We drove up to Northern Texas to visit DH's family and our friends from where we used to live. I'm so excited to see everyone! And a neighbor is taking care of our dogs so we don't have to worry about them barking too much or digging in the IL's backyard this time
Currently sipping on some coffee and debating what I want to eat for breakfast. I need some good protein-rich and carb-light breakfast ideas, which is difficult because I can't stand yogurt and eggs are like mehhh. Lol. Eta: oh and without fruit, because apparently I'm not allowed to eat fruit for breakfast anymore.
Doing some yoga in a bit, dinner at MIL's tonight where I forbade DH from mentioning the gd because she will have all sorts of opinions.
In the meantime, obsessively tracking my order from MM that's supposed to get here Wednesday. Give it to me nooooowwww
@bluejeanbabi05 can you tolerate yogurt if you used it and lots of fruit for a smoothie? You could use Greek yogurt which has more protein so you use less of it and also add milk with the fruit. Or make an omlet with the eggs and add in veggies for flavor.
@bluejeanbabi05 Ooh that's hard. Yeah, figuring out a way to make eggs tasty will probably be your best bet. I like @curlyq423 's suggestion to make some omelets, and add lots of cheese to make it good Also if you can have a little bit of carbs, maybe a thin slice of toast with peanut butter or hummus on top?
I had major me time plans involving a mani pedi and summer sandals shopping for today and a picnic tomorrow but then BAM last night I got hit with my first pregnancy cold so I'm in bed all mucous and a sore throat
@jessirh enjoy your weekend!! @bluejeanbabi05 id have such a hard time too deciding on what to eat... As if it wasnt a struggle already before gd! Great timing for Panera lol @curlyq423 enjoy the beach for all of us!! @winterecho get better soon!
Its more of a bfest this morning. Why is it that H cant listen to me when I tell him "you cant set the alarm for 8am, u would only be sleeping 3hours30. Set it for 11 at least" he doesnt listen but ends up snoozing until noon. AM I NOT ALLOWED TO SLEEP A FEW HOURS IN A ROW????? And... I cant just go back to sleep as easily as he does. I know i am a very selfish person. I just never snoozed my whole life. Even when i used to be working. Nothing irritates me like his snoozing for hours (every 5 minutes).
@bluejeanbabi05 I used to hate making omelettes in the morning too. We sometimes make a big batch of omelette muffins and then keep refrigerated throughout the week as needed. Great for snacks or breakfast.
Oh no sorry about your cold @winterecho ! Hope you are able to rest and recoup all weekend instead.

@chocolateislife imma need more info about these omelette muffins!
Here is one of the sites I had pinned! It's so easy and you can make each muffin different. The lady says to freeze the ones you don't immediately use, but we always just refrigerated since we would be eating them within days.

I don't know where I should post this. But I just thought I would let y'all know that when I found out I was pregnant I cut back on my caffine intake. Therefore I eventually gave up coffee and just stuck with sweet tea (Texas girl here). But I would like to announce that I am officially, giving up on giving up coffee.

@yasandson oh yes that would irritate me too! I have done that a few times but felt pretty terrible about it. It was 1st tri though so I totally blame baby for taking over my body then.

Going to the gym this morning, Costco run, yard/garden work, then heading to my SIL's baby shower.
Tomorrow I'm going to start sorting through all the baby stuff that has been given to us. Maybe I'll make it out to Target and Ross to do a little bit of clothes shopping...maybe.
June 2017 Siggy Challenge: "You had one job to do!"
@bluejeanbabi05 I second the omelette type muffins. I'll look for the recipe I have too when I get up...it's 9am and the toddler is still sleeping so I've just been messing around on my phone all morning in bed. It's been GLORIOUS. I wish the dog would bring me a cup of coffee though.
we are watching our friends dog again for a week, I think. I don't even know. He's getting dropped off this afternoon. DD loves this dog so I love to see her happy but I'm not gonna lie when I say it's a little bit of a pain in the butt too since we have 2 dogs of our own. I just always say yes to watching him.
Huge pop up children's consignment sale is going on this weekend. I really want to go but I've spent a lot of money this week and our budgeting talk yesterday has me questioning if I should go or not. Ho hum.
My IL's next door neighbors we're having a garage sale today with baby stuff. I got one of those activity walkers and a whole bag of baby boy clothes for $17!
@bluejeanbabi05 I think i missed the results of your 3 he test since I've been so spotty here this week. Sounds like it wasn't the best news eh? Sorry I hear it but I'm confident you can manage It! Do you like avocados? Those might be a good, filling choice in the AM

I have a BBQ at the Dean's house tonight. Not quite sure why I got the invite. I bet they are just trying to get me to start donating to the College. DS's 2nd birthday party is tomorrow at the park. I wanted to do it out of the house but now it's gonna be 90. Hopefully it's managable!

@bluejeanbabi05 here ls the egg recipe i use. I like that the ham makes a little cup. Be sure to generously spray the muffin tins with cooking spray though, sometimes I have issues getting them out in one piece lol oh and I've also thrown in some chopped red bell pepper before.
@yasandson my DH does that too. He'll set his alarm for 4:30 am planning to get up and work out, but then will repeatedly hit snooze until 6:30/7. It's nice that he's ambitious and all (when he actually gets up to work out) but it drives me crazy because I can't sleep through it.
Today is jam packed with family time. We had brunch with DH's family this morning. My dad is coming to town from out of state - he will be here this afternoon. And then we're all going out for dinner tonight to celebrate my 30th with a bunch of family and friends. I love everyone and I'm so excited to see my dad (it's been almost a year), it's just a lot. I really just want to lounge in bed.

