@lightrox no advice but hugs to you, I can empathise with how frustrating that must be!!
I'm so excited to relax this weekend and go do tons of fall type stuff on Sunday before watching the Pat's game and eating pizza. And no school Monday. And my scan next Friday. And my emotions were in check today. And my students were darlings today. And I know you're not supposed to start sentences with and. Good luck to all of you with appointments soon, I can't wait to hear your news!! :x
@lightrox I would be pissed too. Why do they make it so easy. Weight wise my son is going to be in the 5 point harness until he's 30 so thankfully we won't have to deal
DS1 - 9/21/11
DS2 - 7/4/14
DS3 - 2/21/16 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Our family of 5 is complete!! Love our boys!
It's kinda funny reading about kids not staying in car seats. I haven't had that problem in forever. My kid was always good about staying in her car seat until the car turned off. My issue with her now? She is complaining all the time about how I won't let her ride up front because she isn't 12. Too bad. I make the rules! She more than passes weight wise but the rule of thumb has always been 12 years (since she was little anyway). I'm just not ready to fight her over the radio yet lol.
February Siggy Challenge- Post pregnancy indulgences
My new rescue dog Phoenix blowing my mind at the annual reunion for the service dog org I work with. I've had her only 3 months and she's now around over 50 dogs and more people, in public and being AMAZING. I'm so proud I just had to share!
We have a very busy weekend ahead... And while I hope it passes by quickly for you ladies with appointment on Monday. I hope it is nice and slow for me. Tomorrow ds has mom and me gymnastics, we need to grocery shop and we are meeting friends at the college soccer game. Then we have to hurry home to watch dh's game streaming online. Sunday we have a bday party and since i am Canadian I am also going to make a small thanksgiving dinner (mostly because I really want mashed potatoes). i am also super excited that monday is Columbus day and I don't have to work! Yay!
Went to Panda express tonight... Ate a whole bowl of noodles and mushroom chicken, 3 rangoons and a whole soda by myself... And still want donuts... But DH didn't want to stop for donuts. So I'll get them tomorrow. But still! This baby demands donuts!
I ate leftover pizza, a slurpee, and got severe stomach pains. I lost it both ways toilet and trash can. Ugh I felt so shitty. I just ate PB toast and an apple Hooghly I can keep that down.

