Board Check-in 7/10

[dashook]

Good afternoon, lovely ladies!  

How is life?  How are you doing?  Any weekend plans?  Check in here!

[toratoratori]

Thanks for posting this, dashook! I meant to post a GTKY thread yesterday, but then I couldn't come up with any questions, and then I got distracted and forgot about it altogether. I'm the worst.

I have lunch with the girls from the Seattle GBCN board tomorrow! I'm excited. I've met most of them before, but one in particular is coming all the way from London, and it's the first time most of them will be meeting C!

Life is good, but marriage post-baby is challenging. I may post a separate thread about it when I have more time, because there are some cultural factors involved.

Going to a food truck festival in Atlanta tomorrow! You're so right toratoratori...even 14 months later post-baby life is hard at times.

Noooo! You're supposed to tell me that once a full year passes, everything goes back to normal and life is better than ever!

[lecky11]

Sorry toratoratori. Gotta keep it real!

Pretty quiet weekend here. We played a card RPG with some friends last night and had some good beers. Ran errands today and then spent the afternoon trying to not get overly sweaty since its up in the 90s today. DH is BBQing burgers for dinner. No real plans yet for tomorrow, besides hitting up the farmers market in the morning.

lecky11, a food truck festival sounds like fun!

toratoratori, have fun at the meet up!

And dashook, what are you up to this weekend?

[dashook]

Haha wow, bonzo2012, I totally unintentionally posted and ran on this thread!

Yesterday we had a big bbq at our house in Baby H's honor--it was fun but a ton of work. It was our first real grown-up party with babies and kids running all around!

Today we relaxed, took a 2-hour family nap, then headed into Boston for the afternoon, just to walk around and take baby to see the harbor seals outside the aquarium. It was a really nice day

As far as life in general goes, things are pretty good! Biggest struggle right now is baby's erratic sleep (what else is new, right?). I'm also looking for a new job, as my current one ends next month.

toratoratori, let us know what's on your mind whenever you have a moment; I'd love to help if I can!

dashook, sounds like a fun weekend!

I had forgotten that DH was starting a week of swing shift this week, so he headed in to work not long after we got back from the farmer's market today. It's been a quiet day for me -- laundry and Internet. I thought about going outside to weed, but it was hot so I stayed in with the AC instead

Hi all! Took v on her first road trip to see my friends up north! Not as bad as I expected!

Late to the game. The weekend was pretty quite. The H and I went looking for houses (renting) and I saw one on Saturday. We put in the application yesterday and found out today we were approved!! Sunday was a pretty quiet day. I am doing good otherwise. Sweltering being 6 months pregnant in this Florida heat.

[kaeguri]

Also late! We took a short 100 mile road trip to go to the zoo since it's the last weekend I'm allowed to leave town before my EDD. This weekend we have a breastfeeding class but no other plans. Trying to get as much date time in with H before baby comes!

sonpetitlapin Florida heat is no joke. I'm SC low country, so we get the heat and humidity here too. 100 degrees with 99% humidity and thunderstorms every daaayyyyyy. I stay inside as much as possible, but everything there is to do is outside. Might just go to the beach and wallow in the surf like a beached whale, but there have been like 12 shark attacks where I live in the past month. I do not want to be shark bait.

[dashook]

sonpetitlapin, congrats on the approval--that's awesome! Hope you're staying cool.
kaeguri, good idea on the date time before baby comes--hope you guys have fun

[sonpetitlapin]

kaeguri, I think most of the Atlantic coast, at least through the mid Atlantic have atrocious summers with the humidity. I lived most my life in Northern Virginia and those summers were no joke. They were sometimes even worse then where I am at in Florida because of the humidity. Stay cool and hydrated!! And safe from those shark attacks.

dashook, thank you!! And what is even nicer, they are letting me move in this weekend for no extra charge!!!

Hey!

Life is great! I had my little girl on the 11th so my fiance and I are trying to adjust to life with a baby. She looks so much like him it's ridiculous!

I'm doing well. My ta-tas are sore from breastfeeding but it's worth it because my little one giggles after she eats.

This entire week is full of appointments bleh. I can't wait til the weekend when I can rest and don't have to go out. My step son is probably coming over for the weekend though so I doubt I'll actually get any resting done haha.

[bonzo2012]

ladyannibal, congratulations on your baby girl!

[ladyannibal]

Thank you!
