I realize this isn't clear at all. Usually she is in day care from 7 or 8 AM to 4:30 or 5 pm. Her preschool is from 9-12, and DCP drops off and picks up.

Nope, my first time with GD, DS was a naturally big baby. Yeah had whole diet meeting, and got told which are the better things etc. I eat a lot of pasta based meals so I've got to change that to whole meal (luckily it's shopping day on Wednesday) and add more veg. My portion sIzes are small as I literally haven't got the room! That's the literally only plus is that I get to meet her sooner if I do have it. I love pasta and have had a REALLY hard time with this whole GD thing because of that. I find I can have a cup of whole wheat pasta mixed with veggies, cheese, etc. and be just fine on my blood sugars. It doesn't seem like much but when you bulk it up, I can barely know the difference. Just be careful with what sauces you are using. If you can find a tomato without sugar, that would be best. Those tomato sauces are one of those damn tricky hidden sugars things. I like creamy sauces so I am kind of shit out of luck for a while. My current favorite pasta fix is a cold salad made of whole wheat rotini, black olives and mozzarella cheese topped with italian dressing. I can throw some chopped chicken or sauteed shrimp in after I measure my cup out to bulk it up. That sounds yummy. Luckily with the sauces, I tend to make my own. Started doing that when we were weaning DS as I hated giving him to much unnecessary crap

I make something similar for MH but add in chopped pepperoni or salami, cucumbers, and bell peppers to bulk it up too.

I'm in the national capital region. It's perpetually worse weather here than surrounding areas, but I think all of eastern Ontario is miserable right now, haha. I think the whole NE is fucked right now It is. Our high for today is 91 and I get full afternoon sun through a wall of windows and have no air conditioning. I'm ready to punch things I'm so hot and cranky and sweaty. My room always warms up over the air temperature so yeah, it's fucking miserable. Same for tomorrow and Wednesday. Just miserable.

TMI: Anyone else taking like massive poops? Like holy mother of God, where was all that poop in me? The poor toilet. I'm over the gas and contractions it causes but I know it could be worse. I'd rather be going than not going.

Hi friends! It's dd's second birthday today. Her party was a success this weekend. Dh and I are giving her one more little celebration tonight with mac and cheese and cake. After today, I really have to get going on having the nursery ready and making sure we have all the essentials for this baby. I'm getting very anxious about how quickly my rcs is approaching! Nov 8th is basically a month away.

Was somebody else in here looking for a video monitor? I can't remember. I got a good deal today on the infant optics from BRU. It's on sale and then there's an additional 25% off with code SOUND25. It only has one camera but I figure I'll pick up the additional camera from amazon when I use my registry completion discount.

beefinch I'm sorry you might be joining our shitty GD club. It sucks and the back and forth/uncertainty makes it worse.

+1 to it being stupid hot. But I'm not far from misskilljoy so that makes sense. Ive done nothing for this baby. I should probably get on that. Like finalize her name for starters.

I just cried at my desk over a Windex commercial. For real. I was trying to find a brain development video for my ENL class and this ad came on and sucked me in, then all the crying happened. My goodness. Oh.

In a similar vein, The World of Coke in ATL has this extended commercial thing that you have to watch before going into the musuem. It's a mix of different mini-stories about important life moments (enjoyed with a Coke) set to the song On Top of the World by Imagine Dragons.
We went this summer and I was basically bawling after the whole 5 minutes of it finished. I heard the song in the car this morning and I guess it triggered that memory because I started crying on our way to DS's play date. Is nothing sacred!?

My boobs and chest have been super itchy today. You know what's not a good look in public? Itching your boobs. I did a lot of "bra adjusting" just to get a little bit of relief.

That song always makes me cry for some fucking reason. Pregnant or not I bawl like a baby.

beefinch, hang in there lady. GD isn't about how much sugar you eat, that is a common misconception. Being tested again SUCKS, but if you do have it, it is better for the long term health of your baby to know, even now.
