cloe111479 lol the snacks are so true. I remember my mom making cookies and popcorn before a bad storm because eating solves everything right? Speaking of popcorn I could make that in a gas stove yesss.
lilyelayne it's normal to worry so don't feel bad,but you are right diarrhea happens. We are on day 4 here (i think it's improving today cross our fingers) and I am fretting a bit,but I know everything else is ok at the moment so I am trying to wait it out. I don't even see teeth as a culprit!
Hope all the sickies feel better quickly and the storm isn't too bad for all of you ladies! We are forcasted for a bit of rain but that's all that's expected here.
I got to see my friends new baby this morning for a quick visit! Oh my gosh if that doesn't give you baby fever I don't know what does! Sooooo sweet… not too much planned for the rest of the day, just dinner at my sisters place tonight.
I bought a big bag of trail mix to keep at school for a pumping snack. I tried the Walmart brand "Chocolatey peanut butter" mix, and it is sooooooo salty. So I've been picking out the M&Ms, peanut butter pieces and the Butterfingers and just eating those. Yeah, I'm totally gonna win the DietBet…
Yeah…today I have had half a donut, a Milano cookie and a candy bar. But I had a salad for lunch! I think I'll get really serious on Saturday. But, we only have to lose 3% this round…and there's plenty of time still….right?

Hey to everyone from yesterday's spam wondering about my wedding planning! Everything is going good except there's a hurricane watch lol. Can't believe it's in two days! I will AW pics afterwards

Thinking about everyone dealing with the storm. I hope that it is mild!
Last night was equally as bad as the prior night. Added on top of my car having to go to the mechanics this morning equals me not going in to work. Which really stinks.
But on the train ride home from the mechanics, V laughed the whole time. How can life not be awesome with a smiling and giggling child?
The hurricane is giving me anxiety, and I'm obviously not anywhere near it. T&Ps to all you ladies who may be in its path.
Also remember to have back up plans for any baby-related electric stuff. For instance I rely on the nightlight in DS's room for MOTN wake ups, and his white noise machine has a battery option. Also ice or dry ice for ladies with a breastmilk freezer stash.
danitaec GL at the appointment! WittyLittle can you get an engineer or mathematician to translate for you? As someone with a degree in math (actually in pure/abstract math), that stuff can be impossible to follow. mrsclark731 feel better soon!
I just have to AW myself here, because I (for once) feel like I am killing this SAHM/SAHW thing!
I had a physio appt this morning for my diastasis recti and even though I have been slacking on the exercises the pt said things are looking excellent, and I only need to come back one more time! My appointment was on the bottom floor of the hospital so I dropped off the receiving blankets I made yesterday and had some newborn snuggles!
I got appointments made to have my car under oiled tomorrow, new winter tires put on the truck next week, and the flooring guy to come out to quote us for hardwood in our living room reno. DD is napping, and I am chilling enjoying a bowl of roasted cauliflower soup I made to get myself on track for dietbet!
Oh and I bought a swifter sweeper this morning and just ran it over the floors in the whole house. Can I just say that thing is a LIFE CHANGER. How have I not owned one until now!?
mishka29 the reason I got the iPhone again is because I didn't want to learn android tech. Grumpy old fogie here. The Live Photos are like a 4sec picture movie. So you snap a pic and when you use 3D Touch (I had to google that too) it plays.
When I first saw a commercial for this, I turned to DH and said, "Look, babe, wizard photos!" He put an L on my forehead.

Today DS and I went with my mom when she got a haircut and then to breakfast. Yesterday she went with my to get DS's pics taken (slackers here- we haven't gotten professional ones since he was 4months, my mom was appalled, oh well). After spending the last 2 days with her I think she's doing ok/better since my brother died, I am just hoping that she really is ok and it's not just a 'show' (well, maybe it is a show because how can you be ok after that but I just hope she is taking case of herself) .
We also went to Michaels and got some fall/Halloween decorations. I am debating on running to the dollar store too to see if they have any fun decorations as well.
Today is the opening day of bow season so DH is hunting after work so he won't be home until late, that's pretty much how the whole next month or two are going to go. Since he can't go in the mornings during the week because of his new job and his weekend mornings are limited because I work this weekend and am having eye surgery next week (I told him I don't think he can hunt the mornings right after my surgery because I won't be able to be alone with DS at that point because I will have a weight limit on what I can lift), so hes going to be hunting all evenings that I am not working- gonna have a lot of the me and baby time these next few weeks.
greenpony33 if you are a Slacker I don't know what I am. We have zero professional photos of DD and if you don't count the gift we gave my mom this summer we haven't paid for a photographer since we got married.

