Thanks!  No, we didn’t do gifts.  We decided that we’d consider gifts for the big ones and on the others just spend our money on a nice date out - trying fancy restaurants or going to see a show.
Although I am OBSESSED with fruit bouquets and I realized that I didn’t even look up what the 4th year traditional gift is.  It’s fruit or flowers.  It would’ve been perfect.  Maybe we’ll buy one as a belated gift to ourselves, lol.

Can you go with your original idea and then just give her the printed stickers? Who knows what size onesies the babies will need each month - and then she can figure that out, you still look super thoughtful, and your budget isn’t dead!
Oooh, I hadn’t thought about doing stickers!  The only ones I had ever seen were done with iron transfer paper, but stickers are a much better idea!  Thank you!!!

do it for your kids! be a good example! you can do this!!
I did it!  And it wasn’t horrible.  I still didn’t break 2.5 miles in the 30 minute time (2.49 mother fucker).  My husband said he thinks that counts in the margin of error for GPS tracking and I should count it.  But I’ll get there.  I definitely won’t be finishing the Color Run in less than 30 minutes, but I’ll be close and in theory have a good time with friends. 
Thanks for the support, friend!

Check with your local library - I rent most of my kindle books through Boston’s public library for freeeee
Thanks!!!!  I just looked into the library’s policy.  I’m a little concerned because they say you have to be a resident of certain taxing districts, but since we’re officially still Ohio residents we don’t pay Nevada Taxes so I hope that’s okay.  I’m guessing it is because they say you can access their eCatalog if you have a library account with Nellis’ library so I’m hoping it works.  I didn’t even think about it so thank you so much for the suggestion!

Now you can read 50 Shades with the cushion of painkillers!

It definitely helps to be a little stoned on Percoset when trying to get through this awful writing.  Although I feel all wiggly and it’s hard to hold up the iPad.

my favorite/most hated phrase was her “inner goddess.” specifically when it was doing backflips.

Oh my, I want to punch her inner goddess in the face.  Also why is her subconscious always reading classic British literature and glaring over half-moon spectacles?

this may be silly, but could you drink caffeine free DC?

Of course, and I do.  But the main problem is you can’t get fountain DC in the caffeine free anywhere, and fountain pop really is the best of all.  And it still doesn’t help with the whole no energy don’t want to be awake thing.  Plus, I can taste the difference, which is minimal and might be more psychological than physical, but for me it’s there. 

As much as I am sure this sucks now, that would be pretty awesome if it were a boy and you could be all done - just like my mom did, 2 babies right in a row - 1 boy, 1 girl - then call it quits ;)

Right!?  It’s so funny when we got married and wanted a big family everyone was like ‘oh you just wait til you’re raising the kids, you’ll change your mind’ but the having of the kid is not the problem.  It’s the damn pregnancy.  I’d actually be all about adopting another kid or two provided we can afford to care for them and give them a good lifestyle to get 3-4 total kids.  I just don’t want to keep doing this, lol.
