Such a Monday

[aggiebug]

Morning ladies. How was your weekend? What's up today?


Nothing exciting here this weekend, stuck close to home thanks to potty training. (Which is quite frustrating here)

C was sick in the night last night poor dude, he was quite pitiful and it's almost 9 and he is still asleep. . I hope the sleep does him some good, however I'm afraid of what sleeping this late means for him. Poor dude.

aggiebug oh no, i hope C is okay. sickness + potty training = serious monday.

i increased my C's reflux meds on saturday night based on her current weight (we've never increased the dose since she started the PPI at 2.5 months old), and she seems to be feeling so much better already. she slept for 2-3 hours at a time last night instead of waking every 45 mins and crying.

my boss wants me to meet him in vegas in february for a conference, and i feel like i need to make it work even though i have major anxiety about leaving my baby overnight. i also need to start pumping more often to build a freezer stash for her if i'm going. i have a decent amount of milk frozen, but i don't want to give a lot of it to her because it's from times i was trialing foods or had coffee, etc., and i don't want her tummy upset while i'm gone. i actually think my company covers milk stork, but i probably won't be able to stick to my elimination diet 100% in vegas so that doesn't help me much. and while i'm blabbering...why is it that when H needs to travel for work, he just tells me, and i when i need to travel (so rare), i feel like i'm asking a huge favor?

how are we about to have three year olds you guys?! i'm starting to plan A's party (she wants an ariel party) and it's blowing my mind!

[aggiebug]

agm04 ugh reflux is so miserable I am sorry. I am glad upping the meds seems to have helped. I hope that continues for both your sakes.

And that work trip seems tough. I get you feeling pressure and how stressful that is with a total C's age. I'm sorry I hope you figure out a plan you can be at peace with. Also the mom guilt vs the dad lack of guilt is so frustrating. So much is self imposed but how do you stop it? It comes with being the primary parent. Double blah.

[agm04]

aggiebug thanks. i wish i knew how to get rid of the mom guilt! and H is a great dad...i can't imagine what it must feel like when partners aren't very involved. ah i guess it's just different for moms and probably always will be. on the plus side, i get WAY more baby snuggles than he does. haha.

Had a good weekend. My mom visited and baby sat so H and I could go on a date. And I had a nice lunch out with my mom.

H is going on a business trip in a few weeks. Hopefully it won't be too bad.

I'm asking for support to go to a conference in April and to do some Six Sigma training. I think I'll get to do the training and may just pay for the conference myself because they like to be cheap like that.

aggiebug hope C is feeling better!

agm04 glad the reflux meds are helping! Totally agree with Aggie that the difference in parenting demands and work demands and how to balance it all just makes it that much harder/frustrating.

seamonster yay for the good weekend! I’ve been thinking about you.

[lilyelayne]

OB appointment went well this morning, and I ran some errands while my dad was babysitting. A/S scheduled in 3 weeks! Think I’m gonna take a nap while G rests. I’m wiped for some reason.

Because you are growing a baby! How are you and H?

[agm04]

lilyelayne are you feeling any better nausea wise these days?

[dreemkin]

aggiebug hope C is feeling better and potty training isn't too rough today. I hate being stuck inside but it seems like you'd be there anyway today.

agm04 glad that C is much better. How long would your trip be? I say, if you can store up enough milk to do it, go and don't feel guilty. Missing your kid and feeling guilty are two different things. Like you said H wouldn't question it, so he can take his turn as "primary parent".

seamonster that sounds like a nice weekend. I'm jealous of all the ladies recent dates with your husbands! I need one of those!

lilyelayne yay for your good appointment. Can't believe your A/S is coming up already! Are you going to find out the sex during it??

I am back to my usual schedule which is nice but I was deep into a dream when my alarm when off this morning. Not so nice. So we have H's family coming for that side's "christmas" gathering this weekend. I am tired of getting the guest room ready and cleaning for all the hosting we do. So I'm putting the bed laundering and remaking on H. He hasn't done it yet and he's going to a training Wednesday to Friday (when they come into town). So he's making me nervous by waiting til last minute. I think he's trying to call my bluff.


And yes, when did our kids get so old?! My 5 year old has been looking so mature since her birthday and it bums me out. She's like a little lady 😢. And A is just...so old too 😭

[lilyelayne]

agm04 yeah big improvement in the last couple weeks. I only throw up 3-5x most days. OB says my amount of weight loss is still acceptable since I’m staying reasonably hydrated.

dreemkin yup we’ll find out sex. Then we can start talking names!

aggiebug eh we’re okay. He seems to be feeling a lot better but I guess lying to his wife every day was taking its toll. We’re communicating well, though. Until the last week I would’ve said that was one of our strengths, though, so. I don’t know. Anyway. We’re okay. Thanks for asking.

Lily - glad to hear things are going better for you and your dh. I hope these weren't some serious lies he was telling and something you can move past. My bet is that you are having a baby girl by the way!

My face pain is improving...slowly. Crazy snow storm this morning for my drive to work. I've started to look into summer camps for dd1! I booked her into a gymnastics camp for march break which I know she will love.

[lilyelayne]

mishka29 nothing we can’t get past. Dishonesty just takes so long to recover from. It’s frustrating.
Glad you’re getting some improvement! Hope it continues!

[dreemkin]

mishka29 I'm glad you are improving! Must have been a bacterial infection then - the antibiotics are justified (says the microbiologist)!

lilyelayne I'm sorry to hear it was lying. That would be tough to deal with. I hope you can have strength and find forgiveness ((hugs)).

[dreemkin]

lilyelayne baby names!!! 😍😍😍

[aggiebug]

lilyelayne I am glad things seem to me moving in the right direction, however slowly. Lying is always something that I think is so hard to recover from. You doubt everything they say to you. Lots of hugs and prayers for you both

[aggiebug]

C spiked a 104.6° fever after his nap so off to the pediatrician we went and we have confirmed diagnosis of flu. Poor kid. He just keeps moaning in his bed . Praying he is the only one who gets sick but I am not holding my breath. I have frantically lysoled everything I can think of.

[dreemkin]

aggiebug poor baby! Its good you know what is causing the fever but influenza is no fun, poor guy! Feel better C!

[agm04]

lilyelayne oy. 3-5 times a day as an improvement is rough, but i'm glad things are getting better.

aggiebug oh no, so sorry he has the flu.

[kartish]

aggiebug poor C I hope the rest of you can avoid it and he recovers quickly!

lilyelayne glad to hear there is improvement on both the MS and marriage, but I hope it continues posititively.
