DYK I know it's a bit early for CENTRAL time - but on the East coast it is MARCH FIRST!!


DYK I really really wanted to start the DYK


DYK Steph is SO lucky (Black Irish in you occasionally by any chance???) that the title doesn't say (& Steph has no wet spots)


DYK ROFLMAO

DYK I survived the 8 weeks because I have an amazing father? He's a teacher and school happened to let out the day I went on bed rest. He canceled his college classes and moved in with us to take care of Parker and cook and clean for us. I don't know what I'd do without him!

DYK he's cleared his summer except for one week where he runs a debate camp and is planning to be here again to take care of my kids? I'm glad things timed out so I have summer babies otherwise that wouldn't work!

DYK bed rest is still depressing? It usually involves tears. I feel terrible that my kids can't even count on me to put them to bed at night. I hate that.

DYK DD slept with us (on rather, ON me--I had to sit up and hold her against me) til she was about 8 months...pathetic, I know! I think the problem started when I would fall asleep in the rocker in her room while nursing her, and wake up a few hours later--she got used to sleeping on me, and then couldn't do it herself.


DYK it was hell trying to get her to sleep in her crib...I cried many nights listening to her cry!


DYK but eventually it all worked out!


DYK I NEVER took DS to bed with me. Part of that was because of what we went through with DD, but also because he was attached to an apnea monitor, so the cords would have gotten in the way...and the alarm on that thing was insanely loud!!

DYK you really are blessed to have a great dad!


DYK not to many older dads would do that...moms, maybe, but not dads!


DYK we've noticed a HUGE change in my FIL since he's been a grandpa (and since he's retired now). When DH and his sister were kids, he was a workaholic and wasn't around much. Not a very involved father (but certainly not a *bad* one,

DYK you're very fortunate to have family who can help out, though.


DYK I'm so glad I had a good pregnancy, because my closest family is 4 hours away; we would have had to hire someone to come in and help if I'd been on bedrest.

DYK I just did 10 minutes on the stairs (at home, basement to main floor), and I feel like I'm going to be sick!


DYK it's 15 stairs up, and I didn't count how many times I did it...but I did regular up/down, backwards, and sideways...fast...


DYK ugh...maybe I should have waited longer after eating breakfast...

DYk as in, I am considering leaving the house for the sole purpose of getting diet coke??


DYK my husband would be so ashamed of me.

DYk he was a little time-frantic this morning and so I offered to take Janse to school?


DYK I got a mini-lecture on wasting gas and time?


DYK I didn't say anything, I just thought, "You really have no idea how often we leave the house, do you?"


DYK can't stay home all the time!!!

DYK -- that sounds like a project?


DYK I would get some more estimates....$1500 still sounds high?


DYK if I lived closer, I'd come do it for way cheaper...I LOVE to paint?
