Good morning, littlelion ! Hope you're having a nice, coffee-filled morning
I miss LO like crazy already today and it's only 9:40. You think I'd be used to being away from him now; next week marks a year since I went back to work after he was born. But some days I randomly just miss him so much. Does this ever happen to anyone else?
Dh had class night so it was me and Leo for the evening. It was pretty much dinner and storytime only then bed. But he had his first bottle of milk since Saturday night and although his tummy made noises, no poop! And this morning his poop was no longer runny! I'll refrain from inserting the poop emotican here.
It's supposed to be my slow week at work. But instead I have so much crap to do before my busy week next week. Boo.
dashook I've been sad leaving him in the mornings when he's awake and only wants his mama. I've gotten teary eyed lately thinking of him going back to DC. I have 2 photos of him on my desk but I'd love to plaster all my cube with his chubby face. Probably not the most professional thing to do.
Good Morning ladies! dashook that would happen to me with DD and I only worked part time. Sorry you are having a hard time mama *hugs* littlelion yay for the good poop report sorry you can't catch a break at work.
In other Randoms: DD turned 3 yesterday and I had such a hard time with that. I was so emotional! I don't know why 3 was harder for me then 1 or 2. I think it hit me that she really is no longer a baby.

Hey ladies! Dh is officially out of town so it's just me, DS, and our dog. Hope we survive the next few days. In other news, my period showed up yesterday afternoon so I'm excited to finally start trying to get pregnant! GkU is a little slow this morning. Someone needs to post the WTO thread since I can finally participate!!

Yay! Congrats! You should start the WTO thread...I'm sure you'd have a fun gtky

You have incredible self-restraint. I have two on my desk, and 4 on my walls...plus a photo collage mug that sits on my desk, and a wall calendar that has at least 6 different pics each months. Screw professionalism lol
nemomof2, awww happy belated birthday to your DD! And hugs...it really is emotional for the mamas watching them get older. BabyStandish, you go start that thread girl!
I miss my chunk. Do you guys feed your LOs WCM straight up? LO didn't like WCM initially so I have been making smoothies every morning that have bananas, yogurt, and usually strawberries, apples, blueberries, and/or mango blended in as well. She loves it, we drink a glass too with coffee, and I think the yogurt makes it gentler on her tummy. I usually give her another meal with yogurt or cheese to add more calcium, and I BF 2-3x/day still too. For some reason I'm hesitant to give her plain WCM.
I have zero pics of my girl in my cubicle, need to get some up! Although at my workplace very few people have kids, and I want to avoid becoming "the mom". Blah. My job is weird vibes.
Ladies we go to Disney tomorrow!!!! I seriously cant wait to get LO hair cut!! It is sooooo long!! As far as the rash goes (from yesterday) it was nothing like when I found it on Sunday... I had expected to see him covered from head to toe with it...nope all gone this AM MIL just called my SIL gets in tomorrow at 1 (in Orlando) so we need to be on the road no later than 8:30.. I texted hubby to tell him and his reponse was "we will see"....yeah tell that to your mother who is dying to see her grandkids!!! So we will be out the door by 8/8:30 weather he likes it or not...lol...
bkmama0, we give LO WCM straight up in a sippy, or if we go to a restaurant he drinks it through a straw (though I assume restaurant milk is 2%, not whole, but whatever).
bkmama0 we also give LO straight WCM sometime mixed with frozen BM if I remember to get some out and thaw it. BabyStandish yay for finally being in the WTO!!!!! babyw15 so glad his rash cleared up! Have fun!
Dr called back and told me that it was normal for starting the pill and to take 800 mg ibuprofen every 8 hours to see if that helps. I am supposed to call if it doesn't help. They didn't act concerned at all though.
Talked to a realtor this morning and we're meeting later this week to discuss listing our house. We'll most likely need to sell ours first to get the $$$ for a down payment on a new house. We have a house we're going to look at tonight. It sounded like there were lots of showings, so I'm not getting my hopes up. I'm equal parts excited and terrified that we're jumping back into the housing market. I hated buying our first house.
Lo slept like shit last night, woke up early, and took a power nap this morning. I'm hoping for a decent afternoon nap! I have a lot to do to make our house presentable (aka like a toddler doesn't live here! ) by Friday.
dashook hugs. Hope your work day goes by fast so you can get home and snuggle your lo! littlelion glad Leo is feeling better! sgio7485 how's your Leo doing? BabyStandish good luck solo parenting! May the odds be ever in your favor. bkmama0 I was oddly nervous to give lo straight WCM too, even though he'd had cheese and yogurt and been fine. We started giving it to him shortly after his birthday. We mixed it with BM for about a week and then just gave it to him straight after that. He loves it. He still takes it out of a bottle but that's a battle I'm willing to put off for a while. babyw15 glad the rash is gone! That sounds exactly like the one lo had this winter. Have fun at Disney! nemomof2 hope that does the trick. Bleeding for that long sounds like hell. ourcrazynavylife sending sleepy vibes to Em so you can get some work done today.
Help! Anyone have any good tips for cleaning up a stove top? We have a gas stove and there's burnt on crud. Magic eraser only works a little. I tried baking soda/hydrogen peroxide and all that did was smear baking soda around. It was a huge pain in the ass to wipe up. (Thanks, Google.)

