So apparently my eyesight has improved so much I needed new glasses to lessen my prescription! I've never had that result since getting my first pair of glasses back in grade 7! Exciting! I'll get them in next week sometime!
I wore LO in the ergo while we were out today and she loved it! I also got her parsnips at Trader Joes. I have never in my life had a parsnip, but the wholesome baby food website says they're great for babies, so...
I just wanted to come here and give a props to all the awesome dads out there. I work near a children's museum and just saw a dad with a toddler and infant in a car seat, rocking out a day at the museum solo-parent style. Then 15 minutes later I saw another dad headed toward the cafe with his two little ones in tow. I'm especially sensitive to it today because DH is currently with both mine, took them to Target to get DS1 new shoes and is taking them both to the doc this afternoon to get LO checked out. So happy to have such an awesome DH. AW over
I get where you're coming from, but this is one of my (and my husband's for that matter) pet peeves. Congratulating dads on doing basic parenting shit is super annoying to me.
DH takes LO to the grocery store and gets a thousand pats on the back from everyone and I take her and all I get is some little old lady telling me she needs socks or that she shouldn't be sucking her thumb.
One of DH's guy friends called me "supermom" once and I will NEVER forget it. It made me feel amazing. I shouldn't have singled out just dads but today that's where my mind was because my DH was being helpful and I feel lucky. But you're right, every parent should be an involved parent. That's why it's so refreshing to see more and more dads out there doing what they are SUPPOSED to be doing!
I am in charge of my offices social committee for the 2016 calendar year...dear lord pray for me please. Planning events for 200 people onces a month..
Currently trying to figure out the welcome back breakfast for Monday..
I wanna know who can make it to the grocery store and back with an infant and an entire weeks worth of grocery shopping THEN make it back home and pee on a stick all with 24 minutes.
Didn't know there was grocery shopping involved, sorry...

SomenI haven't seen in years and some their first time meeting SO so was super good times!
M got this toy for Christmas and holy cow what a lifesaver! She has been sitting in her high chair for 30 minutes playing with it. No crying or whining. It's magical.

Need to buy that bee now.
We had our 3rd physical therapist come yesterday because previous 2 had scheduling conflicts and never worked out.
I was convinced he'd say M doesn't need PT since his torticollis is pretty much gone, and the flattening of his head much better, but said there's still some muscle tightness in one side. He also said he should be able to move his arms out from under him when he rolls in a more fluid motion. And his legs are too tight. I'm pretty bummed but trying to keep in mind all babies have their own timeline and pace for things.
Everyone here aside... Are you patient enough to wait until tomorrow morning, just to know for yourself (and hubby?)??
I waited almost three years for a positive test. It was at a Doctor's office because I destroyed my knee. My friend had taken me and would know if I was or not because of going/not going to the pharmacy for meds. So I had to call hubby on the phone so he could know first. Trust me if I finally get to tell him one of the ways I always planned then I'll wait a little longer ?
I like that! I hope you get to do it your way next time, whether it ends up being sooner or later.

@badwolf321 what are some of the ways you'd like to tell YH if you are? Just curious. I've always had ideas on how to tell DH but was never patient enough...
I scared LO tonight, too, @bubbs119. She was making noises and I mimicked them, including volume, and she just looked at me and her little lip started quivering and then it was a full-on wail! Oops!

His birthday is coming up. I don't really wanna stick a pee stick in a box but ya know wth? ☺️
I'd love to do something like that but I can't even keep small secrets! Best of luck, and really of course you should go about things however you want! We're just excitement whores.

MIL got my big kids at 10:30 this morning. I hung out At my parents' house while the horse shoer was there, ate some leftovers, drank eggnog, and brushed my horse. Brought T home, watered chickens, turned on HP1, put a pork roast in the oven, and we are chilling. Good times.
Also, jealous of all you who can actually wait long enough to POAS and surprise your SO. I start barfing before AF is a week late. I've only ever POAS once!

My DH wouldn't get it lol with DS I tested without telling him and hollered from the bathroom "uhm...dear...I have some interesting news to tell you" walked out shaking with the pee stick and he's like..."what's that mean"

So I just spent the last 2 hours of my life confused AS FUCK because apparently somehow at some point today my phone switched to the timezone one hour later than mine, and since I have been back and forth between the kitchen cooking (using the microwave clock) and the bedroom rocking the baby (using my phone) I've been looking at both. I didn't really notice, just thought time was seemingly going reaaalllly fast (or slow) alternately, and baby's bedtime is really screwy still from holidays so she's sleeping on and off all evening and I can't keep track of the hours.. then suddenly SO says out loud "Its 7:15" and Im like "no, its 8:15" WTF. Too much coquito?!? Jeezus.
Alright well since kids are already asleep for the night and mh is at a hockey game, I just put the fire place on, poured myself a glass of wine and will now binge watch something on Netflix. Thinking I might check out that murder documentary since I keep hearing about it everywhere.
We've been watching it. At first, I was meh about it, but it's gotten really good. It's hard not to google stuff about him, but I don't want to know before I get to it in the show.
