Going to the aquarium with DS and a friend today. DS was so good for the babysitter last night, we had a thing at church so our neighbor watched him. She kept him up late so I was totally hoping he'd sleep in for me-nope. Not the case. Oh well. I'm proud of him for not totally melting down last night when we left him.
Trying to eat healthier this week-yesterday was a fail that included French fries, ice cream, and pizza. I don't see how people stay full without eating loads of unhealthy stuff.
I've been up since 3. DS had a coughing fit and startled himself. I got him back to sleep in 5 minutes. Me? Not so much.
Is it bad that thing I'm most excited for is my lunch? I made lo mein with crispy tofu last night and I cannot wait to eat the leftovers. At 8:42 am.
So sorry you didn't sleep!! Ugh. I was lucky to be able to fall back asleep throughout the night when DS was a baby even though I struggle with insomnia, hoping that happens again with #2. Your lunch sounds delicious!
I had the a crazy dream last night. I dreamed that on this board we were talking about weird dreams and someone (no one in particular) said they had a dream they were being chased by sharks. My dream immediately turned to me being in the water and sharks all around and I was climbing up on a boat to get away. I'm dreaming about you ladies.....
I woke up at 3:50 and couldn't get back to sleep. And then I was starving. We got about 5 inches of snow last night and dh isn't home so I had to shovel. I'm pretty sure shoveling snow would be included on strenuous activities that my doctor told me I couldn't do, but I had to get out to drop ds off at school.

I just got this e-mail from my MIL - idk, but it really rubs me the wrong way: Congratulations on a new baby boy!!! It's a new adventure - little boys are definitely different than little girls but just as adorable in their own way!!! (And when they're teenagers - you'll be SO grateful!!!! SO much less drama!!! From observing my friends with girls and teaching teen-agers - even if your own girl is wonderful - they have friends!!

Flair Underwood, I can totally see how that would be an off-putting email. HOwever, I do get what your MIL is saying. (Her reasoning is similar to my line of thinking about why I'd love another boy. As a high school teacher, teen girl drama scares the pants off of me).
I'd take it with a grain of salt, but if she brings it up again, maybe say something.
DH had to catch an early flight this morning, and since he is a last minute guy he did all his packing at 4 am...which of course woke me up. Then the girls popped out of bed at 5 (5 seconds after he left). I am still a bit foggy, I am so tired! Luckily my mom is coming today to hang out. I may take advantage and sneak out for a little alone time.
The girls have been kissing my tummy a lot lately, my 2yo always jumps back laughing and says the baby but her nose:)
@marybellsdown, thinking of you, good Luck with the scan!
Just reading yesterday's randoms about weight gain, I actually tracked my weight weekly in my last pregnancy (I'm weird) and gained the most weight in the first half of my 2nd trimester, then it kind of levelled out.
This morning DS threw and absolute kicking screaming tantrum because (god forbid) I said we were having Muffins and scrambled eggs for breakfast, not cereal. It was a good lesson for me though because I also almost lost it but instead left him with his fit in his room and said he could come out when he's ready to calm down. Which he did after 5 more minutes of a tantrum behind his closed doors and then he can out as if nothing had happened at all, sat down and ate his entire breakfast. Oh to be 3.
The muffins I made were actually a banana muffin recipe but I substituted cooked slightly sweetened oatmeal for the banana (similar texture) and added cubed Apple, they turned out really good. Froze a bunch to pull out for weekday breakfasts.
Hi guys! I took a few days off from posting leading up to my a/s because my anxiety was through the roof so I spent my time playing with DS, digging out from the snow storm, and trying to keep my mind off of baby stuff.
My scan was this morning and thankfully my anxiety was unfounded! Everything looks fine so far, although we do have to go back for a few more pictures/measurements of the heart because baby was not cooperating. The feet also look great which was a concern since DS was born with clubfoot so I'm relieved that they looked pretty good today.
And of course, what everyone really wants to know - it's another boy!! DS was with us and is stoked to have a little brother. He said that he's going to teach him how to wrestle and play with toys and kick. You know, the important stuff!

I'm hoping today is a productive day. DS slept all night in his own bed so I slept all night too and didn't even have to get up to pee! Amazing.
DH called a dealership last night to begin to negotiate a price over the phone/internet before we waste time going in. I'm hoping it's painless and I get a new car this week! It will be my very first new car and it's exactly what I want. I'll be really excited if it all works out but am trying to hedge my feelings until it's all done.
I want to hurry up and file our taxes because we are getting a refund for the first time in YEARS since we bought a more expensive house last year and made a large quarterly payment at that time. I know lending the gov my money interest free isn't the best financial planning tool, but the refund feels nicer than having to write a big check. I'm missing 2 big pieces of info, but have estimated them so I had an idea of where we stood.
I had an electrician come over a couple of weeks ago to give us a quote for some work. He was very nice, but never called back with the quote, so I followed up yesterday. I hope he just miswrote my number or something. I'd like to hire him and get it over with, but I'm really annoyed he never called me.
