Wednesday check-ins?

[JoBub]

Because I'm bored today and can't think of anything interesting to post about... Tag someone you want to check up on!

chunkymonkeylvr How are you feeling? How's that little baby doing?

bazingaa Haven't seen you around in a few days. Hope this pregnancy is going easy on you!

I really like this idea!

becole - How are you feeling? I know I talked to you yesterday, but seriously, if it's gallstones, I feel for ya. I'll be checking in regularly with you. Lol.

Work is going on. And it's seriously interfering with my PBing (pro boarding...that's what we call it on my birth month board).

DD is still a very inconsistent sleeper. We have a couple of good nights then a couple of crappy nights. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Edit: spelling

Hey lady! Thanks for checking on me. I actually have felt pretty normal since Sunday. Idk. I'm just kinda waiting it out...

Good luck with naps today! I know you mentioned pushing naps back. Our dc basically said close to 1 year, they will push his first nap towards noon and make it one nap.

narbuckle01 how's it going with pumping and preparing?

Good. Maybe it was a really bad bought of indigestion? Haha.

My goal was to push it back today. I figure if it has to be one nap a day, it should be closer to midday, so he's not up this crazy long stretch after the nap... that went out the window. I just had to put him down because he was already fussing and rubbing his eyes. I just don't get the not wanting the second nap thing, or how to fix it at this point. I think I've pretty much tried it all.

[JoBub]

becole Has LO been healthier lately?

(I hope I'm remembering right, you were having a lot of trouble with illness from DC, right?)

Not well. Had a break down on DH this morning while driving to work, tears and all. It's the last day of his 7 day work stretch... essentially the last day of me being a single parent.  Thank goodness. I did eat the sh*t out of some granola and oatmeal power bar things yesterday and I just pumped 3.5 oz. Yay!

And I definitely have my morning/evening routine down! I even have her BMs on a schedule so she blows through her pj's and not her DC outfit. Mom for the win!

[vlagroupie]

scarneae where you at? If I remember correctly, you are due sometime in April?

[mominthemaking14]

narbuckle01 Ah ok.

sstwinklinglites how's work and sitter hunting going?

I can see the light at the end of the tunnel as far as digging out from the high priority items right now. That being said, it'll probably still take me into next week to complete those items.

Once I get past that, I think I can relax a little and just get organized with the day to day work.

[JoBub]

sstwinklinglites, I don't know how you're doing it. I can't get a damn thing done when I'm home with LO. Like zero. Not a single thing gets accomplished when DS is in the house. Ever. Nothing. I don't know how SAHMs do it. WAHM is just amazing to me.

I'll take that as the highest of compliments.

Let me tell you how I'm doing it... I rotate DS between the PNP, the jumper, and the play pen. I get stuff done while he takes his first nap. I pray he'll take a second nap.

And I've been working at night. The night thing won't be the norm, just until I can catch up with all the mess and get things back on track. Andplusalso, my house is a war zone. Total mess everywhere. DH has been putting dirty dishes and bottles to wash for me every night. He's done laundry this week. And I haven't been cooking. Again, just until I can get a handle on things; I'm seriously tired of eating out already.

He was well last week. Right now he has a nasty cough. But that's the usual. Thanks for asking- yes he has been sick this whole winter and really sick in February. I am hoping this warm stretch will help us!

[bazingaa]

JoBub, thanks for the checkin! This past week has been a rough one. I've had a terrible cold since Saturday, out of office meetings Monday and Tuesday for work, and non stop cleaning and meal prep in the evenings in preparation for my MIL coming in for a long weekend visit tomorrow. No time for any fun . Hopefully things will settle down soon!

Ugh, having a cold while KU is the worst! I remember last year I was so hesitant to take cold medicine, even though Doc B said Tylenol cold was ok. Hope your visit with MIL goes smoothly, are you cooking anything good? We usually just eat out when my ILs come to town.

In other news, we're still living the same life. I had that cold last week, and my ILs visited last weekend.

[sstwinklinglites]

On a scale of 0 to I Should Get Fired, where does having a glass of wine while working from home land?

[becole]

I would do it. If you're productive, who cares.

[sstwinklinglites]

It's happening:

[mom2boxers]

sstwinklinglites - That looks like a fish bowl of wine.

It's a stemless wineglass. A bowl wouldn't be a bad idea though.

[vlagroupie]

sstwinklinglites awesome, go for it!

[narbuckle01]

I've done it, on more than 1 occasion.

Sadly, nothing too exciting. My inlaws are very much meat and potatoes kind of people. When I've tried to be "adventurous" it's not gone over well. Last visit I made chicken tortilla soup, which I consider to be quite normal... They just kind of picked at it and looked confused. I kid you not. So, I've been prepping things like chicken for grilling, meatloaf, mashed potatoes, blueberry muffins, zucchini bread, etc. Think Bob Evans / Cracker Barrel style meals haha. Oh well, probably less time consuming in the long run anyway! I think the visit should go well. Secretly happy that it's just MIL and not FIL too. Does that make me a bad person?

I swear sickness is all over this city! The changing weather is a killer. 

[bazingaa]

sstwinklinglites, I can imagine that wine greatly helped your mood but I can't see it helping productivity!

It didn't. I think I totally stopped working and was just probing at that point.

mrscatfarmer13 - I went to Kroger to get formula for DS, and they had like 50% of their Easter Candy for $1, and I remembered you mentioned Easter coming up... DH came out like a bandit. I'm making the basket for DS of course, but since he can't eat any of the candy, it'll default to DH.

I got him a little toy and plastic eggs that I'll fill so he can use as shakers, any other baby friendly ideas?
