To all the teachers- ugh going in to school today to start making to do lists! Summer is going too fast! It's a new school and new preps for me though, so I gotta get in early.
NOOOOOO!! I DON'T WANNA GO TO SCHOOL!!!
ME NEITHER!!!! I swear us teachers are worse than the kids.
Heeeey! I guess I've been MIA for a while. Having 3 kids at home is hard, yo! They are back to school in about 18 days...not that anyone is counting.
Other than having a crazy busy summer, all is well over here. DD1 is fully recovered from her tonsil/adenoid surgery. She is in her first year of cheerleading and is loving it (but the schedule is very demanding. We're dealing.). DD2 is anxiously awaiting the start of preschool. DS is getting bigger by the hour. He's a fat and happy little man. No complaints here.
We're leaving for vacation on Friday. First big trip with DS. Wish us luck.
I hope you all have been well. I'll be spending the morning reading back and catching up. I hope to be around more, too!

DH and I went to the teacher store yesterday and spent money we shouldn't have, but I got some cute stuff for the room. That is the only thing I have in common with elementary teachers is that I love cute stuff for my room. DH got math posters for his. Ugh, that isn't a fun purchase.
I totally understand your feelings. I realized that I haven't really done anything to plan for next year. I will regret this in a few weeks.

Good luck on your to-do lists!
I'm with both of you: Little man and I went to the teacher store yesterday and spent way too much, and today I'm sitting at my desk punching out my cute new bulletin board letters instead of doing the actual planning I should be doing. Oh well, there's still time... right?!
Oh, and I have a baby-wearing question. We just broke out the Ergo 360 last night to try it on, get it adjusted to my body, etc. My little man seems to be swallowed up in it; in front carry he comes up just tall enough to slobber/drool all over the folded edge of it. Is my kid too small for the carrier still or am I doing something wrong? He's 25" at least and over 15#. Can someone better at this than me advise?

Lol DS drools all over it too.
Did you also re button the seat so the seat is more narrow?
Yep, although not the first time. I'm really starting to hate "instructions" that are nothing more than pictures. I NEED WORDS! I blame Ikea... The pictures help, but words explaining them are sometimes necessary!

misshart00, I just caught up on yesterday's spam. I'm so glad you are feeling better today.
I kind of had the opposite situation from you...DD was in the NICU for 2 days and I was petrified I wouldn't be able to breast feed. I did, for 3 months, before she started rejecting me and only wanting the bottle. I was heartbroken and the thought of her being hungry because she wouldn't take my boob was the worst feeling ever. I cried for 3 days.... You are much better off than me already Hang in there!

Ugh. Trying to enjoy my lunch with my iPad and monitor on the deck when the turkeys decided to come out. Cue my dogs. My Great Pyrenees is the instigator and tells my big boy Doodle to hop the fence. Despite me yelling like a crazy women he hopped the fence and took off after them. He came back, but so much for my relaxing lunch.

Ps. What kind of bottles have you been trying?
Um, all of them. Lol.
I honestly think my big fear is that with DD, I dried up at 6 months. Fine. Not a problem. She took any bottle with anything in it. But I'm afraid I'll dry up again and have no way to feed my kid. DD had an NG tube for 2 weeks (unrelated to bottle issues) so I can do it. But I'm still afraid.

Well here's a live update on my vagina (a sentence I never EVER thought I would say). It is scar tissue, and it will need to be surgically removed. Gulp! I've been referred to the hospital obgyn but i have to decide whether to get the procedure done now, or wait until I'm done having children. On the one hand, sex is very painful so making these babies without the procsdure will be far less enjoyable. On the other hand, they might have to redo it if i have more kids. On the mutant 3rd hand, how do i really know im done? What if we change our minds? I was expecting them to say "you're fine, stop being a wimp, use lots of lube and have lots of sex to stretch it out" so wasn't expecting to have to make this choice!. Wwyd F15?

I am so glad you went and have an answer. I would get it done now. Maybe you have to do it again in the future but it's a problem now and you don't know about later and is there a serious risk if you have to have it done again? I am guessing not.
WittyLittle I'm with aggiebug Andplusalso while your waiting for the next or deciding if there will be a next, sex with your husband should be enjoyable at all times. I would personally hate it if I was in pain and therefore did not want to have sex with him.

I think I would go ahead and have it done. Be done with it and if it comes back, then deal with it then.

Get it removed. You can't be in pain like that until you decide you guys are 'done.' I'd take my chances of having to go through it again after your next baby.

thanks guys, you're right. Assuming the obgyn doesn't have a different opinion about what we should do, I should go ahead with the procedure now rather than later. I'm not sure how invasive it is because they have to be inside and they need to cut out the bad tissue and stitch up the good tissue very carefully so that it doesn't re-scar. But i assume/hope they can still just do it under local or give me that epi they couldn't give me during labor THEY OWE ME hehehe! In the mean time I'm just really glad it's nothing serious!!!
Hoping husband gets a move on. We have our financial guy coming to our house at 5 to go over our retirement (well, his retirement) and investments. Dh got stuck with a patient question when leaving work. The thought of small talk makes my stomach turn, so I'm hoping he makes it here quickly and before the financial guy!

Ugh. The gym just sent out a schedule for their group classes. They emailed it to all of their members. How do I know? Because they put all of our emails in the To: section, so they're all visible. Hundreds of email addresses. It's 2015; how have businesses not figured out BCC?
