It's back to reality for me today. Well, mostly. I may leave work at 3 again if the day allows it so I can start cleaning and sanding DD's dresser that I'm refinishing. I'm itching to get started and DS was crying actual tears because we couldn't paint it yesterday.

It's my last day before going back to work. I hate my job. I'm dreading it so bad that I could cry. I need either a different job within my company or a new job with a new place. 😩
Today is my last day off. I had a super vivid dream that I had my baby and he was perfect!!!! I was kissing him and had him all cozy on my bed trying to call family members to tell them but no one was answering. He was so cute! I was a little bummed when I woke up, but obviously I want him to cook a LOT longer.
ladytiffany24, I'm so sorry you're dreading work I hope you're able to find something else, maybe after the baby comes you can search for new options? Can you and your H take a financial hit if you quit and SAH until you found something else?

If nothing happens before I go out on leave, the plan is for me to start looking around while I'm on leave. We can't really take a hit financially if I were to stop working for a bit. So once leave is over if I haven't found anything else, I'm stuck there until I do.
It's a rainy day here but it's the first day of the nursery bathroom renovation!! I never really know what I'm suppose to do when there are a bunch of random workers in my house. I don't want to just full on veg out and nap on the sofa or something, but there's only so much stuff I can do with them here all week. This is definitely one of the times I feel like I'm bad at adulting, like what am I suppose to be doing?
Hahaha. I never know what to do. I usually work (or shop or something) on my laptop- so I'm basically on the couch, but not full on vegging, and offer beverages like once every 90 minutes.
I'm meeting someone to buy a big box of girl clothes in a few hours. So I'll probably have a big mess to sort through.
Have you guys heard of the Facebook group "buy nothing "? I have received so much free girl clothing this way. I told DH that I will cloth our children for free this way.
It's a group where everything is free, and each group is for your local area.
I have not! I will look into this because that would be awesome.

I sat funny doing laundry last night, kind of crisscrossed but sitting on the couch bending over. My pelvis is broken today holy pain! I at least slept pretty good and DH got to sleep in and DS is recovering fats from his cold poor kid is just coughing now.
I am dreading the next month at work. Starting Friday, I'll be on trial til the end of January. I'm living in a hotel during the week. (In a rural area/there will be nothing outside of my room to do). It will probably make the month go fast though, so I guess that's a positive.

This is basically what I do - make myself scarce and make sure they know where I am if they have a question. And listen for anyone randomly calling out "Ma'am?" Lol.

glb30 I have a 1, possibly 2, night trip to a rural area coming up at some long this month and I'm not looking forward too it. I can't imagine doing it every week night for a month!

Hugs ladytiffany24 - I'm in a similar boat but hoping when I get back from leave my job is magically different. If it isn't, I think I need to job search. I'm pinning a lot of hopes on my boss's retirement changing the things I don't like. We'll see. It's depressing to feel stuck like this.
Hello, 2017, I am officially in 'overanalyze everything that happens' mode. Just had liquid poops for no apparent reason, and I'm like "WHAT IF IT'S EARLY LABOR??" No other symptoms to make me think that, so I am trying to just chill and enjoy my last day before work starts again. Just calm down, self.
So, invites went out this week for our shower. 14 gifts have already been purchased! But also just got an email that the bedding collection that we actually agreed on is discontinued and unavailable.
Bummer, the good thing is babies can't use bedding except a crib sheet. Now at 2.5 DD is just using a comforter. Lots of time to find something nice!

Oh, egads. You know I understand this sooo well. You'd think I'd stop freaking out since I'm already almost 5-1/2 weeks past the twins gestational age at birth. Take deep breaths and just be cognizant of any other signs that might go with it. Funny.. I was just growling at my husband that I've had two normal poops in the last six months. Remember that our bodies have been hijacked and nothing works normally
Oh work My dh was growling most of yesterday because he had to go back today after having a week off for the holidays. It DID instigate a pretty good real life conversation with the older girls about the realities of adulthood and why we push them so hard on responsibility learning.
I can't believe my second ticker says 2 days... all the plans are made for the hospitalization. We'll be winging it when I get home with the baby.. because I won't have a babyshower until I'm already in the hospital Joy.
I hope you all have a wonderful and productive day. I'm camped out on the couch trying to behave while I work the older girls through Biology lessons.. little A (one of the twins) is camped out with her head on her little brother's bump.. while the other twin is happily watching Super Why
We spent an hour on Etsy this morning ordering decorations etc for the nursery.
What colors/theme are you going with?
The room is a light green with light brown carpet and white furniture. We decided to do a "fantasyland" theme - focusing on 5 lands - 100 acre wood, magic kingdom, never land, galaxy far far away and hogwarts. So we bought some prints and artwork from each plus a couple of wall decals.
Um... somehow I suggested we get the bed into the girls room for Fin soon and it is up out of the basement and assembled and done! Ahhhhh! I seriously can't believe how fast H's response time was. I was thinking in the next few days or so. Wahoo!
Team switch Fin to the big girls' room commences with tomorrow's nap!
Xp cause holy shit this feels like a huge step.
Let me know how it does! We just ordered all of DD's big girl furniture yesterday and will probably be moving her into her new room the middle of this month! Holy shit is right!
Well any and all advice that anyone has for moving my almost 2 1/2 year old to a big girl bed is welcome!
DS moved after he climbed out one morning he was a little younger than 2.5. It's been touch and go. I'll stress that he ALWAYS gets in to sleep but sometimes he gets out to play with toys.
I compensated for that by putting him in bed about 15 min or so earlier. It seems to help, I just focused on keeping everything else about his routine the same.
At first he'd wake up and play with toys, but lately he's been coming right out. It's fine for now because it's not crack of dawn early but if that does happen I guess I'll do a wake up clock.
