Ha, glitzy07, I was just thinking the same thing. I'm going out of town with some girlfriends this weekend and two of them are stopping by my house to pick me up on Friday morning. Never mind that they probably won't even set foot inside my house, but I am still washing the kitchen floor and doing some other cleaning tasks tomorrow.
Also, DH has been complaining about a sore knee for the past few weeks and he finally made an appointment to have it checked out. Well, according to an MRI, it turns out that he has a torn meniscus and needs to have surgery. Wonderful. I just hope we can get it done and have him healed up before baby #2 comes.
I was talking to some moms at work today in the department next to ours. They all had multiple kids and were very reassuring, but I felt a twinge of jealousy that one had the older girl / younger boy combo (her son is one). I HAVE ISSUES! I am sure if I was having a boy I would be jealous of those having two girls.
I keep accidentally referring to "the boys" like "which of the boys will have the purple room?" so clearly my subconscious is convinced I won't have a girl.
This is 95% unrelated to your post.
I referred to this baby (whose sex is unknown) as a boy yesterday. I am also convinced I'm destined to be the mom of three boys (counting SS), no matter how much H and I would both like a girl.
@vicmo We're not planning to this time. H really wanted to know with C, so we did find out for him. The compromise was that we wouldn't with #2, because we can reuse everything anyway. Plus since I may very well end up with a repeat C-section, it leaves something to be surprised about at the end. Ask me in six weeks when we'll have our ultrasound if I still don't want to know, though, because the planner in me is crying inside.
The kid necklace thread made me start looking on Etsy for a necklace. I think I found one I want and needed to measure the chain length and see what it would look like on me. Instead of getting yarn I just grabbed some Wiki Sticks, connected a few, and made the correct length. Then I put it around my neck to make sure I liked the look. I'm not sure if makes me resourceful or what.

I'm sorry. I hope he can have the surgery ASAP. My husband had surgery to repair his acl and meniscus during my maternity leave. He was able to stay home and take std but I felt like killing him every hour. It was the worst!

You're having a boy. I'm terrible at this game, but I sense boy, lol.
Sometimes I feel guilty with how much I want to have another girl. I see my friends who have sisters though and their bond is so sweet. I love my brother dearly but wonder if we would have been closer if I had a sister.
And plus I've spent so much money on DD's wardrobe if I can't use it again I will cry.
2 of the 5 teachers at the girls' school just quit. So now I finally get the nerve to fill in the head of the kindergarten church committee about what a jerk the director is and it's too late. ARGH. I have no doubt that they left because of her. Where in the heck are they going to find 2 amazing people willing to teach 4 year olds for 10.50 an hr in the next 2 mos?!? I'm distraught.
I saw Jurassic World this weekend. I am now in love with Chris Pratt. He is so dreamy. I never watched Parks and Rec, which is a shame since I loved 30 Rock, nor did I see Guardians of the Galaxy. He is also rumored to be the next Indiana Jones, which I fully support.
If I was a 12 year old girl, I would put his poster on my bedroom wall.
I even kinda wish I was pregnant just for the off chance of having a hormone fueled, vivid sex dream about him. Sigh.

DH is irrationally sad about not being able to say "the boys" anymore since #3 is a girl.
Sorry about the crappy day rugbywife. What course is your H taking?
He is taking his Junior qualifications. He has been teaching Junior grades his entire career (6 years!) but is now moving to a new school and when he applied I told him to put that he would be getting his Junior quals over the summer so that he could apply for the Junior and Intermediate posting. Well, he got the job (he has a 6/7) on the basis of him getting the AQ. lol.
We had our first swim lesson tonight and I loved it. I think the baby did too, but let's be honest, these lessons are more for my enjoyment than they are for the three-month-old's! He stayed asleep for the first five minutes in the water, which was hilarious. The other kids are splashing and playing, and mine is snoozing away as I'm kicking his legs and singing and bouncing up and down in the water. When he woke up, he was like, "Where the hell am I?!" But he had a good time and no tears!
How much is shipping usually for the buy/sell board? Dd sleeps in fleece pjs, which are impossible to find in stores right now. Trying to decide if it is worth posting an ISO.
Usually $5-6. Do an ISO, I've skipped over several fleece PJs because DS only sleeps in cotton ones.
You guys, motherfucker, I just found out that a college friend of mine has brain cancer. She lives on the other side of the country so I can't DO anything. Like bake a quiche or cupcakes, DRC. Motherfucker. She's 32!

I could have written this word for word, but I have two brothers and I've sold a lot of clothes I don't love. I want a second girl more than I wanted a first.
Oh yeah, no plans currently for a second kid, lol.
This makes me feel so much better that I'm not alone in this! Not saying I wouldn't love a boy but I've always been a girly mom and DD is the best daughter for me. It also makes me feel extra guilty because we've been actively trying for #2 for almost a year.

I think it is time to convert the crib to a toddler bed after bed sharing at the hotel for 15 weeks, dd2 is pissed about being confined. She is currently sleeping on the kiddie chair that flips out (we called them flip n fucks in college-I have caught myself almost saying that in front of the kids a few times) in her room. So basically she is sleeping on the floor right now.
1. We got a "please trim Ben's fingernails" note from daycare.
2. While DH was consoling me from a BF related meltdown, Ben came into the room holding cat poop. DH and I both yelled so Ben laid down on the floor and cried.
To make you feel better....
The other day I am chilling on the couch & DS walks in holding his OWN poop!
Mommmmyyyy I pooped on the potty see! See! I pooped on the potty but I FISHED it out so you DIDNT have to get off the couch to see. ( kid knows I am lazy lol)
Meanwhile he is smeared in poop & naked from the waist down & tried to sit next me. I may have cursed & then got a lecture on naughty words from a 3 year old while I bathed him & wiped up the poop on the walls.
So I short my kid KNOWS I am lazy, I swore at/ in front of my kid & made him wait to get his poop on the potty jelly beans until after I cleaned up the poop

I just went through and liked all the posts in this thread about how annoying Daniel Tiger and Caillou are. Luckily, ds wants to watch Sofia the First 95% of the time.
My confession is I don't really hate any kids show in particular. I am like 100% zoned out for all of them. The two times I half saw Caillou even I was just like meh whatever. They are all annoying in different ways but they keep my kid quiet so I'm not that picky.
Oh. I'm totally here too. Calliou's voice just grates me so that one sticks out. I hate him but let the kids watch. DD loves him. As for the rest of them, I don't think I've ever watched a single episode of any of them.
My kid watches TV so I don't have to occupy or otherwise be with her after all.
