The exterminator showed up an hour early. I was still in my pajamas with no bra and make up under my eyes. DD had a poopy diaper and I was just starting to vacuum the house. There is dog and cat hair everywhere and DD is still in her onesie covered in dried breakfast. I'm pretty sure the exterminator will call CPS on me.
We were supposed to close on our house and finally be living together again on Friday but it looks like it's going to be delayed!!! I'm going nuts! I just want my family back!
I'm never going to have this baby!!!! Today's check up was fine so I'm thankful everyone is healthy, but baby looks very content to stay where he is. Yeesh. Keep my DH in prayer-- he's already had to console a crying wife a couple times today.
The upside of the appointment today was seeing him on the sono (to check AFI). He was so cute and chubby and was making kissy faces at us. We can't wait to meet him!!

We caught colds and DD1 spent the whole weekend with a fever. Not only did her high fever freak us out a few times, but it threw off our whole weekend- how is it Monday?
We got hardly any sleep.
It's about three weeks until moving day and we still have so much to do.
I haven't gotten more than 5 hrs of sleep a night for the past week. DS wasn't sleeping because he was sick but now he's starting to get better and is still waking up miserable and refusing to go back to sleep in the middle of the night. And it always starts as soon as I lay down to sleep. Feeling like a zombie lately.
A/C broke in our house saturday afternoon. I didn't get home from work till about 7pm and DH hadn't noticed it before apparently. (To be fair, we went out to eat so maybe it was cooler before that.) This is the hottest weekend of the year. Supposed to be 102 today. FML.
So when I saw the A/C was broken, I told DH we either needed to get portable units or go to a hotel or my parents or something. So he went and got us 2 portable units at Lowe's. The one he installed in LO's room never cooled it down before 81 (poor baby). The one in the master bedroom got down to about 79. So Saturday night was spent with 2 adults, 1 baby, and 2 dogs in one bedroom. Not much sleep was had.
DH returned the one unit sunday and got a different one and installed it. It sort of worked but that side of the house kept tripping the breakers. DH got that sorted, then the master bedroom one started tripping repeatedly. After continuous trippings and the temps getting to 84 in the master bedroom, at 6:30 Sunday night DH said maybe LO and I had better stay with my parents.
That led to me having to throw bags together quickly like I was fleeing a natural disaster (I guess we kind of were.) LO was fussing the whole time and DH kept slowing down with helping us because he was trying to watch a movie. Then he got frustrated when I asked him to watch LO while I went to the super hot baby room to gather his stuff.
A/C guys are supposed to come out this afternoon. I hope they can fix it, or I'll be going back to my parents again. Erg. I haven't had a good night of sleep in ages it seems.

Two more.
That feeling your nips get when your LO is about to get another tooth. Ow, ow, ow.
And I went into the basement to check something and found a medium-ish puddle near the furnace. I'm no expert but I'm guessing that's not normal/good. I texted DH and all he said back was "conference call" so...

All I have is Monday can suck it. Ds1 is being horrible today, ds2 won't nap, it's humid as fuck so my hair is a mess. Oh and dh is on nights so I'm alone. Sorry Monday suck for you ladies, wish we were all closer so we could drink Monday away!

Wtf did I agree to watch my neighbors kids starting at 5am all week. I'm remembering how much working sucks. I will always do it because I like helping people but that early is for the birds
Oh yeah, I forgot that I also pinched the meat of my left hand when I was setting up LO's pack n play at my parent's house last night. I now have a giant blood blister in the middle of my hand. I've been considering telling people I may have the Plague if I get asked about it.

I want to be back at the beach. Also, I expected to ovulate last week based on prior months (though I know technically that means nothing). No confirmation based on temps, though. Missed one day because vacation, then the next 2 days it was up and day 3, low again. Decided not to bother temping after that, but now I have no idea when to expect my period or if this is going to end up being an anovulatory cycle (2nd one in 3 cycles) or just a delayed ovulation. We aren't trying until the new year because of the scheduled lasik, but I'd at least like to know when to expect my period.
I forgot to give the cashier my coupons at the grocery store. It was enough to be annoyed but not enough to drag both kids back there to get money back.
Also this kid's poops smell rank today. I don't know what he ate that's making them this bad but yuck.
2013 was the last time I was really good about clean eating/working out too, littlemissmarla. I give a lot of props to you ladies who find time to workout right now! Ain't happening in my house. Some day...
I worked out today for the first time in months and NEVER in my life have I been sore in the middle of the workout.. it's usually the day after.
I'm so weak, 2013 was the top of my fitness/clean lifestyle and I need to get back there.
2013 was for me too. I just started back on MFP to count calories, I'm waiting until after our move to really start working out again. I am so out of shape though, I feel very weak physically. Kudos to you for starting back, best wishes!

Yea, I've got a healthy 70lbs to lose. I gained 30 during fertility treatments/IVF and the other 40 during pregnancy. What's crazy though is I have stayed within 3lbs since DD has been born. It's like the pounds don't want to leave. I also was pescetarian prior to getting pregnant and I'm really trying to go back to that, my body does so much better without meat.
....but the meat is so tasty haha. No but really trying this time. Zoey is my motivation because I need to set a good example for her, so I will sit here and eat my microwave apple with cinnamon (which is really good BTW).
Also, water is such a struggle for me. I don't drink anything but water or my 1 cup of coffee but if I don't actively force myself to drink water, I just wont. I can go a whole day with just my morning cup of coffee and a few sips of water with meals. Why am I not thirsty loll.

Before getting KU this time I was using isagenxics. I lost 14lbs in 30 days. I felt great and had so much energy. I was walking 2+ miles a day. They have yummy shakes that I'm hopefully going to get the OK from my Dr about being able to drink while pregnant.

Good job on working out littlemissmarla! What did you do? I got on the bike today after 3 days off and I almost died. I would like to add yoga into my exercise routine but trying to do that with 2 kids climbing on me sounds like torture.
