R is still running a 101+ temp. It comes back as soon as the Tylenol/ibuprofen wear off. The dr said if it wasn't better by the end of the week to come back in. I have a feeling we'll be going back tomorrow.
C usually wakes up around 11:30p-12a looking to eat, and MH has been giving a bottle. He usually picks up C and takes him down to the kitchen to get the bottle ready, but we were thinking that wakes C up too much, and it takes him a long time to settle back down. So last night MH decided to prepare the bottle and set it in the nursery around 11 before he headed to bed so it would be ready (would only be sitting out for 30-60 min). So, naturally, C STTN. 4oz down the drain, ugh. And C hasn't nursed that much yet this morning and he's napping again, so my boobs feel like they are going to explode!
In non-milk related news, I am torn on whether I want it to rain (we need it so so bad, everyone's lawns are brown and brittle) or not (the contractors should be here to finish up our porch & balcony today if it's not raining)...
Ellie and ran two miles today. It was already oppressively hot and humid at 7:45 this morning. Just miserable weather.
I'm heading out soon to go drop off my acceptance letter at my new school district and ask a few questions, then I'm off to my old one to turn in my resignation. I'm feeling pretty bittersweet about it. I really love my current district.
Today is 15 yr anniversary so husband took off work and we're going to the movies and get sushi. I feel like I am supposed to hand the baby over to my inlaws so we can be alone but I'm not there. Bad wife.
15 years!! Congrats And not a bad wife at all, I'm not there yet either. Enjoy your day!!
I'm feeling a bit sad (that's not quite the right word) today. My office mate and coworker of 10+ years got married over the weekend and I did not know he was even seeing someone. He is private and we all had figured bachelor for life so this is a huge shock and happy surprise. I think another coworker and friend of 10+ years (we were all in grad school together) went to the wedding. Of course no one is here for me to ask my questions! Probably irrelevant detail but both of these coworkers were at my wedding and I was at the wedding of coworker 2. I specifically asked my office mate yesterday how his vacation was (he does not usually take vacations) and if he saw family. Would have been the perfect time to spill the beans. I keep waiting for him to come in the office so I can ambush him with congratulations... Well played office mate, well played.
We're suppose to go to my parent's tomorrow, my grandfather was flying in from TX to meet LO. However, my grandfather ended up in the hospital this morning with chest pain, we're waiting to hear more, but in the meantime we're also scramblign to figure out weekend plans as it turns out the dog/housesitter H hired actually has to work his regular job tomorrow and saturday and would end-up leaving the dogs crated for longer than I'm comfortable with.

I hope your grandfather will be okay. Hope that you get good news soon, and the weekend plans work out! Did you figure something out re: not seeing your brother there?
byjove, I would have weird feels about that, too. Being private is one thing, but being selectively, overly private about a happy thing like that seems strange to me.

thanks (and DoesItComeInPink) I didn't get many details this morning, but I'm hoping the vague details mean that he's at the hospital out of an abundance of caution and they'll hopefully find nothing...he's otherwise a healthy 88 year old.
We had not figured out anything for avoiding my brother. I know my mom spoke with him and basically said that he needed to play nice while my grandfather was around (and he is able to do that when other extended family is around), but that is now yet another factor that is making the decision to go for the weekend or not complicated. The plan was to celebrate my birthday on saturday.
thatgirlrachel, I would agree, but he has shared things in the past? It not like I am some super random person. He came in and was super weird about it (he didn't it had been broadcast to our branch). I asked if I could see a picture from the wedding and he told me no. My coworker was at the wedding though.
gdaisy09, I really hope it is nothing and you guys can celebrate as planned

He straight up told you no, that you couldn't see pictures? Super weird. If it were me, I would probably ask if I had done something to offend him, because I am paranoid and it would really bother me if someone was upset with me for an unknown reason. I recently had this exchange with a friend and after the fact, she thanked me for "calling her out" because she truly didn't realize how she was acting. And it ended up being due to some personal issues, nothing with me. But, that was with a close friend, so different situation.

Yes. I had a witness to the conversation who thought it was equally strange. I would be more offended, but some of the people that he is closest with had no freaking clue either.
byjove, does anyone know who he married? Like could there be a reason he's being shy based on who it is (a former coworker maybe? something like that)? I am oddly invested in this now, haha.
byjove I'm a borderline over-sharer, but this situation is really odd. It's not very nice of him to leave you out to that extent. @tifga happy anniversary! A has a cough and now I have it- it's a really deep cough. I feel fine otherwise and seems to be fine too. Not sure what that's all about.

I too am invested. Byjove please report back with any new findings!
We have a name! And two colleagues attended the wedding (both of which attended mine- do you see what I mean, like not that I should have been invited to the wedding, but clearly we are friends with history- I'm not happy with him!). It does not appear to be anyone I know. He said once he gets a wedding photo that he will bring it in for his desk. Several things in the last year make a ton more sense now (like when he moved and why he has a packed lunch every day for work- it's kinda cute). They had been planning the wedding since February, but I don't know how long they were dating. I will see both colleagues that attended the wedding on Monday, so I'm hoping they'll dish a little more now that the cat is out of the bag.
ETA I got him to open up a little bit. Apparently this last year has been "stressful" with the move and wedding planning and it was too hard for him to think about it while at work (insert chin scratching emoji) and apparently his wife had a very stressful year- she teaches middle school and there were some special challenges. And he said he rarely discussed anything with our mutual friends either. And no, he will still not offer a picture for me to see. I have to wait until the wedding ones come back. Yeah. So much WTF!

Surely it's because he doesn't want to do the wedding an injustice by showing nonprofessional pictures that don't articulate the true beauty of his wedding..........
byjove, that is quite strange. I'm glad you guys had a talk about it, even if it didn't quite clear things up...
This situation kind of reminds me of a recent thing that happened at my work. We're all a super close knit group and one of my coworkers was due with her first baby in early August. We threw her a shower (outside of work), and we all were very up to date on her pregnancy and everything leading up to the big day. She texted our boss when she went into labor (Tuesday evening) to say she wouldn't be at work, and then we heard nothing.
When Thursday evening came around and she still hadn't updated anyone, we started gentle texts to make sure everything was ok. No response. Finally mid-day on Friday, the coworker texts a picture of her and the baby at home. We were all so relieved, but kind of pissed - we get the desire for privacy, but we were all really concerned about her and the baby. Even just a text "all is good" would have sufficed. People can be weird about big life events, I guess.
Charlie figured out how to clap today and will not stop clapping! Nursing, stops to take clapping breaks. Playing, stop to clap. About to fall asleep, wait! I just remembered I learned to clap! Better practice some more! So funny, he is cracking us up with this.

LOL ! I can't wait for Iz to figure out clapping, we clap at her and she laughs and flaps her arms, also hilarious, but I picture her doing something similar to C once she figures it out

So my grandfather is being kept overnight for observation, his heart seems fine but he had a low pulse. We were flip flopping on still going to my parents, but then couldn't nail down a decent dog sitter and my brother has another explosion at my mom and she called to say it was probably better if we don't come. C'est la vie.

.........right?
The thought crossed my mind... My interest is piqued!

EG has started slapping her hands up and down in opposite motion, but I'm so ready for her to learn clapping. It's so adorable!
