Pamela the nursery is really coming together! I'm still itchin' to start ours 
I stress over finances as well. Like, things are OK right now but could be better... and then omigosh WHAT is going to happen when the baby comes?! We are SO screwed! But... I try to reassure myself that things will work out...
Jamie OH has been helping ALOT with yard work and remodeling inside the house, plus grilling dinner here and there
Love your bump, so cute! You are def brave for wearing heels. I've sworn off them for awhile, even before I got my 
I do good enough to walk in flat shoes 
Don’t let ignorant comments bother you. A male coworker in the plant asked me when I’m due and when I told him I mentioned that I think I’ll deliver earlier because the baby is a bit bigger and he replied with “Yeah I was gonna say HE’S BIIIG” 
Excuse me? Men… I just had to laugh. Hooray for Thursday! More scan excitement!
Jess YES there's ALWAYS something to do! If it's not laundry or dishes or cleaning the house... it's yard work and continuing work in the inside of the house
My OH has been helping quite a bit... I'm just impatient and know we have a serious deadline. He was telling me last night how he doesn't like that I'm doing so much and it makes him feel like he isn't capable. I told him I like being able to do what I can and help out while he does the more strenuous stuff I can't handle. We are a team, working together to get everything done He made me sit down and take a break over the weekend and was making sure I drank plenty of water. I sure hope Luke moves himself into a better position, there's still time! I’m not quite ready to take a dip in our pool yet 
The water seems too chilly! I don’t get AF-like cramping but I’m afraid if I get in cold water it may make my muscles tighten and cause some discomfort rather than be relaxing.
Cheryl FINALLY!!! I kept checking Facebook more so than BnB and saw the bumpdate
I must have skipped over or forgotten the part about not having internet on the ship 
Now waiting on the gender reveal I’m super emoji coffee-d up from all this waiting! Glad you had a wonderful time on your trip! You bare bump is adorbs! I’m going along with the majority and my guess is boy 
I bought a tankini top from Target and had it on over the weekend while outside working. I am like in-between sizes because the bigger size hangs off my back and sliiightly in the boobs… but the smaller size fits well all around, just my boobs seem like they want to spill out 
I defo can’t wear my pre-preggy bikinis as they don’t allow for much coverage up top.
Daphne everything is so cute! That really is so sweet of people to buy you things for Adam. Glad BP is good but BOO on blurry vision! I’ve had a few instances of that with some slight dizziness but it’s very seldom. The tearing sensation sounds awful!
Dani, isn’t it nice to be recognized as pregnant? I love when someone asks how far along I am or when baby is due. I got a nice comment from a lady at the market the other week asking me how far along I was and going on about how great I looked
Hope you have a wonderful birthday Kirsty! That was really sweet of your DH!
Hope you feel better Laura! I agree, try some small snacks throughout the day, plenty of water and take it easy
AFM I started cutting the casing and baseboard for the new bedroom over the weekend and OH stepped in to help. I got our bifold closet doors painted as well, they just need to be trimmed a bit on the bottom and hung
My son and I did the yardwork in the front on Saturday and back on Sunday. He cut and I edged, trimmed. My OH stepped in and finished up the cutting both times, as the grass was wet with the rain and humidity and it was just clumping everywhere. Even though he has been helping with everything for the most part, I often feel that I have to start something in order to get him to do it… if that makes sense? I don’t mind doing things but sometimes it would be nice if he took the initiative more often. I did get to sit out in the sun for a bit in my new tankini when I wasn't busy.
My OH and I got into a bit of an argument yesterday. He was building a speaker box with my son Saturday evening and the drill fell over onto his phone, chipping the screen, which turned into major damage by Sunday morning. It looked like big ink blots all over his phone screen and although his phone still worked fine, he couldn’t see anything to use it. He said ‘Karma is a b*tch’, referring to the time he grabbed my phone and shattered it onto the floor. This happened last year, maybe in October-ish? I had to pay full price for a new phone, as I have no insurance and he couldn’t replace it. To say I was upset is an understatement and still not happy about it
I wasn’t happy his phone was damaged, it’s not like I wanted revenge for what he did or anything but kinda serves him right, ya know? Anyways, went to Verizon Sunday morning and he ended up having to file a claim on his insurance (unlike me, he has it) and would be without a phone (well a phone with a fully visible screen) for a couple of days. He asked if he could use my spare backup phone and I instantly said yes… but after thinking about everything I told him that I’d rather him not. What if something happened to my spare phone? He can’t replace it. My son’s phone has been acting finicky and he may need it. What if I were to need it? Plus, my OH has a spare phone of his own but has let his mom’s fiance’ borrow it – because the guy can’t afford to purchase his own phone. Uh, NOT my problem. It’s not like I broke the phone nor is it my fault his mom’s fiance’ can’t get his own. I may seem like a b*tch, but I don’t feel I needed to help my OH out in this situation, especially with the irony of it all. I told him that he can get HIS spare phone back to use in the meantime… pretty much deal with it himself as I had to when he deliberately destroyed my phone. He accused me of being spiteful… well whatevs dude, call it what you want I don’t care. Karma IS a b*tch 
Anyways... he was telling me today about his boss calling everyone off work last Friday due to the rainy weather, or so he thought... but apparently it was only him and another coworker that were told not to come in and everyone else worked He really isn't progressing with this job, doesn't get overtime pay as it is banked towards paid time off and isn't getting full 40 hour work weeks in He's going to look into picking up a part-time job or finding, yet again, something else altogether. I totally understand his reasons, just hoping he doesn't just not show up to work like before and go without for a month, but I'm pretty sure he learned his lesson there... I wish he would find a job/career he can settle into. The instability worries me. In baby news, his mom brought over a bag full of clothing she got for a great deal off of Facebook garage sale pages and a baby sale that was happening over the weekend at the local fairgrounds. She also brought over a few packs of Huggies brand newborn diapers she got for free! All of the clothing was super cute and clean! She even found a Steelers onsie (my OH’s fave). There were some little crib shoes and Reebok tennis shoes that looked brand new, a changing pad cover, tons of onsies, pants, jean, shirts, hats… My OH was thrilled and I said that should appease his clothing addiction for a while We tried getting Cameron to kick but he was sleeping before she left then began moving around and luckily him and his mom were in the driveway talking still so I was able to get her to feel a few kicks which she was ecstatic about. I thanked her again this morning, via text, for bringing over the clothing and diapers and she said she wants to help out with the shower, pay for the cake and help with any games/prizes or whatever. We weren’t going to do games since having to get prizes for winners would rack up our costs but she said she would handle it She suggested a diaper raffle so whomever brings in a pack of diapers can have their name drawn for a chance to win a gift card for dinner or something. Oh and my next volunteer scan is tomorrow! It’s at 8:30am so won’t be online until a couple hours after that.
Sorry for super LOOOONG post!