Ugh! I let the dog out to pee before I crawled into bed and he got sprayed in the face by a skunk!! When I realiaed what had happened I just called dh and cried.
So Long story short I have a random and totally irrational phobia of rabies and my pets coming into close contact with wild animals and me getting accidentally exposed is honestly something out of my worst nightmares. I know that it is irrational but my anxiety is now through the roof. I just hate this feeling and not having dh here is making things so much worse. He is traveling for work this weekend. On top of it all I had to sit outside in the freezing cold and rain, hose down and bathe the dog with peroxide and baking soda, all the while dry heaving and vomiting because of the smell. I am just a total mess right now.
@Stormiewinter My dog just got sprayed on the top lip by a skunk a few nights ago. His lip is all red because of it. He has to stay outside until the smell goes away, and I hate it. I miss my big baby
@OneRainDrop I'm so jealous! My fiancé was rubbing my belly earlier and the baby was going nuts, I was so sad that he can't feel it yet
Oh man! He will feel baby soon! During my first pregnancy, I was so excited for my husband to feel the baby move, and had the moment in my head as this amazing, happy moment....when it happened, he quickly moved his hand away, made this funny face, and said, "That's really weird". NOT the reaction I had expected!
Needless to say, his excitement and pure joy this time were well received!
I'm just popping in to say that it's 1:40 in the morning and I'm sitting here eating a slice of OG's oh so amazing pumpkin cheesecake!!!! It's my first time trying it, and I've gotta say - No regrets!!!! I was doubtful about it when everyone on here was mentioning it, but man oh man, am I glad I finally got some!
@lcq5504 that cheesecake is amazing!! I may pick up a slice today. If you ever have a chance to try the Dutch caramel Apple one from Cheesecake Factory, do it!!!
I'm so happy for you gals with squirmy babes. I'm like, 'hello, baby! Move please!!" I thought I felt something during a facial yesterday and a couple other times I've been relaxed but I think I'm just feeling my own pulse! Anyway, good morning to you all. Hope you have a wonderful long weekend
ETA wtf with all these flu shot threads? If these things get heated they never end well
With ds, Dh never liked feeling him move. He would do it to make me happy, but was always creeper out by it. Hopefully, he will enjoy it this time, as he will never get the chance again
After cleaning out the closets the other day, I went to get into one and Dh had made a mess looking for something and didn't pick up his mess... grrr. Oh well, he will be picking it up in the next couple days
@2goofykids any updates on your job? Are they treating you better? I feel like I know you ladies already.. I may have stalked for a month or two before posting.. :P
@asimms93 well, sort of but not really. Finally got my shirts (I think they ordered the ugliest biggest ones they had in the catalog) and I'm slowly, begrudginly, becoming more compliant with the new "dress standards" they've put in place for employees in "special situations." Mostly if you're pregnant don't work for independently owned McDonald's - there aren't as many regulations to help you out. But I'm leaving the job 19 days from now so I'll suck it up and hold my tongue for the time being.
ETA: had to switch prenatal vitamins since I'm out and my insurance is being weird with prescriptions. Anyone have any experience with the Rainbow Light prenatal vitamins? My pharmacist liked how they compared with the nestabs I was prescribed, plus they're all natural and include a probiotic.
Preparing for Canadian thanksgiving tomorrow. I am making enough food for an army even though it is only Dh, DS and I. Didn't want to make a whole turkey for 3 people so I am doing our families traditional steak pie instead. I need to get the filling ready tonight and cut the potatoes/broccoli for mashed potatoes and cheese sauce. I am so excited!
My husband and I went to Ocean City Nj craft show/boardwalk today for our anniversary. We walked like 10 miles and I am feeling pretty good. We got all the necessary treats like salt water taffy, Johnson's Carmel popcorn, fudge, gyros, home made dill pickles, home made beef jerky and beef strips, and ice cream. Lol diabetes in a day trip ha! The treats were all bring home and will be enjoyed over a few days!
Also, when I came home the prints I ordered, that I will be framing for the nursery, came today too!

Pumpkin Patch today with DH and DS. We had a great time. There was a petting zoo with a zonkey and a Camel (and all kinds of goats and cows you could wish for) - of course, DH's sunglasses were more interesting to DS, but I enjoyed scratching the goats' ears and letting the giant percheron horse nibble on my hand (until I saw the 'I bite' sign lol). Then there was a little pumpkin patch that DS got to run around (he loved that part), plus a corn box (sand box but with corn). We had to change his diaper after and shake out all the corn kernels! So much fun. I meant to get a cute bump picture, but each time I was either hugging DS or in the last one, stupid me picked up a pumpkin to hold...
Happy rest of the weekend, everyone! Our a/s is on Monday, and I'm hopeful all is well with the babe (and that we can find out boy/girl - it'd sure make name choosing less of a fight).
On a random note (because it has to be mentioned)... every time I put DS to bed, I sing (either to him or in my head) a few songs, one of them being "I've Been Working on the Railroad". It occurs to me now as an adult, and I have to wonder, do the lyrics hint that Dina was shacking up with someone instead of taking care of her job? Cuz someone's in the kitchen with Dina, 'strummin' on the old banjo
@smushi omg I just googled zonkey, I'd never heard of it!! Cuuuuuute!!!!! :x Sounds like a fun day!! I'm currently making copycat Zuppa Toscana à la Olive Garden....hope it turns out well!

This one was pretty pissed off I felt bad for him. He just stood in the corner with his ears back. I think those are two animals that probably shouldn't mix. Talk about the grumpiest of the animal world. Good luck with the soup! I can't wait to start making soups this fall.
My boys are at their grandparents house tonight. My mom got them matching PJs. And commense this hormonal mama's tears. And holy crap my boys look so much alike!
Morning ladies. My sweet boy requested a photo with his new brother yesterday and insisted upon framing the shot. Wouldn't let me take it until it was "just right." So sweet!
@skruhmin you guys are adorable. Just seeing them reminds me of why I won't mind having all boys (if that is what happens). So much fun to be had if there are 3 little boys. Yeah, I would enjoy having a little girl, but boys are so much fun too and can be just as cute and lovable (as your sons prove). You should be a proud momma. Edit for spelling
