I don't want to cook for just me.

I've got some strip steak marinating in a teriyaki sauce and I guess I could throw a potato in the microwave...

Or maybe fruit loops?

Chicken and rice sounds super yummy, though!

I made some popcorn.. That should tide us over until dinner is ready.

Ugh, you're making me hungry!

I forgot to mention that I gained 4 pounds since my last appointment. Everyone at my Dr's was very happy. They were training a new girl and the nurse started to tell her about us gaining weight each appointment, and then she was like, "But this one keeps losing!" and then she was all yay! and happy when I had a big gain.

I think all 4 pounds are in my b oobs though. I walked past the mirror this morning and I was like WHOA!! I swear they got giant overnight. Oh and I have my first stretch mark too! lol

 

[Disney Ron]

Well, I think my family got me sick too. My sinuses filled up and I have such a sinus headache right now. I really hope not, I need to deal with DS and me not feeling well won't help.

 

[Piecey]

Sorry Sarah, I'm making myself hungry.
Congrats on gaining weight!!!! (One of the few times in our lives where we'll actually be happy to have gained!)

DH is home now, though. Guess SIL will be kept overnight and through tomorrow... but asked how I was doing. So I think it would be okay for me to go and see her this weekend

My BFF and I were due on the same day, but she had a miscarriage. She has told me so many times no matter how hard it is for her ,our friendship has gotten stronger because we communicated...just be there for your SIL. She knows it is very hard for you to know how to deal with her situation. My BFF also had another friend who was pregnant and she just avoids BFF now because he doesn't know how to deal with her loss. BFF resents her for that now and I know she is genuinely happy for me.

You dealt with your SIL's situation correctly tonight. Flowers show you are thinking of her, just be a good friend and she will be appreciative.

Is he nuts?!

WHAT?? That is just crazy!!

You got it!

But he isn't the only one. Did I post about my mil's grand plans for the summer? Her baby sister lives in CA. Last May, her sister flew a bunch of us out there and put us up in hotels, took us to DL, Sea World, Vegas, and the Hoover Dam. Mil's sister paid for everything! It was me, both kids, mil, her older sister, older sister's grandson, my sil, and her 2 kids. It was fun, but I had my fill of them after 9 days. They are sweet people, but more than a little crazy! So Sat, she comes to pick up the kids, and asks me if I would drive to CA with them all this summer in a camper! From MS to CA-in a camper! With people on bi-polar meds! When she saw the look on my face, she said "But we'll wait until the baby is at least a month old!!!!!"

I'm sorry to hear about your friend's loss. Glad that you guys worked through it and are closer now, though. I just didn't want to step on any toes or anything tonight, especially while she is still in the hospital. I know it is definitely fresh on her mind still.
DH said when BIL left the room she said that she thinks it was the accident.

You got it!

Who is she kidding?? Heck no! I'm totally going to be using my maternity leave (and beyond if I really don't go back to work) to snuggle and cocoon myself into my new house and enjoy my baby.
Newborns, from what I hear, are crazy enough... without people on Bi-polar meds in small places!



I just noticed that I'm in DOUBLE DIGITS!!

Hey mommies! Just popping in to see how everyone is.
Because of my gestational diabetes my doctor wants to induce at 39 weeks. So he'll be here by March 30th!! I'm hoping I go on my own before having to get induced, so pray that I will!

As for me, my belly feels huge and gets in the way all the time.
I have been nesting like crazy. I don't think my house has ever been so clean! We installed the car seat bases in our cars this weekend and I have all of this clothes washed up. The nursery is complete. Now all we're waiting for is our little peep to arrive! Speaking of which, I'm excited that I won't miss out on Easter candy!!

Piecey, so sorry to hear about your SIL's loss. How horrible for them


Hope everyone is doing well!

 

[MinnieFan4ever]

It was busy here over the weekend.

We are big time nesting here too. There is not a room or closet that has not been cleaned out. I told my husband that all of our closets look like something out of HGTV. I wonder how long it will last.

I too have started to feel the baby really kick. My husband always seems to miss it. It is so weird and at the same time makes me so happy!!! !!!

Hope we all have a great week

Hey everyone. Haven't posted in a while, but have been able to keep up the reading. Just wanted to post a new pic really quick of Luca wearing his brother's onesie. Sorry if I'm posting too many pics, I'm just in love!

Hey ladies! How is everyone feeling today? Piecey I am sorry to hear about your SIL. That is tough and I will keep her in my good thoughts

Well I had an interesting night. I actually ended up in the ER last night and it was no fun Turns out I had a case of food poisoning. At least that's what they think it was. I had severe vomiting and diahrrea and couldn't even keep any water down. I was getting dehydrated so I went in to the ER and they ended up hooking me up to an I.V. with fluids and medicine for the nausea. I'm feeling much better today but still a little weak and nauseated. They gave me some prescriptions for the vomiting and it turns out I had a minor UTI too so I got an antibiotic for that as well. All in all, an eventful night

One good thing did come out of having to go to the ER though! They did an ultrasound to make sure the baby was okay (which they were) and I got to see my little jellybean wiggling around all over the place. I even saw him/her sucking their thumb! It was too cute At one point the baby seemed to turn and look right at the "camera" and we could see their eyes and nose and everything. It was pretty neat. I hadn't had an US since I was 10 weeks so it was pretty exciting to see the baby and it made me feel better to know they were fine despite me feeling so lousy.

Finally! A minute to write....hopefully!

Sarah---Congrats on feeling your first movements!!!

Patsy--I am so sorry for your SIL! Before I had DS#1, I had a m/c on a Sunday and had to go to my SIL's baby shower that following Saturday. It was really hard, but I just focused on her baby (and cried on the inside). I think you're right to not go to the hospital, but definitely don't avoid her! She won't have bad feelings towards you.

HSD---sorry to hear about your food poisoning! Hope you feel better!

Ann---hope you feel better too.


Too much food talk! I need to lose weight now...no more excuses!


Well, baby is crying...there goes my minute!

Hope everyone is doing good!

Finnegan Martin (Finn) was born on 2/18 at 8:17 am. He was 7 lbs, 3 oz and 20 inches long. He is such a joy and a pleasure!!!! He is completely adored by his big sister Cameran (2) and his big brother PJ (4) - they can't get over him and are always willing to help out. PJ has decided that it is his job to tell me that the baby is hungry every time her hears him cry and my daughter has been trying to nurse him!!!!!!!!!

Here is a picture of our newest addition....
