Tuesday spamathon

[aggiebug]

Put it here

[aggiebug]

Today we are heading to the zoo. It will be DD's first trip. Hopefully it's a fun day for all.

Then tonight I get to finally meet in person a local nestie whom I met on the knot 6 yrs ago. I am excited!

[michelle142]

I can't believe it's only Tuesday.

It's a quiet work day today, since a lot of people are out of the office or at the other location. I'm ok with that.

My doggy is headed to the vet today. I hope we can get some answers. The poor guy just isn't himself, and having both a dog AND a baby in diapers is sort of a pain in the ass. I'm a little nervous about what might be wrong. He's on the "old" side for his breed and the vet he's seeing isn't the regular one we go to, so he's not really familiar with his other health issues. I just hope it's nothing serious.

michelle142, Hope your pup gets well soon.

No real spam for me. My friends are coming by soon! I am also online shopping for my anniversary gift. It's 10 months away but DH should know what I want right?!

[jensoprano82]

michelle142 - hope the pup pup is ok!

No spam here, except that my little guy is having a lot of gas pains and I'm hoping he can sleep through it. Poor little boy!

[misshart00]

Fingers crossed DS is getting his tongue fixed today. I'm ready for it to be done but so nervous too. I hope it helps him take a bottle and a paci and I hope it helps me not hurt so bad.

My grandma is taking the toddler all day so yay! DD also thinks the new phone book is her new giant coloring book. So whatever.

[mmarie]

Hope you get answers michelle142 and I hope the pup feels better soon

Have fun at the zoo and your meet up aggiebug

My mom is here for the day. I have an interview this morning and then a garage sale to go to this evening. It's like a pre sale to the garage sale that my cousins SIL is having. She has 2 of the most stylish little girls I have ever met. They always hAve the cutest little outfits on so I'm excited to get first pick of some of their stuff!

[mmarie]

Good luck misshart00

ETA wrong tag

[boxerrrmama85]

michelle142 poor pup and poor you-- that's a lot to deal with.

misshart00 good luck for your little one. Good vibes for a successful procedure.

badw0lf at what point are maternity pants not acceptable-- pretty sure I have a few still in my rotation?!? Is this wrong?

[boxerrrmama85]

Spending the day at home-- sent LO to daycare so I could rest-- my milk supply definitely has taken a hit since being sick... And I just need a day to take it easy -- and by easy I do mean that a few loads of laundry will at least get done.

[miniwheat]

misshart00, Good Luck today for your LO!

boxerrrmama85, Rest up and get well soon.

[lilyelayne]

aggiebug have fun! Love meeting Internet friends IRL.
michelle142 hope the vet is helpful. Let us know!
misshart00 keep us posted!
boxerrrmama85 rest up and hydrate like crazy!

May go visit my grandmother today. She lives around the corner from Hobby Lobby so wooden letters may be acquired. Boring day

[misshart00]

My biggest fear is that we're going to do the procedure and nothing changes. I'm so freaked out and nervous about today.

I'm back in the office and already failed. First my coffee tastes like sugared tar and I now remember why I never drank office coffee. Second I blew up the microwave trying to make oatmeal (or blew up the oatmeal I guess). No breakfast for me. Also real pants are for the birds. Can't wait to check out my supply closet pumping room soon!

Good luck pumping! Let us know how It goes

I hope everything goes well! I don't think they would do it if there wasn't a tie. The tie can really limit range of movement so I bet it's going to make a really big improvement for both of you!

DD1's fever was gone this morning so he took her to day care. But they called him later to say she's laying on the ground crying saying her tummy hurts. He was asking me if he should take her to the dr. I said for what, a sore tummy???

I'm wondering if she is acting up because I'm away. Any thoughts or suggestions???

[PikoPiko]

I posted in the Monday spam when I really should have posted here instead. Blame the sleep deprivation! Repeating it here...

