Today I made hard boiled eggs, and when I was filling the pot with cold water after they were done, I got distracted by the Bachelorette that I had on the tv and walked out. I was thinking the pot was in the sink for this, per the usual, but no, I had stuck it on the counter. Water everywhere when I returned 2 minutes later. GAH.
My husband just sent me this: babysizer.com/ and I like it. It tells you the size of your baby either with foods you've actually heard of, or a "manly" item. Important information, yo.
This is great. I've got a donut hole in my ute. Which is apropos considering I ate 3 donuts today....

Oh my god. My husband apparently lives in perpetual fear of my daughter making a mess. We live in a shithole that is perpetually messy these days. She's three. Her JOB IN LIFE is to make messes. God. I'm so tired of hearing "No, you can't play with that, you'll make a mess." She's not going to burn the house down, contain her and let her go. She'll lose interest when she realizes it's not that interesting.
Phew. Sorry. That probably belongs in the other thread.
In the good news, we had off work today due to the tropical storm (which has been a non-event in my area, which means goooood luck getting another weather day off short of a hurricane in the next few months). We had a nice morning, child-free, because work wasn't cancelled until DD was already at my mom's house. We slept in, had a nice lunch out (leftovers for dinner, yeeesssss) and then went to BRU and bought the first things for this baby. It was nice.
I'm tired though, and wishing I could have napped while DD was napping.
Also, I am insanely jealous of anyone that can feel their baby move. I WANT TO FEEL MOVEMENT!!!
Drink cold water. Lie really still. Sometimes it feels like gas but it's different you could be missing it !! Movement for me amped up over the weekend and I just hit 18w today. Now I feel baby move err day.

You must not be far from me. All that panic over nothing. I still had to go to work though.
I have done almost nothing but nap today. It's almost dinner time. DD and I are still in our nightgowns. Yes, nightgowns. All maxi dresses become nightgowns for me because the girls hang out but they are so comfy that I can't quit them.

Me, too, though we are pretty inland. DH is out of town and keeps messaging to check how the weather is. He's having worse weather than we are.
I'm jealous of people who can eat things at the moment. I should be eating fruit and veggies, but all I can stomach is cereal and popcorn. I have no idea what I'm making DD and I for dinner. I guess pasta again...

Probably! But man. It's like pulling teeth. With the flooding in May, they had us coming in for awhile - our street was flooded, which has happened 3 times in the 9 years we've lived here. This time, I was fully expecting to go in, at least this morning, when it was clear how delayed the storm's landfall was, but they cancelled.
And now they'll be gun-shy again. It's frustrating. Basically, the rule of thumb just needs to be 'Do Whatever HISD Is Doing' . . .

Just got back from dinner with my BFF and her kids. Apparently her 3rd grade son has a friend who just shows up (by car, not a next-door neighbor situation) without being invited. On a regular basis. She says the parents don't speak great English, so clearly this kid is scamming his parents and saying he's invited. He showed up today, and my kids ended up feeling left out. My friend felt bad, too. I wanted to smack that kid on several occasions, too. No way I would let this happen, that kid would be promptly dropped back off at his own house and told to return when invited.

That is strange. Has she tried to reach out to how parents, even with the language barrier? I wonder if it's a way for him to get away from a negative environment at home.

I think it's a recent-ish thing. She doesn't have their phone number- it's like they pulled up at her house one day and said what time should I get him? Today she was out running an errand when it happened, and I was there- car pulls up, kid hops out, comes to the door, he tells her kid that he's getting picked up at 7:30. Her ex-husband was getting her kids later, so he just took him home after picking them up at 6:30. I think she's waiting it out since the last day of school is in a couple days. She says if it continues to happen once summer starts she'll either talk to the kid, or make her house less appealing by having a no video game rule or something. I hope it's not something like a bad situation at home- my instinct says it's because she's got tons of cool toys and stuff there, and he has all older teenage siblings at home.

I am feeling uncomfortable. I can feel the cerclage - which happened sometimes before, especially after being too active. It's a weird feeling and I hate this period of re-learning how things feel with the cerclage. My anxiety is higher than usual.
Also, I am insanely jealous of anyone that can feel their baby move. I WANT TO FEEL MOVEMENT!!!
Drink cold water. Lie really still. Sometimes it feels like gas but it's different you could be missing it !! Movement for me amped up over the weekend and I just hit 18w today. Now I feel baby move err day.

Ill try this before going to bed!
I hope it works!!!! It tends to for me but not all the time. Once you feel it though it's easier to pick out through the day!!! Baby has also been more active.. or I feel it more.. after I've been walking around.
