What what

[aggiebug]

Today is DD's 6 month appointment, I can't wait to see how much she has grown but holy heck how has it been a half a year .

The rest of the day is a made dash of getting ready for vacation. I have me, DD, the dogs and the house to get ready (maybe I shouldn't have colored during nap time yesterday ) then H will stroll in and pack himself tonight and wonder why I am still dashing around the house. Ha.

[WittyLittle]

aggiebug, time flies! Have a good appointment and good luck with the mad dash! We're also going tomorrow but to my parents' place so I luckily don't have to worry about things for DS.

No spam from here today! Just wanted to say hi

[dreemkin]

I don't even want to be walking into work right now. We had a terrible department meeting yesterday and I just don't want to see the "lead" tech today, let alone work with her. Gah, I hate work Drama Llamas!

[dreemkin]

aggiebug when you put it that way (half a year) I see it in a new light. I can't believe it! Have a good appointment. Anna's is in a few weeks. So we're right there with ya.

[aggiebug]

dreemkin boo work drama that really sucks. I hope it improves or your find a better situation.

[aggiebug]

So I think this is the third time I have gone into a Dr appointment where S has received vaccinations and left on a trip the next day. I have a flat learning curve when it comes to this lol. Thankfully she has handled them pretty well but she is usually a little more clingy and fussy the day of. Oh well!

[lotsofdotts]

aggiebug, Good luck at the appointment! I'm jealous of the vacation.

dreemkin, Ugh, work in general but drama llamas are the worst. I hope everything calms down and you don't have to deal with crazy today.

WittyLittle, Have fun at your parents. I know you have said that they can be challenging, but I hope this is a good trip.

[lotsofdotts]

Spam for today:

Brady is 5 months! I am reading about all the babies going for 6 months check-ups and realized he is one of the younger ones. Five months still freaks me out.

I should be getting ready right now, but I'm being lazy. I am heading to a huge kids consignment sale at our state fairgrounds. I'm working a vendor booth there and shopping. We really need a high chair, but I am going to look for fall and winter clothes as well. Wish me luck. These things overwhelm me considering it is in two huge warehouses.

[mands1125]

OMG HOW DO WE HAVE 6 MONTH OLDS ALREADY?!?!?!

I really just want to freeze time now. I know it only gets more and more fun so I am looking forward to those moments but I don't want her to grow up too fast!

On a side note, DH better stop with these "the next time" comments if he isn't serious. In case you all don't remember, I want another and sooner than later. DH is a fence sitter. We were talking about my c-section again last night and he said "well next time...." I just said, yep I hope I get the same OB next time because even though I never met him until the day of, he was awesome! Anyhow, we are officially going to discuss when Abby is a year and hopefully we start TTCFAS then! In the meantime, I need to make sure I am okay with being OAD too.

[mrsclark731]

lotsofdotts, DD is 5 months tomorrow! It freaks me out too. Have fun and good luck at the consignment sale! Seems like fun... I love a shopping mission!

aggiebug, have fun on vacation and I hope the shots go well!

WittyLittle, enjoy your 'time off' at your parents!

dreemkin, uncomfortable co-worker situations are the worst. I hope your day goes fast.

mands1125, I can't even think of doing this all over again yet. I'm just starting to get my body back... And my c section scar still freaks me out every time I see it. Have you put anything on yours to help with the scarring?

[michelle142]

aggiebug time flies!! It seems to be going even faster with LO #2. It's crazy.

[mands1125]

mrsclark731- Well my FUPA covers the scar so I cannot say I've exactly looked at it. LOL. I hear you on the body thing. I really just want to do a crash diet, lose like 50 pounds, hit the gym, and get my wedding body back. I feel like by the time I "get my body back", I will hopefully be KU'd again.

But next time, I am not gaining 40 pounds... I know everyone says that, but I refuse. No way, no how.

[michelle142]

So everyday on my way to work, I meet this truck coming in the opposite direction. It's a younger guy, and everyday he's wearing a really horrible fake bleach blonde wig and huge sunglasses.

I don't understand it, but it makes me giggle every time.

