It just seems to pile up... And my kids mess up their drawers which drives me crazy. I'd like to get a stacking bin type thing and put everyone's stuff into their own bin when taking it out of the dryer then it would be easier to fold!

Update: temp rose yesterday to like 97.9 and continued to rise today to 98.2, so it looks like I just had a delayed temp rise.
Gigs ah 16 weeks! Are you starting to show yet?
Autumnal I would drive you nuts, my room is a disaster zone of clothes flung everywhere. Nothing gets folded or put away, I simply have the clean baskets and the dirty basket. It is not a good system
but I am lazy, and putting away clothes constantly sounds terrible

yay for temp rise!!
Oh yeeahhh, definitely showing. That bumps bumpin'. I think this is the earliest I've shown actually. Because of the nature of this whole pregnancy it's been really hard for me to feel like I'm actually bumpin' rather than just gaining weight/getting fat...which is silly, I know. I'm working on it
But my fundal height is hiiigh. I'm pushed out in the weird way where my uterus is kind of elongated upward rather than side to side, so it's actually up above my naval (which is not typically until 20+ weeks) but it's not wide side-to-side. I have no idea how he's laying but I'm guessing he's head up or head down, or just developing high in the left corner or something. No idea.
Anyway I'll get a pic up, actually I've been wanting to compare it to my bump with ds2 (since I was on the same timeline, due date-wise)...plus he's the last one I really documented the bump. I didn't really take too many pics with ds3 because I became extremely inactive on facebook.
Autumnal maybe one of those 3-hamper rolling rack things? It's like three baskets together. I think it's used primarily to separate colors from whites but You could definitely just use them to split up clothes.
Something like this? btw this is an affiliate link, I made an amazon affiliate account awhile ago to earn a couple extra bucks but honestly it just makes sharing links easier lol. I don't get paid s* from amazon. Amazon.com
ohhhh or this, this is classy plus make a new surface to fold clothes on maybe Amazon.com

@gigglebox I was big my last pregnancy straight away! But the polyhydramnios made that happen. My bumb didnt look different than norm, just much larger. Three times normal amniotic fluid the entire pregnancy. Because of how large my uterus got, i’m thinking my third pregnancy will likely show early. Really hoping to conceive soon.
My 3 yr old just brought my 1 yr old a piece of chocolate for staying in her bed last night haha! Dh & I are working on getting both kids sleeping in the same room on a full mattresses pushed together. She’s nearly 13 months and so tall that she’s able to get out of her crib. (Anyone with suggestions on getting them staying in their room all night?)
Back to the story…She took a little bite or two but tossed the chocolate and jumped back on the boob. Best compliment from a child who hasnt learned to talk yet! Apparently mama milk is yummier than a square of chocolate!
lol

Awww that is so adorable!! And also yay for yummy mommy milk lol
Here’s the pic, let is me at 17+2 with ds2. Right is 15+6 with this one. My dress drapes a bit so not as form fitting as the first one. I’m also probably 5-10lbs heavier this time as I started out about that much heavier. But even so, my bump looks/feels comparatively much larger. Fluid levels have been good so maybe this is just a fourth pregnancy thing.

Cute bump pics. Looking gorgeous @gigglebox! I love that dress btw!
It astounds me how different pregnancies can be. My first was amazing my second was miserable and I’m feeling so unsure now of what a third may bring (if i conceive again).
Other than size/shape, how has this one compared symptom wise?

Thank you! I got it from ebay and wore it at thanksgiving.
so true, all these pregnancies have been different despite all being boys. Symptom-wise I was good up until 8 weeks to the day when I was struck with a 3 day headache and it kicked off my ongoing nausea. Everything subsided in week 14, so I feel fortunate it was pretty manageable and I haven't dealt with it for awhile (save for a couple headaches here and there). My first was the easiest with symptoms, and the second was so rough. I was nauseated immediately. In fact I was sipping on my morning coffee and felt like I was going to puke at about 8 or 9dpo (can't remember exactly) which is what made me test, and it was positive. I was off coffee for most of that pregnancy. The third I honestly don't remember too much, I know I was feeling nausea but I don't think it was as bad as with the second.
So if I had to rank symptoms it'd probably be something like (in order of easiest to hardest): 1, 4, 3, 2. But two was the worst. So much so that I "knew" it had to be a girl, haha.
Halfie remind me what you have again (b/g?)?

Gigs oooo I totally want those laundry hampers maybe one day I’ll have the laundry room for it. Adorable bumps! Honestly I feel like the left bump is what I look like after a big dinner but the right is definitely carrying higher.

Such a cute bump gigs. I agree it looks a little higher!
Having a three year old and a one year old is just peak cuteness. I miss those days!! If I get pregnant soon, my youngest will be pretty much four and a half when it's born..
Ahh I just got my positive opk finallyy
