It's the one year anniversary of my period before getting pregnant! This doesn't sound like a big deal but after 3 ivf rounds and lots of losses, this was the cycle that led me to my surprise natural bfp. So many feels today.

[wanderlust]

That is a huge deal Westie, I totally get it. That gives me a lot of feels too! Seems like just yesterday you announced your surprise BFP on 3T.

Night #2 of putting L down for the night in the nursery (in her RnP). She got her 2 month shots today and was super fussy in the daytime. In the evening she was all smiles and seemed back to herself though. So I went ahead and put her in the nursery. FX tonight goes well!

[snoris]

Hooray westiemom! What a miracle!

Have to wake up for the day in 2 hours I have 2 daycare interviews &my daycare inspection today! FX it goes well & I can get licensed quickly! I have about 500 million inquiries and interviews set up and it would suck to turn people away bc my license was still pending.

We should do one of those remembrance threads like April 16 has!

westiemom, you have good reason to pause and remember this date.

snoris, that's super exciting, best of luck!

As for me, I am reminding myself that I will sleep when my kids are bigger. Grandma took DD tonight since the previous night was hell. I was up with one or both kids hourly from 12-6. Tonight has only been 2 wake ups from DS but I am still so groggy!

It's 2:45 and I'm wide awake while my kid sleeps soundly. Ugh. I have appointments Tuesday afternoons, so no chance of a nap today. But! I finally got scheduled with the home care people that will be coming to help me with housework and grocery shopping and she's coming Wednesday and Friday! It's going to be awesome to finally be able to do laundry during the day again (we don't have w/d in unit). However I'm not looking forward to grocery shopping in this heat!

I woke up with a sore throat. I hope it's just allergies and not a cold.

Thanks. I'm bummed. DNW cold/sore throat and need to take care of the baby alone.

Trying to decide if this means I don't need to go to the library today to see my coworkers... If I'm legitimately sick should probably stay home just so I don't contaminate people.

I'm going to take a bath and drink some coffee and see how I feel.

My dad brought me mcdonalds for lunch yesterday (so healthy) and I want more. I probably should try to eat a little healthier though...

[babycaps]

teraiin, feel better!! I would stay home.
westiemom, it is a big deal!!!

[babycaps]

@led, yay for help!!!!

[babycaps]

Lo slept from 730-145!!

Good morning!
We are getting ready for DS's swim lessons soon. Afterwards we are meeting a friend at Monkey Joe's. I'm glad DS will get out and have fun. It's so hard to get out with both of them.

It is definitely a lot of work getting out with two but it does feel really rewarding especially when it's something fun for the big kid!

I'm debating taking both kiddos to the pool today since it's going to be so hot but it really only benefits DS and I'm worried DD will be too hot...

[Deleted]

OMG It's 5:30 and she's still not up! She went to sleep a little before 11p! Of course she sleeps in on a day when I'm up all night. lol

We did the pool a few weeks ago with friends. DS slept almost the whole time and we stayed under an umbrella. I got in for a few minutes and dipped his toes in. Not sure what the temps are but if you go first thing when they open, it might not be bad. That's what we did so it wasn't quite as hot.

[twocents6708]

The only thing on my agenda today is to take DS to our last breastfeeding group since I go back to work next week. I want to do one more weighted feed before sending him to daycare next week. DD is going with me for the first time. Thank goodness for electronics to keep her entertained.

I still haven't gotten a stretch longer than 3ish hours. But it's usually up, eat, and right back to sleep, so I won't complain too much.

Last night I was delirious though I think. Every time I fed him, I kept thinking.. "I wonder if he just doesn't like me feeding him gin??" (Newsflash.. I haven't had gin in a few weeks)

[k3am]

My friend got sent to L&D last night at 35 weeks.. I missed the texts while I was sleeping and now she's not responding. I can't stand this waiting!

[babycaps]

@led, always happens. last night I woke up at midnight expecting him to wake up and of course it took me a while to fall back asleep and then he woke up!

k3am, hopefully she's just being monitored and not actually delivering yet!!! fingers crossed.

Epic fail last night. Lo slept in his own crib. Woke up at 3 to eat, so I brought the bottle of water and little container of pre-measured formula into his room with me and dumped what I thought was the entire compartment of formula into the bottle and fed it to him. When he finished I grabbed the container and noticed I had only dumped half of it. I don't even know how that happened. So he got super diluted formula for his motn meal. Luckily he only took 3oz of it. I had a mild panic attack and then brought him back into our room. He seems no worse for wear today.

Poor guy also had to get his shots today but he seems to be reacting fine to them so far.

[ellesea]

westiemom that is a date to remember for sure!

I'm not sure of everyone's conception/fertility journey. I need a re-cap, would it be okay to have a thread for this? Like a look back now that we all have our babies!
