B has slept horribly the last few nights. She had been sleeping in her crib for naps and a good stretch at night before starting DC. Now she refuses to sleep anywhere but our bed. I'm exhausted and feel guilty when she cries at night in her crib. DH says something has to change but he brings her to bed when she cries, doesn't even try to get her to sleep in her bed. Today will be a busy day at work. Too many people off and 3 doctors in. I hope the day goes by quickly!
MM fell off our bed this morning, so that's some sort of parenting milestone, right? She literally landed on a pillow though. The fall freaked her out for a minute, but then she was NBD about the whole thing because I immediately distracted her with petting the dog.
I'm just glad that pillow fell off the bed right before she did... or maybe she's just super smart and pushed it off on purpose??

Another +1 for crappy sleep here. DD woke up screaming and wouldn't stop shaking for a few minutes. I really do think she had a scary dream of some sort. Speaking of dreams: I had a dream last night I was watching Luke and Ivy for @hazeldublin, and she showed up in the middle of the night to pick them up because she missed them so much. In my dream, I thought "It must be pregnancy hormones, because I'd do just about anything to have a night to myself." That made me chuckle this morning.
A 2 day a week position just reopened at my old school. I kind of want to apply for it but then I remember that it's 3+ hours of commuting per day. And the administrators there are terrible. And I came home crying a lot when I worked there because the admin was so bad. Okay. Talked myself out of it. But I do really miss my work wives.
Day 2 of summer. We're going to actually go to the pool today. There's a 0% chance of rain so we should be safe. It doesn't open until noon meaning we will go between naps.
We've officially dropped one nursing session per day over here!
It's been a really slow week at work this week, and that always makes it really hard to motivate myself. I function best under pressure when there's tons of stuff to do. When the workload is light, it makes me want to do even less. Hoping I can motivate myself at some point to get my ass in gear and work on a few longer-term projects I've been putting off.

Just hanging out at home today. Getting J's playroom in order and probably playing outside with the water table on the porch. Can't leave home today, AF came and it is awful. I need a bathroom every half hour. Sadly I'm soaking three pairs of shorts because they are ruined from yesterday. Sorry for the TMI.
We also had a crappy night sleeping. LO fell asleep almost as soon as we got home from swimming and we both were hopeful she would be so tired she'd STTN but no dice.
We're headed to our zoo today, making this our third zoo in a week, hah.

I feel your pain, I got my first pp period last month and it was unreal, so painful and so heavy. I never had periods like that so if the next one is the same Im getting my iud out to see if that helps

I'm so sorry! I've had a few like that pp and it is awful.

Going to the library today with SIL and nieceto play and also to sign up for summer programs. Then going to order LO cake for Sunday. I'm trying not to be nervous that it's too late by now, and trying not to be frustrated with MIL. We had 100% planned on taking care of it ourselves ages ago, then MIL volunteered herself to pick out and buy the cake. Cue SO asking her every 3 days or so if its ordered, her assuring him that she's on it, then fast forward to her calling SO yesterday asking if we can go order it cause she hasn't yet. Like I was planning on just making one myself anyway but she insisted she buy a professional one from a bakery. I'm not surprised at all at this happening, I just wish I had worked on a back-up plan!
Anyway, nap jail +2nd coffee = I really need to pee!! Go to sleep my silly wiggly one year old!
Good morning ladies! We don't have much planned for the day since E has been insanely clingy for almost a week now. I'm really hoping that it passes soon. We might try our apartment's pool later if I can catch it empty. Last time we went the water was super cold, but E was in there long enough to get an idea of how fun it could be. I hope you feel better soon pghtruelove, PPP are the worst!
I'm totally distracted at school today because my mom is babysitting. I hope my child survives the experience!
H has her 1-year appt today. FX she does ok with the shots!
Tonight is my dad's 60th bday and we're having a crab cake party. All my siblings and I made a different recipe. Mine are spicy crab cake with guac topping. We'll see how they turn out!

