@smushi I wouldn't be able to foster dogs just for that reason. Hugs to you for giving them warm, safe places to live until they find their forever homes. Makes me very happy to know that someone adopted an older dog. I hope they give her lots of love.
So I've done nothing all day- until I picked up my crocheting at 3, and just finished my blanket at 8. I went for so long my right hand fingers are tingly, like they fell asleep... they feel better now. I just wanted to finish it tonight! Now I need to get more yarn and make things for my coworkers who are due before me (one is January 10th, the next is February 5th, then me on March 3rd).
February Siggy Challenge- Post pregnancy indulgences
I feel better today. I've been running on so little sleep for the last couple weeks since I've been told I shouldn't take any sort of sleep aid. Finally though, last night, I made it through only waking up 2 or 3 times and slept almost 10 hours. I got a call from my grandma today telling me that she had to take my Grampa who has lung cancer to the hospital. He has pneumonia, and will need antibiotics, but also has now been diagnosed with congestive heart failure. They're stopping his chemo, so he feels much better than usual, and I'm grateful that we got to spend some time with them on our way to Nevada. It's just hard knowing that he may not meet his first great grandchild.
It's been a rough couple weeks, ladies, but I'm just 2 weeks away from my third trimester and couldn't be more excited to meet this little guy! He spends more time kicking than he used to, and even though it hurts sometimes it's just the best feeling. I am so excited to be a mom. Hope everyone is doing well (: thanks for all the creepy internet hugs. You guys are great.
@2goofykids I am glad you're feeling better! I feel the same way about my LO. I seriously can't wait to hold her in my arms and love her to pieces.
Do y'all ever just have this moment where you're like holy shit I'm going to have a baby? I've been having them a lot recently and I still can't believe it sometimes. It seems so wild that I'm growing this little thing and I'll get to keep her forever. She's mine and I get to be her mom and that's freaking cool.
@charley15 I'm so jealous. I haven't made a single thing for this little guy and I have a pair of socks for my eldest on the needles now. Maybe I'll work on those today at third thanksgiving (I'm not cooking).
Anyone else "nesting" already??? 23 weeks and if something doesn't smell like vinegar then it must not be clean and I gotta clean it. Literally wiping down walls and deep cleaning like crazy!
We are driving back home from our 3 week vacation today and I'm having all the feels. We were back in our home town and all out families just love DD and miss her so much. Military life sucks sometimes.
@2goofykids I understand how you feel. My grandma was in a nursing home for I think 2.5 years when she had a second stroke this past September. I had just told her maybe 2 or 3 weeks prior that I'm pregnant and she was going to be a great grandma. Honestly I was shocked that she lived as long as she did, but I was getting hopeful that she'd get to meet her first grandchild. She was my best friend through my whole life and it hurt in general losing her, but then I'd think about how my son will never get to know her and it hurt even more. And she was my last living grandparent, so that was even harder. Sorry this probably doesn't help, but just saying you're not alone in how you feel!! I'm here if you need to chat, it's been a couple months since her passing now and it still hurts, but it gets more manageable each day. Hugs!!!
My old partner on the ambulance had his first child today (well his wife did lol). I was so happy for him I started to cry. He's going to be such a great dad! Ohhhh pregnancy hormones haha.
Wahoooooooo the people whom we gave our 0-6 month boy clothes to still have them all. So not too much to stock up on!
YAY!!
My SIL just had a boy 4 months ago and has been packing up his outgrown clothes for me ever since we found out we are also having a boy!! GOD BLESS HER!!!

My coworker has two girls under 2 and has told me she will be sending all their clothes my way! Hopefully someone we know will have a little girl after us so we can pay it forward.
Italian Job is one of those movies you can watch over and over again and never get tired of. For us, it's our sound system tester. Just got a new receiver so of course we had to try it out. Amazing!

C O F F E E E E E … I didn't want to get up today. Nor did my kindergartener. And of course he woke the other two littles, who were displeased about being woken. After no school on the 20th and then all last week due to strep and thanksgiving, this morn was extra hard! And I've had this cough for the past 4 days. Omg I swear I have to change undies from peeing when I cough a couple times an hour. I need some Depends. Over it. Hope everybody else is sliding back into the groove of the week easily.

Morning all! Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I ate my weight in potatoes. Mmmm.
We've also been blessed with tons of hand me downs. I can't wait to return the favor to someone someday, but I just can't decide if I'm done having babies yet, so I can't bring myself to part with the bins and bins of clothes stashed in my basement. #hoarder
Did y'all see the "anyone else not showing yet?" thread? Oy. I can't imagine. My full-belly panel is already too small to fit over my belly. Cue the hiking up of the jeans for the next 15 weeks!

@charley15, what do you do? How is it that you have time to make such beautiful blankets AND also be at work?
I think I'm jealous of that kind of job.
Seriously- Wednesday when I went to work (I'm a secretary for a small alternative ed. school), everyone else (staff and students) were already on vacation. I had to come in to answer that ONE phone call, and get some stuff caught up. But since I was stuck at work until 3, I had all afternoon with nothing to do! Lol I don't usually bring stuff like that in because I am the front desk, but with no one here and all other schools/staff on vacation, I was going to be pretty bored if I didn't!
I've already finished that blanket and started another one lol. I have two coworkers due before me so I started one for the first one (due Jan. 10th). Its about half-way done- not bad for buying the yarn and starting it yesterday lol.

Hope everybody had a wonderful Thanksgiving and is still pleasantly stuffed!
I am finally an aunt! DH's sister had a baby boy Friday morning after being induced at 37 weeks for some frighteningly high preeclampsia. Ugh, after her experience-magnesium sulfate and pitocin can stay far, far away from me! This is our first nephew (or niece) on either side, so DH and I are very excited. I'm most excited for my baby to have a cousin close in age. I was the oldest grandchild on both sides of my family, my oldest cousin is 15 and I'm 26 so that's quite an age gap. So I hope my baby and cousin Edison will be great friends.
Also, if you're in the southern half of Minnesota or northernmost part of Iowa stay safe in this snowstorm they are predicting. It's my brother's 18th birthday today and all he wants for his birthday is snow so he can snowmobile, and it looks like he'll get his wish.

@smushi big respect to you, foster mama! My pup is a rescue, sweetest thing ever
Luckily got my old navy coat today and it was perfect timing. Kept me warm and cozy.
@smushi I've been there. It's tough.
Glad you're feeling better @2goofykids!
