Fr-fr-fr-friday randoms!

renegadewhit: Depends who made it. It could be soy/tofu or cashews. I bought a Key Lime one while visiting my ILs and they all thought it tasted decent. I'm gluten/lactose free so sadly no "real" cheesecake for me.

On the food front, I just looked at this week on Babsizer cravings and discovered baby is the size of filet mignon. That's all I want to eat now!

I just got home from work, which was driving around with my brother all day talking to prospects and taking turns stopping to pee (me) and poop (him), which is always more exhausting than I expect. I need to put on shorts to go to the homecoming parade since ds is there with mil but damn I'm tired.

@amc25 are you near a Coldstone? I saw a sign on their window while I was at lunch today for pumpkin cheesecake.

Nope. Closest one is 100+ miles from me. The Cheesecake Factory has a location about an hour from here, but I'm not driving 2 hours roundtrip for a slice of cheesecake. Lol. Guess I'll hold out hope that the grocery store or Sam's Club will start stocking them soon!

Our Cheesecake Factory is near a nice mall and Buy Buy Baby and BRU. I usually stop into one of those to justify an hour drive for cheesecake or other delicious food near those.

....And now I need to bake a pumkin pie tomorrow to eat.

I have gained 8lbs since my bfp. I think I'm ok with that for now but hopefully I don't gain too much over Thanksgiving. Without alcohol though, I think I deserve all the desserts.

I'm so tired but don't want to go to sleep yet. I want to enjoy my night. But I don't want to do anything.

Time for my favorite gif again:

That gif is the perfect representation of Dh and I discussing dinner. I was Noah though. Legit named no less than 15 different food options and dh couldn't decide.

Pretty sure I used it when trying to describe my hunger versus my pregnant stomach.

1) We have chickens and I get irrationally excited when I find eggs. It's like Easter every day. And no I don't live in a rural area.

2) I wish DH had taken the puppy with him. He's an almost year old lab and I've already walked him a mile today and he's driving me nuts.

3) we have one chicken who got injured by said puppy and now the other chickens pick on her so she tries to sleep on top of the coop every night and I have to go get on a stool and get her. Dumbass.

I love chickens! When we get a house I'm planning on getting a coop. Your hurt chicken story makes me sad though

They are not easy to keep alive. We've lost two to a fox, one to a Hawk and one to the dog. This one is gonna be okay, though.

Tomorrow is H's birthday. Last year, his parents forgot and never called to wish him a happy birthday. He says it doesn't bother him, but he still brings it up so I know it does (I'm still mad about it). To make things worse, they called for my bday a few weeks ago, so if they forget his again I think I'm going to say something to them. They're not super warm and fuzzy (they are good parents), which I think/H says is mostly a cultural thing, but my H still appreciates being loved and appreciated!

Because he likely won't be home until after midnight, I'm baking a cake, decorating the kitchen, and setting up all of his gifts on the kitchen table to celebrate when he gets home. That means I must stay up until he gets home...which is 4 1/2+ hours away...wish me luck.

MH bought me some chocolate cake that I have been craving. It is fucking amazing. I need it every day. EVERYDAY!
But now I want cheesecake!

[glb30]

kaits8 happy birthday to your H! I think your little celebration plan is really sweet.

And wtf on his parents forgetting his bday! My parents aren't warm and fuzzy either, but I'd be mad about that!

[kaits8]

glb30, thank you! And right!? I get that we live on opposite sides of the country and they don't talk every day, but you don't forget your child's birthday! It still makes me want to cry because it clearly hurt his feelings so bad. I was even angrier when they called to wish me a happy birthday this year. Like, don't be calling your DIL (and we're friendly but I only talk to them if I happen to be around when H is on the phone with them) when you forget your own son's birthday! I'm going to through a fit if they don't call him tomorrow. Stay tuned for tomorrow's randoms thread

[erinshelley21]

kaits8 DH's parents (divorced) never made a big deal over DH's birthday when he was growing up. His dad didn't even call him to wish him happy birthday last year and its not the first time. I've spent 8 years trying to get him excited about his birthday and I'm just not getting anywhere.

[moutonrouge]

I'm trying to decide what to do tomorrow. I signed up for a Fit4Baby class across town, and I'm tempted to take the dog to doggie daycare to get some energy out. And maybe in the meantime I'll go to the mall? I dunno.

[callmeKD]

Adding cheesecake to my list of foods to immediately eat after these babies are born. Also on the list - a glass (or several) of gazela wine.

[glb30]

moutonrouge it sounds like you have a nice day planned!

[kaits8]

erinshelley21, that's AMAZING news! I'm so relieved and happy for you. That must be such a huge weight off your shoulders!

Good news! I won't have to rob a bank or sell a body part to pay for progesterone injections!

I am eligible for financial assistance through Makena, the drug company. I'll only have to pay $100/month. Just like that the price per injection goes down $3975.

Praise the lord! So glad for you!
