Oh my God. I don't know how to handle this. The vet called to give us the worst news ever. Jada, my sweet 9 yr old rottie, has bone cancer and it is untreatable. They think she only has 3 months to live. THREE MONTHS. I am a total wreck and cannot stop bawling. Right when I am welcoming one baby into the world I will have to say goodbye to my other baby. I don't know how I am going to get through this. Please pray for her.

I'm so very sorry. I went through 2years ago right before my son was born. My 10 year old beagle had a bladder tumor that resulted in extreme pain and we had to have her put down. Lots of hugs to you.

i have been craving potato chips and onion dip. I guess I mentioned it to my hubs at some point and he packed my lunch today and included the flavored potato chips. He just seemed so proud of himself that he remembered what I wanted that I didn't have the heart to tell him that wasn't what I wanted. I'm now sitting here eating these chips and now i want the real thing SO bad!

edit because apparently I suck at this grammar thing.

@cgoldian That is the worst news ever. I am so sorry! Praying your baby can pass peacefully, with little suffering.

Craving healthy has finally hit. I want roasted veggies instead of pasta, frozen blueberries instead of ice cream, and tea instead of Starbucks holiday drinks. Hallelujah! I'm back to almost eating like myself again! Now, if I could just convince my body to accept lettuce and let me eat salads again....

katieharpiceland · January 2014

My dad made it home from work finally. It only took 24 hours. Poor guy!

I really wish my body would start craving things it used to!

jeeze! glad he is home safe. My aunt lives in Atlanta and was saying that the storm hit so quickly and the roads turned to crap so fast that a lot of the kids were stuck at school for the night or worse yet, stuck in a bus on the way home!

I'm so so sorry @cgoldian. That is very heartbreaking. I couldn't imagine getting a call like that about one of my pooches.

This is really sweet and thoughtful! Aw.

Yea! It such a disaster all across the south. There was a story about a 9 month pregnant woman stuck in her car, hadn't eaten in 10 hours, feeling crappy. The ambulance said they just couldn't get to her! I couldn't imagine!!

snmetz7 · January 2014

@katiegummow it really is! Guess I will just have to get the real deal later this week when we go grocery shopping. I love him and his effort though for sure!

Guise I need your help..

Favorite appetizers or Super Bowl food??

JessieAlbin · January 2014

The ambulance might not have been able to get there due to blocked up roads but someone can't trek out on foot to bring that woman a power bar or something?? Come on!

Apparently, after her pleas on facebook, some good samaritan that lived close by offered up their home. Poor thing.

katieharpiceland · January 2014

Ooooh...super bowl food. Spinach artichoke dip? I could probably bathe in that it sounds so good right now.

Stace0616 · January 2014

I still not a huge meat fan right now, but those little sausages in BBQ sauce sounds amazing right now! As does a giant platter of veggies and dip--but mostly for the dip

katieharpiceland · January 2014

Oooh, or the little sausages wrapped in crescent roll dough??? I could eat a boatload of those.

Emily041285 · January 2014

I have so much do to and zero desire to do any of it. I think the mountian of work and house cleaning before the in laws show up tomorrow is too overwhelming.

So instead of working on any of it I'm going to take a nap. Seems productive to me! (:|

KatieGummow · January 2014

You know what always looks good but i always forget about is the crescent roll recipes. Like the jalapeno poppers, mini pizza/calzones, loaded potatoes, and pinwheels. Yummm!

katieharpiceland · January 2014

Crescent rolls....anything with crescent rolls sounds amazing right now.

Serenla · January 2014

@cgoldian @Twirple I am so sorry (((((((hugs))))))

Stace0616 · January 2014

I made a bacon jam last winter and would basically just spread it on crescent dough, roll up and bake for party appetizers. Soooooo effing good! Maybe I should make a batch soon.

On an unrelated note, I do NOT want to shower today. I know I should because I have blonde hair and we are going to a local Indian place for dinner, but OMG the thought of the water on my skin and having to shampoo my hair makes me want to puke. I've basically had to force myself the entire pregnancy--does this feeling go away after birth??

