It Is Monday

[CoachTsWife]

It has been a long time since I've started a Randoms thread. Insomnia + massive headache + MOTN hunger + genetic screening day = no sleep for me.

My head is killing me. But we get to see baby today for a while during the level two Ultrasound. Woohoo!! Then we're going car shopping for a while then back to the dr for my first OB appt. Big day here!!!

[CoachTsWife]

Hey! It is the first day of Spring! I tried to edit the thread title, but Tapatalk is dumb about that.

Buh bye Winter, hello Spring!!!!!

[mnj05]

It's back to work for me today. 48 days/10 weeks until summer break, but who's counting?

[rach]

Drinking coffee while cranky AB alternates tantrums and watching MMC. I will not start out Monday cranky. I will not start out Monday cranky...

[amch8]

Finally starting to feel like myself again after a long weekend of ear drops, antibiotics, Mucinex, and tea. That was brutal! Ugh.

Anyway. Hi all! *waves*

[ashiscute]

Ugh. Sam had a fever yesterday and was cranky pants and today has thrown up 4x times so far. Please let this be a fluke. We just did the stomach bug through the whole family last month.

It's also hailing so happy first day of spring? I hope the weather clears up because the bigs have soccer practice tonight and i don't want it cancelled.

@wafflesfriendswork toddlers don't really play with each other yet. They play near each other. Is she not playing at all?

It's hard to not sweat the hard drop offs. I'm positive she's just fine once you leave! Lol

[lovemyirishtwins]

Ugh ashiscute I hope Sam feels better soon and no one else gets sick.

We had a nonstop busy weekend. I hope this week goes quickly because my mil is coming on Saturday. Dh has a volleyball tournament that starts Friday. She is surprising the kids. They will be so excited and I have been holding this secret for over a month and it is so hard! I am ready for her to get here.

I am wearing a pair of floral spring-like leggings today because even though it feels like winter, it's spring dammit.

Daycare drop off #2 was a shit show. She had a horrible night's sleep and was cranky to start with. The teacher did say that they were really surprised that she's never been in DC before because she follows directions, sits quietly during story time, and actually naps. So at least there's that. I just hope she starts playing with the kids soon and enjoying it. IT IS GOOD FOR HER AND DROPOFFS ARE NOT INDICATIVE OF HER FEELINGS ABOUT IT. #repeat

Our realtor just asked us if we want to skip radon testing because the new house has had it done recently and it passed. So I guess I need to go look up what radon actually is. The big inspection is Saturday so keep your FX that there's nothing major!

A just started playing with kids and she's been in daycare practically her whole life   Dont rush it, it will happen! she's absolutely enjoying it

No one does radon testing in/around our area. I think it's only for extreme type cases or homes in the middle of nowhere.

First day of spring and it's nice and rainy. Also my cramps can go f themselves.
We have Kindermusik today then nothing else planned.
Excited for tomorrow because we planned a "date" with our DD. After school we are taking her out to lunch and to see Beauty and the beast while DS is at the sitter.

School/daycare registration is up on the 24th. We're enrolled year round but still have to submit an application and deposit. My husband thinks we should tell them now about me being preg so that we can reserve a spot in January (school year is July-July). I feel like it's too early and I dont want to jinx myself. Im 10w today and have an appt tonight. I wanted to wait until after, but that still feels too early too me. Thoughts?

rachydc , if it's the kind of place where you have to put an embryo on a waitlist, then I'd go ahead. If you can add another child to the waitlist later and still get him/her in then wait.

That said, these things can't be jinxed!

I agree with this. Around here the wait lists are looooong so I'd go ahead. But I realize it's different in other places.

I am so tired from E's early wakeups. I have a conference call in a bit but I really just want to curl up under my desk and sleep.

