adetheridge I am so jealous. I have my glucose test right after school today so I probably shouldnt stuff my face with ALL THE CANDY AND TREATS that will be at our preschool Valentines Party. GRRRRR. OB said eat however I want up until an hour before the test...and now that I think about it, I have been shoving my face with candy all week so maybe I SHOULD eat all the candy and treats...
sunshyneshay I was going to get a latte this morning but now I want a shamrock shake!
***the fact that I have my glucose test today has me nervous about both of these decisions...
Just drank the Orange syrup nastiness myself. Honestly, have the candy. It's your pre-reward for going through this test. Ugh. Gross.
I second this ? eat the treats and candy! I'm wishing my students would have brought in better treats and candy....
Starbuck128-so sorry you and little guy are ill. Happy birthday to him and hopefully you all feel better soon petrichor- holy geez 2 months! Thats so exciting sunshyneshay- I totally just called my DH, who works right next to a mcdonalds, and told him if they had them already he better be bringing me one on his way through town! My absolute favorite but, they usually don't have them until March.
My random- The state fair here just announced Def Leopard, Styx and Tesla on Aug 15th. I can't decide if I want to risk my boobs bursting to be at the concert, or if LO and I will just hang outside the grandstand most of the night to listen
If it's an outdoor concert and you can sit far out in the grass, I'd go with LO.
We bought a house in January but are renting back to the Seller while our lease is still ongoing and they are building their house. I am trying to schedule some painting contractors to go out to the house to give me estimates on getting the interior painted and the tenant/Seller is saying there is not really a good time for them to have someone come by... even though I would be there as well. Now they are asking if they move out 2 weeks earlier than planned that gives me more time to get painters out there and they want a portion of their rent back. When we signed the Possession of Seller Agreement we all crossed out the part where it said any rent would be refunded if they moved out early. My issue is we would be paying our current rent then plus half their rent back if I accept their proposal, which I don't want to do. But at the same time I would love to have the extra 2 weeks to get things done before we move in. I also don't want to be a complete bitch and say no and point out the Agreement and then they not be cooperative with us. I am not sure what to do. I have an email into my realtor to see what she says as well.
She decided a few weeks ago that she wanted to throw her own shower for me, and my family throw their own separate one for me. Which is totally fine. But because she's so excited about this baby, she decided to have an early shower which is scheduled for this Sunday. Well, since it was all so last minute, the invites went out so late and she sent them out in the middle of w blizzard which delayed them even longer. By the time it got to the guests, it only gave them a couple days to RSVP by. Some didn't get them till well after the RSVP date. Needless to say, not a lot of people are able to make it since she gave no one any notice.
Now fast forward to now... Weather for this weekend is saying we're getting a nor'easter, 8-12 inches of snow, and could see blizzard conditions at some points. My SIL and I are trying to talk her into finding a "rain date" in case we need to post pone. Well, my MIL won't even discuss that. Her rationale is: "everyone who's coming lives close anyway". Um NO. If it's blizzard conditions and all, I don't want people risking their lives to come to my shower. Not to mention that most people will probably not come anyway!!! I get that she's very excited about this and is just in denial that she has to cancel it, but come on. Let's be smart about this. She's a very stubborn woman.
amylee545, MIL's IMO SUCK. I know mine sure does, for some reason she is also so selfish. Also, if we get the 12-18 inches of snow they are calling for Saturday, I may lose my mind. How terrible of her to plan everything half assed! I hated that, do it right or not at all.
Camping out at the lab this morning for the 3 hour glucose test. They said my doctor will have results in 2 business days, but I'm expecting GD diagnosis since I bombed my 1 hour and my mom had it. The lab tech is very sweet and friendly. As she was chattering to distract me from the 1st needle (I'm not good with needles) she asked how far along I am (26 weeks). "Oh, you don't even look pregnant! Just a little fat!" Um....
WTF?!
I had my glucose test this morning and the woman drawing my blood could not get a good vein. She poked me several times in my arms then moved on to me hand. At one point I had to tell her blood was pouring out of the needle site. She ended up getting barely over 1ml of blood and said that "should" be enough. I really don't want to have to do this over again.

Ah, I'm not even sure if we'll try taking LO to the state fair this year. If we do, I'm sure it'll be a much shorter day. I can't imagine standing outside the grandstand with LO trying to listen to the concert though. I would probably just go to the concert if I were you!
What do all you moms do with your kids' Valentine's cards from school?? We usually throw them out after a few months, but I'm wondering if there's something better to do with them rather than having them sit in her room for a few months.
When I was little we had a big box in our craft room and we would put all cards there then when we were doing a craft we would cut the hearts, balloons etc out of the cards. We made homemade bday cards and pictures and things like that from them.

