Hi ladies - so sorry I've been MIA recently. Life has been absolutely crazy. I'm sorry if I don't respond to everyone's post.
Flueky - DH and I looked into getting land and putting a MH on it recently but decided we weren't quite ready to buy the right piece of land. Good luck! That's such a good way to get a house and land that you want while still saving heaps of money. And you know, if you really wanted equity out of it, you could always save up and build your dream house on the land.
Jess - I'm glad the scan went well and that baby is in the optimal birthing position! I don't know anything about the blood sugar monitoring though
Fern - I'm so sorry you're dealing with such a loser husband. I would also be completely and utterly p/o'd if I was forced to go to a party full of smokers. I'm allergic to cigarette smoke as it is and will get sick pretty quick around smokers. I'm also glad you put your foot down about the house party. That's just not right. I hope things start to get less stressful for you soon and you find a way out of that situation! Also, I have noticed the same issue with stress and less movement, which of course causes more stress! I hope you get a chance to put your feet up and go to that spa day! You've earned it! Also, I wish I could give you a big hug. Also, thanks for the videos!
Jelly - I'm glad your meeting with the midwife went well and I totally understand and am sorry the hormones are making you anxious. I hope you're able to get good results and feel less stress.
Azure - yes, I have been upset with DH lately but for different reasons. But for the most part, I can't complain too much and am thankful for that. Just know you're not alone in those feelings!
Pine - I hope baby stays put a little while longer, but if not, you will be great and all will be well! I realize that might sound happy-go-lucky, but I'm speaking life and positivity into that potential outcome for you! Sending you good vibes!
AFM - we are officially going to move. Just need to work out some details with our landlord. Finally got a hold of someone at the attorney general's office who actually knows what she's talking about. We found a nice 2bed 2bath apartment that will work well for our needs. We'll still have to get a storage locker, but I'm working on selling some furniture we won't need and sorting through things before the move. It has been SO stressful though...at least the hunting for a new place bit. Every time I found a good candidate that would save us money, I would go to DH and it was always "not enough savings to be worth it." I finally completely broke down one day in tears about it and I think he realized he had his own mental/ emotional issues to work through. We finally were able to look at the numbers and pick a place without emotion involved. We won't be saving as much as we'd like at the end of the day, but it's a super quiet and safe neighborhood and we're both happy with this decision. So now it's just packing. Normally I do all of that, but DH is gonna need to step up his game because I get tired or lose focus so quickly. We'll see how it goes.
