You know the drill. Post some pictures people!

At dinner last night, attempting to sit in a high chair.
Just over 7 months old! He's been in a great mood lately. I think he's actually enjoying daycare now and he's finally sleeping and eating better there now. Looking forward to the weather getting nicer so we can get outside a little more.

We were in Nevada last week to visit family (my dad retired as moved to watch my nephew). This is at the Venetian hotel.

Here we all are!

17w5d here, and feeling huge. My scrubs are in and wearing them today, and OMG what a difference! So much more comfortable. I don't think I realized how UNcomfortable I was!

M is getting bigger, talking a LOT (now saying "Oh God!" thanks to Daddy), and just being very entertaining. I was asking her what songs she wanted me to sing to her last night, and she wanted a 'boobie song' and a 'poopy song'. Yeah, she's her father's kid. LOL She cracked herself up asking me for those songs, by the way.

And update on the marriage front - we had a long discussion and it seems like things are better for now. I got a book at Barnes and Noble last night and we're going to read it together, and hopefully we can make some changes on our own to help us cope with our stresses without taking them out on each other (what I think is the source of our issues right now). Counseling isn't off the table, but on a back burner for now.

I took this yesterday. I already feel huge - I don't even want to know what August is going to be like.

Boy is 4.5 mos, bjl is almost 25mos.

Mil has been taking boy on Monday and Tuesday while I keep bjl during the day. So far, he still prefers screaming and starving to death instead of taking a bottle. It was like magic for bjl on the 3rd day, so hoping he realizes grandma isn't trying to kill him today.

I've narrowed down boys allergies to milk, soy, eggs (not seafood). But the egg is also hard to avoid as it's in a lot of Asian foods as a bonding agent or marinade. I'm keeping up this diet and will be reintroducing (non-food) things in the next week or so to see if it affects his skin. (Cutting Vaseline, the extra laundry rinses, and cotton-only clothing).

I spent 3 nights away from bjl when I was in nv to jump start the weaning/sleeping on her own, but no dice. Opposite effect, and she's afraid I'm going to leave her again so she sleeps on top of me and nurses all day/night, barely eating non-boob. She keeps the boob in her mouth for hours, and will just play with her fingers. It's flattering, but I think I will need to (really) start realizing she may be nursing until kindergarten. I wonder what it will be like when I go back to work (2 weeks, eek!)

twins are 6mo 2 days. ah. i can't believe it! k is allergic to something. he has a rash every where. they have their appts for shots this week. hopefully we'll figure it out.

[mrslefty]

sarack I can't believe it's been 6 months!
picksthemusic and toratoratori you guys look so cute!
jennlin I love your second pic! He is such a happy boy!


I had my first stranger ask when I am due so I am happy to have gone from "probably fat but maybe pregnant" to "Probably pregnant maybe fat" okay still overweight but the belly looks baby-ish
Other than that I am trying to control my sweet tooth (HOLY HELL! I do NOT need to eat all the donuts!) but nothing else new. Aside from some rough jabs to my bladder that send me running to the bathroom ASAP lol.

Isaiah is 6.5 months now. Growing so fast! He's such a happy baby and I just love being with him. He's giggling a ton, rolling everywhere, and can stand while holding to the couch.
And be has his two front bottom teeth!!

The pic doesn't work!! I want to see yo belly!

I will probably be nine months preggers before anyone realizes I'm pregnant, not fat. Starting off overweight has its perks (I've actually lost five lbs. since getting pregnant) but also its downsides (people just think that I really have been eating all of the donuts).

fixed! I hope!
I lost 16lbs at first, then gained that all back from christmas-mid Feb and I have been at my pre pregnancy weight since then. I think a lot of that weight loss was just being really dehydrated. Especially since I didn't really eat until Februaryish but was able to keep down lots more liquid. I am not one of those women who enjoys being pregnant...

I can't believe J is almost 3 months already. I'm so sad this stage is going so fast. M is doing good and growing so much. Besides that nothing real exciting this week. Here's a picture from yesterday I put J in the stroller for a few minutes while I poop scooped the back yard lol, she seemed to like it but she seems to like anything that moves her.

Yay! It works! I'm selectively choosing to ignore the Seahawks shirt, though

I don't know why I've been losing weight. I (luckily) didn't have any morning sickness, and I feel like I've been eating normally. I think my body is just doing so much work cooking this baby that it's burning off calories on its own. SO MAGICAL.

H had to buy me that since my hawks won and his broncos...got bamboozled. The nicest thing I will say about the niners is that they also would have stomped on the Broncos. 

Also, this is the shittiest weight loss plan evah! I *still* throw up a few times a week, just not 15 times a day now :/

Blerggg I'm sorry you're still having morning sickness. If it makes you feel any better, while I didn't suffer from morning sickness, I have recently developed RLS (restless leg syndrome). It's apparently a pretty common side effect of pregnancy, and I'm genetically predisposed (my mom has it). So I haven't really been sleeping through the night (separate from the potty breaks). Pregnancy is so fun! :\

Bkb is 2 and 4 months. We moved her to a toddler bed on Sunday. She loves it. No problems. In a way it's easier to get her to go to bed.

We also got rid of bink a week ago. No problems with that either.

She's growing up the only thing left is underwear. She seems pretty content wearing diapers so while she has progress, she's still not there yet.

Are you guys still thinking one and done? I feel like when Blb is around 2.5 I'll consider getting PG again...possibly a little later. Just wondering if your perspective has changed with Bkb growing up and becoming from independent.

We still aren't sure if we'll have another. There was definitely a turning point at about 22 months where I felt like I could manage two. Right now if we were certain we wanted a second daycare costs is stopping us. We would have to play ft. Daycare for newborn plus care for bkb. Since we still aren't certain I'm not worrying about it right now.
