DH finished off the milk and DS and I were planning on having cereal for breakfast and yes, I cried. Now I'm hungry and nothing sounds good. Have to leave in a half hour so DS can go do some work for my dad so I don't have much time to figure out and prepare breakfast.
I ended up having poached eggs on toast with garlic salt and shredded cheese lol. It's been my go to breakfast for the last month. So it was good, and healthy, but not what I really wanted. I'll probably have to pick up milk and then have cereal for lunch
beckyrosen, I would have cried too, that sucks! Eat all the cereal for lunch. LadyNymeria, yeah to last busy day, boo to possibly working late.
I am eating my feelings today because my Dad told my sisters and I he in cancelling his life insurance that we're the beneficiaries of. Long story short, my Mom passed away a few years ago, he married my Mom's nurse less than a year later who is a gold digger and horrendous person altogether. Since they got married he has systematically removed us and our children from his life (aka, I haven't seen him in 8 months, and talked to him on the phone maybe 4 times since then). And now it feels like with cancelling this life insurance policy, it's the final way to cut all ties with his children. Just makes me sad, I really don't know what we did to be abandoned. Anyways, sorry for the overshare, hope everyone is feeling well this week!
f14mama that is awful. I'm so sorry, family drama is always the worst.
So my nipples leaked in the shower today. This is very exciting to me since I have hypoplasia and chances of exclusively breastfeeding are slim. I didn't produce any colostrum until like 39 weeks last time and then only drops at that. I was able to hand express a fair amount multiple times from BOTH sides. I plan to bring it up to the midwife tomorrow but I'm trying not to get my hopes up.
Good luck flyakite. I do mine on Friday, I too am hoping to get through it without puking. I haven't had too much nausea lately, but that drink tends to bring it back for me.

f14mama, I am so sorry. I can't imagine how much that hurts.
@snuff9861, it could totally be your colostrum. Mine came in about 2 weeks ago (very early, I know). FX for you!
The air conditioning broke in my car and, on the one hand, we really don't want to spend the money to fix it. But on the other hand, I told DH that there's no way I can go through the whole summer without AC.
I'm sorry f14mama Good luck flyakite I hope you got your cereal for lunch beckyrosen About to watch the Bachelorette with my sis! Besides that not much going on today.
flyakite I'm worried about keeping that down in a few weeks also.
After an hour trying to get DD to nap I asked her if she wanted to nap in the 'bus' (van). She was all about it and fell asleep immediately. I'm now stuck in my driveway. Do they make toddler size swings??

Just left a message at my dr office. I mentioned it in the weekly check-in but my left leg from about the knee down has been feeling "weird" since yesterday afternoon. I thought it was feeling better this morning, but it's feeling off again. My idiot self Googled and I'm all paranoid about the potential for a blood clot now, even though I have no history of them.
Pretty sure I even started my message to the dr off with "I'm sure I'm being paranoid, but..." If both legs felt the same I wouldn't even be questioning it. Waiting for the dr or nurse to call me back and tell me to relax, and that it's normal pregnancy puffiness from sitting at work all day.
fem my toddler is not napping these days either...it is making me crazy. i have just been letting her have quiet time in her crib but it makes for a rough afternoon!

*hugs* I'm so sorry you're going through this. It sounds absolutely terrible. H and I are in a sort of similar situation with his dad, so if you ever want someone to commiserate with, feel free to hit me up.
Work is super busy today. I had a light breakfast and am just now getting to eat lunch. I really need to start putting snacks in my pockets if people are going to expect me to be in meetings all day.
Oh yes. Anytime I go anywhere I have something in my person now. At a minimum, a couple of packs of saltines and some fortune cookies from the last time we went for Chinese. While I was traveling it was a couple of bags of peanuts.

They said because it's not painful or red, and the difference in swelling is minimal (left vs right legs), it's probably nothing. Told me to hang my heels off the edge of a stair to stretch the back of my legs a couple times a day and to drink tons of water (she was impressed with the 100+ oz a day goal I set for myself already). Also to see how it feels in the morning because even if it doesn't completely go away in the morning, improvement after laying down all night is a good sign.
I'm to call back in a couple days if there's no change / the water and stretching doesn't help, or right away if it were to get worse.
So sounds like it's nothing to worry about, but she was happy I called to let them know.
LadyNymeria I had this exact same thing on Sunday! I seriously thought I had a blood clot and almost want to go to the ER. I slept it off and the next day it felt better. The pain kept going from ankle to calf and then knee. It was very strange!

Oh man! Can you do quiet time in her room? I know it's not as relaxing as a nap for us but maybe could teach her to have some down time for when the baby comes?SaveSave

Glad yours went away! Hopefully I follow in your footsteps!

I did yesterday with her tablet which I think is the only way she would stay in there (can open doors now). Then I feel mom guilt over too much screen time. But it might be worth my sanity .
