It's Thursday... Give me your spam

Talk to me

[toadandbuggie]

I am headed to my work to meet with one of my coworkers to give her an extra car seat I have and I am stressing about seeing everyone! I had a dream last night that I asked my boss to work part time and he got mad at me. I am so nervous to ask for that. My plan is to just ask his assistant for a meeting so I can look more professional when I ask and not have my LO.

Any advice on asking for part time or switch at work is welcome!

5:30 am sucks. Especially when you got up with DD at 2:45-3:50.

Is it weird that I'm already looking forward to Saturday and coming back to bed after my 5:30 pump to sleep and/or nap that day.

[lilyelayne]

toadandbuggie I'd ask for an appointment to discuss changing your role at work instead of bringing it up at a casual meet the baby moment. If you can't drop to part time, will you stay with your pre-preg job or look elsewhere?

[toadandbuggie]

lilyelayne yeah that's my plan. Not sure if I would. Probably not. We would be financially okay with me part time so I wouldn't be able to voluntarily be apart from my LO for that many days if I don't have to.

[lilyelayne]

I wish I had big chain shopping closer to home. Our mall & Old Navy are a 40 minute drive away. We've got some cute local boutiques including a kid's store here in town but I'm thinking I'll need new jeans & that's not happening at these boutiques.

So I'm trying to plan my day and trying to decide if I want to drive to the mall. We're going out of town tomorrow so I also need to pack today.

Hope y'all got some sleep!

I'm going to the dentist today.

I was feeding DS this morning at 130 and I heard the scariest screeching sound outside! I was so terrified! I woke DH up and made him check it out and it was racoons fighting.

[cougarette]

cloe111479 That's not weird at all. I also look forward to Friday night when I know I'll have DH's help for some of the motn stuff overt the next two days.

OMG I hate swype on the galaxy s5. I tried to say this:

Although I hate wishing that it was Friday and speeding up the few weeks I have left at home.

This is what it came up with:

Although o hate wishing that it was fussy and showing up the fee Elle I have left at home.

It wasn't this bad with the s2 that I recently had.

My mil is visiting today....woowho!

Lo is still upstairs sleeping! Good morning so far!

[misshart00]

We woke up this morning at 3 to a screaming cat. It was kind of terrifying.

Anybody else see on the news that the pilot deliberately crashed that flight in France? So fucked up and scary.

I did! It is so crazy. How could he do that and take all those people with him.

[wendy46001]

Morning all. Havent been able to find computer time lately (which is such an odd feeling)
Sorry to anyone who isn't getting sleep. Think we've finally set a schedule over here (all her doing) so now I feel like a normal person. Which will likely end tomorrow due to my whole family showing up for the week. Joy

Between my brother and I we will have five kids under five running around my house for the next seven days
this will either be fun or an epic fail

[modernfairytale8709]

I'm so happy to be home!

We have a topical ointment to putt on LOs butt ulcer, but it's already almost completely resolved. I'm so excited that the propranolol is already working to shrink her giant hemangioma. It's going to be a long process, but I'm glad we're already seeing results.
We're camping out at my parents until at least the weekend, to get caught up on sleep. Between my mom, dad, and three younger sibs, there's lots of hands to hold the baby.
We'll go home again someday before she hits her teens.

[mels823]

I can't help but feel that I bombed my job interview yesterday... it started off so well and then I don't know if it was sleep deprivation or what but I was asking the most stupid questions and I feel really dumb now. Ugh.

in cooler news, HBO is filming a new show in my rinky dink tiny hometown! It's about the Salem witch trials. I want to go check out the set this next weekend when I go home to visit my parents.

Am I a terrible mom because I can hear my baby stirring across the room and I am still sitting here typing? I feel like I have no energy to stand up!! Thank god it is a rest day from my workouts.

So I want to take LO but I hate the car seat stroller combo. Does it make sense to take him out of the car seat when I arrive and load him in the Ergo? How do I logistically do this?

I would put him in the Ergo before you leave home so you know it's adjusted properly, take him out, put him in the car seat, go wherever you're going, and when you get there put baby in the Ergo and leave the car seat in the car.
I wore DS to a funeral last week in the K'Tan. I parked, got in the backseat, put on the K'Tan, put DS in, got out of the car, and finished adjusting. Don't know that I could put on the Ergo sitting down in a car tho.

[mrszee]

badw0lf, I did this last week at the grocery store-I set up my carrier in the back seat opposite side of LO's car seat, took her out of the car seat, brought her around to the other side of the car and got her all situated in her infant insert then put her up. Just reversed it for going home.

mels823, no, LO is stirring now and I am wondering if she is going to nod back off.

I think we are going through a wonder week because she was suuuuuper fussy last night/so far this morning-like to where she mostly has to be on me all the time but the plus side of this is she slept 4 hours straight last night!

[flyster]

Just came back from our pediatrician appt. LO got his first set of shots. His face got so red. Poor baby. He is sleeping now. Everything looks good with him, he is a healthy growing baby, which is all I could ever want No plans for the rest of the day, just seeing how he does.

I thought some of you ladies with a toddler and a newborn would enjoy this. I'm not going to lie it kinda made me excited to have another baby in a few years!

Ugh so I found out a couple of weeks ago that my friend's husband was cheating on her and had a mistress.

Turns out it wasn't just the mistress, he was a Craigslist creeper and had been cheating for a couple years with random women. Once she found all this out, she filed for divorce this morning.

I feel so bad for her - her life is like Lifetime movie. He had this whole double life and had everyone duped. They've been together since high school (14 years).

Gross and super sad. Sorry for your friend.

[cougarette]

So I'm here getting my oil changed NIP. As in, literally in the waiting room. Well ok, I'm off to the side in the vending machine area, but still. There are strangers around.

Oh man I related to a lot of this. Especially when I changed my toddlers diaper after getting hone from the hospital. She was always so tiny to me and then she was instantly huge!

Wahoo!  Yeah for nip bravery!!

@holachica, that is really crappy for your friend, I feel terrible for her 

snow in the forecast = no, just no.  DH is away at a conference and I am minorly jealous of him sleeping in peace and quiet.

You rock that! Boob power!

Thanks! Luckily he doesn't mind the cover. Although he did keep sticking his hand out the top. Haha, silly boy.

Last night was so bad! LO must be going through a 6wk growth spurt. He was up basically every hour. Which sucks since I am pretty much EP. Speaking of maybe I need to start pumping in a different room. He always seems to wake up 5 mins in.

I can't pump in front of the baby. She screams for the milk.

I am trying to secretly pump right now while LO is napping.

[mommadozer]

Damn I jinxed myself. Guess who just woke up..... Hopefully he just hangs out til I'm done.

Awesome! Great job. I just whipped out my nip on Tuesday at Wegman's (grocery store). It was at a support group meeting but hey, its a start to me getting comfortable NIP. I had issues with coordinating being modest and holding DD so I just decided to say eff it and whipped it out with my back turned to anyone who wasn't in the support group. It felt good and empowering!

[mands1125]

My spam for today is that I am finally done taking Lovenox (blood thinner) shots. I have been taking them twice a day since I was 8 weeks pregnant and had to continue for 6 weeks PP. I love my hematologist and all but she tried to tell me to take baby aspirin and originally thought it was okay for nursing mothers. I challenged her, she looked it up, and came back to say that I was right. She doesn't really see a lot of pregnant/nursing patients (mostly cancer patients) so I will cut her some slack. Regardless, I am happy to be done injecting myself!!
