Omg I slept terribly. I woke up at two and didn't fall back asleep until six. I have a ton I need to do but I was too tired to get up and too awake to sleep. My whole body aches now and I'm sooo sleepy.
Luckily H is home this weekend so I can get stuff done! Hooray!
Fun story: driving home from dinner last night we stopped for gas. It was already late and past the kids bedtimes. Well, the battery died. We had been waiting for it to go and it did then. Not convenient BUT I'm so happy the kids were in good moods, it wasn't in the middle of the hot Texas heat and it was both of us there and not just nanny and the kids. Plus the gas station attendant jumped the battery and got us on our way in a matter of minutes. all on all, not a bad series of events:)
Glad to hear moving is coming along theophania! So sorry someone called at 6 though...were you able to go back to sleep for a little while afterwards?
What an adventure coffeequeen14! (At least I'm sure that's what your kids were thinking ) Glad everything worked out!
Last night we went to see the new XMen movie before it was due to leave the theaters. Got home at 1:30, had a super late dinner then we finally went to bed at 4am. Slept ok, but got up around 7:30ish b/c the baby was super active this AM. We are having our baby luncheon today so it'll be nice to see some close friends we haven't seen in awhile. For the ladies having showers today - enjoy!
Tim Hortons for breakfast. Now I need to do about a million loads of laundry and we're tackling our baby to-do list. Hoping to get everything ready this weekend, we'll see!

I fully realize this is a first world problem, so feel free to skip over if you're not interested in my whining.
We got previews of our photos and I am so disappointed. She did a great job (so to be clear, not the photographer's fault) but DS was so miserable (nap strike) and looks it in every one I've seen so far. His hair also got really messed up and I could not manage to fix it, so there's a huge chunk sticking up in the back. And of course I feel like I look disgusting and huge.
This whole stupid thing sent me into a hysterical tailspin last night - mostly along the lines of "if I can't even get my one toddler to be relatively pleasant, how am I going to handle two kids?" and "I can't believe I wasted her time because I always hate how I look in photos anyway."
hashbrownnofilter, thats too bad, I am sorry you were disappointed. I hope the others look better.
So mh is off to Japan today! luckily it is just a week this time. It will go fast I am sure! But when he comes back I can look forward to a 3d ultrasound and picking up our stroller.

I hate how I look in the maternity photos we got done, I won't even look at them a second time or post them. I got them for the future though. One day you will appreciate having them and when DS is older you and him both will be entertained by the photos of him during nap strike.

katelm I'm glad I'm not the only one!! I changed my dress at the last minute (H vetoed the original one) and I just feel like there was too much fabric to be flattering. You're right though - I'll appreciate them eventually. Unfortunately she posted them on Facebook right away (and tagged me) so that's kind of adding to my feels about the whole thing.

She posted on her Facebook page feel free to tag and I didn't She's a new photographer so not too many followers at the time. The thing I hate the most is my face, it's huge. I'm not used to have a swollen face. I will say I appreciate seeing the photos of my mom pregnant in my own baby book.
I have learned recently to love the photos even if I don't like how I look or if my toddler doesn't cooperate. A) I enjoy having photos remembering exactly how she was if that makes sense she is a good kid but stubborn and only likes doing her things I love that I have photos that capture her true essence b) even tho I often think I look terrible I'm glad I have something to remind me that I grew a child and nourished someone with my body
Jumping in for help. I have 2 parties to attend today. Ones a grad party at our tenants house, ones a surprise party at a cute restaurant. Does this dress look okay? Or should I go with something more form fitting? I feel like i look huge in this one but I know that could be in my head.
Hola! The toddler is finally napping so I can breathe again. Of course he wakes up at 6am on the day my H is off playing golf.
I can't remember who made the ensure suggestion, but thanks! I've been sipping on chocolate ensure all morning and it's kept me full enough to keep nausea away but not so full I feel like I can't breathe.
My girly has been so SWEET the last few days. She snuggles with me on the couch, and she has never been much of a snuggler. I get all these random acts of hugs and kisses. She is talking up a storm all at once. Even mornings like today when I am a huge grump because I was up past 4am for no reason, she just goes with it... and then sneaks in a hug while chanting "mama! Mama! Mama!"
Now... I have to go kick the SO out of bed, scrounge something for kiddo and me to eat, and try to just be humanlike for a few hours til I can convince kidlet to take a nap with me. Haha
theophania, good luck with the move! I know how much a pain in the butt moving can be, so I wish you smooth sailing!
steph, everyone else is right, that dress looks great! And so comfy!
hashbrownnofilter, at this point in pregnancy I feel landwhale enough on my own, even if it was my mom saying something like that to me, she would get both barrels to the face. "You don't expect me to thank you for that, do you? How rude." No jokes on your username intended, but some folks really DO have no filter and deserve the staredown they get.... but then, my tolerance for bs organ must live near my stomach or something -- the bigger I get, the less I can "stomach" hahahahaha oh I crack me up.

