What a wacky Wednesday

[songbirdsinging55]

zengal -I wish it was Friday lol

[songbirdsinging55]

We had a play date dinner with another couple who was in our birth class. They made sweet potato enchiladas. It was so yummy! I feel like a pregnancy cliche. I ate an entire jar of pickles and proceeded to drink the pickle juice. Lol it was amazing

zengal Yesterday's impromptu weight check was 16 lbs, 8 oz which puts her just a hair over 20th percentile. She was a smidge over 14 lbs at her 6 months wellness check.

Morning Internet friends!

songbirdsinging55 sweet potato enchiladas sound amazing! How are you feeling these days? I'm sure you are extra tired!
gldnbearz that's a great weight gain...I also can't remember what lo weighed at 6 months. It's always so fun seeing how big they have gotten at the appointments. I heard there are no shots at the 9 month one...not sure if that's right or not but that would be awesome

Last night was awful, lo slept in her crib until 3am (of course was up about 3 times) and then was wide awake. She finally fell back to sleep with her face snuggled in my boobs at about 4. I tried to move her back to her crib and she flipped so we just snuggled till I had to get up for work at 6....good thing I can only have a half cup of coffee or I have a wired baby who refuses to sleep.

Ok end of my sleep rant...sorry!

[songbirdsinging55]

gldnbearz - was everything ok? Did she have a doctor's appt?
zengal- oddly enough it did and it made me a little less queasy
kfaye- they gave me the recipe if you want me to post it. They were so good! Tired yes but much more nauseous. It's like each day something different works to help ease my stomach. Or nothing helps. Today is one of those days. That is frustrating with the coffee. I miss it alot.

songbirdsinging55 I would love the recipe!

I guess they are burritos lol not enchiladas

[gldnbearz]

songbirdsinging55 We took LO to see the after hours pediatrician last night b/c of lots more poops than usual. Fx it's just a stomach bug.

[kaimee27]

kfaye, fx for better sleep tonight!

songbirdsinging55, that's funny! Pickles do sound good though.

gldnbearz, it's so much fun to see how much they grow in such a small amount of time.

Our nap woes continue. I'm not sure DD ever did fall asleep for her nap today. She was quieter for a while, but she's still grumpy so I'm thinking she never actually slept. My mom is watching her tonight so DH and I can go on a date night and I hope she's not too cranky for her.

Waving on my commute home. Ridiculous day and still have an hour of work to do after bedtime.

Glad it is not anything serious. FX that LO feels better soon

[songbirdsinging55]

I just saw a friend with her LO in his carseat. I tried to politely fix her carseat mistakes and she brushed it off. The straps were twisted and the clip was on his belly. I tried explaining what could happen. She seemed super offended. Now I can't stop thinking about it. I might send her some articles. She may hate me but I just don't want anything to happen to the baby

Just a drive by. Read along but so slammed.

songbirdsinging55 I don't care how mad someone gets at me. I will always correct someone for incorrect car seat safety


I would also want to know if I'm doing something incorrectly.

[songbirdsinging55]

I sent her a long Facebook message and included some really good articles. I said that I would want to know if it was me. I also told her about thw woman who.lost her son and now dedicates her life to carseat safety. She said she will read them and that she didn't double check before she left and was glad that I saw it.

[kfaye]

songbirdsinging55 good for you for saying something. I would definitely want to know and you would feel bad if something happened and you didn't say anything

Just came back from the chiropractor. I'm a bit traumatized by the cracking but I feel better. I even made a follow up appt for tomorrow!

[MsNicole06]

Ladies I had a great first day despite my morning being off. DD woke up late, peed all over her changing table, wouldn't eat, and then cried when I went to leave daycare. It broke my heart because she's never cried when I've dropped her off before.

My class is really good and I'm so excited about this year. I'm trying to read along but I'm struggling keeping screen names straight.

[pixie523]

songbirdsinging55, when I was KU I loathed pickles! I was just reminiscing how much I miss the free reign to eat as much cereal as I wanted though. Damn those were the days! 


gldnbearz, how's LO's poops today? 


jax1182014, the cracking is a big reason i'm anti-chiropractic. It's just too much for me. 

Going to do my last bit of work and call it a day. I had a super duper stressful day but still stuck to my diet, for the most part. A few diet cokes found their way onto my desk, but I avoided free brownies and chips. HIGH FIVE ME! Tomorrow should be much better, hopefully with some actual internet time. It almost makes me miss pumping!

Doing a drive by and I really need to vent so I'm sorry in advance. I mentioned recently that I received a promotion, my boss announced it before he and I had a chance to talk about the additional responsibilities and the raise that should accompany it since its a significant promotion with a lot of new responsibilities. I met with him today and he outlined all of the expectations etc. then proceeded to tell me that he isn't giving me a raise in case I "fall on my face" (I am very well qualified for the position and I have no doubt I can excel in it) he can just demote me rather than fire me. I was blind sided by this as he has never had anything but positive things to say about me and my performance and he said he has no doubt I will be successful...we can possibly talk about a raise next year. I feel so taken advantage of and just plain disappointed. My H wants me to start looking for a new job but I love the project I'm working on and the organization. Plus I get to work from home a lot and have flexibility so I feel like maybe I should suck it up. To put it into perspective I now have 6 staff members reporting to me and Im on the same pay scale they are. I have been working for this promotion for a year and a half :-(

I have no idea what to do, I wish I could quit and be a SAHM but we can't afford that with our new house.

Thanks for listening, I needed to get that off my chest.

[songbirdsinging55]

Totally spaced on this. Isaac is 9 months today

[songbirdsinging55]

spikesmom -omg! You have every right to be frustrated. I would weigh the pros and cons. Do you feel that you can still work with this guy? I would have a hard time working with somebody so shady.
pixie523-high five!! Those brownies sound amazing.

[spikesmom]

zengal it was hugely disappointing, I am just shocked.

songbirdsinging55 I think I'm going to have a really hard time working with him now. I lost a lot of respect for him today and I definitely no longer trust him. I think I'm going to start looking for jobs I don't have to take the first one I get offered and hopefully I can find one that fits me.

Thanks for the support ladies, I am so glad I can "talk" to all of you

[MsNicole06]

spikesmom I would be so upset if I were you and would consider looking at what else is out there. You don't have to take anything else but it's always good to know options. Hugs dear.
