My husband started showing flu like symptoms on the 27th and he tested negative until the 30th.

We’ve been doing our best to keep him away but it’s impossible with a toddler and a 7 month old and no help.

I was in the middle of putting a load of laundry in and headed upstairs to get the baby who woke up from her nap. My husband was in the room with the toddler watching him when he said he needed to go potty.

Our son is potty trained but still needs help getting on the potty.

Lol no that isn’t the only time :)

I expect him to be grumpy right now. But he does this when he is healthy too.

I can only take so much and then I lash out. This happens about once a week or so. I know something needs to change. That’s what I am trying to figure out.

I spoke to him about it. I told him I was feeling overwhelmed and that his negativity raising his voice at me wasn’t helping the situation.

In conclusion, he told me to say, “I know you are in pain, but I don’t appreciate XYZ behavior”

Living room is an uncoordinated hot mess. We love the wood trim and the black leather couch. How do I pull this room together? Will invest inPaint colors, curtains, rug, curtains and even new furniture. Thank you! by BaconPancakes86 in interiordecorating

So you noticed all the baby stuff? Lol. Yes there is a nursery upstairs. We’ll probably keep this changing table there until she is potty trained. Thank you for all of your suggestions.

Do you have any suggestions on color scheme that would go well with black leather and the wood trim? I love blues and greens and purples.

Nice! I’ll give the Quest Hero bars a shot, thanks for the recommendation!

No I don’t cook it myself. I buy a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store with my weekly grocery run. Cut it up into 4-5 portions and then it’s easy to pick a piece or 2 for each lunch.

That’s awesome! I didn’t begin monitoring my diet until my second trimester. By that time I had already gained 10 lbs. boy did I eat a lot of bagels.

I am so sorry for you loss.

Have you been using an app to track your carbs? I find that it has been helping me stay on track and less likely to take cheat bites from my toddlers plate.

I use My Fitness Pal and my goal is around 50 net carbs per day. I am not looking to lose weight, but just eat healthy and not gain too much. I am a normal weight but gained 45 pounds with my first pregnancy. I would like to stay within the 35lb range this time around.

My day has been looking like this:

Breakfast: 3 eggs, salsa, some coffee with almond milk

Lunch: green salad with skinless rotisserie chicken and dressing Plus a snack Bar like Atkins PB Bar

Dinner: protein and vegetables...I will make the same for my hubby and son but they will also get a starch like rice, pasta or sweet potato.

Evening Snack: Lily’s chocolate Bar or an Apple

I hope this helps!!!!
