The Official New Mom Thread Part 2

[Alice28]

Oh boy, Holly....I feel like I have lived your scenario myself. The kids have accidents ALL THE TIME when I'm home with them, but somehow when it happens on DH's time, it's somehow my fault. I understand how mad you are....

Z- what a nice picture of you and your sisters!

GM- I'm so sorry you are having sleep problems with Olivia. It's so exhausting. I hope things improve soon.

Kim- hope you get some rest tonight.

We are trying to decide where to go to dinner with my MIL. I hate this- I told DH, "Just pick! I don't care!"

On a bummer note, we got a letter from WL today that their main pool will be closed while we are there, but we can use the quiet pool, the pools at the CR and the Poly. Sigh. Not happy. This happened for our 10 day stay at the CR- their main pool was closed and we could use the WL, the Poly or the GF. While fun to use the different pools, it's not as easy to haul everyone over to another hotel as it is to just amble down to your hotel's pool.

Good evening moms!

Oh, FF, sorry about the coke spilling and your Friday night being a bust! You are right accidents are accidents. I hope that your dh doesn't give you the cold shoulder.

Robin - I LOVE to hear what is going on with you so please post away! What a great find on the Star Wars figures too!!! The girls have Target gift cards that are burning holes in their pockets and we almost stopped there this evening after Costco but I was too tired.

DisKim - Are you feeling alright? I wonder if you are coming down with something being as tired as you are. Good luck with the dog training too. You are a great mom for getting the dog for Emily!

Zalansky - You are such a skinny Minnie!! The picture of you and your sisters is great. I'm sorry to hear about your dad. Maybe it is a good thing that he is in denial about the cancer. I'm glad that hospice is in there. They are wonderful.

Hillbeans - Have a super time at your friend's house for NYE!!! It sounds like a lot of fun. I forgot to tell you that I love the picture of Liam in your signature. He is growing up so fast! Also, doesn't Kevin have a birthday coming up next month? I think he and Meagan share the same birthday.

Cabmom - I forgot to tell you that I loved your Christmas pictures too! How have you been doing?

Has anyone heard from GLT lately? I'm worried that we haven't heard from her. Is she at her parents house?

Also, where is Ryan840? Icebrat? Gems? Bellacam - How is Bailey doing? I hope that everyone is doing well.

Hi to all the moms!

ETA - I wanted to tell BNBmom about my dh I wearing our light up baseball caps at MVMCP since I thought she would get a kick out of it. (I wear the Red Sox and dh wears the Yankees) We get so many comments on it and I know that BNBmom has commented on it before....anyway, we wore the caps and a CM looked at us in shock that we are fans of rival teams. He exclaimed that "He** has now frozen over since two fans of rival teams are married to each other." I about died laughing b/c I never heard a CM say "he**" before. Oh well, I thought it was funny....I guess you had to be there!

Robin - I just saw your post about the WL pool being down. What a bummer!! Do you think you might switch back to the Poly? Are you all planning to swim a lot? Gosh, I'm so bummed for you b/c while the WL pool wasn't huge, the kids sure did like it when we stayed there. I hope that something works out for you.

 

[llij]

SL - I just saw your post too. I'm so sorry about your migraines. I used to get them a lot and it turns out they were related to my hormones. Is there any chance that might be your situation too? With my andomyosis (sp?) I had such hormonal issues that migraines were so common for me for a couple years. I hope that you feel better soon!

FF, when I got home from shopping (2 stores) DH was doing dishes before dinner. This means I can't get in the house because our dishwasher is not installed and needs to be rolled over the sink. This should be fixed this summer when we redue the kitchen, but not soon enough for me. Anyway he was really grumpy about the dishes and was in a mood. He said "New rule, you can't use a big dish if you are just going to dump it in the sink and not clean it." I said "New rule, no talking to me when you are feeling pissy." He calmed down after a while. The thing is we both have been avoiding doing dishes for days now. Normally when he is home he does them and give me a little bit of break. He is kind of sick now (He did get meds from the doc this afternoon, I picked them up for him. No thanks.)

Zalansky, why did you get braces? Your teeth looked fine in that picture.

Everyone who has said Hi and welcome back to me and well wishes for our family feeling better, thanks so much! You guys are great.

And to all the lurkers, new moms to be and everyone else. Hi.

DisKim,

I hope you're not getting sick.

