This week cannot end fast enough. 

[littlelion]

Happy Hump Day! 

I think the teething phase is the worst. Worse than learning how to BF, worse than MOTN wake ups and feedings, etc. Leo lost .5 lbs since last Saturday. I want those teeth out already. Our night was fine, only 1 wake up at 4 am as is his custom lately. No fever. I hope he drinks more milk today. 

I have a coffee mtg later and then a couple more mtgs so the day should go fast. 

[laceysbryan]

littlelion Hopefully Leo perks up today, and glad your overnight went okay. Enjoy the coffee part of your coffee meeting!

[laceysbryan]

DH has out of town depositions Thursday and Friday so I slept in an extra 30 minutes to snuggle and then some.
Wishing I had stopped for coffee because this tea isn't giving me the motivation I need to get this day going.

[kcrus]

My H has a 103 fever, my oldest son is rocking 102. I'm down to 101 and baby just has a low grade 99. Gonna be a fun day round these parts!

[bkmama0]

Poor sick babies and kids and dads and mamas. I'm bracing myself for when we inevitable catch whatever megavirus is on its way for spring.

I have to give a short presentation to my ENTIRE company tomorrow, gulp. Putting my slide together today. Have I mentioned that I hate public speaking? And that this is making me fantasize about quitting and becoming a SAHM or freelance writer or novelist slash actor or something anything that is not presenting? Sigh. It'll be fine.

I miss my little girl today. Big time.

Oh also i ordered her a training potty on Amazon and it got here yesterday. LO doesn't like sitting on the big potty but the other day she ran to it after pooping in her diaper and was embarrassed that I had to lay her down and change her. So I do feel like she may be ready. We'll see.

littlelion I hope Leo gets better today! Poor baby.
laceysbryan get yourself a fancy coffee
kcrus healthy vibes for the whole family!

It's friggin 90 degrees here every day for the last two weeks. I think it's just life with a toddler. This particular virus came courtesy of a DC we toured. I have decided we are doing in home care because obviously our immune systems are not up to the task.

[littlelion]

laceysbryan I second that fancy coffee!

Haha the acting is a lot of fun and weirdly it doesn't feel at all like public speaking. I really shouldn't let the nerves take over my brain, it will be fine, short and quick. Thanks for the good wishes!

[ashlantic]

littlelion sorry you spent so long in the ER last night, but glad Leo is ok! Fx the teething fairy leaves your house soon. ALL the coffee to you!
laceysbryan not a bad way to start your morning.
kcrus ugh! Hope all this crud leaves your house soon and you guys all feel better.
bkmama0 I hate public speaking too! Good luck with your presentation tomorrow. You got this!

[ashlantic]

Lo slept in until almost 8 today (which is probably the latest he's ever slept.) He's been in a bad mood ever since then, though. Digging really deep into my reserves of patience. I suspect it's teething, and I hope he's not coming down with something because his appetite has been off too.

[BabyStandish]

Tmi: I am leaking so much EWCM. Like wow. FX this is me ovulating!!

LOL that's hilarious. More TMI: My husband hates the term "cervical fluid" and so we call it "play juice"

[reginaphalange3]

littlelion I agree teething is the worst!! Glad Leo is fine though otherwise!
laceysbryan hope you can get your hands on some coffee and your day goes quick!
kcrus sorry you've got the sick house we do an inhome daycare and I'm scared to switch bc I think we'll be sick all the time! Hope you all are feeling better asap!
bkmama0 GL with your presentation! That's great she's interested in the potty...I think we are a long ways off from that.
ashlantic hope your LO perks up...we are having the same moodiness here (but not the sleeping in )
BabyStandish hope your cycle's getting back on track and you can get KU the first cycle!

[reginaphalange3]

B slept like crap last night. He had been doing so much better but I gave in and just held him in the chair for most of the night. Idk if it's teething or he acts scared when I leave so it's puzzling! (Just when I thought we were > < this close to sttn) I tried to let him fuss for a few minutes and he went hysterical psycho baby and banged his head on the headboard of the crib. (Back to forehead bruises I guess) so we canceled our pictures for this morning and met my SIL and niece at a big outdoor garden/park. Hoping for a long afternoon nap, I think I'm going to nap too!

[bkmama0]

Aww just got a package from my mom with these two guys in it for LO:

Plus two little toddler-sized dress-up tutu things that LO may like. Can't wait for this weekend.

[raven]

Woke up to blizzard like conditions here and no electricity. Four hours later and still no electricity/heat, DH and I took LO over here to my parents house, which does have electricity. She's now down for a nap, and DH is out scouring the streets to find something for us to eat. So far, Wendy's and Taco Bell are closed. WTF?! Electricity "should" be back on by 3pm for my IL's, which I think is ridiculous.

In other news, I meet my brother's girlfriend for the first time tomorrow. He's been single for quite a while (we're talking years), and I'm so happy for him. They met online, but are both willing to take things slow. I just hope I don't leave her with a bad impression. We're going to a hockey game and I have a tendency to just yell things at the ice.

[bkmama0]

I don't have to present after all! Half relieved half pissed I spent so much mental effort on it.

[kml218]

Omg ladies! My sister just told me she passed her final test and is officially a commercial pilot!!! I'm crying like a baby I'm so proud of her!!! I am just in awe of her right now!

[bkmama0]

kml218 That's awesome! Congrats to your family.
raven I hope you get power back ASAP and that your brothers gf is friendly.

Just found out that this 2 yo little boy, recent addition to LO's (small, mixed ages, one big room) DC, who looked a little off- extreme amounts of energy, yelling, unpredictable, is definitely on the spectrum. Her DC is not really equipped to handle him, and they wind up isolating him from the babies by putting him in a swing that is way too small for him, or they'll put the babies in swings while he's out on the floor. He has a few therapists that visit him during the day, but his behavior is extreme and the DC providers have 9 other kids to watch. Her DC provider told me he'll be moving to a special program elsewhere soon, and I am glad since he poses a threat to Ch. Specifically I was told he hits and likes to spit on other kids. I feel so bad that I'm hoping he leaves ASAP. His mom is really nice but overwhelmed and apparently struggling financially (according to DC providers gossip). At least NYC has good assistance programs in place for special Ed kids. It's very rough all around. Not sure how well I'd handle an autistic/Aspergers-type child.

Home from clinicals from the day. Finally soaking my vag in a sitz bath. Over this cyst.

Target run and chipotle in a bit cuz my husband is a lazy butt.

It's a good excuse to eat out at least? Hope the bath helps!

[littlelion]

I came on to say how nice it is when DH cooks. He hasn't mastered much. Mac n cheese, eggs with potatoes, pancakes and salads with chicken breast. But it's good enough. I may make 2 nights a week salad nights.

[ourcrazynavylife]

Just got the cutest easter basket at target for Em and some goodies to put in it

[ashlantic]

BabyStandish good luck!
reginaphalange3 hope B sleeps better for you tonight!
bkmama0 cute! Sucks that you spent all that time, but at least you don't have to be nervous any more!
kml218 congrats to your sister!
ourcrazynavylife ugh, hope your lady bits feel better soon. Your H better get you some beer to go with that Chipotle. We got lo's Easter basket from Target last year! They have some cute stuff. I ended up writing lo's name on it with puffy paint.
littlelion props to your H for cooking! How's Leo feeling today?
