2. bexincanada, yay for sleeping through the night!
3. AW ahead. I took 1 excel class about 7 years ago and never really used it as an agent. One of my new bosses needed something re-created in excel from a PDF, it has quite a few equations and I just taught myself how to do it all. I'm feeling very accomplished.
4. I made the mistake of getting a PSL last week and now I've had 3 since then. I need to stop, so many empty calories!
5. Our week at the beach was wonderful! It was great to see mom out of her house and relaxing a bit.
6. Dad and I biked 15 miles one day and 12 another while on vacation.
7. PBS showed every Downton Abbey episodes a couple weeks back and I recorded seasons 4-6 since I stopped watching after season 3. Now I'm binge watching them all.
8. It is not helping with us wanting to go to the UK early next year! We need to make it happen.
9. SSG tomorrow and hopefully FET next month. OMG so close!
Me: 31 Wife: 30. Legally married 2008, thanks CA! TTC #1 since 11/14 using donor sperm. IUIs Jan-Aug 2015 BFN Sept & OCT 2015 added Femara. BFN Saw RE December 2015. IUI with Clomid & Trigger Jan 2016 BFN IUI #13 with Follistim April 2016 BFFN IVF #1 July 2016. 14R, 10F, 6 Day 5 embryos. 4 PGS normal embabies!
1. 2brides, Are your nails peeling too? When M got it, her pediatrician said not to be surprised if her nails peeled afterwards.
2. Yesterday M and I had an off day. She was fussier than normal and skipped her long afternoon nap. Then when she was nursing she bit me and I said 'no' sternly. I never talk to her that way and she did a slow motion boo boo face and cried and didn't want to nurse anymore. I felt horrible and was worried I ruined breastfeeding. It was so sad. She gets a lot of comfort out of nursing and usually wants to nurse when she cries so her not wanting to nurse felt big. Luckily she ate fine yesterday evening and so far today. I think next time I'll try removing her mouth and saying gentle.
3. I strained my wrist running and pushing the BOB with one hand. It hurts when I move it certain ways or put weight on it- like doing a push up.
4. M is outgrowing all her pants. I feel like she has lots of clothes but she's running out of pants and basic onesies to sleep in.
5. She's done nursing and tugging/playing with my hair. Time to move on.
CETs
6. There's a 30% chance I could be spending the month of November in the Yukon for work. Will there even be daylight?! Plus, their court days are like 4 hrs, so it will take a long time to get through trial. WTF even??
7. I shouldn't have started watching Homeland. I'm totally addicted, but it's actively stressful to watch.
8. It was good to have a weekend at home with M & CAR. During the week I start feeling like all my time at home is just getting things done and through the routine, without a lot of time left for playing and enjoying. It's probably also because I'm still wound from my day for a bit when I get home.
9. I can feel the days getting shorter. Soon I'll be going to, and coming home from, work in the dark.
10. CAR has been making me workout plans, and I think it's helping already. We've overall been eating well too, thanks to CAR's planning.

cetcar I have yet to start Homeland for that exact reason. I'll wait until I'm on mat leave so I can just binge watch it. I used the slower real estate season to get through 24.

2) cetcar-- sorry to hear about the biting and your wrist. I think C bit a little but it didn't last. We recently watched the last season of homeland. I didn't like it as much as previous ones but still good.
3) @beximcanada-- yay for sleeping through the night!!!!
2)2brides-- steak sounds so good. I wish either my wife or I could grill well. Hope the feet get better soon!!
5) I'm currently sitting in the doorway of C's room waiting for her to go to sleep. Or at least get sleepy enough I can leave. We leave the door open now, which is strange. But she feels safer with it open. She can't get downstairs. Only into our bedroom so it's safe.
6) my marriage is in a serious slump right now. It really seemed better after E was born but things have gotten bad again.
7) we scheduled an adult outing this weekend so hopefully that will help.
8) this weekend we fought a lot. I also feel like she constantly tells me what to do or is criticizing me. She is also more anxious about stuff with the kids. She doesn't like getting out of the house that much with the kids because it stresses her out. But we went to a festival thing. She worried half the time. I still had some fun but was stressful. Hopefully this week will be better.
9) i wish she didn't freak out about little things with the kids. Maybe when they are older our differences in parenting won't be so big. It seems like we agree on the big picture stuff but not little day to day things.
10) unfortunately the little day to day things are everything now.

I don't want to give advice where it's not warranted, but what about couples counseling to talk over the little differences in day to day parenting? That way it's a safe protected space, you both are heard and listened to, but you also can find common ground. My insurance covers our weekly sessions, and I swear it is the best thing we've ever done.

We did during the last pregnancy. It initially helped some but then not so much. L refuses to go back as the counsellor really annoyed her last session. I don't think she would agree to go again. Even if she did, childcare is harder to get now so not sure.
I am seeing a therapist to help me work through the stuff myself and try to keep things clean on my end.
1. 2brides , Are your nails peeling too? When M got it, her pediatrician said not to be surprised if her nails peeled afterwards.
So far, no. L's hands peeled terribly. Huge pieces of thick skin like she'd been burned. It was awful. My hands are still peeling a bit - but it is tiny places that look like a minor sunburn that is peeling. Maybe the nails are next? We are 1 month out and this is the disease that keeps on giving.
