Whatcha thinking Thursday?

[aggiebug]

Thanks friends Its a "milestone" birthday too.

We had coffee and it was good. I know it was tough for her and like she said holding a conversation is incredibly difficult since her mind is abuzz with all these thoughts. So it was tough for her but she did it which is huge and it was good to see them both.

mishka29, lots of hugs that is really really tough. I am sorry you are struggling with sleep and I wish I had a magic answer for you. I hope you can get a repreive soon.

danitaec, I think mishka is wise, set ground rules and they can get supplies for their house. It is a good middle ground I think. It will give you a little more peace of mind and will make them commit to actually taking care of kiddo instead of just having him visit if that makes sense.

Still dealing with a sick baby. We're supposed to have a babysitter tomorrow. Hopefully he's feeling better and will take a bottle. DH has gotten him to take an ounce or two at a time, but no solids other than applesauce. I'm going to puree a banana with some formula to see if he'll take that and if it bulks things up. So gross.

This morning I had a bit of a breakdown. The MOTN feeding plus super early wake ups are really taking their toll. I'm beyond frustrated and I just don't understand why LO won't go back to waking up later even after a feed. I'm just really down about the whole thing today.

aggiebug hope you can get her out for a bit - you're right, it makes such a big difference.

Spent yesterday sorting through all of our pictures of DD picking out my favorites so I could put together some photo gifts for the grandparents. I ended up with 200 photos - that's not going to fit on a mug. I'm thinking I'll make calendars but between trying to finish the stocking I'm making for DD, transitioning everything at work, and other holiday business not sure when I'll have time to put it all together.

I just finished my parents' calendar this morning! I was half-joking to my sisters that I'll need to do a page-a-day one because there are too many good pics of our kids.

That is so frustrating, danitaec! I hope tomorrow goes well.

Happy birthday, aggiebug! I'm glad you were able to meet up with your friend. It is huge that she went. You're a great friend.

I've messed up my ankle. Fell asleep on the couch with my feet under me. DS wakes up crying and I try to get up to go to him. My feet are asleep so I fall down and need to crawl across the apartment to get my baby while my feet wake up.

Just a minor sprain. I can walk on it, but it hurts. Hopefully it'll be better in the morning.

I am such an idiot.

DH called to see if I could pick up DS. I got there, picked him up, got all the way out to my car, opened the door, and realized I left the car seat at home. Dammit! Luckily DH was able to leave what he's doing to come get us. Ugh. Guess it's time to switch to the convertible seat!

aggiebug happy birthday!

Happy birthday, aggiebug!

Got DS's 9 month photos yesterday and there are some really cute ones! Ordered Christmas cards today, it was hard choosing and I'm awful at decisions, so I did an office vote, lol.

Someone stole my credit card number yesterday and used it on a site that sells police equipment and uniforms. Oh, the irony. So my bank canceled the card. Well, I went to use my debit card to pay for the Christmas cards today and it got denied. Called the bank to see what was up and they said it was a safety measure because I never use the debit card. Ugh! But, I got that straightened out. Can't wait to get my new credit card.

[lilyelayne]

seamonster hope your ankle is better in the morning
GeekBeagle ordered our Christmas cards too! I've never sent any so I'm super excited.

We put the heating blanket on our bed last night. Tonight I'm gonna try to remember to turn it on when I get up for MOTN feeding so my bed is all snuggly warm when I get back.

hugs mishka29 I hope better times are right around the corner. Is there any way you can get a day of peace to recover from everything? It sounds like you've been robbed of your sleep for a long time now. Feel better soon!!!

Yes, January 11, 2016. When LO starts daycare. Right now I'm still nursing and she doesn't take a bottle so I continue to wait patiently (most of the time) until January 11 lol
