Mother's Day Weekend Randoms

[cavewmn]

I feel like I have been hit by a truck and Ursula is trying to steal my voice. 

[melody330]

Sorry you're feeling crappy cavewmn

Our day started off at 7am with a 20 minute temper tantrum in the crib because I went to get ds instead of DH. I can't reach him in his crib if he's laying down so I had to get dh to help.

We just got back from cheering on my mom at a 5k on the bay. It was so so cold.

Trying to warm up under some blankets and movies with ds now

[cavewmn]

melody330, Sounds like a great way to start the weekend

[sarcaztic10]

cavewmn I'm sorry you are feeling crappy. i hope you can relax and feel better soon!

I have to make a meal plan for the next 2 weeks and a shopping list so we can pick up all our groceries tonight.

Tomorrow DS has swim lessons and I am hoping to relax some.

Hope you feel better soon cavewmn!

I've just been uncomfortable and crampy all day yesterday since my GTT and this morning. Trying to take it easy but I have to have DD and the dog out of the house in about 20 minutes for a 45 minute showing window on our house. FX these people want it. I officially wrote our realtor this morning and gave 2 weeks notice to sell or pull off market. I just can't do this anymore.

I got to sleep in and take a bath this morning and am about to sit down and go over the draft embryo adoption paperwork with H that we got from the lawyer.

I may pick your brain at some point about this.  We're not 100% sure we're done but getting there.  We have 4 perfect PGS tested frosties and if we don't go for another we'd love to help another couple have a family.

Any time. Mine weren't PGS tested but all 3 are AA graded as were the two we transferred. There are a lot of ways to go, some more complicated than others (anonymous through an agency, donating to a friend). By choosing to donate to someone here I am opening myself up to the possibility of having emotions regarding seeing pics of those babies ect.

H actually has more emotions about that than I do however but both of us have sat down and hashed out every angle and played devils advocate and still came to the same conclusion that this is what we want and the best way to go about it.

I woke up this morning feeling great! DH had stuff to take care of so I took DS and our dog for a hike. Now I feel like crap, but I have a family birthday party to go to this afternoon so I'm trying to rest up.

I'm sick of everyone telling me to take it easy. None of these people has offered to clean my house, entertain my toddler, walk my dog, write my report cards.

[glaze]

cavewmn sorry you're feeling crappy, hope you feel better soon!

I'm trying to figure out something to do with the kids. It's decent outside today but I'm so tired and nauseas I just want to lay around. The kids are going stir crazy though.

I think I want to go get a backyard swing/hammock so that I can lounge out back while the kids play.

[housecarder]

Ugh I want this headache to go away!

[rungirlrun]

Feel better cavewmn and housecarder!

Did a family 5k this morning. I started out pushing the stroller, but thankfully my H took over shortly after the race started. Had a blast, and both H and I placed in our age group! Then DS had a blast at the kids run - it was really fun watching him race with a big smile on his face. I think he is already taking after his parents with his love for running! And littlesthobo, my mom told me I need to stop running so much and let baby relax. So yeah, I can stop running, but I can't exactly relax with a toddler! But I don't want to stop running - I feel good and am not pushing myself too much. All is ok!

Now off to 4 open houses. We are down to the wire to find a place to live so crossing my fingers we like something and can get our weekends back soon. Here's to good house luck for both of us ellebelle!

Happy Mother's Day to all!

So I decided if I am still feeling this bad tomorrow my in laws can suck it because I'm staying home.

[lostinfaith225]

Hello! I went to my bff's baby shower today!

I changed a diaper blindfolded in 15 seconds! I won the game! Haha

This is where I'm at. But my MIL is insane and made a FB invite for Mothers Day Dinner (at her house). She order four trays of food. It's just me, dh,ds and SIL coming. She's over the top to say the least

[melody330]

I also made a banging dinner tonight. I'm proud because I'm a terrible cook.

I made sweet potato fries, chicken with balsamic, roasted red peppers and mozzarella without a recipe. I'll call it a win!

Wow. I know they are only having pizza. I think your MIL has mine beat in crazy on this. LOL

[cabbagecabbage]

I spent the day with my mom, sister, and our kids. Mom lives out of town so she got a hotel room and we all went swimming and out to lunch. It was a great day except my sister dynamic issues exploded and my sister was super angry with me for being stern with her son because he kicked her. It was so stupid and was 30 years of sister tension exploding put of nowhere. I refused to engage in a dumb argument or apologize for telling a child not to kick his own mother. I swear. I love my sister so much but she and I can turn at a moment's notice. Today, it wasn't my crazy. It was all her.

I got called off work tonight and I'm eating m&ms and drinking sparkling water in a hot bath. My Mother's Day gift to myself.

She is so unbelievable passive aggressive. It's no skin off my back, she doesn't bother me at all. I think it must be exhausting to be so manipulative. I'm just glad she hasn't caused any problems between MH and I . She does seem to try very hard sometimes.

So I've slept in, took a bath, ate, napped, did a small project with the kids, took more Tylenol, put the kids down, and now waiting for H to make it home with takeout before I go to bed early. Still can't shake the headache but no visual disturbances, my BP is fine, and the girls are active. I'm definitely calling the OB first thing Monday morning but I'm not bothering today or tomorrow because I don't want to go back to L&D for a headache.

Found out that I'm getting a new washer and dryer as a Mother's Day gift! So excited that I won't have to run the dryer twice any more or put a weight on the washer so it latches and spins dry.

Allow me to whine for a few minutes. I'm having a rough few days. I have so much stuff I need to take care of and I'm finding everyone I talk to on the phone and at various companies incompetent. I've had 2 long days of dealing with paper work, making a ton of phone calls and parenting by myself because h was working. Friday was my bday and No one was around to celebrate with me. I just called h at work and told him I'm not doing a single things tomorrow, that's he's getting up with the baby, I'm sleeping in and if he did some stuff around the house while I was sleeping I would really appreciate it. Hoping tomorrow was better then the last few days.
