I had salad for my [early] lunch! Go me! 

....I mean, it may have been a taco salad topped with so much unhealthy goodness, but it has SALAD in the name, so it counts. Right?!  

I'm on my own tonight and wasn't sure what to eat. The taco posts were tempting but you nailed it with taco salad! Wendy's it is!!

MsBeachNJ

Because of this thread, I went to the store to buy the makings for tacos for dinner...and I also some how came home with these...oops!? I'm not sorry!!

crdo

Now I want a fruity pebble topped taco salad with a JBC, frosty, and fries from Wendy's. Also doritos.

Ok, maybe not all together, but damn, that all sounds good!

The original plan for tonight was to host a little dinner party at our house for DH's out of town coworker. Ripped up kitchens are not conducive to hosting dinner parties, so the plan changed to taking him out to dinner. Well. It's 6pm, and DH has YET to confirm whether we are actually going out to dinner or not. It's all I can do not to call and yell "FOR FUCKS SAKE ARE WE GOING TO DINNER OR NOT". I need to know whether to put on pants!! Self-control is hard when you're hangry.

@ahernandez16  we have pics of our guy in the rock n play, pack and play and also used him for our demonstration of how the double stroller would work. He was in the infant seat behind DD! We also fail miserably. lol.

I had Taco bell for lunch and absolutely NO regrets. If I could have it again for dinner I would. 

ahernandez16

@HighFive16 haha! So glad we're not the only ones. I have a Boba wrap expected to arrive on Thursday. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't going to try it out on him. They'll make for great baby book photos.

My baby is made of Apple Jacks. I looooove Apple Jacks right now. Great breakfast and afternoon snack and late night snack. I just try not to have it twice a day if I can help it, but it's so hard!!

I don't feel like a true regular, but enough to feel kinda part of the group. Because I don't comment that much, but I "heart" so many things and read a lot! I also haven't read the sex thread since the first day when I realized it was about sex of the baby and not having sex!

I now want Apple Jacks! Good thing I already needed to go to the store on my way home!

I'm also not a regular but read everyday and trying to be more involved!

I am having a nachos and (dealcoholized) white wine for dinner. I win at life, as usual.

I had a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch and left over tacos for dinner. Winning over here, too.

Im in bed with a full size bag of dill pickle chips. This is my dinner. I'm so happy.

I made the easiest crock pot dinner tonight. Chicken breasts, a can of cream of chicken soup, a can of evaporated milk (5oz); slow cook for 8 hours on low. Toast some almonds for 5 min on medium heat. Top chicken/sauce. We put it over rice. Yum.

I'll prob still have some Doritos around 9, though.

I'll join the Fruity Pebble love...I have a half eaten box on my kitchen counter I may or may not mix sometimes with Lucky Charms.

I ate frozen taquitos and mini tacos with queso blanco for dinner. Not ashamed at all!!

Found out I got approved to teach private ice skating lessons starting at the end of the month! Today was a good day

MrsAlliKat

Congrats @NicknShan!!

My husband is a sweetie. Last night I begged him to pack lunches for the 5 of us because I was too tired and he obliged. Then he drew little pictures on the bags for everyone. This is mine

@NicknShan CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Welcome to team blue!!!!

VikingGirl12

@NicknShan I was super excited to see a reg post in the sex thread! Congrats!!

MrsAlliKat

I put a deposit down for a daycare to guarantee we have a spot in September when we need it. I feel like it is such a weight lifted off my shoulders since almost everywhere I called and visited has a long wait list. Whew!

I absolutely love when Love Actually comes on at Christmas! One of my favorites. So sad.

I don't like having a short torso. My long legs can stay, but I fear where this baby is going to go at some point when there's no more room to go up. I feel like I look bigger than I am, and this belly is just going to keep getting bigger.

I am convinced that this is going to be me...

MsBeachNJ

@mrsschmity I have the opposite problem! I have a long torso and I feel like I should have much more of a bump for being 17 weeks tomorrow!! I feel like I'm dressing to try to make myself have a bump... because right now my chest is the only thing getting bigger!!

The struggle is real @MsBeachNJ! My boobs haven't gotten much bigger at all yet, but I feel like I'm really going to "pop" at any point now.

Ditto! My old pants still button, albeit a bit uncomfortably, because my bump just isn't really there because the baby is hiding in my damn torso. The doctor wasn't concerned last week with my lack of bumpage but I may or may not have have a breakdown the other night because I didn't look pregnant yet.

Ice cream = pregnant lady happy hour. Cheers to you, cookies 'n' cream.

VikingGirl12

All this talk about steak on the what you should do thread is killing me. I may just be getting DH to get us medium rare steaks to go from Texas Roadhouse tonight....

Kballew10

@crdo - I have ice cream at home, but not Cookies 'n Cream.  That sounds soooo good right now!

HighFive16

We can achieve world peace with ice cream... I know if we just gave it to everyone, everything would be ok! Haven't had cookies 'n cream in ages though.

I just ate a banana instead of the piece of candy I wanted.  I still want the candy.  Now I have a strong feeling I'm just going to eat the piece of candy in 10 minutes, so eating the banana was pointless.  I should just give in to my cravings.  

mrsschmity

My sister came over today to help me get some pictures up on the wall, and then we spent a good 2 hours looking at baby stuff online and slowly started adding things to a private registry so I can keep track of things I like.

I am trying not to get overwhelmed, but THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS. Where do you guys go to get the best reviews on car seats, strollers, baby carriers, etc?

MrsAlliKat

@mrsschmity I have found www.lucieslist.com to be helpful. I've also been asking all of my recent mom friends. It can definitely be overwhelming!

Yep, lucies list and the Baby Bargains book were great.
