So I've been MIA, which happens when DD decided that she cannot live without at least one extremity touching me. Four teeth coming in I think. They still haven't broken. I'm hoping by the grace of some deity she'll wake up this morning with more teeth grown in. That's not going to happen but hey.
I've also finally managed to get my FB business page up with all my pictures. It only made me want to kill myself a little bit. I'm getting too old for this shit apparently. And I actually got to hang out with my best friend. I perused her dating app. It's a scary scene out there. I don't think I've ever been so grateful to not be single.
Anyway that's me. Let me go back to see what you bitches have been up to.
Jack had 4 teeth come in at the same time too, I couldn't decide if those couple of weeks of hell were worth it to get it over with or if I would have preferred them spread out.
We have moms group today and I'm probably going to put Jack in the nursery so I can relax for that hour or so, he's never been in the nursery so I'm interested to see how he does.
I was up way too much in the middle of the night last night worrying about money. We have a ton of projects that need to be done around the house and I am trying to decide what is priority. I think I want us to just bite the bullet and get all of it done this spring before LO arrives.
TheTuna15 I am having the same issue. DS either NEEDS to be touching me, or he hates my guts. I was thinking two year molars or just adjusting to weaning.

I need a money tree.
This keeps me up as well. I'm freaking out about having another one in DC full time. It will literally cost me one entire paycheck to send them both each month. It makes my stomach hurt. Everyone's words of comfort are "you'll make it work!". WTF DOES THAT MEAN??
It's Tuesday and the first time I've made it to work early pretty much since I GKU. Plus, I'm drinking hot chocolate and baby is having a party down there. Glad she approves.
melody330, That's how DD is being. When daddy comes home, God forbid I even attempt to touch her. When it's just me and her, she's a leech. These teeth are being really slow. I have a crochet shop. I do 95% of my business through word of mouth referrals. So while it's nice that I get a lot of "I saw so-and-so with this at the store/baby shower/etc and I want x." I would like to expand out to more people. But investing time in social media + being KU + 1 year old running around + making product = stressful as hell.

I will also have 2 in full time daycare. It will take over half the money i make in a month to pay for it. I wish there was a good option for either me or my husband to not work but we make similar amounts and one paycheck isn't going to work. I am dreading it so much. Sign me up for the money tree!! We will have no money for projects around the house or really any unusual expenses. Brightside i am really good at making things work

I have just a Facebook page for my little craft business. People have asked if I have an etsy page and, ugh, I don't want to deal with that. I've found fb to be perfect for me to freely promote and have a bit of credibility and a place to send people for questions but I don't have to deal with strangers or much shipping. Plus I felt fine totally ignoring it my whole first trimester! Good luck. I hope it works out just the way you want it.

I have an etsy because I find it so much easier to have people reference that for pricing. Getting it started was a massive PIA but maintaining it isn't difficult. So there's that. Do you do anything to promote your Facebook page or just post semi regularly?

TheTuna15 I make headbands from vintage fabric scraps and notions, so my pricing is consistent. You can buy what I've made or have one designed for you but it's the same price. I just post a picture of a project every so often and an occasional meme about ribbons or hair. I've been really slacking since Christmas but it's more a hobby to me and I don't want to expand much. #lazy
TheTuna15, I hope her teeth come through soon. Gah, that reminds me of how awful teething is on everyone and I'm dreading doing that again. The snuggles are worth it though.
acorn99, if you find this money tree LMK. The thought of two in daycare also frightens me!
So I'm excited to share that my mom gets to come home this weekend! She will be doing some in home rehab for a while, but at least she will be home!

I am doing training for my new position so I probably wont be around as much for awhile. I had to get up and walk around just now though because I was falling asleep behind the person I am supposed to be observing for the next week.

We actually switched to an in home center for DS because putting him and the girls in his last center would have been $800/wk. With sibling discounts the current place will be half that. DS loves it there because he really thrives in smaller settings. And she has a good curriculum too.
I got my new phone case last night and there is a speck of something trapped under the screen protector that came with it that is driving me crazy.
I generally don't like cake/cupcakes, but this baby has been craving some Funfetti. So I just ate 2 cupcakes for the hell of it (wasn't even hungry). And now I have a stomach ache :-(
And regarding teeth, they suck and are overrated. DS got 6 teeth at once (awful), and when his 1 year molars came in (worse), no one slept day or night for 3 months. I was ready to put him out on the curb. Good thoughts for those dealing with teething now! There are only 20 baby teeth so there is an end - until the next kid comes along :-)
Re: teething. I may have asked Mh why he couldn't just take a scalpel to Ks gum to speed along the process. That idea was frowned upon. But seriously. I know what lemurs feel like. Nothing brings me joy like a 25lb child hanging off me.

I have had cold/flu symptoms for awhile now and noticed some nasty stuff on my tongue and inside of my cheeks, so I went in to get checked out. Yep, I've got oral thrush. WTH. Now I get to swish nasty mouthwash 4x a day that literally tastes like vom. And then I vomit. Wheeeee!

Ugh I'm so sorry. When DS was about 3 months old, he got it and then I got a yeast infection on my nipples due to nursing. Every time he nursed, it felt like I was being jabbed by a knife. So DS had to take drops (easier to give drops to a baby than toddler at least!) while I rubbed stuff on my boobs. It eventually went away, but it was an awful experience. I hope you feel better soon!
