Morning everyone! Thanks for all the splinter tips! Last night when Mh got home I was grabbing B's hand to show him (bc it seemed like it wasn't really getting better during the day) and it did work itself out at some point! Thankfully, because me holding down his arm/hand even just to look at it was pure torture! My new friend is giving us a ride to music time at the library while Mh goes to an interview today!! We have everything crossed! Maybe my tmi can be that we extra hope he gets this job so we can tfas this and next month like we planned!! Hope everyone has a good day!
SIL left today, good bc being a hostess is exhausting. I want my routine back I have to prep for the Spain interview, have to make sure I can say stuff well in Spanish, plus my work is doubling up at work-work. And I didn't have enough groceries to pack LO the perfect lunch so I stopped and got her a bagel. I got some for her DCP too but one of them is fasting for Ramadan and now I feel terrible for putting a hot bagel under her nose during that. Plus! I got a coffee from the bagel place but I'm 99% sure they gave me decaf bc I'm still so sleepy. Grrrrr. TMI, I am pretty sure I'm just cranky bc I'm starting to PMS like crazy. PMS these days = the worst mood swings ever. Have to watch it. Cute pic from last night:

Good morning! I'm headed to a splash pad with my neighbor friend in about an hour. Besides that I'm not sure what's going on today. Probably will go to the gym later this afternoon/evening.
bkmama0 so exciting! Spain! That's awesome. My dad actually goes once a month for work to Madrid and loves it. FX for you, too!
AFM I have clinical today and TMI, am dying from AF. Ugh. I'm hoping the schedule isn't too heavy today at clinical and I can get out at a decent time. I want to come home and cuddle my heating pack and some ibuprofen ASAP!
My Tues isn't too bad. Still not getting a good nights sleep, but it is what it is. I had a good mtg with my boss this morning. And work so far is going smoothly.
Leo has started to hide or go to another room to do #2. And then he comes over and points at his diaper. Is this a good sign that I should start potty training?
TMI #1: I ran out of deodorant last Friday. I've been wearing DH's. TMI #2: We FINALLY had sex! Last time was when this baby was conceived so 13 wks ago. DH was not happy with the changes down there, I have a lot of discharge.
Lo actually slept in today! I thought I'd be able to push nap until after lunch since he got up later than usual, but no such luck. He was a crabby disaster so I put him down earlier than I planned. Now I have to be at lunch with my friend in an hour.... Hopefully he's in a decent mood.
They're redoing the roads in our neighborhood this week and it's a total pain in the ass. We can't drive on the road for a few days so I had to park my car clear on the other end of the subdivision so I'm not trapped. Plus the asphalt stinks, so I can't open the windows even though it's nice out.
My period is still going strong on day 6 and it's making me grouchy.
reginaphalange3 good luck to YH! bkmama0 I'm sure it'll he nice to get back into your routine. Good luck with your interview! BabyStandish have fun at the splash pad! kcrus fx for a light workload at clinical so you can leave early. littlelion dh did that to me last month. He ran out of deodorant so he took mine on his business trip. I had to be stinky until he came home.

Helloo hellooooo
Not much here today. Waiting on nap time so I can work out & hopefully do some school work. I procrastinated badly on this paper and am no freaking out about getting it done. Ughhh. I'm hating school right now.
We're also going to sign the contract with the contractors tonight. So they'll be getting started on our house ASAP.

GL with the paper and signing with the contractors.

Boo for your period. Have fun @ lunch with your friend.
I finally remembered my TMI question I've been meaning to ask for ages: STMs and mom's who've stopped nursing: how long did it take for your milk to dry up? I'm not leaking, but I can still get some to come out if I hand express.
Lo was really good at lunch and we went to Target afterwards. Just as it was our turn to check out lo bumped his lip on the shopping cart and he lost his mind. He was screaming hysterically and I was trying to soothe him, wipe his bloody lip and check out all at the same time. Everyone was staring at us. Thankfully the cashier gave him a sticker which distracted him enough to stop screaming. We couldn't get out of there fast enough.
ourcrazynavylife that's exciting! I think you said you were redoing the kitchen, anything else?
Nothing much going on today. Went to a local farm stand and discovered they were more like a nursery. I got two tomato plants and a tomatillo plant. I'm going to be overrun with tomatoes this season and I can not wait! I have about 200 mason jars from our wedding (decorations) and I can finally put them to another use! The weather has finally warmed up. When LO wakes up from her nap, maybe I'll put up the pool. The news said to expect thunderstorms so they might roll in this evening. I tried the new strawberry lemon limeade granita thing from Starbucks. So delicious! LO loved it too, helped keep her occupied while I grocery shopped for lunch.

