ampaints you're doing a great job with M! The mama guilt gets to me frequently, but don't second guess yourself. C just started walking everywhere this past weekend. Before that it was just a few hesitant steps occasionally, and I was worrying that I wasn't helping her learn enough. The evaluation is just to see if he needs some help, but he'll get there!
skinandbones another vote for morning. If you think you'll skip the gym for work stuff, then I would prefer to get my workout in before work could interfere. And, personally, I find it easier to talk myself out of going at night because I'm tired and I know I only have limited time with my kids before bed, when I also have to make dinner and do other chores. Morning is just easier for me mentally.
I felt like I had a newborn again last night. C just kept waking up and crying. I don't know of its teeth or growing pains or something else.
At one point my husband reached over and turned off the baby monitor. Well, guess he at least got some sleep because I can hear the kids without it. Nice for him, I guess?
I, on the other hand, got minimal interrupted sleep and just gave a presentation to a group of our new attorneys. Luckily it was mostly Q and A so I didn't have to be too perky.
skinandbones another +1 for mornings. I always feel more energized with a morning workout. Too many conflicts in the evenings to work out usually for me.
shellyr hell, if I had a 105 temp, I'd probably take myself to the ER. 105 is way high.
ampaints , mommy guilt sucks. E still isn't saying anything consistently, just babbling except for uh ohs. I feel like I'm not talking to her enough during the day and she's not learning enough because of me too. :/ We can only do what we can though.
I finished my second scarf last night and it looks so much better than the first. Debating on giving it to H or to FIL. It's not perfect enough for a gift methinks, but then again, I doubt I'll ever be satisfied with anything I make entirely. Going to start towels today. Debating between a waffle weave and huck lace. Thoughts?
Morning! Sorry I haven't been around much lately, life has been busy.
My car has been desperately in need of a wash for the past few weeks and boss man is on a flight this morning so I'm currently at the car wash sipping my starbucks and checking in here. I'll be late to work, but have decided I don't care.

shellyr, I hope she is doing better. I would have definitely gone in for 105 too.
skinandbones, @mrspanpan, I have workout problems too. I hate working out at 9pm, but I am unsure about sacrificing sleep. I think I'm leaning toward early morning though, just to combat not actually doing it.
ampaints, I know you know this logically but it's not you. Babies just grow at their own pace! I hope the guilt eases for you, it;s such a crap feeling.
tuscanlatte , I'm super excited to have found a hobby I like a lot and that is practical too. This is the one I just finished, just need to hem the ends.
M knocked half of his lunch on the ground where the dog immediately got it. I decided it was time for him to nap. He's playing with his glow worm and I'm calming myself down.
joi922, sorry for the rough night. I hope you are able to get some rest tonight!
ampaints, I'll echo everyone else in that you are doing a wonderful job with M! Babies have a lot to learn and all go at their own pace. Mommy guilt stinks.
shellyr, I hope C is feeling better and you were able to get some sleep last night. Glad you trusted your instincts and went to get the fever checked out.
Cute story time. Every time E kisses us, she claps and says yay afterwards. Last night, she tripped and was crying and wouldn't stop. So H asked her for a kiss. She stopped crying long enough to give him a kiss, clap and say yay, then resumed crying hysterically. So funny.
This is a vague post because I'm not ready to talk about things but today has been an absolute shitastic day. I've been crying off and on all day and I have no good answers. I just had to put that somewhere.
I'm trying to write a piece about our decision to donate our embryos for when the site launches. Wine isn't helping as much as I wish it would. I don't know what it is about writing that makes me doubt myself so much. I know I'm better than I give myself credit for. Own worst critic and all that. Tipsy ramblings from ampaints.