Rainy and drab here today. Usually I really love these days because they mean reading and snuggling but today is my Home Visit day so I'll be trudging in and out of clients homes. Definitely threw my hair in a ponytail bc DNW to see it untamed at the end of the day!!
Charlotte has her neurologist appointment today as the follow up to the EEG she had done last month, but I'm not worried about it at all. I'm certain everything is fine.
I was super sick last night. Seems my "morning" sickness is hitting me more in the evening this time around. With C, I would wake up fine, get sick as a dog around 11 am and then be miserable for the rest of the day. So, we're making progress! Not getting sick until 6 or 7 at night. Although last night I had horrible bowel cramps (TMI) and basically curled up in the fetal position all night.
I am going to tell my boss today. I haven't told him yet because I didn't need him White Knighting me and being up my butt the whole trip we were just on. But, I think it's time he knows. Also, the bloat is looking more like a small bump, so it's bound to come out sooner rather than later.
Oh, and I have an OB appointment tomorrow. Wish me luck. 10 weeks on Friday.
@scoop, that is about where my hair is and its so much more manageable but not short mom bob so it still looks cute and styled - I think you will love it!
It's burger day at the grocery store so we usually go walk to the library, post office, and store for burgers. It's looking like it will be really nice for that today!
Otherwise, basically just still counting the days until H is on summer break! 6.5 days! We booked our "big" camping trip of the year last night for August!
MH left his email up on his computer when he left for work this morning and I can see that he has an email from the company he interviewed with last week. I can only see the first line that says "attached is your offer from [company name] for..." It's taking all my self control not to open it. But there are also like 7 attachments, and I know he'll tell me all the important details as soon as he gets a chance to read it, and I don't really want to sift through all the info. I just want to know the good stuff.
Not going to lie, if I saw this, I wouldn't be able to help myself and I would look, and also fess up to DH that I looked, but I would look none the less.
LO had his 1 year appointment today. We got referred to an OT for his lack of chewing food. H thinks it's unnecessary and we should just keep working on it at home. I tend to agree, but we will see. He did well, but got 4 shots Usually when they have that many, a nurse comes in to help. Today they must not have had any extra hands so the doc just did each one, one at a time. It was brutal. But over quick and LO seems fine now.
You guys...DS1 is SWIMMING! H sent me a video of him (he's in his intensive class this week) and he was doing it all on his own! I'm so proud of him!

Just sprayed the poison ivy in my yard and side lot while oscar napped. That shit is out of control this year!
Going to the mall later to find some rock and roll jewelry for my nephews 5th birthday. He made a drawing of how he wants to look - leather jacket, red Mohawk, and basically gangster rap jewelry. But he wants to look like a rocker, which is what he wants to be. Kid takes guitar and piano lessons and is pretty good! Anyway, everyone from my family is buying part of the outfit and I'm on jewelry duty. I really love that my sister decided to indulge him in this for his birthday.

veggiemo half of the time problems correct themselves before a specialist even gets started so there's a chance you won't even need OT if you keep working at it! However some kids just struggle more than others and need a little help, no shame in that. The shots sound terrible! Thank goodness it's over!

You could always wait a few weeks to call the OT and see if things start to improve at home. I understand your H's hesitation about going, as parents, we never want to think that anything is even remotely "wrong" or anything less than perfect with our kids. But on the other side, maybe a little help is just what your LO needs to help him with his eating. Either way, glad he's doing well now after those shots

Yeah, the doctor said if he improved by the time the appointment rolled around I could just cancel. No harm in getting him scheduled in the meantime. Thanks for the encouragement!
jillywilly, budders, thanks guys! Yes I will make the appointment We've been down the therapy road with DS1 with some weird speech issues he had that have since resolved. Honestly, I don't think therapy helped him, it was just something DS1 needed to work through on his own. That's why this time it's sort of a hesitation. Getting him to and from appointments and setting it all up can be a pain in the ass, so I'm just lazy and complaining. We will get it done!
