Tuesday things!

[WittyLittle]

DH just left to go home to Greece for a week and I have to take the bus back with DS after work. And it's going to rain. BAH. And he'll skip his dinner because I'll need to feed him some bread on the bus to not have him turn in to the hulk. And he's teething. Somebody hold me?

[jwinct]

I was chatting online with my sister-in-law last night, firming up our plans for Friday because we're going to the Garth Brooks concert together and we're planning to drive into Worcester a little early in the day and poke around for a few hours. And she said that my brother (her husband) was wondering if we should stay overnight in Worcester, assuming that we're going to be drinking before and during the concert, which normally I totally would be. I told her that I didn't think it was necessary and that I know I will be fine to drive. There is no way that I'm going to be able to hide this from her. Me not drinking and being unable to keep my own secrets very well means that I'm totally telling her on Friday. LOL My best friend from college is also going with us and is meeting us in the city, so I'll be telling her, too. I'm so glad to be able to tell her in person because I never got to tell her in person with my first two.

Funny thing - I'm no longer a country music fan, but I will always love Garth! I actually have low tolerance for most country music these days. Even some of Garth's more twangy songs on his newest CD I have to skip over. It took me over 20 years to finally see Garth Brooks in concert last January and it was so worth the wait - he is amazing and so fun.

I can't wait for Friday!

[jwinct]

WittyLittle - Good luck with that!

[ellabee]

Kudos to you for writing all those thank you notes @holachica! That's no small task!

Ugh WittyLittle - I hate the pre-dinner meltdown-avoiding snack. We do it frequently when we eat dinner at my MILs house because we can't seem to sit down any earlier than 7. We usually eat with DD around 5:30, so by 7 she is ravenous and whiny. Cheerios and cheese for DD it is! Then MIL wonders why DD doesn't want to sit and eat the actual dinner with us. ::humpf, eye roll::

Have an awesome time at the concert jwinct! I'd rather go home than stay in Worcester too (even if I wasn't pregnant) lol. Having lived there for 4 years while in college was more than enough Worcester for me.

[jwinct]

ellabee - Thanks! I am not a fan of Worcester, either. DH lived there until middle school and he would rather us not stay there. Ha!

I have to work and have an u/s appointment this morning. This afternoon is babysitter and more work (or a pedicure... I am undecided) and then 5pm speech therapy for DD. 5pm is too late for preschooler speech therapy. Ugh. At least she doesn't have the 5:30 slot?

Pedi, hands down. Work should never come before pedi  
Fx for a great scan today!!!
5pm is a really crappy time, sorry

[jwinct]

@kitchen - good luck at your appointment!

My u/s appointment is next Tuesday. I'm nervous and excited.

[ellabee]

GL at your scan @kitchen!

I feel your pain Oh well, we're going to my parents' place tomorrow so I can try and remind DS that we actually eat a meal around this time then. He wouldn't eat yesterday because he was hurting from getting his first molar :/ poor guy... 

[WittyLittle]

Off I go... wish me luck

[hikingmama222]

We're on day 3 of DD'S fever. It's 9 am and she's still sleeping. I'm taking mornings off work to stay with her and H has been taking the afternoons. My mom offered to watch her tomorrow if she's still sick. I'm just glad my exhaustion isn't as bad as it was last week since we haven't been sleeping great with her sick.

Have you taken her to the doctor? I hope she gets better soon!

Not yet. 3 other kids in the day home all had the same thing. Lasting 2-2.5 days. If her fever goes back up this morning I'm taking her in.

[sanibel21]

WittyLittle good luck with bus ride and dinner!
jwinct the concert and telling people Friday sounds fun!
@kitchen good luck with the ultrasound!
We had a playdate this am. The little boy pooped and I thought I was gonna hurl. I haven't told her I'm pregnant yet so that was a bit of a challenge. I'm still a little nervous about lack of nausea and food aversion considering they both ran rampant most of my first pregnancy.
Hoping to get some errands done after DDs nap.
Oh yeah, my strawberries tasted like cilantro this am. Strange...

[britta]

T&Ps WittyLittle

jwinct I'm SO jealous you get to see Garth! Have so much fun!

Good luck with your scan @kitchen!

DS and I went to the grocery store this morning and then played outside. The sun is out again today which makes me irrationally happy. I don't inter well, and they're calling for 6+ inches of wet snow tomorrow night into Thursday. MH was like, "Well yeah, it's still winter." I had high hopes though that we might be coming to the end, at least of the big snowfalls. Womp, womp.

