I can't keep up with this thread. Whoever mentioned Chinese food I hate you. All I can think of now is egg rolls and crab Rangoon and fried rice. My husband and I got into a legit argument last time we had takeout because he finished the pork fried rice. I feel like we have this argument every time we get Chinese.

Mmmm...crab rangoon.  Would it be bad for me to have nothing but that for lunch tomorrow?

I can't keep up either.. It's like over the last week it's grown legs and walked away on its own

Ooo, crab rangoon.

I read an article about Philly cheese steaks at about 2:30 & we had them for dinner because I couldn't stop thinking about them, lol. Such problems.

If I fail my 3 hr GD test tomorrow and I may seriously have to stay away from this thread... From cereal, to chinese, to donuts, and now Black Forest cookies... and now I am really wanting crab rangoon....

DH's new friend is over and just witnessed me cutting a slice of chocolate cake then scoop chocolate ice cream on top.

Thanks guys. The police officer I spoke with said I was the 9th reported robbery today. The 32nd this week. I feel a little bit uncomfortable because they have my address from the checks. I wish DH would hurry home.

I sure hope you called the bank to let them know your checkbook was stolen so they can be on alert for EFT transactions and incoming checks! Otherwise these assholes can get full access to your account and/or write a bunch of checks and clean you out!

my vote is P.F. Changs to go with egg drop soup, chicken lettuce wraps, crispy honey chicken with broccoli over brown rice and the banana spring rolls for dessert. and if anyone would be willing to come drop some off to me, i will love you forever and make you black forest cookies! :x

This totally makes my spaghetti with homemade meat sauce seem so...so...inferior. Crispy honey chicken is my FAVORITE!!

Watching Americacan idol. Not impressed. Don't like any of these judges either.

But Harry is soooo dreamy!!! That's the only reason in watching!

my mom and i used to do bake-a-thons every christmas time (15 different types of cookies, homemade turtles & homemade carmel corn) and we experimented and found some interesting combos. one of them is a bluberry muffin cookie. another is a lemon blueberry cookie. and then we come to the famous black forest cookie. it's a hershey chewy chocolate cookie with dark choco cocoa and cut up dried cherries put in the batter so it turns into chocolate orgasmic goodness in your mouth!!

for those who don't like dark choco, regular can be used, but it's amazing either way. i'm willing to pass on the recipe

Crab rangoons are my favorite!!! I need these now!!!

So today I had a conversation with another mom that has a two year old. We were talking about our kids and their biodads. She made the comment that she didn't want to confuse her LO by introducing her son to her husband and the biodad as "dad", which I can understand. Then she made the comment that she thinks it will confuse him and distract him from school..

So now my question is.. Am I totally screwing up DD because she calls both DH and her biodad "dad"?? DH has been around her since she turned a year. She's three now so obviously he's a father figure to her.

I sure did! I have to go down tomorrow to change account numbers. My account is frozen now.

Besides Dreft, what other kind if baby laundry detergent is there/do you reccomended?

I wouldn't recommend this at all since it so full of perfumes.

If you are concerned about skin reactions then I would get a free and clear detergent. 

I use regular Tide on all our laundry and cloth diapers and we are a house full of sensitive skin people.

I don't think so. One of my very best friends is very very close to her stepdad and she always called both bio and step dad. She has done it for as long a I can remember! As long as they are in her life and influence her in positive ways I think of it as a positive! She's extra loved! I call one of my friends parents mom and dad and always have and probably always will.

@kcp913 - blueberry muffin cookies is simple & easy. make the dough on the back of toll house choco chips but instead of chips add 1 cup finely chopped walnuts and 2 packages of dried blueberries (if they are small). they turn out soo good! they are a great alternative to a chocolate chip for ppl who may noy like choco or have allergies. i will pm the black forest since its a bit more detailed

***disclaimer*** cannot be held responsible for eating a lot of these! and they go great with milk

natpirt

J&NL IMO if they are both playing active and positive roles in her life I would not worry. My DD is a lot older but calls her biodad and my SO dad. As your daughter gets older you can explain the difference between the two and let her decide. I never forced my daughter to call SO dad but she is comfortable and trusts him enough to do so on her own.

