Wacky Wednesday Spam

[cougarette]

Spam. You got it, I want it.

[cougarette]

Although I won't be able to keep up as well since I'm going back to work today. Mixed feelings for sure, but I know it'll be okay.

[WittyLittle]

cougarette, good luck back at work!
The newness of working has worn off and I'm back to being as non-productive as ever. Yayyyyy! I missed the old me

I spent the morning trying to find an affordable carry bag to put our stroller on the plane (in the hold) next week. It's a Joolz Day. If anyone has a handy solution that doesn't cost an arm and a leg I'd be happy to hear it!

WittyLittle, slacker and as for my previous post just forget it lol. I forget you aren't in the US sometimes. Southwest Airlines has reusable stroller bags for $15 which is why I mentioned it.


I have a mom's small group today its the last one until school starts back in the fall so we are having a breakfast brunch. I am just happy to talk to some adults other than H and not have to worry about the child.

Ryanair. The king of cheap european travel where you have to pay for every darn thing They do allow a stroller and a car seat to be checked in, but I'm pretty sure they will come back smashed to bits if I don't pack them properly. It's the only option we have for the route we need to take

[miniwheat]

cougarette, Good luck today! I hope your day is fun and quick.

DH bought a truck yesterday! We went to the dealer just as a "let's see what they have" and 30 minutes later we walked out with a truck. And my poor car was the trade in! We have outgrown it already, so it was a good plan, I just didn't think it would happen so fast haha. I am having that big purchase panic!! But I know this was eventually going to happen.

There was frost last night and I forgot to cover my flowers and strawberry plant. I think they might be goners already.

[lotsofdotts]

@courarette Good luck going back to work! You got this!

My husband is on day three of keeping Brady. Last night Brady got up at 1:30 and then the dog got up at 3:30 and then I was up at 5 for work. When Brady woke up a little after 5, DH had the nerve to be pissy and say, "this whole getting two hour spurts of sleep isn't working for me." I almost laughed in his face.

When DH was going to work, he literally got ready for work and left before any of the kids woke up. This morning I got up, pumped, cleaned dog pee off the kitchen floor, nursed Brady, washed dishes, got the kids up for school and started getting them ready for my mom to pick up and got myself ready. Yep, I'm not feeling sorry for you buddy!

[hollydfromtn]

cougarette hugs for your first day back.

We sold my car yesterday too miniwheat. The man who bought it was giving it to his little brother for his first car and he was so excited. The kid had seen one day a couple of weeks ago and has been calling my husband ever since trying to set up a time to get it. I was a little sad to see it go, but I'm so glad we were able to make him so happy.

I'm currently laying here listening to DS make the loudest sucking and lip smacking noises he can while he sucks on his hands in his pnp. He just ate, so I know he's not hungry. He's just cooing away happy as can be. We're starting to get real consonant and vowel sounds now. They're so cute.

We're off to our first moms group play date today. It's at a gymnastics studio. There won't really be anything for DS to do but I'll get to meet the moms and hopefully make a few connections. I really need more grownup interaction in my life.

cougarette GL today!

WittyLittle Does Airshells operate in Holland? It's a Danish company that rents stroller and wheelchair bags and I know we have them here in Sweden. But they may not operate on Ryanairs weird airports of course. I hate Ryanair! Sorry you have to use them.

miniwheat Hope your plants can recover, I hate when that happens.

[michelle142]

cougarette GL today!!

Anyone want to find me some winning lottery numbers so I don't have to work anymore?

[misshart00]

I'm exhsusted and sick of rain/severe weather.

Does anyone else get really hot and sweat while nursing?

[WittyLittle]

@alyllyra, I just looked it up, apparently they don't operate here . That sounds like such a good idea!!! So envious!

Too bad! I haven't tried it yet but I like the idea. I'm gonna try it out when we go to Italy this summer. I hope you can find something else that works for you 'cause I wouldn't trust Ryanair to be careful with the stroller.

I just don't remember that with my first. It's so weird and uncomfortable.

[michelle142]

misshart00 I don't remember that with my first either.

This time around, a lot of things are new and different.

[ChickenOnSunday]

Very quietly whispering that Addie only woke up once the past two nights around 3am. Hoping I said this softly enough so I didn't jinx myself.

Yes! My dr was saying that because of the low estrogen levels when ebf you're essentially in menopause. Hot flash, maybe? I don't know, but it sucks, especially when we're out and it's already hot.

[cougarette]

One of the grumpy programmers came up and welcomed me back. I sure missed these guys.

Morning ladies! DD1 had a 103.8 fever last night but is fine this morning. I was pretty worried but it completely broke to 98 in 40 minutes with motrin. No clue what was going on. My niece has this happen all the time apparently. Weird.

DD2 had a better day. Less crying, more napping. She liked the tester merlin suit so I bought one. It should arrive today.

Esh poor girl. It's not related to her uti is it?

I could see that. But would it have the same effect if I'm still getting my period?

Hmmmm... I'm not sure. Maybe it's some other fun hormonal thing?

lol. Don't you love all the hormonal crap?

[dacora]

I finally got some sleep last night, the zzzquil seemed to help thank goodness. Unfortunately DD seems to be making a habit of waking up at five am the past two mornings. It could be so much worse, but I was getting used to her waking at seven. She's been finishing her bottles more consistently so maybe I should offer her another ounce before bed.

@nolagal,

UTI? Potty training or already done with that mess?

[lilyelayne]

cougarette good luck at your first day!
hollydfromtn hope the play date is fun! Is this the group you had to apply to join?
misshart00 yep. Nursing hot flashes. They're horrid.
@nolagal glad your daughter's fever broke
dacora yay sleep! Zzzquil didn't make you too groggy in the morning?

[lilyelayne]

I'm feeling disjointed this week. I keep messing up what day it is & being really confused.

DD1 has had two UTIs in the last month or do. We are done with potty training, and she had a renal ultrasound to rule out any kidney or bladder issues.I'm guessing it was a fluke or she just sucks at wiping. We're working on the latter. I don't think this fever was uti related. She hasn't complained about peeing or wetting the bed. Hoping it was just a weird virus?

Are you secretly my older sister? Her daughter had the same issues and the ultrasound came back negative.

UTis make me nervous to start potty training W but we are biting the bullet and going with it this weekend. I'm thinking of wrapping the couch in plastic like on Mama's Family.

[michelle142]

D's never had a uti until after he was potty trained either. He's a holder now though. Some days we have to bargain with him to pee.
