kartish GL on the daycare trial! aggiebug are your ILs still coming to visit, or did the floodwaters postpone the trip?
We had a brief break but the thunderstorms picked back up again. I'm hoping they ease up again because I'd like to go to the babywearing meeting tomorrow that's 30 miles away.
DH got me concert tickets for my birthday and the show is tonight so my mom is coming down to babysit while DH and I have a night out. It would have worked out better if I could have worked from home today but I needed to be in the office for a meeting so I'll probably end up leaving right after that - at least NJ Transit is not going to be on strike until next week. Really hoping they get a contract in place before Monday or next week is going to majorly suck for me - no idea how I will get to work but pretty sure it will be long and painful.
Today was supposed to be my personal day off from work but LO is home bc she had a fever yesterday. Luckily DH is working from home and can watcher since I have a dr's apt booked. I decided to go back on the pill because, well, condoms are for sailors.
I was able to move it to Monday and take family related time today. So now I get a 4 day weekend!

kartish not at all crazy. I still call daycare on occasion to check in especially if we've changed something or DD seemed cranky or off in the morning. Its like a one minute conversation and it will give you some piece of mind.
Now if you called every hour for the rest of the day for a minute by minute play by play of his day... that would be crazy.

^^This. Go ahead and call, kartish, it will give you peace of mind.
Thanks everyone! I called and he is wandering around and playing with toys. She said he calmed down right after I left.
I still feel lousy. It was easier to leave him with family, when I know they love him and he loves them and they have fun together.
ETA I know that once he (and I) get used to it, it's going to be so much better. He is so awkward around other kids his age, and we'd love for him to make some friends. Plus the routine will be nice also, rather than him getting bounced around. Even if this place doesn't work out, we'll still be finding a childcare for him.

Had to get out of the house so we headed to the library, only to find out it's closed because of the weather. So we hung out at DH's office, had lunch with him, and came home. I need to get the house in order before DS wakes from his nap, but I'm feeling really lazy. I should've napped.
Wearing a non nursing bra for the first time since DD was born. My reaction was pretty much "oh hey, there are my boobs again!"
I started wearing a nursing bra with DS (almost 4 years old) when I was still pregnant. I needed a bigger size than my normal bra and didn't want to buy a whole new set of regular ones for such a short time. After I finished nursing DD, I hadn't lost all my pregnancy weight so my normal ones didn't fit. I just kept wearing the nursing bra, and 10 months after weaning became pregnant with DD. You can see where this story goes. Over four years later I still haven't worn a regular bra. I hope to finish weaning DD in a few weeks and am so excited to get out of these things for good. Oh, and get my body back. Other than that 10 month span, I have either been pregnant or nursing for 4 1/2 years. I don't see how people with a lot of kids do it.
So it appears that daycare went alright, but we may still look into some other places.
Yay dmorgendorffer for no nursing bra. I miss my old bras. I have doubts that they'll ever fit again.
Also, the house is so quiet right now, I've got a cat cuddled up by me and I think that I'm just going to chill on the couch till bed. The dishes will still be there tomorrow.

I'm not sure I'll ever go back to wearing an underwire bra daily. Or caring if people can tell I have nipples under 2-3 layers of clothing. But I'm also no longer in the work force, so there's that. And it is nice to put on an underwire bra on occasion and see how nice my boobs can look... until there's a toddler attached, which kind of ruins it ;-)
mishka29 condoms are the worst. I am on a regular pill but we also (mostly) use them too bc...birth control fails are real. I don't like being on the daily pill so when I'm comfortable with pulling the Baby-making plug, DH is getting a vasectomy yay!
Yesterday was Epic "go live" day. I think the micro department had it the easiest. Our problems will happen this weekend though bc everything is delayed a day or two for incubating/growing. I'm waiting to go in now. Ugh, just want to know what I'm doing on this system. Practice is good though so I guess I'm glad to be on this weekend.
dreemkin hope work goes smoothly! Hopefully since Epic is so commonly used by hospitals it's a good system. All change like that has growing pains though.
We are supposed to have a department ski day today, but we are taking berry's on whether or not we actually go out today. I'd like to go up top for lunch also.
I having a swimming date tonight also, I'm excited for that, should be fun.

This may be me. Although I want to buy some new bras when I wean DS. I don't even really care right now how my boobs look at work.

DH is all for getting a vasectomy but I keep telling him to wait lol. But I'm just now realizing that periods really suck when you are not on the pill.

kartish chilling is a great way to spend Friday night, especially in a peaceful quiet house.
Yes, we plan to be "two and through". The plan was always most likely two and open to possibly three if we really think we need a third. After our first, we decided two was plenty. :-)

So much this. I've been putting off getting new bras for serveral weeks because I hate trying them on.

Only had one flood-related detour on my way to the babywearing meeting today.
My BFF's teeny preemie is a little over 3 months old and finally weighs 7 lbs!! So proud of her & her parents! Both ears passed the last hearing test too!
