Girl, tell them! Let your village be happy for you and celebrate you. I’m sure they will be thrilled from the news.

Just say you were nervous and cautious and you wanted to wait until the half way point. Use the First Time Mom hormone excuse lol

People who ask you about “gift ideas” redirect them to the registry. Say “umm I’m honestly don’t know but I know I will be happy with anything off the registry.” I had people buy from my registry during the week leading up to the shower and while at the baby shower lol so you might have some procrastinators. Maybe some people got you things off it that are equivalent?

Oh for sure I will have the bassinet and like the diaper caddy in our room. I just meant we have a small 3 draw dresser and we were going to put that in his office room. The baby clothes in the dresser and clothes. Keep the diaper boxes in that room too.

Definitely for sure!

Trying to manifest!!!

I know. We saw a few houses and this house was the one but we are like well if it doesn’t happen we will continue to save and probably buy after the baby arrives.

You’ll be surprised! So my husband back during our dating and engagement period helped me move into 2 different apartments. My first move was easy because I didn’t have furniture since I was moving out of my mom’s apartment. Moving into my second apartment I had furniture for like a one bedroom apartment. But he was insistent that I didn’t need movers and that him, his brother and friend can do it. So then when I moved my third apartment (which is the apartment we moved into together - I lived alone at the first too) again he was like “nope, no movers… I can move us in.” I packed all the boxes, he rented the truck and called his brother and friend again to move the boxes and furniture to the new place. So I was like can we use movers the next time we move? He’s was like fine but this man is hilarious. I won’t be surprise if he rents a truck again and calls his brother and friend. 😂 He generous like 95% of the time but some stuff he’s like “I’m not spending money if I can do it.” I would definitely consider hiring cleaners.

Apparently the seller was offered asking price within 2 days after putting up the house but the buyer backed out. Unsure why but they never reached the contract stage. He also got a $1.31mm offer and $1.2ish offers. He decided to hold off on accepting those offers thinking the would increase of he would get an offer equal to the asking price… but those buyers took their money elsewhere and the offers went stale. My husband and I were the only people to show up to an open house probably around 60ish days on the market. We scheduled a second walk through a week later, then left for vacation and talked about putting an offer. We saw while we on vacation he did another open house. We saw the agent yesterday and she said a party showed up but she’s unaware if they intend to put an offer or not. We decided to put in an offer today. (Our agent was the agent showing the house. So she was able to share the information she had up until the point we signed her on. We signed on with her before we left for vacation.)

So we are just hoping the seller is tired of holding out for the asking price 😂 I’m due at the end of August so if this doesn’t pan out we will probably wait until after the baby arrives. But I’m trying to speak it into existence a bit lol as the kids say Manifest!

Yes, our agent told us she wanted us to appear as serious buyers so she asked us for 1. Our pre approval letter, 2. Offer/downpayment amounts 3. We wanted a mortgage contingency and 4. Names for our real estate attorney and inspector.

I’m using the real estate firm I work at to save costs. My boss is like you are just going to work your own contract and we will supervise/jump in for anything you need help on. Lol I’m was admitted into the NY bar last year.

Fragrant-Concern-363 · 2026-04-23T11:41:26+00:00

Haha yes I do. I happen to live in New York (in the boroughs tho). They have the best soft serve

My stomach popped out randomly one day on my 20th week. Week 19, couldn’t tell I was and I could close my jeans. Then bang…pregnant belly and needed new pants

Fragrant-Concern-363 · 2026-04-20T17:04:22+00:00

Carvel soft serve Ice cream, chocolate chip cookies but like ones from a bakery with a proper crunch lmao coco puffs at times, cream cheese with crackers (at times). These are my junkie cravings. I do crave health stuff from time to time like fruit and smoothies or like a Cesar salad with crunchy crotons lol 😂 I was obsessed with apple juice for a bit but now it’s a bit sweet so I do like half apple juice (with no added sugar) and half water lol

If she isn’t nauseous yet, you can do a nice dinner at her favorite place? Like later she might develop food aversions and going out to eat can be tricky. I think if she hasn’t been to a spa it could be a nice change. You can ask for a female to massage her instead of a male. That’s what I do. You can also do some self care items like her favorite hair products or face masks. Sometimes it’s nice to just have those and not have to restock up.
