I'm nervous to weigh Corinne today. She didn't really gain the week before last so I'm hoping for some ounces this week. I've become a bit obsessed with her weight gain.
Dh wants to lay a massive drop cloth around our livingroom this weekend in prep for potty training. I think that's a bit ridiculous and our house will end up looking like a serial killers work room.

I am obsessed with that angel food mug cake. I mixed up the 2 boxes of cake mix and put it in a container yesterday. Having it right there makes me want it all of the time. I am about to make my fourth one.
1. Had my OB appt and GD test today. Doctor mentioned I had a big gain this month, so I broke down and asked my total gain. I haven't been tracking and he said that was awesome, by gave me my total gain anyways-22 lbs. with J I only gained 25. He told me that he isn't worried at all, just make sure I'm balancing empty carbs with more exercise/foods with actual nutrients. Which, my bad, I've been eating like crap for about two weeks. So I'll just be more conscious. He was also totally ok with my upcoming vacation and told me to grab a copy of my records so far at my next appt. He also calmed DH down a lot about it.
My next appt is in three weeks (the day before I leave) and then the following will be right after I get back, because after the one three weeks from now I'm already at bi weekly appt! Going.too.fast.
2. I need some ideas for freezer meals for DH. I will be gone for three weeks, and while he's a very capable and self sufficient man, he will not eat unless I leave food. He cannot seem to handle grocery shopping or meal prep. So I need single serve things that he can just heat up. Preferably for both breakfast and dinners. He loves Mexican food, Italian, and won't go near vegetarian options, and can eat the same thing for days. So hit me up.

Speaking of weight gain... I've only gained 9 lbs this pregnancy. That's how sick I was. I'm 30 weeks with 9 lbs gained. With wy I gained 40 lbs total. I do t think I'm going to gain 31 lbs in the next 10 weeks. I want to at least look pregnant ya know? And my Dr is a bit concerned with it as well considering that I'm still battling low amniotic fluid and all. I'm trying but can only eat so much food these days and it isn't a lot. Blah. And to make things clear, I'm not bragging, I'm complaining.
@dragonmommy422 I think you look amazing. You could gain 70lbs this pregnancy and still look amazing. You're over half way there. I would give my left arm to look half as good as you do right now.

Awe thanks!
I really hope you feel better now. And I'm sure you look positively beautiful.
Happy Friday! I'm waiting on a call back from the nurse before I figure out my day. I'd rather not make the trip back to the doctors (20 minutes away) but will if they want to see her again. Damn croup.
I bought myself a colouring book yesterday. I love it.
Today is V (vasectomy) day! I just dropped H off and now both boys are napping in the car, I guess I should wake them to run my errands, but it's quiet!
H asked for a tub of chocolate ice cream but he loves DQ ice cream cakes so I might grab him one of those. Would it be inappropriate to have them write "sorry about your nuts" on the cake?

Good luck with the weigh in for her!
We have wood floors here. They're not in the greatest shape so we didn't have to do much floor prep to potty train, but I did roll up my living room rug and put it away for a bit. That turned out to be a good idea when she made a huge puddle where the rug would have been yesterday. Lol. And I'm loling at "serial killers work room"
We have hardwoods too that were just refinished which is why he wants to lay the drop cloth. We will definitely be rolling up our area rug.
Whenever I start to to think I can rely on my IL's again they let me down. Colin has a last minute eval today and I asked FIL if he could watch Oliver for ONE HOUR so I didn't have to wrangle him around and could give Colin and the speech pathologist my full attention. Oliver is just a wild hard to tame beast, lol. So my FIL says "Well, it's Friday and I need to get my hair cut and my coupon expires today! I don't want to go in the afternoon so morning is my only option."
For real guys, the man is BALD, and is not going to help he out because of a $5 coupon. Fuck that noise!
I've decided I need to retire. For my health. I e lost 5lbs this week and the only thing different about my habits is that I haven't had the stress of work. Stress and lack of sleep make me fatter. Now if I could only win the lottery, I might be skinny.
I put off (read: lazy) calling about getting L into preschool in our park district, and now the only times available are 12:15-2:15. That's nap time. So I'm wondering if I should skip signing him up this year, or have him go during those times and risk having him be tired and grumpy at school. Plus, I don't want to lose nap time!
for summer or fall? he might be done napping by fall. is there a waitlist?

So every other Friday we go to get donuts. Every time we come the place is crawling with elderly people. They all gush over Peyton and my belly and I just want to scream. Can I just stuff my face in peace without having to thank people every 5 seconds for calling my child cute? Last week one of them legit came and sat down with us and chatted for a good 10mins.
What about stuffed shells, manicotti, or enchiladas? You can make a couple 9x13 pans and then portion them into servings for him.
Crockpot meals you can make big batches and portion into single servings: Cilantro lime chicken with black beans and corn Chili Black bean and salsa chicken Chicken cacciatore

or sorrynotsorry. Happy healing! It was a fairly easy process for my husband.

my mom went out on disability from teaching recently and has lost 15 lbs and counting. Amazing what stress reduction helps with.
I keep having so many Braxton hicks and it's such a mindfuck. Every day I think I might be in very early labor and then it peters out. 38 weeks today. I had may at 39.
