Because I can't sleep. Because I can't escape the sound of DH's snoring.
Any other moms out there on their second+ and maybe this one was a bit of a surprise (or a really big one)? I gave away more baby stuff than I realized... Not that it can't be replaced, but dang. Kicking myself a little.
Just chiming in to say hey. The dog woke us up, my husband went back to snoring, so the dog and I came down to watch greys anatomy. I had cereal and it gave me a stomachache. Great start to Saturday!

I am up for no reason. It's raining. DH fell asleep on the couch so I'm snuggling with my chihuahua in our king bed. Betcha I take a nice nap this afternoon.
I finished watching Haven on Netflix and need to see if I can watch season 5 online somewhere. It's a cool series, if you like sci fi. It's based on Stephen King's Colorado Kid.
DS1's bday party is this afternoon. I burned his cupcakes TWICE last night. and the second time they were burned on the bottom, but the center wasn't cooked, wtf oven? I'm so upset that I have to use store bought cupcakes. Cupcakes are my thing!!

I'm really good with cookies and this happened recently. Then I made more and dropped a sheet of them into the oven. I cried. H got donuts instead (I was making them for his colleagues).
mrskblack11, I always take advantage of all the extra bed space when DH falls asleep on the couch. I'm also treasuring each lazy morning these days because I know it is going to change very soon.
bendherova, I'm sorry about the cupcakes! Like erbear, I've been having major issues with baking recently too.

This one wasn't really a surprise per say but my last one was almost six years ago am we didn't have a crib or normal stuff for her because of her medical requirements. We have a medical bed that she still uses. So all of my baby stuff would have been from 9 years ago today with my first! I was 16 and didn't even have a crib! Yes my son lived in a pack n play until old enough for a toddler bed. So all new stuff for this little girl.

Awe that sucks! My DS bday is today but instead of a big party I am taking him to powerplay with the family. That place is insane and awesome! Like a huge indoor carnival. Next weekend is a bday party and I have to make a cake! Ugh. I am not a good baker at all!!
We were NTNP but shocked when I got pregnant, there will be only 12 months between my 2 so I still need most things again, cot, highchair double stroller etc. I bought a new car seat even though I can use DS as we got him the next size up. I just felt most things for this baby will be hand me downs so a new car seat to bring him/her home would be nice since I kind of bash the other one around. How are you getting on buying baby bits? I have literally put the deposit on the stroller and new car seats and bought 4 cellular blankets that's it. I really need to start picking up some clothes for this baby.
I sold the double stroller and play yard, gave away the carseat, and the hardware to the crib was stolen with some tools (but it wasn't going to fit anyway). I'm trying to be patient and wait to find the stroller I really want on craigslist (summit xc jogger), and still haven't bought a new carseat. We did find a nice cosleeper for by the bed, and I still have a box of NB & 0-3 month clothing, so we're good on clothes for at least a month!

We got so many hand me downs from my sister and some friends and we're super thankful but I've had to talk my husband into letting me get a few things that I pick out. We were given 3 strollers but they were all lower quality and from experience I know how nice it is having a good quality stroller. I did settle, didn't get the Stoke Explory but I'm very happy with my choice.
My random is that I have 7 more days of work and I am so relieved because it is so demanding but for some reason I'm regretting my decision...but just a little bit.
I've been on my feet pretty much non-stop the past 3 days and I've been a lot more "active" than usual. Today, I'm hurting. My pelvic area HURTS, my cervix HURTS, my lower back is sore and I'm having period like cramps that are shooting into my thighs...Every time she moves I wanna cry. I really haven't felt like this ever with this pregnancy. My PGaL brain is messing with me BAD and I'm paranoid. I don't wanna drive 45 mins to the hospital just to be told I'm fine & need to "take it easy"... ::sigh::

Ugh. Bitch time.
The men are having a board game day, so DH and kids and I are hanging out at IL's. I had a nice relaxing day planned, letting the kids watch tv (we don't have netflix at home, so this is a treat for them), while I worked on some knitting.
Then SIL shows up for breakfast (without her husband) and announces her 2 older kids are on a TV fast, so we have to turn the TV off. And now I'm on kid duty for 4.
I hope they leave soon. Maybe I should let slip one of the kids from a bday party last weekend has chicken pox.....

Do it!!! I totally would. And just because her kids can't watch tv doesn't mean yours shouldn't. She can always take her kids to a different room. And why are you on kid duty of 4?? What is she doing that she can't watch her own kids.

I've been home alone with DD all week and I'm exhausted. I hauled her into Starbucks today after a way too early morning and the barista asked if I wanted decaf. Stop judging me, and go make my caffeinated coffee.
H is just working some HS basketball games today then we are off to my parents farm to celebrate my brother's birthday. The temperature dropped and it's snowing, happy spring tomorrow I plan on getting more of DS's new room put together.
One of my very best friends is in from out of town, and to make a very long story short, his lodging plans for part of the trip fell through and he'll be staying here from today until Tuesday morning. I love him to death and I haven't seen him in two years, so I was looking forward to getting together with him...I just didn't expect him to be here for that length of time. (I actually left the decision as to whether to let him stay here up to DH...I thought he was going to say no, and then he surprised me.) I know everything will be fine, and again, I'm excited to finally see him. It's just that we've been having a lot of work done in the house as part of baby preparation, and I like to zone out on the weekends and do nothing when I don't have any work to do, so I'll just have to adjust to someone else being in my space for a while.

I'm at work
I'll be here all day
The bright side of my day is that I went for a 6 mile run with some friends this morning and might have found a new running buddy. I was complaining to one of them (my first time running with her) about how I haven't had time to run during the week anymore because work is so busy, so I make myself get up at 6 on Saturday because it's the only time I have to run. She promised she'd meet me every Saturday until I "popped."

Good for you for being so athletic! I don't think I could walk a mile right now let alone run 6 miles

My basement is almost finished!!! I'm so excited. Dd1 is going to move down there and her old room is going to be the nursery. It is killing me to not even have a place to work on for the baby yet.

I am in the same boat! Your ahead of us though. We have to finish the walls and paint the basement then DS can move down there and we can finally begin on the nursery. Ugh so stressful not having it done yet!

Did I miss an update from the girl whole bil n sil had a lot of kids they were gonna adopt? Been thinking about lately and feel like I missed the update.
My coworkers said I cant start to hatch at work BC they would have to clean up the mess n they don't wanna do that. Is water breaking that messy? <----- SS question?

DH and I were checking out at the grocery store and suddenly the power went out and the whole building shook. I thought the HVAC system had broken down.
Once outside, we could see black smoke billowing to the west. Turns out a house exploded half a mile away.
My coworkers said I cant start to hatch at work BC they would have to clean up the mess n they don't wanna do that. Is water breaking that messy? <----- SS question?
Nice coworkers. Not a SS question I don't think.
It depends. Many women don't have their water break until after they're admitted to the hospital, their labor doesn't start that way, so it could easily be a non-issue. If you're really worried you could wear a pad every day closer to your due date. When my water broke (in the hospital, hours after my contractions had been going for 2-3 min. apart) it was like I was peeing myself for a couple seconds but obviously it wasn't coming from the right place. Some people do have a big gush of liquid, but that wasn't my case. I ended up having to have my water broken a couple times, it was pockets of fluid for me rather than a single huge gush.
So in other words, it totally depends. I do recall we threw a towel on the seat of the car en route to the hospital just in case!

Ohhh okay. Yeah, all in good fun they are. I think they jst like to try and scare me. Lol!
Thank you! I read multiple ways but never got the impression that it would be enough to warrant a clean up. Lol thank you!
