I am continuing the trend of using alliteration in the title of random's thread.
DS had a rough night. Nightmares maybe? He just kept waking up. I finally brough him into bed with me and we slept until 7. I am tired. Nothing planned for the day except hanging out and spoiling the dog.
Nothing terribly exciting here today either except circle time. I want to start another sewing project but by the time DS goes to bed I just want to be lazy and lounge around.
I'm working on scheduling a ton of things for next week: lunch dates with friends, a zoo trip, dropping DS at MIL's so I can shop for maternity clothes etc. Mh will be gone the entire week so overall that will blow. The silver lining is I tend to be more productive when he's gone so hopefully I can get the house in order.
DS was up from 4:30am to 7am and then finally slept another 45 minutes but of course I was up at that point. Must. Haz. Coffee.
On a related note, did you know that an iced decaf coffee from Dunkin has over 100mg of caffeine?! I was so sad. I thought I was keeping well under the 200mg recommendation by getting decaf when I go but that's more caffeine than is in a lot of full-caffeine things I drink.

I'm a little flustered and frustrated today because i'm having issues with my DD taking one million hours to eat 4 bites of food. I won't bore you with the details, I already unloaded a Dear Diary on my S14 buddies.
I went to the gym yesterday. That's two days in a row. So much better than last week's completely blissful ignorance of exercise.
I'm LOL'ing a lot at the Melania Trump "quote" memes.
Sometimes, when I read the fun things you guys do every day (either those of you who are SAHMs, or those who have off for the summer), I get super jealous of the time you get to spend with your kiddos. And then reality reminds me that you also have to take care of your kids all day and show some semblance of patience... and I remember why being a working mom works for me.
Eek! My H and I are taking the day off tomorrow and taking DD to an amusement park with one of my besties, her H, and their LO who is DD's age. Should be a blast, despite the fact that it's sofa king hot this week!
geekmama, WHAT??? 100mg of caffeine in a DECAF iced coffee? That's crap. I mean, i won't stop treating myself on Saturdays. but, how misleading?!
judyblume14 it's so true. I have discovered that it's the quintessial grass is greener dilemma! I had DS towards the end of the school year, stayed home instead of doing summer camp, and planned to take a year off. Then I went back for three months when DS was 5 months old to cover a maternity leave for my school. Now I'm back home. It's hard to decide which option I liked the best! Pros and cons to each. It did make me realize to just enjoy where I am no matter the situation.
End rambling.
PS I'm close to 500 posts so expect lots of random rambling.

Nothing really wonderful about today either. I get to go home after work do some laundry, but H has hockey tonight so I hope I can bring the laundry down 5 flight of stairs( my house has a weird set up it's a Fairfield split). Picking up heavy things is hard and I have a bend over to pick things up in a special way now.
I went to prenatal yoga class last night, despite some anxiety before it, it was great. It made me happy and I can't wait for next week.
Also, a few weeks ago (like, right after i found out I was pregnant), I slipped on the steps while carrying a laundry basket down. I didn't get hurt or anything, but it was terrifying! I do a load of laundry like every other night or so, and ever single time I'm on the steps, I'm so paranoid. I usually make my H carry it if he's around. Not because it's heavy or too awkward yet to carry, but because I'm the as clumsy as they come!

judyblume14, I love yoga and stopped when I began IVF back in February, it felt so good to get back to it.
I realized this morning I forgot to get H to bring down some laundry, he leave for work later than me & was still asleep. He normally brings it down for me as well. I do laundry much more often now, because I have fewer and fewer clothes that fit. So it should be a small light load.
peaseblossom55, I trained one of my dogs to 'pick it up', I am excited to put this to use.
I have SO much work to do this week. It's to the level where I am just staring at my to do list in horror, I can't even start. Stalking pinterest nursery ideas is a much better idea right?

Another option is to just toss the clothes down the steps...
Morning! I'm sitting here hoping daycare doesn't call. DS has a super weird diaper rash that looks like mosquito bites? He's completely fine otherwise. We just got over conjunctivitis so it's his first day back. Idk why I'm feeling so paranoid about the rash. Another crazy day at work today woooohoo.
L is doing better this morning, thank god. Thank you all for asking about him today and yesterday He's still feverish and cranky but starting to turn the corner. I am rescheduling my newborn session to Friday because little dude still needs me. And also I woke up with a throbbing headache today probably stress..
*this is totally tmi/triggery, but I need to get this out*
You guys. What the absolute f. After the bleeding on Monday, it had tapered off and become brownish. I went into the OBs office this morning and they listened to the heartbeat on the doppler - great, all looked fine and I left with the parting message of "these things suck and cause anxiety, but they resolve and yours doesn't look concerning on your scans". They scheduled a scan for 2 weeks and said to cancel if I have no more bleeding episodes. Cool.
20 minutes after I get home I feel another gush. Run to the bathroom and pass this lacross ball sized clot. I nearly had a heart attack that it was the baby. The bleeding is slow now, but for a bit it definitely fell into the "changing a pad an hour" rate.
I'm trying to be optimistic, but this is really pushing me to my anxiety limit. I just want to curl up and cry right now.
ellabee that is so scary. Are you going back in? Sorry that you have to be dealing with the SCH mindfuck, that sounds awful . Keeping my fx for you all the same.
Thanks rinny. I just got off the phone with them and they scheduled me to come in for another scan tomorrow morning. I'm probably going to put myself on self imposed bed rest for the day. ::big sigh::
ellabee oh sweetie that would send my anxiety into overdrive too! (((Big hugs))) glad they are getting you in tomorrow, I was going to suggest you go camp out there and demand they get you in today. It's morning weds, surely they have somewhere to stick you today?!

So happy to hear that Liam is feeling better ashtog. ellabee, I am so sorry that such a fucking scary and anxiety producing thing is happening to you. Vent and spew your anxiety all you want, we are here to help! Definitely take the day off to rest and take care of yourself.
Oh ellabee I'm so sorry for all the anxiety, that is seriously frustrating. Enjoy your day of bed rest and hopefully they have good things for you tomorrow.
ashtog glad Liam is starting to mend, it really is terrible when they are sick. I hope your headache tapers off too.
heybulldog56 I'm right there with you in parenting today. DD is having her morning breakfast picnic and I'm dreaming of nap time, even though she got up at 10.
No plans here today, shocker. Mh has the ability to be oncall tonight which would be nice to not solo parent tonight but we really can't afford it. He asked me this morning if he should and I said no which I think upset him. I know he misses DD, he doesn't see her at all on work days but I'm really starting to stress about our bank account.
ellabee, I am so sorry for the anxiety. Get some rest and fingers crossed for a good scan tomorrow.
Not much here today. I dug out the maternity clothes. My normal pants just aren't fitting anymore. Also, I've over indulged in spicy mexican food and now my stomach is not happy with me.

meeggaannw, I LTed because I am in a similar boat. DH has been volunteering to work special events almost every weekend for a while now. I welcome the extra money but I hate being solo so often. It's rough.
