Good morning!
I am sitting in G's room watching her trash it. My stepmom and little brother are coming over in a little while. At 9 I am going to shower and start cleaning like a maniac. My house is not bad but the bathrooms need to be cleaned and I have to put clothes away.
I have to work for a few hours tonight which will suck because MH doesn't get out until 8 so I won't get to work until 9. It will be a very long day for me.
I put a chicken in the crock pot. 😊

Woke up to snow on the ground but it didn't stick on the roads so that's nice. I need to grocery shop in a while and then I will take M to open gym. I work Tuesday and Wednesday this week so I feel like everything is thrown off.

Heavy hearts up north today. Really struggling with why people choose to hate others.

I think I'm going to start donating to some of the refugee funding initiatives and will be doing everything I can to make people around me feel safe and welcome.

Hugs. It is horrible.

Hi! DH is taking A to gymnastics this morning. I love that he is doing this, but I really wish he wouldn't wait until the last possible minute to get up.

[lgsdesigner]

Having a ravenous day.
Want to eat it all.

Eli now sings parts of songs.
The other day the Megan Trainor "About that Bass" video was on and when she goes "I ain't no size two..."
Eli echoes with "Size twooooo!"

😂

Hey ladies-
E used to always poop after I would put him down to sleep. I started checking on him every night before I went to bed & would change him if need be. Now, the past couple of mornings he has pooped in the middle of the night & has been waking up with a SORE butt. This morning he just screamed when I changed him. Any ideas on how I can stop this? I have also been using A&D, is there something better out there?
Thanks!

Maybe feed him fiber-rich foods about 2 hours before so he goes before bed?
We give Eli a banana and a little diced up avocado.

I would say you need a barrier cream overnight. We do coconut oil since it's CD safe but you might be able to find something thicker that might be even better.

I'm eating lunch at home today. Currently sitting watching TV. I need motivation to return to work.

No advice, but this sounds awful.

However on the 15 minute ride to daycare, C sat in the backseat singing so sweetly. I love it.

I love it when L does this. So cute.

Eli loves both those songs too! The issue is we had to stop with 24K because he said "Shit" when Bruno did. Hahaha!!

Does anyone have any home remedies for teeth whitening? My coffee consumption is messing up my pearly whites.

[marygracerich]

I couldn't beg G to nap yesterday. Today she is at 2 1/2 hours and counting. 🙄

My sister swishes peroxide in her mouth. I've never tried it because DNW to taste or risk swallowing it. My friend has done this too.

Hi!
I have been driving all day. Made the long trek to one of my appointments and now I am waiting at my Hs work for his shift to be over. I get to do it all over again on Thursday as well because I couldnt line up my apppointments this week. Blah.

I have been catching bits and pieces of the news today and although I feel deep sadness, i am mostly really, really pissed.

This shit is NOT what we stand for.

[obi]

And fuck Sean Spicer with something hard and sandpaper-y for using this attack to justify Trumps policies.

[lgsdesigner]

I have had two random coworkers tell me that I am dressed like a school teacher today.
Not really sure what that qualifies as. Must be my dress and tights?! 🤔

[lgsdesigner]

obi - I was irate the entire weekend over the Trump shit. Cannot take it.

[bethypoo83]

I need for DH to be in a decent mood when I get home. My day was ridiculous and I need a hug.

Also, wine.

[robotpcr]

I have chili cooking on the stove and M is stringing beads on pipe cleaners on the couch next to me.

[obi]

So. Many. Braxton. Hicks.

I had read that you may get more the second time around but holy smokes. They're taking the wind outta me.

Ugh, annoying. That would be so different for me since I didn't have any with M!

It really is weird! I had a few with C but they were only in the last week or two and not very strong. Very different this time around.
Physically I was also a lot more comfortable with C than I am now. Im carrying way differently though so that must have something to do with it.

That's annoying. I'm sorry. I had sooooo many with G and truthfully I had regular contractions for weeks too. I was already 4cms dilated when I went in for my first cervical check at 38+3

I was working at target at the time so I was constantly standing and walking. Occasionally I would have to stop what I was doing and breathe through contractions. That happened for several weeks before that last dr appointment. I went in, she checked and I was already dilated to 4. That is what made her decide to do the membrane sweep. I had G less than 24 hours later.
