Re: Deep (and not so deep) Thoughts-Say Anything
That sounds awesome. It's great that you can expose your kids to so many different cultures near you.
I'm betting that I'm going to have these babies at 37 weeks. I had to go to the hospital at 17 weeks for contractions, then last night at 27 weeks for 2.5 hours of what felt like one long contraction. I was dehydrated and I'm a fingertip dialated but not effaced. So I figure 37 weeks will be my next trip.
And murhphy's law wise it makes sense-that's the week of DH's finals at school!!!
I have never in my life been as big a proponent of medicinal marijuana as I am today.
I think people who are against it are like the people who are against gay marriage. They are far removed from the circle of people who need it.
Seriously. All my mom needs is to chill out and have a mad case of the munchies : (

I hope she gets what she needs.
I was thinking about your mom today. My aunt who lost her husband was told by her grief support group and her therapist that she needs to do something for herself. She bought a solo ticket to Kaui, Hawaii. I'm proud of her, she is grief stricken from losing her husband so suddenly in front of her and some other family stuff. This should be a good thing. I thought of your mom and all she's been through in the past couple years, said a quick prayer for her and you guys. That's a whole lot to handle in a short amount of time.
This. I also, think you also have gone through a lot too, Kasey. I pray that God will give you the strength to get through it.
With baby #3 at 11.5 weeks I was showing. Plus you are not big to start with.
Ditto this.
I got a positive test and approx 8 seconds later my body was all *BAM!* LET'S DO THIS! And I looked 48 months pregnant. Now at almost 24 weeks I look the same as I did at 8 months with G. So, that's awesome.
Don't feel bad about yourself. Embrace it, and when someone assumes you're further along than you are be all "nope, my baby's the size of a lime. don't you feel like an @ss now?"
Hahahaha, thanks Char and Kim, I feel better.
I have the strength and support to get through it. I was really happy that at her appointment today, we approached the subject of her seeing a therapist to talk through some of this stuff. Her doc made a good point, that it's hard when your cancer moves to a new site. This is the first time in 9 years she's had to deal with metastasis. Although the "stage" of her disease has not changed, she's experiencing some of the things that later stage patients experience.
She'll be seeing a palliative care team because of the need to manage recurrent symptoms. She has one of the worst cases of "anticipatory nausea" her doc has ever seen... Which basically means she gets such anxiety before going to treatments or doc appointments, that she subconsciously makes herself ill.
While she's on short term leave from work, I will probably end up working a little less and spending some weekdays with her.
I just want to get her past this slope.

I'm going to need the information for that shop
I'm so sorry Jax. I'm glad she's getting support.
Absolutely. There are actually a couple of good baking shops, but this one is much cheaper than the other one I've been to.
Has your DH left yet?
He left last Thursday. I've been meaning to e-mail you his apartment & work location to see if you had any restaurant/shop rec's around him.
Also, wondering if you knew where he could get a hair cut for cheap. He pays $4 here & the cheapest any of the guys in his office use there is $33. If that's the cheapest we can find for him, I'll start cutting his hair again myself.
It was the same for me with Samantha. I swear as soon as I saw positive on the test my belly just bloated out. I was outgrowing stuff I wore with Kaitlyn by like month 6-7.
Your body is just prepared ahead of time to take care of the baby! 
There's a place called EC House that has locations all over the place. $10 walk-ins. If he's got a simple haircut, I'm sure it'd be fine. Website: http://www.ec-house.com.sg/
Send me his info, and I'll see if I can help with shopping/restaurant suggestions.
LOL Kim, I think you need to get this outfit...
I'm totally wearing that outfit today to do laundry in the basement.
I knew she was large up top but dang! That dress makes them look HUGE. lol
Kudos for her for trying to keep up with the heels. There's NO WAY I would have even attempted to wear them at pretty much any point of my pregnancies. LOL
I know, right?! I'm pretty sure her boobs have applied for their own zipcode.
Her boobs are jumbo!!!!!! I can't imagine how her back feels with that belly and boobs plus wearing those heels. Nuts I say!
I am thinking of doing the unthinkable; ordering Crave Cupcakes for Maren's birthday. With DH out of town all week, cleaning this house for family and setting up for a party, I just don't have time to do a proper cake or cupcakes for my baby girl. I'm ashamed.
We're putting our house on the market next week. I'm freaking out. First, what if it sits on the market for months? Second, what if it sells in two weeks?
Either way - I'm freaking out...but ready for it to happen. Mostly so that I can rest - we spend every waking moment cleaning or working on the house! I'm tired.
I am so FUCKINGANGRY.
My mom is coming down this weekend with her husband and my stepbrother. DH and my stepdad are taking the boys to Monster Jam (gag), along with my BIL and oldest nephew, and my mom and I are going to hang with B at my house. DH mentioned something earlier about going out to one of the nicer pizza places downtown beforehand and then they boys will go to Monster Jam and my mom and I will come home. I was fine with that.
DH mentioned something to his brother about getting pizza. I just got a call that SIL texted him and wants to come (fine. I hate her, but BIL and her kid is going to dinner, so whatever). She also said that she invited MIL and MIL's sister to go with us.
I can't uninvite them and say "no we're going to dinner with just my mom" and not have MIL and her sister not go without looking like an @sshole. But my mom and my MIL don't get along, her sister is a nightmare to be around and I HATE that my SIL (again) is taking control of a situation that never involved her in the first place. GAH. I'm so pisssed.
my boobs are at least that big. uggh. every effin' day of my life...lol.
she is wearing a really bad bra!
OK, that was crappy of the boss to want that cooler. wtf? asshattery.
my photography blog
Yup. I had so many people say to me "I can't wait to see what you do for Emily's cake"! Um, nothing. We did a 4" smash cake, but that was it. Bad cake baking mom here too!
