I'm going to go ahead and take M to the dr tomorrow. I am probably being crazy. He's not running a fever and the only "real" problem is that he just isn't acting like himself and he cries more than normal. Normally, I am a pretty rational person when it comes to sick kids.
This has been the worst day! Had a terrible sleep last night, went for lunch and H didn't put the stroller back in my trunk, so that made it tricky, plus B was acting up so I had to get it to go, almost ran out of gas on the way home, walk in the door and see one of my dogs ate another pacifier. Oh, and my hair won't stop falling out!!!
But H felt bad for me and brought me flowers, and took B to his grandparents for a couple hours so i could nap. I should be napping now.

The pediatrician told me yesterday that sometimes the first sign is your child not acting like themselves. And that you have to trust your instincts. I wouldn't have caught W's ear infection so early if I had waited around till he showed more signs (worse fever, fussiness, pulling on ears, etc). He just wasn't my normal baby so I called. Fx nothing is wrong.
ampaints, thanks they went well. One no show so need to reschedule. It was hard because it was 12 hours away from C. Good luck with your travels. I know it's not the ideal reason to travel but I hope you have a good visit.
To all of the with sick little ones or having rough days hugs. Sleepy dust for you to have a healing night.
I am ready for bed but need to pump because of schedule today it was difficult to get in 2 good sessions at work. Plus I need to get lunches packed and a workout in.
I didn't think it would take me so long to get us packed! I'm exhausted. M also decided to be up for the day at 3:30. I had been up a few times before that so H got up with him then. We're a tired house tonight.
I had my meeting with the professor that I will be a TA for next semester. I'll be taking 10 hours which is a good bit since I'll drop be working, but if I take those classes, one over the summer, and 3 in the fall I can graduate in the fall instead of next spring. I recognize that I might have to drop a class and still graduate in the spring, but I'm going to try. That would give me a semester off before starting graduate school (I hope!)
@missava387, you inspired me and I just went to a spinning class. Holy shit that hurts and sucks. But was so good! Sometimes I go to the gym and putt around on a few different machines but don't actually work out. But with spinning you always know your getting a good workout!
My food still sucks. I just can't stop eating when I'm home all day. I bought cheese strings thinking that it would help w portion control and I wouldn't eat half a block of cheese. Instead I had 5 cheese strings today and 2 grilled cheeses. Oy. I'm going to cancel weight watchers because I'm just not doing it and I'll try myfitness pal. No point in paying for something in not following!
Also I started composing that message and then had to stop and go have a shower and come back to it because I couldn't think of the word "inspire". I came up with impressed, expressed, promoted? I guess spinning really did take a lot out of me!
AW - Auri has been her normal self today, maybe a little fussier yesterday but otherwise normal. She felt warm on her back so I took her temp a few min ago - 99.4 under her arm which was the threshold to call the dr. Because of our insurance we were redirected to a nurse there. The nurse was obviously new and was clearly reading off of cards. She told us to just monitor and call the dr in the morning. I'm a FTM so nervous and don't like that the nurse was new.
99.4 isn't anything to excessively worry about right? It's just a low grade fever? I'm trying to make myself feel better. She isn't inconsolable, she's been nursing fine and cool to the touch on all places except her trunk.

Omg someone the other day said that their SO and them were going to watch Netflix and chill. Can't remember who but I remember being confused when they said that they really did just watch Netflix and chill. Apparently Netflix and chill has another meaning. Lolololol
TL:DR Huge fight with H because he doesn't do shit to help me.
H got off of work early and waited a few hours to pick up N from daycare so that he could "get stuff done". The only things that needed to be done were folding towels and doing dishes. I had asked him to do both of those things YESTERDAY when he was off and he didn't do it. I get home at 10, and guess what. Neither were done. Cue HUGE fight.
Apparently I'm mad all of the time, a slave driver, and a bitch. Cool. Maybe it's because he doesn't help me and doesn't get how hard it is to be a working mom. He gets to sleep at night. I work just as many hours as him and on my feet all day too. I get home and tend to the baby, wash my pump stuff, prepare bottles, get his stuff ready for daycare. Then wake up every two-three hours at night.
I get wanting down time. But I don't get any. Ever.
He didn't even take the trash to the curb this morning...
Jahekahebuchebwuhtnd is how I feel right now.
My mama told me to pick my battles and this is one. If it was up to him we'd live in a dump.
Gosh I missed everything today. Was running errands like a crazy lady today, then had a charity meeting.
AW kinda cool but buzzfeed is featuring my tweet in some kind of video apparently. For those of you who don't know I started a blog called SchmittsGiggles and anyway. Really I was just excited when The Blogess retweeted me.
Hope everyone gets restful nights and has a great Thursday

ady45 +1 for trusting your gut. That's how we noticed A's fontanel this time around.
layloo08 same here with the H wanting free time. I pump, feed, and work during the day. Then I make dinner, then pump, then clean up. So when he spends 20 minutes on his iPad in the morning instead if feeding her, it's more work for me. Boo.

I'm taking him in tomorrow. As of right now there's no fever and nothing to suggest it's urgent. I'm just glad my pedi can always get me in same day or next morning at the most. Sometimes I see other doctors in the practice, but they are all very good.

Mine is the same way. Love it.
And its always better to be overreacting than ignoring. Fx it's nothing.

I love it when people look at a baby and say oh, he's so little, and its purely because they haven't been around a baby in awhile that they have no idea on size. Some lady tried to tell me that her baby was bigger than C when she brought him home from the hospital...she's 50 something, so its probably been awhile...and I very politely said, oh, so you gave birth to a 15 pounder huh? Cue stunned look. Yep, thanks lady, but this 2 month old is just shy of 14 pounds. Thanks for playing.
And a funny for the evening...we were getting our sex on, and DH looks over and sees that baby woke up in his bouncer next to the bed and is intently staring at us. He couldn't continue after that. I died laughing.
Eliza is sleeping 8pm ish to 7am ish and it's totally disturbing (for her) to share a room nowadays. After watching her wrestle around a bit in the pack and play tonight, I carried her to her crib in the nursery where she fell asleep in exact one eighth of a second.
Omg someone the other day said that their SO and them were going to watch Netflix and chill. Can't remember who but I remember being confused when they said that they really did just watch Netflix and chill. Apparently Netflix and chill has another meaning. Lolololol
I just learned it meant something today too! DH was talking about how it was a code phrase...I was like whaaaa?!?!
