I got to sleep in today because my mil is being honored at an event so I took the day off...it's 630 and I am wide awake. I guess that's sleeping in from my usual 515!
I think I'm developing a sty again. This school year has done a number on my body. I know a sty isn't a huge deal, but this is my third and I never had one until this year. Just like I never had strep before this year. I just counted and I have 31 days left with this class and 33 days of work left. I know I've whined about this year before and I'm sorry. I know I should be grateful to have a full time teaching position. I just hate this year and cannot wait for it to be over...

That's what happened to me on Saturday. I slept a whole extra 20 minutes than normal. I hope you have a good time at the event. What is MIL being honored for?
I'm so sorry stinybean. That's rough. It sounds like you already have a countdown to the end. You can do it!
I'm really liking this extra time I'm getting in the mornings with O since H has been gone. It's been nice being able to get to take her to daycare. But I sure miss H! Just a few more days! Have a great Wednesday, ladies!
Thanks stinybean . I hope your last 31 days Flys by!!.
Every year the local chapter of Israel Bonds has a dinner. In order to be eligible to attend, you have to buy a minimum of 5k in Israel Bonds, or roll over old ones that have matured into new ones. There is always an honoree (not sure how they choose them though) this year she was chosen. DH and her boyfriend are speaking. There is formal pictures for us, then cocktails, and hordourves,. Speeches and a few presentations. Then dinner. It's a big deal in the sense that there will only be about 85 people there. I was asked to be a chair for the event, so with my name being on the invitation and there being a lot of pictures taken tonight. I took the day off. I'm getting my hair and makeup done later, the baby has a pretty face dress and DH will be in a suit and tie.

J and I slept for 6-7 hours she's still sleeping in bed next to me and I have to pee so bad!! I'll just have to wait. I'm going to see my mom today, but I have to drive about an hour and half which sucks.
Oh I had a J15 dream last night! J and I were hanging out with budders and V and Vs twin brother :-O. We were making weighted blankets in support of budders students.
I feel like I have a clogged duct. It's been a week and a half since I last pumped and this came out of nowhere. Guess I'll give the Lactation support line a call to see if they think I should try to pump it out.
Book, hope it feels better. Can you put heat on it and use anything you might have in the house that vibrates to try and work it out.

Yay for sleep pghtruelove! So glad you got some rest.
Lots of errands today. I've got to make an ad to sell my car, go by the post office and grocery store, and find us all new health insurance. Our coverage through H ends next week with his last day of work. Adulting sucks.
Gorgeous weather here again. I've got one load of laundry on the line and the nappies are in the washing machine!
We went to music group this morning and saw L's friend A. We've arranged L's first ever play date for next Tuesday afternoon! I am really quite unreasonably excited about this.

That does sound like something I would do, but NO TWINS!
ETA: congrats on the good night of sleep! Yay J! Sorry, I missed that originally in my panic about two babies at the same time.
If it makes you feel any better all three babies were great sleepers(reason number 1 I knew it was a dream)
stinybean, you're almost there. You have done your best for him and have tried so many strategies. You've reached out for help from other teachers in your school and from us as well. That's all anyone can ask for. You have gone above and beyond for him. The end is in sight. Whenever I have a student like that (I've had 3 in 5 years) I remind myself of something that someone high ranking in my county said my first day of orientation. "Remember, he is someone's baby. He's the best _____ that his parents have to offer." Thinking about that always gives me some perspective on the situation especially now that I'm a mother. You've got this.
stinybean, I'm sorry for the rough year, and feel you on the random illnesses that never happened before. Since getting pregnant, I think I've been sick more than I was my entire life pre-pregnancy. It blows. Hope the rest of the year goes by quickly, and you enjoy a healthy, relaxing summer!
carrots, that happened to me after I weaned - I was able to get it to resolve pretty easily by massaging it in the shower, I didn't need to actually pump or anything. Hope it resolves easily for you too!
As for me, apparently I was really tired this morning, because I do not remember my alarm going off at all. I was dreaming, and H woke me, and was like, ummm... you getting up? I asked him (not nicely) why I would get up before my alarm. Apparently I had turned it off 10 minutes ago. Oops.
I'm home again today. My back feels a ton better but I don't think I'd make it walking to 6 classes, up and down stairs, while either carrying supplies or pushing a huge cart. By the time I finished brushing my teeth it started to hurt again. In other news, we're convinced O says Carl. It's a 2 syllable sound with Ca at the beginning and arl at the end. He shouts it when the dog comes in the room. Carl also recognizes it. He looked so confused yesterday when O was saying it over and over. It's adorable. We joked when I was pregnant that his first word would be Carl because I yelled it so much while O was in utero.
I'm sorry, stinybean. I had a terrible year last year and I had a few kids that caused it, but one in particular. I used to have a similar reaction as you to seeing him and it sucked.
Morning. H comes home in about three hours and then I'm going to get my friend's new baby girl an outfit or two! Yay teeny baby clothes!
jessila, good that your back is recovering, albeit slowly. And that's so sweet that O says the dog's name! The only sound that L makes with any consistency, apart from Mummy and Daddy, is "lele" for her favourite picture, which is a batik of elephants against a sunset.
I feel like I have a clogged duct. It's been a week and a half since I last pumped and this came out of nowhere. Guess I'll give the Lactation support line a call to see if they think I should try to pump it out.
This happened to me twice after I had stopped completely. Hand massage and minimal hand expression worked for me. It was beyond painful because the duct/spot was super tender, but it worked.
I'm terrified for this...I'm prone to clogged ducts but the only way I've EVER been able to get them out is to have DD nurse. No amount of massaging/hot water/vibration/anything has ever worked to get one out for me:(

