My house looks like a tornado went through it. I'm not usually a messy person, but I've just been so tired lately that I don't feel like doing anything -especially Lexi's room - and I'm not cleaning it until tomorrow.
I still have all her birthday presents from Sunday in their gift bags piled up in the corner of her room. I feel like what's the point of doing it if I'm readjusting her room this weekend. Hopefully I'll have the energy tomorrow.
@greenbeanqueen - if I wasn't pregnant, I'd join you. It's been a weird week around here.
Also, there's nothing flameful in my eyes. I used to make or order mimosas regularly with breakfast.
Congrats to my TTC buddy Madeline!
Cheering for all the strong 3T ladies!

I got in bed the second I got home last night and only got up to go to the bathroom and make myself some dinner. I even ate in bed. I was just over the day and tired and wanted to watch tv in bed and be done with it all.
Mine might seem silly or controversial, I don't know. Every once in a while I get a feeling of gender guilt. My whole life I thought I would have three boys and I am such a sucker for my two!! When the gender ultrasound for this baby happened and revealed girl I about fell off the table and cried with joy. I gues I never knew what having a girl, a daughter, would mean to me. Now that I am nesting I feel guilty for being crazy into pink things and hairbows. Makes me feel like I am disregarding the boys or something by being excited. Dumb I know.
Sometimes when I wake up with less bloat, I get worried that I'm not growing like I should be. Then by the evening, I'll be complaining about how much the bloat hurts...

@KatieKim0815 my sister said this exact same thing to me, so you're not alone in your feelings!
DH and I had crazy amazing ST last night! It was like we were teenagers again.
This morning I made a comment that I just feel fat. He pulled me to him, held me face, and looked me in the eye and said "You are the most beautiful and sexy woman I've ever met. I know you're trying to loose weight right now, but I will always see you as perfect. No matter what. Don't forget that."
I smiled and thank him, but it meant way more to me than I could ever explain to him.
I told my co-worker I was stepping out to grab something out of my car, and I went out there to eat one of the peanut butter balls my grandma dropped off and put in there. OMG they're so freaking good!
ETA: Now I'm mad, because I put it into MFP and 1 of those suckers is 1/2 of my sugar allotment for the day. Damn PCOS diet.

I have a baby shower to to to tomorrow and I'm dreading it. It's for her second baby and they're the same sex (both boys) and only 3 years apart. I don't understand why she's having another one, but I'm going anyway since I'm a sucker and would feel bad not going.

I think people honestly don't realize how tactless it is to have multiple baby showers. Manners/tact aren't on many people's radar anymore it seems. They think baby = baby shower, regardless! Blech. I understand having a luncheon or something just to see the mom-to-be, but not having gifts. I went to a "sprinkle" for a gal having her 3rd once and it was just awkward.

I've got my kid saying oh jeez all the time. She is my little echo and I know I could be saying much worse since I switched from saying damn it all the time. it sounds so cute coming from her. I still don't really like her saying it though

When I announced to the remainder of my family/friends at Lexi's party, everyone was asking me if I was going to have a Sprinkle shower if I end up having a boy. I told them no, because I already have most of the stuff I need, other than clothes, which I am getting second hand.
I do feel its tacky/gift grabby to ask for a second shower.
My SIL had a second shower. Her reasoning was that they had a house fire about 3 years ago and said that they lost all their baby stuff in the fire. The only thing they loss was the crib, the rest of their baby items either broke or were in storage and were destroyed by mold. I thought it was tacky and bad of her to lie about her reasoning for having one. Truth is though, my MILs side of the family loves having showers.
SIL and BIL planned their wedding and got married in a month (I've never understood why) and at the wedding some of the aunts were saying that they should have a bridal shower for SIL that summer (they got married in March 2012). They never did though.
I just had a conversation with my BFF about this issue with showers. Her first son isn't 2 yet and she is pregnant with a second boy. She not only is insisting on having a second shower, but since all her friends and family tell her it's tacky she is throwing it for herself. I love her but I swear I hope no one comes.

$-) this must be what your friend is thinking. Wow. To completely ignore everyone telling her how tacky she's being and still do it?! I can't even imagine.
