Slightly busy day over here today. We had a visitation for my DH's best friends mom, who was also the best friend of DH's mom before DH's mom passed. I was hesitant about talking DD, but we kept her away from the front where the coffin was and it was fine. After that we went grocery shopping and now it's sweet, glorious nap time. I think I'll take a nap soon myself. Swim lessons are this evening.
We told DD that I'm expecting, but she doesn't really get it. She just turned two in May, so I think she will start to understand as I get a belly and she gets a little older.
Last time we registered at Babies R Us and got a great completion discount.
Also, we won't be having DD and the new baby share a room. We have three rooms, so DD's room will have to double as the guest room when we have visitors, but it should be fine.
Also, I think it's @pibblesmom that I owe a thank you to. I wound up bringing home some cookies and cream ice cream from the grocery store and my slightly sore throat can't wait for it!
rinny , I agree NEVER APPROPRIATE TO ASK. I told my boss today, I've been getting weird smiles from other coworkers, all morning. word travels fast. also, I had sushi last night. all cooked, soooo delicious.
Ugh, it's not your boss' business to tell people either!
I don't know if I feel comfortable with one really.
ETA: H really thinks we should though so I don't know.
You may not have a choice in the matter if someone decides to do it anyway!!
I know that gives me a bit of anxiety. I'm hoping someone would ask for address of family/friends, so I could intervene. My sister asked the last time, I was ok with it last year.

I've tried catching up on this thread so many times already and I give up. So tired, the words are just mixing together and nothing is being retained.
So. I hope everyone is having a good day. Caffeine for those who need it, hugs for those who need them, and yays for anyone who has had good things happen today!
I plan on getting cooked sushi tomorrow! I cannot wait.
Sushi seems to be the only thing I crave. I try to stick to cooked stuff but I'm a sucker for raw tuna soooooo....
I'm a fan of both cooked and raw so I've got my bases covered! However this weather has me pining away for a gin & tonic. Maybe if I put some lime in my seltzer it will trick my brain. Sighs.

Good luck. All I want is beer as far as drinks are concerned. It's too hot for anything that'll make my head buzz.
I had my apt today, and I'm so happy- they are referring me to the same ob I had with DS after Sawyer and we are going to follow the same plan we had with him- which means shared care between the obs here and in the city, ultrasounds and nst's every second week from 32 weeks until induction at 37w! He worked so well with me, it makes me feel very comfortable knowing he will be my dr again this time. Funny moment- the dr was trying to find baby's hb and I was like "well, I usually find it over here" and so he looked over there and couldn't and I was like "can I find it? " and he had this little smirk on his face and he was like "yeah ok, try." (He had been trying for a few min) so I took the Doppler and found the hb in less than a min and he looked so shocked! Lol
Re bedrooms, we are building a new one in the basement for DD and then the two babies will be upstairs with us. Re shower, family threw me a very surprise one after DS and I already told them on no uncertain terms there had better not be one this time. I was so embarrassed last time.
Ffwc I totally eat sushi once in awhile. But only restaurant sushi.

Returned from the pool and I am so tired. We went right after our nap but I am still exhausted. I've been feeling a bit better energy wise but by no means normal. The house is a shit show. I can't wait until DH's semester is over next week. Poor man is stretched thin between full course load and full-time work. Also, I selfishly need him to do what I am too tired/ lazy to do.
heybulldog56 solidarity on the house. For me it's the little things adding up: dust, a little clutter here, never getting ahead on dishes/laundry. We have guests this weekend and I'm freaking out that the house isn't up to my normal standard. Mh doesn't see it and is all "place looks great!" What? No.

lakegirl, glad I'm not alone. It's not disgusting around here but it's by no means up to my standards. Our bedroom is so dusty. It's drives me crazy but when my choices are nap or clean... I go with nap.

You all make me feel so much better. I can't believe I was too chicken to join a BMB with DS. It's so comforting to know I am literally not the only one who is living off of Popsicles and napping rather than cleaning (among many other things).
Lovetits for solidarity on the house falling down around me. I feel like it'll be a while before I choose anything over napping. I agree heybulldog56, I am glad I joined a board this time, makes me feel a lot more normal.
+1 for house not being up to standard. Literally would die if company showed up unannounced.
I couldn't muster up the energy to make anything besides Annie's Mac and cheese for dinner. That's what DD wanted, so that's what we all ate. I looked over at DH and said, remember the days before DD when I used to make gourmet meals? I miss the days when I had the time to enjoyed cooking.

Catching up late in the day:
My nose is extra dry. Last time I had to buy a humidifier which helped a lot.
We have told D'S about the baby. He's 2 1/2 and understands fairly well. 2 of his dc teachers are pregnant so he gets it. He lives to lift up my shirt and say "no baby yet". He also kisses it and says goodnight to it.
I have started an Amazon registry, mostly just to keep track and keep an eye on items incase they go on sale.
I don't think anyone will be throwing a shower for me this time, which is fine by me. Traditionally in our group everyone brings a gift when they meet the baby for the first time (usually clothes or toys). Even at showers it's usually just small items given.
I do not like sushi.
My house is gross. And in case I'm not sure my toddler just told me "house is too messy".
I also do not feel like cooking. I've turned the oven on. That is as far as I've gotten.
I had a midwife appointment and all looks good with the baby. I'm anemic which isn't a surprise.
I'm also fighting with my boyfriend because he wants to move and I do not. Especially to a house twice the price of ours.

I had cereal for dinner, there was no way I was cooking or turning on the oven in this heat. Today's date really stuck out in my head July 6th, I couldn't remember why until a little while ago. "July 6, 1942, a few days ago father began talking about going into hiding."
That is the start to the play The Diary of Anne Frank, I played the role a long time ago and it was one of my favorite roles ever. I got to portray someone I admire and tell her story. We named DD after her too, in hopes she would go on living even after her death, as Anne Frank did. :-)
I love it ashtog! All my videos end like that too, baby smacking into something and I try to stop it before it happens so the grandparents don't see! 😂
