Sorry everyone but it's Monday again

Hiya. We are back from our trip. We actually got back at 1:30am Sunday morning which means we spent most of Sunday doing as little as possible. I am le tired.

I feel like I missed so much. What's going on ladies?

Anyone else feeling baby movements? Last time I had an anterior placenta and as a ftm I didn't feel then until... 17 or 19 weeks? So feeling them as 14&1/2 seems crazy.

[hangry]

aggiebug Same for me. I had an anterior placenta before and didn't feel anything until 19 or 20wks. Even this time I thought I felt something at 13 wks but was in denial it could have been that. Now at 16 wks, I am sure there are flutters goings on in there.

[sophiegrace]

@aggibug I've felt definitive, but sporadic movement since around 13 weeks.

I'm at home waiting for the fridge to be delivered. FINALLY!!! The big dogs were picked up from daycare around five last night and except for potty breaks and feeding times they've done nothing but sleep. I say it every time, but I really need to get them there more often.

[hangry]

Today is a holiday in canada, Victoria Day. So I have a long weekend! Downside is that my little guy is sick. He gets bronchiolitis pretty easily after a cold and I think that's what's going on now. I haven't been able to put him down since 630.
We started his inhalers so I'm just hoping that does the trick and it's not something else like pneumonia.

[aggiebug]

hmm I am currently playing "should I wake the baby?" DD usually wakes up around 7:30 for the day. Being on CST for 10 days plus 2 nights of going to bed after midnight means that she is currently zonked at 9am. Usually I am a don't wake the baby however is it only prolonging the transition back to our normal routine?

or should I just nap while she is still sleeping. THAT might won

I went to bed and woke up feeling icky. I think it's probably from how terribly I ate this weekend. Mexican, chili, bbq, cupcakes.... Today I'm definitely going for super healthy. Fruit, salad, veggies.

We are supposed to go to a splash pad this morning, but it's all cloudy and I really don't feel like driving too far. I'd rather go to the gym again. It's 5 minutes away vs the splash pad which is 20.

I have an appointment at 11:20. Just a routine check. Doppler, measurements, vitals. You know. Gonna ask about when I should switch drs since we are moving in 2 weeks. Also going to talk to her about my anxiety and see what she suggests.

DH is going to the IB banquet tonight so he won't be home until after L goes to bed. Boo. But, my mom is going to have dinner with me so at least I won't be alone all day and she can play with L some.

+1

And I work Saturday
And we're having a party at our house Sunday that I've done zero prep for. At least I have Monday?

[sophiegrace]

Fridge guys are here. I never know what to do with myself when people are here doing stuff. I want to be cleaning, but don't want to get in the way or have them think I'm spying on them. Awkward.

[sophiegrace]

I really should have vacuumed before they showed up.

[sophiegrace]

Lots of drilling and banging. Wtf are they doing?

I'm noticing eleven billionty things that could have been cleaned/dusted/put away before they got here that I didn't see before. Also there are three guys here and I'm certain two of them are here purely for comic relief.

eh I'm sure they don't see any of it

I made a comment once about our house when they delivered a couch. They guys laughed and remarked that they see some nasty houses. Walking into a place that doesn't smell or they don't have to clear a space for their furniture is refreshing. Makes me feel much better.


Although I still feel like I don't know what I should be doing when they are there!

[sophiegrace]

Fridge is in and guys are gone. So big and shiny. I can't wait to be able to walk into the kitchen when I want food now.

I feel like this was adequate practice for live blogging my L&D in November

Next Monday is Memorial Day so we have a 3 day weekend coming. Getting there is going to be...difficult.

I'm supposed to have a 3 day weekend but I'm being micromanaged to death on one of my projects. They want DAILY call in meetings, including weekends. I'm going to tell my boss that I'm going out of town next weekend and won't have cell signal because DNW to deal with work during my break. It's not like I'm going to be doing anything to update them on anyway but they won't want to hear that.

Good morning all! Congrats on the new fridge sophiegrace! aggiebug , we're off schedule over here too. It depends how badly you want LO back on schedule. DS ha a nanny so I don't care too much how late he sleeps since it really doesn't matter much. If he was in daycare I would feel differently. In general, though, I feel like if they are sleeping they probably need it.

That's really annoying. Their home life must be zero fun if they can't leave it at work for even just a day or two. And to not realize you need to step back to recharge and refresh every once in awhile just plain stinks.

I decided to nap instead of waking her up . She woke up 2 hrs late. Last night was her first almost normal night of sleep so I decided to let her go.

I know my boss has zero home life. He was having meetings while on vacation with his family. I just can't do that. I absolutely need to unwind on the weekends and just not think about work. To have to wake up specifically to call into a meeting will ruin my weekends, especially a long one. Nope nope nope.

[goldenlove3]

Oh my goodness.. my Facebook page just reminded me that we brought home our puppy 6 years ago today. I'm about to cry at the cuteness!

Good Lord. This is overboard.

Will you actually have updates on weekends and holidays? I'm not sure what you do for a living.

I'm an engineer working in automotive. And no, no I won't. What I do need to do can't even happen at home. I need to do it at my desk where I have my test equipment but there's no way I'm coming in for that. People are just crazy.

I'm really tired today and in a bad mood. I just had one of those mornings where everything that could go wrong went wrong. It should not be this difficult to get a toddler fed, dressed & in the car seat every morning.

I'm secretly pissed at MH for being out the door before DD even wakes up. I know it's not his fault, but I have no idea how I'm going to get 2 kids ready,drop them off at 2 different day cares & still be at work on time in the morning.

Rant over.

I get secretly pissed at my H too for things aren't really in his realm of control. I suck so hard at communication.

My love tit was in commiseration. Some days it's hard enough to get myself dress, fed, and in the car on time so I'm not going to lie...I panic quite a bit knowing I'll have to add a small human to the mix.

[sophiegrace]

I want my sister to (one day) marry her boyfriend so that I can hang out with his family more. They're such wonderful and fascinating people. And took absolutely hilarious pictures of me slowly deteriorating throughout the graduation.

I know this is absolutely zero real help or consolation but you will do it, you will figure it out. It's a strong woman who can do most of the parenting and still stay sane, you most certainly have what you need to get through if you've made it this far.

Happy take home day!!!!!! Will he/she get anything special or do you guys not really do that? I seriously cry every time I look at / hug/ kiss my puppy. She turned 3 last week, but we adopted her in June (when she was 9 weeks old) and we celebrate her bday and adoption day.

At the time she was the worst most pain in the arse puppy and I even told my hubby to send her back (as ashamed as I am), I couldn't do it. But there's a whole list of issues we had with her. Thank god my husband is a stronger man than me, he took on 100% of the responsibility those first few weeks. When I look at her now I just fall in love every single time, she changed me so much as a person - brought me patience, understanding, dedication, loyalty, selflessness.

I would buy her something but she already has SO many toys. Maybe she'll get a special treat later. She loves watermelon and I've always wanted to get her a quarter just to watch her chow down haha. 

It's so crazy how much I forget about her PITA puppy phase. We have the chew marks all over the house to prove it but I still loved it and want another one so bad.

Hi ladies! Just got to my desk a little while ago from defending a deposition and now I get to start feverishly prepping for the hugely important depo I have to conduct tomorrow morning. Ughhhhh I just want to sit outside and sip an iced coffee in the sun.

[dashook]

Okay well I got the iced coffee to have inside. And a chocolate chip cookie to dunk in it. So today is not a lost cause after all.

I still have a bagel craving from like two weeks ago.

What is it with the bagel cravings?!?! Everyone keeps asking me if I have weird cravings.... I'm like, "nope just bagels".
