Lol I know what you mean. Its easy to over do on pasta lol

[ootus973]

Mom made tacos...ummm...yeah...ok...


Btw, responding to everyone's "borderline" due dates....I'm technically due Jan 15th, but they won't let me go to term, so probably have a New Years Baby...

[sammilynn]

Well then I guess most of us will be seeing december vs january

[swatty]

I'm due-ish Jan 11...the earliest I've gone is a week early, according to the drs, but I know when I've conceived each time. Brayden was on his due date, as was Anna but Avey was a week early. The drs w/ Bray said I was a week off, but I know I wasn't. So I think i'm looking at a January delivery no matter what, and that's fine with me!!

[sammilynn]

No matter what these babies are coming home with us

I am so tired but I can not sleep. I am tired of insomnia and early wakings. This is for the birds.

[swatty]

Cass and Meg I you guys!!

I would have slept well last night if the baby hadn't totally adn completely regressed with night time nursing. I'm so ready for her to be done. She slept horribly so all she wanted was the boob. I've never had the other two just lift my shirt and help themselves, but this child does and i can't stand it!! I just wake up to pulling and tugging on my boob and am all wtheck?! Then I realize what it is and the rest of my night is all messed up. Its going to make for a LOOOOONG day today! I just hope its warm out so I can throw them all in the back yard to play so I can work on my flower beds and garden!!

[sammilynn]

Great guess who has a bad yeast infection. Whats some good natural methods to get rid of it other than yogurt?

[swatty]

Probiotics, cranberry capsules and cut out as much sugar/caffine as you can. That sucks, I'm so sorry!!

[sammilynn]

Well I just upped my does of probiotic which I take daily because I am very prone to getting them. I have already ingested 2 things of yogurt. All Iv had to drink or eat has been whole foods so far. Then to top it off I'm feeling like I'm gonna get sick. All this h3ll better come to something.

[ootus973]

Sorry Sammi

I'm actually feeling a little better this morning and had some veggies and rice...my back hurt SO bad yesterday, and I had anxiety dreams about moving all night. I'm waiting until tonight to find out if my neighbor is buying my truck and there's still SO much left to do

[sammilynn]

I hope that things move smoothing for your move. Just rest when you can and try to get the kids and DF to do as much as they can because if not you will stress your self more.

[swatty]

I woke up to a little pouch this morning. I thought it was left over mac and cheese but even after going to the bathroom its still there. Guess the bloat begins!! I'm making the kids waffles and then we are going to get dressed and go outside to do soem gardening. I've got some flowers to plant that dh's great aunt gave us and if I don't get them in soon they are going to die. This woman was an amazing flower gardener and Id hate for her flowers to go to waste like that. We got irises and lillies and daffodils and some crocuses...she had the most amazing flower gardens I have ever seen at someone's house. She is moving by the end of the month so we all went up adn took some so they can stay in the family. I also need to get the soil ready so I can ploant my squashes and pumpkins and start digging up the plot for my tomatoes and peppers! I swear I never thought I'd get into this but I am LOVING growing our own food! And the kids think its so amazing to see it go from seed to food, so its good for them too!

[sammilynn]

Im defiantly bloated. my jeans are not fitting so I broke out my belly band. But then again I just lost weight and went down a size so they were snug to begin with.

Becca. We love to grow our own food its nice knowing what you put on things and not what stores/commercial growers put on them. I love lilies and have some around my house. I need to go out and plant more herbs but I don't think i will be able to do it for a while lol.

[ootus973]

I'm so envious! We won't be able to do a garden this year unless we buy already grown plants, because the season is well underway where we're moving to

[swatty]

I did my first herb garden this year! I planted basil, rosemary, parsley, garlic chives and cilantro. I'm so excited for them to get bigger so I can transplant them! We love making home made salsa and this year everything but the garlic (cuz I goofed last fall adn forgot to plant it) will be from our garden. That makes me so happy! I try to make everything I can from scratch and using stuff from our garden is a great feeling. i notice a HUGE difference in Brayden when he gets more processed foods than I'd like for him to (like if we are at my parents or another friend's house or something) His behavior is so awful. I have even been talking to my sil about getting a few chickens but so far dh is not on board with that, so we shall see. If we had more land than just our acre we would do it for sure!!

[sammilynn]

I have basil, cilantro, red pepper, garlic, mint, rosemary, thyme, parsley, and a few others. I keep some in my kitchen in a vertical garden. Then others I keep out side. I love using fresh or dried herbs in my food. We notice when Kyle has more processed foods. he is grumpier and more hyperactive but what 2 year old isn't lol. The Ils have chickens, pigs and cows so we get fresh meat too. I love the country but then again I hate it cause you have drive forever to get anything lol

[swatty]

Thankfully we are in the country but the city isn't too awful far away here, maybe 45 min (unless there is traffic). I never really started cooking like this until we bought our house. It was like someone flipped a switch and I never went back. I make all the kids bday cakes, the sewing is still crazy to me but I LOVE it. I think being around dh's crunchy family has really rubbed off on me but in a good way adn not overboard lol. I'm doing things I swore I'd NEVER do, like cloth diapers and bf'ing and making my kids clothes. Its amazing what children can do because I do it all for them. Gosh, soryr I'm feeling very sentimental today! I already had myself bawling earlier with another prego friend and I think the trend is going to continue today.

Augusta I may make mine sunday. I would tomorrow but we are going to the city and I have a maternity shoot tomorrow.

Becca I have always grown my own. My dad got me started and my mom. After that my mom started getting healthier and has less troubles. So I'm going to keep it up to avoid the troubles lol. DH won't let me CD we tried it with DS that didn't work. then i bf till 5m with ds but people were harsh and telling me he wasn't growing when he was growing beautifully. this time I'm bfin till i can't any more

[sammilynn]

We need a dd thread. who wants to make it or do you want me to do it?

[swatty]

I had absolutely NO desire to bf, ever! No one in my family ever did it, so I knew nothing about it. Dh came to me in teh hospital crying b/c it was soemthing that was really important to him, so I pumped for Brayden for about 8months. I planned on doing the same thing for ANna but the first night hoem from the hossy, she had a violent reaction to the formula, so I latched hr on and never looked back. She nursed til I got pregnant with Avey. Avey is still going strong with no end in sight, unfortunately. I'll let her go as long as she wants but truly, I am ready to be done. Beyond ready!!
