Rando Wednesday

[scarlettpanda]

My mom is trying to convince me to do a sex reveal cake for this baby, so that she would be the only one who knows what it is until that day. 10 days after the ultrasound.

I thought she was joking and laughed in her face.

She was not. Not happening, mother.

And I just found out I can buy espresso k cups on the internet. My life just got way better.

Espresso has more to it than just the beans I think.  It's also the pressure as which the grounds are brewed.  That is why espresso machines =/= coffee machines.

I think.

This is probably true. I was looking at investing in an espresso machine. I spend an embarrassing amount of money at Starbucks weekly to drink espresso. Regular coffee doesn't cut it anymore. But first I decided to see how an espresso k-cup would do before investing in another machine.

This is awesome. I hope Emma Watson does as good of a job as the Belle in this video.

It's chilly and windy here right now - it's cold at night and highs are only in the 60s this week.

That's end of spring early summer weather!

I was thinking "And..."

I had a dream the other night that H cheated on me with my dead grandmother. lol She wasn't dead in the dream and was in her 60s at the time. That's what I get for watching Golden Girls with H.

This is amazing!

I dropped DS off at daycare this morning and he was in a fine mood. But then when I got to the front door of the center, he came running out of his classroom yelling for me. He said he just wanted to have a stay home and cuddle day. He just wanted me to hold him. Luckily the infant teacher asked him to help her in her room for a while and that interested him enough to let me leave. DS and DH were in a nasty car accident this weekend (miraculously, neither was injured) so I was so tempted to take him home and cuddle all day.

False. The cervical checks were awful!

Maybe I just have a giant vagina? I don't recall them being terrible.  Then again, I really only had a few before I was put on bedrest and then induced.

I only had a couple. It felt like he was opening tongs up there. I was like DUDE WHY IS THAT SO PAINFUL? And then he was all "gurl, I don't know".

I should probably save this for tomorrow.

But whenever someone does some huge, dramatic reveal. Like a party. Or a cake. I want to be like:

Uh. They are supposed to check it, not stretch it.

After eating his eggs and banana the toddler said: I want toast!

Me: With Peanut Butter?

Him: No.

Me: So plain toast, no peanut butter?

Him: No, no plain toast. REGULAR toast.

Me: Regular toast?

Him: REGULAR TOAST WITH PEANUT BUTTER!

Okay, child. Good thing I got right on that because he has eaten about 1/4 of the piece of toast.

I love my Nespresso machine. We were willing to get a more expensive one because this was long before kids, but everything we researched pointed to a Nespresso. It's about 70 cents per capsule, so way cheaper than Starbucks.

I felt this way until a friend had a party/balloon release and it was pretty fun, but I was also pretty drunk so there's that. Also free food.

This is actually what prompted the purchase of my Nespresso.  I was going to Sbux daily spending $4ish and that shit adds up so quick.

Are dolce gusto coffee machines a thing there?

Is 11 months too early to only do one nap? I cannot remember when DS1 started napping only once a day.... Sorry!

DD went to one daytime nap when she started DC at 11 mos. But she only slept 45 mins, so we'd do a 30 min nap when we got home so she could eat dinner, etc and not be a terror. Once she started sleeping longer (naptime is 11:30-2:00, but she does max 2 hrs), we dropped the evening nap and moved bedtime up about half an hour. On wkds, she goes down for nap about 3-3 1/2 hrs after she gets up, sleeps 2 hrs, then bedtime routine (bath, etc) starts about 7.

I'm too terrified of the ass jiggle to wear leggings.

negatory... just make sure that whatever top you are wearing is long enough to cover up the ass/camel toe.  This should be a requirement of leggings anyway, regardless of level of ass jiggle.

Agree.  I'm plus size and was afraid of the legging until I came here and was given some moral support.  I have now entered a whole new world of outfit options and comfort.  I just make sure to follow the rule about wearing a long enough top and have had no side eyes.

lol so this just reminded me of a convo I was having with two drunk chicks while we were all waiting in for the bathroom before Newsies.  They were behind me and kept being like "YOU CAN GO IN FRONT OF ME BECAUSE YOU ARE PREGNANT"... but... they were serious.  But I was ahead of them anyway, so I just kind of lol'd at them.  And then the one chick goes "do you find that no one gives a shit you are pregnant?  Like you go somewhere and you expect someone to make some sort of polite gesture and offer you a seat.  BUT THEY DON'T GIVE A FUCK".  I seriously thought she was hilarious.  And I wanted to ask her if she ever posted on TB.

90% of people DGAF if I am pregnant.

When I was pregnant with Kenz, we were shopping at the commissary. The baggers work for free but you are supposed to tip them. I had forgotten cash and I had no money. So I told this lady " I am so sorry, I have no change." And she was like "Okay, you take your bags." And walked away.

ETA: I was horrified because I was 25 and it was my first kid so EVERYTHING IS ABOUT ME. 

[ShtsNGiggles]

My sister and i were pregnant with our second kids at the same time. She convinced me to do a joint gender reveal. DH didn't even come to the party because it was dumb. I knew the sex for almost a month and had told both of my parents before the party. So pretty much my sister wasted a bunch of money on a blue cake just for her and our extended relatives to find out.

I think that sounds a lot like our summer last year

why do I live here? oh yeah, beer and cheese

[mack]

I guess I would just never expect people to take 2 hours out of their weekend so they can come and slice open a cake. I could have just told them in 2 seconds.

She literally said to me, "I thought it'd be really fun if I was the first to know."

I literally texted back, "you serious, bro?"

Literally.

Truth.  Cervix checks aren't painful at all but GDI if it doesn't hurt like a mother fucker to get a membrane sweep.

False. The cervical checks were awful!

Not feeling the cervix checks was the best unexpected benefit of having an epidural.

I actually smacked my doctor on the arm when he stripped my membranes and said, "Motherfucker, that hurt!" He laughed and told me how he was just preparing me for the pain of childbirth. I smacked him again after that comment.

I love my Nespresso too. I've found the Ristretto capsules to be my favorite. I used to get Arpeggio, but now they're too weak.

I use 3 capsules, a cup of milk and a Tblsp and and half of sugar (syrup was a PITA to keep stocked) for my iced latte URRY morning.

I have new pants on today and didn't realize that they don't have pockets. This bothers me more than it should.

Today I have to spend the entire day training my maternity leave sub. This is going to be painful. Lucky for her I just took a dump so I shouldn't kill her with my fumes.

Ugh! Planning for maternity leave and training subs stresses me out. The coverage plan was just decided for my leave. There will be 6 separate people handling different portions of my job. Hopefully that means things will go smoother since they will just be adding a few tasks to their workload instead of one person trying to learn all the details of everything.

Good luck with training your sub!
