Book rec? I love a good trashy romance novel and am sending DD to daycare tomorrow.
I like most of Susan Elizabeth Phillips. I'm currently reading Heroes Are My Weakness.
My absolute favorite! I re-read all her books at least once a year if not more often. Match me if you can is my all time favorite, I still cry sometimes even after reading it many times.
I started thinking I want a third kid so I'm expecting the universe to deliver me a sleep regression imminently
You're coming over here tomorrow, that should squash that idea lol.
Speaking of, I had grand plans for organizing and overly cleaning tonight but instead I'm going to drink wine, watch the bengals, and eat chips and salsa. Sorry ahead of time
glitzy07, I would like a status update. Did you schedule your RCS?
Still pregnant (39+2 if you follow my original due date, 39+5 if you follow what the ultrasounds all said). I have an appointment tomorrow morning at 8:30am and the doctor will sweep my membranes if she's able. They couldn't do it last week because I was only dilated a fingertip and too high. Snow storm just started tonight, so maybe that will start something? ☺
There was just a huge car crash or something somewhere outside of my house. I heard a skid and a crash, then our power went out for a minute. Now there are a ton of sirens and flashing lights outside. My H went outside to see what's going on. I hope no one got hurt.
ETA: A truck hit a pole and flipped over. The driver is ok. When they cut him out of the truck, a ton of beer cans spilled out and the guy was bombed. He's lucky he didn't hit anyone.
My H decided that tonight, less than a week from my due date, was the right time to start steaming and scraping wallpaper glue off the walls in our basement. You know, the stuff I've been asking him to do for months. Sigh. Oh, and he painted a few color swatches that will taunt me until we choose one and paint the whole room, which takes both time and money.
Dude. We're going to have a newborn and a toddler next week, and my pay will be reduced to 75% for my leave.
My mom just sent me a photo of her brother at 9 months. He looks just like Jack. Her brother passed away at age 25 in a car accident, and I am sitting here looking at the photo and crying for my grandma, who had to go through losing her baby. I am extremely emotional today for some reason, and it's disconcerting.

Awww, sympathy nesting.
Let the man work! The more he does now, the less you have to balance with 2 kids under foot.
Today was so very expensive. We took DD1 to Disney on Ice. Adorable but $150 for three of us. On the way in the parking lot, DH drove up against a concrete pole and scraped the entire driver side of the car. The driver door does not open. I'm guessing $6-7k in damage. Then we spent $30 on a plush Rapunzel doll that DD promptly dropped and lost unbeknownst to us until it was too late.
I am drinking wine. Yum. And watching the Good Wife on Netflix, it's awesome.
I never went to work today because it was closed. I forgot it was a stat holiday here, so the caretakers weren't in the building to open the school. I don't know where the alarm system is yet so I could't deactivate it. So I spent the day with the kids instead.
I am amazed by my kid. DD is so amazing, she is just such a great kid, confident, independent, courageous. I love it.
Haha, AmyRI, I hadn't thought of it that way. I'm definitely not stopping him. I scraped the glue in C's room myself a few years ago and would pay an inordinate amount of money to have someone else do any future wallpaper removal for me. And I am glad it's getting done. His timing is just always ridiculous. Oh, men.

LOL - DH decided he needed to finally put up the crown molding in our living room. A week before DD was born. You know, nearly 5 years after moving in. Crown molding is not necessary to prepare for a newborn!

I shopped the after-Christmas sales on Saturday. FI is always bitching that he needs more clothes but doesn't have the money. So, I went into Primark, and picked out a pair of jeans and three t-shirts. He liked exactly ONE t-shirt.
I put the other clothes in the Primark bag with the receipt and set it aside to return next weekend, since we were busy Sunday.
I come home from work today, and the clothes are on my dresser, out of the bag, no receipt. He "cleaned up," didn't see the receipt, and used the bag for trash. And blamed me for the lost receipt because I should have put the clothes away. Who the fuck puts away clothes they are going to return??
So when the power went out and then turned back on, the white noise machine in DS's room switched from the static sounding white noise to the heartbeat mode. I really hope this doesn't screw up his sleep tonight. His sleep has already been off this week.
My 16 month old has been awake 4 times since going to bed early tonight. She was exhausted so I don't know what gives. I can't get a look in her mouth to see how her canines are coming, but I just gave her some Motrin anyway and she fell asleep. Hopefully that does the trick.
I love my daughter but I don't think we can room share anymore. We don't at home but when traveling we often only have 1 room and it's not going well. If she stirs or cries even for 2 seconds I wake up. If she wakes up enough and realizes I am there... Game over. She has been up for 2-3 hours in the middle of the night, or up super early. I am sleep deprived and my in laws are driving me crazy. they are nice people but they talk a lot, and are loud, and move at 'retirement speed'. We are in a 2 bedroom rental and it's just too much together time. My inner introvert is very upset.

I wanna go home.
That sounds not fun at all. How much longer are you there? Is there an extra bathroom you can put her pack 'n play in for the night or anything? No sleep, no space and close quarters with anyone besides DH would have me going crazy as well.
holly116 - my favorite part of Vegas is the eating! Sooo many good restaurants. And of course lots of good shows too. We go at least once a year, and sometimes i don't spend a single dollar gambling. I love Vegas! We usually stay at the Wynn because it's a work related trip and that's where the group stays, but Palazzo is my favorite.
starburst - that is really scary! Glad everyone is okay.
I am in a cranky mood. DH is annoying me about getting a babysitter for a friend's surprise birthday party this week. He's like well we need to put the kids to bed first and I am like uhhh that's what a babysitter is for. They can put the kids to bed. JFC he is driving me crazy with this nonsense. I need to pump and go to bed before I say something to him I'll regret.
