Random Wednesdays and Babies!

[goldenlove3]

What's everyone doing today?

[goldenlove3]

We finally have C's 6 month appointment today at 11 so I'm working from home today. Work is a shit show right now but it's hard to get anything done when C's awake.

What is the next standard appointment after 6 months?

[hangry]

goldenlove3 My doctor likes a 7 month appt. So random. Bc I'm on maternity leave it's no biggie, but would not want to take off time from work unless there was an issue.

I have no plans for today. I need to start an online course for continuing ed credits that are due by the end of the month. So lots of fun happening over here.

The next one is usually 9 months. Then 12, 15, 18, 2 year and once a year after that.

I'm going to guess my LOs are going through some kind of spurt or something bc holy headache they will not stop whining. They want me to hold them every single second, they don't get that mommy can't hold two at once. They wake early so naps a a requirement by 7:30-8am - they just fell asleep (it's 10). You can guess how much fun we're having.

Also, I dropped my laptop on my big toe. This might be more pain than delivery. And i better not get a black toenail and lose it bc I will vomit.

[ClassyMrsA]

kleigh We must be going through the same thing. So. Much. Crying! And I thought she'd pass out for a nap driving to dance class, but no. Wide awake. I mean, if it's a growth spurt I'm ok with it for my tiny girl, but I'm over the clinging and crying. Eta: sorry about your toe! My old horse stepped on me once and my toenail turned white and fell off. It was weird.

goldenlove3 Yup. 9, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36 and then yearly. I think the 30 month (2.5 yr) might not be super common, but everyone here does it. Who knew? So tomorrow they both have well checks.

Oooh ouch kleigh hopefully your toe is ok. B dropped the iPad on his toe and it was horrible; turned black, hurt from the pressure then he stubbed his toe and blood started gushing everywhere, lost his toenail and it's just gone back to normal. It was quite the ordeal.
Stupid technology.

No! I'll lose it! I can't stomach gross thins like that!!

[dashook]

GL to all those with appointments today!
kleigh, eek--I'm sorry about your toe!
tgrimes1980, girl, you need a break.

[dashook]

I just got finished ordering all the Mother's Day stuff for my mom, MIL, and my grandma. This is the kind of stuff that makes me feel resentful of MH because he never would even give it a second thought and gets to just go on his merry way assuming that I'm handling everything even though I have a shit-ton of work to do.

Going to AW some sib pics and then bounce because I really do have a lot to do and I need to focus. PDQ because I will poof them in a few hours.

Ugh, tgrimes1980. I'm going to overnight you a Costco sized box of airborne and vitamin c and also a giant bubble for you to live in.

[jubilantsquirrel]

Here's my silly baby.

Please include wine.

Well duh. I'll just ship you all the wine from Costco. At this rate you're going to be on that bubble for a while.



Side note: When I clicked on the tapatalk notification saying that you quoted me, I thought "I bet she's requesting wine".

[tjanca22]

Feel better tgrimes1980! Maybe just pour some airborne into your daily wine? Could be a good way to ensure you get the benefits of both?

FFTC? I can't even count the number of close calls I've had using the bathroom this past month. My weak bladder and nursing=drinking water all the time is catching up to me.

Here's the story, the bathroom in our area is under construction and has been since the beginning of the year. We need to go down a floor to use the bathroom in that area. I pee all the time so even when I plan ahead and go before it's almost too late, I swear my bladder knows when I'm walking down the stairs because it's like, free me now bitch or I'm going to pee down your leg. Basically by the time I get to the actual bathroom I'm like a mad woman pulling my pants down so I don't miss the toilet. Basically having 2 kids has ruined my bladder 😭

[goldenlove3]

C won't let me eat lunch or work right now. I thought vaccinations made you sleepy!!

LOL tot he bolded.

Would kegals help a little or do you already do them?

I try to do them when I remember, but having two kids has ruined that too.

tjanca22 Do them every time you pee...unless your bladder is screaming for you to free it.

I'm going to start doing this from now on. Maybe after a few months of training it will be role reversal and I'll make that bladder my bitch! #lifegoals

[hangry]

tgrimes1980 wtf to your sicknesses!?

dashook those pics are too cute

tjanca22 if you can prioritize it, I highly recommend a women's health/pelvic Physical therapist.