Serenla · January 2014

@kseccomb17 stuffed celery sticks, yum!

Serenla · January 2014

Try crescent rolls with sun dried tomatoes, mozzarella, and pesto.

snmetz7 · January 2014

I found a tube of crescent rolls in my fridge last night, baked them and ate about half of them with butter and jam lol whoops

cgoldian · January 2014

Thanks for the support, ladies. I feel a little better now that she is home from the vet and I can cuddle her. She has lots of good meds and I am going to spoil her as much as I can. As long as she is comfortable, I can be strong. I really appreciate all of your kind words. xoxo

So apparently ladies in okc were very busy 9 months ago....tonight at the birth class we were supposed to take a hospital tour. They didn't have any free rooms. I wish I could remember what happened in March that might have stirred up the desire for sex around here!

There was that wicked tornado last May in Moore...and some wicked thunderstorms that blew through on March 30-31, 2013, but that's all I can find. My bet is the tornado since the timeline fits better.

Congrats!

Serenla · January 2014

I'm hiding in the bathroom to get away from my job, is that practicing for motherhood?

Anyway, I was pondering something and I wonder if any experienced mamas could answer. Is it really nessacary to get a whole bunch of 0-3mo clothing? My mom says that he will most likely not be in them for long and I should just be getting bunches of 3-6mo instead. Thoughts?

Sorry if this has been asked before

I'm afraid Iceland is crescent roll-less. I'm sure there are recipes for it, but, I'm a lazy person now. Maybe when I go on leave I'll go nuts making home made crescent rolls!!! :-D

I need to start weening my cat off of sleeping with me at night, and it's going to break my heart. He's my first 'born' and I just can't imagine him not sleeping with us. But he likes to sleep ON me and I'm just so nervous since we're cosleeping, that he'll want to sleep with the baby.

I think eventually we'll let him sleep with us again, but until he knows that the crib is a no-no, I need to keep him out of there so he gets used to it.

Ugh...anyone else have to do this?

My cat has slept between my legs or on my belly every night since I brought her home 11 years ago, with one exception. When baby was born she avoided the bed for a couple months. I wasn't bed-sharing which is what you may mean (but we were co-sleeping -- aka bassinet right next to the bed) and she kept her distance a bit. She eventually started sleeping on the foot of the bed until baby was moved to his room.

Now my cats are very timid cats, so they generally avoided baby like crazy (even now that he is 2), but most people I know say their cats wouldn't go near baby in the first couple months.

This breaks my heart. My 3 girls love to cuddle and sleep right with me. I'm heartbroken I have to move them! I know it's stupid and hormones are getting the best of me but I don't want them to feel less loved. All of them have their special times of the day when they cuddle. Obviously I will do what's best for the baby, but augh my poor fur babies!!

pineconey · January 2014

LOs kicks have been violent today!! DH felt one and then stared at me in horror. I'm all, "I KNOW RIGHT?!"

thomas930 · January 2014

@Serenla This question is hard to answer since everyone has different experiences. Both my kids were born weighing 7lbs 3oz and between 18-19 inches long. They were in newborn for at least 2 months and 0-3 for a little longer. Babies size is usually the average of mom and dad's size at birth.

I don't hesitate to buy newborn since I get use out of it and my kids would swim in anything bigger.

Is yogurt ok to eat while trying to keep yourself from being constipated?? I never know this one. And I really want some yogurt.

eireyes · January 2014

@kseccomb17 I'm late to the appetizer party, but mini pizza puffs are always a huge hit when I make them! Here's a recipe that's almost identical to the one I use, except for the peppers and basil. DH would pitch a fit if I tried to put healthy stuff in there :P

Edit: I forgot to mention that I just use mini turkey pepperonis instead of cutting up pepperoni - much easier that way! I also usually throw in about 4-6 oz of cooked Italian sausage, broken into small pieces. DH is a meatitarian...

Yes, yogurt is actually good when you're trying to prevent constipation. The live cultures help to keep you regular.