[aggiebug]

lotsofdotts I am counting down to Wednesday. That is when I get to leave my ILs and head to my family. Fri-Tues is making me anxious. This is definitely a trip not a real vacation

[amy2383]

We leave on vacation in 3 weeks and I am having the hardest time time finding clothes that look good on my soft pudgy tummy and monster nursing boobs.... I should also add that during the vaca we are going to a wedding of one of my H's cousins.... She is an adult film star. Never in my life did I think I would type that! We are pretty conservative people so I am interested to see how that days goes!

I've been dieting like a crazy woman. Still eating some of the bad things I love (pizza, Amish breakfast, and ice cream sandwiches) but in moderation and NO snacking whatsoever.  

I know everyone says it--but I'm never gaining 80 lbs EVER EVER EVER again. It's been hell getting it off and I'm not done yet. I still have at least 20 to go. So I feel you.... Never again!

I've been seeing more and more of my scar with the weight loss and it looks nasty. I need to be putting some vitamin e on it or something. I'm off to google

[mrsclark731]

Whoops! Double post 

[mands1125]

mrsclark731, I just need to make some small changes for now. I am still BFing (for now) so I am like a hungry monster all the time. I need to stop eating fried foods, stop snacking, stop eating dessert, etc. I think those small changes will make a big difference and not effect milk supply. And also start doing this 1 hour walk with DD that I claim I want to start doing every night. The problem is how hot it has been. Soooo hard to get motivation.

[lilyelayne]

I can't get over the 6 months old babies either. Half a year, wow! lotsofdotts DS won't be 6 months til September, but I feel like it's coming so fast!
dreemkin sorry about your drama llama. Loathe work drama.
aggiebug GL with the dr appt!

Umm I can't wait to hear a detailed report of the wedding. It sounds like it could be interesting. And sympathies for the clothes dilemma, I am so over nursing boobs and finding clothes to accommodate nursing it's enough of a pita as it is.

[mommadozer]

Just wanted to say hi to everyone. I have kinda disappeared lately.

[emilyz320]

Wow I can't believe there are some 6mo babies. DD is 5mo next week. 6mo seems so big. Time is flying. My spam for today is that my iphone is officially dead! It has been having trouble charging for the past few weeks but I have been putting it off and putting it off. Of course nothing is backed up to the cloud so there goes all of my photos and videos of DD. I'm so mad at myself. Going to the mall today to hopefully get it fixed or get a new phone if I have to.

Thanks! We mainly did it to try and give them more time with Jake. They tend to come over for a few hours once a month but never spend quality time with him, so they're really excited to see him luckily
Mom's started it well: "please bring all the baby stuff for us to drive to your sister's place". Uhm no... Jake's only 6 months so we're still using most of it. I told you three times that we can't give you the stuff until Decemberish. She just expects us to go without. I have the feeling a lot of patience will be required.  

[amy2383]

aggiebug I will make sure to take lots of pictures! I can only imagine what the bride will wear.

[dmorgendorffer]

aggiebug Good Luck with the Dr. appt and the shots today!

I have a full day workshop at work today. This is the third one in a series, last time they ended up giving us about a 5 minute lunch break and a second 10 minute break mid-afternoon, which does not work for my needing to pump so I ended up just walking out twice. We'll see how it goes today. I hate workshops where they don't let you use your laptop, how am I supposed to distract myself?

[mrsclark731]

mands1125, admittedly.. I didn't really start to drop weight quickly until she started to refuse my boobs. I was hungry all the time and found it hard to just eat a yogurt for lunch, which I do now. Cutting out the small things like you mentioned will make a big difference. I stopped buying snacks and 'easy' food at the store... Only ingredients so it was harder to cheat and eat bad things. Will power once at the store is easier than will power 500 times every time I open the pantry. Now that she is napping in her crib I can finally start this thing called exercise

[lilyelayne]

mommadozer hiiii
emilyz320 oh no! So sorry about all your pics

[emilyz320]

I really hope they can recover them too. Luckily I do have some on FB and on my computer, so not all is lost. I also do groovebook so I have some paper copies too. I am more mad about the videos. I'm already forgetting DD's little newborn mannerisms. Tear.

You ladies are inspiring me to get going on my weight loss. I was so good right when I got cleared for exercise - I started doing videos and going walking. But then I went back to work and didn't pick it up again when summer started. Would anyone want to do a healthy eating/working out check-in?
