@jemomma, frozen ravioli or tortillini and a bagged salad and garlic bread?

[Deleted]

@babybean9,lots of love to your family. I hope they are going to be ok.

@hazeldublin, no heat is no good. That happened to me once when I lived in Montana. I woke up and I could see my breath.

So P got up at 2:30 and did his middle of the night scream. He ended up in bed with me at 3:00 and was there the rest of the night which means I was pretty much awake from then on since I can't sleep when he's there. I need an IV drip for my caffeine. And a long long nap.

[periwinkledaydreams]

LO made it through the night with no reaction from her vaccines this time.. if anything they just made her a lil extra sleepy and a bit sore, motrin did the trick and she slept better than normal! Much better than the 4 month puke fest. Now she's up and her usual loud ass chatty self.. lots of DADADA and GUAGUAGUA around here lately. Anyone else LO scream with glee at such a decibel that it just about pierces your eardrums?! I can't complain, I mean she's happy, but its SO DANG LOUD!

We're splitting a banana and cereal for breakfast and I'm pouring my second cup of coffee.

I'm going to a sex toy party tonight! I'm super broke right now so can't splurge on anything grande, recommendations on fun partner products that won't break the bank?

Sex talk before noon.. yall can count on me

@jemomma, I made this baked pasta before and it turned out awesome. www.taylormadebytaylorbee.com/2013/02/light-pasta-bake-with-chicken-sausage.html?m=1

[tiffbot]

@jemomma I'd be all over making chili, but to think of other ideas maybe soup or premake a pizza?

[erbear]

@jemomma, I'd go with a baked pasta, then. Ziti is usually palatable to 3 year olds!

[shahoi]

@babybean9 lot's of prayers being sent to you and your family. I'm so glad things didn't turn out worse and hope they are well soon.

@jemomma how about potato soup or chicken and noddles? You could even do those frozen egg noodles that are super easy and still delicious.

O slept until 8:30 yesterday and today. We are all getting ready to go eat breakfast at our favorite place. I haven't had one single cup of coffee yet, so I'm ready! Tonight DH has baby duty and I'm going to dinner and to see "Sisters" with some girlfriends. This will be the first time that DH will be doing bedtime on his own. Please wish us luck!!

Hope everyone has a great day!

@jemomma you could make a homemade pizza pocket/hot pocket; Those freeze pretty well.

tiffbot I was thinking the same thing when I looked at the weather this morning! It is still cold, but next week looks decent again! Only 3 more months of this!!
michyme123 You said you were East of me, if you want to answer, how far East?
We also have a birthday today. My mom is 63 so some family is coming from the city for lunch and cake! I am happy about the cake, not happy about lugging B around in this crap though!

I got up at 6, played with DB, and then went on a donut and coffee run. Now DB is down for a nap and its DH's turn when he wakes up. So I'm snuggling back into bed with a donut and TCF, looking forward to a looong nap.

This would be me after donuts and coffee.




No way in hell I could nap.

@babybean9 I'm so sorry. Thank god they are still alive. Thoughts and prayers those little ones recover quickly

@littlechivette I need your dad to make me stuff. I feel like my dad is the only dad in the world who doesn't make things or do house fixing stuff... Not that he lives close enough to do that stuff for me anyway I guess.

My dad was never a handy man either. My pap took care of all of that.

I stared at this entirely too long trying to figure out what the heck area you were abbreviating to DM. As per the theme of the thread, I need more coffee.

[mrsmonogrammed]

You guise. I pumped FIVE ounces at work this morning! My usual max is 4 in the morning and that's few and far between. Apparently DDs seeming cluster nursing yesterday gave me a boost in supply?

[fatmilkisdelish]

My hubs took the baby to the store without me for the first time so that I could get cleaning done around the house. (like 8 of his work peeps are coming over tonight)…he's been gone for like 30 min and I haven't done anything yet. Just relishing a house without a baby! I love her to death but oh my god I am never without her. This is weird and exhilarating.

[fatmilkisdelish]

@bubbs119 so cute!!!

