Starting the thread this morning because I miss you all!

I'm at a Flyball tournament and ended up having to have a friend run my dogs because I'm too uncomfortable. These babies are sitting LOW and my hips are spreading....
My whole team had a surprise baby shower for me last night!!!!! My little sister even drive three hours one way to come. It was amazing. Dinner, cakes, games, and TONS of presents. A few teams went in and bought our car seats!! And there is so much other stuff that my whole van is full! My mom said "you are well loved by those people" and it sunk in that I really must be. I won't see them again until November, so they wanted to be sure they went ahead with the shower now. How amazing. What good friends.

I hope you all have a fabulous day!!!

modernfairytale8709 · September 2014

Awe...sounds like you have an awesome team @kefttsc I found that my hips are spreading already, too. When I sit for long periods of time in the car, or my desk at work, I get serious pain. I thought this wasn't supposed to happen yet. Leh sigh.

I'm dealing with a grumpy DH this morning, because my dad called last night and wanted us to go to church with him this morning. I don't mind going to church, and want our children to grow up with the same structure and sense of community we did. I feel that going to church/Sunday School every Sunday gave me a good moral compass, and taught me patience. Not to mention, I remember loving going to church when I was little. My grandparents went to the same church with us, and we'd take turns sitting with them during the service.

DH has no such fond memories of church. While we both went to a similar, extremely conservative church, all he remembers is the hell fire and brimstone messages and lots of snobby hypocritical people who talked about every one else behind their back. It's tough when we both have such different viewpoints on the subject.

My dad's church is much more laid back than the one we went to when I was a child. We've been there a few times now, and I genuinely like the people. DH can't get over his misgivings, and drags his feet every time I bring up going. I can absolutely go myself, but then he gets mad at me because Sunday is "our day" to spend together. I feel like I'm in a no-win situation.

This was long and rambly, but it's been on my mind lately. What do you do when you and DH have conflicting opinions on raising your children?

erobbins09 · September 2014

Woke up at the nieces house and came up stairs to a cuddle feast on the couch

it's moments like this that make me extra excited for our little blueberry to get here!

Paleomama · September 2014

Eating a slow roasted ham and Swiss sandwich again and a pumpkins spice latte. Baby started kicking again as soon as I started eating. I think this kid is going to like food

lizzybean · September 2014

@kefttsc that is the sweetest thing ever!!! Nothing like feeling overwhelmed by love to make your weekend great.

DH and Ella and I are heading to Magic Kingdom this morning. One of the many perks to living in Orlando

I may harass you all with a couple pics later on!

Have a good Sunday everyone!!!

WanderingA · September 2014

It's finally feeling like fall here and I love it!! Although DH left our windows open last night and I nearly froze to death. I went into DD's room twice to make sure she was covered up but she never leaves a blanket on her and she doesn't fit in sleep sacks anymore.

BeckyP005 · September 2014

@kefttsc‌ aww how sweet!!

lizjennings81 · September 2014

Got up because I could hear my cereal calling to me. Oh, and some pumpkin spice coffee from Green Mountain was, too.

It's lovely today! Once laundry is out of the way, I plan to spend most of my time outside.

mandamoochie · September 2014

Lol @WanderingA‌ im keeping henry in sleepsacks till junior high. That kid moves way too much in his sleep for a blanket. I'm thinking I'll give him a pillow and blanket when he moves to a toddler bed. They make toddler versions with the ability to walk in them lol

WanderingA · September 2014

I need those @mandamoochie‌ she walks around her crib when she wakes up and would scream and cry if she couldn't stand up! She never leaves a blanket on but she also runs hot, she's always sweating!

mommadozer · September 2014

Sorry might be a little graphic for some...Hubby partied a little too hard last night, he is in the bathroom yaking right now.

I really don't miss being hungover and man, my abs would be killing me if I had to do that right now. Yuck!

AshleySparkle720 · September 2014

My husband just replaced me with the Xbox one he bought for me....I haven't even touched the controller. I can hear his game loud and clear while I'm laying in bed. Yay.

jmcgra06 · September 2014

Does anyone have a good toddler bed toy to recommend? DD is doing pretty great in her bed after night two of the Sleep Lady Shuffle, but she still wakes up a few times and we are working on the self-soothing

I read great things about the Baby Einstein Sea Dreams Soother toy so we picked it up yesterday and made a big fuss about how big she was to get to use it and how great she was doing in her bed.

She is terrified of it. As soon as it goes on, I just hear "Off!!! OOOOOFFFF!!!"

So, keeping the receipt handy just in case my special snowflake can't get it together... might need to try something new! Any suggestions?

Cohensmommy16 · September 2014

Ugh, how is it already Sunday?? On a good note, my little guy just got up. It feels nice to sleep in. Hope everyone has a great day!

Mrs.EvilQueen · September 2014

Im waiting at the airport to go on my last work trip. Its to Beaches and Turks and Caicos so I think I picked a good one for my last hurrah!

Mrs. Zee · September 2014

@kefttsc‌ that is so awesome! ;;) what a wonderful surprise!!

@chickenhawke‌ lol me too, before this I was like "I am going to kick pregnancy's a$$", work out, eat right....until I really WAS pregnant and it was more of a matter of what I could keep down and how little I could do bc of the tiredness! It took everything I had to not have cake for breakfast!!

dacora · September 2014

Husband and I are going to Wisconsin for ten days, leaving this Wednesday! Can't wait! We're visiting friends, and going fishing (weather permitting) at Eagle River, and going to see the House on the Rock. It's still in the 90's here in NE FL, so the high 60's/low 70's of Wisconsin will be a welcome break until it finally starts to cool down over here.

dreemkin84 · September 2014

@dacora‌ I love Wisconsin! We are going to Door County soon and I can't wait. Used to go every summer with my mom's side as kids. So we're going to try to take DD there once a year.

