive me crazy. Are you having a shower? If you do, you'll need to make some decisions before that time.

Ugh that's frustratung.
I went by myself. MH is super excited for baby, but really doesn't care about the details of what we buy. Plus he's busy finishing the basement. At first I was disappointed he didn't want to go, but it ended up not being a big deal to me.
