So I made the mistake of purchasing my Halloween candy a month early, telling myself that I was just being uber prepared. Except I bought everything I love and surprise... I've been eating 100 Grands for breakfast.
However, my house is super organized, though I'm afraid that's due more to the super duper pregnant hormones and less to the 976 calorie chocolate bars I'm consuming.

If you read my blog regularly and haven't stumbled here looking for tips on nipple piercing (oh wait, that's this site that's tops for that search), you know my girl can draw. Well, she's come a loooong way (as in, about 400 times better than me), and you have to see her fashion designs.
She can also sew. (Remember those cool appliqued underpants? Well, Deb has a sewing lounge and Quinlan takes lessons).
[Can you tell I took this before breakfast? And yes, she sewed that].

Give me some advice about my labor and delivery dilemma, courtesy of my husband's rad work schedule.

And I'm not sure if it's bad luck, karma, or that asshole Murphy's law, but I sort of annoyed that I publish a tech blog for moms and currently all my computers are about to bite the dust. And it really sucks to try to do anything more than check email on a netbook. Meanwhile, this also means I can't set up my iPad. Um, for work. Ahem.
Now off to decorate, organize, and dust off my breast pump. Wheeeee!
She made that all by herself? That's awesome! And embarrassing. I have to work at making a mess all by myself.

My mother recently said (when we saw the Halloween candy out in AUGUST) that the retailers are preying on people with eating disorders and bingers who use it as an excuse to buy candy early, eat it, then have to buy it again.
And I slowly hid my candy corns in my bag.

I get more annoyed with the boy wanting more candy because it's around in prep for the holidays. Must hide and sequester. And then remember where it is...

Hey Kristen! I met you in Chicago (@esanchez6) and we were due about two days apart. I just wanted to let you know that I had my baby last Sunday! Good luck with the uber nesting. I'm post-partum nesting...with my mom's help.

The girl has skills. Truly, I can't even put a button back on. Mmmm 100 Grands. I forgot about those.
Sigh. I'd hate for your husband to miss the birth. But leaving you right after, with four kids seems harsh. Can your mom visit? Maybe have him take off two weeks in the middle of the month. Say, from Margot's birthday on? Then have your mom visit for a bit?

I'm trying to help my daughter learn to sew too and I'm totally inspired by your daughter's dress. My daughter is interested but what she really loves is crawling around the floor of the fabric store looking for shiny glittery things...

I think you need to make the best choice for you and your baby and that's NOT a medically unnecessary induction.
Can you hire a postpartum doula for a week or two?

I just sold my breastpump, and I'm so excited! BFing didn't work out for us this time, and I was annoyed to have a $300 lump w/ various accouterments laying around when I found out a friend needed one and took it off my hands for $150. Woohoo for extra money to blow!
