Tuesday and Wednesday chat

Morning!

Trying to remember . . .

I did a lot of grocery list planning/coupon organizing and shopping. Saturday morning, I took the kids to a nature center, and we hiked all around--getting "lost" and having an adventure. I packed our lunches. On the way home, we stopped at Cold Stone and got ice cream.

Sunday morning, Mark woke up throwing up. By 9 a.m. or so, he was feeling all better. Glen took the kids to the store and let Henry buy a slip-n-slide so they played on that in the afternoon.

Yesterday, we went to a cookout at Glen's parents' house. His uncle Dennis, who recently moved to Nebraska, was in town so we celebrated all the June birthdays and Father's Day.

What did you do, Sonya?

good morning!

my sister moved from my neighborhood to a teeny town in maine a little over a month ago so we brought our camper and camped out in her yard (she has 17 acres).

we had a good time, minus the bug bites. although camping when you are almost 8 months pregnant and need to pee a million times a night sort of sucks, especially when you can hear a wild animal circling your camper making horrible screeching noises all night long and you are too afraid to leave:)

other than that, the kids loved being able to run around and ride on the ride on mower with their uncle, make smores, etc...

Morning

I did pretty much nothing which was exactly the way I wanted it LOL.

I have been avoiding my mom because I am afraid she is gonna look at me and know I'm pregnant. She is supposed to meet Joe tonight at Trav's chorus concert then I can decide when I am gonna tell her

do you feel like you are showing? or just paranoid that she will have some mom radar and figure it out?

I'm definitely not showing although I think my body is changing shape already LOL mostly just the radar LOL

Good morning. We diid lots of yard work, set up E's kiddie swimming pool, went to a backyard cook out, and I tried to shop for vegetable plants. We were busy but not overly exciting.

E does have a mean cough going on. I will probably call the doctor and see if they want to see her. She also starts gymnastics tonight, which I think she will like.

LL, you probably should tell your mom if it means less stress in the big picture. If she is anything like my mom she might figure it out just by your avoidance.

Tracy, I am glad you got some rest this weekend.

Robin, it sounds like you had fun despite Mark puking.

Stacey you are a brave woman to camp pregnant, even if it was at your sister's house.

Boots and Bananas · Guru

I'm definitely the best girlfriend ever.

Joey really wanted to be at my first appointment (1st time dad = total

) but he has a softball tournament (for Outback, whom he isnt even going to be working for much longer) so I changed my appointment. Now instead of the 10th it's the 23rd.

OMG I totally thought of that too LOL. I was really hoping to try to wait until I was past my 1st trimester but I don't think I'm gonna be able too.

LL - I would tell her asap. I know *exactly* how you feel. I felt that way with Owen. I didn't want people to suspect and find out by asking me, kwim? Well, by asap, I don't necessarily mean right this second but after she meets Joe and when you feel it's right.

Hmmm...my weekend. Well it was good for my sanity not so good for my weight loss plan. I have got to get back to it today. Lots of water, no more soda, no more chips, no more desserts. I have been terrible! I am about to go make some oatmeal and then do exercising. If I don't do it now I probably won't do it at all today. :)

All in all, we had a nice weekend.

I spent the night at my sister's Friday, hosted a bridal shower on Saturday, had some drinks with my niece's sorority sister's Saturday, went to a wonderful lunch with Joe on Sunday, then back to my sister's to get Hannah from my mom, but she brought her home (thankfully Joe had come back) so he had a special day with her, while I helped my niece get some stuff done for the wedding, and with both got massages.

Yesterday was pretty uneventful, since Hannah wasn't feeling awesome. Hopefully she's on the mend though, because we have SO much to do this week.

You better do it soon, girl.

Even if her reaction is less than stellar at first a) You know she's going to get excited and happy, very quickly and b) she will not be nearly as pissed as if she guesses, or hears any other way than right from your mouth.

I know it'll be hard, but you can do it!

Ok you can come tell her LOL

I don't know what I am so worried about, actually yes I do, hearing her say she is "so disappointed in me" and "how can I let this happen"

Just go into it prepared.

She's a mom, so it's a given that she going to focus on how it's maybe not the most ideal situation (and you know I'm happy for you, so I hope ykwim by that)

But, I have no doubt that she's going to love Joe, so don't be worried. Things will come full circle, and she'll be excited. Look and Meghan and Jayden. It was a not great situation with her being young, etc, but your mom could not love them more if she tried. Life is too short for people to focus on the negative for long. Go into it expecting her to lecture, and when she does, just give her those moments to be a mom - there will be a lifetime for her to be an excited, thrilled granny, and I know she will be!

ITA with Leah. I would start off by saying that YOU had hoped and planned it differently (you guys wanted to get married first...I think you said that, LOL) and things didn't work out the way you both had planned. But that you are thrilled and excited and that you understand if it takes her a little bit to get there too.

Boots and Bananas · Guru

Yeah I know you are right. It's going to be waaaaayyyyyyy more interesting telling his parents and I know for sure he is waiting until I am at least 12 weeks LOL (and he's planning on waiting until they are HELLA drunk, prolly 4th of July weekend LMAO).

In other news I am effing starving and he is out having lunch right now. I have requested that there be sweet potato fries waiting for me when I get home. Lets see if he earns points LOL

Yup totally planned on getting married first. We actually had a conversation about it the other day and how he is still going to give me everything I never had (ie: I was never proposed to, quint and I decided to get married). He really is the sweetest man in the world

Where is the total hysterically laughing rolling emoticon?!?!

I dont think his dad is going to freak out, his mom is OLD SCHOOL portugese and extremely um catholic. When I was there mothers day weekend I went downstairs alone (Joe was in the shower) and got lectured about divorce and how she doesnt believe in it and that you have to work for your marriage. When his father chimed in saying Joey is divorced her answer was well that's different LMAO. I could not get back up the stairs fast enough. I can already hear her saying rosaries for our bastard child LOL.
