I realized why moms post things about their kids in FB last night. It's so they can remember it and document it for their baby books later! I started a list of funny things DS has said and going through fb posts was helpful to remember some of the doozies!

Slept like crap last night and the kids had us up at 5am!!! Worse than a newborn I tell ya! I have to do the grocery shopping this morning then come home and do some choreography work then head to the high school. I don't like Tuesday's! Too much rushing around!
sandandsea, I keep a private journal that I try to write in once a month with funny things he has said, milestones, memories, etc. I started it when I was about 30 weeks pregnant. I didn't want to put pressure on myself to update it all the time so I wrote in it every few months and am still going strong at about once a month. It's really special to look back on it. I wrote it in the style of letters to him, I hope he and his spouse enjoy it someday. I need to start one for this one sometime before she comes, I liked having an entry about how I was feeling before arrival. I also like having it all private, but I don't post much on social media.
broadwaymama, so sorry! Hoping you make it through this long and busy day with little sleep!
Today is busy for us, too. I'm watching my niece and nephew this morning for a few hours. My SIL watches DS for almost every dr. appt, so I am glad she finally asked me to watch them so I don't feel bad like I never pay back the favor. After that, we have a few friends coming over to play. Then I need to start getting ready because we're having friends over for dinner tonight. So, all fun things, and it's nice to have a busy day but not leave the house, I just wish my house were cleaner!
I woke up excited/nervous though that only 2 more days until the sonogram we've been waiting for!
My day got off to a bad start but it feels like it's turning around. This week is a stressful week at work - not because it has to be, but because my coworkers make it stressful. Ever have one of those projects where everyone freaks out and you're the only one who is like "what? everything's gonna be fine..." Yeah, that's my week this week. And probably next.
Well, it's blizzardy outside so we will be staying home. I can handle snow, but not wind!
I had a proud mama moment last night. It was DD1's ( age 4) performance night at violin ( very informal) but the kids dress up and play all the songs they've learned for the last 8 weeks. Then are given a bead to add to their key chain. She did so well! But....I realized that her year end performance is two days after my due date, which could pose some problems. It will be a really net performance, they play at the concert hall with the cities symphony. Hopefully baby comes early enough or a few days late!!
Sorry I was MIA yesterday. A friend and I went to Ikea (my first time ever!) and had fun! I got a bunch of baby stuff and lamps and picture frames for the nursery. Of course we get to the check out and she insists on buying all my baby stuff. So sweet! I'm still pumped about 2 high chairs for $40. Can't beat that!
Oh! And today is my A/S! I'm trying not to be nervous, but you know how that goes. I hope to see 2 healthy babies!
Today is also my EDD for my loss, but I'm feeling good. An article about ways to remember babies that should have been popped in my FB feed, and it was very comforting.

I like that, but could never do it paper and pencil because no one would be able to read it. I have my phone with me all the time so it was easier to put things on there. We also used the baby connect ap to track feedings, diapers, and sleeping so I really did always have my phone with me. We also have a private website for our family where I did periodic posts and family updates so that had a lot of good stuff in it.

So sweet of your friend! I love the IKEA high chairs, wish I had gotten one instead of my expensive hard to clean one. Looking forward to your A/S update. I will be thinking about you! I hope it makes an otherwise hard day better today! Do you have the link to that article?

Thank you! My appt isn't until this afternoon, but I'll make sure to update after!
I slept horribly last night. I fell asleep on the couch but couldn't fall back to sleep when I went upstairs. I went back downstairs to watch TV and was up until almost 3 and had to take DH to the airport at 5:30. I'll be going to bed as soon as I get home from tutoring tonight.

sandandsea, and 2dogs2kids... don't be too jealous! I will enjoy this lack of hair for a while, and if history continues to repeat itself, end up with an ugly case of PUPPS all over my thighs within the next couple months.

Flair Underwood, I may have said, "Whhaaaaaatt?" out loud after reading that.
I'm in the ape camp... but only because it's winter and I just don't care enough to shave. I take the time before every OB appointment. DH loves OB appointments.
Oh my gosh you guys... look at babysteals.com today. TOO CUTE!
I shouldn't complain because it means I'm not spending money right now, but... Are opposite sex siblings not cute enough for t-shirts? Where's big sister/little brother (and vice versa)?

So I retract my comment because I see now they are sold separately! They just aren't paired together in any photo. Patting myself on the head here. Reading comprehension fail.
ETA: Although they still don't match stylistically. Aaand closing the site now.

MY DH JUST GOT A JOB OFFER!!!!!!
I'm so thrilled because this means a TON for us. First, he will be local when the baby is born (no more being out-of-town 4 days per week). Second, it means more money because it comes with a raise AND he doesn't have to pay rent on a second apartment. Third, this all means we can start looking for a house! He's worked so hard for this. I'm such a proud wife right now
pbandj714, how's the A/S!? Are you finding out the sex of the babies?! I can only imagine how hard it is to do an A/S with 2 babies!
It was great!! I'll update later in the A/S thread, but both babies were healthy and perfect! It took about an hour from start to finish, but she got all the shots they needed for both of them. And we are still successfully team green!!
Anyone else starting to get short of breath? I have to talk a bunch all day long for my job and I'm really starting to get winded. It's especially bad after lunch.
