It's a gloomy election day in the U.S. What's brightening up your day?

[littlelion]

Ok, today I'm dragging. Waiting for my nst. Baby boy is kicking up a storm so he better not stop once I'm strapped in.

I had terrible back pain over the weekend which went away yesterday. Today I wake up and my back is as stiff as a board. After walking it loosens up. But after sitting a while it gets stiff again.

Bright spot today is dh said he was calling his 2nd job mgr and telling him he's quitting. Yay

[ourcrazynavylife]

Hope your nst goes well littlelion !

I've got an OB appt in a few hours and then labs to get drawn.
Class tonight.

I tried to wake up early to do my homework and failed miserably. Momma just wants to sleep.

I'm just holding my cranky pants toddler for now though and trying to figure out what I'm going to eat for breakfast.

Got a pair of boots and some cute wedges yesterday. That makes me smile during this election crap.

Someone figured out how to open mommy's mascara and lipstick. Greeeeaaaat.

[ourcrazynavylife]

Haha raven been there done that!!

I put pretend makeup on her christmas/birthday wish list this year! Haha

[ashlantic]

raven thankfully love has only discovered chapstick for now. He swipes any one he can find and calls it his "minty."

[ashlantic]

littlelion good luck at your nst! Fx your little guy cooperates.
ourcrazynavylife hope Em doesn't stay cranky all day.

Dh leaves Sunday for China, so the silver lining for that is that he's here for family pics Saturday. He's still not sure when he's returning. Next Friday or Saturday, maybe. I got snippy with him and now I feel bsd, because I know it's not his fault.
Got out and ran errands and voted. I told him if he waited nicely while I voted he could get a sticker. I ended up buying him a couple puzzles too because he was so patient with all our errands.

ashlantic I absolutely love the future voter sticker! That is so awesome!

X-Posted

Appointment went well. Baby's HR was in the 150s.
My OB laughed and was like there's nothing on your problem list to discuss.

So quick visit. Labs were super quick too. So I'm at an admin office trying to get my address updated so I can get my new Breast pump sent out.

[ashlantic]

Yikes. So many typos in my posts today. Sorry guys.

ourcrazynavylife yay for a good appt! How are you feeling lately?

[ourcrazynavylife]

ashlantic pretty good. Maybe maybe finally turning a corner on not being quite so tired all the time.

I've been able to feel the baby kick already which I find so fascinating since it took so long with Em. Lol.

But yeah, just chugging along here. Can't wait for Christmas vacation.

[raven]

Rosary and vigil tonight. LO took a monster nap so I hope we can get through it without incident.

[ourcrazynavylife]

Finally broke down and ran up to CVS and grabbed lo a probiotic and glycerin suppositories.

One MONSTER poo later and my smiling giggling toddler is back.

Hopefully that's was all her issue was. Can't deal with anymore crankiness.

[ashlantic]

raven hope lo was cooperative for you, and hope you're holding up ok.
ourcrazynavylife glad Em is feeling better!

I want to stay up to see the results of the election but I'm soooo tired. The struggle is real.

In the meantime I've been googling different planners for Christmas. I used one all the time when I was working and I miss having one. I'm debating between making my own bullet journal or using the Happy Planner. Anyone use either of those?

[ourcrazynavylife]

So the report from DH is she was super happy the rest of the evening and went down for bedtime easily. One happy momma here.

[ourcrazynavylife]

Side note, I'm starting a Beachbody challenge group on the 28th of this month. It'll run for 21 days if anyone is interested.

[raven]

Did not go as planned. She made it through the rosary, but not the vigil. I ended up commandeering a room and just let her lose it there. She started crying because I wouldn't eat a pretzel. Then she went on a 5 minute "let's hit mommy" phase. We didn't get back to the hotel until after 9pm. Apparently, it was too long a nap and it backfired big time. Lesson learned.
Thank goodness the funeral is in the morning time.

[raven]

ashlantic I don't use either, but I've been thinking of starting to use a planner myself. Bullet journaling is really pretty and I love how artistic people can get with it.

[ourcrazynavylife]

ashlantic I don't use either of those. I just use a basic one from Office Depot. But it's seriously my life. I don't know how people function without them lol. My memory is total crap.

[ourcrazynavylife]

For example. Here's my November. Lol.

[littlelion]

ourcrazynavylife glad to hear your appt went well. And that Em is feeling much better. Kudos for continuing with beachbody! Says the little old lady who hobbled most of the day. How many weeks are you now?
ashlantic Family pics with hubby is an upside. GL with your friendsgiving, so nice of your friends to help & you to still do it!
raven Sorry your lo had a meltdown today. How is your husband holding up?

[littlelion]

Busy evening and then I fell asleep. And now I'm wide awake. WTF America. I cannot believe the election results. I want a recount!

[ourcrazynavylife]

littlelion thanks!! I took a break for a while, the fatigue was just killing me. But, I'm really trying to get back into it.

I'm 17w3d now. It's flying by!!

[raven]

littlelion He's not doing well. I missed his speech and being there for him because of LO's meltdown. I feel terrible, but at least his dad was there. They're really close.

I concur with littlelion on election results. As a pregnant woman, I'm terrified. DH woke me up after drinking late with family and told me results I purposefully avoided. Now I can't sleep either.

[ashlantic]

ourcrazynavylife haha mine used to look like that too. I got out of the habit when I quit my job to stay home with lo, but I miss having everything all written out. I tried to use the calendar on my phone, but I'm an old who likes to write stuff down still. And how are you almost 18 weeks already?? I swear, time goes faster and faster.
raven I'm not super artistic, but the ability to customize a bullet journal really appeals to me. Sending good thoughts to you and your family today.
littlelion I agree. I stayed up until way too late and finally gave up and went to bed. Dh told me the results of the election when he left for work this morning. I'm so sad.

[kcrus]

Woke up at 4am and saw the news. Heartbroken. Parenting this morning was VERY hard. My kids are bereft, too. I talked to them about being the light in the darkness- and how we have to be fighters. But I really just feel sad and sick inside.
