Taco Thursday Talk

[dmorgendorffer]

Because I'm finally having taco's tonight. 

[dmorgendorffer]

Yesterday I went to Gap Kids and bought DD new pants, she doesn't have many pants that are fitting her chunky little thighs. I ended up buying size 12-18mos but when we got home and I tired them on her they are so tight! I'm exchanging them today but the 18-24mos looked so huge yesterday and the 12-18 are already too long for her. Why do they make everything "skinny" now?

[lilyelayne]

dmorgendorffer buy boy pants? Though lots of those are skinny too.

Not much here today. Sick of the rain but at least it's been giving us breaks here and there to go on walks. My mom gave DS an Elmo plushie last night and he is so over the moon about it.

Much to our surprise, we got a positive pregnancy test last night. It's all very surreal, especially since my husband will be gone for most of it, leaving me alone with the tiny terrorist and pregnant to boot!

[dmorgendorffer]

Congrats kaydee0402! Hope it is an easy pregnancy!

lilyelayne It had not occurred to me to consider boy pants but I'm going to look in that section today. Everything is skinny these days - it seems like every time DH orders clothes online we end up needing to return it because it is "slim fit" which just does not work for him.

Congrats kaydee0402!!

Yeah! Congrats!

This morning I woke up to a baby and a crib covered in vomit. Likely yesterday's daycare snacks and dinner vomit. So awful! Once she had a bath she yelled for her milk and chugged it down. But still so gross!

Congratulations kaydee0402 ! So exciting! I hope it's a smooth and uneventful 9 months!

Just hanging out at home today. We had such a fun day yesterday but it wore us all out.

[tortor4]

I have to AW this picture of DD at the zoo yesterday. She LOVED the animals. She would make kissy sounds to try to call them all over to her and blow all of them kisses goodbye. It was so sweet.

[lilyelayne]

tortor4 precious! And her outfit is great!

[lilyelayne]

mishka29 oh no! Gross! Glad she seems to be feeling okay.

Trying to shift DS's nap time back a bit since he's been taking a while to fall asleep. He was napping 11-1230ish and then eating lunch but it's been more like 1130-1200 by the time he falls asleep and then we don't have lunch until 2 or later. Though I do like going straight from nap to lunch instead of nursing first.

Anyway, trying lunch and then nap today. Exciting times over here.

[tortor4]

lilyelayne we did the same thing a couple months ago. I was worried about her waking up because she was hungry so we pushed nap time back until 1 and she eats at 12:30.

[aggiebug]

kaydee0402 congrats. H&H 9 months

dmorgendorffer have you looked at osh kosh? They have different styles.

As for me. I am still riding the nausea train but I had a Dr appointment today and hb sounds good and she gave me a sample of nausea meds to try. My MIL gets here tomorrow evening and I still need to get the house in order.

[lilyelayne]

tortor4 yeah I tried it a few months ago and he would only nap for 30 minutes. Not okay!! Especially since he only takes one nap! Hoping this time goes better.

aggiebug yay for doctor's appointment and a healthy heartbeat! Is it the digeclis? Hope it helps!

[tortor4]

lilyelayne oh boy 30 minute naps are definitely not ok! My fingers are crossed for you!

[aggiebug]

lilyelayne yep Dr appointment went well nothing exciting but no concerns. And yep it's diclegis I hope it works too. I am at my lowest weight since umm maybe college which is kind of crazy. I know that I am OK at this point, but I clearly need to up my calorie intake and that is damn near impossible at the moment. It would also be nice to tolerate water a little better. This pregnancy is so SO different than last time.

[aggiebug]

Good luck adjusting the naps lilyelayne

[dmorgendorffer]

aggiebug we do have a couple of Oshkosh pants and they are my favorite for jeans. I think I'll consider this my lesson learned on buying from Gap kids and stick with them going forward. I went to exchange and ended up comparing all the pants options against a pair of sweatpants she has that I know fit her well and the sizing was completely inconsistent between styles. I ended up finding some that were still 12-18mos but at least 2 inches shorter and an inch wider - I think they'll work much better. No need to have her wearing jeans so tight she needs to wiggle into them when she's 14 months old!

Glad you found something that works. DD is mostly in handme downs but I have noticed her chunk a monk thighs don't fit well in all of them and she also gets mad when she can't climb on her toys.

[lilyelayne]

Today's nap experiment is going well. Yay!

aggiebug I couldn't drink water at. all. during my first tri, which drove me bananas because I hadn't had any drink other than water in nearly two years. I suddenly switched to living on Sprite & ginger ale. Hope the meds help or your symptoms shift soon!

[dreemkin]

kaydee0402 congrats! Very exciting but sucks that hubby will miss most of it =(

[kartish]

kaydee0402 Congratulations!

Today DH and I took V to the children's museum and went out to lunch. It was a nice afternoon.

[dreemkin]

We went to the zoo today. Just me and the girls. DH surprised us and met us there for lunch (he works close to the zoo and we have a pass). It was nice to see him and I'm grateful for his help bc it was a later-than-normal lunch and the kids were getting fussy. A recipe for a meltdown for DD2. But it was a great day. I'm glad we decided to go!

Love the zoo pictures tortor4 and dreemkin! Makes me want to make the trip down south to the zoo. Maybe I can convince DH next week.

[kaydee0402]

Thank you ladies!