I'm scheduled to work at 11p tonight and am contemplating going in at 7p to help out. There are quite a few surgeries today and I know the ICU is strapped. I try to help out when I can and since I know H will be home (because he worked last night) I should probably go in. I guess it will depend on how long DS naps this afternoon.

Edit to fix tag.

[smallpotato]

Good afternoon ladies!

@holachica, awesome work with the thank you cards! I am impressed.
Good luck to you, WittyLittle. Teething+hangry is not a good combination.
jwinct, have fun at the concert! I also agree with everyone about staying in Worcester. If it's not a long drive, going home always wins. I saw Garth last January, too, and he was amazing! I had never seen him, and MH saw him years ago. I've been to a few concerts at the DCU Center (I keep wanting to call it the Centrum), and it's a great venue.
Good luck with your appointment, @kitchen! Another vote for the pedi.
hikingmama222, I hope your DD feels better soon.
sanibel21, sorry about your strawberries. I hate cilantro, so that taste would ruin it for me.
britta, we're supposed to get a little snow here, but right at evening commute time. I also do not winter well, so I feel your pain.

I had to call in to work today because DS has a fever of 39C. This poor kid has been sick since Christmas. I'm over it.

[macaronmama]

GL, WittyLittle, do what you gotta do to stay sane.
hikingmama222, I am so sorry to hear your little is sick. Hoping it goes down soon or that the doctor can help.

Got three cavities filled this morning and the pressure in my teeth (now that the numbness is wearing off) on top of all my other preg symptoms is making me a grouch. It's cold, it's wet, I'm hungry, I'm in pain, and I still have five hours of work left. I kinda wanna just curl up and cry.

[jwinct]

smallpotato - Thanks! The last time I was at the DCU Center, it was still the Centrum... my aunt and uncle took my friend and I to see New Kids on the Block. We spent the day at the Worcester Galleria, watching all the New Kids "spin-off" bands perform. It was so much fun. We were at the Thursday night show in Boston last January. I'm so glad that's the one we went to because I heard having those back-to-back shows in one night was a bit of a nightmare.

Oh no - I hope he starts getting better soon!

I had to google the Fahrenheit conversion. It's 102.2, if anyone's wondering.

We were at the Sunday night Garth show. He was still energetic, but he sounded and looked exhausted. It was still a great show. We sat behind the stage, and he was so close to us.

[smallpotato]

macaronmama, hope you feel better soon!
@snuff9861, hope your DS feels better soon.

I think DS is starting to have more vivid dreams. He cried out in his sleep again last night, and when I went in, he was asleep on the floor. I hope we have a quiet night tonight, because I am tired. At least MH is home tonight and can get up with DS if need be.

Our home voicemail password stopped working for some reason last week. MH called today, and the company told him it hadn't changed. Of course, there was a message from my doctor's office regarding a question I had emailed to them on Thursday. Now I'm waiting for a call back from the nurse.

[penguin129]

jwinct Have fun at the concert and sharing your secret
hikingmama222 & @snuff9861 I hope your LO's feel better soon.
Good luck at your appointment @kitchen
WittyLittle Thoughts coming your way. Sorry you are going to have a tough day ahead of you.
macaronmama OUCH! I hate having cavities filled. I hope your pain stops soon.

I may already know this, but how old is he?

I've been thinking the same about my son. He yells out quite a bit and is very restless at times, without ever fully waking.

[kaliRN]

Back to work. I'm so tired. I spend all night peeing and so now I just wanna sleep. My body is a little turned around.

DH is also still sick with the Norovirus. I feel bad for him- but I'm not sad about being at work and away from the germs!

[penguin129]

I rode bike to the library to take DD to story time (we've had one car since July). It ended up raining so my Uncle came and picked us up. It was so nice of him.

He's 3.5, turning 4 in July. He does this every now and then, but has done it for the last 3 or so nights in a row. The funny thing is I told him to get back into bed, which he did but backwards. Then I told him to turn around and he did. I asked him this morning if he remembered me coming in to his room, but he didn't answer me.

[britta]

macaronmama feel better. Hang in there.

My sister is giving me crap because I haven't scheduled my first appt yet (we have the same OB). I just don't see the point. Our practice is fairly hands off and doesn't see patients until 10-12 weeks. That's like, April for me. *shrugs*

[k2tog]

The vomiting showed up today.

jwinct we ended up telling my family this past weekend because my mom pulled out a bottle of wine. It is so uncharacteristic of me to turn down a glass of wine, so we really had no choice but to spill the beans.

hikingmama222 @snuff9861 I hope your kids feels better soon! Fevers suck.
