Morning! I'm up early to run. I hate how hot it gets here in the summer. My MOPS group has a play date later this morning at a new indoor playplace so we will be going to that. They are kind of strict about some rules though so I'm not sure how long DS will last. They don't allow drinks/snacks. Hopefully they allow water.

BabyStandish Hope you had a good run! Have fun at MOPS. I wish I could find a non-religious version of MOPS so I could meet some other mamas around here. Except I'm not social so I'm not sure how well it would work. ourcrazynavylife Hopefully Em lets you sleep in today since you were up last night. My LO was still snoozing when I left for work, which is rare these days, so maybe there's hope for you??

It's Hump Day! I'm busy but DGAF. Not a good combo. Hopefully today goes by quickly. LO's DC sent home some 18 moth assessment questionnaire on Monday for DH and I to fill out and I totally forgot about it until I saw it still in my car this morning. Oops! Guess I'll be doing that tonight. Hope everyone has a good day!
Add me to the tired club. Stayed up waaaay to late watching gymanstics. The moves those girls do are insane! Headed to the pool with my friend and her boys today. It's so hot and humid out, it'll feel good hanging out in the pool! Anyone else's lo's absolutely hating diaper changes these days? Lo throws a giant fit whenever it's time for a diaper change, probably because he doesn't want to stop what he's doing. So over the whining/crying/fits.
ourcrazynavylife alllll the coffee to you! BabyStandish I've really slacked off running because dh leaves to early for me to run in the am (5 am isn't happening!) and it doesn't cool down until it's late. Major props to you for keeping going despite the heat! laceysbryan good luck getting through your busy day.

ashlantic I remember reading somewhere about making diaper changes more peaceful for toddlers. You warn them that it's coming in a couple minutes. Then you tell them that it's going to happen. Then get them to go to their changing place. You're exactly right that they get upset about their play being interrupted.
I think I might sound crazy right now lol. But I did read an article about it somewhere

Morning! Almost skipped work today. I think Leo's coming down with something. He has a phlegmy cough and this morning seemed very tired. No fever though. Bump pic below!

I know this isn't GKU, but I don't play over there so I'm going to vent to you ladies. I'm 10 DPO and it looks like AF just arrived. If so, this cycle was about 10 days shorter than my usual 40+ day cycle. Or my body is playing a dirty trick on me and its implantation bleeding, but I highly highly doubt it. ETA: I'm fucking disappointed.
Hi all! ourcrazynavylife hope you can sneak a nap in today! littlelion adorable bump! BabyStandish I've been to a place like that before and they did allow water! My LO loved it ashlantic Leo LOATHES diaper changes. It's like battling a wild hyena. laceysbryan I wish mine sent home something! I always forget what I want to ask about everytime I go to an appt.
laceysbryan, Sorry about AF showing up. Is it full on? I had spotting for a couple days before my scheduled AF last year and got a BFP when I tested since it never really started. GKU is a rollercoaster of emotions.
ashlantic, Leo is a weirdo when it comes to diaper changes. He'll sometime tell us when he needs changing and go lie down. But mostly, yes, fight us to change his diaper.
sgio7485, those pics looks wonderful! How are you feeling these days?

The bright side of being up super early I've been able to actually be productive with my Beachbody stuff. Lots of networking & I made an awesome video previewing Country Heat
I'll share it here in a bit once I figure out how to load it
Had DH's follow up appt to his MRI this morning. Torn MCL, torn miniscus, ACL is gone and requires surgery. He's to start physical therapy ASAP and his surgery is Sept 2. It's worse than he thought, so he felt completely blind-sided by the news. He really wanted to avoid any kind of surgery, but the Dr said that's just not possible. He's not pleased and has been pissy all afternoon. Ugh, men. LO is napping away still, 3 hours later. She was so tired this afternoon. We kept her up by going out to lunch at BWW. I have forever lost my faith in them. It seems no matter where I go, state or city, I manage to get the worst service.
{Lunch Rant}We stopped so LO could eat lunch before nap, DH and I ordered ours to go. We asked for extra ranch, got extra vinaigrette instead. Asked twice for the lunch menu, and waited 20 minutes before I got it. Get home and half my lunch is gone. They didn't give me my salad. By the time I figure it out, it's been over an hour and we live out of town (25 minutes away). I give up.
So, it turned into a rant. I'm sorry. When LO wakes up, we're going to the store to buy shrimp for dinner. I'm making grilled pineapple shrimp with rice and grilled zucchini from the garden. He wants to start eating healthier, and I said that was fine. I always cooked healthy at home. It was the Carls Jr or Wendys for lunch that really brought him down. He's starting slow and I'm happy to oblige. It keeps me healthy too. My garden is flourishing. So many tomatoes coming in, lots of zucchini, corn just started coming in, and the cucumbers are just starting to show. My favorite is my tomatillo plant. I can not wait to make so much freaking good salsa with those! Mmm... All right, it's time to head to the store soon. I better check and see if she's up. She still doesn't make a noise, just sits there. Weird.
laceysbryan Sorry. FX for next time. ourcrazynavylife Your kitchen is beautiful! I LT'd all the pics, but never got to comment. The video turned out great! I got your PM, will message back soon. Also, totally trying that diaper change trick! littlelion Eek! Baby bumps! How exciting! ashlantic Yep, same problem over here. I do notice sometimes she doesn't mind, and it has me thinking back of what/if I did differently. sgio7485 Cute pics!

I may have just lost my shit on DH. Em has driven me nuts today just crying and clinging and being a pest. And I was hungry. And I felt like DH just wasn't helping me while I was trying to look at the budget and cook dinner.
He may have just loaded dd & the dog up and headed for the park.

ourcrazynavylife ugh, I know how that feels. I felt totally overwhelmed monday evening. After trying to get leo to go to sleep for an hr, dh waltzes into the bedroom trying to play with leo. Words failed me so I, uh, scratched the shit outta of his leg closest to me. YH had a good escape plan.

ourcrazynavylife lol at your video...only cause of Em trying to peek around you, you did great! It looks like fun...I love line dancing (not that I'm any good).
