Only if I get to be skinny by Sunday morning too!

No, but really, I'd put you in the skinny category already so I don't think you have anything to worry about.

I would die not knowing if that many people were spending the night. I wish I was more of a "fly by the seat of her pants" kind of girl, but I'm not. I'm guessing you have everything ready just like you would if you knew for sure they were staying over, right? :giggle

Looks like you are going to have a fun weekend! Is the Dr. appt. with the new doctor or your regular dr. for a follow up?

Things are good here. I have pretty much no energy but that's to be expected. I've been doing good about getting things done around the house, entertaining Meghan and then finishing up whatever (crazy amounts) of work I can after she goes to bed. It seems like every day is just bleeding into the next, iykwim so I need to change that. I don't let rutts stick around for too long LOL.

I've also spent the last month wallowing in the fact that I am gaining weight so fast this pregnancy. I decided to just let it go and enjoy it because this will be my last pregnancy and I don't want to spend it weight obsessed like I did with Meghan. I end up getting lost in my own world and secluding myself when I get like this. I'll get it off afterwards! It looks like I'll probably gain about 40lbs. There are worse things in the world to worry about.

Oh and good news! I went to my first Mom's Club playgroup today!

There was supposed to be one a few weeks ago that I got myself all riled up for and then it got cancelled last meeting because the host's son got sick.

It went really well and I actually let my guard down and chatted with everyone. They were getting stuff ready for making applesauce when I got there so I jumped right in and grabbed a knife to help. That made it so much easier to talk to everyone b/c I could just focus on peeling apples when I felt like there was an awkward silence (which is usually when I jump ship. Also the reason it took me forever to have my first kiss... I made a lot of guys angry with my quick getaways LOL).

Meghan had a great time too, even though I heard her in the middle of the living room going around yelling at some of the kids "Can I play with you? I said, Can I play with you? CAN I PLAY WITH YOU?". She'll learn. Hopefully sooner than later LOL.

There is a moms cooking get together one morning next week that a)I hope I can sneak away from work for and b)I hope is early enough that I can either pick up Meghan from school after <doubtful> or I can sign her up for the afterschool program.

I really need to make this a PRIORITY. I need IRL friends in a BIG WAY!!!

apies · Guru

lmao di!

if anyone stays the night, it will just be my sister and my mom with my sis's 2 kids. my uncle and 2 cousins will go home. it's nbd.

and my house is trashed. toys all over the family room and dishes in the sink. i just have NO energy tonight and i know they won't be here until lunchtime tomorrow so i'm not in a rush.

itu what you mean about the bleeding days. that makes me crazy. i'm sorry work has been so busy for you! well, maybe i'm not b/c busy means they need you, right?!?! and pleease don't worry about the weight - i gained 60+ with each of mine. and then you just get it off.

omg, di, i'm so jealous of your playgroup. i would kill for that. wtg girl for putting yourself out there!

i will say that i'm a little better this year in the friends dept b/c i know people from school and have been socializing with them more. but i still need to do better.

This little girl is STRONG.

With how much I feel her kicks, it's hard to believe she's only 22 weeks old.

My uterus is measuring a little big (23 weeks at 21 1/2 weeks) but supposedly, from the US, she's right on target.

I love love love love love this feeling though!!

I had no idea you gained 60+ with each. What did your doctor say? Is it strange that it's the fear of what the Dr. is going to say that keeps me miserable?

Quite honestly, besides having to go see Mike's family and knowing I'm going to get comments, I really don't care about gaining the weight b/c I know I'll get it off. I have to. I'm not happy *at all* when I'm not pregnant and overweight. But thinking about getting a lecture when I see the doctor and hearing how much weight I gained every month KILLS ME!!!

i never really had a dr say much to me.

i remember at one appt with emily, one of the drs i saw said something like, it's still early, so you might want to start watching you don't gain too quickly.

other than that, no one ever said anything. ??

i would have been pissed if they had. :P

You should see if they have a Mom's Club in your area! www.momsclub.org

They say it is for stay-at-home moms but I'm pretty sure the VP told me in one of the emails that they have evening activities sometimes because some of the moms work. It's worth a shot!

I hope I don't morph it in my head into a bad experience where I sucked and everyone thought I was a freak so I chicken out and don't go again. LOL I'm good at doing things like that.

It sucks trying to make friends when you are 30! Shouldn't it be easy by now? confuse

And yay for you! This will end up being a great year for you in the friends dept. btw school and the boat!

Wow. I need to go to your doctor!! All of mine always comment either way...

"2lbs this month (first trimester). Very good"

"I see you had a bit of a weight jump. 5lbs. Just watch that".

Jenn, I commented on FB, but your haircut ROCKS!!! I LOVE it!!!!!

April, I hope you have a supa fun weekend!!! Sounds crazy busy, but good!!

Di-

on the kicks. That is so cool!!! And you will take the weight off-no doubt. I'm so glad you all had fun at the mom's club!!!

Supafly · Guru

I think I am alone here, which comes as no surprise.

I swear it feels like midnight and it is just going on 10.

Bill and I are both beat tonight!! He has a 3 day weekend, which I keep forgetting because the girls don't have off on Monday. But yay!!