@tyannej. I gave up coffee too because I knew i couldn't only have a little bit haha. I really miss my morning cup, especially when I'm home. I may join you on giving up giving up coffee too!
@tyannej welcome back to the coffee club, lol. I was so glad to be able to go back to my morning cup at around 15 weeks. It was absolutely nauseating to even think about having a sip. I did enjoy the smell of it though.
June 2017 Siggy Challenge: "You had one job to do!"
@beezeemarie same for H, our schedules change a bit during Ramadhan as we only get to eat/drink around 9pm. We end up staying up until 4am. Hence why he (tries!) wakes up at 8 instead of the usual 430am. And yes, very ambitious (i admire them) when he succeeds.... But the rest of the time mannnnnn is it irritating! Growing a human takes a lot of rest dude
I promise I'll catch up and love tit/respond- eventually.
Today was a day day from hell. It was picture day at the studio. So many unprepared. My kids thought they were big enough to change themselves. My 10 year old did okay out but kept forgetting hair pieces. I'm home and finally resting. Dinner is boxed Mac n cheese. I have to be at the show venue for dress rehearsal tomorrow at 9 am.
Right now I'm feet up on the couch and on here trying to keep my eyes open. I wish I trusted DD1 over a hot stove, but were just not there yet.
Your devotion and willpower amaze me @canonmom413.
Thank you @yasandson. I'm a hot mess today. Currently in bed at 7:30 because I need to be up and put the door early my hips and back hurt but I'm digging so hard all the kicks and jabs I'm feeling since babes must have slept with all my running around today. He's currently tumbling so hard I can actually see crazy movement.
@canonmom413 sometimes I have a hard time making myself fall asleep because right now baby girl is still mostly only active when I'm laying down and I just love the sensation so much.
Well guys I made it to the consignment sale and I'm so glad I did. I got this haul for 38 bucks and several items were brand new with original tags attached. I got something like 13 items for baby boy, three things for DD, a maternity tshirt for me, and several books.
I really feel like I'm winning at life right now.
I did have a freak out at first when I realized I have no idea how to dress a little boy, but I think I figured it out lol
@purplestarz you are totally winning at life!! You got awesome stuff!! I love those consignment sales. Does the grey onesie in the front say Seattle?? Love it!!
We attended a local Touch A Truck event this afternoon. It was really fun! DD loved it - fire trucks are now the "best ever"! She was exhausted afterwards so we all came home and napped for a couple hours. Then headed to DH's school to pick up his computer, followed by dinner at Panera. It was a great day!
Now we're having family movie night and watching Trolls in bed while I do a load of DD's clothes in the washer. DH is taking her to the inlaws for a sleepover Sunday-Wednesday. Looking forward to the quiet and working on organizing everything for LO. Not looking forward to the threenager attitude that I'm 99.9% sure will return with DD, after being with grandma and grandpa. But it'll be nice to have a break!
Today was awful. Spent it in the ER. My husband and I (though separated) decided to take DS on a day trip to the zoo which is 2.5hrs away. We're in Texas, and it is HOT. I thought I was hydrated enough, but apparently not. I blacked out, fainted, smashed my face, hands, and knees into the concrete, put multiple holes in my lips, knocked out my front tooth and chipped 2 others. I am so upset about this all The ER stiched my tooth into place as a temporary fix until I can get to a dentist on Monday. And everything hurts so bad! I'm grateful that baby was ok and nothing worse happened, but I'm still so bummed and upset. Fortunately, H is staying over tonight and has been super helpful and comforting through it so far.
October 2017 May siggy challenge - Parenting fails
@sdarling2010 yes it does! I used to live north of Seattle, and I felt like this onesie was calling to me lol and I'm totally jealous of your DDs sleepover. What I would give to have a few days break! I feel horrible for saying that but...yeah. Sounds nice.
@flowerintherain oh man, I'm so sorry. That sounds awful but I'm so glad it wasn't any worse!
@purplestarz we have that big sister book. It's a great one!
@flowerintherain so very sorry you had such a horrible accident. Glad you're home and baby is okay!! Take it easy today. I hope DH remains to be a helpful today.
@flowerintherain Hope you are feeling better and happy the baby is doing good. It's so hard to tell if your hydrated enough.
We traveled to Tuscaloosa to see my Mil compete in the Senior Olympics. Then traveled to Huntsville to attend my husband's yellow ribbon ceremony for his upcoming deployment. I am so tired of being in the car, but happy nothing is swollen yet
Anyone else annoyed at the $50-75,000 car suggestions on @OliveOyl2014 car thread? She mentioned options that aren't gonna kill a budget and some of the most expensive SUVs out there are mentioned. I know everyone's budget is different, but it screams to me "Look at this type of car I can afford!"
In full disclosure we own higher end vehicles but I'm not gonna suggest them to some looking for more reasonably-priced options!

I love smoothies for breakfast and can definitely tolerate yogurt in them, but I'm now not allowed fruit! Lamo.
The omelettes are a good idea, just labor intensive for a morning meal, lol. I'll probably end up going with scrambled eggs most mornings.
