It's Tuesday but it's like a Monday. Does that make it better or worse?

[aggiebug]

Good morning. We got back last night from our jaunt to Canada. We had a great time and DD was a champ. An absolute champ.

The trip was fun, saw a lot.

miniwheat and mishka29 we did ROM, the quay, the baseball game. We also tried to eat at saving grace but they opened 30 minutes late and we didn't have time before the game to wait, but we happened on a different place and omg amazing. I wanted to try all the food.

DH and I are going out of town Friday so today is kind of like Monday and Wednesday.

He's going in today, but I said he should take a sick day until he feels 100%. If he had a desk job I wouldn't be as worried, but he's driving around and in the heat all day.

DS threw up again last night. He didn't throw up during the day, but I also didn't give him the morning dose. I know nausea and vomiting are normal side effects, but it's so worrisome. I also don't want him vomiting at daycare. I think I'll skip this morning's dose and shift the time I give him the meds up a little. So maybe he'll vomit here before we go instead.

Morning! What busy weekend!

DD slept like crap last night. She has been doing so well lately, then this. I think I need to start incorporating a little prune every day now that we are doing solids twice a day. I think her belly hurt

My marathon of work is continuing with no end in sight. This will be my best hurricane season ever.

Morning.

I think it makes it much better it's like Monday, but a shorter week.

WWYD-
I'm in a pickle.
The place where I am having my wedding is having a wedding the day before mine (Friday) so I'm unable to have the rehearsal there. The wedding coordinator said I could do it any other day BUT I don't want to make anyone from my wedding party come up to do a rehearsal on a weekday after work. I'm thinking 1) I could just do it somewhere else to go through the motions 2)do a quick run through at the place before the actual guests arrive since we will be there taking pictures 3) not do the rehearsal at all because the wedding coordinator will be in charge in the day of. If I don't have a rehearsal at all, should I organize a "rehearsal" dinner??

The wedding coordinator didn't even tell me that I couldn't do it there until a couple days ago when we were emailing and I asked what time we could do it.

[lilyelayne]

aggiebug glad you had a good trip!
cougarette hope your guys are back to 100% before Friday
mrsclark731 yay business is booming!
toadandbuggie I think it depends on how complicated your ceremony is. My sister's first wedding was the wedding party enters, bride & groom say a few vows, the wedding party leaves. The rehearsal was unnecessary; her MOH missed it without problem. I had a short mass & no one else in my wedding party was Lutheran, so rehearsal helped DH's sisters know where to go to read Scripture, helped DH & I practice when to stand and kneel, etc. If it's a simple ceremony that the wedding coordinator can cue, I'd probably just go over one day the week before with whatever part of your wedding party is in town. Just to make sure there's no unexpected hurdles! And then whoever isn't it town can get pointers during pictures.
I liked the rehearsal dinner to be able to chat with out of town family members. And it's an exciting we're getting married tomorrow party.
Eta: we had 6 people in our wedding party & ~30 at the rehearsal dinner.

Dd went to bed last night with no issue. When she woke up at 8:30,she was all stuffy and cranky. Her little cry even sounded hoarse like her throat was sore or something. We gave her some Tylenol because she was just so unhappy. She would not go back to sleep. She was exhausted but fighting it constantly. We broke out the swing, I tried the pack and play --nothing. So I put her in the car seat and drove around. It took 20 mins but worked. She was back in bed by 11:30, then woke at 2 and 4:15. Dh woke up with her at 4:15 and took her to his lazy boy. They are still sleeping there. My parents were already coming to watch her today since her sitter is closed so at least there is that but I'm so freaking tired. Works going to suck.

We had such a busy labor day weekend. E did great on the plane rides with the exception of one in flight poopy diaper. I sent her with DH to change her and there was no changing table in the restroom so he had to improvise. She was not pleased. This child also refuses to sleep in a hotel and woke up the first morning super congested.

After we took DD to meet great grandmother and one of DH's aunts we headed back to Pittsburgh and took her to the zoo where we ended up getting caught in a downpour and going back to the hotel soaking wet. Sunday flight back home (she did awesome again), and yesterday we drove up to CT and we went in the pool at my parents house. Now I need a day off.

My child woke us up every morning at 7 all weekend. This morning at 7 am when it was time to get up for daycare, he's sleeping like a log. What the what?

It's going to be a busy day here. I should get started on my work but I just can't get motivated.

Starbucks released Pumpkin Spice Latte today. Anyone venturing out for one?

[dmorgendorffer]

toadandbuggie we did our rehearsal the evening before the wedding and honestly next day at the wedding I still had no idea what I was doing. I do think a quick run through for your wedding party the day of would be a good idea just so they know where to sit / stand and anyone doing a reading also knows what they need to do. One of my uncles that did a reading for us and didn't make it to the rehearsal, the coordinator just filled him in right before the ceremony and it worked out fine.

[mishka29]

Everyone is sick with a cold here. DD1 woke up crying 5 times last night. When I would ask her what was wrong she'd say I want to sleep.