I have a feeling both of my grandpas would have been that way...but one died before I was born and the other when I was 7....though both lived far from where I live now too. I need to troll Home Depot for bored old men...guessing that could turn out badly though.

[carolyngrace]

I just napped for three hours and now I'm up eating donuts again because LO is napping! It's a good Saturday indeed.

[carolyngrace]

@littlechivette, What gorgeous woodwork! I'm so jealous of the baby gate!

periwinkledaydreams, If you don't have one, get one of the tiny bullet vibrators connected to a remote. The tiniest one you can find. And use it during missionary-style sex on your clit. That's my faaaavorite. They're not too expensive, but more than say, a cream.

[gigi3126]

babybean that sounds so scary. I'm glad they're okay.

periwinkledaydreams it's been awhile since I went to one of those, but I always liked to get the pheromone spray and that cream that you can put on yourself or him...it's kind of tingly and pleasant.
ETA- or one of those stretchy cock rings that have a little bullet attached!

I finally claimed an hour for myself this morning and went to get a massage. It was lovely. Now we're heading out to BBB to look at convertible seats. Play date tomorrow!

[carolyngrace]

@poppyc8, I saved the coffee until after the nap!

@babybean9 I'm so sorry, how scary! I pray they heal up quickly!

[kemdupuis]

@babybean9 so awful! I am thankful they are ok. Sending you big hugs!

@hazeldublin- I hope your heat gets fixed soo ! That sounds terrible.

Our 4 giant boxes of Christmas presents (we had to ship everything home from VT) arrived yesterday, so I've spent the morning playing with B and putting things away. I am hoping I can get B down for a nap soon- he has been up for 4+ hours and really needs one... But he's just refusing. Ugh.

On a side note, does anyone have the Amazon "Echo"? SIL got us one for Christmas and I am so excited to play with it. I just have no idea where to start!

Have you guys seen the "mellow"? It's on pre-order right now. It's an at home sous vide machine, but it also times things to be cooked perfectly when you want them to be finished. I want one SO bad. www.cookmellow.com I also want a Cuisinart convection/toaster/steam oven, which I feel like is more likely.

[kemdupuis]

@jemomma

Lasagna, chicken pot pie, shepherd's pie, stew are all good options, as pp have said. I also think quiche, Stromboli, stuffed shells or stuffed peppers, or basically any kind of casserole (like a chicken broccoli bake) would work well. Someone made me a tortellini bake when I went back to work after I had B and that was really good. She also included muffins which was great to grab for breakfast in the morning for a few days

Omg I am so proud of ds1! So thankful I was able to go to his lessons (wasn't able to at first because of an appt).

He did so good it was amazing watching him swim for the first time. He was mesmerized by the teacher (who was amazing!). I wouldn't say he loved it, but he tolerated it and followed all the directions (blowing bubbles, putting ear in water, etc)

Gah I'm so proud. Lesson was 30 mins I would say at 20 min mark though would have been plenty cause after that he was shivering uncontrollably. His whole body was shaking. He will have to get used to the colder water I guess.

Been stalking to see how it went! I'm sooooo glad!

[periwinkledaydreams]

Eating last night's dinner leftovers for lunch.. love when leftovers taste even better the next day! Successful.

LO was screeching pretty consistently for about 3 or so weeks after Thanksgiving. All happy of course. And DS thought it was fun to imitate her sound. It was a very LOUD 3ish weeks...she only does it on occasion now.

mrsmonogrammed did you post the results of the ultrasound? I didn't see an update, just wondering how it went?

I won't know the results until middle of this week at the earliest:( the ultrasound was done at the hospital and the sonographer said they would send it to the ped's office "early next week". Thank you for checking on us:)

[stinybean]

babybean my t&ps for your niece & nephew!

[Deleted]

@jemomma, when people were bringing us food after P was born one of my favorites was a "wrap kit:" Tortillas, shredded cheese, chopped tomatoes, shredded lettuce, chopped chicken, etc, bottle of ranch dressing. It was so easy to just grab the baggies and throw one together without having to do all the work.

So, P has learned how to spit. This makes meal time extra fun.
