I scheduled my next 3 OB appointments. I go in 3 weeks, then every 2 weeks until the end of may. Then I go weekly until she comes. I told the doctor about my dream. She laughed but reassured me there should be no reason I can't vbac again. I plan to eat a whole pineapple a day starting the day before my due date. Just to be sure I go into labor by myself lol.

Morning! It’s been a weird wednesday. I woke up not feeling great and work has been odd. I had a list of things to try to do today and of course I didn’t write it down so now I can’t think of anything. Story of my life...

I feel like I’ve lived through 3 full days. Apparently, it was a vole. They are typically outside pests who like to bother with your garden, but somehow this one must have found his way into the garage, and eaten a little bit of the mouse trap bait and struggled because of it.
I’m glad it’s over but it doesn’t sound like we’ll have another one of these little critters in.

lfig, could be either. Will she let you pet her? If you feel around on her belly and it's more bumpy than solid, then she's pregnant. We have 2 cats. One is super snuggly and loveable. But not this one. It won’t hardly let us touch her. And the few times we have, we’ve been scratched pretty good, not because she’s hateful, she just panics and freaks out. But she likes to be near us...just not close enough to touch. |

Better than another c section! Are you sure? Lol After delivering both ways, I can't say that I wouldn't be devastated if I had to have another c section. And I had a relatively easy experience. But after delivering vaginally, there's just no comparison. At least for me and in my situation. |

I would hold back on binging that much pineapple in favor of walking a lot peachsmama. Or, but that stage, waddling a lot. |

16 yo me is fangirling. I bought tickets to see Boyz II Men and 98 Degrees (don't care much about the latter--other than Nick Lachey they are showing their age) this fall.

inthekitty lol, that's awesome. I remember thinking Boys2Men was so scandalous (I would listen to it at my friend's house--she had an older sister, lol) Speaking of the 90s, B has been *obsessed* with Space Jam the last few days. The music definitely takes me back.

Well, it started snowing around 11:30. I went home for lunch and with almost no visibility on my way back, decided. screw it. Got my stuff at the office to work from home for the afternoon, picked up the kids came back home. They are in their room and now our internet isn’t working, so i May have an unexpected afternoon off.
We probably have over 2 inches in less than 2 hours. I’m going to reschedule Hs well child visit tomorrow and I do not plan on leaving the house until Friday morning in protest of this crap

Madison said something about it the other day and I was confused thinking the name was recycled for something unrelated. Nope--Michael Jordan and Loony Tunes. We listened to the soundtrack together and I got to enjoy a delectable LL Cool J and Busta Rhymes compilation. |

Aliens, Looney Tunes and basketball...he's been in heaven. I actually never saw it as a kid but have seen it 5x this week, so I think I made up for lost time. I was cracking up at one point, though; Michael's getting ready for a game eating McD's fries and a coke. His agent comes in and is like, "Time to play...we'll get you a BigMac on the way". Nice little product placement there 😏 I had to explain who Michael Jordan was and how he was so good, he has SHOES named after him, lol. |

And I gained 7lbs in the past month, no wonder I've been feeling like a fat sack of fat.. Dr didn't seem to care since I didn't gain huge amounts last time, just reminded me to workout more and eat healthy food. Maybe nightly ice cream needs to trimmed to every other night 🙄.

Hey girls! Dude is supposed to buy lunch for the first time ever today, but in true helicopter fashion, I still packed him something JIC. I’m the worst. That story about the vole has me very nervous. Hope the kids are feeling better soon, wineallthetime! inthekitty too funny. How weird that she thought she could be convincing. |

We found the cutest dog running in our industrial park when we came back from lunch. I wish he could have stayed longer before Animal Control picked him up. I hope he finds his family.   |

If it’s your last pregnancy, then I say screw it and enjoy your nightly ice cream. I would agree with that, depending how hard you’re going to want to work to lose it later. Each pregnancy saw me gain more weight than the last even though my diet improved significantly over time. Atticus - omnivore, 21 pounds (he’s built from cheeseburgers and Ben and Jerry’s) Xander - junk food vegan, 30 pounds(he was made almost entirely from jalapeño chips) Poppy - clean eating vegan, 37 pounds (and she was six weeks early) |

He ate all of our ice cream, chocolate, and cheese. And he's not even pregnant. He did leave behind pesto sauce and liquid cannabis though. |

I still ate a ton of Reece’s pumpkins and eggs with H and soft pretzels with S. I think you probably have some control over your weight gain but based on your eating habits I think your body just gains what it needs for the baby. |

My child is made of ranch dressing, spaghettio's, and Lucky Charms. And she loves every single one of those!
ETA: I did NOT eat those things simultaneously!

Seriously. It’s a struggle. I eat so super clean most of the time, there’s not much left to do but literally starve myself. “Don’t drink juice or soda, take the stairs, watch added sugar.” Like, no shit? I’ve done all those things for the last twenty years. |

And I should add, my diet wasn’t inherently unhealthy with Atticus because it wasn’t plant-based, I just ate crap because I could. 🤷♀️
