broadwaymama that is fantastic!!! I'm so glad you're able to see the potential and I hope so much this becomes a reality for you! The yard and kitchen sound amazing!
I'm so jealous of those of you with gorgeous weather. I'm so ready for winter to be over already.
We had a quiet day at home today, was able to do a fair amount of cleaning so I feel better about the state of my house. Having Thai for supper tonight - can't wait!
lakecountrygal you motivated me to get my car washed today. It needed it so bad with all the salt from the roads. We're supposed to get dumped on Tuesday so it'll be clean for 2 days but oh well, it feels good now. sandandsea very nice! broadwaymama I'm so happy for you! Just when you really needed some good news. I'd say perfect timing! Hope it all works out.
We've had a perfectly boring day today. We just wrapped up dinner and we're watching Mr. Rogers wth DS. I can't help but smile when I watch Mr. Rogers.
I just got home from being out all day at a basketball game and lunch at our friend's bar. DH's friend asked if I was going to go out with them. That would be a big fat no. I'm home doing laundry now and going to watch the end of Selma.

mladerri by the time we got home you could hardly tell that I had washed it since the roads were such a mess. We are also supposed to get a storm this coming week. I feel the same way as you though, at least I got some of the salt build-up off of it.
After spending 75% of the day outside I'm exhausted. I will probably be going to bed at the same time as DS tonight.

Craving fresh fruit like crazy!!!! I just polished off a half pint of raspberries now I'm on to blueberries! Of course this stuff is super expensive cause it's out of season
Yay for new furniture, new houses, and relaxing days! And for JuJu BFF diaper bags. I haven't switched to mine yet because I think I want to wait until the baby comes and keep it clean until then, but it's soon tempting!
I just got home from such a long day. 6.5 hours in the car and I drove the ENTIRE time! We were only at the shower for 2.5 hours and turned around and came right back home. Sitting in the car for that long is so uncomfortable, so glad to be home! Tomorrow is another busy day-we are working in the nursery at church and getting lunch with friends afterwards, but all fun things! My cramps did subside, thankfully. I still emailed my doctor this morning. I feel embraced and don't want to be "that" patient, but thought I should let her know and see if she has anything to say before I see her next week.

You guys !! Tonight my MIL watched Dd and brought me a bag full of DH's 36-year old baby clothes for Ds. She told me if I couldn't use them that it was okay If I consigned them.

I am in new york this weekend. I came to the city to visit friends. I've felt fine all week, and then literally on the train down my throat started a itch a bit and I came down with a cold. It is just a cold, but last night a bunch of us went out to dinner and were out until 11:30. Then today was meeting in the morning for brunch, shopping, lunch, meeting a different (pregnant) friend to look at strollers and so on, short break, dinner, then after dinner karaoke. I've probably walked about 80 blocks today in the cold. My left hip is screaming and my throat and nose are so mad at me I'll probably be sick forever. But hell if I was going to skip my plans. I've been looking forward to this for two months. I might use a sick day on Tuesday if I don't feel better and just try to sleep for as many hours as possible.

I found cherry infused dried cranberries and am hooked. They're amazing. DS loves them too!

I'm jealous of everyone with warm weather. We had snow all day today. But we took DD to see ice castles and it was pretty awesome! She loved it and had so much fun exploring. I'm so glad she was in a good mood because she's had a stomach bug the past couple days, but we had tickets already purchased so figured it was worth a try going rather than losing our money

One of my very best friends had her second baby yesterday. He is so adorable! I want to go visit so bad but they live in Atlanta!! I have never gone anywhere pregnant but I'm seriously considering it. What are flight restrictions for flying pregnant. You would think I know because I book flights for people every day!

Flair Underwood those are soooo adorable! My MIL sent one shirt and a stuffed animal as well as several baby albums of DH. I love them!
I had a seriously awesome day yesterday. I spent the morning planning and booking our babymoon to Big Bend while DH made us bacon & eggs for breakfast (that's a treat in this house), and then in the afternoon I baked chocolate chip cookies and read. And then I got a prenatal massage. And then I made tomato soup for dinner, and we went downtown and saw a Wilco concert. We got home at midnight and I hit the pillow and was out COLD for 8 hours straight. It was beautiful.

You can fly anywhere with no restrictions until close to delivery. I think most airlines require a doctors note if you're past 36 weeks. Other than that - go go go visit your friend! (I've already flown 3 times since being pregnant, and currently have 2 more trips planned, the latest at 30 weeks).
^oh that's such great news!!! Now I gotta save some pennies!
The only thing they say is that for long flights (more than a few hours) you should make sure to stand up and walk the aisle intermittently, as you're at higher risk of forming blood clots in your legs when you're pregnant. Of course you know you're going to have to use the bathroom at least once an hour anyway
I had an exhausting day yesterday. I went to the mall with some family. DS was impossible to deal with. He refused to eat his lunch, he smeared pizza all over me (and my new maternity shirt), he arched his back when I tried to put him in his stroller, he didn't want to hold my hand while walking, and then would collapse to the ground in a tantrum when I tried to get him to do anything he even remotely did not want to do. I think he was way overtired, but of course he refused his nap. My parents and sister witnessed all of this and they have offered to watch him for me whenever I need them to. He did sleep well last night with only one wake up and he slept in until 6:15!
I had an awesome day yestetday! It was gorgeous and hit 57 degrees, so DH and I took the dog to a metropark for a nice long walk on the path. Then we ran some errands, got some froyo, and got to catch up with some friends in the evening over pizza and brownies.
ArgyleEnigma and packerfan4life.... I was thinking more it was a little bananas crazy. But I suppose you are right that the intention is very sweet.
LOLOL I was with the others who thought it was super sweet. Now reading your response I'm seriously cracking up! I guess I can see how it might be odd that she saved the clothes for that long, but I'm always jealous of people's who's parents kept sentimental items like that. Needless to say, DD won't have the benefit of any of my old items. I've been struggling just to get a baby picture of DH from my MIL. I have no idea what he looked like as a baby or toddler.
