Thank God I have today off because I'm so sick!!! I'm sweating and have body aches. This sucks!!!!!! I'm so uncomfortable trying to sleep just hurts! Yuck!!!
I wasn't supposed to have the day off today, but the bodily fluids have not stopped exiting my body yet. I'm planning on lounging and sleeping all day and I should probably take a shower since my last one was on Friday!
broadwaymama, that pic cracked me up! I'm sorry you're feeling so sick. I hope you can rest today and sleep some of it off.
babyzebra, same to you! Even though today was supposed to be a relaxing day off, I'm hoping that you can use it to kick this virus to the curb. Sorry you're feeling so crappy!
Old Navy is having a BOGO 50% off sale so I checked out a few things to see if it was worth the deal. Their leggings are on sale for $10! OR, you could go for the 2-pack for...$29.98?
I'm working, DD is at daycare for the morning but DH is picking her up for a lunch date and then to go home and play. I really, really, really need to be productive at work... sooooo... ugh.

Oh! I can't believe I forgot! So, tomorrow we have our AS and I have been dead set team green (still am) however DH is starting to crack! I said to him yesterday "well if you find out I don't care but you CAN NOT let me know". But then last night in my sweaty uncomfortable half asleep state I realized that was a dumb thing to say!! Because if he finds out he is going to tell his mother and his mother will tell people and I do not like the idea of everyone but me knowing what we are having (especially since I'm the one carrying it!). I hope he just lets it go and sticks with the plan! I think I will talk to him about it today.
My son is still not walking or standing after 2 days. Seeing the doctor today and have a call in with the orthopedic doctor we saw with his broken leg. Stuck in the house for now because I'm not supposed to be lifting him because of the placenta previa and all he wants me to do is carry him otherwise he can't get anywhere.

Aww txmommy14 hope you can figure out what's going on soon. Does ibuprofen help?
Every day I get to work early thinking I'll catch up on things. Every day I sit playing on my phone in my office and eating peanut butter until my normal start time. I should really just sleep in a little longer and give up my aspirations of productivity
Super excited about the extra day off today. I never used to get president's day off because I'm an accountant. My new job is amazing and not so cut throat.
My rant for the day....even though the music from Frozen is great I hate the story line. Like what terrible parenting keeping the girls always seperated and feeling alone. It's giving me all the feels today because it's on Disney so naturally my DD wanted to watch.
DH and I have the day off and preschool is closed so I am going to give DH a little break and take DS to the botanical gardens and out to lunch with my mom.
So DS was diagnosed with Strep last week. I plan on getting a strep test when I'm at my OB appointment on Wednesday as I've been sick for about 2 weeks, feeling much better but my throat is still not 100%. This morning DH said he was going to go to Urgent Care because he thinks he has Strep. He's upset because I said unless he can't swallow or is in some ungodly pain (which he's not) he should just make an appointment with his normal doctor for a strep test, it's not urgent care worthy for an adult (and frankly ridiculous). What say ye?
txmommy14-I hope the doctors can give you some answers!
I have this whole week off. I had an appointment where the PA again commented on how active this kid is. It's something we've heard at almost every appointment so far. I'm cleaning out my closet now and have plans to clean out the closet in the baby's room and the linen closet this week also.
csat I don't know what it is with some people & doctors. If my DH would actually want to be seen by any kind of a dr I'd be so shocked and so if it was him I'd let him go to urgent care if he wanted. (He refuses to do any medical or dental check ups or anything and I've given up on babying him.) That being said urgent care really isn't the place for a strep test.

I hate that today is not a holiday for either DH or me. It means we have to find backup care (DC is closed even though 100% of kids there have a parent working at DH's company) and pay a babysitter $10/hour so we can work. So not fun! We could take PTO, but we're both busy so it's not really an option. And I worked from home on MLK day with DS and that's not a good option either. The only up side is no traffic and starbucks is in my near future.

Sorry for everyone who isn't feeling well. Hope you all feel better soon! I am also in the not feeling well club. I think it's just a stomach bug but it's always worse when you're pregnant. I tried to call out and my boss told me that I couldn't call out sick because too many people were already out. She then texted me this morning when I was already half way to work and said I didn't need to come in. Seriously?! And I definitely didn't need to be here today.
broadwaymama hopefully DH will stick with the plan! Just remind him it's only a few more months and he will know. I would not be ok with everyone knowing except me.
My DH's grandmother (only living grand for either of us) had a stroke and she's in the hospital for 24 hour watch. Not sure how it's going to go at this point. I wish DH would deal with communicating with his family about it. It's a little stressful for me because it brings back so many memories of my family members but he's kinda clueless and when I asked him if he would please talk to his family he acted like he didn't know what I meant.
2dogs2kids I hate when bosses pull that kind of thing. Leave early today?
I have never been told no you cannot call out before and I was very close to telling her ok then I quit. I am a grown adult and when I say I am sick and cannot come to work and do my job it's not something I am asking permission for.
I thought about leaving early and the 2 ladies I work with have been trying to get me to leave but honestly going home and entertaining DS is more work than just sitting here not doing my job. I'm uncomfortable and I want to lay in bed till I feel better but that's not going to happen. I haven't thrown up since 6:30 last night so hopefully that means I'm getting better.
csat he could go to a walk-in clinic at Walgreens or CVS for a quick strep test. I've done it before. So easy. I think you can even make an appointment online.
broadwaymama, it should be like a jury where the decision needs to be unanimous. Either you both know or you don't. I don't know about you, but I could read my husband like a book. And even if not, What happens the first time he suggests a name? Colours? He accidentally blurts it to you or family and it comes back to you?
If you don't want to know, I think your H should respect that and wait it out, too. It isn't much longer now!!
txmommy14 I'm so sorry about your DS. Update is with what the doctor says today, I'm so frustrated and worried for you.
2dogs2kids super unimpressed with your boss. I'm sorry.
GOmamab15 I'm so sorry about your DH's grandmother. And his communication.
So we had a terrible time at the doctor. They pretty much told us the same thing-said it was likely "toxic synovitis" which basically means you have inflammation in the hip after an illness, even though he hadn't been sick. It's the same leg he broke in the fall, he's still not walking or standing on it. She was up in the air about whether or not to do a CBC, I decided to go for it so we'd have answers. Well, they burst one of his veins and they ended up having to have a needle in him for 5-10 minutes total, and then his arm swelled up and looked like it had a golf ball under it. I was a wreck. I had to leave the doctor and go back when the swelling wouldn't go down, and now I feel so guilty for doing the blood work rather than waiting a few more days to see if it gets better. The pediatrician kind of acted like I was an anxious, over-worrier parent. Which, I guess I am being right now. I am fragile with all he's been through (they thought he had this metabolic disease for 8 weeks when hew as born), his broken leg, not walking until 18 months, and everything with this pregnancy so far. I just wish they had been a bit more sensitive about it. AND, they didn't even tell me he "blew a vein" until after I left the doctor and then came back when he was having a significant reaction.
Sorry for my long vent and for seeming so negative. I'm laid back about so many things as a parent, but feel pretty crazy and anxious right now. I don't want to be "that patient" or "that parent" but know I totally am right now. I just want him to get better, to not have a 2 year old crawling around, and to have some answers.
