We had a fun family night, went for a walk, frozen yogurt/sorbet and I went to Wegmans and found lots of dairy free food (even pizza!). Now I'm holding Luke and he's wide awake and making noises. I guess he wants to watch a movie with us? Bridesmaids dress shopping wasn't too bad, I think we picked the dress. I still have no idea what size to order? I have a feeling I'll be spending a good amount on alterations. It's comical how long the dresses are, I'm so short!
Do you guys like this? It will be wine colored. Is it good or keep looking? It's an outdoor fall wedding on a lake in the Adirondacks. The straps are sheer and the bodice is strapless.

I went underwear shopping to buy some bigger pairs to accommodate my expanding pregnant hips (and butt). I spaced out and bought my regular size so they're too tight and I already washed them all. I was tugging on the seams to help stretch them out and I ripped one pair completely in half. It felt very cathartic. Screw you tight underwear!
artgal84 at first I was like noooo do not wear that to a wedding!!! Then I relaized you said it would be wine I think its a nice fit but is it a very formal wedding? I wouldn't wear it to just a regular wedding I don't think, it's quite forml looking

Excuse me- didn't you just have a baby?? You look amazing! I think it looks gorgeous. Just needs to be hemmed.

I'm the maid of honor and it's outside so my sister wants long dresses in case it's chilly (it's in September). The fabric is really soft and flowy.
New stroller arrived, took it for a walk today after work. I like it I think! It's still heavy but it's a double so that's inevitable. It folds up pretty small and is easy enough to fold and unfold.
It's only good to 35lbs per seat but since matilda only gained about 3lbs in a year and is now 30lbs I think we're good for a while
irishsara It's long, I was going to be make my own thread but decided against it.
I said something about craving a date night. MIL: I'm sure your mom would love to watch the boys the next time she's in town. Me: It'll be the first time I'm leaving Calvin but I know he'll be fine. MIL: My mom basically had to force me out when Jenny (SIL) was 4 months old but I'm glad she did. Me: Yeah that's nice having someone so close that's familiar with the kids and willing to watch them. MIL: Tom (FIL) was saying that's why we don't watch the boys, they don't know us and wouldn't be comfortable with us. Me: Well you've watched Evelyn (niece) quite a few times and you only see her twice a year. MIL: oh that's different. We have a special bond with Evelyn that we don't have with them *points to Lincoln and Calvin* I just said oh.
Ooh interesting! We are going out to the suburbs on Sunday to look at houses so I don't think I have it in me to drive out there twice in one weekend. Do you think you'll check it out?
I'm not sure! We might go grocery shopping. I really want to check it out, but I think dh has a lot of stuff he wants to do around the house this weekend. We will see!
Good luck with the house hunting!
You can also add an ikea trip since you'll be out there. But that could be sorta crazy.
She always says these things to me when my H is having his own conversation with my FIL. Like that way they won't hear her? I don't know. On one hand, I don't want to care but c'mon. I'm human, I can't just ignore it and pretend like that wasn't an awful thing to say.
And then she said, "you know, your mom has that same bond with your boys." They're my mom's only biological grandchildren. My MIL intentionally plays favorite.
And they always made us sounds like such horrible people wanting to move our I'd state. But now that my SIL and her H may be moving to some part of CO, they're already booking movers because it "kills them to be so far from them" with them living in Texas right now. I can't imagine how my H feels since they are HIS parents. The things he's told me about his childhood make me so sad for him.
