It's just after midnight and I'm still up, so I thought why not start it?
I just watched The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and it was hilarious. He made fun of New York's over exaggerating the snow (even after it seemed to amount to very little). He called it blizzappocolyseageddon. We have definitely been guilty of way over hyping a snow storm here in MN before, but generally of it turns out to be nothing more than normal the media exposure dies down.
I do hope everyone that lives out that way has been safe and warm, whether you got an inch or three feet. That's all that matters!
DD woke up at 2:20 and has not gone to sleep since then (it's 4:05 now). She's had a terrible time with the transition since we moved and I'm tired! We used to keep her door open slightly but now she's upstairs and we're on the main floor so we're not comfortable with that. I'm just sitting on the couch waiting for her to fall asleep so I can shut her door and go to bed. Every time I think she's asleep she stirs again...le sigh...

We moved DD to a big girl bed over the weekend and since then she has decided that she needs to get up at 1am for a "snack and dragons." She's not quite two years old, and has a limited vocabulary, but she knows that in the middle of the night, she needs to watch How to Train Your Dragon 2. I refuse to put her back in her crib so this phase will have to end soon, and in the mean time, I know all the words to the movie.
It's 1:30am and I'm up, I think my nerves are going since I have an ultrasound this evening to determine the sex. But we won't actually find out the sex till the 7th at our reveal. Really looking forward to finding out with all my family and friends. I'm hoping for a boy and a girl, DH is hoping for two boys to carry on the family name. but I keep having dreams that they find a triplet at the Us totally scary!!
TTC: 2/14 DX: w/PCOS:6/14 1st round of letrozole: 9/14- bust 2nd round of letrozole: 10/14- thought it was a bust BFP: 11/7/14 Discovered baby B (twins) 12/1/14
Up and wide awake. Probably because I was in bed by seven. I have no regrets I needed the sleep. I have a long day of doc appointments and I am so hungry I could eat anything put in front of me. Trying to get DH out of bed to take me to breakfast!!!!
I woke DH up thinking my alarm was his I had forgotten it's his short week and he's off. And the darn dog finally figured out how to get the treats out of his reward toy this morning.... By slamming it on the ground at 5am. He was home alone all day yesterday - why could he figure it out then and keep himself entertained?!?
I'm so excited for the HDBD thread! It's probably my favorite and I miiiiight just have to go start it. And figure out how to post from mobile (not the app.) It's the first week I can legitimately (almost) participate! After you post a pic just imagine me crying a few happy tears and high fiving you! I feel like a super proud mom "look at yall! So beautiful! *sniff*"

I went to bed at 7:30 so I could get up crazy early and work. I got 2.5 hours in and took an hour nap before getting my girls up for school. This is going to be a long day!
I have a big presentation for a leadership seminar today and tomorrow. Shouldn't be too hard- it's only 30 minutes each day- but I am dreading it!

After a horrid evening of throwing up multiple times (when will it ennnnnnd?!), I went to sleep to make it all end. DH finally got my Snoogle out of storage over the weekend, and we washed the cover yesterday, and... oh, wow, the instant joy and relief and comfort of sleeping in that thing... it's amazing! The back support! The support between my legs! And DH finally got his extra pillow back. Heaven. I love you, Snoogle.
DD and I are home again today due to Snowmageddon. DH has to go in to work -- I don't envy his trudging through (no doubt unshoveled) sidewalks of 26-30 inches of snow for a mile to get to the train. I'm also nervous about my day home with DD, given how awful I was feeling yesterday. Wish me luck!

