Omg that’s so cute! I’ve been watching the Harry Potter movies the past few days (again, I watched them all a few weeks ago, and of course when they came out). I’m slightly obsessed.

 

[claireybell]

Shae i LOVE the Harry P books/films, i could easily be a witch ha ha! My fave is the Half Blood prince, love it

 

[gigglebox]

Omg he's so adorable!!! And ahhh snow! Is Riley excited about it? We need pics!

Jez omg i'd be livid if the baby came home in that condition! Did you confront him or just silently seethe?

Tex wow that's damn good! How many people are playing? I have found in our case going slow and steady the whole time, then balls to the wall at the last weigh in, was our ticket to victory.

I forgot who requested a "9 months in, 9 months out" photo of me and the boy but i have one to share, but will have to post later.

 

[claireybell]

Ooh i think the 9 months in & out collage was me

Ive not been out in snow haha Riley walked to the shop with his Dad & loved the crunchy snowy feel through his welly boots lol! He’s never really seen snow so ges a lil excited bless him. Theres more on the way this afternoon & overnight so he’ll probs go sledding down the hill tomorrow morning eee!

 

[gigglebox]

Pretty snow! We are in Texas near the border of Oklahoma and about 2 hours from Arkansas and we usually get snow but this year for some crazy reason it’s all been south of us. Like near San Antonio and Austin. Heck even Houston got snow this year and we didn’t! I could have really used a snow day this year haha.

Temp is still looking good and I am now halfway through my tww!

 

[gigglebox]

Aww thanks cb, i feel like i look very "over" being pregnant in the bump pic!

Ahhhh love all the snow photos! Post as many as you want. It's also cool getting a real time snap shot of another country!

Tex sorry you missed your snow this year! We did too, mostly. I love the excitement of snow days...though for us usually mild winters are followed by harsh ones the following year so we'll see! I hope we can somehow make our fireplace dream a reality before next winter...

Tex ugh I hate planning events like showers. I didn't have a bridal shower and almost didn't have a baby shower. I'm nor sure if I'll do a sprinkle next time. Probably just have a family get together and ask for diapers lol. Hope you can win the weight loss competition!


Gigs, I ordered mine of amazon. It didn't have a pouch. My face at least feels smoother and it hust feels nice to "pamper" yourself.

Oh I tried scrambled egg and V wasn't fond of it. I'll dedinitely try again though.

My sitter isn't a licensed place but she's a retired labor and delivery/NICU nurse. She actually had asked for more but I got her down.

Oh and congrats on second place

CB great pictures. I love to stay home when it snows. Sipping hot chocolate in my jammies and watch the beauty outside.

Also, I love Rileys outfit. I think i really like Goblet of fire in books. I hated order of pgeonix cause Harry was so angsty. I mean I get it, but it was annoying at times.

Jez thanks. I'm okay, I know that getting pregnant last cycle really wasn't the best idea anyways. Time to save up for my next leave now.

V's rash is like 85% better today too.

Sorry DH just doesn't "get it". I really feel you on this. Last Saturday DH was meeting a guy after 10 p.m. about selling a gun. He wanted me to go with him, bring V. I said she needed to rest. She'd been sleeping poorly from rash. He was like, but "I'll be alone and it's pissibly dangerous". :facepalm: so bringing your daughter into a possibly dangerous situation makes it better??

I just stayed on phone with hin til he got there andwas going to call 911 if I didn't hear back shortly. All was fine, thankfully.

Pacific nope. Private sitters don't charge as much around here. Most charge 20 to 25 a day.

 

[Flueky88]

Gigs I really like the collage. I guess mibe would be 7 3/4 months in and out lol

Agreed we have had a fairly mild winter. Kind of sad but glad we didn't lose power

 

[gigglebox]

Dads hubs has been using size 2 diapers that I guess my mom found while I was in bed....he's been using them, even overnight and now telling me i'm buying diapers that are "way too big!" He's almost 25lbs! Size 4 is fine!!! 2 is tiny! I don't know what hubby thinks, like I arbitrarily make the choice to size up? Uh, no, he leaks man!

 

[pacificlove]

Gigs , sorry I had to laugh at the size 3 or 4 issue. That part my dh gets as he's usually the one to get L in the mornings. L is actually a size 5 at 25lbs.... Soo much output and he's got a lot of length to him for his age.

As for clothing babies, my shirt lacks something too. Even in the house when we are both wearing socks and sweaters, he is fine to let L run around short sleeved and barefoot....ugh.

Good job on the weightlosses. I am almost motivated to do something myself

I kinda wish we had 20 or even 40 dollar a day daycares available gotta push through a few more weeks until I can talk to the boss.

 

[Jezika]

I love seeing these snows pics. I remember how rare and magical it was in the UK to get snowfall. Very exciting! And now I look at these pics and think, “Pfft. You call THAT snow?” I’ll see if I can dig up a pic of my mum’s place around Christmas.

Glad it’s not just my DH that pulls questionable moves. Gigs, I can’t believe he thinks size 2 is okay! Tilly is around 25lbs and wears 3s during the day and 4s at night. Might have to transition full time to 4s.

Hmm blanking on anything else.

Oh, I started taking swing dance classes (Lindy Hop). I think swing looks so fun. But yeah I don’t look anything like I’m swing dancing after one class. It’s sooo different to salsa, which is what I’m used to.

 

[Jezika]

Pics from Christmas. The big hump in the last pic is an outdoor table.

 

[pacificlove]

Wow jez, that is a lot of snow! Makes our 10 inches from 2 weeks ago look like nothing.

I am impressed that Tilly is still fitting size 3s at 25 lbs! No chance of that for my boy!!
Is the dance class just for fun or an attempt on exercise? I was dancing with L today and got out of breath even faster then I thought I would. Makes me realize just how bad I am out of shape. Maybe if i do quit work, I should work out during Ls naps.

Cb, I forgot to comment on the adorable picture of Riley, I am a big hp fan! So cute

 

[gigglebox]

Just popping on to whine. Still sick...wtf. Low to mid grade fever rages on. I keep taking tylenol to knock it down but I don't want to do that every 6-7 hours. Also my internet is out; we have a crazy wind storm blowing through, lots of school closings and gov buildings shutting down. Downed trees...it's chaos! Just hoping the power stays on.
