Happy Groundhog Day! This morning I got into the shower still wearing underwear and then put shampoo on my loofah thing rather than body wash; I have no idea what I was doing. Clearly I need more sleep.
We're supposed to get a few inches of snow today but then it's supposed to turn to rain. Of course this is just in time for the commute home. I'm sure I'll cut out early from work today.
LO reverted back to 4 wake ups last night. She finished up the night in bed with us, randomly sticking her fingers in my nose. I'm suspicious she's getting a cold. On a random note: I'm at work and I'm fantasizing about pie. Don't ask me why.

I am hoping to have an easier day than yesterday. I got a haircut on Sunday, and I don't really like it, and I think that threw me all off yesterday... it's dumb, I know. But I forgot to send a sleep sack with baby to the nanny's, and I forgot my pump parts at home, so I had to go out really quickly before my full day of meetings started, it was a real pain.

DH has a work trip to Houston next week, so LO and I are tagging along. We'll have to entertain ourselves while he works all day, but I'm excited to go on a little trip and reunite with some friends that live there. And not wear a winter coat.
DD1 will be staying home with her grandparents and I'm feeling pretty guilty about it but I know that she would much rather be there... and it saves us a $400 flight!
Guise...i found the secret to sleeping babies. Pizza crust. No joke. The past 2 times I have let M have a pizza crust for dinner she has slept 6:30pm - 7am. Normally she is up at 4/5am.

It has to be the pizza crust right?

I had no idea that was today. We'll have to watch the movie tonight to... celebrate? Love Bill Murray.
OMG....the doctor that I work with brought her brother with her to work since she has to take him to the airport in a little bit and he's SO cute! I love DH and would never leave him, but...if I was single....
She just died on Friday at the ripe old age of 5. The best part is her replacement...
A hand puppet. My children were very confused watching a puppet predict weather this morning. I choose to believe it has special powers though, because it predicted an early spring.
I love Phil:) I remember going to see him a bunch as a kid also. My mom was a second grade teacher and she use to make us "Dirt Cups" with Phil on a Popsicle stick every year for groundhogs day. It always makes me happy to think about that.
I've been in DC with terrible stomach problems. I don't have the virus(I really hope I don't get that) but I've been having extreme stomach pain do to reflux. I'm having an endoscopy done a week from today and hopefully I can get this fixed. I can't do anything. I spent yesterday in the ER. Other than that I'm laying in bed at the hotel. This sucks!
That's awesome. We do nothing of the sort for Groundhog's Day. Maybe because we're on the other side of the country? I honestly don't know if I'd know what it was if it wasn't for the movie.
Anyone traveling soon-ish to the Caribbean? What are your thoughts on the Zika virus?
My best friend is getting married in St. Marten in August and her sister is telling her to cancel. She heard some [nonsense] I don't know where that you can't get pregnant for 2 years afterward, which in no logical way can be true.
All I've heard is that you should not go if TTC or pregnant. Also, her little sister has crohns so she is saying Zika can affect those with a low immune system, too. Anyone have thoughts? I'm not too worried.
Some South American countries are "banning" pregnancy for the next 2 years. Maybe that's where she got that information?
Considering many of those countries don't support birth control measures for religious reasons...banning pregnancy and not offering women any measures for preventative care seems pretty horrible.

Probably. But, I still think it's premature to call off her wedding that's 7 months away. I doubt she could get her deposit back even.
morning ladies. I've been MIA for a few days since LO got a nasty cold and then so sweetly shared with me. Still not feeling awesome, but in my office none the less.
In regards to Zika, it scares me. It scares me a lot. We've already had a 12 year old girl test positive in the LA area. Here is information from the CDC website. It looks like once the virus is cleared from your blood stream, there is no risk to future pregnancies, but I feel like this is such a new virus and so little is known about it.
If a woman who is not pregnant is bitten by a mosquito and infected with Zika virus, will her future pregnancies be at risk? We do not know the risk to the infant if a woman is infected with Zika virus while she is pregnant. Zika virus usually remains in the blood of an infected person for only a few days to a week. The virus will not cause infections in an infant that is conceived after the virus is cleared from the blood. There is currently no evidence that Zika virus infection poses a risk of birth defects in future pregnancies. A women contemplating pregnancy, who has recently recovered from Zika virus infection, should consult her healthcare provider after recovering.
Should a pregnant woman who traveled to an area with Zika virus be tested for the virus? See your healthcare provider if you are pregnant and develop a fever, rash, joint pain, or red eyes within 2 weeks after traveling to a country where Zika virus cases have been reported. Be sure to tell your health care provider where you traveled.
Can a previous Zika virus infection cause someone who later becomes pregnant to have an infant with microcephaly? We do not know the risk to the baby if a woman is infected with Zika virus while she is pregnant. However, Zika virus infection does not pose a risk of birth defects for future pregnancies. Zika virus usually remains in the blood of an infected person for about a week. The virus will not cause infections in a baby that is conceived after the virus is cleared from the blood.
Is it safe to get pregnant after traveling to a country with Zika virus? If infected, Zika virus usually remains in the blood of an infected person for about a week. The virus will not cause infections in a baby that is conceived after the virus is cleared from the blood.
purple There's a strange tradition of pulling a groundhog from his hole on Feb 2. If he sees his shadow we have 6 more weeks of winter, if he doesn't see his shadow it means an early spring. It's weird when you really think about it. And his name is Puxatawney Phil.
Thanks for the explanation! I still feel I'm missing something so I guess it's one of those national traditions that make sense when you live with them :-)
billyhorrible , I probably missed it, but what ended up happening with your weird arm issue? That popped into my head this morning, don't ask me why.
Dr. Mom told me she thought it must be an allergic reaction, possibly to a bite, and I should keep an eye on it. So I did. It got less red as the day went on. Now you can only see it if you look for it, so it's not red anymore - just a line of really small scabs, like a healing scrape/burn.
E has decided that he doesn't like sleeping much lately and I wonder if he is on the verge of learning something new. Also, at the rate he is going, I think he will learn to crawl before he can sit on his own. My baby is a weirdo.
