10 thing/TP Tuesday

[mrscatfarmer13]

What's on tap today? 

[mrscatfarmer13]

TP to myself for wearing new shoes Saturday night. I have so many blisters on my feet from walking around the casino and dancing all night. Then last night I was changing the sheets and I kicked the wheel/lock or our bed, it hurt like a MF'er.

Another TP to these cold temps. I've been at work for 45min and I can still feel like legs trying to warm up. I wish snow would survive in 80 degree temps, that would be fantastic.

Fill me in.....what's TP?

My bad. TP= throat punch 

[babylove518]

K enlighten me... What TP?

10 things:
1. I need to make it a priority to check in here now that things are settling down at home!
2. DD slept in her crib for the first time (at least at night) last night! Only waking up to eat at 2 and 5 (hoping we can kick the 5 AM feed though and push it to 7... That's when I have to get up when I go back to work)
3. Speaking of work, I go back on Monday. At least it's only 20 hrs a week and I can bring my babe.
4. I'm having to eliminate dairy to see if DD has a sensitivity. I miss milk and cheese
5. I really miss milk and cheese.
6. I can't wait for warmer weather. I need to get out for walks and be active again!
7. I found a carrier DD likes! Infantino sash mei tai ftw
8. We are going to opening night for the reds. Whoop whoop
9. I have nothing else.
10. Other than I still miss milk and cheese. Mmmm cheese

Got it. Ignore my question!

[bazingaa]

Oh, perfect! TP to DH this morning for losing his car keys and having to wake me and DS up at 5am to frantically drive him to the airport to catch his flight. He made it to the gate as they were doing final call. Still don't know where his keys are. I fear the bushes out front were a casualty as we had to plow over them in order to get my car out of the garage since his car was blocking me in. Awesome start to the morning.

[sstwinklinglites]

mrscatfarmer13 - Did you wear heels? I can remember the last time I wore heels (Dec. 2013 btw). I even wore flats to the wedding a few weeks ago. I can't with the heels after being out of them for so long.

babylove518 - Yay for babe sleeping in her crib. With baby #2 I plan on going straight to the crib... I think. Also, really sucks about the dairy. Baba has food allergies so we'll be testing to get to the bottom of things. It sucks. Not quite the same as you having to give up dairy, but I feel you.

What work do you do that allows you to bring in baby? That's awesome!

[mrscatfarmer13]

sstwinklinglites - Yes I wore heels. These

[ladytiffany24]

TP to stupid driver who honked at me while turning off the highway exit then yelled out his window at me. There are 2 turn lanes and apparently, jack ass didnt' realize that. He honked then stopped his car right beside mine at a red light, rolled down his window and yelled "Learn how to drive" multiple times. I just smiled. YOU learn how to drive you old man. And also, grow up.

10 things:
1. DD had another bad night of sleep. So exhausted. Need to figure out when the best time will be to retrain.
2. For baby #2, we'll def be going straight to crib. I, to this day, think the way we did things with DD (rock n play sleeper from day 1 in our room) messed her up for lyfe. I think we'll start with crib in our room and then transition it to the nursery. The whole transition from RNP to crib has been rough overall.
3. I'm pretty sure I'm going straight to bed once I put DD down tonight to try and get sleep when she actually sleeps, which is still only like 2 1/3-3 hours at a time these days. This will mean I will be in bed and asleep by 8pm and I'm not mad at that.
4. I'm over the cold weather.
5. I bought red velvet oreos yesterday. And they are amazing. And therefore, they won't last long. Because I can't stop thinking about them.
6. My hair appt got rescheduled for Saturday morning. I desperately need it.
7. I'm tired.
8. I want a cupcake.
9. Do you see why I can't participate in these live healthy/eat healthy threads?! I just want oreos and cupcakes and cheeseburgers and french fries.
10. That's all I got.

Those are hawt. But they def look painful. Which dress did you end up wearing?!

[becole]

I thought TP was "thoughts and prayers". Lol. "Thoughts and prayers to me for wearing these heels on Saturday" haha...

1. I have a dentist appt at lunch so I won't see lo. That means i gotta remember to fit a pump in somewhere.

2. My poor baby looks like he has a serious contagious disease but it's just some virus. (Also double ear infection- second in February). I see tubes in his future.
3. I made a hair appt for Thursday at 3:30!!! I can make up the time for leaving work early and not miss out on too much lo time.
4. I have a luncheon Friday so I will miss another lunch with lo as well this week. Its like the worst timing ever to do things for you when your lo is sick.
5. Can't wait. Girls night.
6. I'm so stressed I'm getting headaches at night. Only from like 6 to bedtime. ??
7-10 My parents know how much we've been struggling with no sleep and lo being sick. They offered to watch him for a weekend or week next week so he can stay out of daycare and truly get well. The problem is breastfeeding and- it's not like lo sees them all the time- I'm afraid he will feel abandoned- miss his mommy. Thoughts? Experience?

