I think we missed Monday - I logged in briefly yesterday but didn't post. I took yesterday off to take E to her 1 year pedi appt and then we hung out of the rest of the day. She was pretty cranky. Her party went great and once I get the pics off my computer I'll share some more in the AW thread.
Back to work today. DH spoke to the recruiter for that job in SF last week and still hasn't heard anything about them scheduling an interview with the actual manager for the position but he is the only internal candidate. It seems like its going to come down to if they can put together a good enough relocation package that it makes sense for us to move. We'd really like to know if this is going to happen or not!
I'm feeling.... I don't know... about DS turning one soon. On the one hand I'm excited to see where he'll go, but of course I miss the little squishy snuggles.
Then I was over at the in laws on Sunday and watching my 10 month old nephew crawling around makes me sad about how little DD is doing, gross motor-wise, at 12 months. I know he'll get there, but ugh. I'm anxious for his 12 month visit next week.
I came in to post in the mommy milk Monday thread and it wasn't there. It hurt my heart a little bit to think that this place is dying. I'll AW it here: we are still going strong on our frozen stash! I haven't pumped since 11/23, and we still have a month or more left in the freezer! Yay boobs!
I'm so annoyed right now. I finally got a referral for LO's cyst to be looked at and it was in May. But they called today with a cancellation for tomorrow at 9. Of course it would be the one time I had an interview booked at work! I was sooo looking forward to this case but now I have to hand it off to someone else to do. Ughhhhhh!

mishka29, I would take it Friday. Having a day off at the end of the week always seems more relaxing and enjoyable than a day off at the beginning of the week

We have Little Man's first birthday party this weekend! Also, I'm officially done pumping. Last night I packed up all of my pumping stuff and my bottle drying rack. I'm sad that this phase is ending, but I'm excited to move forward, especially since I'm starting to feel touched out.

DS and I flew back from California yesterday, so twelve hours of solo parenting travel meant I didn't come post. I was sad when I logged on in the evening and no one had posted a Monday thread. danitaec mommy milk is up now
mishka29 I like having Monday off, but it depends on which will make you feel more behind at work. cougarette *hug* sending love & strength to be patient for N. He'll get there. You're a great mom.
cougarette my LO is not walking. She is not even interested. DD1 was steadily walking by her age. I'm a little concerned but I know she'll get there. She is very cautious and I think moving while up on her feet, scares her. danitaec I don't think we're dying...it must have been a busy Monday for all of us. mishka29 sorry good luck at the appointment though! Glad they got you in earlier.
I feel like I have to justify my Monday vote bc everyone has been saying Friday. I don't mind working Fridays bc I have a whole weekend to look forward to. There's nothing good about a work alarm going off on Monday
AFM spam: after a hellish long weekend at work, I don't work now for a week!! Goodbye bacteria and rapids for a while... Hallelujah! In other news, I'm following up with my GP today about my ruptured eardrum. It's been two weeks now and I think it's getting better (or I'm just getting used to hearing like this) but I still want to get it looked at to make sure it's healing as it should be. Today is also my 10 year dating anniversary (yup we are one of those couples). Best decade of my life
Well I'm feeling better today, and that's made me hopeful that the alternative antibiotics are working. I may even talk DH into going to the gym when he gets home. Mostly cause I have been laying about feeling sick and miserable since Friday, and need a pick me up.
I have so many individual comments but using my phone and watching a toddler makes it difficult!
mishka29 do you celebrate Easter? Or get off for the holiday? I might take off around the holiday but it depends on what you get odd currently. If you get off Good Fri I would take off the Monday after.
cougarette I can totally understand your anxiety and worries over LO. It's hard when all you want is the best and the easiest path for your sweet child. He is happy and he is loved which isost important. The rest will come in due time.
kartish we actually planned a night "away" this weekend for a combo of valentine's day and our dating anni. But our babysitter (my sister) might be too sick and we are all slow to recover from the multiple cold viruses being passed around the dreemkin household. I hope we can still pull it off but we'll have to see when Saturday comes around. Probably nothing happening tonight unfort You should definitely celebrate your 10 year this fall. It's a wonderful accomplishment (one too few people reach)!

We're going on a cruise next January. It'll be over my 31st birthday and close to our 7 year anniversary, but it's 2 weeks after our 15 year dating anniversary, so that's what we'll be celebrating.
I think we just had an off Monday. I was going to post a thread but got distracted and forgot. We'll make up for it
mishka29 I think it depends on what you want to do with your day off. If you are going to run errands and do all that stuff that needs to be done on a weekday then I vote Monday. If you are just going to hang out with LO/watch Netflix then I say Friday.
DH is visiting his dad with DD since Sunday and until tomorrow so I've had a few nights to myself at home. It's been... weird. Like being single/childless again, but with a huge longing in my heart. I feel like I've taken advantage of the free time (and the sleep!) but now tomorrow can't come fast enough!

N was sitting up playing with his blocks. I walked away and when I came back he had fallen backwards on to the boppy. I left the room again for 30 seconds and when I got back he was sitting up again! I'm not sure how he did it, but he was in the same spot. It looks like he did a sit up. Either way, yay!

My sister and I were talking this weekend about how much we each loved living alone. I'm beyond glad I have DH & DS, and she's beyond glad she has her partner, but living alone sure had its perks.
So I went to the Dr and she said that the eardrum looks healed but that the ear canal is swollen. So I got a different antibiotic drop. Hopefully this will clear it up in a week, fx! I'm glad I went bc I was right, there is still something wrong.
