Womp, Womp. It's Monday

[littleredfish]

Boo. I have no food in my house so we need to go grocery shopping. I also need to start making our packing list for the house trip. We leave Friday morning. I'm part excited, part stressed. I see flying with DD2 either going great or terrible. No in between.

[sunfrogger88]

Good morning! littleredfish I'm sure it'll be okay!

Nothing new here. H is home with E today as part of this in between arrangement. Hopefully he hears from the job he applied for today and we can start to move forward.

Morning!

Not much going on here. E didn't sleep as late as I wanted her to so all her naps are going to be done early today. Might be a three-nap day. I have no plans so it's fine.

I was feeding her before this nap and she fell asleep on me, so I put her up on my shoulder so I could get her to the swing. She snuggled in so close and it was so sweet and I started to get all misty because I really miss having a baby asleep on my shoulder. But I know she won't sleep as long that way...and I'll end up in pain

[samelly]

I'm taking the four year old for her shots today. I am tally forgot about it but she started complaining about it last night. Oops on her part.

I decided last night to get F to fall asleep on his own if possible - not really sleep train, but not rock him to sleep either - because his sleep has been awful lately.

He cried for 8 minutes, I went in and replaced his pacifier and rubbed his back for a few minutes and he knocked out. Then he slept til 1:30, then again til 5:15! I feel like a new woman.

Other than that, nothing too exciting for me today. I'm waiting for client feedback on some work I submitted on Friday, so that might come in.

My H has a job interview though, so send any and all extra vibes you've got his way!

[allycat]

fuzzylogic, I miss those sweet snuggly naps too. Now if F sleeps on me, he kicks/claws/punches the whole time.

Hi ladies. Just here trying to recover after a very busy weekend. Ive got a contractor coming after work today, to give me an estimate on my kitchen backsplash.

Someone in my other BMB mentioned having BLT's for dinner and its making me really crave a BLT right meow.

Damn you. Now I want one. Mmmmm...bacon. K, going to Panera for lunch.

[sunfrogger88]

yummeecookee ooh, that sounds good!

I have a meeting in 10 minutes with a manager from an internal posting I wasn't selected for to get feedback on my interview/qualifications. FX it's not awful because they're planning to post more jobs in the same job code because people keep getting fired (it's very much a new mgmt managing attrition/performance scenario).

Boo Monday!! And I'm pretty sure my boss will be in the office a lot this week. Double boo!

[ldubhawksfan]

DD slept really good last night with only one wake up at 5:15, and is still asleep! I have a feeling that she will sleep until I leave again this morning.

We had dinner with some friends last night. They have a 10 month old and it was so cute to watch them. But she was sick, and DD's nose seems to be a little more congested again this morning. Hopefully she can just rest it off today.

I need to do this. I heard to put them "down drowsy but not a sleep" and never bit the bullet. I liked the cuddling while rocking her to sleep. But now I think I've messed up because she doesn't seem to self soothe if she wakes in the middle of the night.

Well not 100% sure what is going on now with my toddler and the Hand/foot/mouth. He is going back to the doctor. We are on now day 6 on fevers up and down. no rash or sores on hand, foot or mouth but today he has a rash all over his groin area and is barely eating. Ugh send good vibes my way.

BLTs with chipotle spiced sweet potato fries are actually on my dinner menu tonight! It's like 95 here and grossly humid and we only have a/c in the bedroom so I'm anti cooking today haha

[yummeecookee]

Sounds great melimo1315. I told mh were having blt's in the near future for dinner. I had already paired them w sweet potato fries in my mind.

Did they do a strep test when you went before?

That's a tough one. When we put C in DC they asked if we wanted to hear about his "firsts" or not. In the end, we chose to be informed if he did anything new. They've never mentioned anything that I haven't already seen yet. So I assume we saw all his firsts so far!

yes came back neg. They actually did a whole blood panel on him. So far he is clear of mono (THANK F-ING GOD) but they definitely agree it is HFM, they are just hoping it is nothing else. His right tonsil over severly  swollen with spots. After the blood work comes back we need to take him to see an ENT. So much, poor kid. On top of all that we have to hope my LO gets nothing. 

[younglove316]

colinsfebmommy I hope your little guy is feeling better soon!

[younglove316]

We went swimming today and DD2 was enjoying splashing around. My husband is on vacation so I'm really excited for the family time, and the extra set of hands
