Speaking of complaining (don't worry @led, that's just what I assume the randoms are for) thank fucking god these LOs don't come out as toddlers. DS has been, I'll say, a challenge (read asshole) today. He just had the most epic meltdown because we couldn't take the playdoh in the bath. That resulted in multiple things being thrown across the bathroom and a hellish early bedtime. Bring on the child I can appease by shoving my boob in its mouth!
Actual conversation with DS today as I'm washing dishes. He has a chair pulled up to the sink beside me, right by the drying rack.
Me: Don't touch that it's a knife, you could get a boo boo. DS: I touch it. Me: No, do not touch it. DS: I touch it. Me: if you want to help me you have to listen to what I say. DS: I touch it. Me: You'll have to go in a timeout if you don't want to listen. DS: I touch it a little bit.

I think we have a potential nanny to hire. Her phone interview and references were quite good. She lives 5 hours away and is willing to relocate to be our live-in. I think we'll have a Skype interview with her and then offer her a trial weekend to come and stay with us before we hire her. I hope she turns out to be as good as we think.

Was she the one you liked but weren't sure if you needed to interview others just in case?
H decided to take a nap at 6:30. We haven't had dinner yet and he doesn't know how to take naps. He's likely out for the night. I hate trying to come up with things to eat for just me. I haven't looked yet, but I have a feeling a peanut butter sandwich is in my future.

I had part of a pasta-roni broccoli mac and cheese and a piece of garlic bread. Living the high life at the Teraiin household.
I was on my own for dinner tonight too. I had a black bean burger (costco) with a fried egg and cheddar on top. No bun. Corn on the side. easy, fast, delicious. But not as fast as PBJ!
@led DH does that shit ALL the time. I wouldnt even know how to fall asleep by 630. But i eat pb&j or grilled cheese often because baby says so lol
I walked a mile in flip flops (because my shoes dont fit) today. I'm not sure which is worse: the fact that i hurt SO BAD now, or that I didn't have a single contraction. Lame.
... And our power's out. Luckily we have a HUGE supply of candles, since our power goes out frequently in the summer. On only our side of the street. And not a common occurrence in California.
I'm not bothering with thank you cards. Faux paus like whoa, but I don't know anyone who has for a second baby, and we have an agreement with all our friends that have kids to skip the thank you letters.
Also, I recently learned that apparently, thank you cards are very much a white people thing.
I'm trying to write thank you cards and I really suck at this.
I still have some to write...
Best part about having a tiny shower, I only have 4 to fill out. Unfortunately, that's about 4 more than I'm capable of doing. lol
It's just so awkward. Like, what do I write? Thanks for the ... It's awesome. Cheers.
I just don't get thank you cards in general. I feel like I should write a paragraph about how thankful I am, and I am that thankful, but I really suck at putting anything into words. Pretty sure Rama's thank you card is just going to be the words thank you with the rest of the card covered in tears since I already ruined one that way. lol I don't know.

I'm overly sappy with mine. They're like:
Dear person, thank you so much for coming to the shower. It meant a lot to me that you took the time to help celebrate my baby. Thank you so much for the "insert item". It was really thoughtful of you and I can't wait to use it/ I'm sure it will get a lot of use (whatever fits). Thank you for thinking of MH and I. Blah blah blah.
Of course now that I wrote that it occurs to me that you might not really care how I write cards

I just read through all of these but I didn't log in first, so I didn't LT anything. Just know that I'm here and thinking of all of you! I really love all the activity around here. Daily randoms!

Crap, I just remembered MH's employees are throwing us a shower tomorrow. I might have him write those thank you notes though since I don't know them...

Do it. It's the rule in our house that if it's one of H's friends/family he has to write it and vice versa for this exact reason. We do that for all thank you notes.

westiemom sorry O had to go to the hospital for a stay.
As to hospital food the one I delivered at/work for has some really tasty items. I will get to find out how the other hospital's food is tomorrow most likely if Gwen and Damian pass their car seat checks tonight.
So we had most of our thank you cards done except addressing the day before I was rear ended. It put me so behind in my homework and we had two or three other showers after that they have never been finished. At this point we are doing a combo announcement/thank you card.
Me: 30 DH: 29; Married: September, 2010 TTC #1: April 2013 Benched: May 2013 Cancer(DH) Off the Bench: September 2014 July 2015 ER low sperm count and motility(radiation side effect). FET September 1,2015. BFP 9/9/15.- 3 on the way.
