    @mileswithmyles I need to get back into the dry shampoo, but I'm cheap and the one I've used in the past made my hair look white where I sprayed it.

    @sandbar517 DS sometimes says he has a baby in his tummy, too!  Try not to beat yourself up about the pull-ups.  They won't remember and it will all be okay!  Night training took us a long time.  I just bought the Batiste dry shampoo for brown hair and I am going to try that one out to see if it looks less white.

    @mileswithmyles I use the dark hair Batiste and it definitely blends nicer than the original. It has a bit of a scent to it but it's not a bad smell, just different than the original Batiste. Also I get mine from Marshalls/Winners since it's even cheaper there :)

    @fraufarbissina, I know I've mentioned it at some point in the past, but if the girls weren't identical, there is no way we would have found out Baby A's sex before she was born.  She always had her legs crossed up under her bum, and would not budge.

    @mileswithmyles I've been pretty lucky with my hair not getting too greasy. Dry shampoo was also the best thing ever. Of course this schedule gets interrupted if I workout. I have to wash it after that. 

    Yes, the toddler struggle is real lol

    @suchaglencoco I almost bought window clings for DS, but I didn't know if he could handle them.

    We're in a rough sleep patch and it's making me even more exhausted if that's possible! On the flip side he's been so cute about the baby and will randomly say "I'm having baby sister, I'm going to nug (snuggle) the baby." So cute

    GTKY:  What is your hair care routine?
    Lately its shower and put my hair up because lazy. Usually it's shower, blow dry and straighten or shower and leave curly.

    On mobile and it won't copy...

    How far: 11w 6d

    Team: undecided. I want to be team green but DH wants to find out so badly.

    Other kids: DS is 2.5

    Rants/Raves/Qs: it's just been a long week and I'm looking forward to the weekend, but not really. DH killed his car and needs mine all weekend. So I'll be stuck at home in 40 degree rainy weather with a two year old and not able to get out of the house for a break.

    GTKY: well I'm still adjusting to having more hair. I donated all twenty inches of my hair about 15 months ago and shaved it at a St. Baldricks shavaton. So for a long time I would just use water when I showered because I basically had a buzz cut. I would use shampoo to rid any oil about once a week. Now it's more of a pixie/bob style. I wash it like twice a week wish shampoo and then use conditioner once every other week to help avoid splits. I just let it air dry too. I've had the same bottle of shampoo and conditioner for over a year!!

    11 weeks 2 days...I'm so jealous sometimes of all you guys who are so much farther than I am!  Here I am still in first tri and y'all are talking babymoons and the sex of your babies!!  No fair!  ;)

    Boy/Girl/ Team Green/Surprise?
    We'll find out but most likely not until January.

    I am with all of you talking about your toddlers!  DS is going through a "I do it myself" stage, but then whines "I need heeeeelllllppppp" for the most ridiculous things.  I went to a conference for him yesterday.  He's doing great!  His teacher said he is smart and communicates very well.  She said he needs to work on independence and that he needs some chores.  It's so much easier to just put his jacket on... I need to allow for extra time when we leave in the morning, so he can practice.

    GTKY:  What is your hair care routine?
    A little work as humanly possible!  I typically wash it every other day. If I wash it, I typically blow dry it unless it's the weekend.

    @theletlers that is awesome about donating your hair

    @pearlvirus I get an exasperated sigh from DS on the regular now.  It drives me crazy but also cracks me up.

    @Ceridwen77 happy belated birthday to your LO

    @zizzabell523 I am waiting for the relief, too.  I had two good days in a row and thought it had come.  Then I got to experience my breakfast for a second time on my way to work today.  Whomp whomp

    @JNCPro3130 We had that conversation with our dentist about me helping DS with brushing his teeth.  I told him that I do at night because I have time to fight the battle with him, but that in the morning, I don't have time for the fight/meltdown that occurs because he wants to do it himself.  The dentist has small kids too was like, "Yeah, that's a good plan."  

    RE: kids and independence.  DS has now decided that he can wipe his own behind after using the potty.  It hasn't been going well and is one of the few things I wish he would say he needs help with.  Blech.

    @theletlers, yes!!! I/we pick up before nap and then I pick up before DH gets home. Most nights, he doesn't pick up their play room and it's so annoying. Just pick it up or better yet, have them pick it up at bed time. That'll keep it consistent! 
    We had another light talk today about them almost being 2 and needing to clean up more and clearing their place at the table soon. So hopefully, it'll start happening, but I won't hold my breath.

    How far along are you?  15 weeks today

    Boy/Girl/ Team Green/Surprise? Hopefully team Pink

    How old are your other kids? 18.5 months

    Rants/Raves/Questions (related to being a STM, stages your kids are going through, or anything else)- Viking can't actually say no yet, but he makes it clear he means no.  All. The. Time.  I hope it's just a toddler thing, but I have a feeling he will always be a boundary pusher.

    GTKY:  What is your hair care routine? Eh...twice a week?  I wear it up most of the time, and only blow dry it Monday morning because I work 2nd shift that day

    @mileswithmyles Sometimes my daughter will want to wipe her bottom and I just tell her she has to wait because Mommy has to go first. Then she wipes her already clean bottom. Works for now anyways! 

    The past week when we've gone in her room in the morning, she's wearing a dress and shoes already! Mostly over her pajamas but she got them off on her own once. So cute and funny, but man, I am worried she is going to wreck her dresses by stretching them all out.

    He's doing great at Mamaw's house and they've taken him to Disney twice already. I hope this next one loves Disney as much as he does.

    GTKY:  What is your hair care routine?
    I wash it every few days and air dry it. Once every few weeks I'll put leave in conditioner in it. I try to get my hair trimmed and colored every six weeks. Since I'm back to my original color for now I'm not too worried the color.
