HDBD with some randoms

[ladytiffany24]

Show off those bumps!

Also, it's going to be a rough day at work so entertain me!

[mustloveerica]

Morning! I'm only working a half day today. We have our monthly ultrasound this afternoon and yesterday I added up all my vaca/sick hours and realized I have a little more than 2 weeks. So I'm using half a day today. It's my reward for not taking any days off around Christmas I guess. Hopefully I'll have some pictures of the twins to AW later!

That's going to be me come next month! Once i move to biweekly MW apps, I'll be doubling up with my monthly scans for some for some of those and just doing half days then.

I did not go to work today. I'm currently sitting in urgent care waiting on my strep test results.

Oh no! Feel better!

I'm hoarding all of my sick, Vacation, personal and floating holidays for Maternity leave. H wants me to save them for camping trips in the summer and take my leave unpaid.

[onesweetworld]

I'm currently in line at DD to get my breakfast. H was bitching about my DD breakfast consumption so we can save for said unpaid mat leave.

Camping trips with an infant? You are brave!

My DD girl crush messed up my order on the computer and over charged me and she felt so bad I was like it's fine I'll be back tomorrow morning LOL

Our travel trailer is basically a small house but I'm still nervous about it.

Do not want to work today

I mean have you seen her RV? It's practically a house on wheels. It's no camping in a tent with an infant haha.

[PirateCat]

We might try camping with an infant depending on how well he sleeps. We'll need a bigger tent, or H can sleep on his hammock, which he might prefer anyway.

[PirateCat]

We have camped with our cats because we are crazy people.

A house on wheels definitely changes things a bit! Go for it onesweetworld!

I don't know that we will camp with the babies. But toddlers definitely. We went camping all the time when I was a kid. I want my kids to have those same memories. We have a HUGE tent I got from Prime da a few years ago. We only used it once so far but it fit 4 people and 2 dogs comfortably.

On the topic of camping trips/vacations. Are we crazy to think about going on vacation to the Outer Banks with DHs family in July? We would be sharing a house with probably 12 adults and 7 (including the twins) kids. Part of me thinks this is a great idea because we'll have lots of baby help. Another part thinks I will go insane with that many people and 3.5 month old twins.

Feel better cnf2013!!

I work for myself, which is great...except when it comes to mat leave. I honestly don't know what we are going to do...guess I should figure that out.

The bonus to working for myself though is going to acupuncture this morning and then to lunch with a friend (who may help with business) in a couple hours.

Trying to will time to move faster until our u/s tomorrow!

cnf2013 - Hope it's not strep and you feel better soon!

This morning I have a tour with a daycare right by us. Our friends used it from 3 months to a year and highly recommend it, so unless there's anything we can't live with, we'll probably go there.

Also got the word I'm starting a new project on Monday (back at a former client). Still close to my place, so no long commute, thankfully.

I think it depends on the family. We rented a beach house when DS was 4 months in Florida with about 14 adults (7 kids including ours) and it was fine. It was with my family though and I'm not sure how it would've gone if it was DH's since they have a lot more drama. I'd definitely do it again with my family though.

Can you back out closer to the trip if once you have the babies you don't think it's a good idea? I would want to leave my options open. But in general I think you'd have tons of help (assuming your H's family is willing) and it could be fun.

ugaqueencity - Baby showers! Exciting! Too bad about the outfits. No time to run out while you're in GA?

Well Hs sister wants to book the house soon so we'd need to give our portion. If we backed out we wouldn't get that back. I know his mom and 2 sisters would absolutely help with the girls. I just worry about my own stress levels. I tend to get super anxious with that many people in a small space. H and I may need to just plan to have days where just the 2 or 4 of us go do something. That would probably help.

Daydreaming about mat leave has gotten me through a lot lately.

That sounds like a good plan! I would go for it.

Agreed. My in-laws? No. But with my parents/some aunts/etc. I'd probably do it.
