Taco Tuesday Spam

[RedGiant]

Good morning! (Beware the Kragle)

I've watched the Lego Movie recently. Can you tell?

Spam it here.

[cougarette]

I haven't seen the Lego movie yet. I keep meaning to. Actually, I haven't seen most of the popular kids movies/shows.

BUT I do like singing, "everything is awesome. Everything is cool when I'm hanging with mommy." So I usually know the songs from the movies.

[cougarette]

Poor DS didn't sleep well, even though he slept some what ttn.

About an hour after he fell asleep he must have had a nightmare or something. He just started wailing, but his eyes were still closed. Then when he did wake up to eat he would not go back down. I had to keep getting him up and rocking him. I would lay him back down and he'd start wimpering.

[pitdigger]

Horrible sleep over here. We're going to try the cooling again with different jammies.

In leg news, we're down to tenderness and dull ache with the occassional positional stabbing feeling. Bruising is up, swelling is still there, heat and redness are down. I'm potentially skipping the gym all this week because I want this to heal well.

[aggiebug]

Good morning! We love animated movies in this house, it's nice to have an excuse to see them now

Maybe I will go for a walk this morning and take D to swing in the little play ground in my neighborhood.

Of course the one day I wear a long sweater to work the AC is not working. Ughhh. Sweating.

Ugh! That stinks. (Maybe literally). We just got ours fixed yesterday. I was really glad.

Good morning!

I have not seen the LEGO movie.

DD STTN last night! I did not. Pollen is out of control here and my allergies are killing me. Zyrtec isn't doing its job at all.

[tortor4]

Good morning! I haven't seen the Lego movie either but I'd like to! I think DD may be getting over her cold because she STTN in her crib and I haven't heard her cough or sneeze yet this morning. Thank goodness! Just a couple errands to run today then I have to finish up laundry. I've been seriously slacking with it and I'm determined to get it all done today. Yuck.

[WittyLittle]

I too have yet to see the lego movie. I miss going to the cinema!

Our new high chair just arrived. I'm way too excited Just came back from a productive meeting with my promoter. Jake came along to the meeting and behaved pretty well. I think I'm getting this working mom thing slowly under control

oh bless! I'd have cried, I'm such a wimp! I wonder what they dream about. No more milk? Mobile broke? Shots?

[dmorgendorffer]

I've seen the LEGO movie at least twice.

I'm in the no sleep last night club too today. DD was up 3 times and every time I got her back to sleep and put her down she would pretend to sleep for just long enough for me to get back in bed and then start crying again. I got to work this morning and started Googling about night weaning - this seems about right: Night wean your baby in 50 simple steps

[cginge]

Aaah LO got a small (2x2 inch) area of small, raised red spots on his stomach after I gave him amoxicillin for his ear infection last night. Going to call the triage line when the office opens to see what to do. It didn't seem to bother him though at least. No real plans today but might make some zucchini bread or muffins, yum.

[mommadozer]

I finally watched the Lego movie over the weekend. Now I am singing the everything is awesome song.

Add me to the list of multiple wake ups. Something is up with DS. I am going to wake him in 10 minutes and see if he has any more red spots on him. Ugh. Crossing my fingers it is just bug bites and not chicken pox.

[kaydee0402]

Mhm. Tacos.

I've seen the Lego Movie. Super cute and funny!

Last night was a rough night of sleep at our house too. I don't know what Little Man's deal was but he fussed all evening. I put some Orajel on his gums and gave him a Mommy milk ice pop and that calmed him down. But he woke up three time last night. I want to blame teething, but we have yet to see anything pop through yet.

We have his six month appointment today and shots! fingers crossed that he doesn't get a fever or cry too much!

[Mom2Ms]

I guess I'm the a#€hole who didn't like the Lego movie....

