This seemed so appropriate to me today, because I have the constant queasies. Much like if I were a hungover-20-something, I just went to get tots and a cheesesteak grilled cheese AND a mac and cheese for later from a spot that has all of that GF. I feel glutinous and less queasy.
Lots of work that I need to get back to. Can't wait for your scan update later, rooskie!
Our weekend was nice. But, we went to an egg hunt and I was appalled by the behavior of some adults. These were 0-3 year old and the adult ran around getting all the eggs they could. I saw women with grocery bags full of plastic eggs and watched a dude snake an egg out from my 1 1/2 year old. Who the fuck does that?! It wasn't about the crap inside, I had to toss most of it and I gladly would have given the people all that shit. My kid just wanted to find some damn eggs.
This week is pretty quiet and then the next couple get with Ob appointment, work travel, and then personal travel to MH's family in SF.

We did Easter with my inlaws last night. My 2 yo niece missed her nap (per usual) and was a bear the whole time we were over there. H's family is so different from mine.
My side is doing a big belated Easter breakfast on Saturday and I'm pretty excited for food and family.

I have a fun filled day of account reconciliation ahead of me at work.
Other than that, I have a UJAM class at lunch. I'm determined to continue exercising throughout this pregnancy and stay away from In-N-Out Animal Style Fries.
Tonight my goal is to find a mixture of stains that I like for our flooring, order handles for our kitchen cabinetry, and finally put away laundry that has been sitting in a pile for a few days.

Work work work for me today. I am going to call the doc and schedule my first apt! So excite. Last pregnancy they made me wait until I was 8 weeks. It's a new doc and I am curious if that's her protocol as well.
Dr. Called and she is happy with my level increases so that is good. Have an ultrasound and appt on Friday.
I'm at home today with DD - she has an ear infection and bronchiolitis...again. 6th ear infection in 6 months. I am so ready for May 2nd when she gets tubes.

Work and then a therapist appointment. I need to ST my 18 month old, but I'm so tired. I know it'll be worth it in the long run, but I just can't muster up any energy. She's trying to destroy me.

kensie5226, dooo it. Every time we've done some light sleep training I feel like a monster, and every time we ALL sleep better and are happier, daughter included. We pick a time we know we can handle to let her CIO (usually around 15 min), tell her that we're going to give her time and space to work out her feelings and get to sleep, and if she still needs help that we'll help her. She almost always gets to sleep on her own.
I had a friend whose daughter cried for 75 minutes the first night. She still says it was worth it because none of them were sleeping well and now they're all sleeping and feeling happier as a result.

@officedronette , I want to, but we're all so tired. She was a champion sleeper until she got sick, got molars, and hit the regression about 3 weeks ago. This just happened to coincide with when I got KU and exhausted. She's at such a weird age b/c she's mobile and can understand a lot, but not quite old enough to understand "15 minutes" and we'll come back. I've never been opposed, but I tried a little bit last week and she got her leg stuck in the crib and bashed her face into the bars while jumping and screaming........
Honestly bedtime isn't the issue, it's the MOTN when I have no wherewithal to function and I wind up tossing her in our bed, which perpetuates the problem.

The face smashing = the worst. L did that the other night right before I was about to leave (to try to prevent me from leaving) and I felt awful, but also irritated because this is why I tell you to lay down, kid!!
This is a bit of a novel, but I have a lot of thoughts/feelings about sleep training. I love sleep. I want everyone to sleep. Maybe there's something in here that helps you think of the approach that will work with your kiddo.
I don't think L understands "I'll be back in 15 min," but that she understands that I think she's competent to calm down and sleep on her own, and that if she really can't do it, that I'll come back and help.
A phrase I really like is "scaffold the skill." Here, what I eventually want is a child who is going to lay down and go to sleep on their own without any intervention. What we did with L was not to expect her to all of a sudden sleep, but to tell her that we were going to let her practice and try to fall asleep on her own. And then I tried to build a scaffold and remove it slowly over time.
She now likes me holding her hand and telling stories while she lays down in the crib (she used to like back rubs and butt pats). The first night, I held her hand and repeated Hippos Go Beserk for six or seven times until she fell asleep. The next night, she got a few less hippos, etc. and I let her cry for a little bit. She now gets a couple hippos and another story, and after some wind down time like that, we say we are going to go downstairs and give her a chance to get to sleep on her own (I generally give her a warning too "last story, and then mommy will go downstairs. I love you. If you can't sleep I'll come help but I need you to try first. You may need to cry a little bit to help calm down and that's ok."). That's when we watch and set a limit on our own of how long we'll let her "try" for before we help. We go with 15 based on her personality/past behavior.
The first night we had to reintroduce this going-to-sleep skill again (because we weaned), she screamed, top of her lungs, for exactly 13 minutes and 36 seconds, while looking at the door waiting for us to come back, with pauses to look at the camera/monitor, like WTF GUYS. Then she just laid down and went right to bed quietly. DEAD SCREAMING, to quietly laying down. Not whimpering like you would if you were upset, but more like "oh, fine, this isn't working, I'll just go to bed." The second night she cried for a few minutes before going to sleep. Since the first two nights that I expected her to fall asleep on her own, she hasn't cried at all, even if she's been still pretty wide awake when I leave her room.
kensie5226, I just saw your update that it's the MOTN part. Wooooof. I hate when that happens. I've let her cry it out in the MOTN too, but ugh, that's the worst. I'm sorry. We have had a few nights where we've tossed her in with us too and I hate it. Thankfully she hasn't made it a regular thing.
I just called to make my 8 week appointment, but apparently I have to do a phone appointment first and during that appointment they will schedule my 8 week. So I should be getting a call in a couple of hours from a nurse to go over things. I'm going to ask if they'll let me do my betas now rather than wait 4 weeks. Fingers crossed they're okay with that because it would really make me feel better to see my numbers rising as they should be.

I woke up at 4am today and was wide awake...now it's 2pm and I feel like I'm dying of exhaustion. I need to work on my final paper but I literally have no energy! 😴
belle0720, believe it or not, I'm not a fan of animal style fries...but an animal style double double with chopped chilis? Now you're speaking my language. We can hold each other accountable to stay away from In n out.
mrscatfarmer13, I hope the next 2 weeks of classes and finals go by smoothly.
The doc I saw to confirm my pregnancy told me no exercising at all first tri (cuz I haven't been consistent with it lately and I'm AMA). I have been meaning to call my OB and see what he thinks, but keep putting it off...at this point, I'll just wait and ask in person at my appointment Monday. So I'm currently a slacker who slacks in the exercise department.
