Stuff we will soon learn...

10/31/2012

0 Comments

 
I found this on-line today.  It's cute and makes me excited to see what we will be getting ourselves into soon!

1. Super glue has no place in a house with young children. 

2. Neither do Sharpie's. 

3. There is no such thing as allowing your kid to play with your phone "just once." 

4. Don't use Google to diagnose illnesses. Ever. 

5. Dollar store toys cost far more than a dollar in frustration, anguish and regret. 

6. The terrible twos are bullshit. The terribleness lasts through at least age four. Or, forever. 

7. Always carry wipes, long after diaper wearing has ended. 

8. Resist purchasing character Bandaids, unless you're prepared to buy a box a week. 

9. You can never have too many Goldfish. The crackers, not the live ones. 

10. Don't buy bunk beds, unless you have absolutely no choice. 

11. Keep track of who gave what at birthday parties. 

12. Never stock batteries in your house, or you will be forced to make obnoxiously loud toys work once again. 

13. Buy Mr. Clean Erasers in bulk. 

14. Backup all photos. Better yet, print them. 

15. Look in the oven before you turn it on. 

16. There is no point in making beds. 

17. Accept the fact that you will turn into your mother. 

18. Always check pockets before washing clothes. 

19. There is no such thing as "running" into Target with children.  

20. Take more video. 

21. Daily baths are overrated. 

22. Find young babysitters and groom them. The less attractive, the better. 

23. Always have ample one dollar bills on hand for lost teeth and bribery. 

24. Carry plenty of emergency snacks in the car. 

25. Keep expensive cosmetics out of arm's reach. Arm's reach, on a stool and tippy toes. 

26. The four year old check-up is brutal. 

27. Look before you sit down to pee. 

28. Train your children to clean up all Lego's before bed, knowing that nothing is more painful than stepping on a Lego with a bare foot at midnight. 

29. Save "no" for when it really matters. 

30. Over-apply sunscreen. 

31. Practice caution when approaching that stray raisin on the floor. It's probably not a raisin. 

32. Never pay full price for kids clothes. They always go on sale and the expensive ones inevitably get ruined first. 

33. There's a reason why people surprise their kids with trips to Disney: Their anticipation may kill you. 

34. Don't take their word for it when children say they don't need to pee before leaving the house. 

35. Lock your bedroom door. 

36. And, your bathroom one. 

37. Never open a can of soda handed to you by a child. 

38. Walk away from temper tantrums. Or, record them for future enjoyment. 

39. Upset as you may be, hair grows back. 

40. But, not on Barbie dolls, so hide the scissors. 

41. Never buy more than two pairs of shoes at once. Their feet will inevitably grow once you do. 

42. No matter how hard they promise, kids will never walk that puppy as much as you hoped. 

43. Give away the books you can't stand reading. 

44. No child went to college with a pacifier. 

45. Don't buy any toy that is meant to come apart, unless they can put it back together themselves. 

46. Keep a well-hidden stock of lollipops. 

47. Don't allow Play-Doh on carpets. Or, indoors, for that matter. 

48. TV won't really turn their brains to mush. 

49. A bathroom in a house with boys will never smell clean. 

50. It doesn't get easier.

Halloween is tomorrow!

I love Halloween!  I found a costume that would be perfect for my "current state."  Unfortunately, I am not going to do it since Josh thinks it's too much.  Darn it.  I guess it could be taken wrong...
Picture
Tomorrow we will be passing out candy to the hordes of children that live in our neighborhood!  I cannot wait until next year when we get to take Juliette trick-or-treating!  I've already found all kinds of cute costumes for her for next year!  Check them out!
Picture
We could have a family costume!

Love the baby flamingo costume!

It's a bit breezy here today.  I love a good storm!  I had to go check out the beach today (since I literally work about 50 yards from the ocean!).  The water is quite choppy!

Week 23 Highlights

10/25/2012

Keep on reading and you'll understand the picture...



How far along? 
23 Weeks
Maternity clothes? I have on a long shirt today that I bought a while back from Forever 21.  It used to be big...not anymore.
Stretch marks? Not yet...I need to become more religious with slathering on the stretch mark cream!
Sleep: still sleeping great
Best moment this week:  Getting the quarter round installed!  We tiled the floors over a year and a half ago and finally got the trim work done!  It looks great!
Miss Anything? the clear winner... beer! Already thinking about that Magic Hat #9 I'm going to have next Spring. 
Movement: yes...talk about understanding the true meaning of worry.  The day you find out you are pregnant it starts.  I have come to the realization that this worrying will be there for the rest of my life.  Is she ok?  What's she doing?  I don't think I felt her move today, is something wrong.  Mom, I get it.  I finally get it.  Parents worry.  That's what I have become.
Food cravings: O.J.  I could drink O.J. all day every day.  I even had a dream about chugging O.J.  And it was good.
Anything making you queasy or sick: apparently eating a bunch of Mexican at lunch today wasn't the best idea..but otherwise, no
Gender: Girl
Labor Signs: No
Symptoms: I thought it would be good to add in a "symptoms" line item - this way I can document what I'm going through physically.  After two days of cleaning the house and touching up all the paint, my legs hurt.  Must be the extra weight I now am carrying around.  It is hard to get up and down off the floor.  No joke!
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: HAPPY
Looking forward to: The circus posters arrive soon!  Juliette's room will be DONE!

So far so good!  I have had no morning sickness at all!  The first trimester they don't warn you about though.  It sucks.  God bless I had no morning sickness because the exhaustion and fatigue are bad.  Thankfully, this trimester I feel like a whole new person!  

How far along? 22 Weeks
Maternity clothes? Yup.  Not many of my normal clothes fit anymore.
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: Sleeping great
Best moment this week: When my two day long headache went away!
Have you told family and friends: Yes!
Miss Anything? Ice cold beer and Red Bull...I miss my caffeine!
Movement: She's a movin'!  Feeling like muscle twitches.  Can't wait to know what exactly she is doing in there.  Is she kicking or punching me?
Food cravings: Wholesome food...anything from Cracker Barrel 
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing!
Have you started to show yet: Definitely no hiding it
Gender prediction: It's a girl!
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!
Looking forward to: Josh feeling the baby move!

Since there aren't any pictures of Juliette's dad on here yet, I thought I'd share an oldie...isn't he cute!

It's hard to believe that we will get to meet our little girl in about 17 weeks!  We are so blessed!  We decided to keep her room the same color it already was when we found some super cute things at Ikea this past July.  It's a circus theme (minus the scary clowns!) in shades of blue, green and red.  We are waiting on some cute vintage-like circus posters to arrive for the walls, but most everything else is in place!

LOVE the pillow I ordered from Pottery Barn Kids with her name embroidered on it!  Blanket & soccer ball are from Ikea.

Picture
The glider we got from Babies R Us...it's super comfy!  The blanket on the back of the chair was my baby blanket.  Josh isn't a fan of it, but he'll get over it :)
Picture
The changing table came from Ikea.  The best part about it is that the top changing table comes off and "grows with her" to become a dresser!
Picture
The bookcase I found at Target for $39!  Bargain!  The cute bear was my "Teddy" growing up.  He used to be bright white.  Needless to say, he got lots of hugs from me growing up!

Picture
This girl already has a lot of clothes!  She's ready for next summer...
Picture
Yes, that's right...FIVE swimsuits already!  Her proud father can't wait to take her swimming!