Charlotte took her first step this morning! I stood her up so I could get a picture of her outfit (from the grandparents!) to send to them and she surprised me by taking a step towards me! I'm so so glad I had the camera out to take the picture:) They're slightly blurry but I was just reacting by hitting the shutter button 830253 times hoping to get anything;)
I have a question for the collective mom experience here... Fever while teething, is that a true thing? The Internet is confusing on this issue. J has had a fever since yesterday, not too high, 101.5 and lower, we've been treating with Tylenol. I'm positive she's also teething, holding her mouth funny, biting her hand, cranky, etc. Have your LO's had fevers while teething?

Some doctors say it isn't real but I think we've come to a conclusion that it is. O always runs warmer than normal while teething, 100ish, but is uncomfortable anyhow. I've found that he responds better to baby Motrin and it lasts longer. Are J's gums swollen? That's the indicator to me that a tooth is definitely coming in. Good luck and hopefully quick teething.

For his first few teeth, DS ran a temp just a couple degrees warmer than his normal, which I'm convinced was teeth because he was fine otherwise, and then his teeth popped through. We only noticed it at night though. The last few teeth I haven't noticed a fever, though to be honest, I also haven't taken his temp in quite a while.
Also, +1 to Motrin. We've been using it exclusively since he hit six months. I'd keep an eye on her, and maybe put a call in to the doctor only if the fever lasts more than a few days or she's also having other concerning symptoms (more than just teeth crankiness).

carrots that's hard! Im leaning towards the not going, unless, you don't enjoy DH's family and need an excuse to get out of spending a holiday with them;)
carrots, I lean don't go. Thanksgiving isn't going to be what you want it to be in a hotel/restaurant. You can do Thanksgiving with H's family (assuming this is a pleasant enough option for you), and then do a make-up with your family the next week or something. I know you're technically still "allowed" to fly at 33 weeks, but I remember how horribly big and uncomfortable I felt the entire third tri, and there's no way you'd get me on a plane that far along.
carrots Total anecdote/personal but I wouldn't because I had DS very unexpectedly at 33 weeks, even after a clean bill of health check up the week before. I realize that's just a fluke of the draw, but that's where my gut always takes me when I see people question late travel.
ETA-onviously if you felt comfortable being in salt lake if on the off chance something DID come up, then that's different too.
And we're on another day of cold and rain, I even saw a bit of slush falling down so far. Yesterday I stuck to chores between playing, today will be more of a baking day. I've got muffins and a peanut butter/marshmallow bar in the plans.

I have horrible back issues, while the muscle relaxer that I am on isn't conducive to nursing, I take it right after we put the baby down for the night. It is out of my system before I have to pump or nurse again. Might be an option to help you through the night.

I had thought about that since O mostly sttn. But because I thought it he read my mind and has woken up the last 3 nights and nursed.
carrots At 33 weeks I might go because I love weddings and I'd hate to miss out on thanksgiving with my family too. I do think it's pretty lame to schedule a wedding 3 weeks after your own sister is due though and if I were her sister I probably wouldn't go!
