I've decided that the following are my least favorite wake ups: 1. After 4am, I rarely have success getting LO back to bed 2. Just as I'm about to get in bed myself
LO has been making a habit of both of these lately
I'm home sick and feeling guilty. I know it's stupid. I feel like my boss was annoyed when I called, but it might have been because I called at 6:30am and not everyone is ready to talk to people at that time, including me. Oops. Now it's time for me to rest and not worry about this anymore.
H kept me up for like two hours this morning in the wee morning hours. My kid actually slept. Seriously, dude!?
Also, I'm having my second period in the month of August, both came mid pill pack. I'm half ready to throw my bcp in the garbage because clearly my body is giving it the giant middle finger and just doing whatever the hell it wants regardless.

My least favorite is the 4/4:30am wakeup. My alarm is set for 5, so if he wakes up at 4 or 4:30, I don't get to go back to bed. And 4am is TOO EARLY to be up for the day.

I always have too much employee guilt to call out, so I get it. I always think "but maybe I could tough through it". But, sometimes you just need some downtime to recoup. I hope you get well soon!

So my Wednesday is going... well.
I'm on Paragard and my periods are wonky too. I'm so over it. I was supposed to start Thursday or Friday. I began to start Sunday (if that makes sense) and now it is just off an on. I am wondering if it's ever going to really start and get overwith or if it's going to drag out. Either way, I am over this Paragard and will be getting back on my normal BCP after our next LO.

Nothing much new here. My mom's boyfriend found out he definitely won't be back in time for their Labor Day beach trip so H, EG, and I will be going with her. I'm excited to go on a trip that is paid for, but I'm not sure how excited H is to spend a long weekend with just me and my mom, haha.

This happened today. Grumble grumble.
yup, my alarm goes off at 5 too...but there's time for feeding built in there, so if I get her back down I can snooze for 30 minutes or so.

I have no idea what to do. I was on the ring before getting pregnant but it wouldn't stay in anymore after she was born, no matter what I did to get it in. So I just went back to bcp and it was fine for a few months, but now I'm getting crazy periods. Long, painful, and apparently not even three weeks apart. I'm so over it.
We have two women in our office who are pregnant but haven't announced it yet (they are doing terrible jobs of hiding it). It has been annoying me and I am dreading their official announcements. I realized it is because I am jealous. I want to start TTC again but still don't have my period back. I know it is unlikely we will get pregnant on our own so the sooner we start, the better. We are planning on doing 3 cycles on our own and if nothing, returning to the RE. I'm not willing to wean yet to get my period back so here I impatiently wait.
Speaking of weaning, I was planning on combining our two evening nursing sessions into one, effectively weaning one away. I was going to start yesterday but I chickened out. I didn't realize it would be so hard.
Today has started off pretty good. I'm in a great mood, it's pretty outside so I'm thinking about taking lo to the park. Also I loved seeing all the new threads to read with my morning coffee! Thanks for starting them DoesItComeInPink!
That is a super cute onesie geners . Where did you get it, if you don't mind me asking?
It came in a 5 pack from Baby Boden (link). It looks like they have slightly different colors available now, but they are super cute too. And so soft!!
13liza, I always feel so guilty calling out. I typically know because I'm miserable all night, so I end up calling and leaving a message on the office phone at like 1AM so I can avoid talking to anyone. I also always end up saying something along the lines of "If I'm feeling better in the morning or later in the day, I'll call and see if I can come in for some hours" but that's never going to happen, haha!
My work week is done (yay!) and I enjoyed getting to know my new intern, but it totally messed with my pump schedule at work. As a result, I'm not pumping enough oz during the day - even adding an extra pump after she goes to sleep, I'm still going to use a couple ounces of my freezer stash per day. Since I only work 2-3 days a week, I'm hoping my stash can get me through to the year mark and my supply will keep up on the days that I'm BFing her when we're home together.

Working from home today. Lovely. Can I tell you my mom is a hot mess? I swear, she is so scatterbrained. I love her and so glad she watches Emma but she leaves a trail of mess behind her since she doesn't clean up as she goes and just forgets things. I swear, I keep scratching my head on how she managed my two siblings and myself with two of us twins.
Something is going on with Emma, I think we have a combo teething and slight cold. Poor thing isn't feeling better on Motrin and snottier than usual. Just random moments of crying out. Poor thing. She has continued to amaze me on what she can do. In just a few weeks she is now pulling up, walking assisted, standing for moments unassisted (that is scaring me as I will turn and she has let go of whatever and just balancing), understanding all of her toys and how they work, etc.
You can see the kid she is becoming more than the baby she has been. My mom got sad about it yesterday but I am super excited. No offense but the baby period is not for me and while I am sure I will miss some of it some day, just not there yet. I love that she is trying to give kisses/eat you, even the temper tantrums (which to be honest started around 4 months), and just the processing of information. Her personality is out there so much more and I love how interactive she is. Just a lot of full but strong willed! Sheesh! She is going to be epic at 2 and 3. I don't want to squash it as I like that about her. It will be hard but I love how smart and opinionated she is. I want her to feel heard and acknowledged and respected especially as that gets harder as she grows up female in our current society. I guess I always felt some what invisible growing up with my two siblings and my parent's hostile marriage, and I want different for her.
Anyway, just pontificating this morning. Nothing special going on with me. lol.

Just got home from the Dr, F has a sinus infection and a virus...I took that to mean that the dr didn't actually know and just wanted to cover all his bases lol. He has an rx for an antibiotic, though. He's been fever free today so far.

We finally put our new convertible in the car. We ended up getting a Diono Radian and it fits beautifully side to side. It's a little tight front to back, but not too bad. We ended up putting DS in the new seat and the baby in DS's old NextFit so she could have a bit more recline. DS loves his new seat! More room and easier to get him in it!

We have had two sinus infections and they are....not fun. Sending get well vibes your way!
ugh, my boss is making this potential decision to relocate so hard! I love my job, and the people I work with, I just wish I could pick the whole thing up and plunk it in a different location.
I made some soap foam for baby to play with. Took her outside on a blanket with bath toys in a bucket and let her fish for them in the foam. She had a blast I'll post a pic if I can figure out how to mobile.
We are on vacay still, woohoo! And exhausted, but having fun. Clara is having a lot of big girl milestones this week (like fishing) so that is fun. Margs is just trying to eat all the pine needles.

I'm on Paragard and my periods are wonky too. I'm so over it. I was supposed to start Thursday or Friday. I began to start Sunday (if that makes sense) and now it is just off an on. I am wondering if it's ever going to really start and get overwith or if it's going to drag out. Either way, I am over this Paragard and will be getting back on my normal BCP after our next LO.
Don't tell me this. I just got mine on Thursday If it doesn't work out its tubal time
Can I kill my husband for waking the baby? I might anyways so there is that.
Met with the ped today. He ordered a bunch of blood tests and a urine test and wants to see us in 3 weeks.
Watching them take your baby's blood sucks, and the nurse kept twisting the needle because she missed, ended up blowing the vein and had to start again. She was a little trooper though.

I have loved it up until now. And, this may just be my body and not the Paragard's fault. I'm going to give it some more time to see if it straightens out.
