Fiesta Friday!

[hotcoconuts82]

We made it through another week!!

[lgsdesigner]

We did! :::whew:::
And what a week it was.

[hotcoconuts82]

I pulled a muscle in my back. I've been using those stick on mediated patches. I never realized how much hair was on my lower back until it was time to pull it off. Ouch!!!

[lgsdesigner]

Eli was up most of the night. Hello, 20 month sleep regression! He kept waking to eat.

Owwwww!
Try taking a warm bath and then using a roller or exercise ball to gently stretch the muscles.
You can also lay back on a heating pad.

As a weightlifter-- muscle injuries are things I get every once in a while, and these things help.

DH and I had a great time on our day date yesterday! Went to IHOP for breakfast/lunch, then went shopping for new clothes. We also went to Starbucks and sat, cuddled and talked.
We were going to head to the art museum but we were feeling lazy.

Thanks! DH thought I could totally help carry the new recliner from the basement to the family room.
The chair weighs more than I do...half way up the steps I realized what a horrible idea that was. Stupid man ideas!

hotcoconuts82 - I mean--- you could take that as a compliment. He obviously thought you were Wonder Woman!

This is true!

Working from home. It's snowy and I've got a cup of tea. It's not terrible.

My job is insane right now so I'm glad to have a day where people can't come to my desk and bombard me with their shit. Lol

[lgsdesigner]

Damn flakey sitters. We were supposed to go to a good friends birthday party tomorrow night at the casino. I feel bad I can't go now.
Eli is VERY particular and I know some new person watching him would not go well.

I'm so happy it snowed!

Hi all. I have been up since 4 again. This time not because of MHs alarm but because I am now used to getting up at the crack so my body was ready to go at 4. I laid in bed trying to go back to sleep until 7 when G got up. MH is off today so he went to Tims and got us breakfast.
The positive about being up so early is that I have already showered, had breakfast, started a load of laundry, passed said load into the dryer and unpacked like 6 boxes. I also tried on my bathing suits for my upcoming vacation. It's not even 10:30 and I have done more than I usually do in an entire day.

I could pass on the snow but it does give the day an even cozier feel.

We are home from the pediatrician's. M has a double ear infection. And an eye infection. Poor baby! I'm glad I listened to my instincts and took her in. I'm never one to take her in for a cold but this seemed different. Now Sesame Street is parenting since we couldn't go to play group.

Damn! That's a lot.
I hope M heals well.

[honda13]

robotpcr, feel better M!

I'm working at another office today. It's always so weird. Idk where anything is or who half these people are.

Poor girl! Lots of rest and snuggles today.

Oh no hotcoconuts82 feel better soon. I use arnica on my muscle strains. It works wonders!

One time my husband wanted to workout with me--never a good idea because we are too competitive--and he was convinced I could do handstand push-ups if he held my ankles. I basically knew it was a horrible idea (since I can barely do regular push ups) but he insisted I at least try. Well i ended up smashing my face into the ground and straining my shoulder. Heat, Motrin, arnica and a lot of anger towards my husband helped me heal. We no longer work out together.

Hope M feels better soon robotpcr Sesame Street is also parenting K--but because I'm 38+ weeks and can't get my gigantic butt off the couch.

I am praying labor is right around the corner- having tons of BH, cramping and pelvic pressure. I was 1.5 cm yesterday at the office. Fingers crossed. If not I have a membrane sweep scheduled for Thursday.

Also I signed K up for gymnastics today. I'm more excited than she is but I think she will love it!

[amylee545]

Working today! It's been absolutely crazy lately... there's no way I'm getting out on time today. But, MH won't be home from work till 9pm at the earliest because he has some event going on today. I'm seriously looking forward to some alone time.... wine + chick flick + self-pedicure

[hotcoconuts82]

flyinghorses6 thanks for the tip! Husband's have the best ideas, don't they.

Fingers crossed labor is in your very near future!

[lgsdesigner]

flyinghorses6 - Yay! You are sooooo close. Can I guess a birth day?
I am going with Thursday Feb 2nd.

[flyinghorses6]

I would be so happy to be delivered Feb 2nd and home for the Super Bowl! And my husband would be happy too. @lgdesigner

The girls I work with have a bet on the date and weight. Of course no one will tell me what they guessed...

[hotcoconuts82]

I had a dream last night that I saw Brad Pitt at jcpennys. He had a mullet. I was pretty upset about the mullet and confronted him about it. Lol

Fingers crossed it's soon!  Can not imagine parenting a toddler and being that pregnant, ugh.

M loves her gymnastics class so far.

[CatLady]

cosmicav, what is the baby status? How are you doing?

[bethypoo83]

Working away over here in the snow.

I have a call at 3 and have to pick up J at 5. Today is his last swimming lesson. I'm really glad I don't have to take him since it's DHs turn. I'm over it, especially since he doesn't seem to enjoy it that much.

After my call I'm going to clean up the kitchen and prep Js dinner. I worked from 8-11 last night so I don't feel guilty about slacking a little this afternoon.
