Mistaken Identity - Vol 5

In case you're new: I get e-mails intended for other people with my name all the time and have decided to share some. See below for the newest ones.

If you pick PinkyWinkyPoopy as your username, I think you're too young to be on the internet!

I'm assuming this is a resume, but it's in another language. I'd recommend putting a more flattering photo on there though.

I think this might be the resume girl from above? Still a terrible photo.

This lady thinks I'm her daughter and has been sending me e-mails for months.

6th grade is hard, man. (except for writing, apparently)

It's hard to read, but this person actually gave me their bank routing # and account #. But the good news is I can start looking for a puppy now!!!!!!!!!!!!

This photo attachment made my day! I still can't figure out if that's a pink shower cap, hat, wig, etc.

Someone must have gotten their tax refund. And blew $1,350+ on 2 cell phones. Mind is blown!

From what I gather, some guy listed a king size bed on a free Craigslist-type website in Ireland. Some lady called him a con man and "Muppet" was so offended that he sent the message on to the police. For what reason, I don't know, but I really hope his real name is Muppet because that is awesome!

Baby #2 update: Week 23

(Anything that is bold below is an answer from the 1st time around that also applies to this pregnancy)

How far along: 23 weeks

Total weight gain: 11 lbs (As of 21.5 weeks - started around 120, last weigh-in was 131; will get the official number at my appointment on Friday)

Sleep: It's been pretty good this week. I still toss & turn a lot at night, but it's been better than usual.

Maternity Clothes: I'm in mostly all maternity bottoms at this point, but am still wearing my regular shirts.

Food cravings: Chocolate, chips & salsa, anything spicy, salad, fruit, KFC (lol)

Food aversions: I'm having a hard time drinking water, which I really need to work on. Sweets still make me feel a bit sick.

Symptoms: Super dry skin; acid reflux; feet are starting to swell a bit; not as big of an appetite as before.

Movement: This baby is much more mellow than Oliver was. Maybe that's a good sign for the future? lol

Gender: GIRL!!

What I’m looking forward to: Figuring out a name for this little girl and getting the office cleared out so we can start working on the nursery.

What I miss: Time to get stuff done; not wanting to eat everything in sight; free time

Best moment this week: Oliver having a few play dates with his buddies :) (nothing baby-related this week that I can think of)

Baby #2 update: Week 22

(Anything that is bold below is an answer from the 1st time around that also applies to this pregnancy)

How far along: 22 weeks

Total weight gain: 11 lbs (As of 21.5 weeks when our broken scale randomly worked once - started around 120, last weigh-in was 131; will get the official number at my appointment next Friday)

Sleep: It's hit or miss. A few nights I was up at 3 or 4 and couldn't fall back asleep. The other nights I got semi-decent sleep.

Maternity Clothes: Still mostly living in pjs since Oliver & I don't get out much, but I'm wearing maternity jeans & leggings when we do leave the house.

Food cravings: I still can't seem to stay away from sweets :( But I'm also craving lots of fresh veggies, so I guess it evens out. lol. Strawberries on top of yogurt, salad, baked potatoes with sour cream & chives, pringles, juice.

Food aversions: Sweets still make me feel sick (but I still eat them). Cereal & milk gives me terrible indigestion.

Sleep: We really need a new bed, so sleeping is becoming a bit of a challenge the bigger I get. (how sad that 2+ years later, we still haven't gotten a new bed!) I've been waking up at 4am and staying wide awake until 6. I'm not liking that at all :(
