Speaking of Saturday

[gldnbearz]

Since LO is up and hungry, let's talk breakfast or brunch today.

What is your favorite breakfast or brunch?

[gldnbearz]

Eggs - in any form scrambled, omelettes, frittatas, French toast, pancakes. Except running yolks - those kinda gross me out.

[spikesmom]

Chocolate chip pancakes with real butter and syrup...sugar overload but oh so good:-) to bad butter isn't allowed right now.

I also love runny yolked eggs (no runny whites though) with toast to dip in them and bacon. Max and I actually had this for dinner one night except his egg was scrambled!

[sadie74]

Yummy. I love potatoes, over medium eggs, toast, milk and coffee. Now I'm starving. LO and I are hanging out in bed but this is prompting me to get up and make some eggs.
DH has to work today and I guess his work is talking about putting him on a shift that would go 3pm-3am. I would never see him on the days he worked. Not excited for this. At. All.
@spikesmon I loved the pictures you posted yesterday. So cute!

[spiraltheory]

Mmmmm. Breakfast. I love loaded hashbrowns - onions, green peppers, bacon, cheese, topped with salsa.
Today is my husband's birthday, so maybe we'll go out for a late breakfast. Yummmm

[MsNicole06]

Scrambled eggs, bacon, toast and pancakes. Apple juice one the summer and hot chocolate in the winter.

I love breakfast for dinner. I wish DH did. I prefer breakfast at home rather than out.

Edit because I hit post too soon

[songbirdsinging55]

I love breakfast! Scrambled eggs, with cheese and salsa, waffles with strawberry syrup and cantelope slices. And a cup of OJ

[songbirdsinging55]

Oh I forgot home fries and tortillas chopped up

[songbirdsinging55]

Today is a busy day. It is my nephew's birthday party and then dinner with my Aunt and Uncle from NY. They are in town for the weekend.
I forgot to post last night but Isaac is 7 months! I am hoping to get real family photos done soon but here are some from last night. He chewed up my 7 month sign lol

[spiraltheory]

Ya'll are a bad influence! I ordered a birthday breakfast for my husband and made him pick it up!

[MsNicole06]

songbirdsinging55 I can't get over all those teeth. I was so excited because DD has 2.

[nerdalert]

I am not a huge fan of breakfast food, but I do like hashbrowns and overeasy eggs.

songbirdsinging55 Those teeth! Wow, how cute! We are still toothless over here, which I'm fine with! Haha.

On another note, remember a week or two ago when I said that in almost 3 years of marriage DH and I have never had a condom break? Well, I must have jinxed it because that definitely happened this morning. Ha! So I guess I'll POAS in a month or so? I still don't have a period so who knows.

[zengal]

Mmm I love a spinach quiche, tarts, and mimosas brunch!! I'll eat waffles or pancakes any time of day or night-
Sorry about the potential schedule sadie74.
Happy Birthday Mr. spiraltheory!
nerdalert whoa...my bff is going to poas in two days. Yikes!
I'm visiting family today while DH works. I miss him!

[sadie74]

Happy birthday Mr. spiraltheory!
songbirdsinging55 how many teeth does he have? We still don't have here, but ok about 95% sure we have one on its way.
nerdalert oh no that sucks! I'm sure your fine if you still haven't had your period, but I hate that feeling.
zengal boo to husbands working on Saturdays. I wish I had family near by.
It's noon here and so far I've vacuumed, swept, cleaned the kitchen and bathroom, started laundry, cleaned the PnP mat, and cleaned a massive blowout. I feel pretty accomplished because I'm usually a procrastinator.

[wildflower810]

Drive by. M was up waaaay too early this morning, went down for a nap, and I crashed on the couch. He woke up at some point but I was too out of it to get up, he must have gone back to sleep. I finally woke up kinda, looked at my phone, and it had been THREE HOURS. I felt drugged and horrible, but I must have needed it.

H is at work all day, and I got our convertible seat installed in the car. That thing is a freaking tank!!! I'm so glad he will last in that seat for several years and I'm done car seat shopping for a long time.

nerdalert, uh oh! If you just happened to have the right (wrong) timing, you'd turn a test in 2 weeks. So, I'd say test in 14-16 days and believe whatever the result it.

[MsNicole06]

sadie74 that sounds like a productive weekend.

How many people have switched to the convertible car seat? I've brought it up but DH doesn't see the point since her carrier is rated up to 30 lbs.

[songbirdsinging55]

Happy Birthday spiraltheory!!!!

[songbirdsinging55]

nerdalert - lol to the jinx because that is exactly what happened to me when I posted. The day before I was discussing how realistically condoms never break. Shows us what we know lol
sadie74- you motivate me to clean my apt! DH was home all week and it is still a mess!
wildflower810 -yay for long lasting carseats! Also it sounds like that sleep was needed.
MsNicole06- I still have the infant one. It goes up to 30lbs. Soon we will need to switch.

6 so far. 4 up top two on the bottom. So weird and so cute.

[sadie74]

MsNicole06 we switched because our carrier only went to 22lbs and DD weighs 21 already. I would hold off as long as possible, or you feel comfortable with. I miss being able to carry her in while she's asleep. Now I have to hangout in the car with her or to take her out without waking. Which has never happened.

[MsNicole06]

sadie74 that was DHs biggest argument the sleep times. Plus both sets of grandparents have a base and it's nice for them if they were to need to pick her up at daycare.

[wildflower810]

MsNicole06 and songbirdsinging55... look at the height limits! Our seat goes up to 30 lbs, but also 30 inches (Chicco KeyFit 30) and M was 28 inches at his 6 month check. AND PLUS ALSO... baby's head needs to be at least 1 inch below the top of the shell. So, you might outgrow the height limit before the weight limit.

Oh, and then double check how you have your seat installed. Come to find out today that most sedans don't let you use LATCH in the middle seat. We've been doing it wrong for the last 6 months. Go me.

[sadie74]

wildflower810 I did not know that about sedans! Good to know. Thank you!

[MsNicole06]

@wildflowers810 thanks for mentioning the length. DD is 3" away from the recomended length for our seat. Guess we do need to research new seats.

Edit to add:
Also DH did look in his owners Manuel about the latch thing. I drive a minivan so we were bucket seats. Anytime I see seats in the middle I always hope their car isn't like DHs.

[wildflower810]

sadie74, I didn't either! I feel so dumb, but I let H install the base and just assumed he'd do it right. He's an engineer... but he didn't read the car's owner's manual. You need to read both the seat's manual AND the car's manual.

MsNicole06, yyeeahh, M was like 1.25 inches away from the top of the seat. Finding him a new car seat became an immediate need. That was how I spent my Monday and Tuesday this week. Not. Fun.

Here I've been all uppity about thinking I had my seat safely installed, always made sure the chest clip was at armpit level, etc, etc... nope. I'm that percentage of people who installed their car seat wrong. Nothing happened and M was still probably safe... but I'm eating a bit of humble pie right now.

[nerdalert]

wildflower810 Does that still work if my cycles are super long? Obviously I don't know if this has changed because I haven't had a period, but pre-pregnancy my cycle was irregular, anywhere from 30-45 days.

I'm not freaking out about it at all, because we want more kids and are ready (I just wanted to wait a little longer for emotional reasons more than anything). I just don't like the uncertainty.

Re convertible seats: LO is about 18lbs and 26in. We're still using the infant seat (chicco keyfit 30) and will until she outgrows it. I love the convenience of being able to take her inside when she's asleep.

Thank you for this info! Isaac is 28 inches and I just checked the height limit which is 28.5! So I am currently shopping now.
