We followed our annual tradition of seeing a local Christmas train exhibit. DD2 loved it. DD1 was ambivalent. H and I have probably seen it enough at this point. Maybe a new tradition needs to start.
My parents brought their gifts over. The girls seem happy. I got cash for foldable ballet flats. I want Tieks but I didn't get that much cash. Any suggestions for cheaper options?
My SIL just hard core tried to parent my kid. Hold my earrings.
My mom was doing that earlier. She meant well, but I snapped. Had to call later to apologize for my rudeness.
She brought the kids a gift that DS1 had asked for, but which is against the rules of our house. So I have been the meanest mommy ever all week and now SIL swoops in and gives him the thing I told him he couldn't have (that's not really her fault, she meant well and it was sweet of her to bring them gifts at all). But then she is creating and enforcing rules with my kids, in my house, and doling out consequences for breaking those rules. Like.....who thinks that's ok?

Oof. Hope you guys get that sorted. That's not OK.

They don't have kids yet but she is due in February. Payback is a bitch. She just doesn't get it.
I looked at my body naked in the mirror and holy veins batman! I love these subtle symptoms that don't make me feel sick but still help me believe I really do have someone cooking in there. :-)
Visible boob veins were my first symptom, if you can call it that. Every day I check to make sure they're still there, lol.

I feel like the bloat is real and pushing the fat outward and I look 20 lbs heavier but not pregnant.

I have Lucky flats that were about fifty bucks. I really like them.

Lovetit for commiseration. No way in hell to be showing and yet my bloaty tummy fat is all really obvious, at least to me.

For those worried about bloat, I've found standing with proper pelvic and spinal alignment really flattens the abs (and bonus if you keep your alignment as you progress in pregnancy it'll help prevent your abs from permanently separating - trust me when I say diastasis is no fun).
dc2london I got pho yesterday and thought of how you love pho too...then I remembered how you live in DC. Do you ever go to Pho Viet in Columbia Heights? We used to live in Silver Spring and loved Pho Viet. Now I want pho again...

I live two buildings over from the best pho place my small town has to offer. When the breeze is just right, I can smell it from my place. Yum! I find it strange I haven't wanted it yet this pregnancy, it is a typical winter/comfort food for me.

DS is on Augmentin for a bad double ear infection and holy antibiotic poops. I almost lost my cookies this morning. I'm not sure how those of you that have done 2u2 already have done it. I'm only 6 weeks in and second day of real symptoms. My daughter was almost 2 years potty trained by the time ds showed up.
And the dreams... I have had dreams all night long for the past two nights.

My bloat is bad enough that my mom said I look pregnant in a NYE photo. Just bloat but it's ridiculous. I got asked when I was due at 13w last time, it will be 10w at this rate.
I went to motherhood maternity to buy preggy pops and the person recognized me from when she flipped out at me last week when I asked about pants. They gave me a little goody bag with a bottle and coupons in it. Came with those gift cards someone here has been posting about for carrier cover, breastfeeding cover and what not. Showed SO when I got home.
NariaDreaming, I had one of those a few nights ago, it was awful. Mine was so vivid with color, I woke up horrified and unsettled. Hormones, I tell ya!

I went to Yoga today. We always start with slow and then fast sun salutations. I almost puked during. I plan on doing the regular class well into 2nd tri but I hope I wont have this problem!
