DS had a pedi appointment yesterday. I don't know what it is about the pedi that makes me so defensive. She's happy with his verbal abilities and his mobility but concerned about his weight. He's been 98% and up across the board for his whole life. At 15 months, I guess it's supposed to taper off. She showed me the growth chart and the curve starts flattening out but his weight was still shooting up so she wants us to make some changes. The changes aren't unreasonable but dammit, I want you to tell me I'm a perfect mom and my kid is perfect.
Also we are almost done with season 3 of Sons of Anarchy and I would like to apply to be Jax Teller's old lady. Please tell me where to sign up.
In exactly 1 month I'll be back in the US. I'm very happy, but also sad. Shit is about to get real with studying for boards and applying for residency, ugh. I'm pretty sure I'm going to miserable from March 20-July 31 lol, studying 12+ hours per day for months is never fun.
Plus, I wish I could pack my boyfriend up and carry him with me to the US
What specialty are you going in to?
Ob/gyn...I'll be watching women gestate their fetuses and catching lovely, ripe crotch fruit!
I've never had crepes. Nor would I know how to make them. I am jealous.
They are super simple.  I always knew them as pancakes, because my great grandma from Germany used to make them, and she called them pancakes.  lol  They are actually crepes.  When I went to a friend's sleepover as a kid and her mom made pancakes, I was like "what is this??  It is thick"  hahaha  Just milk, flour, eggs, and a bit of vanilla.  I have lots of yummy fresh fruit, so I figured it was perfect for this morning. Â
They might still be pancakes maybe? English pancakes are so much thinner than American pancakes, but I think French crepes are thinner still? Now I'm confused and wondering if the pancakes I grew up with are actually crepes! Lol.
@lazerus24 you are the sweetest. And I love this place for the same reason. Even though we are a bunch of incredible bitches, there are some pretty incredibly amazing ladies here.
We're supposed to experience all weather today. Snow, then freezing rain, then rain, flooding, and high winds, and thunderstorms. It's kind of cool.
I love my H. He's so freaking cute about this pregnancy. He ran up to me when he got home from work this morning, grabbed me in a huge bear hug and was like "it's your birthday! and you're pregnant!" He's so excited.

