I am relying on my super napping skills to get me through the first year akraus2015 I figure they have to sleep sometime...
Yep, which is when I got to shower or eat or do other things that needed to be done. Well, provided baby wouldn't need to be held to sleep (we had many of those days)
Many afternoons were spent with baby laying on our bed watching the fan while I napped.
I'm a terrible napper. I've tried to be better at it since being pregnant and exhausted most days. I hope I can make myself nap when the baby does, instead of doing the million other things I think I should be doing besides sleeping. lol
Good Morning I slept in a little today. Then H comes upstairs to tell me his mom will be here in an hour....she showed up 15 minutes later so I quickly jumped in the shower and came downstairs to socialize.
No no no, MIL. You don't show up earlier than planned!
This is shit I expect (and have had happen) with my MIL. Yours must be better!

Lol she must have stopped on the way home from the grocery store. She lives 7 minutes away and I haven't seen her since early February.

Oh my. I really hope people add gift receipts, but I know it's not the norm for some reason. I see myself donating a lot of baby things in my future to a family in need.
I don't want or need a lot of things in my life, so I feel like this will be an uphill battle when the baby comes. Every Christmas I see threads, especially on parenting, of the crazy influx of toys/clothes/things parents are gifted. I DNW that much stuff in my house at any given time.

Yeah.. I've commented plenty on the lack of useful or needed things I got at mine so I'll spare the details. No gift receipts on any of it, either.
I often end up tossing or donating the Christmas shit my ILs purchase DS. Same for Easter (we don't celebrate Easter yet they all insist on getting him gifts 😒).
This reminds me, I've been wanting to tackle the toys in the living room to put them away. Maybe I'll do that while DS naps..

I do not understand the amount of gifts kids get for Easter. It's insane! Maybe because I grew up poor, it wasn't a thing in my family. But kids do not need a bike for Easter IMO. And the baskets I see premade are silly. And the people on my Fb who post a picture of the gifts have me 🙄🙄.

I'm with you on this. After my shower I'd like to find a local family in need to donate a few things. I know we'll get a ton of disposable diapers we don't need, and he will also probably end up with clothes that don't fit him. It would be nice to be able to donate that stuff to someone who might otherwise only get secondhand stuff.
Lol she must have stopped on the way home from the grocery store. She lives 7 minutes away and I haven't seen her since early February.
I miss my mom and mil usually, but am happy most times that they both live out of state. DNW random drop ins.
My FIL is the only one who does random drop ins, because he's retired. Usually he comes by during the day. It only drives me crazy on those days I leave work early and sneak home for a nap or something.
I'm going to a baby shower this afternoon. (And I bought the gift off their amazon registry. I forgot to put the receipts in the card but I have them to hand over too). I'm excited for cake.
MIL is still sick so we are getting out of family dinner for the second weekend in a row. And H was like "just pick up food on your way home".

H asked her to come over because I do constantly ask when we are going over there. But he told me I had an hour then all of a sudden it was "she's here, throw a hoodie on and come down"

I went to my first BWI (Baby Wearing International) meeting today. I was nervous because I don't do well meeting new people, but it was so great. Plenty of other pregnants and also plenty of babies at all ages. I learned how to use a ring sling and do a FWCC in a wrap. We talked about materials and all kinds of things. Now I'm trying to decide which one of each to put on my registry. So excited to wear this baby!
And now to watch out alma mater play in the Elite Eight!

I need to go to one of these meetings. Must learn all the things.
akraus2015,wannabmama,PirateCat, I too am a Master Napper at the moment. I laid down for a quick nap yesterday and woke up *coughs* 3 *coughs* hours later. Ditto today.. guess I need it? Mind you, I make 9-10 hour nights of sleep as well.. guess building a baby is hard work LOL.
wannabmama I wonder whether the new DD that opened last week here in town also serves those wraps and other stuff! I really need to play a trip down town soon.. mmm donuts!
morwen, congratz on V-day!! I will be 20wks on Thursday and the countdown to V-day will start for real then!
@xamountofwords, the same often happens when MH &I visit one particular friends couple. Hate it! I ended up sharing my frustration with MH and now he takes better care of including us all.
onesweetworld, we should mix up and half the timing skills of our MILs. Mine is ALWAYS late, not just like 10 minutes but often well near an hour.. frustrates me to pieces esp since she's always the one to set the time in the first place!
I really want an egg sandwich. I think I'll go make one as soon as this episode is over.
I really wanted to stop at McDs for a sausage egg mcmuffin this morning...
Oh I always LOVED loved loved the bacon egg and cheese McGriddles back when I lived in the States. Nomnom. Just browsed the McDo website and omgosh so many choices! Sadly the only breakfast things they serve at the D.utch McDonalds are croissants, mcmuffins and pancakes

Uuuugggghhhhh I'm still on the couch. H and DS are doing stuff outside. I inhaled a giant crab pretzel for...early dinner yesterday. It...did not sit well. We got home around 7 and I went right to bed, sorry H, I left him to unpack the car, do bedtime, and clean up.::shrug::
But I was up all night, sweating, tossing, turning, peeing, it was awful. In hindsight I probably should have made myself throw up because it was just sitting like a bowling ball in my stomach. 😣
