DH and I are driving to a wedding 4.5 hours away...without the kids!!! We left them with MIL. I've never been away from them even close to this long, especially not with my H.
My random: Home renovations begin today! Due to baby #3 being on the way, we will make Quentin a cool big boy room in the finished basement area (move Lydia in his old room and new baby in her old room), so the drywall guy comes today to create Quentin a wall. Tons of work ahead over the next 4 months!
I'm going to church for the first time in a while today. I used to never miss a service but now DH works on Sundays it makes it hard for me to want to go. But my dad is becoming the Pastor of this church soon and I love to hear my dad preach, so I'm excited!
I'm at work...boo!! However, I get to leave early today and have tomorrow off!! Yay!!! I only work Sundays and Mondays so I have a short work week and get to hang out with my son and husband more!! Also my son turned 2 on 12.30.14 and we had his birthday party yesterday and it was a sucess!!!
I just got the Baby Bargains book and am freaking out and thinking I have to redo my entire registry and every single thing I've been planning because it came in mere days after registering (kind of forgot I ordered it).
@kendra1992 - I feel like the holidays opened the floodgates for a bunch of new people.
Either that or I was off the boards longer than I thought...
Agreed. They came out of the woodwork or something. I can't handle the gazillion new threads that have already been answered if they would just search/lurk.
My random: had an almost melt down last night. Couldn't get comfortable and was SOOO tired. My hips hurt. My back hurts. My mouth is so dry and the heartburn is out of control at night. I just wish I could figure out a way to crack my mid-lower back without going to a chiropractor.
My almost 3 year old is obsessed with YouTube PlayDoh videos. She is either watching videos or asking to play with PlayDoh. Which I am mostly okay with, but she asks me to make things like a lunch bag with broccoli or a pool with an umbrella. And she narrates like she's making her own video.
I blame YouTube for today's youth behavior )
OMG I was watching my friends 2yo and he pulled up YouTube on the ipad. He started watching one of those playdoh videos and I was amazed. I could never get my playdoh to look like she did. Then he changed it to watch baby einstein ..... I wasn't done watching it.
I guess my confession is once he went down for a nap I may have watched a lot of the videos. It's addicting!!!
I have a baby shower to go to that I'm dreading. One, the girl is originally from here but lives out of town so requested all gifts be sent to a store in her home town to pick up. Isn't part of the point of a baby shower to open all the gifts and go "awwww" at them? Two, this girl is always asking me to send her belly pics, so I do, then she says "wow we are the same size." She is almost 2 months further along than me and it annoys me that she is bragging she is smaller than me. I hope there is at least good food.
& I'm sorry did someone say high schoolers trolling the board? Don't they have anything better to do? Like get pregnant themselves?
I just overheard FIL ask DH if DS really needs to go to daycare after the baby comes since "Mama will be home." DH handled it but I am a bit annoyed.
I'm a firm believer that men are truly not wired like women are. Absolute morons when it comes to this kind of stuff. Stay at home dads are the true exception to the rule and that makes them so hot! ha. I wouldn't sweat it.. FIL doesn't have a clue like most of them.
DS1 & DS2 anxiously await Baby Ava Victoria May 18th!
& I'm sorry did someone say high schoolers trolling the board? Don't they have anything better to do? Like get pregnant themselves?
NO TO THIS! If I had to choose between my 14-year-old niece trolling a pregnancy board or getting pregnant, I'd be sending her a link to this very board and telling you all to brace yourselves. I know you were totally joking, but since my niece entered high school this year that's been a huge fear of mine.
@samiamagirl oh I was totally joking. My DH nephew is 15 now, great kid, and has a gf that's a total bitch. I feel a little bad saying that about a kid but it's true. We jokingly say all the time they could be having a kid at the same time as us. But we both know it's not funny at all. I just feel like 16 and pregnant made it popular and that's sad.
Regarding the randoms that show up over the holidays:
This is really sad, but a lot of the time the randoms are bored high schoolers who are on break and decide to troll pregnancy boards. And I can't give specifics, but if y'all thought the past few days have bee bad on May15 you should see some of the other crazy that has been happening on other boards. Whoa.
WTF? I did some dumb shit in high school but how would this even cross someone's mind? That's crazy and stupid
Hahaha right? I thought I had time to kill in high school but these kids must be wayyyyy bored
My aunts sil came to visit. She was so sad I'm having my second teen pregnancy.... I had my first son at 20, and I'm 28.... Like she's recently as in this week seen my son, I'm really disturbed to think young she thought I was with him, if 8 years later I'm still a teen?
@lakingsfan2015 that is amazing! I love hearing the crazy things that are going on with the babies of friends who are having twins. What a special thing
I finally finished organizing our photo albums from the past 2 years--I've had pictures just everywhere, waiting for organization... and I finally did it! Yay! This gives me hope that I'll be able to make some kind of pregnancy picture album in a (moderately) timely manner lol... Also, my anatomy scan is tomorrow; I'm all excited and on edge...
I have failed as a parent. My 16 year old kinda knows who Paul McCartney is but has no idea what band he was a part of or any songs that made them famous. I am hanging my head in shame.
** he does at least know Kanye West isn't making him famous and that KW is a douche.**
@lakingsfan2015 my sons dad made sure my 8 year knows all the greats as far as music, and he loves the Beatles ... On the flip side I listen to a lot more dances music (better to run too)... So he also loves Iyaz, Katy Perry, other bad music I like. I think my ex dies a little on the inside when he sings " shorty is a melody in my head...."
Supposed to go start my registry with my BFF. She texted me this morning and said lets do it early, and now it's almost 11am and I am still waiting on her! What a lagger!
Yesterday I found out my cat probably has cancer. He is one of the rare cats who got vaccine-induced sarcoma. So I basically feel like I paid for him to get cancer. And that it's all my fault that he is going to die. He has been super attached to me the last couple of weeks, always wanting to sit next to me or in my lap. Breaks my heart.