Paleomama · September 2014

Already eating my lunch. Smoked Gouda Mac and cheese. Also salsa and chips. Yum!!!

ckimberley14 · September 2014

Happy Sunday! @kefttsc That made my day reading about your surprise shower!

What awesome friends you have!

The girls slept in until 8:15, but one kept me awake for at least 45 minutes at 4 a.m. I had to pee really bad, but she would fuss every time I moved to leave the bed...so I don't feel very rested. Hopefully they nap really long today. It's cloudy and chilly. Really want mulled apple cider. And Oreos.

SaraMGood · September 2014

Half way through my 4 day weekend of work and my back is killing me! Usually bed resets it and I wake up feeling decent. We'll have to see how tonight goes. I work in a nursing home, btw.... So lots of bending and lifting. But I try to protect my back.

pitdigger · September 2014

Yesterday was the season kick off for the rugby league, so I went down to watch. I've already been asked to help coach this year. There's a fair amount of work to do and I think we're going to be missing a fair number of veterans this year.

This afternoon we're headed down to the beaxh for my gym's beach party! The weather is beautiful and I made a couscous salad to take with.

And my mom gets here tomorrow!

lilybug319 · September 2014

I bought the sims 4 this weekend. It's taking up too much of my time. But now DH knows what it's like when he plays video games all weekend. DD's got him worn out by noon. Ha!

starbeth51 · September 2014

Starting work tomorrow, three 12 hour shifts in a row- will be interesting until I adjust.

Now to go grocery shopping, going to Wegmans for the first time to see what all the hype is about! Definitely buying some cotton candy grapes everyone was raving about a few weeks ago!

Hope everyone has a great Sunday!

jennjilljo · September 2014

I'm so glad that everyone is full of good news. @modernfairytale8709‌, growing up DH went to church every Sunday but I didn't. The way we handle religion is that we teach it. DH doesn't like going to church because he has the same memories of church that YH does which has caused him to have more agnostic beliefs. He also refuses to go to a church that wouldn't accept his brother (his brother's gay) and his brother's fiancé. We live in GA so finding gay friendly churches can be difficult. I love the idea of community it and positivity it encourages so we're working on it.

Maple403 · September 2014

Hallelujah! Boob problems solved, ladies! I knew this bra was the one: https://www.motherhood.com/Product.asp?Product_Id=984220515&MasterCategory_Id=MC13

I put it on and immediately felt so much better. It's less supportive than some of my other bras, but it gets the job done. My boobs have been aching so much again lately and they are growing, and this bra is both really gentle AND gives me more room to grow. I got a large in both blush and black, and they fit my 36DD+ very nicely. I am somewhere between DD and DDD now. Soon to be DDD, for sure.

Now to clean the kitchen. I can't tell you how excited I am to actually be COMFORTABLE again.

Maple403 · September 2014

@lilybug319 - I love the Sims! I've been waiting to buy #4 until my new laptop arrives

angelg3134 · September 2014

Just wanted to say that I hope everyone has a great Sunday! :] I don't post A LOT but I'm always reading and love titting. You guys are so interesting!

krispy83 · September 2014

I am so jealous of all of you who are getting cool fall temperatures! It is supposed to be 110 here today. We don't tend to get drastically cooler temperatures until November. Boo! I want to make soup or chili but the idea of actually eating that right now.. ugh!

Get on it!

jmcgra06 · September 2014

I've made it. It's terribly, terribly good...

I made bacon in the oven for the first time. Life changing! Whoever brought that up on a thread a few weeks ago, thank you thank you thank you!

Now I'm making brownies from scratch. I've baked lots of things but never brownies. I'll report back once I've baked and tasted them.

I own Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking, but I've never read it. I think I'll start. Is this my "nesting?"

DH wants me to learn how to make oven bacon like his grandmother's. No pressure! I'd love to be a guinea pig and try your from-scratch brownies. I'll PM you my address!

I'm waiting for the slowest delivery of cheese stuffed crust pizza in the entire world....commee onnnn guys baby is hunngggrryyy

Why did you put this idea in my head.

Wimcgrath · September 2014

I think I may have started nesting. For some reason, I got a surge of energy this morning. I went grocery shopping, cleaned out my closet, reorganized it, cleaned the bathroom, and did 2 loads of laundry! This is very unlike lazy me.

I'm sure this will subside tomorrow morning when I groan at the alarm to go to work!

jennjilljo · September 2014

Grocery shopping is done. DH even agreed to icee pops so that he won't have to go spend 3 bucks every time I get a craving and stopped at steak'n'shake to get me a milkshake even though I ordered pizza for dinner last night. Yay!

My fast food urges have been breaking the ridiculous, useless plan I had for pregnancy weight gain. I told myself I would not go over a certain weight until after 20 weeks (like I can really control what my body holds into) and I went over at 19 weeks and 4 days. Close enough.

@foxslaw if it makes you feel better they forgot half of my toppings.

Izzy0927 · September 2014

Genius: I was craving hash browns for breakfast (thanks guys) but had none, and I wasn't about to go out. But I DID have a giant bag of tater tots in the freezer. Turns out tots are perfect for dipping in eggs.

Not so genius: I signed up for (and paid for) a drop in prenatal yoga class at 4pm today. But now I just want to lay on the couch, watch football, and eat chili. I'm just trying to decide if that's worth $16.

I never get irate over anything customer service wise UNLESS SOMEONE SCREWS UP MY PIZZA

I love making bacon in the oven. So easy and no mess
