Tacos are always a favorite here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thursday-chat/page/2#post-2679094 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 16:48:54 +0000 Bao 2679094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: I love tacos! I have to grocery shopping still, so we were limited. I had some leftover corn tortillas so I made chicken and cheese...things. I just made it up as I went along. I thought they were good, girls not so much. And yes we ate already lol DH has clients over tonight and we have to be quiet so had to get that over with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thursday-chat/page/2#post-2679092 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 16:48:39 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2679092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: I think we're having baked shrimp with rice and broccoli! But DH said he ants to take the girls bowling (random I know) so maybe we will go and eat there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thursday-chat/page/2#post-2679088 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 16:45:57 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2679088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone have any good dinner plans? I think we just have tacos for tonight! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thursday-chat/page/2#post-2678964 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 14:20:54 +0000 Boogs 2678964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: Congrats!! My oldest pretty much potty trained himself, with help from older cousins lol. Hoping I'll be as lucky with the second kid, but who knows.</p> <p>It has been rainy here, but I caught a break this morning and got to enjoy some much needed time to walk this morning, it felt so good. Tonight we have dinner plans for a birthday, so looking forward to some family time and we'll also have some this weekend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thursday-chat/page/2#post-2678959 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 14:13:48 +0000 Bao 2678959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: That is awesome! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thursday-chat/page/2#post-2678957 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 14:12:44 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2678957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: a little over 2. I'm not saying we didn't have accidents or it hasn't taken a while but she just woke up one day and said that she wanted to wear underwear. So I let her wear training underwear. It went great for like a week, then it was hard for a month or so, then she went down to like one accident a week and no accidents at nap all in her own. When DH took a job going out of town we had a few accidents but for the most part she did it all herself. I never used a rewards system and I don't even remind her anymore (she's 3). I'm desperately hoping it goes this way the second time around! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thursday-chat/page/2#post-2678955 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 14:09:34 +0000 Bao 2678955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: woah, you got lucky! How old was she? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thursday-chat/page/2#post-2678916 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 13:21:23 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2678916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@youboots: my DD potty trained herself. I pretty much did nothing at all. I hope it goes as well as you're hoping! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thursday-chat/page/2#post-2678907 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 13:17:21 +0000 Bao 2678907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@youboots: that's exciting! LO is peeing on the potty, and staying dry day and night but pooping is another story... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thursday-chat/page/2#post-2678886 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 13:02:46 +0000 youboots 2678886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD seems to be potty training herself. We were going to get started later this month, but she says she wants to poop on the potty. So I'm looking forward to officially getting her going. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thursday-chat/page/2#post-2678838 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 12:21:49 +0000 Freckles 2678838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: Great news!!

I basically function like normal on a few hrs of sleep! I get so drowsy between 4-6! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thursday-chat/page/2#post-2678799 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 11:56:29 +0000 snowjewelz 2678799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: yay!

We figured he would be nothing is a safe bet. It's such a relief! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thursday-chat#post-2678765 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 11:31:52 +0000 nana87 2678765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: aww the big move to the nursery! I'm excited for the changing station in our room. lol is that a weird thing to be excited about??? we were gifted a keekaroo and I'm excited to see it in action after hearing great things about it here ;) plus, it'll look nicer to have an organized little station than what's currently on that dresser--massive piles of dh's things that he leaves out! For bottles, we just used Medela for lo1 so I hope lo2 takes them too, it was just easy...I think I want to replace all the nipples though still.</p> <p>@Freckles: we've done toddler yoga a few times with this friend, it's so fun! mostly involves making animal noises, haha. It should be fun to do with her classmates, it's a really sweet group of kiddos </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thursday-chat#post-2678756 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 11:29:21 +0000 FaithFertility 2678756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Freckles: Florida over here I'll leave it at that...... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thursday-chat#post-2678755 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 11:28:43 +0000 Freckles 2678755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: Haha, i basically assume that everyone else is enjoying life in more reasonable temps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thursday-chat#post-2678752 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 11:27:23 +0000 FaithFertility 2678752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Freckles: Umm yeah that is wayyyy to cold.....I am not even going to tell you my temp then......lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thursday-chat#post-2678748 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 11:26:41 +0000 Freckles 2678748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@nana87: Toddler yoga should be fun! My DS is 2 but he loves copying my moves. DD is older but she's been doing yoga at school since 3.5 :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thursday-chat#post-2678746 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 11:25:57 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2678746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@nana87: Oh yes all the baby gear! </p> <p>We actually just moved her last month to the nursery so I need to decide what to do with the "changing station" we have in our room. It seems bitter sweet to have her move all her things to her room as well. </p> <p>I think we finally figured out our bottle dilemma so I'm excited to reorganize that. She's getting Comotomo bottles, we are keeping the Lifefactory glass bottles for scalding and my older daughter to take to school, and then I've got the Medela bottles to pump into. But all those other ones can go! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thursday-chat#post-2678745 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 11:25:33 +0000 Freckles 2678745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: @Mrs. Sunshine: @T.H.O.U.: People always say, "oh you must be used to it" but seriously, NO ONE gets used to it. Yesterday was about 8F but the winds were at 22 mph and blowing snow like crazy. I'm so jealous of you bees in warmer cities!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thursday-chat#post-2678732 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 11:20:30 +0000 FaithFertility 2678732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: Those park bonding times are the best these days!!!!!!!!!!</p> <p>We now go outside on the porch and look for the moon and just chat! It is WONDERFUL!</p> <p>I hope you can go today!</p> <p>@Freckles: OMG -23?!?!??!?!? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thursday-chat#post-2678730 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 11:18:56 +0000 nana87 2678730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: @Mrs. Sunshine: thanks!</p> <p>@T.H.O.U.: oooh the pre-baby to-do list just never seems to end, lol. some work things to tie up, but mostly organizing baby things like old bottles. but, I've sort of done all I can do without dh doing stuff--like I'm waiting on dh to clear off a shelf in our bedroom so I can set up a changing station in our room. Also, organizing toys seems futile since lo1 keeps dumping out every single toy bin... Also, dh's name is Evan, and there have been times when I made a reservation under his name or something (like to get points on Opentable or something) and people have thought it was MY name and been like "I love that!" haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thursday-chat#post-2678719 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 11:10:07 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2678719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@nana87: That sounds like a lot of fun! Enjoy your pedicure, youre close to the end! Anything else on your to-do list for before baby? </p> <p>@Freckles: OMG no way i could handle that. </p>
