    @Mrs.Lilac: Oh no, I hope everything with your liver is okay!

    @MamaG: Awww, I agree with @theotherstark that it's so weird thinking of them as almost full size now! Yay for hair!

    Since we'll be having winter babies, does anyone plan on getting a carseat cover/canopy of some sort? or just use a blanket?

    @whenoceansrise: we had this car seat cover:

    http://www.amazon.com/JJ-Cole-Seat-Cover-Graphite/dp/B00511J6BM/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1414693712&sr=8-5&keywords=jj+cole

    and we'll use it again. It is considered safer than the "bundle me" variety because it doesn't go between the baby and the back of the car seat. We still put a blanket in there sometimes to keep it more cozy but it was really nice to have a cover that wasn't going to blow away in a snowy parking lot like a blanket would.

    @whenoceansrise: I'm just planning on using a blanket. Xander was also a winter baby (February) and a blanket seemed good enough for him. I also don't really plan to go out THAT much while it's cold and snowy!

    @whenoceansrise: I'm planning on using a blanket. I love the A&A blankets.

    @MrsF: @Adira: @BandDmommy: Thank you ladies for your suggestions! I think I will probably just use a blanket!

    @whenoceansrise: I have one of the JJ Cole Bundle Me covers that I got for the baby shower... we have an outlet store nearby so great deals on stuff like this!

    @FaithFertility: 3 hours later and now I am wide awake, boo! I wish my husband was nesting, even if he was doing things incorrectly. I would love too see him helping clean up more!

    @snowjewelz: so sorry you are still sick! Definitely take something to help you out if your OB approved it. Rest up too!

    @Mrs.Lilac: I hope everything is ok and your dr appointment went well! Thinking of you.

    @MamaG: so crazy to think your baby is pretty much fully grown now. You are so close!!

    @whenoceansrise: here in the snowy Midwest I loved having a cover similar to what MrsF posted. I got it super cheap at target and it made me feel a lot better about taking LO outside.

    @FaithFertility: @MrsScallop: the insomnia is killing me! So sorry you girls have been up too

    @MrsF: hopefully we all start getting more sleep soon. I don't need to start the sleep deprivation trend yet. It will be a long 6 months or so otherwise!

    Figures the night after I post about getting good sleep, I have to wake up to pee!!

    And looks like others dealt with insomnia during the night.

    I actually slept really well last night. I had the room nice and cold though. It really helped!

    @BandDmommy: You stole my sleep!

  24. winniebee

    hostess / wonderful grape / 20803 posts

    I slept well last night! Fell asleep around 10 and woke at 12:15 when my husbands pager went off and had a pee break. And then peed at 3:15. But T didn't wake up til 7. Yay.

  25. winniebee

    hostess / wonderful grape / 20803 posts

    @BandDmommy: sleeping with a fan and keeping it cool really helps me too.

    @BandDmommy: I always sleep better when it's cold in the room! It's much more difficult now that I'm pregnant, though, since I'm so hot all the time!

    @whenoceansrise: I'm going to play it by ear. I think we'll just have a warm blanket to start off with, and we'll reevaluate to see if we need a cover.

    @Mrs.Lilac: I hope your appt went well!

    @winniebee: @BandDmommy: Yes, we are getting a cold front this weekend and I am so excited to open the windows and cool/air out the house

    @BandDmommy: @winniebee: I am glad you two got sleep! Seems it goes in phases here.

    @FaithFertility: Ah jealous of you & that FL weather today! Northeast has been crazy... Yesterday was almost 70 and today back to 50s. I guess it's really no surprise that everyone is sick!

    I sleep okay if you don't count randomly waking up to pee and then to cough... Ugh! My OB just said I should get over it within 2 weeks, it's been week 1

    What's everyone up to this weekend? I'm going to a breastfeeding class tomorrow, and maternity photoshoot on Sunday! Not that I feel up to it at all but hopefully she will make me look good hahaha. I bought some fake lashes to DIY my make-up... Hope it turns out well!

    @snowjewelz: we are trick or treating tonight with LO, then likely doing chores and errands all weekend. Not very exciting after tonight. Have fun at your photo shoot!

  31. winniebee

    hostess / wonderful grape / 20803 posts

    Tonight we are taking T trick or treating for a bit then passing out candy.

    Tomorrow my parents are coming up to help out so I can rest since my husband is on call.

    Sunday we have no plans it's supposed to be very cold and rainy so I really don't know what we will do but my husband should be off to be in charge of our son.

    Ordered a bookshelf, new mobile and some prints for the baby's room as well as some random stuff on my amazon registry that doesn't qualify for the discount. I can't decide on a double stroller (whether to go for it or wait) so I have been holding off on completing my private registry. But want to do it soon. I also need to find some blackout blinds -- like some on PBkids but they are so frigging expensive and I'm not sure the reviews make it worth it. May go with Target brand instead :). Baby furniture should be here in a week and my mom will come up then to help organize the baby room.

    @snowjewelz: sounds really fun and very baby focused which is exciting! I remember I had an awful cold for a month in the third tri last time. It was miserable and it took forever to get Dover but sounds like you are getting there.

    We have no specific plans for this weekend. If the weather is decent, I want to tackle cleaning some of the garage out. Otherwise I'll tackle cleaning the bedroom. Nothing too fun though.

  33. snowjewelz

    wonderful kiwi / 23653 posts

    @MrsScallop: I think I'm gonna pretend I'm not home and hide in the basement and watch TV lol.

    @winniebee: Completing registry is not easy! I went nuts and ordered a TON of stuff from Target and then back tracking to see what I am returning. I want to go to BBB tomorrow to buy some things too; I got their completion coupon (which is only 10%), but they said they'd match their competitors and Target gives 15%. I have an Amazon registry too hahaha! Sometimes I can't keep track of it all! My intention is to price watch to see what's cheapest where...

    @Adira: I've delegated garage cleaning to DH... It's all his stuff anyway! I told him he somehow needs to make room for the suitcases that we keep in the nursery closet! I feel bad for nagging him, but I seriously feel like I still get so much stuff done being pregnant, sick & working!

  34. Adira

    wonderful pomelo / 30692 posts

    @snowjewelz: Luckily, my problem in the garage is really just old cardboard boxes we never got rid of. They're just piled up on the side of the garage and make it so I can't get into one side of my car. I just need to break them down and put them in recycling!

  35. snowjewelz

    wonderful kiwi / 23653 posts

    @Adira: Oo, that sounds easy enough! It's one of those things that you just don't get around to if it's not urgent!

  36. Adira

    wonderful pomelo / 30692 posts

    @snowjewelz: Yep, exactly! I haven't bothered with it because I just never need to get into that side of my car. But now that I'm going to have two kids, I need to clean at least PART of that side so I can open the back door, haha.

    @snowjewelz: Yeam I'm ready for some cooler weather, no more swamp butt.... sorry tmi

    Where in the North West are you? My mom and stuff live in Seattle....I guess that is PNW?

    Me, DH, and my sister are cleaning our house today, for babyshower tomorrow, we are going to relax tonight and pass out candy

    Sunday is our hospital tour :))))

    @FaithFertility: I'm in Northeast, NY! Have an awesome shower!!

    @winniebee: We have black out blinds from target in our bedroom since DH is a LEO and works midnights... they work best!
