Merry Christmas ladies!!!! 🎁🌲🎁🎅🏻

Merry Christmas! In my family, we open gifts on Christmas Eve. So now I'm lounging around in my PJs enjoying the festivities without having to do anything. It's been a nice start to the holiday so far.

[notagoddess]

Also, I got so freaking emotional last night. Everyone was there with me and I'm finally having my baby. I was overcome and ended up sobbing and ruining my makeup right after spending forever putting it on. Pregnancy hormones!

[ellabee]

We do stockings in the morning and presents in the afternoon, so we're getting ready to go for a hike now. We'll see how far I make it 😂.

DH and I stayed up late assembling DDs play kitchen last night. I can't wait to see her face when she opens it. 😊

Merry Christmas preggos! ❤🎄

[silvermelody]

We let DS open a small amount of gifts last night and then the rest this morning.

We're just relaxing on the couch and will leave in a couple hours for my SIL's house.

Merry Christmas! I had a pregnancy hormone induced freak out yesterday, but the evening ended up turning out nice. We opened our family's present last night since work today and visiting family. At my mom's house now and it's is snowing like crazy.

Merry Christmas!

We open gifts with my family Christmas Eve, Santa gifts Christmas morning here at our house, and gifts with H's family at his parents as soon as we get done with Santa gifts. But we just took Santa gifts over this morning since it was a stupid early morning there. We always end up waking everyone up because no one else is up when we get there (at the set time, mind you) so we tried to get them to push the time to 9. Nope. Oh well. It was a good morning.

Ugh I'm miserable. We had a nice brunch with our family and now I'm just feeling like death and want to go to bed. I'm also struggling with nesting and just want M's room done.

Merry Christmas! Happy Hanukkah!

All the animals loved their gifts, and H and I got each other some great stuff (we mostly do small things, and then just plan a vacation). Chocolate gingerbread brownies are cooling, and I'm about to start cooking Christmas dinner. MIL sent some adorable booties, and other friend sent cute outfits. We're feeling very blessed, and I get all emotional thinking about next Christmas, when she'll be an outside baby.

Yep I had a meltdown in her room today that she will possibly be 8 months next Christmas

Yep. Mine will be almost one. DS was only 4 months for his first. Little girl will probably be cruising/walking if she's like him! Hard to believe. All the feels

Yep, I still get that way with DS1. He'll be almost 3 next Christmas 😭😭 this one will be 7-8ish months next year

Christmas dinner finished, back at our house and ready for a Christmas movie on the couch.

[icedtea]

We're watching Fred Claus. The mother in this is a jerk.

I'm not sure what we are going to watch. I can't watch A Christmas Story anymore. It reminds me of my dad too much. He would have it on for the entire 24 hours.

I think we may go with Home Alone (my favorite)

[nic1231]

Merry Christmas everyone. Just got home from the in laws. Ready for a nap and the holidays to be over.

[onesweetworld]

Nope....Christmas Vacation again....who knew

[nic1231]

We are watching grumpy old men lol

[thelittleredm]

Tonight, now, has been the best part of my weekend. Used a bath bomb I was given and gave my aching back and pelvis a break by taking a long hot bath and now I'm rolling around on my yoga ball watching H and DS put together his new train table from my parents. This is the most relaxed I've felt all weekend.

@wineandcupcakes, Good for you for not putting up with that fuckery. I say, if people are going to be ridiculous, leave them be.

[ladytiffany24]

Air mattresses and pregnant women do not mix. I had the worst night's sleep. And my hips are killing me. Looks like I might be giving my sister's couch a try tonight.

Our Christmas yesterday ended with a huge argument with MIL about how the girls will be going to daycare. She is adamant that daycare is the devil and she made me feel like the worst mother ever. She thinks I should quit my job and stay home, or my mom should quit her job to watch my kids. She doesn't understand that neither of those options are possible. So I left there in tears. For the record, I really have. O problem with daycare. We're going to look at 3 this week. I just hate when people tell me how to raise my kids when they aren't even born yet!!!!

This has me fuming for you. I don't know the woman, but what a bitch for saying those things and making you feel like a bad mother. Your girls will be so loved by you, their daycare teachers and everyone. And for the record, you will be the most amazing mommy to your twin girls! You do what's right for your family and that will be what's "right."

Thanks, girl! They love 1.5 hours away. I said "how about you come up everyday and watch them" and she goes "I can't because I watch all the other grandkids". Ok then, so daycare it is. Ugh.

+1 I'm sorry your MIL is being so terrible mustloveerica. It's none of her business, and I'm sure your daughters will thrive in daycare. 

[icedtea]

W fingers crossed for you today!

Sorry your Christmas ended on that note @wineandcupcakes, I wouldn't have gone either. No time for that nonsense.

I don't normally jump in here but wow, I can't believe your MIL said those things. I hope she backs off in future. Your girls will do great, be loved and cared for wherever they are.

Sorry for the family drama @wineandcupcakes & mustloveerica. I wish the holidays didn't bring out the worst in people.
