cp3 yay for a great scan! love the pics! i'm here, up at 4:45 with coffee. watching the big family cooking showdown - not as good as gbbo, but i'll take it. it's really making me want to cook and i'm just wondering when i'll get to the point in my life where i'll have time make an elaborate meal again. it was one of my favorite sunday things to do and i miss it! h was on call last night, and once again i am really questioning my ability to do this whole sahm with a toddler and a newborn thing. i have so much anxiety - anybody who does it now with more than 1 have any tips?

Congrats cp3! polson, I have both of those thoughts frequently. I love making a big meal for people. I always do Christmas Eve which is usually my favorite but I'm dreading it this year. I'm hoping next year I'll feel differently. And I also get the stress of having to do the toddler + newborn thing solo. My H owns his own business so I'm not expecting him to take any substantial time off when I have this baby and it'll be the start of this busy season so I'm fully expecting to be thrown into it like the week after the baby is born. Do you have family nearby? I'm lucky in that my parents live around the corner so I'm fully planning on either making them come over or going to their house if I get overwhelmed.

Congrats cp3! We had our first real snowfall last night and DS does not want to be inside at all. We've been outside since 8:30 and only came in once for a snack and potty break. I just had to drag him in screaming because I was freezing. I had to bribe him with a cookie.

Congrats cp3! Went to a super fun bounce place w/ my toddler this morning and did just a tiny bit of jumping and (possible TW) now I'm bleeding 😒I didn't even think about it until after the fact. I'm sure it's nothing, but annoyed at myself... I have my scan Monday so timing couldn't be better to put my mind at ease.

mirabelle glad it stopped cornpop we seem to be in kind of the same boat - i won't be able to count on h being home for dinner time or bedtime most nights. thankfully we just moved back home, so i will have more support than i had with dd1. i am just worried about dd1 being needy/demanding during bedtime when i'm doing it alone. i know we'll get through it because we have to, it's just not fun to think about at all!

mirabelle I'm glad it stopped. That would make me anxious too though. Hope your scan in a few days give some extra peace of mind.

I met with my new OB yesterday, and absolutely LOVED her. She was friendly, asked lots of questions, made sure I didn’t have questions - even gave me a high five when I told her G had been 9lbs and I didn’t tear.
A far cry from my last OB who was in and out of the room as quickly as possible and never really looked at my chart. So glad I made the switch.

It’s Hs birthday and he works tonight so I think we’re gonna order supper in and have cake quickly before he goes to work. Making up for it by going to the city next week - having my sister babysit and taking him to see Thor.

I want Taco Bell but I live in the backwoods and the nearest one is 30 min away. I don't think I can justify packing up the toddler on 23 degree day for. 30 min Taco Bell run.

I am so hungry. So hungry. It is almost 5pm and I have nothing prepped for dinner, and nothing easy to prep.
I just texted my husband, "I keep thinking about those brussels sprouts from that restaurant. And pulled pork. And french fries. And Thai food. And crazy fries from that other place. And caesar salad. With lots of croutons. And a steak. And ice cream. And chicken noodle soup."

My stomach has not caught up to the time change. I'm still ready for meals a full hour early. We finished an IKEA trip at 10:45 this morning and I was like, we HAVE to get lunch RIGHT NOW because I'm dying. We made it to Taco Bell before they stopped serving breakfast. 🤷🏻♀️
DH has been relentlessly teasing me about it. He doesn't understand!

How old is he woodenshoes ? Dd went through a nightmare phase a month or two ago and it was horrible. A few weeks ago she was terrified to sleep in her room. Everything scared her, shadows, her owl decal, her nightlight. I brought it up at her 3 yo check up and her pedi said it was normal at this age for them to be getting scared a lot. It has gotten better the past two weeks. But she is still super attached me and only wants me for things not Mh. Poor guy. It's sad seeing them so scared. I hope it's just a phase and the nightmares stop. DS will be 4 at the end of this month. I know this can be a normal phase. I will definitely double check with the pediatrician at his 4-year appointment on the 30th. I am sorry that you DD went through a similar phase. We have good days and bad days.

I had to do my 1 hour glucose test early this week and failed, so I am doing the 3-hour test at the hospital lab this morning. I am glad I am able to do it at the hospital lab, so I don't have to take more time off of work. I want to save my time off for maternity leave. I had GD with my son, so I still have a glucometer and my blood sugar was 80 this morning, so hopefully it is accurate and I passed the fasting, which I failed with DS.
While I am waiting I am going to work on DS picture book for the last year. I make him one every year.

DH woke up this morning with a chest cold and he just left to go to the dr. My best friends daughter is having her birthday party today, so I guess I'm taking DD there by myself. DD is pretty excited about the party...she's been asking every 5 minutes if it's time to go yet. The party is in 2 hours. Guess I should find something for us to do to keep her occupied and help pass the time a little.

This is definitely random- in case anyone has a little girl to buy for for Christmas, I just scored a Little People Princess Castle and a set of Little People Princesses for $28 from target. The castle is on sale for $34.99 and the princesses were free with castle purchase. I used the 25% off toy coupon and my red card discount to bring it down to $27.74🙌🏻 THANK YOU FOR THIS! Grabbed it at target this morning. DD is officially DONE. I’m defintiely individually wrapping the princesses for her stocking 😂 I’m feeling prettyyyyyy proud of keeping her gifts under my $150 budget. Enjoy the last Christmas as an only child, kid.

G has a fever so we’re chilling on the couch watching the Remembrance Day services. I can be (more) lazy so he follows my lead right?
