My husbands name is Brad and he was always self conscious growing up because he thought it was a girl's name because of Hey Dude. He's Bradford though.
We were just hanging with my husband's uncle Brad(ford)!

The best photo I could find. My BFF wanted Melody's pink dress, but I thought nothing was cooler than Brad's dress. I mean, the black pantyhose? I thought it was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen and was hoping that some day, I'd have a reason to wear that exact dress somewhere.

My H's name is brad and he's self conscious of it because the snobby jerks in movies seem to be named brad.
Totally true! I always tell my husband at his next job he should reinvent himself as Bradford.

DH went food shopping today and he said the bill was $280. I died a little. We don't shop every week, it might be closer to every 2 weeks, but DAMN. So happy market basket is back up and running, we will go there next time once they are fully stocked.
So now that we are in NH everyone I see riding motorcycles are without helmets. What is wrong with people! Riding a motorcycle at 70mph with no helmet? Aaaaah
At the hair salon, Nolan took a tampon out of my purse, waved it around my was like, "mommy, what is this for?" Noo. Haha
Lol! We haven't had that happen in public, but Kai found a pad in our hotel room yesterday. Why did I bring pads when I'm 6.5 months pregnant? Because I pee myself. Neither here nor there. Anyway, he asked what it was for, and I believe in being up front with him but also, HELLO AWKWARDNESS. I said it's something ladies put on their bottom. He asked if you rub it on your bottom. I said HEY THERE'S A GARBAGE TRUCK! Lol.

I crown myself an awesome wife today because I let Matt sleep in, dinner is simmering on the stove, I cooked him breakfast, and I took both kids to the farmer's market myself. And I brought him back an iced macchiato. He's cutting the lawn, but still.
So when I start ordering more fall clothes, I will remind him of this glorious morning, lol.

I feel like it's 100% necessary to point out how awesome we are from time to time. It's not something that they're going to pick up on by themselves.

I just had an awkward experience at the grocery store. I took S in her car seat so I didn't have a lot of room in the cart. The cashier insisted on getting me another cart and have someone bring it out for me. Super sweet, but no one wanted to help. So they finally get a young girl to come and she's insisting on pushing the cart with S in it, rather than the one with the groceries. I had to kind of argue with her. It was a long walk to my car.
Two toddlers plus a newborn is absolute madness! My ILs came for the long weekend and brought my nephew. Nice break for BIL/SIL but my house isn't set up for a three year old boy in addition to G and I haven't figured out nursing in a baby carrier yet! I left DH to deal with them and took A to nurse in the bedroom earlier.
It took us 45 minutes to get out the door and we did drive-through McD's for lunch to avoid unbuckling the crazy toddlers...
claralou what did you decide to do with the kids? I hope it was easy! I usually have an easier time with two toddlers than one - his friends are way more exciting than I am.
We're waiting on the cable guy to show up. Our window is 4-6, I'm thinking it will be more like 6, because a service guy from that company lives right around the corner. Odds are we'll be the last call of the day.
H is working today so I took Owen to the book store and just let him run. We were with playing with grabber arms, he wore himself out to a 3 hour nap. Bonus.
Definitely started having contractions. I took Brady to the pool at 11 and they were about every 10-15 mins apart Now they are 8-10 mins apart. Oh I hope this is it!
I have been working my tail off cleaning this house for 4 hours. DH hasn't said a word. Not a single "thank you" or "the house looks great." I'm so frustrated that I never get any sort of recognition for cleaning and raising our child (on top of working!), but I am constantly thanking him when he does the dishes or takes out the trash. He has zero duties in this house, because he chose to hire a gardener a couple years ago. Did he offer to get a housekeeper? Nope! I just wish he would offer to do something without me asking or at least thank me and give a little encouragement as I'm going. To top it off, he's been working on his fantasy draft for the last 2 hours.
steph196 I think it is time for you to hire a housekeeper! When he asks, just say oh you have a gardener so I figured me getting a housekeeper would be no big deal.

They were so happy with the water table and sandbox in the backyard that we just stayed home. Having them entertain each other was much simpler than hauling them anywhere- you're right! They had a blast:) how's the beach??

Ugh! I was just walking out the door to go to dinner with the family, and MH calls in a panic that he needs help with some computer work for his restaurant. So now everyone is off for a yummy dinner, and here I sit alone, all dressed up and nowhere to go
