I might heart you! Love me some Polynesian sauce!

I have the recipe for that! It's easy, let me get it!

kateleestar

I use this one:

Polynesian Sauce
3/4 cup California French Dressing
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
5 tablespoons honey

When I'm in weight loss mode, I sub 1/2 the honey for Splenda, FYI. It's so tasty. Also, I never could find 'California French' but we have either 'western' or 'Catalina' dressing here, so I use that. Mmmmmm.

Now I heart you!!! Will definitely make this when I run out of packets.

So I posted about this awhile back but it is on my mind. We had decided that whatever name we picked that the middle name would be Allen which is DH's middle name. Then we decided on the first name Ethan. Everyone was laughing about it and so we changed the MN to James. I decided I don't love it and DH still wants to name him Ethan Allen. I love it except for the fact that it's a furniture store. Would you still do it? I feel like once the "haha" wears off it will be no big deal??

If you love the name go for it. Most people will just know him by Ethan anyway :-)

Just to let you all know that I went to a sex shop today. I went for bachelorette party favors for one of my best friend's BP party this weekend.

There were a lot of customers in there surprisingly and they all stared at my belly. They act like they've never seen a pregnant lady in a sex shop or something. The workers didn't even take a glance at me though.

The real question is what did you purchase at the counter 8->

Why does my husband insist on coming home and then disappearing to shit for 15 minutes? We just got home from dinner, DS is climbing all over me, and DH is shitting. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK ASSHOLE?

You're lucky that its only 15 min. My DH could be gone for an actual hour.

snmetz7

@tasha575 how do they think we got this way in the first place?

Im jealous of every pregnant woman that feels good. Sorry to complain, again, but I feel awful. All. The. Time.

Mine is an actual hour too. I have had to pee in a cup in the kitchen twice so far this pregnancy.

this isn't the norm? DH always head right to the can when we get home... 10, 15, 20 mins... I expect it.

yeah this is pretty much standard in our hh too. esp just coming back from dinner.

We are going to be great labor buddies, girl! I seriously feel like shit most of the time. This RLP can suck the big D.

On a related note, I'm supposed to be cohosting a party for 80 people at my old house. BFF decided to add me as a cohost since hardly any of my gays have seen my pregnant ass since before the wedding. I had a shit-tastic day at work, am in a lot of pain, and feel sooooo anti-social tonight.

Socializing would be easier if I didn't have a Snoogle, "Call the Midwife Christmas Special" and a king size Tempurpedic all to myself right now.... DH was smart and after lots of hugs and kisses sent me to bed for a pre-NYE nap. That man is totally getting a BJ tonight, maybe more if this pain let's up!

LOL. Well, luckily we have other bathrooms. I guess I should be thankful for that fact now!

You should! I used to pee in the kitchen sink, but I can't get my pregnant ass up on the counter anymore! Cup it is!

I'm worried that people will feel like I'm random. I read multiple times per day, but don't always have time to be included in the little conversations that happen, and then I just feel like an onlooker. I try to participate!

This. I try to post as much as I can, but half the time I feel lame and unwitty haha.

The LB picking makes me feel odd... In my last we got randomly assigned, so I thought of that. Anyways, my EDD is April 17 so if anyone wants to pair up I'm totally down. 8->

Me too!  Oddly, I'm only into rice cereals though.  Rice Crispies, Rice Chex, Fruity Pebbles, Cocoa Pebbles... nothing corn-based.

Not excited at all about going out tonight. Ugh. Upside, my sister made a ton of appetizers! MOAAR FOOD for the sober pregnant chick! 

Happy New Year everyone! 2013 pretty much sucked all around so cheers to 2014 being the best year yet filled with lots of happiness and squishy babies for all!!! Have fun and be safe all!

Dh is bringing dinner home. Stuffed crust pizza and boneless wings. I am drooling already! We are going to spend NYE cleaning and working on the nursery. We are so close to being done with paint! What is everyone else up to tonight!?

Omg, yum & fun!! I'm watching movies with the husband in my jammies and eating massive amounts of sushi. Yum!

@Tasha575 Just so you don't feel alone, I'll be hitting one up soon. Told DH if we have to change positions for this baby I'm gonna need some outside help. TMI?

BiggerinRealLife

@ColleenSwerb I have a feeling that's going to be me in about 16 months, just so I can get some peace and quiet...

snmetz7

I am going to have to find a way to shit by myself because there is no way I'm subjecting LO to the stink that comes out of me lol (tmi sorry)

Themaritimemama

I swear kids have a radar when their moms are pooping. DH can be in there for 45 mins, no interruption. I start my business, and I've got two nosey children in the bathroom with me, soon to be 3! Haha

Themaritimemama

Ps I'm ridiculously hungry right now. I ordered sushi over TWO HOURS ago, they said an hour wait, and DH is still waiting for it, 2 hrs 5 mins later. I'm about to go raging hulk preggo mama on them.

Advice? DH wants to stop by a NYE party of a mutual female friend before the big party tonight. I don't want to go for the following reasons:

1. We only know 3 other people going out of 15, which is small enough to be awkward

2. He failed to tell me it was a potluck, and I wouldn't have a dish to bring

3. She borderline flirts with him at every party, rarely talks to me, and "chose" the husband in our last couple friends who got divorced. She is single, btw

4. It's the type of party where it's too small to just "stop by" and leave 20 mins later which we would need to do to have fun at the big party and it sounds so boring--"TV and potluck food maybe an adult beverage or two"

Idk, I have been the jealous girlfriend before because my husband had a lot of female friends when we met, but some women just don't know boundaries. And she rubs me the wrong way. She has known me casually for nearly 5 years but only friended me on Facebook after talking to my DH at a party a year ago. It's just all weird and he is too friendly to notice anyone flirting with him--he's the type to greet strange neighbors at our apartment because he was raised in a small farm town.

I don't know how to veto this party without coming off as jealous.

just leave out point 3. i think the rest is enough of a reason not to go

BiggerinRealLife

@Stace0616 Don't do it. No party is fun if you don't want to be there. Just say one party is all you have in you, and if he wants to have a good time at the later one he won't make you go and spend all your social on a party to "just drop by."

TallaB

OMG my NYE is complete! I got a message from the A14 pet inquiring about being labor buddies! I'm already taken, but its just so nice to be noticed!! She's still looking if anyone is interested in talking about babies all day long!

BiggerinRealLife

@TallaB Me too. I don't think she realized she sent it to multiple people.....?

) ) ) )

@ImanAtari I think you're popular! And smart and nice!!!

She must think your the most popular!!!!! I'm actually kind of jealous.

You should be jealous. I'M WEARING PINK TOMORROW!!

SCORE!!!!! Just negotiated a great price on Craigslist for this vintage 70's dresser, fully restored with original hardware, for the baby's room. It's exactly like one my grandma had, only white instead of green. It's well made, and a beast of a dresser! 

Picking it up tomorrow! I'm thinking it'll look amazing with this crib:

mrscrcalli

Is anyone having wine or champagne tonight?

natpirt

Ok Mommy's I need advice. 

We have successfully potty trained DD during the day and can't seem to get it together for nighttime. We stopped all drinking after six, make her potty before before bed. Waking her up in the middle (around 1am before I go to bed) turns into 2 hours of crying because we woke her up. Any and all suggestions are wanted!!
