My baby shower dress came and looks AMAZING... But it's a foot too long lmao
I feel you sister.
#shortpeopleproblems
We did a shopping trip for some maternity clothes this weekend, and I was thrilled to find a maxi-dress that fit in length (5'3" if I stretch a little, hehe)- especially since the other 4 I tried on were at least a foot too long. That said, I tried on an adorable sundress that I fell in love with, and was pleased that it hit right at that spot on the knee that makes your legs look super skinny- and was then informed by the saleslady it was meant to be a "mini-dress". Well, no one needs to see my pregnant cooter, so I'm pleased at the length, dammit!
I got some aden & anais muslin blankets and wanted to practice swaddling. I have no dolls or anything, but I do have a small dog. It did not go well. Ever tried to swaddle a 17-pound terrier mutt?
Can't say I ever did that, but I did practice the wrap carrier on our 9 lb mutt. He liked it a little too much (but then he's always trying to get closer to me anyways, I suppose).

I wish I had a smaller dog so I could try the ergo.
I had an apple, a babybel cheese, and a chocolate chip granola bar for lunch because I was too lazy to bother to go to the faculty lounge and use the microwave.
I cannot stop farting. I know I talk about my ass and its expressions a lot, but FFS, I feel like I may propel my wheely desk chair around the office soon. Also, DH is either nose-deaf or incredibly polite, because he keeps walking into my malodorous areas and never says a word, never makes a face. It's impressive.
So, I'm gonna AW this because, well, I want to. Our little man has a name!! His name will be either Easton James or Easton Daniel. (James is my dad, Daniel is my FIL). I'm leaning towards Easton James but can't decide if it's because James is my dad or because it actually flows together better. Either way, he finally has a name!!
I like both! A lot of boys end up with initial nicknames (like A.J.) and in case your son went by his, E.J. vs. E.D.- erectile dysfunction. I don't know if this helps push you towards the one you're leaning towards, but I've seen too many people with weird initial issues. :-)

I like the flow of Easton James better, but I understand your dilemma. If this LO is a boy he will either be Thomas Edward or Edward Thomas (Thomas is my dad, Edward is FIL). I prefer Thomas first, but also don't know if it's just because I'm partial to my dad.

I'm just waiting for this to happen in our house with the carrier, stroller, and everything else DH and I can come up with
My shower is 11 days away and only 10 things have been picked off my registries... Don't get me wrong I will so greatful for anything we get but I thought more of it would be gone. : / meh

And I'm now totally being the judgey FTM that probably has no clue while reading facebook... but a girl I knew in college is posting about how her 4 year old cut his forehead on their ceiling fan and all I can think is "How?!?"
My uncle did this to my cousin while lifting her up and swinging her around. I only found out recently, but it explains a lot. lol.
I'm glad I'm too short to ever have to worry about lifting my child into a ceiling fan.
DH just called me. He's a truck driver and is finally on his way home from work. One of his routes, that he had never been on before, required him to use Google to find the stop. Google took him through a state park to get there... in his huge semi. He was on a 900 ft mountain with nothing but rocks and mud surrounding him. At one point, he said one of the back tires slipped off the edge and hit an oak tree.
That oak tree was the only thing keeping him on that one-lane road. He was on it for three hours without cellphone service. The road started off paved and then became dirt so there was nowhere he could turn around or get off. He just had to drive through.
He called me and said, "I didn't think I was coming home to you" and I just started bawling. Ugh, I can't even think about it. I can't even let myself go to that place.
So I know our husbands can be jackasses, ladies, but hug them tight tonight. I'm making mine call in to work tomorrow.

I have died every day waiting for you. Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years. And all along I believed I would find you, time has brought your heart to me. I have loved you for a thousand years. I'll love you a thousand more.

In my experience, people tend to buy gifts right before the shower. So, 11 days is really still lots of time :-)
Our son has taken to saying fucking, well focking. It all started when he and mh were sitting on the couch together in their jammies. DS asked mh for a drink of water. Mh handed ds the glass of ice water mh just made. Ds didn't have it completely and dumped the whole glass into my husband's crotch. Mh's knee jerk reaction was to jump straight up and yell "fucking a!" Whoops...working on eradicating it from his lexicon.

Today is DH's birthday and so I surprised him at work with balloons and a cake. But bring the mischievous wife that I am, I decided to prank him when I got home. He showed up, opened the door, and got covered in silly string. I used the whole freaking can on him. He was a good sport about it
Okay so, this may not seem like a big deal to some, but I just threw up for the first time since fifth grade (I'm 25 now)! Somewhere in middle school I developed this ridiculous fear of vomiting and thought I would just die if I ever got sick. Call me crazy, but I'm almost glad it happened. It totally wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
I know, I'm ridiculous right? It's the little things in life haha. (Although I'm still hoping it was a one-time deal!)

Had a doctors appointment today and the good news is everything looked good at my anatomy scan.
Except apparently the baby's head is slightly elongated. My doctor said she wasn't worried at all but I cannot help but be anxious. We have a follow up scan in four weeks.
I hope everything's ok! Keep us updated! T&P's for you and LO.
I am a shortie as well and my husband likes to compare me to the Smurfs and often says I'm three apples high. It's not like he's even that tall, he's only 6'0"...

Bought it off the lot a couple years ago and it feels AH-MAZING! Used this as an excuse to buy chocolate cupcakes for "celebration."
