Vinyl gutters, what a great idea!! We bought the ikea spice shelves for a similar bookshelf "hack", but it's been on our "honey do" list for over a year now. They're half painted, so there's something, but I like the idea of te gutters. I might have to do that for our weird wall in bjl's room!
I just bite the bullet and buy new ones. I don't have a lot though, maybe 5 or 6 board books that we read over and over. We have non board books now, too, and they're way cheaper, so that's a plus.
Boy is 3.5 mos, and doing lots of cooing. We started using the bumbo and he loves it! He can sit and just watch us. This has made my life exponentially easier.
Bjl turns 2 in 1.5 weeks. I can't believe it. Don't think there are any changes really. New words that she surprises me with all the time...she has started saying "all aboard" whenever she plays with toys with wheels.
i finally convinced my hub at like 4 this morning that he shouldn't go to the parade, lol. he had been wanting to go this whole time...and as of late last night,he was still convinced he was going to go, even if it was just him. but seeing FB statuses of my insane friends who were already waiting, at midnight, etc...i told him there's no chance he'd get a spot that was worth it.
It's a triple birthday, we're "friends" with one kid, know one other (have been to 3 play dates hosted by mutual friend, but never talk otherwise), never met the 3rd.
Thank tou 7costanza and @lauralynne, but I think I finally convinced my husband that it was a bad idea! I told him to go on his own but I think I pointed out the negatives enough that he may not go himself!! (Traffic or bus rides several hours prior).
Always bring copy of birth certificate, just in case. Southwest will always want to see a copy everytime.. Alaska did not ask us. So far those are the only airlines we have flown with kids. We have the britax boulevard, we check it with luggage- it's free and easier.
I am dreading my 6 week check up tomorrow. I just don't want to go. Everything feels good and I don't need anything. Getting back into sexy time with h is actually much easier and way less painful this time around and I already started running again. Why can't they do over the phone appointments?
Haha I still haven't had sex. How do you do it with two kids?? Plus the pain terrifies me. I have no idea how we got pregnant a second time having sex as little as we did last time!
You got: The Overwhelmed Pamela Corey / shutterstock.com You never imagined parenting could be this hard before you had kids, and now talk about showers the way most people talk about vacations.
I would have the same preference as you. Whether is enroll sooner would depend how rough things are right now and finances. My thought, though, would be to do a until c is open.
Is this the one in Abu dabi? (Didn't click, sorry). If it is, it's already in the Koran that an able woman must feed for two years, or her husband can......do something. Not sure what it is. But it's as per husbands wishes. The country is already very religion based, they are just making it into secular law, which most people would've followed anyway...
Morning! I had no self control yesterday and ate a bunch of cookies....the butter drove the boy crazy yesterday and I definitely paid for it. He screamed the entire day until he was passed out, then the moment he woke up, more screaming....sigh. No more cookies.
Today is a busy day for me. It's Chinese New Year Eve, which means a LOT of cleaning. Traditionally you're supposed to have your entire house clean and debts paid before midnight or else you are in for a dirty, poor year. I won't even come close to the cleaning aspect, but hey...effort, right?
I love that @jennuinne is learning tricks from niq. That is so awesome and a great benefit of us sharing photos, stories, etc. such a great community we have!
How old is LO? Just over 3 months, and almost 2 years!!!!! Eek! What's new and/or exciting lately? Well both of their colds seem to be on the mend, so that's good. Why is being a mom stressful this week? The continual colds are frustrating. Bjl wakes up more MOTN bc she can't breathe and has a panic attack. Why is being a mom worth it this week? Cuddles. Always the cuddles. Bjl can repeat whatever you ask her to say, and can compose 5 word sentences on her own. Boy....is still kinda boring Why is your kid crying these days? Bjl cries when she's tired and boy cries when he poops. Which is weird to me bc bjl could sit in a poopy diaper all say and not give a sht How often do you give baths? Who does the baths? We normally shower bjl every night but have not showered her in a few days bc of her cold. Boy is every other night. We alternate, but hub does it a little more often.
How many weeks? How are you feeling? Anything new and/or exciting? When was your last appointment? Next appointment? Are you having a baby shower? When? Who's hosting?

TTGKTFU ladies:
Where are you in your cycle/how long have you been TTGKTFU? Any signs/symptoms? When was your last BCBC? Were you fertile? What do you think will be the best part of pregnancy? (Besides the obvious). What do you think will be the worst?
Let's see those pictures! (yes, TTGKTFU ladies have pictures too. we do like to see your pretty faces and your furbabies, etc).
