Mike Said: So last week, I scheduled to go on a off-site meeting from Wednesday to Friday, leaving Jenn home with both kids alone overnight for the first time. I was feeling guilty about it and almost decided to drive back every night to help her. I was especially concerned about how Allie would handle me not being there for so long. I've been putting her to bed almost every night for a few

BrandiIt’s a good thing Maniacal Jenn reminded me it was our turn because let me say, I’ve had a week. My dogs ate brownies (if you don’t have dogs you don’t know that it’s a bad thing), then one of my dogs snagged her dew claw on something and all I can say is bloody paw print on my kitchen counter. All of this required medical attention. Thank goodness Ethan’s sister is a vet tech. Then it

This week's (late) edition of DSMS will be told solely from Jen's point of view due to her 'condition'. John's version will be open for discussion at a, um, later date (when Jen's calendar frees up).Last week I wrote to tell you all about this.Then, this past Friday night played out as follows:"Let's go!"

Jenn Says:Things I'm Scared of: Getting the spinal. I hate the feeling of being numb and not being able to move my legs if I need to. I always feel like I'm going to move at the wrong second or he's gonna miss.Surgery in general is scary. Last time both Allie and My heart rate started to go down when they couldn't get her out. Hopefully things go smoother this time.Not being home with Allie for 4

Jenn Said:This third trimester is kicking my ass. I haven’t posted in weeks (maybe even a month) I hate my job, I’m a total emotional wreck, I’m in a ton of pain, and I’m feeling a bit guilty that I’ve been hangin a bit on Mike for support with Allie.

Mike Said:So this past weekend, I began the process of preparing for the "little man" to show up. You see, we can't do the baby's room over yet because it's currently the office. The office needs to move downstairs into the family room (which is in the basement), and the play area in the family room needs to be moved into the 4th bedroom (also in the basement). So my friend and I repainted the

Jen’s Take “I’ve got to tell you the funniest thing that The Big Guy did today.” said my preschooler’s teacher. “He looked around to make sure that nobody was watching before he went into the dress up corner and put on a princess dress. And then he looked a little embarrassed afterward.” While it didn’t bother me in the least, my mind raced to find some way to ease this little tidbit into

Besides the name debate (which is continuing), we now have to decide whether or not to circumcise the baby. I think we should. Maybe it's because I am and that's

In sports, there's always a winner and a loser (except in soccer, hockey and in rare cases, football.) I've noticed that I treat everything in my daily life the same way as sports.

First, an announcement: We suddenly find ourselves unexpectedly expecting a fifth child. That’s right, FIFTH. One. Two. Three. Four. Five.We both like to make it clear to people that this baby is unexpected. It helps to remove the “crazy factor.” Stupid perhaps, but crazy no. Anyway, after we stopped looking at each other and saying “Doh!” we managed to move on to the next natural topic. Baby

Jen’s Side (of the bed-story): I suppose because I grew up an only child I enjoyed the luxuries of that status (ie my own room, my own stuff, etc) and never had to worry about having to share anything with anybody. I wouldn’t necessarily call that being spoiled, just, I don’t know, not too concerned. In the case of having my own room, and therefore my own bed, I naturally took up space as I so

Granted, we were away last week visiting relatives, but I already realize how difficult it is. You are "on" 24-7.

John: There is a thought that two hearts that love one another decide one day that marriage is the beginning of spending the rest of your life together with your best friend. In some cases, a woman will marry a man for his potential of being a great husband (with a bit of training assumed). And in the man's case he marries the woman to either prove to her that he's committed to her and/or

ster:some of you might not know that boyfriend and i aren't married yet! but it's coming soon, so our house is all about the wedding!! invitations on the floor. stickers with our monograms printed and strewn around the house. silly shaped scissors for my many diy (do it yourself) projects. cd cases in boxes. blank cd's at both computers. disposable cameras. boxes of vases. boxes of candle holders

We like to pass judgment on the celebrity relationships we hear about in the news. Well . . okay. . .in People Magazine. A pathetic waste of time, we know - but hey, who better than us to decide what really broke up Brad and Jennifer?Alright, alright - so there are lots of people better qualified than we are. We're still willing to wade into the celebrity muck and offer our not-so-expert opinions

