I now have a nice big hole in my kitchen ceiling, which at some point will have to get bigger before it gets better. At least its not dripping water anymore. I swear, I am now traumatized by the sound of dripping water. Anyway, some pipe fittings will need to be eventually replaced and a good portion of the ceiling will have to be ripped out and re-done. Argh. We just spent money on a new dishwasher (our old one bit the dust) and a generator in case the power goes out again. My bank account is sobbing.
But my morning sickness seems to be a tad better, so?

$256 later, cats are re-treated hoping I get my money back for the stuff I bought at the pet store.

I think we are starting to win our battle against the ants too! We put down some liquid bait traps, one right over where they were swarming on a crumb. Countless ants went after the bait. We have *intentionally* left crumbs from the kids on the ground for a few hours to see if any ants would come for them and we haven't seen anything!

I really just posted those gifs for me so I can look at them while I don't do any work. But you're welcome if you like them too.

girlonabike, it's nice to see you around again. I'm glad your morning sickness is getting better, even if it's just slightly.

welcome to the jax is hot club Betweenthelines . oh i remember falling hard for him when SOA first came out. I never finished the series...i need to do that. Do yourself a favor and don't finish the series. Remember it fondly instead. Seriously, the ending is AWFUL. TERRIBLE. The show really went downhill.

librarylady adding to what others said, this baby will be different than your first. You may not (fx) have to sleep train. We really only had to do that with DD2. You'll find your groove and your DD1 may surprise you! Both times I was really worried about jealousy issues bc my girls are CLINGY to me. And both times I've been impressed with how well they've done! That's encouraging to hear. A is very jealous and possessive of me. She flips if I hold another kid. So I hope that she will also surprise me.

Man, just checking in...we've got a lot going on today. Sorry for those dealing with pests or house disasters. shellyr , what's your plan on sleep training? Is your older one out of a crib already? I'm trying to figure out how we'll handle it. We have to do something but not until after our trip to Iceland. girlonabike , we went through a major war with water our first year in the house. It was seriously one thing after another, all having to do with water. Water seems so innocuous, right?! I had an OB appt this morning, it went well. I saw a different doc at the practice, he was nice. He was having a hard time seeing my records so I just explained everything to him and managed to keep it together pretty well. We didn't do an u/s, he suggested it might be a good idea to wait a little longer (until my next scheduled appt at MFM) and maybe by then the cystic hygroma will have resolved itself. They did find the hb on the Doppler almost immediately, so that was awesome and reassuring. We then had a pool date and all was going well among the 5 moms (2 nursing and 3 gestating) and the 7 children/babies until we had a simultaneous poop explosion from the 18 month old and one of the 2 year olds jumped in the deep end without any flotation device and his mom had to run over and retrieve him. I wouldn't call it a near drowning or anything b/c the mom had her eye on him but it scared us all a bit. After that all happened, we called it a day. Um...and I am making hot dogs and french fries for lunch. Eeek, what is happening to me?! ETA: just so no one side eyes me...they are "healthy" hot dogs with no nitrates or nitrites!

librarylady, I have some of your same worries. We'll figure it out! And rely on other moms to give us advice when we need it!

easternshoregirl, do you need another crib? How do you feel about a gently chewed one?

Had a playdate at an indoor play place with a friend. A and her little buddy were so cute holding hands every where. A kept telling her "I love you so much" I need to shop for, make, and bring cheese enchiladas and guacamole to a friend who recently had a baby. I have this feeling I am going to forget and remember in the middle of the night and feel awful since today is the day I signed up for on her meal train. This friend said that we will need to make a meal train for me when I have W and I'm here thinking....yeah...I don't have enough friends for that, haha. She has all these friends because she is from here and she does this thing called Stroller Strides where she met a lot of other moms. I have like, 3 pretty good friends, 1 just getting to know you friend and that's it.

He didn't say tummy ache but since he sounds like a whiny little boy, I'm going to use childish words.