Add me to the no sleep club. DD was up every hour for the first 5 hours of the night and each time she woke up it took me 20-25 minutes to get her back down. Teething is the worst! Then by the end of those 5 hours, dh had to get up for work and I always have trouble sleeping after he leaves (at 5:30am). I was able to finally fall back asleep around 8 this morning and then DD was up for the day at 9. I also couldn't sleep during her nap time because something was going on in our apartment complex and fire trucks, ambulances and cop cars were blocking the only path to my home. So a large chunk of her nap time I spent sitting in the car waiting on them to move. steph that dress is adorable! hashbrownnofilter I'm sorry you don't like the pictures I hate all of DD's newborn pictures that I'm in because my face was SO swollen after my cs.
I want to be my 3 year old for a day. No matter how upset he is, or what about, 5 minutes watching the lobsters in the tank at Wegman's has him all smiles and right as rain.

Went to a childbirth class all day today. MH made lots of jokes, but was mostly a good sport. They went through the stages of labor, did breathing exercises, relaxation techniques, and labor positions including all the things that have available at hosital. They also briefly covered medical interventions (epidural, c-section, induction). Overall I really liked it.
Me (30) MH (32) Dx: MFI (low all the things) M. 10/11. TTC Since 01/14 IUI#1-3(Letrozole + Trigger) = BFN Second Opinion. Changed RE's. IVF 09/15 Long Lupron 12R/9M/8F, Transferred 1=BFN. 4 frosties. FET #1 12/15 Transferred 1 (3 still on ice)

My in-laws are here visiting. I already snapped at them. They're actually super nice people, I'm just so easily annoyed by the pregnancy concern. It's actually not that helpful. We were outside and I got a little overheated, and everyone was all "oh, get some water. Here, sit down. Oh, go in the shade. Why don't you do this? Why don't you do that." Hello, thank you - I can't imagine how I did this for 33 weeks without your advice! I'm pregnant, not incompetent! Give me a second and I'll be just fine. BACK OFF. lol
Evening. We've had a quiet day. H went with me to run errands, we watched OITNB, and then went swimming. I need to take a nap soon.
Does anyone know if Motherhood or the Macy's Motherhood section has their shapewear in store? I need some smoothing spanx/shorts for a dress I'm wearing in 2 weeks so I'd like to get them asap.
DS2 fell at the playground He is complaining of foot pain and can't walk. I am in a panic spiral that he's broken something and will have to spend the summer in a cast instead of the pool and tumbling class.
Today we rearranged/installed car seats in the van, set up the baby swing, sterilized the bottles, and cleared out space in our bedroom to put the crib tomorrow. I'm exhausted! Getting closer to being ready though.
Tomorrow we will (hopefully) have the crib and dresser set up, and we are borrowing my parents recliner instead of buying another glider. Then all the big stuff will be ready!

Oh no!! I hope he's okay and it's just a little pain that clears up fast.
As a kid, I broke my arm on one of the last days of school. It was broken in three places, needed to be set in the OR and required a cast that went up over my elbow. I was a pool rat and competitive swimmer so the injury RUINED all those activities.
I was sad. Really sad. But, I still managed to have fun with my friends in non-water activities once the swelling/pain went down enough that I didn't need the sling (so, like a week). An arm isn't a foot so I could walk/run, but I couldn't climb, ride a bike, play ball games, etc.
It sucks to break a bone in the summer. TRULY. But, it's not all doom and gloom! Promise!