Totally get where you are coming from but my DH and family show sheep, so this has been their summer vacation since they were in grade school. I'm talking camp out the entire 2 weeks and go every day. Since having kids we just go for the weekends Fri-sun and stay at the camper so we have a place to go back to several times a day. There are at any given point no less than 6 of us in a group during the day so it makes for an easy day watching the kiddos. I'm thinking if i can get one nursing session in during the first part of the concert baby can go back with family and have bottles until I get back and DH and I can just sit outside of grandstand and *eat* while listening.

Ugh, that sounds awful! You should say something to a supervisor. I have no tolerance for incompetent blood draws. You get one chance to get my blood, after that I'm insisting on someone else. Otherwise I go into panic attacks. I hate needles. Number one reason why I'm trying to avoid an epidural lol
I had to do a 2nd drug test this week, this morning at 7am. The first one they didn't even test bc my urine was "off color" it was a little darker, so probably die to dehydration. So since I'm going to work for the Sheriff's office they had me come in again. This time someone had to observe me pee. Great way to start the day. Someone watching you pee at 7am lol.

Gotcha! That makes total sense! I'd love to camp there someday! We normally just do a long day.

I believe a landlord is allowed to come in for things like painting, if it's required, as long as you give appropriate notice. However, that sometimes requires quite a fight - so it might be easier waiting until you're moved in to get the painting done.

And the kicker is... we don't want the painting done until they move out... we just want estimates given so we know who to book for the painting.

I don't have personal experience, but when we saw Train at the zoo amphitheater a few years ago, the couple sitting next to us had a 3-4 month old. They took turns wearing her throughout the night and she honestly slept most of it. Now, I'm seeing Train again on 7/1 and I considered taking little miss, but the concert is on a hill and I just can't do it.
My parents say I slept through the Grateful Dead concert they took me to when I was 2 months old.

oh geez - well that's totally unreasonable of them then! I thought maybe they were worried about getting paint on their stuff!

And I thought I was having a bad day!
That's just the start of my day. I had to be at work at 8, which is on the other side of town from the drug test. I get off at 130 and have to be downtown and find parking by 2 to meet the sheriff and chief. Then I have to go to the other side of again for my 28 wk appt. Then downtown again for beerfest where i get to watch DH and his buddies drink!
Fortunately I have a three day weekend! So regardless of all that I have going on, I'm super excited!

I scheduled a 3d ultrasound for tomorrow and was told to make sure I drink at least 80 ounces of water today (to help make sure amniotic fluid is clear). This is going to be very difficult since I maybe drink half that amount each day. I know it is not good for the baby, but I have never been good at fluid intake. Here's to being in the bathroom every 5 minutes!

Oh right, I remember you mentioning the beer fest. Well, Happy Friday the 13th!

Starbuck128, Sorry to hear he's sick on his birthday! Maybe you can have a rain date when you're all feeling better.
Anyone who follows the IL thread knows that I'm having issues with MIL. We had a whole blow-up about how much stuff she buys for DD and how often they see each other....MIL always wants it to be more, more, more. Anyway, we're on a self-imposed break from talking to each other as it was getting out of hand - so DH and DD went to stay overnight at IL's house last weekend and it seemed to go well. DH and I are thinking maybe take another few weeks to let everything mellow and then move forward.
Yesterday, we got a package in the mail from MIL with a Valentine's Day gift for DD even though she saw her four days ago. Eye roll, but whatever. Then I notice a card include for DH and I. I open it and there's a $1,000 check and a note saying the ILs will also be paying for daycare when the baby arrives. WTF? Why can't MIL just let things lie? Now I'm in the position of telling them, that while it's a generous offer, we can and want to provide for own kids and it's going to start WWIII all over again. We do not like taking money from other people in general and specifically from them as it comes with all sorts of emotional strings attached and while we're not rich, we're not struggling either. Sigh...
On the plus side, DH and I are going out for a Valentine's Day brunch tomorrow and I'm going to eat all of the food.
I have a stroller that I want to sell so I can buy a different one. I wanted to offer it up to May15 first before I pursue craigslist Etc. I know there's a buy/sell/trade board but it's empty. honeylemon do we know if that's allowed? I don't want to be that girl.
Okay I don't get it. What's the actual difference between the "speed probing" thread and the everyday "randoms" thread??
It started as a way for a few of us to race to the bronze reg status and now that it's so many pages we just keep it going. It's just randomness that no one else cares to hear about really...And gifs. Lots of gifs.