Hillbeans,

Your NYE plans sound fun. I wish we had somewhere to go like that. We really don't know too many people yet. Maybe we will have a game night here.

 

[DisneyPhD]

Robin, when will you be at WL? We had ressies for this next trip there (VWL) but our wait list came through for BCV. I hate it when things like that happen. It isn't the end of the world, but if you had know you might of stayed somewhere else. The pool is such a part of the atmosphere there. Will the villas pool be open? That one is pretty nice too.

 

[Strawberry Lemonade]

llij - I have endometriosis and I'm on BC pills. I hadn't even considered that to be a trigger until now. I'm telling you I swore up, down, and sideways and these were sinus issues. I can't believe I'm just now realizing these things.

alice28 - Sorry the pool's going to be closed when you're there.

disneyphd - It's nice to see you back!

floridafam - How long have you been in Florida?

 

[floridafam]

Robin,

I know you probably don't want to hear this but I would seriously consider switching if the pool is going to play a major part in your vacation. You are going at a peak time and I can't imagine all of the spring break people crowded around the villa/quiet pool.

UGH! And the CR pool is nothing to write home about.

 

[llij]

SL - I remember you mentioning the endo. which is similar to what I had. I took me years to figure out everything too, and it was the neurologist that immediately suspected the hormones. I feel for you! There is a migraine medication that they offered to give me that would break the hormonally induced migraines. I hope you feel better!

 

[DisKim]

SL - I'm sorry to hear about your migraine. Those are complete torture.

FF - I'm sorry about the soda spill and your Friday night. It could be worse, you could have 8 future rotten Friday nights to look foward to like I do. I get to choose between taking Aidan to Emmy's horseback riding lesson (dirty floors, smelly horses, 1 year old baby ... not fun ) or dog training classes that happen to be 45 minues away because SIL didn't happen to tell me that they were being held at the PetSmart closer to her. I hope that made you feel better .

Robin - I have to second what FF said. I would switch resorts. I can't imagine taking all 3 of my kids and packing them off to another resort to swim. That really stinks! What are the dates of your trip? I completely forgot. It looks like I'll be there some time around 5/7. I think we're staying off site though (gasp!) because it will be free with my mom's Mariott points.

zalansky - You and the dark-haired sister look almost exactly alike!

I've been shopping on Coldwater creek for at least an hour. They have 60% off the entire site so I thought I should get a dress for the Florida Keys wedding. Every dress I like is sold out! I have a few in my cart and I'm trying to decide now. I wish I could try them on!

 

[DisneyPhD]

DisKim, I got a dress, a bag and a jacket for $50 with shipping last night (70% off.) I really like the dress, the purse was only $3, and I am not as sure about it in person. Oh well.

 

[DisKim]

OK, I need some help. I kind of like this dress. It is a very casual wedding on the water. Put it this way, the father of the bride is wearing shorts. The dress is only available in black. I was going to get the belt and matching espadrilles.

I like it! Especially with the belt.

 

[DisKim]

I also like this one but I'm afraid it is too dressy for this wedding.

I thought these shoes would go nicely with either dress and would dress them down.

Here are some more I was considering.

 

[zalansky]

Kim - I like that first dress the best. My second choice would be the one right under the shoes in the 2nd post.

 

[llij]

Kim - I like the first dress too, but the brown one with the cute shoes is great as well! Let us know which one you decide upon!

 

[floridafam]

DisKim,

I like the second dress the best. Are they from Coldwater Creek.

There is a code on the budge board for 70% off.

 

[justhat]

Kim, I like the first dress best too. After that I think I like the 2nd dress (the brown one) or the 2nd one under the shoes as a tie.

My friend and her bf went out to get some food as I have none here. I know, bad hostess, but I thought they'd be here earlier and we could all go out, but they didn't get here till almost 8pm and both of my kids were sleeping so I suggested we order in, but the place they chose said it would be nearly 2 hours to deliver so they went to pick it up. I guess I should do some dishes while they're out though so I'll probably be back on tomorrow.

 

[DisneyPhD]

This is the dress I ordered yesteday. Now I realized I need need hip high heel boots for it. I should of got it then. I had a code that worked for 70% off, but I think it stopped yesterday. Do a search on the community board, that is where I found it.

I like the 1st dress for the wedding. I like the others too, but maybe for more formal things or even work.

What is the price for the 1st one with 60% off?

edited because the link wasn't working, so I just posted it.