DH woke me from a dead to sleep to show me his alarm clock which he thought was the monitor and to tell me it was broken. Annoying but funny.

Night 3 of weaning. We made it to 6:40. There were 3 small wake ups - 1 being the usual wakeup and the other two being the 'time to get up yet?'.

Good morning! Sounds like everyone had a fun but busy weekend! Hope everyone who is under the weather starts to feel better. Nothing much planned for today. Just cleaning and laundry (it feels like that's all I ever do!) and maybe a trip to the store later. We're going to have a family date night tomorrow night so I'm really looking forward to that.

No pumpkin spice latte for me either! Not a huge fan of pumpkin flavored anything.

[michelle142]

Flash flooding in my area today. Yikes.

I need to get to the store to pick up paint samples, but I don't want to drive in the ridiculous rain.

[kartish]

toadandbuggie the rehearsal was a must for me, since I wanted everyone to know who they were walking with and trying out who all could walk at the same time and get the cues. Can you do it the day before in the morning? Either that or a quick run through the day of.

Home today! Taking V to the library this morning and then cleaning and getting ready for my dad to come. He pushed it off by another day or two. All I have to say is he better not flake out on me!

Somebody, please hold me!

Awwwwww. Big hugs!

It's "Salad Dressing Week" at school, and today is Thousand Island day. A lot of the other teachers are wearing cute (short) flowery dresses and sandals; I'm rocking my fat jeans and a Goodwill-thrifted Hawaiian shirt. I think they're doing it wrong!

[aggiebug]

danitaec,salad dressing week? wha? that is an odd theme

[cougarette]

PikoPiko He will do great! It does get better.

FFTC: there are many days I'm glad I'm dropping him off and can get "time to myself" at work. Today is one of those days.

Edited because today is Tuesday, not Monday. Yippee!

[lilyelayne]

PikoPiko hugs! You can both do this!

Isn't miniwheat's daughter starting preschool today? If so hope everything goes well!

[lilyelayne]

In case you're having a bad day, at least it's not this bad: bethwoolsey.com/2015/01/the-day-i-pooped-my-closet/

Dropped off DS with DH. It was around his nap time when we dropped him off, so we put him in his crib, he was just hanging out in it. When we left, I was like a crazy woman going into the bushes outside the building to take a peek. He was looking around everywhere, almost spotted me. I hope he's able to nap with all that noise and people around. He prob would wake up crying his heart out when he realizes we're not around to pick him up. Now I'm at the office and can't stop thinking about him. 3 more hours then I'll go pick him up. Only half days this week.

[dmorgendorffer]

PikoPiko DH drops DD at daycare but if I did it I would totally be a crazy bush trampling lady trying to get a glimpse. For the first two weeks I called everyday at lunch time to see how she was doing but the updates were pretty much always the same.

There will definitely be an adjustment period, I was really worried about DD napping there and it took a couple weeks but she does pretty well now. Sometimes another kid does wake her up and they tell us she is pretty grumpy about it when that happens. He'll get the hang of it!

Good luck mama!  I know how rough the first day can be...though I think I cried more than my baby. 

[FlutterOfYoshis]

aggiebug, dmorgendorffer,Glad you guys had great trips!
cougarette, cloe111479, mishka29, Hope everyone starts feeling better soon!
mrsclark731,DD has daily pears for the same reason. Constipation is no fun--been there and hope to not see it again for a long time.
PikoPiko,Hugs! Sorry the transition feels so tough!
toadandbuggie,That totally sucks. I'd rehearse somewhere, since I think it'd put people's minds at ease about what they're supposed to do on the big day even if it isn't in the wedding space itself. I think doing it in the space on the morning of the wedding would be too stressful.
danitaec,The salad dressing thing sounds weird but kinda fun! I'd imagine other days would be Ranch? Italian?

[FlutterOfYoshis]

Good news from DD's weight checkup today: she's working her way back up to the curve she was on before her weight drop! My breastmilk supply is definitely in better shape, so we've been ok'ed to go back down to 2 per day solids, but now we know what to do if we see these same signs again. DD also figured out how to work a straw this morning! The doc also said since she's a round little one, she's not likely to figure out how to go from laying to sitting up on her own soon, but she likely WILL figure out sitting up to standing next. "Baby-proof now!" the doc says. lol

[cougarette]

Great news, FlutterOfYoshis

[danitaec]

FlutterOfYoshis, aggiebug,
Tuesday: 1000 Island (Hawaiian)
Wednesday: Bleu Cheese (wear blue)
Thursday: Ranch (Cowboy/cowgirl)
Friday: House (school spirit shirts)

It is most definitely a weird thing, but it's elementary school, so we're always down for dressing up!

[aggiebug]

Today is one of those days where I have done next to nothing all day and I am going to scramble in 30 minutes before H gets home to make it look like I have been at least semi productive. I wonder if he sees through my schemes or I really deceive him. hmmm



eta not that it actually matters, H really wouldn't care as long as we eat.  So I guess I am trying to deceive myself ha. 

[WittyLittle]

Oh PikoPiko i remember that well! You did well! I admit it, i cried. ..
