Not a great night here. It was compounded by my sheer exhaustion from a day of rugby in the searing heat and humidity. Today is coaching and training in unsettled weather.
G's newest trick is to pop up onto all fours like a bear crawl, but no forward movement yet.
I'm looking forward to buying some new tops this week largely because I'm feeling really good about my body for the first time in a little while.

All packed for our flight. Taking an extra bag to bring back all the stuff the grandparents will likely shower him with. Pedicure was ok. My feet feel a bit better.
Carpooling to work today. Hopefully after next Sunday I can have Sundays off for a bit. I miss taking V to church.
I don't remember if I mentioned here that DH had applied for full time, but tomorrow he should have confirmation of whether or not next pay period he'll have full time hours. I am excited for more money, but it was so nice having him around more. He was able to be with V so much more also.

pitdigger yay for feeling good about your body!! kartish money v free time is such a hard balance. FX for an easy transition if your H does go full time.
Just really loving the morning sickness and trying to do absolutely nothing today... except my H worked overtime, Charlotte won't take her nap, the dogs want to bark at anyone walking down the street, and I have 2 papers to write for school.

I apparently need to start bedtime earlier. DS is passed out 5 minutes into nursing and 20 minutes into the whole routine. Nice except I need him to eat from the other side too as it's full and I've been dealing with clogged ducts.

Rough night here too. DS did not want to go to sleep. Then he woke up around 12:30 and was up until around 4. He just kept whining, but didn't want or need anything. I kept going in there and rocking him, bouncing him, shushing, I nursed like 3 times, he had the paci, white noise, etc etc.
Finally at one point while I was swinging him around I thought I'd try singing. That seemed to work and his eyes started to close. I couldn't think of what else to sing so I started singing Christmas songs. It worked, though!
mels823 do not miss that! Feel better! I wish I could politely tell my childless friends that an appropriate visit is not 4+ hours. I realize the game is on but you need to leave.
ARGH that annoys me so much. And when they say 'Well he's not crying, I thought he'd be tired of us after an hour'. Yeh he's not crying now, wait till you leave and he realises how tired he is Then I can spend the rest of the day running after an overtired cranky baby instead of getting stuff done... which i couldn't do in the 4 hours you were here... Random rant over. I hear you.

mels823 hope your morning sickness eases up soon. Is C in a brace for her hip dysplasia now? Didn't her doc decide she needed one after all, or am I mixing that up? badw0lf maybe next time specify ahead of time that halftime means everyone goes home? kartish
lilyelayne, well, she was supposed to go into it on Friday but for some reason at the appointment the Doctor said they won't have the actual brace until this week... so we are still brace free for a few more nights. Totally dreading the brace going on.

Laid down to take a nap but had just fallen asleep when DS had a meltdown. He's been losing his mind at sleeptime the past few days & it's getting worse. No fever, no problems swallowing/eating/nursing, no issues lying on his back or sides to play - does that rule out ear infection? He's never had one so I don't know what to look for I guess. We had a virus a few weeks ago and he's had lingering nasal congestion that's finally clearing up...? Agh. He's 29.5 weeks so it's that not-a-leap leap per wonder weeks, but he's never been this way to this extreme. At night when I'm ragey that he's up every hour I've started telling myself he still hasn't been alive out of my body as long as he was in it, so I should CTFD and let him need me.

Hopefully she adjusts quickly. Does doc have an idea of how long she'll have to wear it? Or is it based on how she responds?

Today was just spent getting ready for the week and snuggling DS. Last night DH and I spent at a hotel in town to use up a gift certificate we got from the hotel we had out wedding reception at. We got the certificate as a one year gift from the hotel, and this was the last weekend we could use it because it expired next week on our 2 year anniversary. We thought that a night without DS would be filled with dinner, drinks and going out. We were wrong, we went to dinner but then just hung out at the hotel and we were asleep by 10:30 lol but having uninterrupted sleep was amazing!
