It's spring break!

LO has a cold. And has been miserable since Friday 😞

Easter was adorable with K. She hardly napped so bedtime was a complete shit show. Im Pretty sure K is afraid of mh's uncle since she wouldn't even sit in her high chair during dinner. I had to hold her and she buried her head in my chest. She did this on Christmas too when he was over. All other times she's at the ILs she's fine. I dont blame her. He doesn't take care of himself so he's a medical mess and it shows. Thankfully my ILs are very understanding since they aren't huge fans of him either. On the bright side it was so nice to get some good quality baby cuddles.

E is going to give me a run for my money. This weekend she learned how to go down the stairs and how to climb the ladder for her slide (it's only 2 rungs and then the slide). Both good things, but things I want expecting so soon. My 2 year old niece just learned how to go down our stairs lol.

LO makes a fuss to step down for big steps, like leaving the house, like she can't do it without help, but if you tell her no and she really wants to go where the step down is she can totally do it. Lol. She loves little steps she will just go off and on all day

The last few days have been so busy and I'm so tired. It's exhausting watching a child in a house that hasn't been baby proofed especially when there are stairs. J tripped and fell chin first onto a coffee table and cut his lower lip on a tooth. He's fine, but it was a little scary.

I think it's time to go down to one nap. He still acts like he needs a morning nap, but then there are days where he won't nap in the afternoon if he naps in the morning. I'm not ready to drop the morning nap. Boo. I usual shower and stuff during that time.

Car is getting service and it's gonna be a 2hr wait. Ugh!

Going to the dentist today and the derm on Thurs! Finally pulled the trigger on making appts when I realized I can't get a pedicure until I see a derm and we are going to FL in two weeks and my brother's wedding is 3 weeks after that. Lol

J's molar finally broke through the gums making it officially her third tooth. I love my strange child! 😍

Yesterday sucked balls. I got my new student loan payment information for the year and it went up $500 more a month. My income did not go up an equivalent amount to warrant the change. I called and spoke with a lovely woman only to have my phone hang up on her. Called back and got some unfeeling robot who just spouted policy back at me. I started to cry on the phone and couldn't stop. Thank god my came home right about then and took over from there. End result is we need to wait until he gets his info for the year which should be by the end of the week.

On top of all this MH backed into his mother's car when we were leaving for the movie.

Good times.

There was a home explosion a couple of miles from us a couple of days ago. Two people are dead, one is in critical condition, and a child is in the hospital. The house was totally leveled and it took hours to put the fire out. The house is still smoldering this morning. I can't stop thinking about it. It's really shaken the entire community.

That's terrible. So sorry to hear about that.

Hugs SheilaTheTank. Hopefully it'll work out soon.

Our A/C is out...you know, right after we sent 5K on all of J's medical expenses and can't really afford to replace it and just in time for summer. The people that came out yesterday are recommending we replace it so we are getting a second opinion and will go from there, but more than likely we are just kind of f$cked.

[rachelilly23]

Anyone else see the calling all toddlers post? I backed out slowly. NOPE NOPE NOPE SHE'S STILL A BABY!

[ltlbandito]

Tonight after we watched Wheel of Fortune J fussed until I picked her up. Then she pointed so I went that direction. Every time I stopped she pointed again. It soon became quite clear she wanted us to take her to get ready for bed! (I thought that was what she wanted but I was trying to get MH to come help...)

A few  of us posted over there. It's nice to have a more active board. The topics on the parenting board don't interest me much and our board is sizzling out.

The 10th time my mom asked me if she wanted me to do my laundry, I thought why am I saying no? She clearly wants to do it. Lol. Thanks mom

If I don't get my period today it will be the longest between cycles since I got my period back... or...

I keep going back and forth.

Have you considered getting a window air unit? We work in property management and some of our apartments are completely cooled by them and they work pretty well (if you get the right BTU) and they are fairly inexpensive.

We would need two, one for our room and one for J's room. J's room has windows that slide open so I'm not sure how that would work. I'm also not sure if the HOA allows them. 

The HVAC people didn't show yesterday. They finally called well after their scheduled time and rescheduled for tomorrow so I guess we'll see. I'm not thrilled with how flaky they already seem. Everyone we've talked to says the prices we were quoted from the first people are astronomical though .

My cycles have been gradually getting longer, total mind fuck since we are TTC#2.

We have been wavering between NTNP and TTA, with a plan to start trying this summer. I write down the first day of my cycle but that's it, and I do not remember the dates we DTD, I remember thinking at the time that 1 felt like borderline could be near the window, but I'm not sure.

My cycles had been getting shorter and more normal each time until now (not that I've gotten that many, since late Nov). That being said I don't "feel pregnant"
We were very actively trying with LO and I knew I was pregnant, I knew it before I tested at like 9 DPO and I got a squinter. I swear I could feel it before I missed my period. Well if AF is a no show today I think I'll pee on something tomorrow.

Hugs on the cycles! TTC is so stressful! Are you still nursing? I am wondering for myself if that is actually what happened this month LO was sick and nursed a lot and it took like 2 weeks to get her back to only 1 MOTN feed, so maybe that messed me up...

Topamax is a bitch yo. It makes me anxious, dizzy, sleepy, my hands, feet, and face tingle. I'm not really sure what's worse, the migraines or the side effects.

J was so happy this morning. He babbled all morning, ate a good breakfast, was generally funny and sweet. It's so hard to leave him on days like that. I'm sure he's going to do fine going to daycare 5 days a week. I'm not sure I'm going to do fine. There are nights I watch him sleep on the monitor and I wish I could just go hold him because he doesn't want to be cuddled anymore and I miss that so much.

[jewel441]

Negative... I'll test again with FMU in a few days if still no AF

[jewel441]

Officially not pregnant, which is fine. Will now have AF on vacation bc of this lateness, which sucks.

That b*tch! 😉 I hope you enjoy your vacation in spite of AF!

I took a class at the gym today. A woman brought her baby to class and it slept in the carrier in the back of the room for the entire one hour class! My babies must be broken or something because there is no way they would have let me do that when they were newborns! Maybe the next one will be the type to chill in a carrier. At least that's what I'll have to tell myself if I ever TTC again.

We had been wavering between TTA and NTNP, we will probably start trying this summer.

J's gums are swollen in a few spots. She stuck my cold finger in her mouth earlier today, and it felt like she'll have 3 more molars and 2 canines soon. She got her 4th tooth today. It is one of her top front teeth
