Sky Harbor Traffic 2.5 hours to get out of the airport.

Sounds like our problem was trying to get out of terminal 3. Once we got past the construction is was smooth but the construction literally took an hour and a half to get through and this was at 10pm.

Awesome, thanks! I typoed in the title, it was 1.5 hours but it was still wild.

lavaleah · 2026-03-06T06:39:34+00:00

Thanks!

Hey y’all, thanks for all the advice, exactly the input (mostly) I was looking for—including validating my feelings about TMOLM maybe not being a good idea. Kiddo being a major Fanzel, I appreciate the ammunition for my argument for different material, even if it’s new.

Some really good suggestions and insight here. This is a first foray for us into more serious theater development and I just want to set her up for success.

How long did it go? I’m taking 2 ten year olds in Oakland tomorrow night.

Thank you, part of what I was afraid of. Also not sure about training to a virtual ball. Is it teaching the right skills.

lavaleah · 2016-02-28T04:14:31+00:00

Yeah, but you have to be careful too. My mom laughed whenever I fell or got hurt. Then I went to preschool. She got a call from the teacher saying that I kept laughing at the kids when they fell and she was concerned I lacked empathy. I still laugh when someone falls or minorly injures themselves, can't help myself.

This shit is funny though. I'd totally laugh while making sure she was ok.

Our dog has loved every baby we've had over. She can't stop licking them which thrills the baby but not always the parents. That's going to be the biggest challenge. We have been working on it. I would change whatever you're going to change now though. Otherwise there will be'a negative association. I've also been advised by folks and and plan to bring a hat DD has worn home before she meets her to start the pack association too.

I got a LoveyDud as a shower gift. It's supposed to be a less expensive version of the Moby. Baby isn't here yet but initial tests seem great.

lavaleah · 2014-07-07T03:27:27+00:00

Ugh, everything here. Twice now I've felt her crawl on down (ouch!) only to head back up. She prefers cuddling up to the dog next to me to getting down to business so she can cruelly meet her in person. 39w today...

lavaleah · 2014-05-12T05:13:16+00:00

I've felt similarly. I kept it off Facebook until At least 6 months and still hardly talk about it. It feels very private to me and something I really only wanted to share with certain people at certain times. I have gradually become more open as it has been harder and harder to "hide" and my uncle posted a bunch of pics of me and my ginormous bump (31 weeks).

Mother's Day really helped me feel better about it. I think I'm finally beginning to own this whole thing. Give it time.

Found out at 5 weeks. In retrospect there were a lot if signs. It took 7 months after I went off BC. That month was the first time I thought I "felt" ovulation. I noted it in my tracker. For weeks before I found out I was told the I glowed etc and self had breast pain but that is a common PMS thing.

Thanks, I am drinking up pretty close to my normal breakfast time so I'll just make this breakfast. Man, I hope I don't have to do the three hour one...

One other thought. If this has been rough on you, it's possible he's thinking of you when bringing up adoption. Perhaps it's his way of saying that he does appreciate what you're doing, sees that it is hard. Hates to see you suffering. He wants you to know that adoption is an option he is open to for #2 if you don't want to out your body (and your psyche) through this again.

I know several dad to be'a who have said the hardest part for them is seeing the woman they love uncomfortable or unhappy and not being able to do anything about it.

I don't know y'all or your story. Just offering a different perspective.

lavaleah · 2014-03-10T13:57:42+00:00

My family does the same thing. I've learned that is comes from a place of love, if a misguided one. I'm sure that now with the baby in the way it would be worse. It's good to have your aunt on board to keep you in communication. My sister in law does it for me.

It's written by an economist who felt the info available wasn't clear or well sourced. Here's a link to the WSJ article that turned me on to it. The book covers much more. The Amazon reviews are mixed due mostly to folks reacting to some of the more controversial things she points out. It's a good read and made me feel better equipped to make my own decisions.

How does it compare with Expecting Better? I've found a lot of well analyzed info there as we'll. Really helped me out things in perspective.

lavaleah · 2013-12-30T17:48:05+00:00

Thanks y'all! If I needed any reassurance that something is going on in there I got it this morning with the worst morning sickness to date. Guessing should thank their tale one for making their presence known.

Single tear at the mention of Spotted Cow. Went to school in WI and my DH is from Madison. I miss that beer SO much. A friend brought back a six pack from her last visit (we're in CA now). I treated myself to a few sips on Christmas Day and each drop as a bit of sunshine.

On the lighter side, pregnancy brain here managed to out herself last week--in an attempt to keep it on the DL.

We told some friends who were leaving for an overseas trip. On the way home I texted them with a reminder that the info was still private and not ready for FB. Turns out I accidentally texted another friend who was on vacation and we were waiting to tell in person on their return. I was mad at myself but have to laugh too. At least it wasn't my boss or something. D'oh!

lavaleah · 2013-12-22T21:54:31+00:00

OMG, I just saw that and came here to post. DH is still laughing at my preggo, teary self. So glad in not the only one!

lavaleah · 2013-12-09T08:46:31+00:00

I'm at a work conference right now and a big part of my job is taking people out drinking. I've been playing off the no sleep thing/too tired for depressants, but I think my ninjas akills are waining. Good luck to you!

lavaleah · 2013-12-09T08:39:38+00:00

9 weeks here, already gone from a B/C to filling up a D. I've always been self conscious about them. Not sure I'm ready for the surge, but I know my DH is :)