Can we just talk for a minute of how insanely hung over I am? ITS TUESDAY. I'm hating my life right now. Yesterday my bosses boss, who used to be my direct boss and is one of my closest friends, retired yesterday. She was probably one of the greatest mentors I have ever had and made me the attorney I am today. Cue a beer and then half a bottle of wine. I bawled most of the night while on the phone with one of my best friends, who I also work with. Luckily I had made dinner and fed the family before getting white girl wasted & having melt downs of epic proportions. I'm really going to miss her at work. Things will never be the same without her there. Boo.

[mrsclark731]

DD STTN last night! Amen!

WittyLittle, what kind of high chair did you end up getting?

I have not seen the Lego movie yet--I'm sure I will at some point

Poor DS. Baby wimpers are heart wrenching.... Hope things get better!

[dmorgendorffer]

michelle142 have you tried using one of the allergy nasal sprays? I use Nasacort along with my Zyrtec when my allergies are bad and it makes a huge difference.

mumomma13 yay for taking a bottle!

kaydee0402 Good Luck with your 6 mo appt today!

[elsmom]

I love the Lego movie (and really anything animated/aimed at kids)!
We also had a terrible night of sleep...DD doesn't get up to eat at night but last night she was up crying every 2 hrs until we got her back to sleep...I blame poor napping (MIL watches her on Mondays while I work and doesn't seem to get that babies don't just put themselves to sleep when they need to nap. Therefore she is always under slept when I get home and Tuesday's at work are tough!)

[dreemkin]

At work today so haven't read through spam yet. Mine is that my husband started a new job yesterday so I wasn't on here much. Fingers crossed he likes it.

PS: I'm actually having (leftover) tacos tonight!

[hollydfromtn]

S just woke up from his morning nap super pumped about life. I love when he's like this! He's all smiley and chatty. He just crawled his way over to couch and jerked my blanket down while giggling. It makes all of the MOTN wake ups worth it when he gets like this.

I haven't tried nasal sprays recently. Last time I used Nasacort, I got instant nose bleeds everytime. Needless to say, I stopped using it.

michelle142 love tit for allergy commiseration. Mine are so much worse at this time of year than the fall. Also agree with dmorgendorffer and the nasal spray rec. It does help.

Mine have been awful all year. In May they were terrible. July they were terrible. And now they're terrible! I can't catch a break.

DD was the same last night. Supposedly we are 3 weeks out from our next leap where they "learn" nightmares but damn was she upset last night! No feedings, but just awake and needing soothing back to sleep multiple times. Not like her at all…

[danitaec]

Great, now I want tacos. Or, specifically, chicken chalupas from Taco Bell...

My husband starts his new job Thursday, so he's getting the joy of solo parenting today. He texted me that they were "running around", which would be his first solo excursion with the baby. I'm interested to hear how that goes.

As for me, I'm here at school. I'm liking this year except for kindergarten. They just... can't. After school I have a community band board meeting, then hoping to get home in time to see my baby in person and not on the monitor.

Have a great day, ladies!

[cloe111479]

We had a "nightmare" kind of wake up too. Right around 11pm, heard from crying. Went in. Dd never opened her eyes. Repositioned her near the middle, gave her a nuni, and patted her booty for a second, and bam, she turned on her stomach and was out within seconds.

After debating between 300 different types we ended up with the Chicco Polly Magic because that's the one they use at daycare and apparently he likes it. Now if I would have just asked them right away I could have saved myself nights of searching I wanted the Graco but they don't sell it here

[FlutterOfYoshis]

Now I totally want tacos.

The nightmare cries are so heartwrenching! The owwie cries are sad too. Had my first one of those last night when she got so tired that in her attempt to lean into me to snuggle, her head drooped too fast and she banged her mouth into her wheelie toy. She was fine but I had to grab one of the frozen teethers to numb/ distract her from some of the pain before she realized she was ok herself. Part of growing up, but the crying will always be tough to hear, I'm sure.

We are night weaning this weekend so when I saw your link I was like great but wait, why 50 steps?! Lol.

Oh, I also meant to ask was there a convertible car seat thread on here? I finally feel like it's time for us to start researching those.
