E STTN again! She's never done it back to back nights, so that's pretty exciting. Maybe she can tell momma is in the middle of a shit storm at work and is giving me break.
We have our first All Staff meeting with our new org this morning so that should be interesting. They still haven't told us who the investor is that bought the company or given any info about the new product strategy so I'm feeling very uncertain about still being here. I think I'm going to have to come in tomorrow on my wfh day too, the company that used to own us cut off funds as of today and apparently that means they did not pay rent for the office space where I currently sit so we are all packing up and moving. At least the change in scenery will make it less depressing to come in and not see all the empty desks.

Gooooood morning! I woke up to poop everywhere this morning. The bright side is that it got me up, motivated, out of the house and to work on time
We're supposed to get storms from that hurricane this weekend, with the full effects starting on Monday at 2 a.m. The area we live in floods pretty badly, so they were discussing on the radio this morning shutting down the roads and bridges like they did with Sandy.
The downside is that if they do that, since my husband's job coordinates with FEMA and provides emergency relief, he might have to go in and/or get shipped off to wherever is hardest hit.
So fingers crossed they are blowing this out of proportion and it won't be that bad!
I feel like we're still recovering from DD's baptism this weekend. It went really well, considering her stranger anxiety. Somewhere in there she also managed to surprise us by cutting her 2 bottom teeth! She's having a miserable time adjusting to naps in her crib still though. She wants back in her rnp SOOOO badly.

DS slept last night!!
As we were getting him ready for bed DH and I were talking about whether it is from teething. I suggested maybe we give him some motrin in case he was uncomfortable the last few nights. I don't know if that was it or just a coincidence, but I'll take it.
When my alarm went off this morning I had a moment of panic wondering if he was still breathing since he didn't wake up all night. Of course I went in there and he had this congested sounding cough. Can the cougar house catch a break, please? I'll even take half of a break. Sheesh.
A friend of mine texted me at 5:30am to tell me she gave birth last night to a baby boy!! So, I am getting my butt in gear and sewing receiving blankets for her this a.m. while B naps. She wasn't due until the 4th so I was procrastinating. I will get these done and take them over this weekend and have me doe squish time! Eek!
I'm mildly jealous of DS' ability to bounce back from illnesses. He's playing with his toys and crawling around like nothing happened, and I'm here coughing up another half of a lung, dying a slow death with his daycare germs.
I can't work from home today. Need to have some face time with the management unit and Wednesdays are my worst days, I have 7 conf calls to run. I should start moving some to other days to save my sanity.
Anyone served pasta to their LO yet? What kind/brand? I'm looking for Pastina, but am unable to find them in grocery stores near me. Amazon sells them in bulk, crazy.
Gooooood morning! I woke up to poop everywhere this morning.
Speaking of poop everywhere, DD hadn't pooped in a few days. Until this morning, right after eating some sweet potato puree. Then she really filled her diaper! And while I started changing her, she arched her back lifting her hips, causing poop to get all up her back and on her onesie. While I handled that mess DS decided to take off his pants and put on rain boots.

Wow, crazy! I hope the all hands provide some answers and a plan for moving forward!
Well we had an awful night last night. He woke up at 3 in the morning. Worst wake up in a long time. V just screamed and screamed, didn't want to nurse, we changed him, that just made him more upset. No fever, he wasn't puliing st his ears or gums. He didn't want anything we tried.
So finally after trying this and that for soooo long,we turned on the hall light and put toys in his crib. Half an hour later he was ready to nurse and go to bed.

PikoPiko you can probably make pastina by running some spaghetti briefly through a food processor. I've given spaghetti, penne, spiral noodles. Spiral noodles seem to go over best. The penne just shredded.

So, you know, a typical morning
Happy Wednesday to us! Hope your day is a little less...poopy.

Oh no. That's awful. Sometimes I feel like I have to wake DS up a little more when he's screaming uncontrollably; like he doesn't realize he can wake up and he's home and it's okay.
Had a minor wreck on the way to school this morning. Thankfully I had already dropped off the baby. The lady behind me was "trying to change lanes" and bumper car-ed off the back end of my car. My shiny, still smells new car. She got a ticket for improper lane change, now I have to deal with insurance crap. When the cop was telling us about picking up the police report he said "Let's see, today's Monday..." and I had to remind him it's Wednesday. I guess we're all having one of those days!
Also, TTMA about coming off antidepressants. I've been weaning like the doctor said, but now my head feels loopy, almost like a seasick feeling. The nurse said it wasn't withdrawal-type symptoms because I was tapering, but I swear it is. It'll eventually go away, right? I was trying to put my theatre music in order (combining two books into one) and I couldn't do it because my brain wouldn't cooperate. It's a crappy feeling for sure.
I'm impressed you're even thinking about a run. I can never seem to motivate to exercise these days.
Question: do you run with your son in a jogging stroller, run on a treadmill or does someone watch him?
I either: go on runs with him in the jogging stroller, go to stroller strides classes with him in the jogging stroller or go to the y and he goes to the nursery. He loves being in the jogging stroller, though!
I'll have to try that! I just got a jogging stroller and I'm hoping she enjoys it like your son does. Today we are trying g out the child care at the Y. I'm not optimistic but we won't know until we try.

Happy Wednesday ladies! I need to get my butt in gear and do some cleaning, but I'm just going to sit here and watch MMCH instead. My mom is coming to spend the night Friday and the spare bed has become a storage pile.
Hate that everyone is having a tough day, although it makes me feel less alone. Think I might go w the Motrin tonight--Babygirl hasn't slept well in three nights with this second tooth coming in. Not screaming, just whiny and clingy and sad. I kept her in our bed last night because getting up over and over was less appealing than the crappy sleep I get when it's three of us. She decided the ONLY way she could sleep is with a nipple in her mouth. No, the pacifier would NOT suffice. Loss of suction = sobbing meltdown immediately resolved by returning her to the boob. Have I mentioned that I have *never* found a way to comfortably do side lying nursing? So basically the whole night was me lying miserably awake while she slept clamped to my breast. And then I'd drift off, only to be woken by the sounds of heartbreak. All. Night. DH seemed to be sleeping pretty soundly. The bastard. (I jest. Sorta.)
Someone is (finally) coming to look at our house this afternoon. Which means I spent the morning vacuuming and straightening up probably needlessly and was an hour late to work. And spilled coffee all down my front when I stepped off the elevator. Oh, and I forgot the 20 oz I pumped yesterday at the office. At least I left it in the fridge and not on my desk.
Screw this day. Hope hurricanes and car accidents and all the other Wednesday shite resolves peacefully. And that we ALL get a nap at some point. Amen.
I posted and ran! Silly me. Child is currently asleep on my chest. Please let her wake up in a better mood. This not know what you want so you cry at everything is tiresome.
LO and I went to a big toy sale in our area to stock up on Christmas presents for my nieces. Everything is super cheap which helps since there are 5 girls to buy for, not even including my own 2. Plus 2 of them have birthdays in jan and feb, which is the same as my girls, and another in dec. So it's a lot of gifts to get.
I just noticed that the ad beside my reply box is for amazon and a book about tidying up your house. Now even the internet is judging me and my messy house!
