No drinks for me, but I am going to completely AW Reese. Reese has been SO sweet in the hospital. She became friends with another 3 year old, who doesn't speak much English. (Family is Hispanic). Reese and the other girl are the best of friends. Today at art group, I walked in and they were sharing a chair. (Even though there were 10 other empty chairs) But what really melted me was they were painting dinosaurs today. And child life gave them one plate of different colored paint to use. If it was going to become an issue, should would have made them their own. Anyway, Reese who loves mixing and swirling paint colors around in the plate was not doing that at all. 20 minutes later, her friend left and then Reese asked if she could mix and swirl all the colors and then went to town on the plate. But she refused to do it while she was sharing it. So sweet.
I've pretty much been avoiding the news like the plague lately. On one hand I feel bad because I feel a little more out of touch than I used to be.... but... it just makes me feel so numb and depressed...and sometimes ragey.
FFWC, I get most of my current event updates from here nowadays.
I just weighed myself and I have no gained a single lb yet this pregnancy. I am quite certain the scale is broken because that's basically physically impossible. I have been eating like a stoned college kid that just moved in to an off campus apartment.
I actually lost 2lbs at the start of this pregnancy, despite eating like your stoned roommate, and my stomach looking bigger. At 15 weeks now, I've gained 5 and am definitely showing. Maybe all the scales are broken.
I didn't gain any weight at first this second time around, but that was because my appetite practically disappeared in the beginning and I had some nausea... my first pregnancy I was lucky not to have any of that. At least it wasnt full blown MS though, just minor nausea... I'll take that and still call myself lucky.
But yeah...I've quite made up for it since then. Almost 30 weeks along and up 28 pounds now. Woohoo. At least I'm not gaining as much as my first pregnancy but...still not great because I started out heavier this time too so. Fuck it....just give me more Ben and Jerrys.
Omg I'm dying. DD asked if we have Cinderella, then explained it to me (there's a big cat, someone broke her dress, she goes to the dancer to see her daddy, she wears a headband). I got up and got it for her and it's a VHS. She opens it, takes the tape out and then proceeds to ask me where it is, looking at the empty box, then trying to open the tape to get it out. This lasted at least ten minutes. Then she tried to fit the tape in the DVD player once I finally convinced her that IS the movie. Ded.
Just wait till you have to explain "rewinding" to her. The preschoolers looked at me like I was fucking insane.
"No miss, you just go to the menu and press play. Or scene selection."
Or being in the hospital and my daughter has to watch *gasp* live TV. And proceeds to throw a fit everytime an episode ends, because she can't watch it again. And again. And has no clue what commercials are until we are here as well.
Pregnancy weight is the LOLz. It comes off eventually. I wish I never cared. I ate like an awful person first pg, and gained 40 lbs. ate mostly like a saint the second time. Gained 40 lbs.

Wine is being had. There is a stupid Nor'Easter going on here. It is raining like a mo-fo and the wind is unfucking believable. Of course the dogs won't pee in the rain but are whining to go out. DS was a beast all night, DH is now doing bedtime. My house is a disaster and I don't think I have any clean clothes for tomorrow. /whine
Beer is being opened shortly. I'm going to test on Saturday if I can hold out until then. I have so many symptoms but can't figure out how it's even possible to be pregnant. We are talking multiple forms of contraception have failed if I'm ku'd.
You're fine. Drink.

And now foster dog is whimpering and dancing at the door. If I take this punk out in a freaking nor'easter and he doesn't do anything I am so leaving his stupid ass out there.
No, I won't leave the dog out in a storm, I am not that bad of a person.
I bought pumpkin Reese's cups for TOTers. I'm seriously considering tearing them open.
I would in a heartbeat. I have been systematically going down to the hospital gift shop and buying them before bed. Which is no wonder why I have been gaining weight in the hospital.
When my oldest was little I told her the snickers were what people gave the mommas & daddys as treats for bringing the kids TOTing. Hahahaha that worked for like 4 straight years, & then 2 more with DD2 before my oldest ratted me out.
I am really sad that Reese may miss TOT this year. I know I should be thankful that it isn't Thanksgiving or Christmas or Hanukkah--but it still makes me sad. And giving her a bag of candy saying "go to town" isn't the same at all.
