Randoms of the Weekend

[robotpcr]

DH's feeding M breakfast and then we have her gym class this morning. I hope he makes coffee. Tired.

My dear child who used to sleep until 7:30 is now up at 545-6. WTAF.

And I'm going grocery shopping this morning. I'd bet money that H will put her down for a nap by 10. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

I'd murder him.

I'm going to my friend's baby shower today. I'm side-eyeing it a little bit because she had a baby in July 15. Whatever, I guess. She's not throwing it for herself (thank god) so maybe she didn't even want it. I pretty much just bought her breastfeeding stuff because I can't imagine she needs much else.

Good morning ladies!
Today I am heading to Long Island to get my taxes done. Then dinner with my grandma and family tonight. My grandmother is having surgery this week and she wanted to get together with everyone before surgery.
MH is home with G so I have a few hours blissfully baby free.

This weekends plans are on hold because 2 out of 3 kids have colds.

[flyinghorses6]

Still no baby here. I actually had contractions for about 12 hours Thursday, but no closer than 5-10 minutes apart. For the last 24 hours I haven't really had any contractions at all, so just cleaning the house and trying to relax today. I just want this baby to come by my due date (Tuesday). Induction is scheduled for the 12th, and I really don't want that.

I've seen DH all of 15 minutes this week, his work schedule has been awful. So just trying to survive working all night and solo parenting until bed time. On the bright side, I have 3 shifts left before my maternity leave starts on Wednesday.

Good morning.
DS slept horribly last night. He woke up so many times. Then he decided he wanted to stay awake at 6. Now he is sleeping...not sure what this day will hold. Hoping maybe this will put him back to going to bed at a decent time. Lately he will not fall asleep until 11-12! Sounds like many others are having similar issues. This to shall pass!

I'm at work all weekend. And I picked up Monday 3-11 and really regretting that. All my patients are whiny AF today and I can't even handle it. They're whining about the stupidest pettiest shit that doesn't even matter, and treating this place like it's a fucking hotel/restaurant. News flash: it's not. And I'm not your bitch.

A girl I know threw her own "Sprinkle" at her house and registered for it, after having a baby 2 years before. So much sideeye , I didn't go cuz I was angry about it lol

Ew. Nope nope nope.

Super Why is parenting today. I don't have a single ounce of energy and I doubt that will improve anytime soon. DS loves him some Alpha-pig.

[robotpcr]

Home from gym class. M ran around like a crazy person. Like she seriously did laps. Thinking she will nap well. That's good because we have a lot to get done before DH leaves for London tonight. I've already stocked up on wine. After her nap he's going to take her to the library for a while to give me some baby free time, which is nice.

Oh Amylee this could be a post from me. I especially have no patience for patients who are "done being pregnant" and are LESS PREGNANT THAN ME!

[smilesp]

There better be some good food at this shower and definitely cake because I purposely didn't eat much lunch.

[marygracerich]

OMG I have to pee so bad and I am in traffic. Heeeeeelllpppp!!

M is so set in her bed time routine that she insisted on brushing her teeth before her nap today 😂. But that's ok because I forgot to this morning. oops.

I think she officially dropped her after school nursing session this week, she did not ask for it at all. It's good, because she would just follow me around whining from the second we walked through the door until I could change into something to nurse in. But it also sucks, because I liked that relaxing cuddle time to unwind together after being apart all day 😢. Now H expects me to help him with shit instead

Aww! That would make me sad. Are you all done now or do you still nurse at other times?

[laur1020]

Y'all, the loaded potato griller from Taco Bell is everything.

[robotpcr]

Does anyone watch The Blacklist? I've been binging on Netflix and need to complain about it!

I watched!!!

Oh good!  You must listen to me bitch about this now.

SPOILER: Click to show

So I just watched the episode where Liz "dies" and I'm super annoyed because clearly the show did not actually kill off one of 2 main characters mid-season. So of course I IMDB'd it and of course the actress is in the next season. Like, this is not a bad show. The acting is really good and I just feel like it's super lazy/manipulative storytelling to try to make the audience believe that this happened. It would be different I think if all the characters believe she's dead but you give the audience an inkling that she might still be alive but to play it off like nope, she's totally dead I find super annoying.  And I don't even understand why.  Like for the emotional grab or something?  I don't get it and I'm annoyed.

It was awful. And there was nowhere to get off of the highway to pee for miles.
For those of you that have ever been to Brooklyn there is a tiny little gas station on the belt parkway with a tiny bathroom. I had to go there. It was gross.

ugh I'm sorry you're dealing with it too. The other nurses I was working with today were complaining about the same thing to me. Is it a full moon anytime soon?? It's usually only this bad when there's a full moon

[robotpcr]

DH took M to the library. Yassss. I think I will attempt a nap. When he gets home we have to have dinner and then he's heading to the airport.

I know someone with a M15 baby whose now having a May17 baby and is throwing her own "baby celebration" aka baby shower. She was such a tacky AW about it too. She posted a FB status tagging close friends and relatives asking if they wanted to come (gauging interest to decide to have it or not), and she did the same thing for her gender reveal party a few weeks prior to that. And she insists gifts aren't necessary, but shared her registry in case anyone wants it....


I didn't respond at all. Because etiquette.

[seventythree]

Hello hello! Don't mind me spamming M15 while DD is playing independently for a hot minute.

DH recently started on a new schedule, the good news is that it is consistent (he was rotating days/nights before), the bad news is that the only time he's around to help me is in the morning....and he is not a morning person. We are all adjusting.

ok so people are just being assholes haha. I was trying to give them all the benefit of a doubt but nope. Undeserved apparently.

This showed up in my FB feed. I was nodding along a bunch.

Related: I talked to my BFF for maybe 20min earlier today, and during that time she had to tell her M15 kid to stay out of the washing machine...and then mine grabbed and spilled an entire cup of (thankfully lukewarm) coffee on the kitchen floor and stomped in the puddle.

[linny12]

W now has a twin bed in her room, for either her or me, and her crib mattress on the floor but still in her crib.

I'm not ready for this.

H is pushing for her using the twin and I'm just like dude, you've done bedtime 10 times and MOTN 1 time while I was in the ER. Sit down with your opinions.

[robotpcr]

Nooooo. DH told me they have signs at the library that they're closing March-August for renovations. It's good because it needs them but that's where our favorite storytime is. I'm going to cry if it doesn't happen that whole time.