The first was right before Christmas, and the second, hello?, right now. This happens every year. You always do too much around the holidays, you need to pare down your obligations and not worry

jennster:holiday's. christmas, thanksgiving, easter, and whatever the hell else "holiday" you're required to do familial things for. when boyfriend and i were dating i remember him telling me that we would NEVER switch off families during the holidays (you know, like my family one year, his the next). he gave me some bullshit line about how he had to be with his family every single

Jill Says:I was listening to some cheesy radio show on the way into work today. The disc jockeys were cold-calling guys to see how many of them could remember what their wives gave them for Christmas last year. The inference was that men are unsentimental idiots who can't remember something that is so obviously important. As I listened to this I checked in with myself: Oh-my-God! I don't know

Mike Said:Yeah, that's right. Women are smarter. OK, do I really believe that? No. Well...................ok yeah, sometimes. For example, how does Jenn know how to get the baby to sleep after she's been squirming around, crying, pointing towards the door, and all around protesting going to bed for me? Couldn't tell you, but she does it. Also, she just has the instincts to know how to keep Allie

Issa: You know we had this great idea to talk about dinner and who does what if anything about it. But I've had a horrible day and so...um...Nick: She's trashed. Issa: I am not. I'm just a little tipsy. Nick: Yeah little like running into the wall and calling Nata, Maya and....Issa: Ok, so maybe I am drunk. Who cares? Do you in blogland care? I didn't think so.

Eric Says Like almost every wedding I've ever been to, our ceremony had the whole "love is patient" reading from Corinthians. And while I suppose I can agree that love is patient and kind, I'm not so sure about the part that says love "keeps no record of wrongs." (Yes, people, that was a part of it, too.) I say, why not keep a record? Why not just write those "wrongs" down? And not just the

When Mike and Jenn first met, they would talk about what they wanted out of life. They wanted to live in a country setting, they both wanted kids...that kind of stuff. Jenn said she wanted 3 kids, and that she wanted to be able to stay home with them. Mike said 3 was a bit much for him (different post entirely) but that he would love for the mother of his children to be able to stay home. And

Melissa: Did you guys find out the sex of your kids before they were pregnant? Did you have people ask you and then look at you funny when you told them yes or no? We actually found out with both kids, although they were only right the first time. The second time they swore it was a boy. I believe the exact words were, "oh yes, it is 100% boy in there. Hahaha. If I were a betting man I'd go to

JILL SAYSI'm thinking of tattooing the Nike swoosh on my forehead. Something artistic and well-done, but still BIG and smack in the middle of my head. Hey, my kids aren't the only ones who know about attention seeking behavior. Here's the deal. Eric recently got back from a day of golf with four buddies. All married men with children. Here is the gist of our post-golf conversation:Jill: So,

But I completely disagree with him.Counselor: Mm-hmm. How so?John: We ...don’t ...have ...sex.(both Jen and the counselor lean in as if expecting him to offer more)

No, his little pet name for me is: MOUSE POTATO!awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwHe thinks I spend too much time on the computer.

by IssaYou all know the question I mean right? Well any of you who have a child under one may not have heard it. The lovely, "when are you going to have another child." Oh, now you know right? For some reason that I've never understood, people start asking you the moment your first child turns one years old. You know, because on that day, they are miraculously grown enough for you to want to

by NickMy wife feels strongly about this. I could care less. Every time someone asked us when we were having another, I thought it was cool. It means they care. It means they are curious. It means they want to buy you more things. It also means they think you are doing such a great job raising the cutest little girl, or boy I guess, in the world. What else are they going to ask you? When you are

It's a way for us to be more addicted to the internet and blogosphere.........Oh, THIS blog specifically? Well, it's an idea that came into my head one night when I should have been sleeping.Everyone loves when couples blog. Why? Well, cause Blogs are so ONE SIDED, and it's cool to get the other side of the story. Mommybloggers are everywhere! Daddybloggers are getting more and more popular too!
