Pregnancy Christmas Hangover

[thelittleredm]

My hips are killing me. My office chair sucks so bad >.<

[mustloveerica]

The correct way to put away Christmas decorations: go to work, leave husband at home, come home from work to find all decorations put away and all furniture put back in place.

they're so so expensive! We got ours at an awesome price because someone had returned it to Target

I bought the half price bouncearoo, i may try out one of my friend's mamaroos before I drop that money.

Definitely try it out. DS1 was not impressed by the one my friend had and preferred his swing. Watch, DS2 will rather a mamaroo 🙄

I keep waking up Mh with my coughing. Maybe he will go sleep on the couch soon

mustloveerica, I'm jealous. I'm just aiming for the tree to be out before it turns brown.

I'm dreading taking our tree down. I was terrible about watering it this year. Every time I touch it a thousand needles fall off.

Same here. Getting in the floor to water it was just not happening and H was terrible at remembering, too.

[onesweetworld]

H is anal about watering our tree but I don't want to take it down because it's pretty

Having a baby today W? Or are you thinking 2017?

[mustloveerica]

Hi ladies! I'm starving to death today. I've already eaten mot of my lunch and snacks and it's only 10:00 😔

I need recommendations/inspiration on what to wear for a winter baby shower. My first shower is coming up at the end of January. Dress? Dress and leggings? Sweatpants? And where to shop? Anyplace I can buy online and return to store is great. So pink blush is out because I have no idea on sizing and I don't want to deal with returns by mail.

It's not little Christmas yet, why are all the trees coming down

something with layers. You'll be moving around, hugging people, up and down, etc. Maybe a dress with leggings but with a sweater over it that you can easily take off? Or a scarf you can take off?

Good call! I get over heated extremely fast. Maybe no leggings then since it'll be inside. I'm findings lots of knee length dresses on Motherhood that look ok.

We normally leave ours up until after New Years. But DH is home the week so I'm taking advantage of that so he'll do all the work 😊

[easilyunamused]

I'm dreading putting the Christmas stuff away. Sounds overwhelming right now. Luckily we only have a mini tree this year, that sits on our table.

we try to but I wanted to get our PNP/mamaroo/baby stuff out and ready to prepare (and especially for the dogs to get used to)

With the crazy amount of new baby stuff + all the Christmas decorations I felt hard to breathe a little in my house    

I think you qualify for a pass here...

[easilyunamused]

Can someone come over and tackle my huge to-do list? 1st tri exhaustion is really kicking my ass. I just want to stay snuggled with my pup on the couch all day.

But I guess I'll take it over extreme morning sickness.

I got a Jessica Simpson dress at Destination Maternity for my January shower. I've already worn it a few times. I think it will work well because it's flattering, not too hot, goes with tights or bare legs, and has some pink in it to match shower decorations

I know! I really enjoy Christmas decorations the week between Christmas and New Years. And my town doesn't do tree pickup until the second week of January, so I just keep it up till then.

I'm gonna keep mine up until it is just minutes away from spontaneously combusting.

Just something to consider (but you may be much classier than me): I had a hard time keeping my legs closed in a dress during my bridal shower because I had to do it for so long as I opened gifts.

So this go around I wore pants. It's harder to be proper with a pregnant belly!

lol I kept my legs crossed at the ankles like a proper lady for my bridal shower. Also I'm short so "knee" length for me actually goes below my knees. But definitely something I'll consider!

Checked out daycare number 2 today. It's really nice and I loved the two infant teachers we met. But they require a 3 day minimum and I only want to work 2 days. So I don't know if I want to pay more for daycare just because I like it when I could pay less at a place that doesn't require 3 days. There's a few left on my list yet so we'll see.

Had a serious craving for sushi, so I'm having lunch by myself at the sushi bar in town. Bad pregnant Amber. 😳

I've had sushi too many times to count this pregnancy.

[onesweetworld]

You are not a bad pregnant lady akraus2015. I fully support your sushi eating. Along with my blue cheese and occasional cold cut eating.

I'm working with a head cold with my least favorite cw. Can I go home now?

It was so delicious. My miso ramen was the biggest bowl of soup I've ever seen. I'm going to have leftovers for days.

[thelittleredm]

akraus2015, That is a lot of soup! I feel fortunate when my tiny bowl of miso soup comes out with more than three pieces of tofu.

My office chair is the worst. There are no positions sitting in it that make my back stop hurting or even just hurt less. Standing hurts, too, but maybe I'll go walk around and give it some relief.

Statistically turkey and queso fresco are the problem children
