Weekly Randoms 7/2

happy Fourth of July week! What's everyone got going on? 

seitzy3

I'll start. My inlaws are here from CA and DH and I, really me, don't want to tell them I am pregnant yet. Only 6 weeks and haven't had my appointment yet. They made cheeseburgers for dinner tonight and I cut mine open and it was too red and juicy. I almost vomited in front of them! Plus, I'm coming up with the most BS excuses as to why I'm not drinking, I'm pretty sure they already know. These are the people who told us we should wait to have a fourth but it would be better if we didn't. I'm sorry, what? Didn't know you had a say in our family planning

We are headed home from a work (for DH) / vacation trip. Just spent two weeks in WA. It was so beautiful. But today we left and having been driving for 12 hours now and still have another hour tonight and 8 hours tomorrow. Not fun when you are pregnant and constantly have to go to the bathroom!

My best friend is visiting tomorrow/tues and can't wait to share the news. Hopefully I can keep my vomiting in check though... would hate to gross him out (small condo) lol as it happens almost every night now ick.

What's that count now? Three threads closed and the board has been open barely a month? Goodness.

In other news. I am wide awake and have reflux. I've been up for 2.5 hours now. Already woke DH up and he's back to sleep. If only I could sleep...

excited to finally go home tomorrow. We've been away since the 23rd. It will be nice to sleep in my own bed!

We're leaving tomorrow for the beach! It's our first time traveling with DD and it'll also be her first time meeting the ocean.

@JandJ62914 I'm taking my three girls to the beach this weekend for two weeks. Lord help me! At least I will have my mom there to help. My 10 month old just started walking almost full time now so maybe it will be more fun for her

Oh wow.  I saw the FB one was closed. What were the other 2?  The things you moss when your stuck in a cabin in the middle of the woods for a week and a half without internet or phone service (except when you run to the store for food).

@seitzy3 How fun! Two weeks is a nice amount of time. My 17 month old is a bit of late walker. I was hoping she'd take off by now so we could walk by the water together. Oh well, next year!

**stuck in box**

I am from Washington, what part did you visit..eastern or western?

Chawk17

Well for the fourth the  boys are going to the groomer for a deferminator bath. They are shedding too much.

Then we have to stay home during the fireworks  because our oldest is afraid of fireworks ( we traumatized him in port Angeles when he was a pup).
Then later this week going to Seattle for a mariners game:)

Let's be honest here @JandJ62914 it's way better for me if she can walk so I don't have to carry her around everywhere all the time. I'm sure on the beach she will just continue to crawl since she's faster that way. My second was a late walker too, they eventually get there!

The ones from CADreaming. I'm with you on stuck camping. Headed home today!

I'm confused. Are all the knottie screen names ones that are just generated when you join TB? Like who could remember all those letters and numbers. What's happening here?!

Turtle Pecan Cluster Blizzard is da best. I went to DQ on my way home from work sooo often during my last pregnancy, and it is calling my name again!!!

ramzlau

Ahh! Too many choices for the best DQ blizzard, but now I am craving one! My favorite tends to be one with brownies in it, but depends on my mood. 

Chawk17

sabriel1

My favorite blizzard is the cotton candy promotional one that comes out every so often. Yum

There used to be a banana cream pie one here in Canada but not anymore. it is sad....bur hubby and I  also love the strawberry cheesecake one. 

the_other_mother

Oh yeah @sabriel1 the cotton candy one is delicious. I also enjoy Heath made with chocolate ice cream.

yellow711

@julievdm12 I loved that blizzard.  I was irrationally sad when they stopped selling it at our DQ

@winnie1122 turtle pecan cluster is another really good one.  

I think oreo is my favorite

Someday I want to go to Eastern WA. I really want to visit Spokane!

Chawk17

Spocompton??!! It's a dirty town  
But Gonzaga is a beautiful campus. 

Chawk17

I will say this Washington west side is beautifully green...we are the evergreen State after all.
Eastern Washington is the desert, we are brown land of sagebrush and tumbleweeds . Little rain...not what you think when you think of washington.  But it's gorgeous on this side of the mountain too!

@mamabutt If you put in an emoji it erases everything after it. Plus the emoji!

I would love some ice cream right now. May have to stop at the fro-yo place by my house.

chucksmom15

Now I want ice cream and I'm at work.  Heavy sigh...

Any other work from home moms on here? I'm struggling to get anything done right now. Last pregnancy I was teaching so I was miserable first tri going into work, but at least I got there. Working from home with this nausea makes it way too easy to just give up and go lay on the couch...ugh. My mom has my son and I'm just sitting here getting absolutely nothing accomplished. Anyone come across any good productivity tips for pushing through the fog at home??
