Same. I literally want to go through every drawer and closet in my house!
Me too but the laziness is still stronger than the urge to purge. Three months until I have 2 kids and there's junk everywhere!!!
Haha this is me too. I get 10-20 mins into it and Ive just made a bigger mess than before. My house is totally upside down and it is driving me nuts!! But... Lazy.

mosdub I watched some YouTube reviews comparing the Halo with the Arm's Reach bassinet. It sounded like the firm folding side of the Halo was kind of annoying during the middle of the night, but otherwise people liked them both.
We ended up going for it and bought it (H was kind of passionate about it, I showed him several alternatives). Our room is really small and the crib we have will not fit next to our bed. We considered a rock n play but they are so low to the ground I would worry about our fat and curious cat along with our jealous and unpredictable dog being so eye-level with it.
The price-tag is ridiculous, but all the reviews say it's high quality so hopefully it's worth the money. I tried looking around our area for a used one but since the closest store that actually sells them is 3+ hours away there really aren't any around us.
This is our first babe, so who knows, maybe if there's a 2nd one we can make use of it again. If not, my SIL is due 4ish months after me and she could use it since our LO might be close to too big by then.
mosdub I'm still considering the halo. I don't really want the baby IN OUR BED though. Of course, just Bc it has the ability to do that doesn't mean I can't have it close.
We registered today, and I ended up getting a lot of more pricey items. I dont know, I waste money on all sorts of things so baby stuff never makes me feel guilty.
So cute your H is passionate about it. My H was similar about a second, lighter stroller. My feet started hurting me really bad, so I sat down while my H finished up the stroller stuff. His excitement over the second stroller. (Which was $400!!!) was so cute, I'm just rolling with it. He even said after we got home that he can't wait to use that stroller. So adorable.
In other news we FINALLY got all the stuff out of theirs apartment. Our new apartment feels so massive, I've never lived in a place this big other than my parents house.
And since I've been moaning so much I'll tell you guys the news. My grandma is gifting us a bedroom set for the baby. I'm very excited because this means we can get DS a bedroom suit as well.
mosdub we have the Halo and love it. DS was a super early roller so we only used it for 3 months and I still have no regrets about the money. Obviously using it again with this baby.
Santa is still terrifying. DS loves everybody but we barely got in the door today before he started crying, even though DH and I took turns holding him and didn't force him to sit on Santa's lap or anything. Hopefully they still managed to get a picture. Maybe next year haha.

I asked DD if she wanted to see Santa. She said "No, I too scared." At least she's self-aware I guess. At Easter she didn't want to get too close to the bunny.
obi I'm sure you've seen this floating around on the interwebs.
Yes! It sounds good and the Sioux leaders seem happy with it. I am reserving a healthy dose of skepticism but will celebrate the victory for now. Meanwhile in Canada our PM approved 2 pipelines recently despite making a lot of lofty commitments to environmental efforts and the FN peoples. Yeesh.

Also skeptical but happy about this little win! Our president-elect makes absolutely no commitments to environmental efforts/ FN people. Ugh, I'm dreading the next 4 years.
glb30 we watched a review video someone made of the Halo and due to the 360 swivel you can have it decently far away from the bed (like a foot or so) and simply reach-and-pull and it will swivel to the bed. I also didn't want the baby in the actual bed (I'm way too nervous about tossing a pillow in my sleep or something). Glad you guys sprung for it too!
I want to throw away everything I own omg. I am in such a mood to purge. I have decided that if I dont love it/it doesnt bring me joy, then it is out the door. Nesting for realz.
Catching up from the weekend but wanted to say this is my favorite pastime.

Me too! I've even thought of being a professional organizer...if that's even a thing.

A close friend from HS does this. She gets most of her work from small businesses that are about to move buildings or rearrange things, and from people who work from home. But she makes a good living doing this full time although it does mean some heavy lifting.

That sounds pretty great actually. Plus heavy lifting wouldn't even be an issue, it's my main for of exercise. 😝
