I wonder what I'll get too, Mummy. If I was the one running Bingo, I'd probably just forget! Not to mention the hundreds of dollars in baby gear they're saving us by giving us my nephew's things instead of us having to buy them... But SIL and her sister take these things seriously
It took me a minute to remember what kind thing my mom did. She means well, but she kind of drives us all crazy, so that's not a sentence I hear about her often! I was too tired to look at everything she sent home with me last night, I ought to go grab the bag and poke through it.
We leave for Ft Lauderdale a week from Friday! Then cruise out the next day. I can't wait! Things are crazy at DH's work and he's working 6 days a week now, so he'll be happy to get away, too. I'm glad I picked one with a lot of sea days so he can relax. Steak is starting to sound tasty again, so I'm hoping I can enjoy a few of the tasty sounding meals on board. I'm happy enough to stick to my low meat diet otherwise, but a couple of the specialty restaurants look good, and there's a prime rib night, too! It'll be nice for DH, he can order big chunks of meat for every meal without having to make any compromises with me.
Once we get home, I think we're going to have to register. It seems early, doesn't it? I'm not even quite halfway yet... But one of my best friends is really riding my ass about it. We were in a group chat on Facebook the other day, and she wouldn't let it go even when I pointed out that DH only has one day off a week right now, we're trying to plan for this cruise, and I'm not even freaking halfway through the pregnancy yet. The other friend in the chat finally had to message her and tell her to knock it off until we got home. At least let me get through the anomaly scan and make sure all the relevant bits and pieces are there, you know?
And apparently we need a nursery theme so the shower decorations can match? Our nursery theme is "Stuff MrsK and MrK like, probably with some animals and stuff." And I know I've told her this! Our wedding didn't have a theme, either. And since when do you need to buy matchy matchy shower decorations, 3 months before the shower??? All the showers I've been to, maybe someone buys a few balloons and a pink or blue tablecloth and puts out a vase of flowers, you know? So when we get back, we'll just start the registry and not tell anyone but her until it's actually relevant
I hope your appointment and your little guy's go as well as possible. How are you feeling? No new issues since your Facebook post?
I hope everyone finds some relief from the itching. I got some stretch mark cream in my last Bump Box, and I'm thinking about using it just to prevent itching. I have had just a tiny bit, but I don't now if it's really anything but normal itchiness from the seasons changing and my skin getting dry.
Chrislo, sounds miserable! I've been hungry all the time from the start, but it's just starting to die down. I think the baby is finally squishing my stomach some.
), so it's easy to recognize, at least. I guess it's his way of getting me ready for toddlers. Thankfully, lunch is on the way as I type this!
I hope your doctor has some advice for you.
Whatever this is its making me want to get sandpaper and just go at it! I keep waking up looking like a tiger attack happened overnight!
