Sassy Sunday

[sleepymonkey]

DD is definitely every bit the threenager this morning. Sassy and opinionated doesn't even begin to describe it. Lord help me!

The first purchase I made for baby boy was a new boppy cover on clearance at Target months ago. Last night I took out my boppy and realized the cover doesn't fit. I did not remember that my boppy doesn't have a removable cover. So now I'm trying to figure out whether to get a new boppy or just get rid of the new cover.

Ahh sassy threenager! I'm afraid! And that sucks about the cover.

I've been painting all morning and still have much left. I've also decided that I want to paint the roll-top desk, which will be a lot of work but I think it'll look really nice. The desk is going in the "nursery", along with a guest bed - we've been joking that the baby only gets 1/3 of a room.

That's too bad sleepymonkey.

DD2 (almost 3) has a few favorites lately when she's not happy:
You're mean
You're not nice
You're bossy
You're lying

...sorry I'm your mom, get used to it😬

[chknma]

Now we're bffs again because I let her lick the dough hook off after making bread. silly girl

[sleepymonkey]

chknma, DD's current favorite is "You made me sad."

Happy Sunday!

Husband is picking up avocado rolls and sweet potato rolls for me! The rest of the day is mellow.

Hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday!

Hi everyone! Had a busy morning so far: took DD to swimming then brought her grocery shopping with me, finally got home and stuck some meatballs in the crock pot and some laundry in the washer. Now she's in her crib not taking a nap, but I'm leaving her there in hopes that she will eventually fall asleep anyway. Had a busy day yesterday too secretly house shopping... not that now is anywhere near the ideal time to be moving but we're feeling like we need more space with #2 on the way. Haven't told any of the grandparents yet because I don't want their opinions, we'll probably only share with them if we find something we decide to buy.

sleepymonkey, that sucks about the cover

Yesterday my dad brought over the crib, mattress, stroller, high chair, and changing table that they are handing down to us. All of the stuff has been in their attic/garage for about 3 yrs, so we put together the crib and cleaned it up. Now I just need to decide what colors to paint the changing table and dresser.

Not much planned for today, watching tv with a sleepy cat on my lap. I need to go to the grocery store eventually though

A boppy without a removable cover?? That would be a tragedy in my house. With DS he spit up on that thing so much during breastfeeding I was so glad to have a few covers as backup

I'd vote getting a boppy that allows for changeable covers. Though it seems like this wasn't a problem with your previous child?

Good luck on house shopping! We're casually looking because we want bigger but we don't NEED bigger.

Boring day around here, Errands and cleaning... spent most of yesterday outside since it was almost 70 degrees in Feb which is unheard of around here.

Anyone have good recs for chair/ottoman slipcovers? I'm trying to find something to cover an armchair and ottoman that was handed down for baby girls nursery. We currently have it in our "playroom" but the color scheme won't go with the nursery. I'm having such trouble finding something reasonably priced in either light grey or cream I'm starting to debate just buying a whole new chair.... DH wouldn't love that idea haha

[sleepymonkey]

Somers Isles , the boppy I have is the best latch version that has a firm foam insert on the bottom. I really like it but I forgot that you have to wash the whole pillow, which is a pain. So I just bought a naked boppy and will try that out with the cover I bought. I figure an extra boppy isn't a bad thing. We used ours all the time and I didn't even breastfeed.

[sleepymonkey]

I really need to do some straightening up around the house but the annoying pain in the top of my abdomen is preventing me from wanting to get off the couch.

Happy Sunday everyone! I slept late for the first time in forever so that was a nice treat! Then we went out for a delicious breakfast, watched some TV, cleaned the office which is always the last room to get decluttered so it was long overdue, and DW is about to go grocery shopping so I'll be planting myself on the couch. I'm debating reading my hypnobirthing book or watching TV lol. Anyone going to watch the Oscars tonight?

Ok I need some opinions. I'm trying to decide between a white rug or a grey rug for the baby's room. We bought a grey one today. It's too big so it's folded in half in the picture. If I go with grey, I definitely think I'd go with a much lighter grey. Also, I think I want more of a "natural" shape than rectangle. Also, the blinds will be white if that makes a difference. Does a white rug make it too feminine? This baby is a boy. White or grey. Tell me your thoughts!

[rosesquared]

tortor4 I personally think white rugs are recipes for disaster when it comes to keeping them clean! So my vote would be grey. (I feel like a blue or navy rug would also look nice!) Nursery looks awesome!!!

[sleepymonkey]

tortor4, the nursery looks great! I think I would go for a very light gray rug. And I love the idea of a natural shape!

[jmcbick]

+2 for grey!

[jmcbick]

also your nursery is adorable!!

[PirateCat]

tortor4 I would always choose grey for everything if H didn't object so I'm s bit biased. I agree that a lighter grey than what you have would look awesome and would be easier to keep clean than white. The nursery is looking awesome!

[tortor4]

Thanks so much guys! We do have a white rug in C's room and we've been able to keep it surprisingly clean. I think I'll find a lighter grey and see how it looks in there. I don't know why I'm struggling with this so much. I'm remembering now that I had a hard time finding the perfect rug for C's room too lol.

[lastkiss]

sleepymonkey +1 for getting a new boppy. Washing the whole pillow seems like a pain

tortor4 add another vote for a grey rug.

We went to my parents today as they're back after two months away. I'm exhausted now though for some reason and ready for bed.

I don't know what position baby boy has himself in today but it is not comfortable. He's down by my belly button and his movements have been causing an uncomfortable pressure in the area to the right and below. I'm at the point of just being large and uncomfortable now. I wish I could just hang out on the couch and be waited on for the 9 weeks!
