I'm up... DH is working for someone during corn harvest, so he's up at the buttcrack of dawn. So I've been up since the buttcrack of dawn. I'm tired, and I'm starting to feel... uncomfortable all the time. Especially in the mornings, I wake up early and just lay there all fidgety.
DS slept in this morning which I really needed since DH had to work late yesterday and I was so tired from a lack of breaks. My body feels so much more sore than it did at this point in my last pregnancy which I think is mainly from the hundreds of times I have to pick up/otherwise move my energetic toddler. No matter how carefully I try to do it it's still hard on my back.
Im a bit sad that it is the weekend because it is the end of my H's time off. C woke up the house at 7:30 so we made pancakes.
Our appointment with the bank on Thursday went nowhere. I was pretty gutted to hear that they could do nothing to help us. I know our banker absolutely would if she could. I ended up having to ask my aunt and uncle for a loan, which was an extremely humbling moment. They're very well off and didn't hesitate but my stomach is in knots over it. It will be paid off in full in less than a year though so I am just trying to focus on that. Now I am just hoping to hear from my aunt within a few days that she has a cheque ready because we have $0 for the next 2 weeks otherwise.
Moral of the story: if your dad has been a horrible, irresponsible ass, historically... Dont get yourself tied up with him financially in the name of blind optimism. It'll blow up in your face.
Morning! H and I were able to get away for 2 nights this week and everyone survived! We ended up leaving hotel #1 after 1 night though. It was gorgeous but with crappy weather there was NOTHING to do and nowhere within driving distance to do anything inside. So we defaulted to the seacoast, where we met and know we'll enjoy. We got a couples massage (best massage of my life!) and had a nice, casual dinner.
This AM we bought a last minute costume for DD ($35 costumes marked down to $8+/- at Toys R Us..slacking mom for the win!) and took her to our local library Halloween party. Now it's her nap time then who knows for the afternoon! A/S Monday! I posted a "take a guess" pic on social media and 99% are saying "I hope it's a boy!"...they're going to be pretty disappointed if/when the A/S confirms another girl.
We did our typical Saturday morning. Grocery shopping. MH needs new shoes but we couldn't find any. I want a new jacket but shit they are expensive. Good news is target apparently had trick or treating today so that was fun! Clara loved it! She will be sad when tomorrow is the end of her Halloween!

Hiiiii! We've been up since 6:45am which wasn't very pleasant considering I stayed up watching that nerve-racking game last night (Go Tribe).
Anyways, we've already been to the zoo, grabbed lunch on the way back and now we're back at home so DD can nap. Oh, and I'm about to attempt a nap too!
((Hugs)) it's not a reflection of you or your child! Maybe he's not ready... and that's okay. He will go on the potty eventually!
Thank you.
I'm getting pressured I guess(?) To potty train him because my niece AMD nephew trained early. They were totally out of diapers around...18 months. I just don't think my little man is ready.
Today we're mostly hanging out while DH works on the bathroom (like every weekend). I'm not going to complain though because I just really want my main floor toilet back! This afternoon we're going to meet our friends new baby girl, so exciting!! DD keeps saying "baby" over and over - I think she's excited too. Tomorrow they'll probably do a little more bathroom work and then another sounders game! And maybe sometime in there we can get a couple pumpkins. Good thing DD is still too young to really know what she's missing because I've been a Halloween slacker this weekend!

@priss08 potty training is a bitch! We started w DS At 19 months since he was showing signs. Day two was the hardest but three was the best!
I'm not one to speak though since 4 months later my kid decided he wanted none of it and he never pooped in the toilet .So we'll try again in a few months he's now 26 months
Had anyone heard of le tote? Kind of like stitch fix. They send you 5 items of clothing, but you wear them and then RETURN them. I don't know if I'd had a ton of use for it normally, but this is solving my maternity clothing problems!!

glb30 a friend did Le Tote for a while. She said she felt like the clothing quality was cheap. But she wasn't doing the maternity version. Her first couple of totes had some good pieces but then they started including more accessories (I think 2 items of the 5 are accessories). I was tempted to try it for some work maternity tops, though.
Oh heres a gem. MIL gave C pop Thursday night. It was just a sip or two but JFC. She always brags to family and friends about how healthy his diet is and how hard I work to not feed him junk food. Why she thinks we would be ok with him having root beer is so fucking beyond me. She knows I dont even give him juice (this isn't because juice is evil. Simply because we never drink it). Im not angry because it was just a sip, but I am majorly scratching my head at her logic... And yeah ok a bit annoyed. Oh and DS is only 17m fwiw.
