Haha - a good friend told me last week that she was surprised I was planning to take four weeks off before my due date because she thought with my personality I would be really bored. I called her yesterday and said she inspired me to buy a house so I’d have something to do next month

Depends on the birth. I know people who were house painting 3 weeks PP. Wheras I still couldn’t even walk a full mile until 5 weeks PP. Up until like 2 weeks PP, I would still drift out during conversations even. I was pretty wiped out, and al the baby’s medical appointments took up tons of time and energy.
So… the most useless answer in so many ways, haha, it depends!

I am so ready for whole, normal meals again with sauces and such instead of wondering what parts Baby will let me eat. Grumble grumble.

Hi! I’m new here (this thread) but not to OMD or to baby and pregnancy related threads on financial forums. I went and read through my posts during my last early pregnancy the other day and remembered all sorts of things that happened before. I’m now a few weeks in to a 2nd pregnancy with a toddler who will be 3 just after this baby is born if all goes well.
So far this pregnancy feels like higher highs, lower lows, and more anxiety than the first one. Hard to say how much of that is the world vs. pregnancy stuff right now, although some of it certainly feels very chemical.

11.5 work days left until I go on leave…time is going so slowly…I don’t wanna work anymore…
Also, we’re definitely putting an offer in on the condo tomorrow, but will likely be going with a 40 day close which would mean moving after the baby and being able to pay someone else to redo the flooring before we move in. 
our offer is competitive!

Good luck!!!
Lol nevermind…our realtor just found out about some shady business in the building/HOA. This is not the property for us. Now we can focus on baby + pandemic like normal people instead of trying to squeeze in house buying at the same time. 
But, in other exciting news, my company announced today that they are adding three extra ‘holidays’ this year so everyone can take a day off in Sept/Oct/Nov because 2020 is terrible. The first on falls on my last day of work before leave! So I only have 10 working days left!

Yep. Have you also told your partner that they smell horrible and asked them to go away, even while being aware that you smell even worse?
Coz I have. Several times.

Oooh I had everything (vitamins, snack, hydration, magnesium, sleepiness) all sorted and was just about to doze off. But little feet or hands are drumming away and startling me awake.
Charming but also not charming.

This is the uterine equivalent to when they’re outside and have a social smile. Wake you up in the middle of the night. Go in and they just BEAM at you. Yes child, you’re adorable. Now SLEEP.

As of last night, all water tastes awful. We live in a place well known for amazing tap water and I cannot. stand. the flavor. I’m currently drinking lime lacroix at 7am which makes me feel super weird because it seems like a soda in the morning and my parents were not into that.

Oooh I had to do that too. We have a soda stream and somehow just carbonating it was enough for me to get away from the taste but sparkling water first thing always felt weird to me

I thought feeling the baby move would be cute, same as it was last time. Placenta is on the back instead of the front, and I can feel every stretch and wriggle. Last time it was to the front and I just had cute little bubbly pops for a few weeks after 16 weeks. I’m only 15 weeks and I’ve been feeling the stretching for over a week.

I pee almost every time I cough. And I’m coughing a lot. I don’t have the underwear supplies to support this.