I think I'm falling into Stockholm syndrome at work. I just know it has to happen, even if I have no motivation. Maybe it's my motivation coming back?
This whole week, I've been waking up before my alarm and just staying up. I just wish I could sleep until my alarm and feel refreshed. Since neither of those are going to happen, I just get up.
Also, weird dream!!! Bill Cosby was attacking me and my family (who were black in my dream even though we're white Hispanic) and I was trying to get them out of his fortress through some hedges. I start attacking Bill Cosby and trying to take him down so my family can get away and my dog shows up. And I'm like "get him, Davie!" And what does my dog do? The only reasonable thing, jumps on him, wagging his tail, and licking him. That sounds about right.
We finally got our lab settled into a nighttime routine and sleeping through the night and our older dog has decided it's his turn to be up and down all night. I swear they may be worse than some children (I know it's not really comparable, it just feels that way today)

My son decided 4 am was a great time to get up this morning. In his defense he has pink eye in both of his eyes and he needed he goop cleaned out but why couldn't he have gone back to sleep?! I'm glad I went to bed early but sad that I missed 90 more minutes of sleep. This has been a loooooong week. Where the hell is Saturday?!

I think all the good drivers gave their keys to the bad drivers and said "here, you drive." 4 accidents on my way to work?? There isn't even any snow or ice to blame it on!
The level of dumbassery on my way to work today was too much. Also no snow or ice, just dumbasses.

I also wish I could of stayed home today because I have an urge to wash all of our bedding, dust and super clean and all my energy is being wasted at work. Lame.

I'm hoping I can keep up with my yearly superbowl tradition. I get those lil smokies and wrap them in crescents to make mini pigs in a blanket. Hopefully my stomach cooperates because that actually sounds yummy

OMG now I want pigs in a blanket. I will have to do that too.

And I seriously am really lucky this morning though. DS decided to make a break for the front yard when we were loading into the car this morning. I had to run after him and there was melted snow in the garage and I slipped. I twinged my ankle just a tad but I'm alright. that could have been a lot worse.

Yum!! Those are so good, I can eat like 100 haha. The ones wrapped in bacon with brown sugar are really good too, they're like candy. Mmmmm.

I'm still feeling sick. Stupid sore throat got worse last night. Ugh. Just go away, sickness! I got stuff to do.
On the bright side, 17 weeks today! That feels so huge. Every week feels like a milestone. My PAIF brain hates waiting. A friend said she'd loan me her Doppler, but I think she forgot. Sad.

I'm pretty much over today. DD2 has been running a fever of 103-104 for the past two days (with no other symptoms, so either it's her double ear infection coming back, Roseola, or something nastier brewing), so I'm headed home to grab her and run to the pedi in 30 minutes. They'll probably run a flu test on her bc I'm pregnant, so that'll suck for her. :/ But, better to know than not, I guess.
Then, I get to turn right around and head out to my MFM for our scheduled cerclage follow-up.
And, then, somewhere in there, manage to stay on top of whatever is breaking loose in the office. I really wish DH had some flexibility at work to help carry some of the dr. appt weight with the kids. This is only going to get more and more difficult as we add #3 and as they enter preschool. Ugh.

Do we live in the same city? There were at least 3 accidents on my way to work, and on the radio they listed almost 10 throughout the city. We also have no logical reason like snow or ice or rain...
I went to bed at 7 last night and slept until 6 this morning. I felt like complete shit last night.
If my boss & his wife tell me that I have pregnancy brain one more time I'm going to go pregnancy nuts on them. I have 2 companies that I'm trying to take care of and if I forget to tell them one small thing it's all of a sudden pregnancy brain. Where the truth really is my boss told me not to bother him with the small things anymore and to take care of things myself, which is what I'm doing. GAH! About 6 months ago I was under some REAL stress here with just way too much to take care of for one person, and I voiced that I needed help. His wife started coming down to the office to help out and it was awesome. But now it's kind of falling back into how it used to be and I'm drowning in the amount of work that I have to do and they are breathing down my neck for me to get it done. I honestly love my job so much but it's stressing me out SO badly lately.
Also, my doctors office called me yesterday and asked me to call them back. They are closed today and I have an appointment tomorrow. I'm confused and trying not to freak out because I know it's probably nothing.
I didn't expect my random to turn into a rant. Oops!!
