Last night I sprayed Rediwhip in my mouth from the can probably a good 10 times. I don't even like whipped cream but it was there. Lyla saw me do it the last couple of times and wanted some so she got 2 mouths full of whipped cream.
ktstorm, I've felt like that this whole pregnancy. We told our parents early on but I never "announced" at work, except for telling my boss around 15 weeks when it started to become more obvious. My most chatty coworker finally asked me around 21-22 weeks if I was pregnant so I skipped weeks of the repetitive small talk! It throws them off if they ask "how are you doing" and I quickly reply "great, how are YOU doing?"
I didn't actually confirm with anyone at work last time except my boss until 25 weeks? I was perfectly happy with everyone assuming that I was just getting fat. I work with a lot of middle aged men and most of them told me they wondered, but would never ask a woman that question. It just seems so awkward to be like so is like to interrupt this meeting to tell all of you I'm pregnant? Uh no thanks.
Is this a confession - I don't like telling people that I'm pregnant? Except for all of you, of course!
I'm having serious anxiety about telling MIL and my parents about this pregnancy. I told my H that we could tell them after we heard a heartbeat on Wednesday - which we did But we haven't told either of them yet because we didn't have Bs best brother shirt. Well it came in the mail yesterday and I still don't want to tell them. I was like this last time too, I just don't like telling people and then having them constantly ask how I'm feeling or attribute my behavior to the pregnancy.
I was like this as well. Although it was more paranoia because I had no symptoms so I was constantly under the assumption I would lose her. I made my H wait to tell anyone (even family) until the ultrasound at 12 weeks. I allowed him to tell just his sister at 8 weeks because he was driving me crazy. His parents were in down from 6-8 weeks and I went on vacation with my mom during week 9 and none of them knew.
I'm glad I'm not the only who waited to share with my parents. I'm pretty close with them, but I just don't feel comfortable. My H on the other hand is a blabber mouth and is seriously bursting at the seams right now.
May definitely watches 2-3 hours of tv a day so that I can have a relaxing morning and another small break in the afternoon. (But I feel like I'm entitled because her friends who have "no screen time" also take 2-3 hour naps and she only naps for 45 min). I need a break, damn it.
Also, tonight we are taking her to the state fair. I fully plan on trying the churro that is infused with a shot of jack daniels and then wrapped in bacon.

I was fine telling people that I was pregnant with Natalie, but I was nervous telling them about Nolan. Even though we planned them so close, I wasn't looking forward to all of the annoying comments about it.

I was the exact same way. And then people act all butthurt because you didn't tell them directly or soon enough ( in their opinion). I was also the same way about going into labor, which was much harder to do the second time because we had to have someone watch B.
Today is free slurpees day. I totally plan on taking J with me to get one, even though I know he hates slurpees. Two free mini slurpees for me
Thanks for the reminder! My entire office is rough today from the boss' 50th birthday bash last night, so I introduced the non-Americans to the hangover-curing delight that is a slurpee.
Also, our other neighbor smokes, which irritates me b/c I can smell it sometimes when we are outside.
I hate that. Especially since I used to smoke, I find the smell so disgusting now... I don't know how I ever used to smoke!! Our neighbors smoke too and I will smell it in our backyard. Instant rage.

I'm worried that my kid is annoying. I mean he annoys me sometimes but today at the park he was going up to everyone saying "hi! I'm Ari!".
It was cute at first but them kept doing it to the same people. Moms stopped responding and then one girl (prob around 7) actually told her dad to tell Ari to leave her alone
I don't want the annoying kid. I want the friendly cute kid. But apparently there is a very fine line and Ari has crossed it.
I never drank coffee or alcohol while I nursed (or was pregnant) with E. I've needed coffee a couple times this go 'round and I feel extreme guilt. Not enough guilt to forgo a cup today, though.
Oh man. If this is flameful, I need cast into a fiery pit. I get a giant coffee more days than not.
Confession #2.... They're still there! Man do they love Sprout.
Im going to move them back now. We need a taller tv stand or to anchor ours into the wall so they don't stare at it so closely!
Also, side note: I weighed Rose earlier and she is just under 33lbs. Elias is 35. Jane is 26. This is why I put off having to go lift them and just let them stand there. Lol. My back is KILLING meee!!
When the boys wake up too early (like 6am early) I bring them into the bonus room, put O in his bouncer, put on PBS, and I crash on the sofa. I always feel bad but they are perfectly happy. Sometimes O will lay with me. I am trying not to do this much because I feel bad!
I am sometimes embarrassed by the way we spelled Dd2's name. At the time, I didn't know changing a spelling was something people side eyed. I imagine there were probably some people that were making fun of it behind my back and that makes me sad.

What is it? Try to not care about those people, you can't please everyone! My sisters hold me they didn't like the name Elias after I told them I was going with it.

I did a face melting impersonation of Anthony Kiedis this morning. Ok, it was ear drum shattering and horrible but D said she liked it. One fan is all I need.
