I didn't like the dinner I made tonight (pesto chicken spaghetti squash) because I used chicken thighs (don't like the texture) & too much pesto. So I had Canadian bacon, grapes and a dark chocolate kind bar.
Ds1 loves cooking with me so I'm trying to involve him in more food prep (he helped make the pesto today).
Our effing video monitor broke tonight. It's 3.5 years old so I shouldn't be surprised but still. H is all, "meh, let's take our time and wait for a sale" whereas I'm freaking out because P's medical stuff puts him at risk of seizure so I NEED the peace of mind. So I've been running around all night looking for a good deal on something so H will agree but no dice.
I want to cry. Dd was so naughty and mean today. 4 people told me I look ready to have the baby any day, they're lucky I didn't hit them. I gained a ridiculous amount of weight in a week and I'm congested and sleeping even worse than usual. We did pick an induction date so that's cool. If I do the induction he will probably share a birthday with my brother which would be cool.

I feel like they never go on sale. Hope you can get one soon

I'm not sure how helpful this will be since I know you want to get one quickly, but we bought ours on woot kids for a pretty good price. I feel like I see them on there fairly frequently, but it's probably once a month or so. It's a summer infant and I think we paid around $129. It stopped working last year and they sent us a new one no questions asked which I thought was awesome.

Honestly, this is the rare instance I wouldn't care about my husband's opinion. I'd just go out and buy a monitor.

I'm sorry BRU has a 15% off a baby item that they scanned for me this weekend if that helps.

I was about to say the same thing. My kid doesn't have P's medical issues, but I can't hear him from our bedroom so when ours broke I ordered a new one with one-day shipping before I even told H it was broken.
Should we buy Cars 2 or Planes for Bas? He got weirdly into airplanes recently but I dunno if that's gonna last. (We'll definitely be getting the original Cars movie.)
Cars 2. No doubt. Much better plot, action, jokes. It's DS's favorite movie. Planes is pretty much the exact same plot as Cars 1, just with a plane instead of a car. It's..not Pixar's best work, that's for sure. Planes 2 sucks even more.

We have Cars and Cars 2. I just asked DD and she declared that she likes Cars 2 better. So?

I actually prefer Planes but I find Mater extremely tiresome and Cars 2 centers around him. My 3.5yo likes them equally.

I find Chug to be a lame knockoff of Mater. They're both tiresome, I agree. DS loves Lightning McQueen the best by far.
This is totally random, but doesn't deserve its own thread.
A few weeks ago Ashley&Scott posted an article about microagressions. I shared it with one of my professors (she teachers a class I'm in on leading diversity, and we're spending a lot of time on white privilege), and she totally used it in our class! Thanks ashley&scott!!!!

I think I have a $10 rewards credit at BRU. You're welcome to use it (I can pm you my cell number).
It took a little over 5 months this time but we had the "we don't have enough sex" fight. I think we resolved it but I'm still cranky it even came up. Ugh

DD and I both have a stomach bug - omg, misery. I felt completely fine all day, visited my newborn nephew, then got home in the evening and suddenly got knocked flat, followed by DD a little later. I'm so glad I coated myself with hand sanitizer at the visit and only held the baby for a couple of minutes. FX no one there (or H or DS) catches anything. It really caught us completely by surprise.
I used to wonder why some parents refused to do CIO, and then I became a parent who refuses to do CIO. J insists on having one of us in the room until he falls asleep now. He always went down perfectly on his own, no matter how awake he was when we laid him down. Now it's a battle because he wants to pull up on the crib and walk around it, but he insists on having an audience. We were debating whether to let him cry a bit tonight (night four of demanding our presence to watch him fall asleep), and we lasted three seconds. I went in to rub his back, and when that didn't work, H rocked him to sleep. We are probably creating a monster. But he's so cute and he never cuddles during the day, so it's kind of nice.
We had his baptism meeting tonight with the pastor, and I might be starting a MOPS group for working moms. They only have weekday daytime options for moms groups, and I told him that working moms need community and support too. He agreed and invited me to start something at the church, and they would happily provide the room space and promote it. I'm just not sure I have the time or energy, but I really would like to do it!
krystee - that's great about the working moms MOPS group. We just started one at our church this month. We are just meeting once a month at 7pm. But it's so nice to have that evening option.

Sleep lady shuffle may work - it's when you sit in a chair and every night move it closer to the door when they are going to bed. We never got to that point where we needed to do it, but I have heard it works well.
