I got my second PP period today... Oh joy!!!! And I am almost out of female products.
hey, cycle buddy, I did too!
Funny story. DH is ridiculously frugal and his favorite pastime is stocking up on essentials when there's a sale. Way back in Jan 2013 he bought me 5 boxes of tampons. The next day we bought a pregnancy test and learned about DD1. I only had one period before conceiving DD2. So almost 3 years, 2 kids, and 1 move later we still have the same 5 boxes of tampons. I may never run out.
I'm not caught up but I think I found a job!! My last job pre-pregnancy would be happy to have me back... but it involves tobacco promotions in bars every night. Seeing as I don't drink or smoke anymore, it isn't the best fit. But in high school I was really involved in journalism... editor in chief of the newspaper & managing ed of yearbook. My teacher from then is going on maternity leave in January with her twins & she wants me to be the long-term sub for her classes! It would be more money than my promo job & I'd be my brother's teacher lol

What kind of phone is it? My note 2 bad a charging port issue and I guess it happens a lot in the galaxies. I just bought a battery charger and an extra battery. Problem solved and no cords.
Galaxy S5. I'm due for an upgrade but I might just go the battery route.
It's awesome. I actually have three because my friend had an old one so I always had an extra in case it does while I was out. Plus it holds a charge much longer. Plus plus china cheapie battery charger works just fine and came with an original Samsung battery off of ebay for like $15.

I should be cleaning and doing laundry and dishes but it's cold and rainy and there's a snuggle bug on me so I'm binge watching Say Yes To The Dress instead.
Stupid hurricane. I have to take in the patio table and chairs, but the screamy one has decided to nap in a warm ball on my chest. Only assholes wake sleeping babies.
Cereally. I have a screamy that does not want to nap so she's wrapped up all snug on me. And the dog has to go out. And it hasn't stopped raining since 2 days ago. And its cold. Waaaah.
Ooh the dog. I swear mine only wants to go out right after I start breastfeeding and wants to come in (and will continue barking) as soon as he gets a good latch or falls asleep.
Ontario just became one of two provinces that will now play for one cycle of IVF for people under the age of 43, regardless of sexual and gender orientation and family status. However they will not pay for the drugs associated which is still thousands of dollars.
This pregnant girl on my Facebook is complaining that OHIP will pay for IVF now but not for her to have a semi private room or the cost of a birth certificate that everyone has to pay. Eye roll.. I explained to her that that is comparing a few hundred dollars for convenience, to tens of thousands of dollars for people to achieve their dream of being a parent.
Cold and raining here, too. And it's my last day of maternity leave. T's been fussy today, so we're cuddling while I catch up on GoT. Trying to enjoy our last few minutes of peace before DH gets back from the dentist and the kids get home from school.

I have a very sleepy baby today! I'm hoping she stays sleepy tonight cause I haven't napped in preparation.
Thank goodness it's Friday. I'm leaving my daughter home with dad tomorrow and having lunch or dinner with some girl friends! I've only been away from her a couple times to run a quick errand or go to an appointment. This will be my first solo social outing since she's been born And I'm looking forward to it!
My phone decided to stop charging. Great. Looks like we are going to verizon after work before we pick up the little guy. I had an iphone for the longest time and switched to samsung for the past couple of years. Now I'm debating going back to iphone. WWYD?
I've had blackberry, Apple and android. Right now I have the Sony x3 and you will have to pry this phone from my cold dead hands! Love the operating system, you can get all the apple apps, AND it is waterproof!!! So if a tiny human tries to flush it, it's no big deal! Trust me, I tested it by taking it to the pool, zero issues! Love it!!!

I think step-FIL smoked on our patio (we are in an apt) while DH and I went to Home Depot. I'm pissed because we set out rules that there would be no smoking at all here and he'd have to go to the parking lot. And he'd have to change his clothes after smoking. He totally didn't. Luckily he hasn't held or been near Auri but I'm pissed. MIL made him take off his smoky sweatshirt and hung it up outside but he still reeks of smoke. Thank heavens they aren't staying with us and are going back home tomorrow.
I don't understand people. And I dont understand why DH can't say anything to his mom or stepdad. My family is so open about everything and honest to a fault. I haven't had a chance to talk to DH since coming home so I don't know if he realizes step FIL smoked here. Grrrr.
Today, despite a lack of sleep, is a much better day. DH gave in for chipotle, E has been happy, and i got a nap. Only one week of leave left. It's gone too fast. I am happy though that DH will be a work from home daddy.
Still waiting, trying to be patient, to hear about my potential job. Praying for a positive outcome so we can move closer to family!
DSHM13 what a bastard. Do you feel really uncomfortable confronting him about it? I think you are totally within your rights to be like "Hey dude you really couldn't have walked 100 ft?"
I worked out my schedule for going back to work: 4 days in the office for 8 hours, 2 from home and then Wednesday's off. That means we will only need a nanny one day a week since he'll be in daycare for 3. I hope I won't regret this schedule but I'm looking forward to an extra day a week with him.

A friend posted this on her facebook page and i find it extremely annoying.
This bothers me because it's crap daddy should be helping with and shouldn't need a "prize" to be motivated to do it. I guess it makes me appreciate my husband who rarely leaves the seat up, we tag team baths, he'll usually clean up kid vomit while I comfort freaked out kid. He'll clean the kitchen without me asking. Oh and he vacuums. Anyone else annoyed by this?

Very annoying. I wonder how pissed he is that she posted it on social media? My H is no where near perfect and I get annoyed at him but he cooks, dishes, trash, laundry, etc.

This doesn't annoy me it pisses me off!! I expect my husband to help out, he isn't always very good at it mind you, but I still expect it. And I sure as hell don't thank him for every little thing he does let alone build a reward chart for it because IT'S HIS RESPONSIBILITY TOO! No offense to you but your friend needs a reality check! Crap like this just makes people further buy into the fact that mom's are the primary domestic people and dad's 'help out' it's bullshit and sexist.

Exactly. I will sometimes thank H when does something out of the ordinary (like make the bed lol) or when he cooks a delicious dinner. we are partners and adults. Just do it.

runningmommy519 I really wonder who these husbands are whenever I see shit like this. grown adult men who need freaking chore stickers...makes me sick. And it's pathetic that most of the rewards are either sex or "here's a free pass because you are just so dumb."
I feel like that was kind of harsh but I'm too tired to phrase it nicely lol
