1. It is categorically unfair that it SNOWED here last week, and this week the pollen count is through the roof and making my life miserable. Does not compute. Snow = freezing = killing of the pollen making things.
2. I get irrationally proud of my boobs if I have a good pumping day at work. It also puts me in a super good mood, to the point where I think my husband was suspicious that I had been snatched by a pod person when I came home yesterday.
I scored a used BOB double jogging stroller in excellent condition this weekend off craigslist for $250! They retail for about $500 so I'm pretty psyched. Note: I doubt I will actually be jogging with this behemoth but it will be good for walking on the uneven pavement around here.
Now if the fucking snow would melt in my neighborhood I might even get out there and use it!

This. Conversely, I get super annoyed when it is a bad pumping day. Like they let me down and/or are doing it deliberately.
Whattttt. I need to see more pics of you with dark hair. Like where I can see your face. And that bathing suit is beautiful, but I am trying to imagine the crazy tan line you must have gotten! Like a paper snowflake cutout on your back.
It makes me kinda sad that I only got 5 months of DDs whole life to not tell her "no". Now that she is moving around our living room, I'm having to tell her "no" when she gets into things. Time to baby proof I guess.
I just got my maternity, newborn and birth photos back and want to AW them everywhere but am trying to show restraint. It took so long because my bff was the photographer and since I don't pay for pictures, I told her to take her sweet time with the edits.
I just ordered an Ergo 360 and am ridiculously excited. So far, DD hasn't been a fan of baby carriers, but I'm hoping that, with the forward facing option, I can at least run short errands and do laundry in the basement.

Too sweet! Thank you! My best friend is so very talented!
I've been feeling kind of down lately and like no one understands me. I like coming on the bump because you all do since you have kids the same age as dd and are going through similar things.
DH just called me to tell me dd rolled from front to back and back again. Yay, another thing I've missed.
I'm feeling kind of down today because I feel like I'm depriving DS of becoming a genius (haha) bc I don't really "stimulate" him much. Example: my cousins daughter is 2 wks older and she is already showing her flash cards of the alphabet and numbers, and she already has her "finger painting" and dying pasta shells for different colors and textures. It's making me feel like a failure bc my idea of a good day is when DS jumps in his jumparoo for more than 15 min without whining, I sing the alphabet to him, count to 10, and play party cake. Hmm. /end dear diary
We listed our house for sale on Thursday and we were under contract by Monday (we're selling it for 30,000 over what we had hoped). Now we are on the hunt for a new house! I am getting so excited to stay at home!
I gave my notice yesterday at work (I chickened out Monday because another girl quit that day too), my boss was so nice and understanding..... Then, today I get a call that they are wondering if I would stay if they made a conference room a daycare (nice, but it would be a huge disaster being it is a dental office and NOT sound proof). Now I am avoiding calling them back because I feel like I'll be giving my notice for the second time...sigh.
Aww, that was sweet of them! They must really want you to stay!
Gorgeous photos @Sweet Tooth 87!
We are euthanizing Remi tomorrow. I know she is starting to be painful, but it doesn't make it any easier. I wish I could be selfish, and keep her around for a while longer, but logically I know it isn't fair. I'm just heartbroken.
I am so, so sorry. That is such a hard thing to do.
@MosyMama That's what my mind tells me too. He's 5 mos old, he would probably much rather eat the flash cards than look at them. It still sucks feeling this way tho!! Parenthood is a constant guessing game (aside from common sense of course).
@afolske106 - I don't do anything like that with my girls either. Sometimes I feel guilty about it, but I think a lot of that kind of stuff is overkill at this age. I'm sure our LOs will be just fine!
@Brandontricia I kinda hate you right now...we're taking a bigger loss than we thought on selling our house because were afraid it's the best offer were going to get. Not to mention my sister (who isn't hard up for money) sold hers for profit and is moving in with my parents (rent free of course) while they look. Totally should've sold and leeched off the 'rents for awhile to take our time house hunting...
Oh, and I don't really hate you Congrats on the big sale and work stuff--I'm sure it's nice to feel wanted/needed!
Fifi gave me a huge ass hickey on top of my boob. I was talking to a friend while wearing her, and she was just like "I could suck on that." I look like a MFing high schooler who wants to show off her make-out session.

My random thought: I feel so much better today! (I've been sick.) Now I sound insensitive toward all the downers in this thread. Sorry guise.
Hugs ladies
