30-Something Moms!

Baby sounds like she's doing really well Katie 😊. What'd you find out about the scans? How was your mini getaway? What color did you paint the dresser? Lol, I'll stop with the questions.

How's everyone else doing? Looks like you had some quick success snowbunnie, congratulations!

Nothing too exciting here. Expanding, heartburn, mood swings and tiredness, ha! And my crotch is sore/numb, like I rode a bicycle for the first time...dunno what's up with that! Slowly working on getting the house organized for baby's arrival. My last ultrasound went good, things are looking normal 👍🏻. I've also decided to let my grey hair come in 😳. Come June I'm hacking my hair off and I should be down to the naturals. People will probably think I'm a grandma, taking my grandchild out for a stroll, lol!

AWW!!!! BABY NUGGET!! So glad to hear that things are going (relatively!) well for you!! I can't believe you're over halfway already!

Now, let's see... the mini-getaway was mostly nice. There was a micro-snowstorm in a 10 mile radius centered on the town we stayed at, sooooo... we spent a lot of time next to the fire in our room! We had a super delicious Valentine's dinner, which was fun, although I asked the fancy schmancy bar tender to "make me a non-alcoholic drink that didn't resemble something you'd give a college girl" and I got... grenadine mixed with soda water in return. Which, last time I checked, is pretty much a Shirley Temple.

We painted the dresser a very pale coral, and it turned out well! We're soooooo close to being done with the nursery. My shower was this past weekend, so now I've got LAUNDRY to do, and a few things to buy (guess diaper pails aren't fun enough to give as gifts!), and the OH has to finish a couple of his projects, but I think we're on track to be done by the end of March. I'll put up some pics when everything is sorted!

I see baby once a week at ultrasounds. She's right on track!

...I say go natural!! I have two close friends who are all grey, and it's SUPER striking. It's clear that they aren't grandmas!

Randi - glad things are going well for you. Are you planning to find out baby's gender or let it be a surprise (sorry if you already mentioned this and I missed it!)? Great ultrasound pic!

Katie - I can't believe you're so close already. Time is flying! I also had to buy my own diaper pail so I guess people really hate giving that as a gift. Glad you had a nice vacation. Hoping things continue to go well.

Not much new for me. Boys will be 7 weeks tomorrow so only 3 more weeks until I go back to work. I'm definitely not looking forward to that at all. Sleeping is so sporadic at night. Sometimes they'll sleep 5-6 hours and sometimes only 3. It can get exhausting. But, they are starting to smile at us more and those little gummy smiles make it all worth it. Hope everyone else is doing well!

Always reading along ladies! But I've got a busy body that doesn't make it easy to type!

Crystal, did you find a daycare?

 

[crystlmcd]

Yes, we got all enrolled in a center just a few minutes from my house and work. We toured it before the boys were born and it seems very nice but holy cow daycare is expensive. We even got in to one of the more reasonably priced centers in the area and it's still crazy.

How do you like your daycare?

Expensive indeed! But I love the care they provide. They genuinely love the little guy and I can tell they're vested in his care and development.

That's so good to hear. I'm nervous, of course, to send them but I'm sure they staff will all be great with them.

I love him and miss him most days but it's also great to have a break. Also the smiles I get when I pick him up are priceless!

Hellooooo out there! Any of you interested in creating a Closed Facebook group? I'm hardly on here anymore but would love to keep up with you all. It's ok if you're not interested! I'm pretty private myself lol

 

[2b4us]

Helloooo to you!!! I've still been reading along, just haven't had the time to sit down and write any proper messages, boo. I'd totally be into joining a private FB group. I'm part of one with the other expectant moms of july and I find FB much more user friendly than BnB.

 

[KatieMK]

OMG YES. If you tell me exactly how to go about joining it.

 

[cutieq]

To create it I would need to friend you on Facebook. I will PM the two of you my information.

 

[crystlmcd]

I'm in too!

 

[Turtle0630]

Me too!!! I'm much better at being on FB than on here!

 

[JoyofMyLife]

Hey ladies, I hope everyone's doing well! I still follow along too from time to time and would love to join an FB group. I'm definitely on there more than B&B. Let me know the details.