Had a rough night, DS woke every hour after 2am. Now I'm really interested in the sleep sense program mentioned by some of you - can anyone give me a quick summary of what this programs entails? I'm really looking for something that isn't too much CIO cos I'm weak willed when it comes to LO crying.

boxerrrmama85 Caught up on yesterdays spam. Yikes! Hope you get some good rest today and get better soon!
michelle142 GL at the vet!
misshart00 Fx you can get the procedure done today. Keep us posted!
mmarie GL at the interview

My sister was supposed to come home today but is delayed. She was flying from Vegas to NY and then to Stockholm, but had to go down in Philly instead bc of a storm in NY. So the whole trip was side tracked and she was just tired and crying via text last night. Currently she's in Copenhagen so hopefully it won't be long 'till she can come home. She's been travelling in the US for 3 months so I'm looking forward to see her again!

[mommadozer]

badw0lf good luck pumping today.

misshart00 I love how kids remind us of the little things in life. I guess I better start saving up my phone books! hope the procedure goes well today.

michelle142 good luck with the pup.

aggiebug have fun at the zoo.

My spam: I have to re-build a massive spreadsheet today. I did it yesterday and it would only print blank pages. I just had to walk away from it and start fresh today.

[FlutterOfYoshis]

misshart00 I had the same fear it would do nothing, but within the week I was able to nurse DD again without searing pain because her tongue was able to move properly. I hope it's the same for you!

My spam is that I'm also sleepy. We're working on getting DD to sleep outside of her swing. First step is getting her to sleep in it while it's still--it's working, but she's only sleeping in 2 hour chunks. So tempting to just turn it on and be able to sleep through the night again. I'm also trying to get her to nap in her crib. It works only as long as her pacifier stays in place, then she's awake and ready to nurse...and proceeds to fall asleep on me instead. I've been allowing it so she at least sleeps at length somewhere so she's not cranky all day, but man, this learning process is going to take a while.

[mrsclark731]

Morning!

I've been glued to Photoshop this morning trying to catch up on orders while DD took a glorious 2 hour nap. She napped for three 15 minute spans yesterday... That was it. It put me so behind on everything!

Trying to successfully switch from RNP to crib we ordered a sleep suit today. I'm pumped about that.

My dogs both need their yearly check ups at the vet. They are almost 6 months overdue. They are up to date on all their shots...just haven't had the time to take them in for the routine check up. I feel like a bad dog mom.

H and I also have to call 'the priest' back today. Long story short--I was baptized Russian Orthodox, my mom and dad were married Orthodox, but growing up I went to Catholic Church (there were no Orthodox churches close by). H is Lutherian baptized and confirmed but neither of us have been to church in our adult lives. I want her baptized... So we are trying to get it done in my grandparents Russian church where I was baptized. I'm stressed.


Edit--words

[dacora]

So my fellow introverts might understand why I feel proud of myself for this:

We stopped having our lawn done in an effort to save money with extra baby expenses, but DH has been really missing not having to do the yard. Well, we have a team that does the houses on either side of us and they've had to go around us. I joked the other day about going out to talk to them and seeing if I could get them to do ours too to make their lives easier. DH loved the idea and was kinda sad when I said I was just joking.

So today (they're here on tuesdays) I went outside and talked to them and cut them a check to start doing our yard. I'm kind of proud of myself for going out of the house, talking to a bunch of strangers (I'm bad at approaching people, especially while they're busy) and getting something nice taken care of for DH.

Sorry you had a rough night!

The sleep sense training is a CIO so it may not be the best thing for you. It's basically CIO with checks but there is an option to stay in the room with them. The book does talk about the first steps of training from 0 to 3 months where there is no real CIO intention. If you search online for the PDF you may be able to find it. You may prefer something like the sleep lady shuffle. That being said, most sleep training has some amount of CIO.

Look into the Sleep Lady Shuffle. Minimal CIO involved.

dacora so proud of you for the lawn! I completely understand from one introvert to another

Yes! No problems and I was able to get sleep myself. Thanks for asking!

[GeekBeagle]

michelle142 Hope all goes well with your pup!

[misshart00]

Done. My baby now looks at me like "what did you let them do?!" Now he's passed out. I hope he'll take a bottle, etc. now.

[misshart00]

Now he won't eat at all. Ugh. It's going to be a long day.
