Interesting! I'm surprised by #13. I got a bottle of it once and it wasn't anything spectacular. It was $7 for one 12oz bottle and I was disappointed. It basically tastes like you put a shot of whiskey in a stout. Founders Breakfast Stout is way better. I am proud that 2 beers from a Brewer in my area are on the list.
A lot of stouts here... Mmmmm... I'm actually kind of surprised at the list. It seems like most are either a citrusy/fruity beer or a stout. I didn't see any lagers or many traditional ales. A lot of sweetness which is right up my alley, but I doubt my H would like many on this list.

I'm about to head to the gym. Taking DS1 with me. We might head to the pumpkin patch today and i think having pizza tonight. I need to meal plan and grocery shop too.

I was going to be lazy and watch TV all day with the babe but my mom just called and said that she wants to come see the new place and bring me something this afternoon. Boo, this means I have to clean up.

I wrote down all the dark beers on this list and skipped the rest. I was kind of surprised too but with all the far stuff I figure I have plenty to try and find
I am getting jealous of seeing Canadians' mentions of Thanksgiving Day plans and prep! I've only done Thanksgiving in England a couple times because there's usually a lot going on (it's Birthday Month for our family). I'm a little sad we won't be back in Canada in time for it, but I'm also super excited to do it next year in Canada with babies who eat real food and not just boob juice!
The twins have suddenly turned into huge day-time nappers. I don't know what happened, but I'm loving it the peace and quiet for a change!
Gym, library, goodwill for Halloween costume stuff for me, nap, fall festival, leave DD1 with in-laws, leave DD2 with my mom, birthday celebration with friends.
Tomorrow: likely recovering from Saturday, grocery shopping, cleaning
Early start . DH is working all weekend so I'm on my own. Should be interesting since Little Bones is going through a I'm not listening to you phase and everything is a freaking fight now. I would like to take to the park but I'm not confident in my ability to handle 2 out of the house especially since DS is being a bit of a challenge.
In other news, I want to make muffins but have no eggs. Does anyone know of any substitutions I can use?
Haven't finished the thread yet; but, one tablespoon of mayonnaise = one egg
It sounds super gross but I promise you can't taste it.

Mil keeps calling A "bitsy" and it's driving me up the fucking wall. It was just annoying me at first,and now is reminding me how small she is compared to where she should be at 5 months.
Current favorite comeback to "we should have thought about daycare issues before we had her early": you know, you're right. I should have thought about it. It was just so distracting being in the hospital, being prepped for emergency surgery without my husband, knowing there was a decent chance I could hemorrhage and another decent chance that I could stroke out and one or both of us could have died. I really SHOULD have been thinking about how the optional early birth at 28 weeks would affect our daycare options.
@amichelle I'm dairy free as well. The almond milk is actually pretty decent as a substitute in most things, but I can't drink it straight up. I miss cereal and ice cream...
I can't drink it straight either, but of all the milk alternatives I do like almond milk the best. I'm not a fan of rice or coconut milk, and haven't had a chance to try cashew milk yet. I actually like soy milk the best, but we're avoiding soy so that's out. Have you tried So Delicious coconut milk ice cream? It's a really good substitute. Also the Almond Dream brand made with almond milk is good too. I was dairy and soy free with DD1 for 9 months and what I definitely missed the most was cheese. There is just no good substitute for cheese. Pizza was the one thing I missed more than anything else.
Am I safe to assume you've tried daiya for a cheese substitute?

Last weekend of maternity leave :-(
So we're going to a family fall festival today. It will be just me & Liam since hubster is working today. We both got dressed up for it (I'm actually wearing make-up and he's wearing pants & socks instead of just his usual onesie). He looks so handsome! He spent the morning cooing at himself in the mirror.
runningmommy519 yep. At first I thought it was OK, but after a few days I couldn't stand it. I think it may be OK if it's not the main component of the dish, like if you added the shredded kind to something. I was trying to eat it on crackers or make nachos with it and I definitely didn't like it in that quantity.
Yeah it doesn't really melt.
My sister is vegan and I'm vegetarian. So I eat a lot of vegan food when she's around.
motownthrowdown how silly of you to not immediately think of daycare.... Do they not get you would have given anything for her to not be born at 28 weeks?? Andplusalso, they should be hella thankful you're both alive and well like you said. Sheesh... In-laws get a big middle finger from me this weekend.

Woke up with pink eye but didn't realize it until I had been taking care of O for 3 hours.
He slept for 4 hour stretches last night which was great for how fussy the shots made him.
Just cleaning the house today because it desperately needs it. No opportunity to go outside because it is raining again. They have evacuated so many people already I'm nervous to see what another inch or two will do.
We got our birth announcements today (post picture later). 2 of the pictures turned out super dark (couldn't tell on my computer )but they're still cute. I'm addressing envelopes today. I'm really excited to send them to everyone
My mom is beside herself after learning about Auri's tongue tie and lip tie. She feels so terrible because she never heard of it and it's pretty clear I had it. She's ticked that they didn't do anything or look for it in the 80s. I. I guess it was referenced on Call the Midwife and she texted me again about how upset she is that she didn't know about it. Talk about Mommy Guilt! I'm almost 30 and doing just fine Mom!

The drive to our ILs is a 2 hour drive. We've been in the car for 2 1/2 hours and we're still an hour away, traffic is horrible!! The ILs keep texting us to know our ETA & it's getting annoying. My right boob is leaking and I left my nursing pads at home so I have Dunkin donuts napkins shoved in my bra. It's quite the trip so far!
I contemplated taking all 3 kids to the grocery store by myself while dh worked today. Then I remembered ds1 is leaking snot everywhere and is miserable. I'll just go by myself tonight.

Whoever said wubbanub for a paci that stays in, I love you. And so does E. She was fussing last night so I decided to try it again, and she finally took it. Calmed right down, wrapped her little fingers around the penguin, and smiled at me. Yaaaay!!!!
This pleases me, cuz I totally ordered one after seeing that same suggestion.
Went to a potluck picnic this morning. It was the culminating event for International Babywearing Week for my local BWI chapter. I won a wrap scrap pacifier clip and key chain. The key chain will come in handy, but A still won't take a paci.
Plans for the rest of today and tomorrow are to try to get A to nap in her crib and to try to extend her naps over 30 minutes. So far she went down for 30 minutes and when I went to bounce her to keep her asleep she started rooting on my arm. *sigh*
