TGIF!! Randoms

[pbandj714]

It's finally Friday!

[broadwaymama]

WE GOT OUTSIDE KICKS THIS MORNING!!!!!!!! I was laying on my back this morning and thought I was feeling it outside, so called DH into the bedroom and sure enough he could feel it! He was also saying when it was stopping and starting so I know it wasn't just wishful thinking!
I'm getting my haircut today for the first time since like june so I'm exited about that! Happy Friday!!!

[cattuccino]

It's probably not a good sign that I'm already clock watching and it's only 9 am.

DH isn't even going to be home until....maybe 10-11 tonight.

[cattuccino]

broadwaymama That's awesome!
Enjoy your haircut too! Are you doing something fun and different? I have a hair appointment tomorrow and am undecided how much of a cut I want....

[frecklesnbrains]

@broadwaymamma I'm jealous! I'm not even convinced about inside kicks yet... 19.5 weeks. I guess I have FTM status and an anterior placenta to blame.

I need a haircut... I haven't had one since April!

[Flair Underwood]

Whoot, broadwaymama! Today is payday, so I'm paying some bills and DD pre-school registration fee (crazy!).

At work this morning, I poured a nice cup of hot coffee and decided to take the elevator so as not to spill coffee up the stairs. Somehow, I walked in to the elevator door and dumped the entire cup of coffee down my front (scalding my stomach and legs) and dumping the entire thing (half in the elevator - half outside it).

It's not Monday.

[broadwaymama]

frecklesnbrains I'm 19.6 today. It's much easier to feel as a TTM! I don't think I felt anything outside with my first until like 25ish!

[broadwaymama]

cattuccino I'm not sure what I'm doing! I let my stylist do whatever when I'm not doing a show. I trust him and it always comes out great! He is a god!!!

[shoogars]

Yay broadwaymama! I think I felt outside movement yesterday, but not totally sure.

I'm frustrated trying to think of names. Every time I suggest one DH doesn't just say no, he laughs, says "yeah, right!" And then mocks it. I don't feel like the names are that unusual. He won't suggest any. I told him I would just name her on my own;)

[manybellsdown]

Yay kicks, broadwaymama! I think we might be there, but baby is not consistent enough. I've called DH over a couple of times, but baby naturally always stops.

I am so happy about Friday. We finally don't have anything to do for a weekend. I'm going to take down Christmas stuff... yes, it's practically moldy. We also might buy an SUV after a long long search, and if it's over soon I will celebrate as only one can without alcohol. Two car seats are not fitting in our current car, so it needs to happen. Also I am so done with the getting-toddler-into-small-car debacle. It's 10x worse in winter, and the growing belly isn't helping

I might be able to complain about that for awhile. SUV come to me!

[mladerri]

Happy fri-yay!!

[pbandj714]

So jealous of all of you feeling kicks! I have felt what I thought were flutters a few times now, but then I can't really tell if it's my heartbeat I'm "feeling" or gas or what. Sigh...eventually.

manybellsdown, what type of SUV are you hoping for? I have a Forester and DH has an Escape, so thankfully we don't NEED new cars because both infant seats will fit; however, I'm having dog mom guilt that our boxer won't have enough room in the car. She usually sprawls across the entire backseat on trips. Do we see if she'll sit in the middle? Put her in the back-back with all the stuff? Gah. The things I worry about...

[manybellsdown]

pbandj714 We are on our fourth make/model, and we have been pretty confident we'd get the last three. So I'm not holding my breath, but we are test driving the fourth one, a Nissan Murano, today. Only two rows but I'm not ready to move from small zippy car to 3-row or god forbid minivan yet. (We only have one car because city living right now.)

The car seat lady recently posted a buying guide ( thecarseatlady.com/2015familyvehiclebuyingguide/ ) and it helped us tremendously. We might go for the third kid, so the potential for three seats in the back was important for us. The Forester is on there, so maybe your dog will be cool with the middle! Or the floor?

mladerri aaaaaand now I'm going to need a donut.

Edit to try to make the link clicky

[broadwaymama]

This just popped up on my FB newsfeed! Thought you ladies might get a giggle out of it!

[pbandj714]

manybellsdown, good luck!! And thanks for the link. I'll have to check that out! I'm hoping she'll be okay with sitting in the middle with a doggie-seatbelt because I feel bad banishing her to the cargo area. Waaay too big for the floor unfortunately.

[GOmamab15]

SO HAPPY ITS FRIDAY!

Thanks for posting that link for cars manybellsdown I need to think about car shopping sooner or later because I have a coupe and I'm doubting my ability to deal with a baby in a two door.

RIP Flair Underwood 's coffee I hope you're not too scalded.

[woodengirl07]

This had been a looonnngggg week so I'm very glad it's Friday and a three day weekend!

[manybellsdown]

GOmamab15 a two-door! I would freak out on the reg.

But yeah, the car seat lady does so much work for you. I was so happy to see it. The 2016 cars version is coming out in February, she says.

Yeah I try not to think about it!! I keep thinking we don't have it in the budget to get a new (used) car but really we're going to have to!

I feel the same way! Do you know where your placentas are? I have two anterior so I think that's part of what's causing the sporadic movement. Can't wait until it's obvious!

[nitecheese]

I have become a boring person who only wants to eat and sleep. Preferably in that order. I think that the cold I've been avoiding has come home to roost. Booooooo.

On the upside, DH has a gig tonight so I can go to bed when I put DS to bed, guilt free. It is the little things.

That I don't know yet. I have an US next Wednesday for a cervical measurement, so I'm assuming I'll get to see the babies too? I'll have to ask.

Day 1 of no DH for 7-ish months. DS slept in so late we didn't get to see his ship sail away... but it was foggy anyways.
On the plus side, that means it is time to pack for Hawaii!

Oh no!!!! So sorry. So he won't be there for birth? I missed this, is he in the military?

Oh wow 7 months.  That has to be so hard.  Is that the normal amount of time he goes away for?  Sorry you missed his ship sailing away but that is exciting about Hawaii!  How long will you be there for?

Yay Friday!!! We're having friends over for dinner tonight and they're doing the Whole 30 paleo diet so I'm making something super healthy... But I'm also making a cake for us to eat whenever they leave, ha!

I was just outside talking to my neighbor (who I'm friends with) and she told me that she had a miscarriage last week and had to have a d&c. I came inside and broke down crying for her. I feel so sad for her, the pain feels so recent even though it was 7-8 months ago for me. I know it also must be hard having her talk to me and see me 20 weeks pregnant.

[pbandj714]

Sending positive and healing thoughts to your neighbor txmommy14! Loss is so unfair.

[Kevinmac]

Why are Cheez-Its so addicting? I tried to eat only a handful, and then I kept getting more and more handfuls until the box was gone.

I'm jealous of everyone feeling movement! With DD I was consistently feeling her move by 18w, this time around I'm just over 17 and haven't felt so much as a flutter. It isn't good for PGAL brain.

On a side note, today is the first, first birthday on DD's BMB and I'm having all the feels about my baby turning 1 in two more weeks. Add in to that these crazy pregnancy hormones and I'm sobbing over every thing today.

[txmommy14]

Kevinmac, Have you tried the Cheez-It snack mix? Delicious!
