@joules235 I love live shows and plan on having baby attend from an early age. Can't wait for cute toddler dancing! I actually put these on my registry since there are some outdoor shows I want to see this summer with baby Noah in tow.
DH went to the store last night to pick up two things: milk and bread. Goes to open them this morning and discovers he bought the wrong milk AND the wrong bread. I laughed my ass off.
H suggested sexy time earlier and I thought "okay, maybe I can get into this" so I got back in bed and things started to get going, but I was feeling uncomfortable. So I said "ugh, I feel like a beached whale lying here" and he responded "well I wanna f*ck the beached whale." *record scratch* Uh, what? I got out of bed and got dressed. Sorry DH, take care of yourself.
(Note: DH definitely stands for dickhead in this situation)

OMG I can totally see my DH saying that too men just don't think sometimes! He didn't mean it in a bad way but yeah I would react the same! Smh...that's why we don't even go there anymore lol

Yep he was definitely using his southern brain! When I told him I didn't like what he said, he replied "what? I was just going with the conversation." Men just don't get it sometimes.
Spent over an hr making a poster size collage of all the pics we've taken so far of Henry for our baby shower tomorrow or as I like to call it Henry's Party!!! Can't wait!!
Happy Birthday @ugabamafans!! Repost from 4/1 that I just posted in old thread...
Well CRAP!! I think I peed on myself today! So maybe tmi, but I went to the bathroom, peed, wiped, got up, pulled my pants and walked out of the bathroom and a few seconds later felt something leak out soaking my underwear and crotch of my pants!!! I of course FREAKED OUT bc I thought my water broke or something (I'm a FTM at 32 weeks) Sooo I made poor DH smell my pants to see if it smelled "sweet" like I read amniotic fluid is supposed to smell. He wasn't sure...I did have a lot of pressure really low when I tried to pee so I'm guessing when I got up the baby pushed the rest of the pee out. I'm pretty sure it was pee bc no leaking since and I read amniotic fluid would continue to leak...so yeah...made DH smell my pee!!! Smh.... ( X_X
just got back from our beach vacation and it was amazing. I didn't bump or FB or anything the whole trip and it was so relaxing and wonderful. just wanted to share some pictures from our trip I hope everyone had a great week!
So I scored a used glider for $26 last weekend! It's in good shape but the removable padding is ugly and worn out. I googled new cushions for it but they are like $100 and up. Since outdoor furniture is at stores now I might go see if I can buy some outdoor cushions that will fit. Anyone purchase new cushions for their glider? Where did you get them? I'm not sure I'm crafty enough to recover them. For reference they are the kind that tie on sort of like this:
Of all the times that my laptop could break it has to happen now. 3 weeks before I graduate...fuck
@joules235 -I'm sorry. I had that happen to me just before I finished undergrad. I'm so glad I had my stuff saved to a USB drive then (before Dropbox). I hope you find a simple solution in the meantime.
H and I have five colleges graduations between us and years of working with undergrads to couch for the fact that ALL laptops know when graduation is approaching and kill themselves. H once lost a 20 page paper the day before it was due.
So I bought this dress for my shower next weekend:
I got it from Kohl's and they only had navy in the store. But they have a coral one online. Tempted to order the coral one and return the navy since the coral one is more springy and I always wear dark colors. But I already bought jewelry to go with the navy dress. It's coral colored jewelry so it wouldn't go with the coral dress and I don't really have time to go shopping again before my shower. What do you guys think?
Hard to tell from the tiny pics but the dress is lacy. Here's the link.

Ohh pretty dress! I need to find one for my shower. Maybe I will check out Kohls. How does the dress fit? I have yet to try one on that doesn't make me look wide and I really am not wide so it's annoying.
Since Stabby Sturday/Sunday seems to be a thing of the past I will just be random here.
We ave had severe thunderstorms this week and Lincoln woke at 4:45 this morning. To his credit, my husband got up twice to tend to him but I still couldn't ever fall back asleep. So naturally Lincoln's mood was foul all through church and continues to be. And he refuses to nap. He is in his bed talking to himself. Blugh.
Does that mean I can eat the mangoes now? Because we found this new grocery store with great produce prices and I just bought everything. Our fruit bowl is surrounded by fruit heaps.
And and and that freshly ground peanut butter that is so good.
I just want to fist pump out of fruit joy when I go in the kitchen.
If I say that I just ate a package of strawberries, it doesn't sound so bad.
If I say I just ate a POUND of strawberries, it sounds bad.
Yum! I think this sounds great! Just don't be surprised if you have multi-colored poop. I ate an entire package of raspberries the other day. Pooping the next day was... Interesting? Colorful?

