Morning everyone. Saying hello from my bed with my Snoogle. H slept out on the couch again. He says he sleeps better out there and doesn't have as many panic attacks. I get sad sleeping alone every night. It's always my favorite part of the weekend waking up and wrapping myself around him. Now I just hide in the bedroom until its a bit later. We have a little house and I don't want to wake him.
flyinghorses6 - I am right there with you! I cannot take the snow anymore. We have another winter storm watch through Monday night.
bwisco123 - sorry that you're having to deal with that. I do give your man props for being up front about it. I know that would make me feel a little better but it's still tough.
Today is DH's birthday and I'm trying to make him a Boston cream cake for his party. I am legit the worst baker and am already proving that again this morning... My boxed cake mix had butter lumps in the batter and I even let it sit out for a while before mixing it!!
bwisco123 I'm sorry that woman confronted your husband like that but it sounds to me like he did the right thing by being up front with you. He sounds like a pretty good and honest man to me. I know it's tough when you aren't feeling very sexy but he loves you and it sounds like he only has eyes for you. Hang in there. Like a previous poster said, you can count me in the angry mob of pregnant women to go after that woman!
So I wasn't going to spend any more money on maternity clothes... But I out grew my shirts. So old navy here I come. I hate spending money especially knowing it's only until May. But it feels like forever away still.
You will feel so much better with clothes that fit. It will make such a difference with comfort. Have fun shopping!

I need to do this. I put on a teal maternity t-shirt I bought a few months ago and it made me look like a giant peep.
Does anyone else fail at making gravy? I made some the other night and it looked so a awesome I kept putting in flour and then when I added milk it was unsalvageable. It was the second dinner I screwed up this week.
petrichor That is the most beautiful Facebook announcement and brought tears to my eyes. I'm in awe at how strong of a woman you are! Happy third trimester day to you and your family!

Try whisking in cornstarch with the milk before adding more to the gravy. It'll take out the lumps and won't give you that raw flour taste. If you want to use flour, you really need to make a roux with it first by melting some butter in a pan and whisking in the flour for a few minutes before adding the liquid. Hope that helps!
Yeah. For a little while. Our lease is up in June at this place and he doesn't know if he wants to move or renew our lease, so he doesn't wanna do anything "drastic" to the spare bedroom.
Ah that makes sense. We don't have a bedroom for this new LO since we're also in a 2BR so baby will be in with us til we move. It's stressful not being able to plan out a nursery!
I was scrolling through Facebook and came across a picture of my aunt and I thought to myself, "I don't remember her having a mole under her eye." It dawned on me that I have a little black spot on my laptop screen so now I'm scrolling through a bunch of random photos in my Facebook feed and seeing what people would look like with a mole under their eye like Blake Lively or above their lip like Cindy Crawford. So far the results have been really positive and now I want a Blake Lively or Cindy Crawford mole.
I've noticed that the only time I do kegels is when I read something about doing kegels. And then I instantly start doing them.
(Mwuahah I bet you all just did a kegel)
Actually, I didn't, because the thought of doing one with hemorrhoids and swamp crotch is icking me out. (Sorry for the visual.)
Don't do it with the hemorrhoids. Hurts. You jinxed me because mine are killing me. I think I only have one, size of half a grape. And then This area of random tiny ones. I also wanted to tell you... Tmi, but I bought gloves and push mine back in. It makes a world of a difference!!! Hard to do at first (mentally) but I was desperate.

Couldn't think of a random to share earlier.
I slept at least 9 hours and didn't move. I was dead, so the sleep was well needed! I didn't even wake up to pee.. That means I was out cold.
I'm getting to the fat feet stage I think. By the end of the day my gym shoes are too tight! These are my expensive ass Asics...like 150. I hope I am able to fit into the after all is said and done!
bwisco123 oh that's awful. I'm glad your H shut her down and told you about it, but I sympathize with the stress you must feel knowing he has to work with her still. He must be an amazing man to have so many admirers.
petrichor Your Facebook post is so beautiful. It brought tears to my eyes! Your strength is so inspiring and I hope you continue to get many more amazing comments like that.
@gfj48 The decals look AWESOME! Can't wait to see the finished room. I think we should definitely start a nursery thread. I never know where I should share all of the nursery progress excitement.
We've been working on the nursery and playroom in our house a lot lately too. It feels like it's starting to come together, but there is so much left that I want to do at the same time. Our nursery furniture came in unexpectedly early (they said early April and it came in this week - score!). I will be living on Pinterest for the weekend coming up with decorating ideas!
I'm playing some catch up from yesterday and today.
petrichor What a beautiful post! I'm glad you were able to share so openly.
I think it's ridiculous that whenever I don't want people to try to sell me stuff, they won't leave me alone. But for the past week, I'm waving my money around trying to find a Girl Scout to buy cookies from, and they're nowhere to be found.

I've attempted to barricade myself in the library to write a paper for my grad school class, because I know I can't concentrate very well at home. I've been working for a few hours now, but now there's this really obnoxious guy talking loudly on the phone. Really fucking annoying, especially because I'm working in the library's "quiet area." Dude, STFU and take that phone call outside or elsewhere.
@gfj48 where did you find those decals? I'm looking for some sort of decal for the walls just haven't decided what yet. I'm on the hunt for cute ones!
Also we finally got all of our taxes back! Paid off the ridiculous tv that DH got a couple months ago and ordered a dresser for the nursery. Since DH got a $1500 tv, I'm buying some shoes today and I'm so excited. My poor feet will love me for some new/comfy kicks. Now the trick is to find dressier ones for work that still are super comfy to be in all day. I think I'm going to try some sketchers that are nice and plain and no one will notice.
I love tennis shoes, they are my favorite shoe to buy. With that said, sketchers are so ridiculously uncomfortable after the first week! They fall apart about as fast. I won't even buy them for my kids. I have found Asics, Under Armour, and Nike Free Runs to be my favorites. My dad prefers New Balance because he has wide feet.
I randomly started watching the first season of Scandal this morning and now I'm on episode 8. On the plus side, I've been cleaning while watching so win win.

My son had two friends sleep over last night, and not sure I'm going to do that again for a while. They were up super early and one of the kids was out of control obnoxious. I have a headache and need a nap.
