Has anyone has strep recently? Can you help diagnose me? I think I'm going to urgent care when they open. Muscle aches, extreme fatigue, persistent headache, chills/hot flashes. fever and very sore throat. Came on so suddenly yesterday afternoon. This does not bode well for my interview tomorrow
Good morning! I'm sitting on the floor with DD right now. Im drinking coffee and she's playing with her stacking cups. Those silly IKEA stacking cups are one of her favorite toys and they were so cheap! I'm going to IKEA tomorrow to get her a table and chairs (the chairs my mom originally bought her from Amazon were damaged on arrival and I don't want to deal with that again), any other toys that I should snag while I'm there without DH there to rein me in??
starfisher, hope it's not strep and you feel better.
@elf828, we got DS the anytime chair for Christmas, he loves it!
Dreaming, I've never gotten toys at ikea but these cups sound like something the blondemum home needs!
DS is playing while I watch him and drink coffee. Part of me really loves how well he can sit and entertain himself. DH is sleeping. Since DS still isn't STTN we came up with a deal. He stays up late to handle the first one or two wake ups while I sleep and I take the second half of the night and get up with LO when he gets up early. This way we both get at least 5 or 6 solid hours of sleep.
My mil comes today to watch the kids while we house hunt.
Hooray for house hunting!! Please live blog about how you don't like the houses because of the paint colors and other BS reasons they use on HGTV. But in all seriousness, I hope that you have good luck today, and have fun!
I think if i turned down a house because of paint colors DH would smack me with a paint brush. ?
starfisher I hope you feel better. I'm not sure strep has body aches.
@elf828 I don't think polls are working on the app. You have to make and view them in Webview.
I think we had the worst night ever, like even with 4mw and newborn stuff. So. Much. Screaming. My nerves are still fried. I just hope that was the worst of it.
No big plans today. Food shopping, crocheting, and cleaning.
@elf828 about the PBK anywhere chair...we got navy and I'm totally regretting it because of all the fuzz and dog hair it attracts. I'd recommend getting a lighter colored on especially with Kaiser.
starfisher I hope it isn't strep and it is just a quick bug.
Dreaming We also have the IKEA stacking cups which LO loves to use. We also use them as the cups at bathtime. They have holes in them and DS loves to see the water come out of them. They also have a shape sorter house that LO likes to take the blocks out of and put back in. They also have stacking rings if you don't have those yet. I'm camp IKEA toys apparently...
LO has been waking up at 3:30 every morning for an hour or two. Why kid? You were doing so well.
Our church is remodeling a section and yesterday we helped them with demo. The building is from like 1920s and has the old tin ceilings. Georgeous. But, they want it all ripped out. We offered to rip it out if we could keep some of it (we will sell the rest) to put up in our kitchen. It is going to be worth it, but OH MY WORD. I feel like I got tetanus shots in both arms. And after 6 hrs, we only took out about 100 sq ft. It is long, tedious, and very dirty work.
I'm doing a spa day today with one of my friends (using gift certificates from Christmas). So excited! DH is going to be in charge all day, which hasn't happened recently. I think it will be good for him and DS.

+1 for fuzz showing on the navy! My cousins DD has the pink with polka dots and it doesn't show any fuzz or hair.
So we had a blast for date night last night. We went and had wings, came back home, put on music and had drinks and played backgammon. Might sound lame to some, but we talked and laughed and had so much fun together. It was definitely what we needed!
It's a lazy Sunday. But we get our new stove delivered today ! I'm so excited since I love to cook and the stove we have now is a piece of crap. Any ideas of what to cook first?
@elf sorry LO had a rough night, hope she feels better soon!
Dreaming I wish had an IKEA closer to us, I lve only been once whenever I was eight months pregnant and wanted to buy EVERYTHING. I still want to put the picture frame shelves in every room bc they are so stinking cute and cheap. Have fun!!
starfisher hope you feel better soon! I had symptoms like that a month ago, I went to the doctor and they gave me a shot, the worst of it was over by the next day. Chills/ body aches are the worst!!
LO is still asleep. It's 7 over here. This is a rare gift from the baby sleep gods. I hope he's in a happy mood whenever he wakes up, we have to go visit DH's family today, last time we went they said he was a spoiled mammas boy and I could tell his fussiness got on FIL's nerves. Um no, he's just going through a separation anxiety stage and wants his momma.
rondackhiker have all of the fun house hunting! Go in with an open mind (which I know you will), and be realistic (which I know you will too).
Good morning! It's taking all of my self control to not clamp L's mouth shut--she is grinding her teeth and I've been on the verge of vomiting for an hour now. What do we do about this? Grin and bear it? Give her a chew toy lol? Aaaaack I can't even handle it.
You guys, we want to go to Trader Joes today, but it's at Patriot Place (where the Colts/Pats game is today). Do you think it will be insane first thing in the morning?
I'd think it'd probably be fine, I'd be more concerned about traffic on the way home, but it'd depend on what your route is. Pats traffic is my least favorite part about our church being in Dedham. LO slept OK at my parents last night though half the night was in bed with me. It's so hard to get him back down in the crib when he can see me. And at one point he was sleeping sitting up bent over with his head on my chest lol. But he's being really chill and happy with my parents this morning, so I can actually work and pump with no worries, it's so nice!
From yesterday's randoms ... MissDemeanor, I hope that you don't always think of sex as a chore. I hope that whatever you decide to do with your relationship leads to you being with someone that you desire to screw.

Sorry to be a whiner!
I had strep back in August. Your symptoms sound like they could be strep. Only way to know for sure is to get a throat swab. I hope that's not what you have. It's pretty miserable. Even with antibiotics I felt sick for at least a week.
DS is smashing his soother against his crib rails like a caveman. The soothing part is not working. I can hear him grunting and getting pissed. He looks like people look when they put money in a vending machine and the candy bar gets stuck halfway out of the slot.
I've never been in an ikea. They are building one in St. Louis that will be open in the fall. I do have to go to Kansas in the next few weeks. Is it worth the extra hour drive?
It's a January miracle. DD slept through the night. And so far no more puking. When I went in to get her this morning,she was sitting up and she stuck her hand through the crib slats and waved at me. It was sweet!

I've never been to an IKEA either. I think the closest one is in Dallas for me. The way people talk I'm missing out on something great

Good morning. Now I want to go to IKEA and buy all the things. I'm also in need of a trip to TJ's now too. IKEA is not super close, but I do have a TJ's not too far. Looks like I'll add that to my errands today.
H has a man cold and he's been out of town most of the last couple of weeks. Today was supposed to be when I get a little time to myself because I've been at the end of my rope. To say I'm a little irritated would be an understatement.
starfisher - feel better soon! rondackhiker - good luck today! Hope you find something you love! hashtagrainbow - solidarity, sister. E has been doing the same thing and has been so fussy because of the new teeth coming in. That noise makes my skin crawl.
