"My coat, your coat, MORE coats — look at these coats!"
Remember when I posted about Baby Boy and his, uh, difficult with learning sign language?
- He consistently signs “All done!” when he’s finished eating
- If you feed him something and he wants more, he signs “More”
- When he’s hungry, he signs “Food” (or sometimes just “More”)
- He looks up at light fixtures (just loves ’em) and signs “Light”
I have to admit, when he started signing “Food” and “More,” I was pretty smug. Everyone (Darling Husband, his family, my family) thought teaching him sign language was dumb. But now that they see him actually communicating that way? Waaaay IMPRESSED! And I’m kind of the most genius mom EVER, right?
Baby is still OBSESSED with his Signing Time DVDs, and I love them, too. And since discovering Rachel’s personal blog, I am super-obsessed with her and how awesome she is. Awesomeness x 1,000,000.
I’m stumped on a final sentence, so, in conclusion …
Baby Signing Time = amazing.
Rachel Coleman = amazing.
Teaching your baby to sign = genius.
And I WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG! … Hmmph!
Omigod, you guys!
We saw a house this morning.
I said “Wow!” and “I LOVE IT!” every three seconds.
I am trying to remain calm.
But really? I MUST HAVE IT!
The best way to describe how I feel is with the immortal words of Elle Woods (circa Legally Blonde: The Musical) …
Omigod
Omigod, you guys
This one’s perfect and its just my size
See, dreams really do come true, you never have to compromise
Omigod
Omigod
Omigod you guys
Let’s go home before someone cries
If there ever was a perfect couple house, this one qualifies
Cause we love you it, guys!
The ABCs of TTC
While Googling around looking for information on TTC (trying to conceive), I came across something that stumped me.
“BD.”
What the hell was “BD”?
I figured out pretty quickly that it meant sex, but WHAT did it stand for? Bumpin’ Uglies Duglies?
After a little more Googling, I saw it stood for “Baby Dancing” (i.e. doin’ it for a purpose). Ah.
So if anyone else out there is super-slow on the TTC antonyms, here is my quickie cheat-sheet. Happy Baby Dancing!
2ww*: Two–week waiting time from O to AF
AF: Aunt Flo (perrrrrriod)
BBT: basal body temperature
BCPS: birth control pills
BD: Baby-dancing, or sex intended for conception
BF: breastfeed … or boyfriend
BFN/BFP: Big Fat Negative/Positive, on a home pregnancy test
BM: breast milk … or bowel movement. EW!
CD: cycle day
CF: cervical fluid
CM: cervical mucus
DPO: Days Past Ovulation
EWCM: egg white cervical mucus
ETC: Expecting to Conceive
FMU: First Morning Urine.
HPT: home pregnancy test
IB: Implantation Bleeding
LMP: Last Menstrual Period
OPK: Ovulation Prediction Kit
PG: pregnant, or pregnancy
POC: Process of Conceiving
TTC: Trying to Conceive
*For those of you keeping score, this is where I am now. Waiting sucks.
Not Me Monday: Birthday gluttony edition
- While celebrating my twenty-muffle-muffle birthday this weekend, I definitely did not indulge in two full days of eating whatever the hell I wanted
- Like McDonalds breakfast …
- … and a Teen burger …
- … and whipped-cream-and-cookie dessert …
- … and fried potatoes …
- … and dino-shaped nuggets …
- And, of course, I do not feel supremely ill/stuffed/bloated now
- I would also never admit it was totally awesome