@FreddyisReady - My cat of 12 years died of cancer a few years ago. I still miss him everyday. So very sorry to hear about his sad diagnosis.
I'm in my room pretending to put laundry away. I'm just laying on my bed bumping and facebooking lol and every time I hear footsteps near my door I jump up and grab a piece of laundry. I need someone to come put this laundry away pronto...the struggle is real today.

Oh man seriously. That show is awful. Whenever I talk to my niece I try not to glamourize my pregnancy at all (I'm closer in age to her than I am to her father, so I'm the cool, relatable family member) as to not make it seem like something she wants anytime soon. I do say how great it is, but emphasize the rough parts and that, even though I'm married and stable, I'm still scared about how life changing this is.
@FreddyisReady - I'm so sorry about your cat. Is there anything they can do for him treatment wise?
The gahhh moment when you decide to be a lurk whore, forgetting you're on a different board. Then you look through the threads and find one you want to respond to and start posting. But you're lucky that your response didn't post, so you were able to delete it without anyone noticing. Not that I'm speaking from experience... X_X
@FreddyisReady- I'm sorry to hear about your cat. You were doing what you felt was right to protect him. I have a cat that has been with me for 15 years of my life.
I thought I would get out and do a little gardening while DD played in her pool. The first batch of weeds I went to pull were, in fact, stinging nettles. My foot and hand are on fire. Awesome.
Jealous at the fact you said "pool" while I'm sitting here staring at snow and dreading the -20 degree wind outside.
@freddyisready I so sorry to hear about your cat. Losing a pet is heart breaking.
I dont want to go to church today, just feeling BLAH and lazy. I am a regular church goer. But my anatomy scan is on Tuesday and I need to be sure God hears my prayers. In my heart I know God listens to all prayers, in church or elswhere.....but it's my damn Mexican Catholic upbringing that keeps creeping into my head. I can hear my mom lecturing me in Spanish about how important it is to go to church. So off I go...
It's almost 1pm and I haven't done anything. Time to force myself to some laundry and make lunch. Waking up to pee 5 times every night is really messing up my energy since I don't get good continous sleep. I guess I better just get used to sleepless nights!

ETA: to say I'm sorry about your foot and hand!
I am jealous of your cold weather! Although...that seems a bit extreme for my taste in cold!
I live in Nebraska, so it'll most likely hit the 30s or 40s in the next couple weeks. I'm not sure who else has this, but I'm in the land of bipolar weather.
I went grocery shopping with SO today and stared at this like it was a mythical creature, so close, yet so far away. I miss you so much.... Only 4 more months I promise
Sigh, right there with you. Last night I was shopping with DH and we walked past a table of sushi samples, he said "I'm surprised you don't want one" and I just stared at him and said "um... that's sushi". Turns out he didn't look very closely and thought it was some sort of baked good, ahahaha!
@irishtheatrechic Are twins a kick starter for binge cleaning/organizing? Every time DH is free or home early I have been doing all sorts of cleaning. But I also live in fear that if I don't get ahead on some cleaning projects that I won't get them done due to fatigue or the inability to turn or bend over.
@lakingsfan2015 I have AP with baby B too. I have barely felt him and yesterday he gave a few huge kicks that I could even see on the outside! It was awesome! Shocked me too since I'm only used to feeling baby A.
@maggiet19 and @rivers714 Support band was a HUGE success! The discomfort didn't start until I started stretching at the end. Some moves were definitely a challenge. Squats and lunges were pretty hard to do with it on. Same for a lot of stretches so I took it off to stretch too.

This sounds like my FIL. I can't imagine what he was like as a parent. No wonder MIL loves her wine so much.
