1. I bought myself a groupon for a massage a few months ago for my birthday. I went a couple days ago and it was one of the best massages I've had. She used just enough pressure and didn't talk at all during the hour. It was so relaxing. I've had massages before (years ago, it's been awhile) and they were usually too rough and I was sore afterwards. And I hate chatty massage therapists who talk the whole time.
2. After reading the nap post yesterday I realized we might be the only ones here who don't have our toddler on a real schedule. Nap time always varies, meal time varies, bed time varies. But it works for us cause our work schedules are always different too. I hope we aren't screwing Ava up. She 's pretty easy going though, lucky for us.
This happened while we were in Florida visiting my parents. I don't feel bad it happened, or that I let it happened, or that I caught on video. I still think the video is hilarious every time I watch it. H, not so much...
@zyas, we don't have Em on a schedule either, and one of my mom friends is kind of scandalized about it. But like you said, our schedules constantly change and Em seems fine with it. I had a rough night with Nicky, so it's nice that she's sleeping late today.
FC: I hate trying to play outside with the kids right now. Nicky wants to be carried but hates to be worn, so I have to chase Em around while holding him. It sucks.
I played with Barbies until I was 14. Yup right up until I started high school. And the back story I had going for my two main families...yup...was as complicated as a soap opera. I also posed them for family portraits and took real pictures of them. Even though I stopped playing I didn't stop collecting. I hope em likes Barbies!
Today is the last day to pay our condo association fees before they are
late. We are never late and usually pay them earlier, but I wanted more
spending money my husband's last paycheck, so I paid the association
fees today instead of when I could have at the beginning of the month.
I pretty much don't eat much on the days that I have a pre-natal appointment and have to get weighed. It is so dumb that I do this. For one thing, it's not like I'm 20 lbs lighter when I don't eat but secondly now I have to do this every time in order to be consistent. Hi my name is zpanjwani and my vanity outweighs any iota of intelligence that I have.
I always eat light and make sure I am wearing lightweight clothes. I am convinced it makes a difference because yesterday I ate a lot all day before my apt and the scale said I gained 7 lbs in the last two weeks. Somehow I don't think that is the case.

I also always wear leggings and a thin flowing shirt to my doctor's appointment. It's the only time I wear them out of the house, but they're so light! I also stop myself from drinking the morning of my appointment. It's sad.
@jennMM I am so sorry you dealing with this. Hope he gets help and will be better. Dealing with a troubled teenager is the worst! My son also made a threat at school to commit suicide when he was 15 and bullied... I felt so scared and helpless! The hardest thing was to get through to him. Hugs.
I have no idea how many teeth my kid has. I know there's a lot in there? And maybe he's working on one now, hence the big freakout last night? I'm sure if I asked him to say ahhhh so I could look, he'd say his favorite word: NO! NO!
I'm starting to get a little freaked out at how little I'm showing at almost 18 weeks. I keep reminding myself surely there'd be signs if I was miscarrying, and the last ultrasound looked fine. Plus I've gained about 15 lbs in each boob. Last pregnancy was a crabby pregnancy and this one is an anxious one, this is just a part of that.
Big hugs @jenmm! Ugh what an awful and stressful situation

I complained about my dad only making an effort to see me when my sister is around, because I've only seen him twice since she has been locked up. We'll she told him that and he is coming over today. I'm cursing myself because now I have to clean instead of go to the gym. Why did I open my big mouth?! And he keeps asking me dumb questions like if I haven't gone to the doctor how do I know I'm pregnant?

@thepinksuperhero good luck at the scan. Mine is the 24th. theres gonna be a boom of gender announcements here shortly lol
I think this pregnancy is a much more anxious one than my last. Im extremely pessimistic too. I have a great OB appointment, hear heart beat, see the baby. I feel good for about 3 days afterwards and then Im in the anxious period. what if something is going wrong and I go to my next appointment in 3 weeks and they say "Sorry..." Its so much worse this time. I think once I feel the baby move more consistently I'll chill a little more.
I have been so, so lonely in the last few weeks. I can't leave town because it's too uncomfortable to drive, plus I had DS early so I could go into labor pretty much any time. My whole family is out of town. My friends that are in town all either work during the day (I work from home) or are as tied to their toddlers' schedule as I am.
I've been treating my loneliness with eating junk food and shopping, mostly for toys for DS. It's depressing.

I let me kid eat in the car. The other day she found a graham cracker in there from who knows when. I let her eat it.