[becole]

@clemama how old is your lo? Could sleep be due to ears? Any snot?

Can I please have this on video?

[becole]

I'm jealous you're going to opening night at the Reds babylove. Are you taking lo? They give a precious "first game" certificate.

[jmebormann]

ladytiffany24 I LOVE smiling and waving at stupid drivers. It makes them so angry:-) and geez girl I hope you can get some Zzzz's soon! Yay for an 8pm bedtime though.
bazingaa oh my, that sounds like a crazy morning! Things are so much different with a LO involved.
mrscatfarmer13 I have blisters on my feet too but not from fancy shoes, just new ones. Ouch.

10 things:

1-I feel so ridiculous always using my GPS even for places I've gone before around here.
2-My Starbucks tastes extra great today!
3-Victoria Secret here I come. New underwear are in order. I wore my granny panties far too long after baby.
4-I have 10 Young and the Restless on my dvr, and that makes me so excited! Ha.
5-found out we'll be in Cincy for at least a few years for hubby's job before possibly being relocated again.
6-I think we need a snow blower.
7-Happy that it's me and DD day of no activities.
8-I slept walked last night for the first time in years. I ended up in our living room which is downstairs and far from my bed. I can't believe I didn't trip or fall.
9-Making a yummy dinner with lettuce wraps and won-ton cupcakes.
10-Sad I can't come Saturday to see all you. Hoping there's another one soon!

I think I have those same shoes in gold! I wore them to a wedding in Vegas and I loved them. But, yeah, I remember my feet hurting the next day!

[sstwinklinglites]

mrscatfarmer13 - Sooo pretty!

ladytiffany24 - Ugh. Stupid drivers are the bane of my existence.

2. I could not agree with you more on this. We did PNP then crib at around six weeks. But I know sooo many ppl. that have had the toughest time transitioning out of the RNP.

becole - I was that constantly sick kid (and I was not a DC child). I got tubes and tonsils removed when I was four. Never got sick again. Ok, I exaggerate, but it helped tremendously.

3. I cut my hair last week and now I want to go back for highlights.

5. Ditto.

7 - 10. I think it's a wonderful idea. Do they live far? Maybe you can visit every two days or something so you can see LO and vice versa? LO needs time to recover, and you need sleep mama! Pump, pump, pump to compensate for the lack of BF. Maybe it's a good compromise if it means DS can fully recover and you can get some much needed rest.

[sstwinklinglites]

jmebormann - I too use my GPS even if I'm fairly
positive I know how to get to my destination. I fear getting lost.

She's 7 1/2 months. She just got over a little cold but haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary with snot that might be associated with ears. I also haven't noticed her grabbing at them and she doesn't seem to have a problem with me cleaning her ears either.

I keep thinking maybe it's teething but she still hasn't popped anything teeth. She wants to chew on everything and had a fair amount of drool though. Could it still be bothering her to the point of keeping her up even though there isn't anything coming through yet?!

[ladytiffany24]

jmebormann and sstwinklinglites I'm the same way! GPS just about everywhere I go even when I'm pretty sure I know where I'm going. I'm not a fan of getting lost.

I am a nanny! Of 16mo old boy/girl twins... It'll be an adventure, that's for sure! That's why I'm glad I found a carrier she likes, so I can have both hands free when she wants to be held

With most of our ear infections, there was a little snot, lack of sleep and trouble eating. Those were our only signs looking back.

We are! She will only be 3months, so we have to go with the mindset that we may not get to stay the whole time, but she's also probably young enough for us to just walk around with her and she will fall asleep in the carrier. So that's what I'm hoping for!

[becole]

sstwinklinglites. They live an hour 15 minutes, so it would be at least 3 hour round trip drive to check on lo. Not feasible after work during the week. I was thinking of either doing a long weekend- Thursday night to Sunday, or M-F. Not sure if my boobs can handle it though. I'm not getting let downs when I pump but I get them with lo.

She's almost snot free now and the only thing we're experiencing at this point is the lack of sleep. Ugh.

She definitely has no trouble with eating.

becole - I never BF, but have you tried looking at a picture of your LO or listening to relaxing music while you pump? I remember some of the ladies on my old BMB mentioned things like this. Or maybe even a blanket with some lotion or a scent on it that you associate with him that you could smell while pumping?

Booo. Well, I think you need a break. Maybe the long wknd. would help.

What an interesting idea. I wish I would have heard of this when I was pumping. I never got letdowns when pumping, thus, would get like an ounce.