[kleigh]

@sarahwithanh So so so cute! Yes even when he's not smiling!

tgrimes1980 Ok no more sickness for you or the kids. What a PITA, the year isn't even half over.

tjanca22 I would be mortified if I peed myself at work. Although I once did get my period bad at work and had no idea until I stood up from my desk and felt wet. Also, it was summer and I was wearing light white/heather gray pants. Also also, my manager is a man. (ETA i was gonna say he was a man bc he's no longer my manager, I don't work there but he is still in fact a ma so not sure how to phrase that). I had to explain to him why I needed to go home. And then walk out of his office backward.

goldenlove3 Yeah immunizations usually make these guys groggy/sleepy. Maybe he's a little amped bc the initial bother of it, he might start winding down a little later.

This is a thing? I need to investigate

[sophiegrace]

@sarahwithanh we got a baby scale on Amazon when M was still on Zantac and we had to keep adjusting the dose for weight. I think it was around $50.

@tjanca I see a business opportunity here with the airborne plus wine idea. We can call it supermom juice.

[sophiegrace]

I'm sitting here trying to get M to sleep in her dock so that I can get some stuff done. She was sleeping really really well last night until H decided to play 20 questions with me about nursing. At 12:30 at night. She stayed up for 2 hours. Mr 'I would know these answers if I had read one of the thirty books my wife got me' slept through it all. I'm still salty AF. He knows that she goes into party mode when she hears his voice! DNW giggles and pterodactyl scream singing during sleep time. No ma'am.

[goldenlove3]

tgrimes1980 Seriously?!?! Does the same virus just keep morphing and coming back or something? That's crazy.

LOL tjanca22 I've had some close calls and I think I've peed a little if my bladder is full and I sneeze. Life is so fun after a baby lol.

@sarahwithanh I love that onsie!!

dashook I was thinking the same thing as waitwhat. It's like you and your H!

[goldenlove3]

I finally gave up and just put him down in his crib. I could tell he was sleepy but kept forcing his eyes open. He eventually fell asleep and I was able to eat my cold food. Now I'm semi-working and trying to finish 13 reasons why.

C's appointment went really well! His weight finally seems to be slowing down a bit but he grew 2.5 inches in 2 months! I could tell he was getting taller but I didn't expect that! I'll be updating his stats in the check in next.

[sophiegrace]

I actually felt my cheeks turning red at that story kleigh. Shiiiiiit that must have sucked.

2.5 inches?!!! goldenlove3 no wonder he's been so hungry, kiddo was growing like a week! That's amazing.

[ClassyMrsA]

tgrimes1980 Damn! You need a break. I'm so sorry you're sick again!

tjanca22 Haha! I've definitely had close calls. When I got that stomach virus about a month ago, I got up to pee motn and instead puked and peed all over myself. It was lovely. I have basically no muscles down there anymore. 2 kids absolutely destroyed me.

Such an adorable onesie and M is super cute too @sarahwithanh!

[goldenlove3]

Pictures!!

Being silly while I was trying to feed him:


Mr. Chunk at the doctor's office:

[goldenlove3]

waitwhat Yea we might need to discuss. I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since I started watching it.

sophiegrace I know, right?! He must be slowing down though because he has not been wanting to eat much the past few days.

[aggiebug]

ClassyMrsA the 30 month appointment is basically an autism screen from what I understand. The earlier it's caught, the early they can get help the more successful the kiddos are. It's a relatively new recommendation which is why it's not standard.

Ah. I feel like when she turned 2, it wasn't really a thing and then all of a sudden it was. We have to take Lilah in anyway so we figured it'd be an excuse to see how much she's grown (I suspect quite a bit). Plus, we have a few medical concerns like her weird sleep twitching.

Seriously dashook is that you and your DH sitting in that laundry basket as babies? Oh wait no it's your kids. They look so much like the two of you!!!!t They are Adorable!

Haha thanks!  It's funny; everyone thinks DS looks like MH (probably the head shape and fluffy hair), but his expressions (and the curls, TYVM!) are all me, if you see pics of me at his age.  I should find some and post them.
