Jess any update?

X x x

 

[Peach Blossom]

Much as I expected... Wait until counselling to discuss it.... I didn't cry. I didn't lose it. Going to bed now. Love you girls. Xx

 

[babyloulou]

Did he not even react Jess? X

 

[Peach Blossom]

Not really no. Just sat quietly, said he completely understood everything I'd said, but that we should wait until Wednesday... Not sure an hour will be enough!! Xx

 

[Euronova]

i really hopes he gets thinking about all this... I just can't believe someone right in their mind would waste all you have built....
Spoke with my mum, she said her sickness definitely stopped at the second try (well so she says as it was between 40 and 30 years ago!)
I think I might have the tiniest of bump, it's not really like a bump, it's like a tiny swelling just under my underwear elastic mark. definitely something I have not noticed before!

 

[SBB]

Good night Jess. Well dOne for keeping your cool, I hope he has a good think about things...

V make sure you take lots of bump pics - even now!

X x x

 

[babyloulou]

Good night Jess. I hope it hits home with him! Are you sleeping in the same bed? X

 

[kcw81]

Sorry he is putting it off Jess but at least he heard you and can think about that till wed. Good night.

Suz can I freeze homemade hummus? I think I can but not sure. Also what do u serve it with for a baby with no teeth? Just by spoon?

 

[babyloulou]

I don't know about the freezing thing Casey but I give it Ben on breadsticks. He's got 4 teeth now and chomps and eats them well but even before he had teeth he sucked the hummus off and just gummed the breadsticks to death!!!

Jess - you are so strong and brave for reading him that letter. It was really really well-worded. I really hope you guys can work this out. I'm so sad for you though because he doesn't seem sorry

V - I didn't mean to issue a dire warning, lol.. even when my sickness came back, it was NOTHING like the first tri and was usually triggered by something that grosses me out even when I'm not pregnant (dog poop, cat puke, fishy cat food etc)

Busy day today. DH seems to want one day to do nothing at all, but I feel like we don't do enough and the only way we keep things under control is by doing some of it each day. I understand the desire for a whole day of nothing to do, but really he has to bust his butt more days of the week if he wants that day off, am I right?

 

[kcw81]

I think it might be too strong of garlic but I am not sure. I guess it tastes okay, I made chickpeas mixed with edamame and just put in lemon juice and a tiny bit of garlic powder and olive oil. it tastes fine without tahini, pretty much like the real thing. I googled it and some ladies said it was okay to freeze so I guess I will go with that! ha. internet advice, gotta love it.

 

[lisaf]

Trying to decide what to feed Daniel tonight.. feeling bad about him having avocado so much, lol! Thinking of sweet potatoes? He just sucked on the watermelon a bit so we might do some of that again.

 

[kcw81]

I hear most babies love sweet taters! I know I do. Sorry yr dh wants to be a bum today. My dh worked , baby proofed a couple drawers , and will babysit while I go see Drive movie tonight. Nice of him. He's paying it forward for something I think. ps babyproofing drawers is a pain! So is installing baby stair gates. At least my dh makes it look hard. There are screws and drills and oh my! Thank g I don't have to do it.

 

[lisaf]

lol.. we still have to get around to that. already have the gates up though thanks to the dog

 

[Onelildream]

Jess- love you Hun! I totally cried. Seriously still crying. Video was great and the letter was amazing. I am so proud of you. I wish that butthole would react a little remorseful. I want to hit him with my shoe. Repeatedly.

Connors second tooth came in today!!!! He's sooooo cute. Thanks for your advice ladies. Seriously. I friggin love you all! We fasted and prayed about it today and thought there's no better way to make a decision than to ask God. I know, I know, I'm soooo Mormon, right?! Haha. Anyway we did. We feel great now! We've decided to stay in our neighborhood. We absolutely loooooove where we live and we love our neighbors. Seriously, I could probably name 90% of my neighbors from 6 blocks north and 4 city blocks wide. That's how tight (as in close) my neighborhood is. The thought of leaving it is difficult, like we would be abandoning family. so we decided, why not stay for awhile, buy a cheap house, and flip it? An old neighbor of ours just went to a nursing home and will sell her home to us for cheap... Like 125k. We would get 8k off from a grant, and it's 2500sq ft with a 1/4acre yard. Not too shabby! Of course it's an ugly rambler, but we'd looove a challenge for fixing the facade. So we'll see what tomorrow brings.

V- with my first two kiddos I had morning sickness from 7 to 17 weeks, and 6-21 weeks. But my third I was only sick for a week or two and no other time. So it really depends on the pregnancy, and you might be surprised and it could ease up! Like you talked about before with Casey, even though you feel like CRAP exercise will really help. It's the last thing you will want to do, but it helps. And eating is awful too but it helps if u always snack on something... And a sick but helpful tip.... If you do start throwing up.... Tomato soup tastes the same coming up as it does going down. Gross but I lived on that when I was throwing up 10+ times a day.

 

[lisaf]

oh, yeah, Taco Bell tastes the same coming up too (not sure if you have that there)

 

[kcw81]

Great Chell! Sounds good to me, if you have a kickass neigborhood that is awesome! Money can't buy that! Hope you eventually had a snack later tonight. After my movie out by myself I walked by this frozen yogurt place where you make it yourself and pay by the ounce and I never tried that type of place before so I went in and filled up a big tub of peanut butter and chocolate yogurt and drove home eating it with one hand on the wheel. Yummy treat for casey! Its fun to take yourself on a date, you guys should try it.

 

[Onelildream]

Casey, you're so cute! Haha. When I was in high school we followed this drunk driver after the cops told us to stay on his tail. He was all over the place One hour later the cops came to get our statement for the ticket/ citation. They were in hysterics. When we told them drunk driving was dangerous and NOT funny, they sobered up and confessed their laughter; the guy driving drunk was, in fact, only trying to eat a few tacos (with both hands on the taco) and using his fat belly to steer! Our joke now, for poor, distracted, or drivers trying to eat is that they are being taco drivers. I hope you weren't being a taco driver!!! now when I get pissed I just call people that instead of driving by and flipping them off... It gets the aggression out the same. Bahahaha.

I am going to a girls night this week. $5 paparazzi jewelry party. Have u guys been? Super excited!

Oh and one more thing, Casey. I got a sitter last week and went to a film festival on campus by myself. Driving without the kids was so liberating! I was blasting my music. Felt so good at the stoplight bumpin my music next to the old geezers. Hahaha I'm sure I looked super cool with my three carseats in the back seat.

 

[Euronova]

That's so funny you mentioned Tomato soup as my mum said it was her pregnancy sickness saviour. I might have to try although I am not particularly keen on the idea
I LOVE taco bell.... but we haven't got it here in England

Yes we have baby gates everywhere already with the cat and dogs. There are so good to help manage the little monsters! The dogs can play so much together they often need time out to calm down a bit!

I'm teaching French today, my client owns a restaurant so we meet up there. I hope I find something I want to eat on the menu, I am a bit worried.

 

[Euronova]

Oh and tomorrow I have an appt with my doctor, going to finally decide where I will be followed for the pregnancy and will be able to book my 12 weeks scan
So excited