ashlantic we weaned in December and I've noticed the same thing as you. Weirdly I also feel like it correlated to when I'm ovulating. Like that's when I notice it.
Sorry about lo's lip. Stickers fix everything
As for the house, we're doing a lot! Gutting the whole kitchen, all new windows, new flooring in all the living spaces, rewiring all the electrical. Once all the repairs are done we'll be repainting the exterior as well.
The master bath needs to be gutted at some point but it's not in the budget to do it right now so that's a one day project.

ashlantic yes, I could express milk when I tried. Sometimes a little, sometimes more (not sure what was causing that). I stopped bf'ing last Nov and this was happening even before I got pregnant. And poor LO, hope he didn't get a fat lip.
Ch was being a gigantic boob monster so I had DH make her a sippy of WCM. She typically doesn't like WCM but this time she took one look at it, goes "Cup annada Muk!", swipes it, and chugs it right down. Now she's giving her Elmo a few sips and saying nummy! Between chugs. Jeez Louise.

Girl, I would tell him if he's not happy about it you can go right back on pelvic rest. You didn't get knocked up solo. Love it or lump it, buddy!

They can be too cute even when being a pain. I couldn't get upset at leo for stealing my taco at dinner today. He kept making such happy noises as he chowed down.

Too cute. I love the little wows and oohs when they're interested in something. LO is going through some kind of mental leap slash growth spurt- I guess this is why the 18 month mark is so important? In the past few days she's gotten a lot better at distracting us from bedtime and prolonging it as much as possible, mainly through acts of great cuteness, affection, and asking for milk/food riiiiight as we start dimming the the lights. Her bedtime is officially 9pm but she stretched it out and is just now actually going to sleep at 10 (with much crying). Plus the boob monster thing. It's no joke. Cuteness and exhaustingness levels are at max.

bkmama0 GL with your upcoming interview! Totally feel you on loving the family coming in town but then loving getting the routine back. That's how I feel when we have family in. Also love that Ch "shares" her milk with Elmo. Cute! littlelion Boo for the discharge but I'm with kcrus - YH can zip his lips or zip his pants right back up! ourcrazynavylife GL with your demo!!! We basically did a full renovation of our house and it sucked sucked sucked - and it was just DH and me then. Can't imagine it with LO! ashlantic I'm still milky if I express. We weaned in Feb. Also your target checkout sounds awful, and I would have needed a drink stat. raven Super jealous of that salad!! I need to do tomato plants next year. I think it would be fun to show LO. kcrus Hope your day went by quickly and you were able to go home and rest. BabyStandish Hope yall had fun at the splashpad.

AFM - I'm freakin pooped. I've been messing around with enrolling for classes this week because I needed prerequisite overrides from two department heads. But I got them and I'm officially enrolled for Human Anatomy and Developmental Psych for the fall! I must have lost my damn mind because I'm going to be soooo busy. LO has also been super cute lately. I miss him so much during the day and love coming home to him at night. Will definitely not enjoy missing out on a few nights every week this upcoming next year. I really hope DH gets with the program and turns his attitude around. He's been better but I need him to be at least 90% supportive and to keep the other 10% quiet.

So unfortunately it wasn't actually an interview today, his friend was just meeting him to discuss the job and let him know of other jobs he know about in the industry. So hopefully leads to something but no immediate answers.
But B and I had a great time with my friend at library music time and a picnic lunch at a park after! He woke up super crabby after his second nap but ended up perking up and we had a fun night as well! It is such a cute age! (even though it can be so challenging!) laceysbryan hope YH gets his act together! Sorry you're missing your LO more but glad he's being so extra cute!