Breastfeeding class was not very informative. I guess thats what you get for a "free" class. On the upside, I won a diaper cake!

I think you're ok... Kids are smart. My neice has a "dad" (her stepdad) and "daddy jay" (biodad)... It works for them. I wouldn't worry too much about it. You're doing a great job I'm sure

I don't think so but you know your daughter best and if she seems to be fine with it than its proably fine. I grew up with a stepdad, he has been in my life since I was about 5 and I've always referred to him as one of my dads.

I've never forced her to call him dad, she just kind of started. Plus, her biodad only sees her a few times a year. He isn't a bad influence or anything for her but he's also not exactly a parent to her either. DH sees her every single day and has for the past two years. Her biodad is very unreliable and I'm worried he won't be around one day so I want her to still feel like she has a dad. Either way. I wouldn't just let anyone come into our lives and let her call them dad unless I knew they were worth it and DH is more than perfect for the job.

Ladies-my mom is asking if she can send e-vites for my shower instead of mailed invitations...like I have a clue! is that tacky? Yay or nay on e-vites? Thanks!

My rule is that if its a gift giving event, send a real card.  Otherwise evites are fine. 

But everyone is different!  What do you think your guests would prefer or care about?

My friend did facebook invites... what am I supposed to do? Say, "Um, thanks for throwing me a shower and all, but you're being SUPER tacky with the FB invites...."
Nope.  Just gonna smile and say THANK YOUUUUUUUUU!   I will do hand-written thank yous for sure.

I like Dunkin Donuts. No Starbucks or KK for this girl. BLEGH. DS is being absurdly adorable tonight.

I'm sorry. We can no longer be friends.

pineconey

it finally happened.
pregnant brain left my phone at work.
whoops.

on the upside, i scared the crap out of my officemate by calling it from DH's phone. i guess suddenly hearing "everybody wants to rule the world" in a silent office could be a bit startling...

The past two nights there have been over 250 new replies since the morning. No way I can keep up and I have a class tonight so no time to even try. I just skimmed. Something about donuts, chinese food, muffins.... I think 98% of this thread is food. Good work.

I had a terrible dream DH and I split. It was so sad and I woke up sad. I hate that! Stupid dreams. Its probably because I wanted to sleep and he was keeping me awake.

danamarie421

I just spent 5 minutes looking for the TV remote which was in my hand the entire time. This is a new low for me!

oh, if anyone else makes the blueberry muffin cookies please let me know how you liked them. @kcp913 ygpm

Just remembered I had a batch of turtle pecan cookie dough hiding in the fridge.

So I was super bored and went through the hdbd posters... 41 are regulars, 34 have less than 200 comments and 2 just show up for hdbd

irisheyez7

My mom sent me a copy of the Baby Shower invites that she made...they are "The Lorax" and are freaking adorable! Crafty lady that Mom o' mine. Must skip a generation...

Ok here is my crazy person confession of the day. Yes, I know this sounds ridiculous and I acknowledge that before I even type it.
Everyone keeps saying things like "you can't even tell you are pregnant!" "Your belly is so small!" And other assorted things. I've gained weight for sure but it's low and looks like I ate a ton... More of a pooch than a baby. And after hearing this for a week my mind keeps going "is the baby not growing? Is the baby ok in there? What if something is wrong?" I have zero signs of anything being wrong, but I can't help it. I feel like I'm insane for thinking something is wrong because I'm not huge and pregnant looking.

Ok rant over. I feel even more crazy typing it out now. These hormones are a bitch.

I'll probably be bumping less frequently. I started school again today. Let's hope I can work ahead and finish this class before the baby gets here!

Makes me feel better that I didn't post today. I don't want to see unknown bumps, I want to see all my bump nieces and nephews that I know!!!

This. All of it. Are you tall by any chance? I'm 5'11" and My OB said I probably will never look full term because my torso is so long.

But I get the paranoid thoughts of "Is baby growing okay?" too, especially when some people love to constantly comment about how little I'm showing.

When people on here use the "words" "prolly" or "tho" I want to throat punch them.

I don't use prolly but I definitely use bc and tho so much quicker to type! It's not like I don't know how to spell the real word!
