It's my day off but I have one private client today. It's also 2 am here and I'm up with a 3 year old that has had a 103.6 fever, on n off, for 3 days now. It really sucks.
Working today as well. Have to go grocery shopping later. I feel so unmotivated. Going to watch The Blacklist this morning while putting on my makeup. Thats all for me.. nothing exciting. Symptoms...just dog tired and my back hurts.
Heartburn woke me up at 1:30, but since then I've been fine. Sitting on a bus for what will likely be an hour and a half thanks to the random snow fall last night. I would much rather be in bed. Normally I work from home on the Monday I don't have off, so I'd still be in bed if I hadn't swapped my day to accommodate my next appointment.

After being on vacation for a weekend, coming home early because of sick kids, and having a lazy weekend my house is a mess!! Looks like I'm in for a long day of homeschool and cleaning.
Woke up about every two hours because my hips were hurting and I had to switch sides....not fun. Good news...they transferred my grandma back to my hometown last night so now everyone can visit her! Meeting all morning today which is kinda gross.
DD slept through the night after a week of waking multiple times a night. It was glorious. That of course didn't prevent me from waking a couple of times but I could just get comfortable and fall asleep again. I'm still a bit tired but it's always worse when DD wakes frequently.
My cat has also been accident free for over a week... No more surprises on the carpet! The only downside is that we have to lock her up at night but she's adjusting to it and doing well.
I bought a bag of those individually wrapped dried prunes on Friday. I hope I'm not jinxing it but they have been life changing. I've started with 2 in the morning and 1 at night. I also bought colace as a backup because last week was ROUGH, but I haven't had to take it yet. Plus I've been on top of my water intake, so I'm sure that's helping. Keeping 3 ice cold Nalgenes in rotation when at home.
I bought a bag of prunes at Sam's last week. So far so good!
as far as symptoms, I'm tired, but mostly of my own making. Very close friends face-timed with pregnancy news last night and we talked until after midnight. I'm so very excited for them!
I'm sure the heart burn will rear it's ugly head today tho.
My sinuses are killing me, which is so fun. Plus I woke up to fucking snow. So tired of the cold and snow. I woke up like 6 times last night to pee or drink or change positions. Luckily I'm off today but I still have a lot to do.

I hate Monday mornings. All I wanted to do was stay in bed today! Ugh.
I have been testing since my GD diagnosis last week and all of my numbers have been normal and nowhere near the 140 limit 1 hour after meals, so far so good I guess!! I haven't changed what I'm eating too much so it hasn't been too much of an adjustment. I could really do without pricking my fingers 4x a day though.... On a positive note, we have our first growth US tomorrow (have every 4 weeks now because of GD), so we get to see our little guy!

My damn thoughtful, caring husband has me cursing him today even though he is so sweet. I was all set to work from home today because of some major snow last night, but when I got up I saw that he shoveled my half of the driveway to make sure I could get out without any problems. So I had to put on real pants and come into work.

We have the glider all set up in the nursery! Finally able to envision everything and no all I need are the decor pieces!
Symptoms wise, I've been feeling some movement above my belly button and I've "finally" started putting on some weight. FX everything goes this smoothly for the rest of the pregnancy:)
I knew today was going to be a busy day when I left on Friday...and then one of my Account managers decided he was going to throw 10 other things at me that needs to be done ASAP...well guess was A its nor getting done because I have a bigger project to get done... Just because you wait until the last minute to get your stuff done doesn't mean I'm going to rush to get it done for you... Try responding to one of the 10 emails i sent you over the past 3 weeks and then ill look at your crap

Feeling sore and like shit from bending to clean yesterday. All I wanted was to stay in bed today. I also have been waking up with horrible hip pain from side sleeping. Also, what feels like period cramps (BH?) I have a lot to complain to my dr about tomorrow.
In good/AW news, I had my performance review on Friday and it went great! I am going to get the 16 weeks of leave I wanted, because I got granted some extra vacation. I will be up for a promotion at the end of the year, but I feel like I am just as likely to want to take a step back into a less stressful role at that time, so we'll see what happens. I am mostly happy for the small raise I got because our bank account has been scary with the baby related purchases lately...

@bubbs119 that's exactly how I felt!! I was lucky that our glider came in in 5 weeks (they quoted 8-10 but said they have a habit of coming in early). I'm glad I didn't start buying other decor because the way we ended up arranging the big pieces was not the original way I planned! I hope your glider gets here soon so you can have fun decorating:)

Spent all day Sunday car shopping (successful! proud owner of a Volvo XC90). Got home late, poured kids in bed, cleaned kitchen. DS joined us in bed at midnight-ish, DD came in at 1, crying because I forgot to "snuggle her after I unloaded the car." DS starting crying when I got out of bed. Downhill from there. So tired....... And to top it off, my whole right side hurts.
I did manage to remind DH to put his dress shirt on before he walked out the door. Glad I'm not the only tired one, lol.
Ugh so it looks like DD may be coming down with pneumonia.. They are calling in a new breathing treatment and antibiotics. She is on higher vent settings and 5 liters of oxygen!!! She never need oxygen so this is huge!! And her oxygen levels are still crap!! If the meds and breathing treatment doesn't help today it will be to the hospital we go. I can't give her more oxygen here so if she needs more we will also have to go in. Last night and this morning has been hell. I am so tired of looking at her damn alarms watching the horrible numbers not get better. Sleeping on the floor next to her bed all night waking up every twenty min to suction and reposition her. I am done with this sickness crap!!!
Yesterday, DS and I went to Target and we lost his brand new pair of sunglasses. I know he had them when we walked in and then I realized halfway through the trip they were gone. They are from the Gap and I had them shipped with a bunch of other stuff about a week ago so I didn't pay shipping on them. Well...I just re-ordered them and paid $15.00 for the glasses/shipping. Really?? I just couldn't stop thinking about them (plus my poor DS saying "My glasses? My glasses go?") and so I just did it. I feel guilty.
I spent yesterday pampering myself (SHOPPING?!). I'd had a nice day to myself and the weather was nice. I was under the impression that SO would be finishing work at 5 - he didn't. We had plans to go a romantic drive and spend some couple time. Instead I did my nails and felt bad most of the night. Today SO was supposed to finish at 5 and we were going to have our couple time, guess what... He isn't finishing at 5. When I found this out earlier in the afternoon I cried and drove out to see my mum. (Big deal for me as ive not long passed my test and it is a busy busy road). Needless to say my mum wasn't that interested in seeing me & she did keep touching my belly, I had to ask her to stop as I don't like it. so the trip was a waste of fuel but I did enjoy the drive. & also my nails keep falling off! I think it's the worlds way of saying ''No! You're pregnant! You don't deserve to feel pretty!'' & am I being a bitch for wanting to have some quality couple time out of the house? I mean I hardly see him or so it feels & he always gets held back in work. I'd like to go for a drive or a meal and just enjoy the good weather, but when he's finished usually it's too late to do anything and its home to bed... which is rubbish because I can never sleep and then he's gone again. I mostly spend my time at the in-laws (although we aren't married yet I don't know what else to call them because my family aren't that interested.
My 2 and a half year old insists on digging in her diaper after she poops. This is a new thing. Im not sure how to discourage it... It's fucking nasty.
