pippiann unfortunately we didn't have flood insurance so we will just buy new stuff. flippinchica the gas issue is so ridiculous. Luckily We filled up before the storm plus H drives a Volt so we have an electric option! My parents waited over an hour and a half to fill up. I'm so sorry. I'm from Houston and my family is all still there. They are fine but I have several friends whose houses are so bad they literally lost everything and will need new walls, floors, doors, windows, duct work, etc., and they also didn't have flood insurance. I can't even fathom how they will make that work financially. It's so sad. Of course the important thing is that they are safe, but it's still devastating.

I'm so tired of pissing myself every time I cough too hard or choke on something.

Yes, the gas thing is so ridiculous. We are pretty far away from the area really affected but the gas stations are mob scenes. I got gas friday so that helps but I have about half a tank left. i actually slept OK last night. I'm on call today so we will see if I end up needing to work..

Good morning! We are up and ready for the day. We are waiting for G's speech therapist. Then when he is done with his session we are going shopping! I need to buy pull ups and G needs clothes for the fall. She has no pants! She spent the summer in capris and shorts so now she needs pants. She starts at the early intervention center tomorrow. I am excited for her.

Pretty sure I have internal hemorrhoids. I had external hemorrhoids postpartum which where the worst part of recovery for me.
I've been taking stool softener daily and try my best not to strain so I thought I was doing my best to avoid them.
Does this mean they will be inflamed the rest of my pregnancy? The thought of that makes me want to cry.

We went camping for one night in the white mountains, my grandparents have a seasonal camper that we've been going to since I was like 8 years old. They are selling it this year, so this was the last time we will be going up there. It was kinda depressing! Today I don't think we are doing much, and DS has preschool orientation tomorrow. I'm a little nervous for him to start on Thursday but I think he will love it.

Hi all! Just hanging out. Dinner at my parents was nice and lovely. But pregnancy hormone nightmares are back and I woke up twice last night that something horrible happened to my DD. I hate it. I hate this hormone stuff does that and I had borderline PPA last time re : constantly seeing awful things happen to her in my head and I'm not sure I can do it again.
Today is a lot of clean up at home basically. In less than 2 weeks I will be at my ILs hopefully on waterfront property in NC so that's what I'm counting down to (pending Irma doesn't make a huge impact in their town). I just have to get thru the next 2 weeks with work.. Life.. Schoolwork.. Oh man.

sweetsurprise flippinchica helloerrbody thinking about you and/or your friends and family. I keep thinking of everyone with young kids or the moms that had newborns/gave birth. This is one of those things where it makes me realize my bad days this week weren't so bad.

We have had a great weekend. DH's brother and his long time gf visited and they had so much fun with DD - they don't see her much. Then today H and I took DD to Sesame and it was great. Now she is napping, DH is watching nascar and I'm debating doing something productive. My MIL took our dog yesterday and he is going to stay with her for the next 5 weeks! I cried of course. I miss him so much already even though he's the biggest pain in the ass. It just works out that since we are doing a lot of traveling the next 5 weeks or so its better for him to stay with her then we don't have to pay $700 or so in boarding costs

It sounds like you have a very special relationship with your mom. Glad you got to spend some time with your family this weekend. I live a block from my parents and I know I take it for granted.

Princess Charlotte was born 4 days before G was born. My aunt always jokes that someone in her family is always pregnant the same time as a royal. Her sister had a baby within three weeks of prince william being born. My cousin was born 9 days before prince Harry. And I had a baby four days after charlotte was born. The only one that we don't have a birthday near (as far as I know) is Prince George.

Just saw Princess Kate is pregnant again! Texted my family earlier that since our due dates would probably be close, this increased the chances of our kids being best friends one day 😛

And hi! I haven't checked in this weekend. We're hanging out at my parents farm this weekend. Went to the lake Saturday for a beach day, then the kids did some combining that night with my dad. Took DS to a birthday party yesterday and then had some football to watch. Still here today, but heading back to our place later. We live pretty close, just hadn't spent a lot of time here lately!
We are a Canadian Football league house (Riders win this weekend whoop!) but for American college have a spot for the UW Huskies because we have good friends in Seattle who are hardcore and they took us to a game once.

Also thinking of everyone dealing with any sort of the stress around Texas. I have a good friend in Houston and while she's not in a flooded area, still been going through a lot of emotions and being stuck inside. It would be so hard.

Does anyone here college football? Tell me your team if you do! I am ashamed to admit it during football season but we are an Iowa State Cyclones house. Come back for basketball season and I'll be more confident 😂 I'm a Jayhawk. I can commiserate with the basketball versus football season situation.

MIZ-ZOU! Go Tigers! I'm a tiger and my husband is a Jayhawks fan, so we are a house divided. It's not as bad anymore now that they are in different conferences and don't play each other. It's hard to be a football fan of either of team though. They can be difficult to watch. 🐯 We went to the zoo this morning and all DS wanted to do was ride the train and the carrousel. He could have cared less about the animals. The big cats were all out and about, so that made the trip for me. I will sit on your bench of Jayhawks hate. They are the one team we have a chance of beating every football season and of course are one of my favorite matchups to watch in basketball season! Maybe we can't be friends. ROCK CHALK! 😂