frkls - that happens to me when I have a day off. I make all these big plans, check in on the boards, then suddenly its noon.
I'm sorry some of y'all are getting more snow/ice/cold but... can you keep it up there? I'm blissfully unaware down here enjoying my warm days. i don't even care if they are stormy. I broke out a new spring dress today, and feel like a million dollars. I'd PIP, but I don't have a good mirror to take a pic.
Went to a new ob/gyn yesterday. The differences in the area crack me up. With the one I went to in the city, we talked about kids and how we would approach things with my PCOS, but that I had plenty of time and didn't need to jump on things right away. Now I'm in a more rural area where everyone pretty much has kids because there's nothing else to do. I talked to the Dr about how we're taking a break so I can take my CPA, and he wasn't impressed. Lots of "don't wait too long!" and "you should get going". I'll be 29 in June - didn't realize my clock was running out. Bonus - at least he didn't stick a finger up my butt. I remembered that thread before going, and was a little terrified.
@lazerus24, I love you. That stuff with your DS makes me melt. How awesome!
I have been really bad the last two weeks about staying up too late and not getting enough sleep. My eyes are constantly red because of it and I look weird :/
I want a huge blueberry muffin right now but will settle for a protein bar instead. Wahhhhh.
I love my kid. She's so funny right now. She says mama, daddy, doggy, Bubba (what she calls our dog), thank you, bye-bye, baby, and in the mornings when I ask her "Are you ready to go?" she says "ready!". I love spending time with her and just loving on her. I'm sure next week, I'll complain about her, but right now I'm in love with her. Lol.
Last night was supposed to be our last foster parent class but it got cancelled. H and I still kept the babysitter and told the kids we still had class so we could go out to dinner, just the two of us. Then we ran a couple errands and picked some stuff out for the house. We brought home Shamrock Shakes for the kids so they were all thrilled too.
I'm so excited to be able to paint my walls something other than white when we move that I might be going a little crazy with colors. H is trying to reign me in. LOL What I'm most excited about though, is doing each of the girls rooms!
H and I have a viewing to go to tomorrow. It's not until 1:00 but I took the whole day off work. I'm going to send all the kids to school and get some cleaning done while I have the house to myself.
That is scary. Â I have never experienced that before, but good to know. Â I did have a legit flameful with candles Tuesday. Â I was vomiting so much, and I had to go lay down. Â I had just lit a candle on the breakfast bar, and totally forgot about it. Â I fell asleep and slept for about 8 hours. Â Â I woke up, and it was still burning. Â Literal flameful. Â Thank god nothing happened. Â
I have on more than one occasion suddenly realized that I went to sleep (or worse, went out!) with a candle left burning. It's terrifying. This is part of why I only use jar candles, because then at least they're contained somewhat.
My second year of teaching, I decided I would light a candle for Parent-Teacher Conference night. At the end of the night, I was exhausted and went home. When I came into my room the next morning, I thought,"Wow! My room smells so...OHMYGOD. I left the candle burning all night long in my freaking classroom." I blew it out immediately and never spoke of it. I still can't believe I almost burned down a middle school.
My favorite thing about VC Andrews is that she actually only wrote seven of the books attributed to her -- and her ghostwriter is some dude who has been making $$ writing about brothers and sisters banging since the 80s.
I'm here at 9:15. Not a good sign for my productivity. They threw me a small little get together in honor of my 10th anniversary here last night. It was nice to be honored and not bitched at for once.
I am training a new attorney at work and I drove with her this morning to get some coffee since we had an early start. I was listening to Backspin on SiriusXM driving to work this morning, so when I turned on the car, it was still on that channel....AND a 2LiveCrew song was on and the first words that came out were "WHO WANTS SOME PUSSSSYYY?"
OMG. I was mortified. Lol. I changed the channel right away and luckily she just started laughing hysterically.

I'm getting sick of my dcp not shoveling or salting her driveway. It's a fucking hill that my car barely makes it into from off the street. The other day from the snow, she walked down to get dd b/c she was nervous for me to walk up it myself. Well today I get there and it is a sheet of ice. My car goes up enough of out of the road and then slips back (after the car was in park and off). I was able to get it just enough out and dd and I had to walk through the snow bank just to get up the driveway. Next time, I'm calling her and having her come down to pick up dd. I can't chance slipping and falling b/c she's too lazy. Every year we say 'it's just going to take one person to fall for her to change' and I can't chance it. DH slipped and fell the other night picked up dd.

I hate my job. I fantasize about flouncing out in a dramatic 'fuck you all I'm out of here' way. I've written several resignation letters for fun. I realize this is not healthy.
Do you have time on the weekends to do any kind of meal prep for that stuff? When I take just like an hour on a Sunday to do that, it helps my weeks not be so chaotic.
For real though, can you not do it every night and maybe just every other? And then actually skip the bathing? (Not kidding about that one)
LOL, Laz, yeah, they don't get baths every night. More like 3 to 4 times a week depending on how messy they are. The problem is, Emily is freaking messy! And Emily is now chill enough that she will take a bath with Natalie which is making things easier.
I'm just overwhelmed right now and I feel like I'm not doing enough for the feeding group stuff. Although she did kick ass at the session last night.
Baby steps, right?
If she kicked ass lastnight you are taking more than baby steps. You got this!

"I was thinking about getting off on demand, but it sounds like I should be glad that I didn't"
puddleofgrace I'm sorry you're having a hard time. Would it work if you do the food group on Saturdays and Sundays for sure then just one or two more days during the week? Seven days a week sounds unrealistic.
