I use to have such a tidy home, sigh. Not feeling like this is home, not completely in packing, being lazy, being sad, and not having the money to decorate a new space has led to this messy home. Noooo.

The reason you have a messy home is because you are home all the time with 2 young boys! This mess you speak of used to be controlled by a daycare environment 5 days a week.lol! She wants to see you. Not your house. And it is ok to unpack for months. I just finished unpacking. And I've been here for almost 2 months! Big hugs music. You are doing exactly what you should be doing as a sahm. Spending time with your kids. The house can wait. Xo!!!!

Thanks, lady. All of this is such a mind F. It's like, what should I be doing? This is all so new I me. Lucky DH goes with the flow and does not anything to me, or expect anything. I mean, I'm probably being dramatic, but to me this is a dump, you might walk in and side eye me for feeling that way. I just miss feeling at home, and having everything in it's place. I hate that this is just a rental so I don't care to make it perfect since i know it's temporary. How are you doing? Are you happy? Mostly settled? Paint me a picture of your new life up there!!
Life is not as horrible as I thought it would be musiclover ! There is such a sense of community and it is wonderful. I just unpacked my last box yesterday lol. So I'm right there with you. I have yet to put up pictures which is weird for me, but it will happen sometime.
Actually leaving today and I won't be back until the end of august/ beginning of September! !!! I told shaun that I will actually miss this place!
And music lover, just keep doing what you are doing. The house will fall into place eventually. There is no rush for anyone. They love you! Not your house. So go swim or go to the park. Or whatever you want to do with those boys. Xo!
I had my prenatal interview this morning. I realize there's a reason for the questions, but I have been happily married for 3 years with no STD diagnoses, so IMO the number of people I've slept with before him is not exactly my midwife's business. I lied. I guess that's my early confession.
I also turned down the 1st and 2nd trimester screenings. I feel like they're the standard tests I would have gotten last time (I didn't decline anything) so I'd know if I were a carrier for cystic fibrosis by now. And the NT test is great for another ultrasound but I'll just go through a private company if I'm jonesing that bad for another ultrasound.
Lol lying is okay I imagine at this point!
Does that mean you won't have any ultrasounds this pregnancy? My doctor last time would let me turn down the 12 week scan but not the 20 week.
Ugh, PB being blocked at work suuuucks. I miss you guys.
Owen pooped in the tub last night. Thankfully he's slightly constipated right now so it was hard little pellets that we're easy to scoop out. I still need to disinfect.
I think it's time to put the prep for his big boy room into overdrive. Poor H had been sleeping with him on his floor and he's just exhausted. I feel like of they can share the double bed that things will be better? Or we can figure out what's screwing up Owen's sleep so much...
I don't think you have to wear a suit. Do you have a sheath dress to wear? Or a button down shirt and pencil skirt? Even a button down or any dressy shirt and dress pants would be fine.
I agree. I think you could very easily do half a suit and a button up shirt (or the like). Pencil skirt or dressy pants with a nice shirt.
I don't have any of the stuff listed.
I might be able to go to target or something and get a button down and some pumps. Or, I will just wear business casual and hide in my cube all day.
I have been thinking about Christmas for at least two months. I started shopping and I've been checking out Pinterest like crazy for ideas! It's never too early!
7:50 and Lincoln is still fast asleep. I'm hoping he gets back into his routine of sleeping in a bit because he's been waking up so early and then he's cranky all day. I wish I could be in bed too but C has been up since 6.

The only thing I declined for 2nd tri was the CF screen, I'll still have my anatomy scan (I realize I worded that poorly) I just won't have blood work done.
Ahh okay got it! I don't think I did that one last time but I can't remember.
We came to storytime at the library this morning. I think we're going to stay all morning - Olivia is happily playing, it's air conditioned and I'm enjoying the free wifi. Win!
My interview went well. I'll find out tomorrow if I get it. The start date would be August 1 and it would mean I wouldn't get to go with the family on our vacation to Iowa. It would also mean going from being a SAHM to being away from home 11 hours a day. Last night while I was trying to sleep, I started stressing about having to put Caleb in daycare and thinking about how hard this change would be on him and Abby.
I don't even have a job yet and I'm still feeling working mother guilt.
I spent way too much time yesterday finding shoes for my work trip tomorrow. Then I got home, wore them around for 10 minutes, and realized that my 24-week pregnant self is not intersting in tottering around on heels. Seriously, my back hurt within minutes. Shit! So I'm going back out today to find cute flats, which is tough because I don't think flats are cute. (I wear chacos or flip-flops most days, but if I'm dressing up I really prefer heels).
I also decided that I don't have time for a pedicure, so I did my own toenails, and I smudged them immediately. Shit!
And we have a trash-related emergency going on but I'm not even going to share that one here. Gross!

So, my friend with the kid named J.aydin is pregnant, and she said she's having trouble picking another boy name because everything she likes rhymes with J.aydin. Does she mean like Brayden, Kaden, etc? I am scared.
I feel so bad for my sister. Her due date was Friday, and she still hasn't had her baby. At her appointment yesterday, there had been no progress since the week before. One of our friends who was due 2 days before her had her baby this morning. I just know how much it sucks to be past due, seeing your pregnant cohorts with their newborns, and feeling like you will never have your baby. I also hope for her sake she doesn't need to be induced, because I know that's not what she wants.
Has she....gulp....tried sex?
Poor girl, I hope today is the day. Going past your due date is hell.