Monday's suck. Drove to work in the rain/hail. And my best work friend is bitching to me how even though she just got a promotion last week and in the last year has received almost a 30% pay increase how she was so underpaid for so long, so I shouldn't complain that I'm being given work for another division with no recognition or compensation. Grr, I know I shouldn't be this way, but I wish she would shut up. Underpaid or not, you negotiated your salary when you started for this company. She has been recognized for her efforts especially within the last year, and basically she applied for another job and when she didn't give it, our boss gave her a promotion as a consolation. I hate being in a bad mood, but I'm annoyed AF and can't blame it on PMS any longer. :/

Happy anniversary to my folks. They are so cute but watching them age is hard.
Hubs is home sick. He can keep that shit to himself. My baby is actually telling me stuff now: that she dropped her cup, that the cat is up on something, the door is stuck, daddy drives a motorcycle... i love that little voice

[Deleted]

I am eating my cheerios, trying to concentrate on my work while I listen to the opening statements for the Russia hearing. I am anxious to hear what Comey has to say.

[Deleted]

W had a full on temper tantrum becuase....he didn't want pants. Shirt, socks, and shoes were acceptable. Ok then. I don't have to leave for work for a few hours so it's not a battle I'm willing to fight this morning.

It's supposed to be in the 50s today. H is leaving work early to take W to the park.

[jessijean]

So I mentioned in my post yesterday that I thought I may have had implantation cramping this weekend but was sure it was gas. Well...this morning my coffee tastes really off even though I made it the same as I always do. When is too early to POAS?

I told A's daycare right after my 8 week appointment and I'm so happy I did! I took the last spot! I wasn't prepared as I got A in there after my 20wk appointment with her, but it turns out we got super lucky.

[lonegalathome]

rachydc we are getting on lists now for fall 2018 - with no guarantees- I put babe on the list.

I got a BFP at 9dpo. Pee on things and tell us about it!!!

cornpop311 she is likely just jealous she didn't have the great idea. It is sentimental and even if it is not perfect it is reminder of the loved one you lost. You will feel that connection when you see and wear the necklace.

She can suck it.

Wait are our kids supposed to be going to the dentist? #MOTY

I'd probably take her by the time she's 3. I take sam because I'm already taking the bigs. But I didn't take them quite as young. They really just take a peek in and then brush quickly.

[jacks15]

@wafflesfriendswork We have rough drop offs 90% of the time and L loves being there and I have to drag her away when I pick her up. I've discovered if I can quickly hand her off to a teacher and get out, that's the best scenario. But if her teacher is busy changing diapers and can't grab her from me, it's just a huge crying mess. My new plan is to decide on a certain phrase to say every drop off so she starts to associate that phrase with drop off and be ok with it. We have one for bedtime and she practically dives into her crib when I say it.

cornpop311 I'm sorry your aunt said that. I am sure your grandmother would be honored to see the necklace and that it has such a special memory for you and your mom.

I took L only because I get Botox done by her dentist. Who is MOTY now, eh?

Our pediatrician kept asking, so we scheduled it. She did well. She cried, but that helped them see in her mouth. She got a cleaning and toys/stickers for being in the no cavity club!

I just LOL'd to the point that I think other people stared. 

Turns out there's a highly-recommended pediatric dentist very near our house and it's covered by insurance, so why not? Made an appointment for the end of the month. Like @wafflesfriendswork said, I don't think JR is going to stand for any of it, but we'll see.

[catladymeow]

I keep meaning to take E for a cleaning at the pediatric dentist but I am dreading that appointment. 30 seconds of teeth brushing every night it usually awful so I can't imagine what an actual cleaning at an actual dentist will be like. Shudder.

That website is very helpful.  Personally with L I had a squinter at 8 DPO and a faint line at 9.  The last few months have obviously all been negative days 8 through what feels like 20 PO.

Buy Wondfos.  Pee early and often.  Report back with results.  The "am I pregnant" question can only be answered by you, and for less than fifty cents to boot!  www.amazon.com/Wondfo-Pregnancy-Strips-25-count-medical/dp/B0002YIQEQ?th=1
