I went to the store over lunch today to get the few ingredients that I need to make penne pasta with creamy tomato sauce. It sounds amazing and I've been looking forward to it for a couple of days. I put the groceries in the fridge at work. One of my coworkers ended up unexpectedly quitting or getting fired (not sure which) right at the end of the day today, and I was so distracted I left my groceries at work. We have leftovers from last nights chicken and veggies, but I want my pasta!

I am really tempted to bake brownies, but we have so much Halloween candy in the house still, DH would get mad.
Make brownies and melt the candy inside or ontop of it. Win win
This. No need to dismiss the idea of brownies so quickly! You could also consider eating them all before he realizes you made them. Or you could hide them if that's your style... Either way, give the brownies a chance
So I just learned picking up my two year old is out of the question from here on out... She weighs 36 lbs. Her lower body broke out in a rash and I went to pick her up and put her on the bathroom counter and now my back is screaming bloody murder!
1 3) I hate the movement threads. I didn't feel my first until 22.5w and I wasn't freaking out. Get a grip. All I want to say is "unless you're bleeding and cramping your baby is FINE so stop freaking out for no reason. Babies don't just magically disappear from your belly and make you un-pregnant." But I refrain because there would be that person who has a late missed miscarriage or something and I would feel like a flaming asshole.
I feel like a total asshole for freaking out last week and calling my OB, thankfully they didn't make me feel like a crazy crack head. But, I still feel dumb for freaking out I hadn't felt the baby move in a few days.
I've been irrationally worried this pregnancy too. You're not alone!
DH and I just completed our tradition of going to the 200 krona store (like a dollar store) and purchasing the weirdest/worst/slightly messed up Christmas decorations they have. We got a creepy snowman, a pathetic wreath, and those weird pills you put in to water that magically give birth to random sponge shapes. The Christmas sponge pills are for our Christmas video we make every year. We make up ridiculous synthesizer songs and then make a video. Last years video was entitled "Christmas Robot."
This is so full of win. I must see the Christmas Robot video.
I can't believe the PSA weigh thread is still going. Please just stop. I can't take 20 more weeks of this. What is the next topic everyone can freak out about?
I spent part of my night in Sams club pricing food for a fundraiser...sigh I hate fund raisers. Anywho, fun fact: Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, & Mt. Dew are the best soda deals at Sams. They are $8.98 for 36ct of 12oz cans. Making them .25 per can. Unless Target is having their 4 for 12 deal on their can sodas, Sams is where it's at. Fun information for those of you hosting holiday parties.
i'm going to go ahead and pretend that "gluten free" = "healthy" on these cookies i just made. i remembered i was going to make cookies for work tomorrow a little to late and all i had in pre-made mixes was a gluten free mix. i usually bake from scratch, but i'm SO not in the mood tonight. anyway, cookies are pretty good, i shared 2 with DH which means i only had 1 i guess... for now...

April 14 August Siggy Challenge- "This time last year.."
I have a case of the sads tonight. DH and I haven't had sex for 3 weeks, so I finally said something to him, and I guess it freaks him out. Also his sister who is pregnant went to the er for bleeding (like 5 weeks ago??) and so that makes him nervous too. Anyway the conversation in no way made me feel any better, and I've just been ugly crying on and off. It's going to be a very long pregnancy, and this mama is feeling sad

MamaFantastic's rocking method. And it worked (sorta). #ifeelsomuchbetterafterpooping
@poru DH had some constipation recently, and decided to google ways to relieve it. One thing he read, that we both now do regularly, was to position yourself in a sort of "squatting" position, meaning you sit on the pot, then use a step stool or something to put your feet on. We use DS's potty seat (the lid closes and it becomes a step for them to reach the sink). Your knees are in your belly (kind of) so this takes some getting used to, but I tell ya, things just kinda slide right out with little effort. Just another suggestion in case rocking (something else I've done since I was a kid) doesn't do the trick.

There is actually a stool just for this very thing. I remember seeing it on some daytime talk show once upon a time. It's called the Squatty Potty!
@mrscrcalli I could definitely go for some cake or pie!
Not looking forward to Black Friday unless they have our carseats and the baby jogger city select for like half off... When did my excitement of shopping sales start revolving around babies??
I FELT MY BABY!!!! No idea how, since everything says I won't. I'm a FTM, overweight, and only 17 weeks. But this time I know for sure it's my baby, and it was the same feeling I thought was baby last week! Ok, I have my baby glow now. So. Amazing.
FTR: all you who said to have something sugary to get LO moving? Mine started rolling after 2oz of wine. I can't decide if it's enjoying the grape or protesting the booze. I picture it with a teeny little protest sign, going "No more wine, we feel fine! Stop with the juice, cut us loose! Heck no, more H20!"

@BiggerinRealLife Yay!!! I'm so happy for you! I told you only you know best when it really is baby
I've noticed some kicks every time I eat something spicy and I told SO that baby must like it... He said, "Or you're hurting him and he's telling you to stop!" (SO says "him" for now, until we know) Lol that definitely makes me wonder now if they are kicks of joy or protest! Either way, enjoy momma
I think I already know which ladies will post about their mucous plugs. (Was reading November and watched them devour someone who did that, although, she was a drive by poster.)
"My family kept saying they couldn't buy anything if they didn't know the gender." I was not kind in that thread. That's the dumbest fucking thing I've ever heard of.
*Ok, now I'm convinced that you just like to pounce and make yourself feel prideful in your hateful and ignorant comments. Take off those ugly sunglasses and fugly hat! That's right hide your face you fucking coward.
All the comments about brownies and cake really make me sad. I miss chocolate! I miss caffeine!! I have a heart condition and caffeine isn't allowed. Being pregnant and not allowed chocolate is just cruelty!

Uh, really? You find fault with a strong opinion and... You attack someone's photo? Wow. You raise such an evolved point, there. Bravo. 8->
I'm in the bathroom trying to get ready for work (ok who are we kidding I'm bumping) and all I am hear is one of my asshole cats trying to claw her way into their food container... Mind you I JUST fed them. She is such a jerk. Anyone want a kitty free of charge!?!?

Personally, I would rather give my baby a septum piercing than circumcise him, but who cares??
In other news: I have a whole apple crisp to myself. It is fantastic.

P.S. Sounds like your kid is going to be a hot tamale and mine is going to be a wino.
