  • Bethie, if you don't move into that place, I will.  Screw some arbitrary agreement to wait until March!  There's no good reason for it.

  • Ok. I'm going to email the guy and ask what exactly "small pets ONLY" means.

    Did I mention it's 3 bedrooms? And has a garage? And basement storage?

    Fun fact about asparagus pee:

    Some people have the gene that makes their pee smell funny after they eat asparagus.

    Some people have the gene that gives them the ability to detect funny smelling asparagus pee.

    But that gene is not the same, so there are people out there that can smell others' asparagus pee without necessarily being asparagus pee-ers, and others that are asparagus pee-ers that cannot detect their funky asparagus pee smell.

    The more you know!

    I can smell my asparagus pee.  Fran claims his pee does not smell after he eats asparagus.  Every time we have asparagus I'm tempted to ask if I can smell his pee to determine if it smells and he just can't smell it, or if it doesn't smell in the first place. 

  • Katelyn has slept through the night for six nights in a row.  I never thought I would see this day.  Going 13 months with broken sleep is just horrible.

    I made a tasy dinner last night, courtesy to Kristen sharing this blog.  I felt like I was eating at P.F. Changs.

    Hooray Katelyn!!!! I'm so jealous.  Can't wait for Owen to get back there. I bet you feel fantastic.

  • Do not drink a double dose of Robitussin cough syrup right before bed if it says "NON DROWSY" on the bottle.  They aren't lying!!!  I could not fall asleep for anything so now I'm a crabby monster today.  AND I got razor burn on my calf this morning and thought it would be wise to put lotion on it but now my whole leg feels like it's on fire.  AWESOME.

    I'm kinda jealous of my sister's relationship with her new-ish boyfriend.  They are still in the gaga lovey-dovey stage and while it's a bit nauseating sometimes I miss those beginning days.  When she had the flu last week he slept on the floor next to her bed all night!  So sweet.  And he's really hot.  (I probably shouldn't say that...but well.....he is.)

    I think someone should invent a universally understood hand gesture that means "STOP TEXTING AND DRIVE MORON".  I've encountered far too many idiots swerving all over the place while texting.

  • Congratulations Miller!  Sleep is highly underrated.  Were you worried the first night she slept all night?  The first time Ian did I kept going in to make sure he was OK.

    I think Texting while driving should carry penalties as harsh as DUIs.

    Agreed.  Imagine the guilt of taking someone's life because you had to text Becky that Johnny thinks she's hot.  Confused

    We worried we just slept through her crying.  Prior to this past week, we were in there at 10pm. 1am, and 4am on the dot every.single.night.  All of the sudden it just stopped and she is sleeping from 6:30-6.  SO weird, but amazing!

  • Gwen is getting four teeth right now and is not happy about it. She lets us know loudly, multiple times a night how not happy about it she is. I'm a sleepy girl today.

  • - I've been reading donkey's blog and she's sent me into panic, freaked out, terrified mode about breast feeding! Holy mother of god missing nipple chunks would be the end of breast feeding for this chick let me tell you

    - I'm starting to make myself crazy about being a mom.....I mean...how do I say this properly......After Spencer we took full advantage (if you could call it that :s) and did everything we thought we wouldn't be able to do. i'm talking Vegas 6 times, mexico twice, a cruise and an unlimited amount of parties. We are going on our babymoon on Sunday because we figure it will be our last trip for a long time. I now feel like a b!Tch mother to BOTH of my children for feeling this way.

    - Scarlett Mae lastname is going to be this little ones name and the more I say it the more I love it. I also take great pride in knowing that MIL hates it and will plaster it all over everything I have just to piss her off

    - The Luvs commerical with the babies having a fill your pants competition seems inappropriate to me

    - I've only gained 1 kg this entire pregnancy!

    - I think James is very royal and strong

    Donkey is a AW drama queen, so while you may feel a certain natural connection to her, you shouldn't buy everything she says.

     Scarlett Mae is very...Southern.

  • Also!

     

    A lady on my due date board is naming her child Cloud Sylas Raine......... I really want to flame her but it's not that kind of board :s 

  • Never ever listen to Donkey.  Even you have to be smart enough to know this.

  • I have a hard time believing that Donkey doesn't exaggerate things. If she really, truly lost chunks of her nipple, well, that sucks. But I'm 99% sure that missing nipple chunks do not happen to the majority of women who breastfeed. If it makes you feel better, we had a difficult time getting Will to nurse properly (he had a major tongue tie) but Evie was no problem whatsoever. She latched right on like a champ after she was born.

    Let go of the mom guilt. You guys had a terrible thing happen, you regrouped and rebuilt and spent quality time as a husband and wife. That is a good thing. You will still have a life after the baby comes. Things will be different, but they'll be wonderfully different. And you can still travel with kids.

    I like the name.

  • Jen, I just read those posts this weekend and also freaked myself out.  It made me second guess my decision to BF (or at least try to BF) but ultimately, I'm going to give it a shot.  Still scared of my nipples falling off though.

    Also, Scarlett Mae is a really pretty name.

    I'm not quick enough (and currently too lazy) to know the conversion of a KG to LBS, but if you're happy about it, then it must be good.  So far, I've only gained 15 lbs. my pregnancy, but judging by the amount of Dove chocolate I've inhaled in the past 2 days, I'm sure my appointment tomorrow will include a rude awakening.

    I figured out one more random this afternoon while lurking on ML.  I get really confused when someone refers to Laptopprancer as LTD instead of LTP and I wonder if that used to be an abbreviation of a former screen name.

  • I have a hard time believing that Donkey doesn't exaggerate things. If she really, truly lost chunks of her nipple, well, that sucks.  

    I don't know enough about Donkey to know she's like that..... I just couldn't figure out why in the hell you would keep breast feeding! I just sat there holding my teets and reading the terror that was on her page.......

    Fallin it's not Scarlett Mae as a whole, just first name Scarlett middle name Mae if that makes any difference....
