I caved and bought a pair of BeMaternity leggings at Target over the weekend. Why didn't I find these sooner? Best. Thing. Ever.
Oh yeah.
Omg I've seriously been living in those for weeks. I'm either ridiculously smart.... Or just really lazy lol. I'm guessing the latter of the two but man do I love them!
So my awesome random of the week is that five months ago my SIL, BIL, their 6 year old and 2 1/2 year old and their dog all moved in with us while they have been "looking for a house" after moving here from Tennessee. In two weeks they move outtttttt!!!!!! I get to finally start working on the baby room and I get the other half of my home back!!!!!! Yessssss
@RNMegan0711 YAY!!! I admire you and your H for not cracking up having to share your home for that long. My sister stayed with us for 8 weeks recently and it caused a lot of tension between H and I and we were SO glad to get our space back. We didn't know what to do with ourselves.... so we made a baby! You already have that covered though. lol
So, somehow I missed my #1 most favoritest thread. So here's mine: the twins turn 2 tomorrow! My babies are big boys. And, we found out this one is another boy. Four boys in 4.5 years. The grocery bills in 13 years frighten me. I'm buying stock in Costco.
BFP 5/2/11 DS born 1/19/12.
BFP #2 12/29/12, EDD 9/6/13, MC 1/2/13.
BFP #3 5/4/13, EDD 1/9/14 Twin Boys! L&L born 12/18/13
I'm like a ravaging animal who hasn't eaten in months. This appetite is throwing me for a loop. I woke up this morning, had a green smoothie. Got to work, ate some crackers, sausage and bacon. Then just stopped at Potbelly's for a grilled chicken and cheddar sandwich. And ya know what? I could probably eat more right now. I'm out of snacks at my desk though because I ate them all yesterday. DH and I are going out for pizza tonight before the movie, and there's no way in hell I'll be able to wait that long to eat again.
I just ate chocolate covered nuts. They were amazing. Shipped in from Nifty Nuts in Wichita. Holy smokes. Now I want to order them for everyone on my Christmas list.
So working from home. Two facilities guys walked by my cubicle with a tub of glue and carpet tiles and started setting up 5' away in an adjacent space. I was like, 'um hi. Whatchya doin? Ripping up carpet and gluing it down?' They quickly said don't worry you won't even be able to smell it in this windowless space and we have a blower to dry it. I said ok well I'm pregnant is it safe? And they just reiterated tha I wouldn't be able to smell it. A ) I'm a freaking bloodhound right now, of course I could smell it and B ) smell or not, if you can't tell me it's safe gtfo of my work space! I left and am working for. Home but was really aggravated that there's been no notice from our director of facilities (he is universally disliked, this didn't help).
So maybe I overreacted or was being overly cautious? My give a damn is busted. I heard glue and felt like I was a toon in Roger Rabbit. This is what the two guys looked like:
ETA: Anyone else having issues posting photos to the bump? It's not letting me do it from phone or computer like normal. Grrr.

My aunt and uncle have 4 boys. It's awesome.
Random twin question. When they were moving during pregnancy, were they awake at different times? Like was it non-stop action?
DS 9/2/13 was a BFP from an IUI! Triplets due 6/29/16 also from an IUI!

Omgoodness has it been rough, I won't lie. My relationship with my SIL is going to be a little less great than it was when they initially moved in lol. Not to mention that her best friend in Tennessee's 6 year old kid has the same name as what we chose to be our babies name....and my SIL is not happy about it. She says that that's too confusing for her daughter (my niece) to have a cousin and a friend with the same name. We all went to Busch Gardens this weekend as a family to see the Christmas lights and her and I and my husband had a huge blow out over this. Thankfully my husband is 100% on my side. Lol, I'm just rambling at this point but omg am I ready for them to get the heck OUTTTTTT

They definitely were on different schedules. My Baby A was on the left and B was on my right, so I always knew who was moving. It seemed like as soon as one would fall asleep, they other would wake up and start partying. Lol. But they were both very courteous at night.

GUYS. Bought maternity jeans and a belly band tonight at Target. Got me like
WHY has it taken you so long @crdo?! Don't worry, it took me longer than it should have to figure it out too They are one of life's greatest pregnancy gifts.

I guess it took a while because I work from home, so the clothes I wear 90% of the time are soft yoga pants and sweats (DH is a lucky duck), haha. Also, after the bloat left a while ago, I didn't really have a perma-pooch until now!

Eye roll at your SIL. Not really giving her daughter much credit, is she? Does she think her daughter will never have two friends with the same name? Or that she really has any say in what you name your own kid?! The fact that she's self absorbed enough to cause an actual blow out fight over something so trivial amazes me....
FWIW, my DD has our neighbors, Eric & Erin, and DH's co-worker and wife, Eric & Erin,(who have each had babies in the past 6 months) as well as has two friends named Heidi. She's never found it confusing... I will say, that's not an argument I've heard before!
June 2016 April Siggy Challenge: Reasons my kid is crying
My DS is asleep and my DH and I are enjoying a pot of cheese fondue with all sorts of crazy dipping fixin's. Also, it seems like food comments are all I ever add to these rando threads; and for that I apologize for being a food obsessed pregnant stereotype :-/

That sounds so yummy. Jealous.
I'm starving and waiting for DH to finish work. So sick of his overtime. Can't wait for Christmas to come and him to have some time off.
@hockeyfan42 and @HighFive16 I couldn't agree more. I literally had to state it like this to her this weekend; "You realize that you're telling me that my sister in laws best friends six year old kid in Tennessee is dictating the name of my future baby?" She still didn't get it. My husband blew up at her (her brother) and was like, you either drop this sh*t right now or you won't be calling her anything because you won't be around her. This is ridiculous. Her mom (my MIL) even thinks it's ridiculous and rude. I mean seriously, how many Brittany's, Amanda's, Katie's, etc. etc. are there in the world and because my baby has the same name as some random friend of your kids....that's why. Ok I'm off my soap box. I'm just happy that others see the craziness of it too!!!
I'm officially on Christmas break until January 4th (woo)...& how am I starting my vacay off tonight?! By going to bed at 8:30, lol. I am so ready for this exhaustion to leave, & for my energy to return. I have things I want to do, damnit!
@NicknShan this is a ridiculous question but did he order the chalk board with the info already on it or do you guys have to write your details on it? Writing on the chalk board would cause me the stress!

@nickshan I'm jealous. When we were waiting the two minutes to check after I POAS- my husband actually forgot what we were doing and started ordering take out. I had to wait till he was done to show him that it said pregnant. And he said "oh yah. I forgot we were doing that". Seriously.

The way men can compartmentalize makes me simultaneously jealous and mad!

Yes! I hate *shudders* the thought of even touching a chalk board. Ugh.
I did it guys. This is what is going public sometime today... I am anti announcement. But my husband let me get out of cleaning the kitchen after our big breakfast if I were to do the chalkboard.
Well I'm having an O'Doul's for the first time. It's actually pretty good. And it's nice to feel "normal" again at a bar. I feel lame always getting water haha.
