Ha! Then, in response, my lame confession is that I'm so happy that DD2 liked MAMs instead of the other brands of pacifiers because I think they're ridiculously cute :-)
I want to re-buy all new baby stuff for baby 2. Crib, dresser, swing, nursing pillow, plus rock-n-lay and other things I never had with L. SO far all I've bought is a kick-n-play piano. But the retail storm is coming.
I want to fly solo to NYC with M to see my bff. H would prefer to go and now we have to look at his schedule. I wanted to start a girls trip tradition with her.

I'm swapping out J's clothes for the next size even though he still fits into the smaller stuff. I'm just sick of him wearing the same outfits, and I want to put him in more outfits.
I also dropped $27 on 2 shirts and suspenders at H&M for my baby. I rationalize the non-MMM purchase based on the free convertible car seats I'm getting today.

DD does not like Peanut Butter
I have never seen her eat it before. I guess with all these nut rules she just never ate a PB&J. She has however had a Jelly sandwhich which I am sure is like carb heaven.
She also loves Goldfish and sugary cereals like Apple Jacks.
My DS threw a tantrum for Froot Loops in the grocery store last weekend. I didn't buy them... because they weren't on sale and he doesn't want them unless it's the actual Toucan on the box. I will buy them next time I see a box on sale, and I'll remember to keep the box to hide generic cereal in later.
I once fed my camp kids generic corn pops in a brand name corn pops box for the entire summer.
FIL is coming over for dinner tonight. We're still fighting jetlag and our dishwasher stopped working this morning. I really want to cancel dinner. But I won't.

My 15 month old walked into the living room first thing this morning and by the time I chased after her she had crammed some M&M's into her mouth that DH had left sitting on the coffee table last night. Not regular M&M's, but these new huge ones that are definite choking hazards. She was pissed when I made her spit them out :-)
On that note, I just ate like half a bag of mini M&M's for my lunch. (My grocery had sale on M&M's but all the regular ones were gone!)
I know my kid is probably within the realm of normal, but DD2's talking is so far behind what DD1's was at the same age that I'm going to talk to her doctor at her next well visit about whether she qualifies for EI. My BFF (who is a speech pathologist) told me I'm being ridiculous, but I'm still going to ask the doc :-)
I fed DD2 goldfish for a solid 15 minutes after she finished eating her regular lunch because I wanted to sit beside her and play on the internet longer :-)

Is it weird that the lamest part about this is that your H wants to go? If I told my husband I was taking the kid and going on vacation with a friend, he would be OVERJOYED to have that time alone.
I really like MAMs. I think Wubbanubs look weird with a whole stuffed animal hanging off their face.
Lame confession: I'm getting kind of depressed about this pregnancy. Everyone was so excited and happy when I was PG with C and with this kid it seems like the only comments I get are negative: "whoa, two boys, good luck;" or "you're going to have your hands full" and stuff. How about you STFU and say congratulations?

Haha no that's exactly what I meant! Why does he want to go?
Every time I read "It's what works for our family" I roll my eyes. And it's not that I think people should have to justify themselves for their choices when it comes to anything parenting related, I just hate the cop out.

That happened over here too. I had a random nurse during my H's oral surgery say "Well you'll have to stay at home now since you have two young ones...especially boys and there is no way you'll be able to work." WTF?

So far I am disappointed on the reactions to being pregnant with my second too! My In-laws barely ask how I am with this pregnancy and called weekly last time. Granted I was sick of answering their calls but I feel like this child is already getting the short end of the stick. Also lame that I want a baby shower and it doesn't look like I will get one for this baby. I know it's my second but it is a boy which means I still need all new clothes, boy blankets and other items I didn't get for my first but likely want for this one.

You're creeping past lame and into flameworthy territory.

Yeah I have received NO offfer of a baby shower. Part of me is okay with this but the part is sad a little. 5 years a part and all. Not even like a diaper party or something.
FTR, I have no interest in a second shower and would decline one. I just want people to stop giving me horrified looks when I tell them I'm having my second boy.

This is part of the reason this time around we are team green. Regardless people are still not as excited. My parents are finally starting to get excited and I'm about 34 weeks. Hugs, I know that's annoying. Everyone will change their tune when the baby arrives.

DS is refusing to nap, which means he will be cranky later. But I don't want him to get the idea that naps are a sometimes activity. So he's been in his crib playing for an hour. Since he's not upset about it, I'm keeping him in there until at least 3:00 p.m. He typically naps from 2:00 until 3:30 p.m.
I feel better than expected lately, but I'm letting DH do a lot of the nightly cleaning and cooking because, well, I'm feeling lazy and as soon as the baby gets here I'll be nursing round the clock.
Further lame confession: I just missed yoga because I COMPLETELY FORGOT. This despite having it in my calendar and remembering to wear a yoga-friendly bra this morning.
