    @hlm184  I kept the pasta separate.  It would be fine if you combine them before freezing but could make the pasta a little mushier when reheating.  The soup itself will freeze very well.

  • I must've given DH the nesting bug. This is madness!
  • MIL called me for her monthly "due date countdown" and wouldn't stop talking. She did the same thing for the year leading up to our wedding...sigh.
  • I finally shampooed the carpet in the nursery today. Our crib came yesterday, and I am willing the carpet to dry so I can put it together!

    Happy birthday @celticlullaby!

    That lasagna soup sounds awesome!

    I want ice cream, but I don't want to get off the couch to get any

    This baby hasn't at all yet, but DD did all day every day. Even now at almost 4 she still gets the hiccups ridiculously often and once she gets them she has them most of the day!

    Ugh so frustrated and probably over emotional. Ordered dinner from a place about 10 mins away. They said 40 mins, it took an hour and mine showed up made completely wrong. I called and they're remaking it and sending complementary potato wedges, but it's gonna be another 20 mins. It's always mine that gets messed up. I'm starving and ridiculously upset by this. Just went and locked myself in the bedroom to cry and watch something on the DVR while we wait for mine because I refuse to sit there while DH and DSS eat their correctly made dinners.
    This always happens to me! I always get so irrationally angry and upset about it. My DH always knows its going to be a huge problem when they get my food wrong. And it's always either the most important part of the meal or my favorite part! Once I ordered a chicken Cesar salad and they forgot the dressing! Normally I do not eat red meat or pork and a lot of the time if we order take out they forget to substitute the beef/pork or whatever for chicken and it is usually ruined for me because I wouldn't eat it! I don't blame you for being upset. Hope they get it right this time and you can enjoy your dinner!

  • So we have been snowed in and on a city wide state of emergency the last 2 days.. No one is supposed to be on the roads cause we have a foot of snow covered with 2 inches of ice so it's pretty wild.. Anyway watching the news 2 women had to deliver in the back of an ambulance last night and today cause they couldn't get to the hospital. I want to read their birth stories. I can't imagine!
    oh portlandia....
    we're enjoying our 6 inches of snow over here.  and by enjoying, i mean people are freaking out too. :)  i actually am enjoying it. i love me some snow!

  • Thoroughly enjoying the Beatles tribute.
  • I didn't realize how tight my bra was u til I took it off. Do I cave and buy a new one now? Or just wait till after baby is born and my boobs change again?

    I'm doing whatever I can to wait until after baby - only 8ish more weeks right?
    That's what I'm thinking. I have actually gotten away with the same one since pre pregnancy this whole time just shoving them in and going about my day. Bras at my size are so expensive.

    Also.. Where can I get larger nursing bras?

    Is it the band that's tight, or are you spilling out the cups? If it's just the band, you can get a band extender to get you by until after baby. I believe I picked mine up at Target, but I honestly don't recall cause it was during my last pregnancy...If anythin, they would llikely have them at a department store...

    ETA sites to get larger nursing bras:

    Big Girl Bras - https://www.biggerbras.com
    Lady Grace - https://www.ladygrace.com

    I shop these sites for my everyday bras cause I wear a K cup...they have nursing bras that will fit me...so I'm certain you'll find something too!

  • I think I just destroyed my favorite glass pitcher because pregnancy brain caused me to forget that pouring piping hot liquid into a freezing-cold refrigerated glass container is not a good idea.  Noticed it was leaking when I went to put it back in the fridge and stuck it in the sink just in case. *facedesk*

    Had to stop sexy time with DH because i started feeling nauseous and something I'm assuming was Braxton hicks. Ugh so disappointing :( helped DH finish but not in the cards for me. First time in the pregnancy that we've had to stop mid deed...there's been times I just couldn't get into it, but this was the first time I had to push him away in the middle of it. Boo :(
    yeah i almost threw up during a few weeks ago. my indigestion got really bad and i didn't think i was going to get to him finishing.  i was so thankful when he finally did.....

  • @jennypenny1014 Thanks for the idea of getting a band extender!  I just bought a few clearance bras at target in a bigger cup size and bigger band size.  The cup size fits great but the band is still leaving marks.  

    @deidremaria I'm sorry your sister is not respecting your wishes.  One of the things I do not like about FB is other people's ability to post pictures of you regardless if you want them posted or not.  I'm so glad FB wasn't around during my college days!

    @pineconey I'm glad you had a great shower!  Any pics to share?

    @deidremaria I don't know if this is helpful in your situation at all, but I'm going to send out a mass email to my fam asking they respect our wishes of not posting anything, tag our names, or post photos on fb period. If we choose to do so then that's our choice. Its mainly directed at my step brother who is overly fb happy status happy and I know he adds randoms off the internet. So I'm just using the privacy issue excuse because I don't know their friends and do t want people I don't know being able to view photos or my name easily. Also, I was toying with the idea of designating my sister to post on fb that I'm in labor, if she wants to, because I know all the people on her fb. So, just have like a 'designated' person and then let that be it. I'm not sure if it's helpful at all in your situation but it's the most tactful way I can think of doing it without hurting people's feelings.

    I love that idea. I used tact when I first asked that they not share pics or anything. I'm much more private about my fb and Instagram so the designated person is basically me. The thing that bugs me is my sister thinking she has a right to upload these pictures even though I've respectfully asked her not to. She even went as far as to say "what do you think I want pictures for" and my response was "I send those pictures for you, not your fb friends". I'm really beginning to worry how about how much of an issue this is going to be when the baby is born. I don't want them snapping tons of pictures of him/her and just posting them because I really have no intentions on flooding social media with pictures of my baby.

  • @embear22 exactly. She didn't share the pics from yesterday, thank god! But I do plan to ask my twin not to send her anymore pics of me. I also need to find a way to make sure she's not snapping hundreds of pics while she's here because she's flying in from NY for the baby's birth. I truly don't mind sharing pics with my family but I seriously draw the line at them being online much less shared by someone who is NOT me. It got to the point where I had to tell her that if I wanted those pics online I'd post them myself.
  • I woke up to a text received at 3AM that said "Baby is on its way."  Ha!  I don't *think* I sign up to be anyone's labor buddy, so I hope it's not anyone on here.

    Usually any texts I get from wrong numbers are booty calls, since my number got accidentally (?) listed on an escort website some time ago, so this was a nice change. :)
  • @Mamamonzo Good luck!

  • @colleenSwerb I wondered about them stretching out. I wish I could find thick strap nursing tanks. I'm going to have to do some more shopping.
    Try undercover mama.  The tank doesn't have straps, it just attaches to the nursing bra, then you wear a shirt over top.

    My SIL made hers. She bought thick strap Tanks and cut them, added a little extra fabric and snaps and it worked perfect! I'm not crafty at all so she is making mine!

    Did anyone hear about the woman who drove from Denver to Wisconsin to steal her stepsister's newborn? She faked like she was visiting just to steal him. She faked her pregnancy on social media sites with a prosthetic belly and everything before she did it! 8-}
  • I hope you receive good news @mamamonzo.
