How are you guys doing? Share funny stories of your LO(s) here or anything pregnancy-related.
Here are a few from my kiddos:
1) This weekend we went to a wedding and DS (5) was obsessed with the bride (but shy about meeting her). He loves the fancy dresses, etc, and has done this before at a wedding. Anyway, yesterday he told me, after MUCH hesitation, "I am in love with someone." He said it's not his best friend (a boy), but a girl whose name he doesn't even know, but who is in a different kindergarten class. He thinks she looks like the bride from the wedding. He said he's too nervous to ask her her name, but will ask her friend (I expect he's too nervous to ask her friend, too.) He wants to make her a card of some kind. It is completely adorable.
2) I noticed recently that DD (3) answers all of her yes/no questions with full sentences. She sounds so formal and I have no idea of where she got it from, though I noticed myself doing it after I noticed her doing it. That made me wonder if she got it from me, but I think I only just started doing it, and I got it from her.
Me/DH: "Do you want to go to the bus stop with your brother?" DD: "Yes, I do."
Me/DH: "Do you want dinner? Are you hungry?" DD: "No, I am not."
Me/DH: "Is your baby doll tired?" DD: "Yes she is."
Me/DH: "Is it time for bed?" DD: "No, it's not." <-- This might be phrased as a statement ("It's time for bed, DD!"), but she'll still answer with, "no, it's not," more often than "no."
It's almost never "no" or "yes." Though when she does say no, I think she says, "nope."

"Do you want to watch Thomas? I think it might be on soon."
"Yes, Thomas and Friends is a good show."
"What about Blaze?"
"It's called Blaze and the Monster Machines, Mama."
Funny that he corrects me, like all the time... but still cute.
A few weeks ago I asked my son if he would rather take a granola bar than grapes, for his afternoon snack. He response was "No, mom...grapes are life...YOLO let's eat all the grapes"
We've been to the doctor several times over the last month because his asthma is flaring a lot lately. Everytime we go to the doctor he say "Dr. *****, this time its Ebola. I know it is, how long do I have?"
He is a total mess and I love it!!

She did get student of the week this week though, so at least the boys aren't interfering with her school work yet, lol!
@JonesBaby0624 OMG your son sounds like a riot!!!
All else is well here. My DS is being pretty clingy lately with me, he is 3. We will be working on getting him adjusted prior to the baby coming, I think he will be the one that has the hardest time coping with everything.He is such a momma's boy right now.

"I don't have pants on." (She was wearing a dress.)
"[sister] likes hummus. I like daddy a LOT!"
"Just kisses today."
"I had a bad day last week."
"I color [sister's] nose. And her mouth! Her mouth is clean."
Yes, her mind works in weird ways, but it amuses me!
This morning I was driving my DD (3 years old) to school when I had to pull over to throw up (morning sickness ugh). She likes to copy anything people do (coughing, sneezing, etc.) so she proceeds to mimic me throwing up!!
Toddler logic too:
Me: "It's time to take a bath."
DD: "I can't, mama"
Me: Why?
DD: "Because I want to wear my socks to bed.
I had to assure her she could put her socks on after her bath.
BFP #1 12/23/12 EDD 9/3/13 DD #1 8/26/13
BFP #2 2/25/16 EDD 11/5/16 MMC 4/15/16
BFP #3 8/31/16 EDD 5/12/17 It's a GIRL!
I'm trying to prepare DD (19 months old) for the arrival of #2 - We sing a song everyday to the baby in Mommy's belly. She will hug my belly and say 'hi" to the baby. BUT I know DD is a jealous one. She even gets mad when DH and I are cuddling on the couch. She'll come over and try to physically move DH off me so she can get on me. She says, no no, my Mama. Oh little girl, you are in for a rude awakening when #2 arrives
Not a lot going on here! My son has taken to eating with utensils in both hands, which is equal parts hilarious and messy. And he's currently obsessed with skeletons (happy ske-te-nons) and spiders. And singing the itsy bitsy spider. And rearranging the words/subbing in words that don't belong and laughing at himself.
Anxious for my appointment tomorrow! I never really stress between appointments, but when they are nearing, I start hoping that everything's progressing as it should and start worrying about what happens if they aren't. I would absolutely hate to have to live a 1st trimester pregnancy over again after what feels like the longest stretch of weeks in my life (nausea, exhaustion, etc).
Is this really a gift of second time momhood? I'm only 9 weeks, I'm not ready!
+1 to Chatty Cathy toddlers. He narrates pretty much everything and slowly but surely recounted his entire weekend I missed when I was out of town. Thank goodness I got the stories from my husband ahead of time so I could put winning phrases like "donkey grass" in context!

Nothing really my kids says if he's 16 months but he definitely has started a love for dancing and dances all the time even when he eats it's hilarious!
Born in June, three weeks early
DD (19 mo) just keeps pointing at my book when I ask her where the baby is.

I’m a modern man, a man for the millennium. Digital and smoke free. A diversified multi-cultural, post-modern deconstruction that is anatomically and ecologically incorrect. I’ve been up linked and downloaded, I’ve been inputted and outsourced, I know the upside of downsizing, I know the downside of upgrading. I’m a high-tech low-life. A cutting edge, state-of-the-art bi-coastal multi-tasker and I can give you a gigabyte in a nanosecond! I’m new wave, but I’m old school and my inner child is outward bound. I’m a hot-wired, heat seeking, warm-hearted cool customer, voice activated and bio-degradable. I interface with my database, my database is in cyberspace, so I’m interactive, I’m hyperactive and from time to time I’m radioactive.
DD1 is absolutely positive this is another baby girl which doesn't make my husband so happy!
@WombThereItIs SERIOUSLY! My jeans are not fitting either and I have been dreading the box of maternity clothes! I swore I would make it to 2nd trimester before I dragged them out but seeing as I'm only 9 weeks, I don't think I can make it.

DD(20 months) now calls farting "Pooting". It's probably her favorite thing to say right now. She just loves to tell anyone that's with in sight if she is "pooting".
Lovely. I really don't have a potty mouth, but I guess in moments of panic, that word is most likely to come out.
She is also in the "why" stage... which is awesome, but ohmygosh ask me why the sun goes down one more time...
DS (15 month) discovered he can push the chairs out in order to climb up onto the dining table. So that's wicked fun The latest time he did it (in the two min I was in the bathroom...) he was standing there saying "uh oh! Dow(n)!" So... at least he knows he shouldn't be there? Haha
