Chat Stew

nesenotes

It's a big ass never ending thread of randoms! Anything and everything you want to talk about, vent about, word vomit about, whatever.

It's easiest to keep up with if you sort tb by most recent activity as opposed to post order or whatever. So far D14 has almost 8k replies and months worth of chat and it has been a really great way to get to know each other.

Let's chit chat ladies.

Except I'm about to make dinner so I'll be back lol.

Always down to chat!! Watching the Colts game ATM. H & I leave for a weekend in Chicago tomorrow. Looking forward to a little getaway before the holidays and my H's busy season at work. We are ask going to start TTC after the holidays so we wanted to go do something fun before I'm pregnant and can no longer drink.

Dead! MH was giving emery bath and he let her play with the sink hose and she stuck it in her crotch and laughed and said that tickles. He turned so red. I'm dying here. That was pretty funny!

So I think I'm screwed if H and I end up having another girl. No name ideas (I mean I'm not PG but this is what goes through my mind at 10pm) so I went to that Nymblyr site...guess what they come up with to match Dagny? Vashti, Sigrid, Ever and Limpi. Seriously those aren't names, those are just letters smashe together.

So I opened my box of pumping stuff from Kiinde and instantly got overwhelmed with anxiety! I couldn't bring myself to open it all up. I stowed it away in the closet instead. I feel like a BF/Pumping impostor. Part of me is like really? are we doing this? I only lasted a few days last time but the thought of the emotional roller coaster is freaking me out.

I'm going to have to start coloring my hair soon. So. Much. Grey.

Girl, I have to go every 8 weeks now or it's really bad. I actually asked my boss if I can start expensing it because 95% of all my new ones are because of work. I don't think that's going to be approved...

:::raises hand:::: same here. The worst part is I cant even do a box color because that shit aint touching a grey hair. I have to get it done which is so fucking expensive.

I found out a few days ago I have to have knee surgery. I have a torn meniscus, fan fucking tastic. Even with a scope the recovery time is like 6 weeks. How on earth am I going to take care of a two year old like that?  I hate getting old.

really? I used to color my mom's hair for her, which was like 80% grey/white and it seemed to do a pretty good job. Lord knows I don't have the time or money to go to the salon every 6-8 weeks.

Yeah girl box color does jack for my grey. It will color it but the grey hairs will be a different shade than the rest of my hair so you can still tell. Then i have some greys that wont asorb the color at all. If i go to the salon they always get it..i might just suck at home color! lol

@nesenotes I was going to ask you what that contraption was.  For some reason FB wouldn't let me zoom in on the picture.  I felt the same way this time around and was prepared to fail at it and surprisingly it was so much easier this time.  We are still going strong at 6 months and I've made it through my first week of no pumping and still have enough to keep her happy!!!    I really think the second time around can be a lot easier because you know what to expect more.  The first time was so new and not knowing what to expect created a lot of stress that I think ended up affecting my supply. Hopefully the same is true for you!

That's really good to know thank you!

Anyone have any suggestions for workout videos or stuff that's similar to the 30ds? I want some variety and I loathe Jillian. But I love that it can be done in 25 minutes and doesn't require any crazy equipment. The time is a huge factor since I can do it during my lunch hour. Is this what the chat can be used for or no??

I really like the tone it up videos. I'm mildly obsessed with those girls. They also have a ton of free workouts and calenders and programs on their website. I think I'm going to focus more on their routines this time around. Website is toneitup.com

Re spooky Disney Jr and Nick jr: emery is not a fan! She actually starts getting nervous which is interesting because normally she loves to dramatically fake scream in fear of things like spiders.

pinkangelmoon

Ohh @PaddyB me too. I need to unsubsribe from all the emails. Carters has a similar sale, and the entire Gymboree store is $16.99 or less....but but the kids do need fleece PJs and an entire winter wardrobe

I cut my finger earlier slicing some bread. I think I'm gonna die.

pinkangelmoon

hooray @bellaxanthe!!

@Laurski81‌ congrats on being debt free! This is awesome.
@bellaxanthe‌ glad to hear good news on your pap, I know how worried you were. Congrats.

@aimeefarrahfowler‌ I have been coloring my hair since I was 26. Its just something I need to do every month. No big deal - the box color works for me.

I'm still ordering clothing in the size that I was pre-pregnancy.  I am not that size anymore...not even a little bit.  WTF is wrong with me?!

Awwww you'll get there. I've been tempted to start browsing and buying regular clothes which is beyond stupid since I have no idea what I'll look like after.

I am bummed that DH is sick for the long weekend. We were supposed to go to my inlaws Saturday and Sunday. Well he backed out, now I have to take Emmett overnight at my inlaws alone.