Glad we're not alone then. My mom was so worried and concerned that we didn't do (or plan to do) 3/6/9/12 for pics, because 'that's what you're supposed to do'. I figured I have a ton on my phone (which in turn means I have to get them off my phone, what has everyone else done about that?!). I would love to get professional pics done more, but it's expensive! And then time got away from us too. We will probably do a Christmas pic and then 1 yr. Or at least that's the plan as of now lol
kartish glad LO helped brighten your day! FX you have a good night tonight badw0lf I read an article today that fbook plans to allow short, looping videos as profile pics, but not gifs. I assume they mean iPhone Live Photos (which my iPhone helpfully auto capitalized for me lol) greenpony33 glad your mom is moving forward. Hard to be okay but moving forward tends to be good. Also we wouldn't have any professional pics of DS had the sessions not been gifted to us. Probably would eventually, but certainly not every 3 months! Nosy, but have you said what kind of eye surgery you're having? Most of my career was in ophthalmology so interested :-)

Photographer babies may get that many photo shoots. Lol. We received a gift card for photos that I will use for Christmas cards or 1 yrs but that is it. I doubt we do both. I am thinking there will be good post Christmas deals so I will likely do birthday pictures
Speaking of Christmas pics, I think Santa pics are incredibly creepy and will probably push back if any extended family wants G to take them. Hey, is that a UO?!

Easter bunny pictures are creepy as heck. I think Santa pictures can be so funny/ cute however I totally get and appreciate why many kids are terrified so I won't ever push it.

10:24 and I've finally finished this stupid mathy paper. Yuck. I feel dirty. We are off on a cool bungalow park retreat for the weekend, leaving early tomorrow morning. They have a tropical swimming dome and lots of activities and sports and wellness areas, etc. SO AWESOME! I love this place. My pregnant sister + BIL + nephew are coming, as well as my parents also. it should be lots of fun! Perfect way to end a work-intensive week! DH has to work until 3am and we need to leave around 10 so hopefully he managed to get up ok
Boss is playing borderlands the presequal in his office. I think I'm going to take a nap right now... if he's still playing by the time I wake up, I'll go join him with my spanking new controller.
greenpony33 I also haven't had any professional pictures taken.
For pictures off my phone, I installed the shutterfly app and upload them there every so often. I'm now waiting for a good sale to get some more printed.
greenpony33 we have not had professional photos done. We scheduled newborn ones but I was such a mess postpartum that we cancelled. Then we haven't had the extra money. My sister and nicks cousin have taken some that look professional. I am hoping to get 1yr photos done. As for photos on my phone, I use the groovebook app. For $2 or $3, I forget which one, you get 100 photos from your phone sent to you each month. You can send them to friends and family too so we send one to the ils each month. Not the best quality, but it's nice to have them,

lilyelayneaggiebugbadw0lf Santa and Easter Bunny pics can go either way, but I personally prefer portrait or family photos over any with a character.
@greenpony33 I have a Google account, so I downloaded the Google pictures app on my phone. I have it set to automatically back up when I'm on a Wifi network, then when I'm on my computer I can download the files to save onto my external hard drive. An account holds 15 gigs for free before you either have to do some cleaning or buy more storage. (I'm cheap, so I just delete from Google pics once I've finished that year’s photo album and made sure they're backed up on my harddrive.)

Thanks for the suggestions about pics off phones, I have the snapfish app where you also get 100 pics a month (and pay shipping so it's like $9), but the quality of those pics was kinda bad. I usually haven't had a problem with snapfish so maybe it's just because they're done quickly, I'll have to check out the other ones.
I don't mind the Santa pics, but the Eater Bunny ones are creepy, and really don't make any since to me. My mom tried to get me to take E this Easter and I told her no.
lilyelayne I have a droopy Left eye lid that I am getting fixed next week. It has gotten worse over the years and they can't find any reason why, just that the muscle is weakening. So they are going to go and tighten the muscle in my eye lid. It sounds like an ok procedure except, I am not supposed to lift over 15 lbs while I have the stich in the eye lid (about 1 week). I talked to the dr about the restriction since E was already 19lbs at his appt in Aug. Thankfully he didn't have a problem saying I could lift him if needex, but stressed the importance of not bending at the waist. (I also can't wear contacts or eye makeup for 3 weeks, which isn't horrible but my eyelashes as sooo blonde I think I look weird with out mascara).

FlutterOfYoshis a Google account as in Google+ or something else? That is what I would like, a way to get them off my phone onto the computer so then I could edit or what not (not that'd I'd ever get to editing them all but it sounds good ?).

I didn't like it as much as borderlands2. But that doesn't sound like a bad way to spend an afternoon at work!
