My baby shower with my family is coming up at the end of the month, and one must have essential that I always put on my registry is a variety of sizes of diapers. They’re always needed and can get pretty expensive over the years. Plus, diapers and wipes are really the only baby things we actually need since we kept all of our previous baby necessities from our firstborn.
In about 7 weeks, we’ll be meeting our 2nd baby girl, which means I need to start thinking about what I need and don’t need for my labor and delivery hospital stay. Most people recommend a ton of useless things, but just remember, most of us will only be there 1 or 2 days so you don’t need to bring your whole house with you. But before we get into what you need to bring, let’s go over some things that your hospital may provide.
Mesh underwear: These things saved my panties from being ruined since you will be bleeding heavily and leaking. They gave me as many as I needed.
Hospital gown: I just stayed in these my entire stay because I kept leaking on them. If you’re not comfortable in the hospital gown, then bring something you’d like to lounge around in. I didn’t feel the need to ruin another clothing item that I’d have to have my husband take home to wash right away.
Non-skid socks: If you don’t have any of these, they make you wear theirs so that you don’t accidentally slip and fall. Liability reasons.

Did you know that 32% of pregnant women experience pelvic girdle pain, otherwise known as symphysis pubis dysfunction? I didn’t even know such a thing existed until I was pregnant with my first daughter, and lucky me, I am experiencing it this time around too, only it came on quite a bit sooner than last time.
At 28 weeks, the excruciating pain from sudden movements, rolling over in bed, or even getting out of the car started. Anytime you have to spread your legs to move, you will feel this pain, and it is not pleasant, especially when you’re in bed sleeping and you’re already uncomfortable from the pressure of everything that’s going on in your growing belly.
Ohhh….. 3rd trimester, where you’re happy the end is almost near and you get to hold your adorable bundle of joy that you endured all the unpleasantries of pregnancy and birth for. LOL

Last month, our dishwasher decided to kick buckets and stop running. That was okay because I loathed it anyways since it didn’t clean our dishes well enough to my liking. So we went out to find a better one at Best Buy since we’re Elite Plus card members. We ended up deciding on the LG top control dishwasher with Quadwash since it had the option of black stainless steel as a finish and had good reviews. So far it’s been GREAT! Takes a little longer to clean and dry the dishes but it’s an easy trade-off for me to have perfectly clean dishes without having to scrub them all beforehand.
Then a week after we bought our dishwasher, the washer decided to stop draining water and quit running after 5 minutes. We thought we could fix it on our own by ordering a couple of parts, but it still didn’t want to work correctly, so we were off to Best Buy again! We ended up picking out a Samsung washer, but I wish we would have waited and done this special offer with Best Buy for the LG Twin Wash System, but unfortunately, we needed a washer right away!