What?? I would NOT do that. You should get a reward....

nesenotes

You know what sucks about having a daughter? Other catty girls! Why are little girls so mean so early? I'm finding more and more as we go places with other kids that the girl cruelty starts young.

And I will roll up on a kid with no shame. Hoosah!

I was so proud of myself today- I had both kids out by myself we went to a parade, Elise had a good nap, yada yada.

Holy shit in an hour things went to hell. I took Elise to the potty before I started to pump- she screamed and cried because she didn't have to, woke up the baby who also started screaming.

i told Elise to go to her room to calm down, she pissed her pants all over the bed (because she didn't have to go?!?). Then continued to scream so I go to pick her up to calm her down and she leans back and smacks her head against the door so more screaming.

All while Vera is in her swing also still screaming. H came home so I just downed a glass of wine and am hiding. :-S

Yikes! Chug that wine girl!

I have been cleaning house all day. When I brought kids from school they made a huge mess out of it in less then 10 minutes! Veronica was screaming and refusing to go on the potty. I left her crying in the middle of the living room and went to put the stuff away that I was caring from the car. She stopped crying... I turn around and see that she pooped on the floor! I go get a wipes to clean the mess but my dog races me to the pile of poop and eats a big turd... While Veronica proceeds to smash the poop to the carpet. FML! My 8 year old is highly amused by the scene

nesenotes

@pippathegreat‌ I'm having that same exact problem. It's still 90 here and her shorts are too short and she grew so she's down to 3 shorts!! Im going to put her in a lot of dresses until it cools down.

@SunshineLady6‌ I think of you when I pump

nesenotes

@bellaxanthe‌ I would have laughed in his face! Buahahaha weirdest weight loss advice ever.

@somethingcleverer‌ sommelier's are a trip. I was chatting with one once (a real one that passed the test) and it's insane how hard that test is. I feel like you have to be a genius to remember all that. But then they get to be part of a super cool little club of an elite small percentage. So that's neat too.

nesenotes

Heading to Knotts Berry Farm today. It's supposed to be almost 90° and I'm 8 months preggly. This could be a really bad idea. But churro sunday!

I've been a little MIA here and I'm sorry! I'm going on a semi-date tonight!! I'm excited and nervous, but ready to get out there and have fun again! Fingers crossed he's a good guy. I have a knack for picking out assholes. Lol!

WHY THE FUCK IS LILAH SO LOUD THIS WEEK?!!!!

Screaming hopping dancing. ALL LOUD!!!! Shes learned how to squeal.

Love this thread. Rainy day here today so we didn't do much which equates to my boys fighting over EVERYTHING. Tomorrow we are going to look at baby goats to buy. The ones my husband found still have to be bottle fed. While my kids think this is great, the reality is the newness will wear off quick and it will be mommy feeding these babies.

Also, it has been a month and a half since I left my job and I am LOVING being a stay at home mom.

britbratjf

@heatherbee710‌ what is the first name? What are the middle name options?

britbratjf

H & I got into the Girl & the Goat in Chicago tonight! I couldn't get reservatybut we showed up when they opened at 4:30 CT & got in. Best. Meal. Of. My. Life. I'm so stuffed and so freaking happy right now.

britbratjf

OMG @mightybee‌ we started with a yummy bread course with a chili butter, then this pork belly & fish dish, then roasted beet salad, then this amazing trout & Brussels sprout dish, then a pasta dish with a pulled goat meat sauce, then a goat belly dish, then a goat cheese plate and then an apple cobbler rule dish. I mean I've never spent so much on food but damnnnn it's worth it.

britbratjf

Hum. I do like Natalie but I agree with you about Anne not really matching. What about Natalie Grace? Flows nicely & I read that Anna is a form of the Henrew name Hannah which means Grace so it's kind of circular...

britbratjf

@heatherbee710‌ the female version of Matthew is Mattea...Natalie Mattea isn't terrible but I like Natalie Grace much better. I would keep fighting for grace but I also like Natalie Beth, Natalie Jane, Natalie Grey, & Natalie Mae.

ThePinkSuperhero

Oh hai chit chatters! Not much going on here. My ILs arrive tomorrow for a few days. They were planning to stay wth us but got a hotel at the last minute which does not surprise me. They're introverted and like their space. DH is a little hurt, which is sad. On the plus side, I don't have to scrub our grimy shower tonight and I moved the new pillows from the guest room to our room. NEW PILLOWS WOOHOO!

I am not looking forward to Monday at all. Daycare is closed so it will be the first day I have to take care of both Henry and Greta by myself all day. I know lots of people do it, but I'm scared!

You'll do fine momma!

BRONCOS WIN, WOOHOO! In more exciting news, I managed to squeeze into real pants for the first time since the birth (well and the pregnancy)! They have a zipper and everything! Good thing, I was really getting sick of maternity wear.
