Had a low key weekend. Went to a babywearing meeting yesterday that was full of tiny babies, definitely did not help with the baby fever!
Nothing planned for today. DH and I are trying to decide on our 5 year anniversary trip. The two ideas we're throwing around are (1) Las Vegas, he's been but I haven't, or (2) Gulf Shores, we go multiple times a year but the place we stay is basically free and we love it, so it's always a contender. Any other suggestions of great places to visit? Willing to fly. Not willing to go overseas. Hoping for a 4-5 day trip.
Hi, still dealing with the sickness today. N is okay but still coughing (she was upset to hear that it could last weeks). A was coughing so bad this morning she threw up her breakfast (and ibuprofen grrr) all over herself and the kitchen table/chair. It was a mess. Now they are just snacking and watching a christmas paw patrol video (not my choice lol). I cleaned the kitchen and just sat down to have a cup of coffee. It's 11. I think I'll be canceling A's birthday get together tomorrow bc there's just such a rare chance she'll be a lot better. Although her cough seems better after the hack up at breakfast.
PS my mom keeps annoying me saying, "I would take her in [to the dr]." 1. I already did... 2. It's a virus. You don't understand that those have to run their course? You had three kids!! 😲😠
lilyelayne Disney World!!!! And March through the end of May is the Epcot® International Flower & Garden Festival. From the website: "Discover a springtime event that’s bursting with farm-to-table flavors, brilliant blooms, interactive playgrounds and rocking entertainment!"
Epcot is sooo nice and fun sans kids. I love the world showcase (and beverages/food in each)

Seems a little cruel to go to Disney without my kid 😂 but I'll look into it cause that sounds awesome. Thanks!
lilyelayne yeah...you might get some side eyes for that lol. But it is a totally different experience w/o the little ones. I'd feel a little guilty too though. Maybe not a good choice after all...

I could see there being a lot of moments at Disney where I'd be thinking "oh, E would love that, I wish she was here" which might not be a great vibe for an anniversary trip but DH and I did Epcot together before DD came along and it is fun to do without kids.
Back to work today after basically taking the second half of last week off sick. DD helped be prepare to come back by being up from 2 - 3am. At this point I think it's just not possible to get her back to sleep once she wakes up MOTN. I hate listening to her cry but going in to comfort her seems to make her even more upset when you try to leave and prolongs the whole ordeal.
aggiebug sorry about you H peeving (did I make us a word?!) you. I know how that goes lately. dmorgendorffer hope your transition back at work was smooth!
Hmm lilyelayne that is a tough time with spring breaks happening then. There are some really great romantic trips to California. I know your sister is our there but it's a big state lots of places for a new adventure/ quiet escape.
Savannah, Charleston, Hilton Head would all be amazing then.
The weather would be a bit colder but Seattle and NYC are two of my favorite cities and would make awesome get aways.
lilyelayne DH and I went to Miami last summer and had the BEST time. We've been there a lot, but going post baby was incredibly nice. We stayed at The Setai, which I highly recommend! Awesome breakfast buffet (expensive but worth doing once), and the service was just over the top nice.
aggiebug sorry...sometimes you can't help being annoyed even if it's not fair.
dreemkin boo to the girls still being sick and breakfast vomit. hope it passes soon!
dmorgendorffer another boo to wake ups. DD is the same way. going in her room makes it worse.
DH and i are sick today, probably with whatever cold DD had last week. just headaches and stuffy and meh. the weather here can't make up its mind - that doesn't help! on the plus side, we had our anatomy scan today and baby looks great and healthy and right on track! i am so grateful, especially
**TW - losses mentioned**
after hearing my dr talking to another dr about a patient who has had 9 D&Cs. ugh. life is just not fair.
Oh agm04 did I tell you I will be in H-town in March. I am so flipping excited to take DD to the rodeo. I have such sentimental attachments to HLSR I get sad every March that I can't go.
aggiebug no but that's awesome! will DD be going to a concert too? we have willie nelson tickets, and i'm so excited!
I am not sure yet. It will be me,DD,DS and my brother SIL and their two kids so I am guessing we might skip it. I love the concerts but I would rather go earlier and take her through the stockshow and exhibits.

dmorgendorffer I don't remember what website it was, maybe precious little sleep? Or baby sleep site?, but someone posted a link in the fbook group that claims the 2 year sleep regression is the last one.
agm04 glad baby is healthy! Hope your family is illness free soon!
lilyelayne do you ever go on ski vacations? March is a good time for ski trips, especially this year there will probably still lots of snow at most resorts. Not warm, but fun and good for a toddler free vacation.

I'd say go to Cancun in March like we are, but you want to avoid overseas. Florida Keys for diving and snorkeling? Or Hawaii. NYC and Chicago are romantic as well.

I have a professional development event tomorrow. I spent a lot of time finding a blazer and I think I might just skip it. Or just bring it if it's cold.

seamonster we were going to the Caribbean as has been our plan since honeymoon, but Zika blew that since hoping to TFAS in spring. (And men with possible exposure are supposed to wait 6 months before TTC!) But the Zika advisory has been lifted in south Florida so the keys might work.

Y'all have great ideas! Thanks!
We want to TFAS after our Cancun trip so at my upcoming annual exam I'm going to ask my new Dr about Zika testing before we do TFAS. I'll let you know what they say.

I just booked maya riviera in April and got a whole talk on the phone about Zika. I didn't listen to what she said bc it didn't apply