Eat as many strawberries as you want! Eat all the strawberries!
A pound of strawberries is not going to hurt you or the kid, you are just giving your LO a taste of the good life!
Fruit is free on Weight Watchers and you can eat as much as you want. I always do.
We went to Babies R Us to buy a breast pump. We grabbed the box, paid and were waiting for someone to grab it. Turns out they didn't have it in stock, so we had to return it and repurchase it online at the store. They offered us a 20% coupon for the inconvenience, which we applied to our stroller! More than we were planning on spending today, but that was the last big purchases.
@joules235 I have been craving watermelon and other summer fruits my entire pregnancy. I can't wait to have a good watermelon!
God, me either! I want watermelon and nectarines so, so bad. But good, in-season watermelon and nectarines!
I am going through a fruit craze too. A pound of strawberries and a cantaloupe is nothing to me these days lol. My poor tummy is wondering WTF is going on though haha.
I'm really sorry in advance for posting this and grossing you out, but I have no where else to share it and I'm so excited: I've been able to poop without bleeding (thanks, hemorrhoids) for THREE DAYS STRAIGHT. Guys, this is so exciting. No more toilet trauma.
DH got C up and dressed this morning, and at 9 when I was fading fast on the couch, he told me to go back to bed...so I did and slept an extra 90 minutes! Then I took a nice long shower, fed C lunch, and then he stayed with C all afternoon while I went to a bridal shower and ran some errands. I so needed the extra rest this morning and a little alone time. Love that man of mine
Any suggestions on good high fiber foods? Kinda plain easy to fix foods? I take a supplement everyday but its just not cutting it and I drink a shit ton of water but need some ideas! TIA

It depends on whether or not you want soluble or insoluble fiber. Things like pasta, bread, potato, etc are soluble and easier to digest. Fruits and veggies are insoluble and therefore harder to digest. Start with some oatmeal for breakfast and go from there, even the microwave easy kind is good. If you start each meal by eating some soluble fiber, you should see a difference. It basically forms a gel in your system that pushes through so the rest of your food can digest the way it's supposed to. Soluble fiber is also what supplements are made out of.
I applaud sahms. This week proved to me that I can never do it. I had a week off if work and no babysitter, so it's been me and my son all week. I loved spending time with him but in that week he managed to fall on his head and get sick. I feel super guilty because it is all my fault. I let too many people come over to see him. He just threw up all over me and his room, and my pregnancy brain blanked out on what to do. I had to call dh for help and he just looked at me like wtf is wrong with you. I swear it was like I had never seen vomit before. Not only am I a mom but I'm a nurse- on a post-op unit so I deal with lots of vomit.
I was being selfish and going stir crazy being home, so I brought him out or had people over almost every day. I really just needed a day to myself on my vacation and I didn't get it. I feel more drained than if I worked. My whole time was spent taking care of things for dh, taking care of my son, or just in general doing things for other people.

I see lots of oatmeal recs, which are great, but I encourage steel cut oats over the instant kind. Much better nutrition and filling way longer.
Fruits: pears and grapes! And even decaf coffee helps me.
I also add the fiber stuff you stir into drinks to things.
Oh, and smoothies! Berries and spinach with whatever else; add fiber powder if you want.
I wanted to be a SAHM forever, and then during maternity leave with C went stir-fucking-crazy and couldn't wait to go back to work. Now that she's older, I can't wait to SAHM with her and Charlie. Mind you, I am still terrified, but way more looking forward to it than when all I had at home was a sweet little 10 week old blob of a baby. Now that she's interactive and all over the place, she's fun .
Re: Fri 4/04 AW/SS/Random Thread
Today I'm finishing up my thank you cards, prepping the nursery for paint and then organizing our baby gifts. This strangely is so exciting to me haha
And I just found out another friend is having a little girl too! Now Scarlett and Violet will have baby Madison and baby Hayden to play with!
