Betweenthelines , good job! I was going to get a burger for lunch but doubled down and made myself a chicken and veggie bowl this morning to bring. Getting old and fat sucks.

Hopefully the good news keeps coming: my parents house & boat in Cape Coral, FL are fine! No power at all, but thankfully my dad can go into his procedure with a little less stress.

armpants , he's supposed to go in at 1. I haven't gotten a text from my mom yet. You know how hospitals are though- 1pm probably means 3pm actual Plan is to pick up the kids, bring them home and then head up to the hospital. H insisted, so he is solo for dinner and bedtime with the kids. I was not in a good headspace yesterday trying to weigh out how I can do all the things at home and still somehow make it up there tonight. But h is my savior, as per.

mrspiatt I think we disconnected ours for some reason a while back and still haven't replaced it...we should get on that... I just put it back up and nothing... so, I'm taking a shower and getting in with my day. ETA... we had ours down for over a year at one point and put it back up when A was born. I don't remember why we took it down. Fun story: When H and I were away on a work trip, our hot water heater exploded and flooded the upper basement. When our neighbors heard what happened, they had a plumber come out and look at theirs. He turned off the pilot light and didn't turn off the gas. Their CO2 alarms went off and when the fire dept arrived, their house registered at 83% CO2. Please put the alarm back up.

So... BP is okay, but swelling is bad this morning and the headache won't quit. There's also protein in my urine. Waiting to see the doctor than likely having a blood draw to check for Pre- E.

librarylady, I'm sorry A has been having a hard time with preschool. Do you know if she has a good time once she's there, and it's just the getting there that's rough, or is it hard for her the whole time? It was the whole time, until today. They reported that she had a great day and seemed to only really have cried at drop off. Which is wonderful! I can deal if she cries at drop off as long as I know she is fine once leave.

That's good that things are improving for her librarylady! P still has a lot of rough drop offs, which is hard, but I know that she has a good time once I am gone.

I need to go maternity shopping for some cooler weather clothes. It is in the sixties here now and the only maternity things I have are shorts, yoga pants and sun dresses. I need to get some jeans and maybe a few sweaters/warm tops. Also, I weight same now as I did when I gave birth to A. I have over 7 weeks to go...

librarylady, the weight just seems to pile on much quicker after the first. I only gained 10lbs with dd and then gained 20lbs + a crazy amount of stretchmarks with ds.

Betweenthelines yeah I have gained thirty so far, so probably will have gained close to forty by the time it's all said and done. I'm surprisingly OK with it though. I still feel good about how I look and how much exercise I'm getting. I could definitely eat better, but I'm pregnant so I eat what I want, haha. I'll just join the healthy living threads and challenges in a few months!

Haven't been on much the last few days, we've been staying really busy with soccer and getting the house ready for our kids' party. Hope everyone is doing well! Still a busy week prepping everything, so I'm not sure how much I'll be on. Next year I'm doing their party at a park

Glad your H has your back Betweenthelines. Hugs and I hope you've heard from your mom by now. Nothing new. He went in around 1, takes an hour to prep then another 4 or so for the actual surgery. He may even still be in there or just getting out by the time I get up there around 530/6 so I probably won't even see him tonight. But I'm going up tonight more for my mom, to bring her food and company. I took off tomorrow, so I'll go back up there tomorrow morning. I scheduled myself a wax for tomorrow afternoon. I'm so overdue and I need a little pampering/pick me up after all this.

coconutbacon no idea. They haven't revealed the identity of the shooter, only the girl's name and that he has confessed & been charged for her death.

Why does every apartment live in need a roof replacement? DH & I have lived in 4 different apartments together and EVERY SINGLE ONE has had its roof replaced. In the first one, it was nbd. But in all other cases, it means no babies will nap for a week while it's going on. They just started on our roof today. H is so tired & cranky but will not sleep.

I am also really happy. I have 3 bosses and the one I work with the most pulled me in today to say he appreciates me and that he had been bugging the other 2 to give me a raise before I asked for it. So that was nice to know! Things are definitely crazy around here, but it makes a big difference when it's a supportive environment.

I'm shaking. DS rode his bike and I pushed the girls in the stroller to go play at the park after school. You have to cross the street right at the entrance of the park, the light turned red and our "walk" sign came on, but a girl blew through the red light and missed DS by like 6 inches. People were screaming and she was totally oblivious. I'm trying to calm down but holy shit.
