Ate too much Pad Thai. It was so good. Now I'm paying for it.

Pad thai sounds amazing right now...

Highly recommended. Just try to stop eating before I did. LOL.

Went to the fabric store to get what I needed for a tiered ruffled crib skirt. Saw an embroidered sheer that I immediately knew I couldn't live without but it won't go in my original design. Now I have to rethink the whole project! And I actually thought I was going to get a project completed today. Oh well.

scarles · January 2014

We put up the letters over the crib today! I love it!

I love the name Owen! From your choices, I much prefer Owen Reid.

My cloth diapering class was so helpful! I was incredibly overwhelmed by the whole thing beforehand and now I feel like we can do it. My husband is on board with it too.

YAY! It's not quite as overwhelming once you get into it. It actually becomes a little addicting

Do you know what kind you want to use?

@Mamamonzo - I think a pajama baby shower would be fucking AWESOME! If I were planning my own shower I'd totally do that. Serve breakfast foods and coffee/mimosas and have everyone come in pjs? What's not to love??

RocksInTheWater · January 2014

@fireflygirl12 Owen is on our list so that gets my vote

@Mamamonzo My shower is going to be at 10:30 a.m. so we could totally get away with a pajama shower! That would be awesome.

We have our 4th cancelled school day tomorrow due to cold weather (in Minnesota). We now have to make up the school days we miss and I'll be on maternity leave when that happens. I'll have to see what my options are since I will be on my unpaid portion of my leave at the end of the year.

After my heartburn from too much Pad Thai settled down, I ate an orange. It was way better than I thought it would be. Now I'd like to eat many, many oranges.

MrsL13 · January 2014

Akron University is closed on Tuesday, that means DH can stay at home with DD and I all day! Yay for snow days!

Mmm...oranges are so good. I need to go to the grocery store but have no idea what I want to buy. I will be adding oranges to my list though!

eireyes · January 2014

I like both Miles and Owen. Basically, I'm no help!

katieharpiceland · January 2014

Just found out some friends of mine just won a grammy. Yay! So fun!

I'm thinking the all in two diapers and the pocket diapers. My cousin recommended the pocket diapers for night time.

Do any of your doctors ever skip fundal height at an appointment? My doctor just listened to the heartbeat last time. I know there's controversy that it's not very accurate so...are some just doing away with it?

I was in the middle of my glucose test and was feeling nauseated so I was concentrating on not puking instead of just asking him.

Today I was telling my IL's that at our hospital the waiting area in L&D is attached to the nursery and there is a window wall where they can watch as LO gets weighed and measured and bathed. MIL asked if she could go into the nursery and give him his first bath! We told her that she wouldn't be allowed into the nursery and I also said "Why would you think you got to give MY baby his first bath, if the nurses didn't I would." I said it in nice way not bitchy at all but I started feeling like I may have made her mad so I asked if she was mad that I said she couldn't give him his bath and she said "Oh, you won't know what is going on..." I wanted to TP her..... Sorry that was long and ranty. Am I being too sensitive?

Uhhh, no. How do people think of these things?? Its your baby, not hers. I'm surprised by all the weirdness that people think that they can do with another person's newborn baby!

tamaraaaa · January 2014

My MIL called to tell DH she wanted to come stay a few days when the baby is born... Uh, yeah right. Only in your dreams and in my personal version of hell...

SoulTermination · January 2014

I have such a rant building up inside me and I have no idea where the hell to start. X( Maybe I'll just go fire up the PS3 and kill shit for a while instead. Rawr!

katieharpiceland · January 2014

My cat is sneezing a lot. He's not acting sick, acting and eating normal, no runny eyes, just sneezing a lot. Its been a couple of days, I'm wondering if I should take him to the vet.

JessieAlbin · January 2014

For the love.. My DH is real sweet and I love that he wants to come to my rescue when my feelings are hurt but geez the drama that went down over a stupid comment was so unnecessary.. Simmer down, husband.

MrsL13 · January 2014

@aronie82 Yep. Gotta love northeast ohio. Haha

sking72 · January 2014

@lindsay808: my doctor just started doing them at my 28 week appointments maybe. Before it was just checking the heart beat.

My OB just did mine for the first time at my 28 week appointment, so maybe yours is waiting for a specific timeframe?

Hmm...they did it at my 24 week appointment :-/

I *think* we have our name narrowed down to 2 and need opinions, but don't really want to post a poll. Our last name is pronounced Sh-roe-der and DS1 is Wesley Eli if that matters. Please help?!

1. Miles Owen
2. Owen Reid or Owen Zane

Owen Reid!

Cinnamon gum: such a head scratcher.... Does it freshen your breath or burn the shit out of your mouth. What is it's purpose!?

janice9821 · January 2014

I want to pack more things but I'm out of boxes and I'm already in my pajamas. Life is so hard.

Feel free to donate any cinnamon gum to me. I will chew it all in an effort to determine its purpose! FOR SCIENCE!

This crockpot talk inspired me to pull out some frozen Barbacoa beef that I had in the freezer for soft tacos tonight! So yummy the second time around that I think I'll be making a nice big batch to freeze before baby comes. It tasted just like Chipotle!

Also a hint for those of you new to crock pot cooking: it'll make a lot of liquid when it cooks. We froze the Barbacoa with so much liquid it seemed like soup, but nearly all of it evaporated when we reheated it on the stove tonight. So save all that yummy juice!

rockstarlaw · January 2014

Shit. What does one do if you've already used a dryer sheet when washing/drying baby clothes? I doubt free & clear dryer sheet helps...is there any way to undo the damage?

rockstarlaw · January 2014

Haha! Damn mobile - I hit post too fast

At least I have a bed. Your bed is a car. Yeah, but it's a fucking sweet car. My roommates said they'd get me rims for Christmas. Or a CB radio; I could talk to other car beds.

My favorite movie

I wish he would hop off that cereal box and hang out with us. I think he's so cute!

What's your recipe for barbacoa?? I want to make it!

rockstarlaw · January 2014

Second request for the barbacoa recipe

We had our maternity/anniversary pictures taken today and it was so fun! Then DH decided we should use one of our gift cards to go out to dinner. So stuffeddddd!

We do serve shots... of wheatgrass.

Anyone want an ice cream sandwich? They're on whole wheat, with lettuce.

Mamamonzo · January 2014

So annoyed. DH's car got stuck in our driveway. He has the flu in the worst way (like not man cold type, he's so sick it's breaking my heart) I called his friend who owns a plowing business to asked if he could help with the car since it's half in the street. Then I asked if he could plow our driveway. It's seriously a 10 ft driveway. I can't shovel and DH should not be doing it! He said yes.... For 20 bucks!!! Seriously? This dude was in our wedding I thought we were better friends than that? DH and I always do favors for friends and NEVER expect payment we just assume they'll help us in a time of need. I was desperate so I said ok... And he actually took the money. Kind of a prick move if you ask me!

sweetmelissa0707 · January 2014

@mamamonzo Ewww, really? I can't believe he'd charge you twenty bucks for a favor. My DH and I would never think to charge a friend for something like that. I'm glad he helped, but he'd be moved to the bottom of the list after something like that. I hope your DH feels better soon.

Nice "friend". Hope your DH gets better soon. That sounds awful!

We hired a guy to plow out our driveway any time we get more than 2 inches of snow. This morning he came by to plow our driveway and we barely had an inch of snow on the ground. We pay him per time so he made money off us when we could have easily shoveled it ourselves. Annoying.
