Teaching fourth grade science today. They're observing fiddler crabs and dwarf frogs. Cool! Plus, this schedule works really well with pumping (11 am and 2:45 breaks). I have to stay until 4, though.

I'm getting my first cavity filled today... Pretty nervous. Half of my mouth is numb and I'm just sitting here waiting for the dentist. I'm nervous I'm going to choke on my own saliva.

Ahh, I'm dreading when I get my first cavity! DNW 1/2 numb mouth/needles/drills anywhere near me!

PSA- The Children's Place is all 40% off online with code EMAIL40 (it says no exclusions!)

Meal planning for October. Ugh. SO is buying me a new 8qt. Crock pot. So that's exciting!

[Flick]

@kej0004 I know exactly what you mean. SO and I are in our 20's as well and most of the time the sales people don't even bother. When we bought our car last year we had to walk into the place and ask to see the keys. It was like pulling teeth just to get them to look up our credit.

Babies are nice and all, but last night LBB came into the living room wearing nothing but a cowboy hat and started jumping on the couch shouting "Yee Haw! I'm a naked cowboy."

Yeah I got my first(second, third, And fourth) cavity while I was pregnant... Little calcium sucker! I have to say, that was awesome. I don't mind being numb. It's weird, but I can handle that. I thought that it was going to be super painful and terrible to get a cavity filled. Not at all!!!! I'm so impressed. I'm not dreading getting the other ones filled anymore. Modern medicine blows my fucking mind.

Woo! That gives me hope! I reallyyy need to schedule a cleaning post pregnancy and I'm scared about what they'll find...at least I'll know that cavity filling won't hurt;)

[erbear]

I had a root canal thanks to pregnancy. Thanks, baby!

[baytosa2013]

I have a dang cold and I feel like doing this and walking around work.

[pghtruelove]

I also had a root canal thanks to pregnancy. And I also got pregnancy gingivitis so my mouth is all jacked up. I have my final apt at the end of October and my d r said with this prescription mouthwash I should be all back to normal.

+1 for blaming the super moon for shitty sleep. I don't want to admit that this could be real life.

I got a book on baby led weaning yesterday so I'm excited to learn more about it. It kind of terrifies me but it just makes so much more sense.

[erbear]

Which book did you get, pghtruelove?

I found a book on baby food at Barnes and noble I want.

My kids are crazy. They were ALL up for all hours of the night last night. Damn super moon. That is all.

Oh is that why my students were so crazy yesterday! How did I not make the connection? I usually always know it's a full moon because of behavior.

Yea that supermoon sent in some bat shit crazy patients. Did. Not. Like.

Edited to ask pghtruelove to let us know about the book! I know very little abut baby led weaning but am curious about it

[carolyngrace]

You lucky ducks who have never had a cavity. I have a ton, and got SIX while I was pregnant. The dentist joked I should "be more like my husband" because he came in after two years and had non. That a-hole NEVER brushes his teeth! I was so mad.

I'm working a half day to fight off possible mastitis, on the orders of my midwife. Actually they said take the whole day off, but I can't do that, so off to work I go.

[carolyngrace]

Oh, also my MIL texted me asking if I want their mini-cooper last night. I said "would need some more info please" and she said she's getting an inheritance from her mom passing away and wants to give us 5k to put towards a new car, or her used mini-cooper.

WWYD? 5k towards something with all-wheel drive, or a mini-cooper with 90k miles on it?

I would personally take the down payment for the AWD. But I had my sights set on getting an SUV after selling my old car.

[alayne926]

I'm gonna go ahead and blame shitty sleep on my DH for letting DS take a nap until 5:15 lastnight...he FINALLY went to sleep at 10 o'clock lastnight.

5K for sure!  

I don't think a car seat would be very easy to get in and out of a mini-cooper

What's the trade in value of the mini?

Good call...maybe trading that sucker in would be more worth it than the 5K...or would she be pissed that you took the mini and traded it in?

I'd take the 5k...especially if you want more than one kid...Mini Cooper would be, well, mini. So getting car seats and kids in/out might be a pain. If you take the 5k you can put a nice down payment on something bigger, if not with a few less miles on it too!

[tjanca22]

I'd take all the cavities in the world right now. I'm getting 5 wisdom teeth pulled next week, ugh. How the hell do you end up with 5?

[billyhorrible]

I spent all morning thinking it was Wednesday.

It isn't.

[kemdupuis]

My in-laws just opened a joint facebook account are are sharing almost every single one of my posts. Needless to say, they are annoying the shit out of me. (Which they do anyway).

Also, I think I am getting my first PP cold. My throat is raw and I am dragging big time. I've tried to get a call into my LC to find out what meds I can take that won't hurt my supply. Suggestions? I am assuming menthol cough drops are a bad idea...

[Widget123]

carolyngrace, take the $5K or the trade in value of the mini cooper, whichever is greater. Mini coopers are wayyyyy too cramped inside. I can only imagine how much worse it would be with a car seat inside as PP mentioned.

@kej0004, I totally feel you about car salesmen judging you. I'm in my early 30's now, but when we were buying our SUV the guy kept on trying to convince us to get models that were cheaper and did not have the features we wanted. Um dude just because we are dressed in casual clothes and have two small kids doesn't mean we can't afford what we want.

No cough drops...I had a cold and took regular Tylenol and it seemed to help a bit...I don't think we can take much as far as decongestants and what not

[erbear]

Why are cough drops bad?

I just remember they were ok in pregnancy. I haven't read about nursing.

Last week my MIL texted me saying 'happy belated hump day! Sorry so late!' And I thought, it's only lunch it's not that late...ohh it's Thursday!

Pretty regular day here, but DD is definitely not sleeping as well either. I blamed the moon at first too but also hoping it's the 4 month regression...just to get it over with? Lol..I don't know if it works that way.

The menthol can cause a drop in supply. I didn't want to take the chance so I stayed away, but if I were more desperate I probably could have found some sort of drop that didn't use menthol...

[periwinkledaydreams]

Well hello ladies! I feel like Ive been gone forever after a super busy (fun!) weekend, and then I finally got my infected old root canal tooth pulled yesterday (not fun!) It was AWFUL I had 2 full panic attacks while in the chair, one while waiting for the dentist to start and one whilst he was in the middle of pulling the damn tooth, due to blacking out and having flashbacks to my traumatic c section and the anesthesia wearing off during surgery. Thrn the nurse had the nerve to chastise me telling me to be quiet or Ill scare the other patient... oh hell no! Wonderful fun!!!! Now Im formula feeding LO so I can take the codeine they gave me for pain and she hates it and its super grumpy, but I need it, at least right now. Ugh, dentists are sadists. What a terrible experience, but Im just glad that tooth is finally gone!

On a better note, we had an awesome day at the fair in Saturday! AW pic! Missed yall!
*poof*
