Chelle,
I also used to put a large plastic sheet on the floor by the sink, with a plastic step for him to stand on, and a few old towels either side of the sink. Just for a little bit of damage limitation! lol

Manda, thanks I definitely will do the towels because I do not have any plastic to put down.
Sandy - I am having a hard time waiting, but I just want to make sure I am truly late. I waited until CD 33 when I was pregnant with Hunter. I am also scared that it will be negative, but I am also scared that it is going to positive. Does that make me absolutely nutty? Now that it is becoming more of a possibility the more it is getting me thinking. What all is going to change in our lives if we are pregnant. It is overwhelming! I feel like some people can have babies left and right never thinking twice or getting scared. I felt the same way when I got pregnant with Hunter, but to see all the joy he has brought to our lives I wouldn't trade him for anything! My baby is only 19 months old and is still very much a momma's boy so I feel bad for what changes it will bring to his life as well...but, until I know one way or another I need to just relax!

Some good containers to have are anything with a small neck that will go gloop gloop gloop when he immerses them!
If he has any favourite plastic toys, eg figures, they go really well in the water too!

Hi Steph! I'm Lexie, mom to Akeelah who is 21 months.
quote:
Hey, I'm wondering what all you SAHM/Ws did for a living before you stayed at home.
I was in school. By the time I graduated I was pregnant so I never went to work (I've worked part time jobs like teaching skating throughout school but nothing full time or career.)
(((Nicole))) You know I'm praying for you. My husband is the type of person that if we are in disagreement and it's getting out of control that I need to let him be for a little while. When we come back to it a few days later, things are much easier to solve, but if we keep pushing it right away, it just gets blown out of proportion.
Yolanda - my period started going wonky after I had Akeelah. It's starting to get very annoying  Some months it's early, some months late...and I'm getting tired of wasting pregnancy tests!
quote:
why does extreme makeover home edition hve to make a sick person cry
Sarah - every episode makes me cry!!! Mind you, I cry at everything (seriously, it's become worse since I became a mom because every time I see someone doing well I think "their mom must be so proud" and if they're in a bad situation I think "oh if that was my child.")
(((Yolanda)))
Chelle - I understand how you feel. I think Dh is really going through that right now, how things are going to change. But as I keep saying, Akeelah will be 2.5 when the baby comes if we were to get pregnant now, and look at how much she is changing week to week right now (sometimes day to day). There will be lots of time to get Hunter ready for the changes, and he'll be so different from how he is now.

Mornin' ladies!
I have nothing on my agenda today. I may make it to the post office and library at some point.
((((((Yolanda)))))) Who will keep your little man when you go to work?

Hey, I'm wondering what all you SAHM/Ws did for a living before you stayed at home.
I worked in Real Estate. I started out as an assistant to a busy realtor, but she moved to TX not long after I started working for her so she helped me find a job with another busy team. They sent me to school for my license immediately. I loved the work. It was challenging, exciting, required a lot of knowledge, I got to meet all kinds of people, etc. I loved my boss. After a few years he started his own company because we were transitioning from residential to mostly commercial/investment. I was an agent myself, but also did all my boss's work. No kidding. He was an incredible schmoozer (had an awesome personality, very smooth, lol) and so he'd get the clients and I'd take it from there. I was the office manager, payroll, HR manager, PR coordinator, Marketing manager, IT specialist, bookeeper and also did the full duties of an agent (showing property, putting together property financial packets, drawing up contracts, closings, etc.). My boss had problems toward the end (got very greedy and unethical) so I'm thankful the Lord led us out of there when he did. It was a great job while it lasted. I loved getting dressed up as a business woman and I loved running the company. My boss was very flexible so I could take off any time I wanted. He often gave me days off paid just because he wanted to take off, too, lol. I also attended college full time all but the last 6 months of my career.

Hunter wanted no part of playing in the sink nor the bathtub. He is a bit crabby today because his schedule was completely thrown off the whole weekend. We try to avoid doing that, but it couldn't be helped this weekend. We did play outside for a bit, but then he wanted to come back in. I still will try the sink play another day though because I think if he wasn't a grouch he would love it!
Before I was a stay at home mom I worked for a small mortgage company as a receptionist. I was very unhappy there for majority of the time, probably stayed longer than I should have too. But, it helped pay the bills and there were times when it was a blessing I worked there, not somewhere else.

Well, Greg is awake but still sore. The doctor did tell him that he has "a fatty liver" and strongly advised him to loose weight. He already has a history of high cholesterol, too. I of course, cannot diet with him, but I told Greg we could both stand to live healthier, so we will try and go for more family walks and less trips out for ice cream and frappiccinos (might save on the budget, too).

How are you today Sarah and Nicole (AUS)?
thanks for asking Ruth......still sick feeling (but HUNGRY....haven't been this hungry since I was pregnant). Mostly it's just my head and throat...I am hoping it doesn't migrate to my chest (typical for me at this time of year)

I sure want to know who those people are...I sure don't know them!!!
I am trying to have a lazy day, cause that's what my body needs.....so I am just puttering around online (reading here, changing my blog look, etc). Boring boring day for us.
before being a SAHW.....I worked at a theme park  ....."ride attendant"....the person who stands there with a smile on their face, says "Stay seated please" about 20 million times a day, then pushes a button.....YAY!!!! it was F-U-N!!!! I was trained in several areas and all sorts of rides, but my favorite was where I got to wear a poodle skirt!!!
Before that, I worked in television...as a camera operator, audio technician, floor director, and what our engineer (my dad...hehehe) called a "general flunky"....in other words, anything else that needed to be done. That was a fun job too!!!!

When I was a high schooler I worked showing movies. That was a mixed bag; cause it greatly depended on the movie! I didn't have to watch the movie super closely, but I did need to keep half an eye and ear on it, to make sure nothing went wrong. (And I really hate horror flicks.)

Wow, Sarah....I didn't know that about you. That sounds like a fun job at the theme park. Robert was a traveling carny for a while. He did the station where you have to throw the ball in the basket three times and get a stuffed animal. There is a trick to it, so whenever we go to the Rose Festival, he is always able to win a stuffed animal.

You're a great wife for doing that for your husband! High cholesterol is not something to be messed with. My dad has high cholesterol and was told to eat a healthy diet. He did and his cholesterol went back to normal levels, but now he eats whatever he wants and it makes me so sad and mad. His cholesterol is going back up again and he is gaining weight (though he's still pretty thin) and it seems like my mom and dad are always eating pizza and desserts. And then she bugs him about "getting chunky"  Even my brother said they are constantly eating desserts and how gross it is. I told my dad that he really needs to start taking care of himself because if something bad happens to him I won't be able to handle it. So I told him to start thinking about me and taking better care of himself.  I also suggested to my mom to start eating healthier too and get rid of all the junk food in the house, but she won't do it.  She doesn't want to give up her junk food and thinks my dad should just be able to control himself and not eat any of it.  Uhhh that's kinda hard to do when a cake is staring you in the face and your wife is eating it. And he delivers pizza's a few times a week and always gets free pizza. Oy... Lorne and I talked about this and agreed to always do things together. If he needed to eat a different sort of diet I would eat it too to make it easier on him. Okay, I think I have blabbed enough.
