Soooo jelly that Ethan's finally potty trained. I'm SO ready for girlie to be trained. Damn her birth defect  

Good luck at your appt Monday!

I still need socks for both kids (and DH), undies for the boy, stocking stuffers, and the PJs Santa brings when he visits to check in on the kids 2 weeks before Christmas. DS's big gift is on layaway but should be paid off by the end of next week.

No clue what to get my brother's kids (they're the same ages as my kids)

I'm so bad I'm not buying anything for Christmas til Dec 14th them I'm gunna order everything online and have it shipped to my house idk were I'm gunna hide it all DD is getting spoiled and I still have to figure out how to reveal the gender on the new baby on Christmas I was thinking if its a boy I'm gunna have a gift for the whole family under the tree with a pink onesie that says real men wear pink but idk about a girl plus it's so generic I wanna be different the other idea was on etsy they have bun in the oven scratch offs when you scratch it off it says if its a boy or girl my whole family loves scratch offs lol I'm welcome to ideas my mother inlaw and sister inlaw are dieing to no so I want it to be special and my brother inlaws fieance did the ballon release so I don't wanna do that idk this is gunna be a tricky one

We told FIL about the baby last night. He was shocked! We called to wish them a happy thanksgiving and were talking about visiting (he's in CA, we're in WI) and he said maybe we could come this spring. I said we wouldn't be traveling anywhere this spring b/c we're having a baby in May. He and his gf are going to visit over New Years. MIL's also planning on coming around then, eep! I'm telling her today since its her birthday. We're still not telling MY family until Dec 8 when we see them  

Exhaustion is back.

Gahhh and I'm cramping today. Or its bh. Boo

I'm craving feta cheese, kalamata olives and green olives stuffed with pickled garlic. And just plain pickled garlic. And also grilled artichokes. Pretty much all things Mediterranean. Mmmmmm

Happy belated Thanksgiving, everyone! We just did a quiet thing at home with us and the kiddos, since DH had to work for a few hours in the morning. We skipped the Black Friday craziness and just got our Christmas tree and decorated the house instead. Still lots more decorating to do, but that's always fun.

We plan to take our family Christmas/announcement pic this weekend, and I'm getting so nervous about finally telling people. I'd kinda like to keep it a secret forever, but we'll be seeing relatives in a few weeks and I'm getting too big and obvious to hide it.

The only Christmas shopping I've gotten done so far is an idea I saw on pinterest where you wrap up 24 different Christmas books and each night leading up to Christmas the little ones take turns picking one to unwrap and read at bedtime. I went to a local consignment store that has kids books for $0.25 each, and got 17 Christmas books and 3 non-Christmas ones. Between those and the ones we already have, we'll have 24! Now I just need to start wrapping them, since the 1st will be here before I know it.

That is SUCH a good idea!

I thought it was a much better way to countdown than those advent candy calendars. And this way, I can reuse the books each year if I'm careful to put them away after Christmas is over.

Love that idea I am thinking of trying it.

Boo! I think RL pains are starting. I had a little bit of cramping in my vagina and right above my pubic bone. I had it bad with DD and it start at 17 weeks with her
  There were several occasions where I would cry because it hurt so bad