I like to use my Lemon Oil. I just put a couple drops on the caked on spot and let it soak for a bit then scrub it off.

Ugh, I have the same problem. I sometimes wait until I am using the oven to clean the stove top. Then I'll either spray water or method cleaner on it, wait a while, then wipe/scrub. The heat helps. But sometimes I wish I could do like my grandma which was aluminum foil the stove top. I think there was metal piece between the pilot and the burner grates. I don't think my stove (or any?) are built that way anymore.

I am not happy with my husband. Sunday he said we'd do groceries Monday when I got out early. When I got home, he didn't want to risk being late to the appt so he said he'd go today with Leo. Half an hour before I leave work he tells me he didn't go, that we'll go together once I get home. I'm sending his butt alone to the store because that is the last thing I want to do after work. Plus I need to do laundry. It bothers me more since now I can't get dinner started. Grrr.

Got about a third of my presentation completed. We're going to see one of the houses this evening when DH gets off work. Then the other we'll see after class on Saturday.
Side note: about poop Every. Single. Time. She eats peas she poops sooooo much!!! I've changed so many diapers full of peas today. But she loves them so much !!! Ughhhh lol.

Late but... @ach813 Yes! I miss LO all the time, especially if I have a free min or two. I went back after Easter break last year, so while it isn't quite a year calendar wise it did make me think coming back from Easter today. littlelion I enjoy some nights with just me and B. Glad to hear Leo is feeling better! nemomof2 glad the dr got back to you and wasn't concerned! Hope the ibuprofen helps! Hugs for your DD turning 3. I've bee sappy lately but for no real reason. BabyStandish Mh is out of town too-GL!! I find that for the most part I missed Mh way more before LO. (I took that alone time and that sure I can meet for a girls' happy hour time for granted!!) Now as long as it's a normal night with B we stay busy and when he goes to bed I get stuff ready for the next day and watch whatever crap TV I want! Haha Congrats (?! Lol) on AF's return!! Hope you GKU super quick! bkmama0 I give B straight milk but it's hit or miss how much he'll drink. I should make the smoothies bc he would likely drink it all then, but I never have time in the mornings!! How long does it stay mixed? Could I blend it at night and send the next day? babyw15 yay for disney I hope you have an amazing trip! We are probably visiting my mom in Florida in August and I want to do one day in disney. I may need your expert advice! ourcrazynavylife hope you love and can get one of the new houses you are considering and that you had a fun day with E! ashlantic GL with house hunting!! So stressful, but worth it when you find a great place! Hope your LO cooperated with a long afternoon nap! (Also sorry no tips from me. Our current place has a glass stovetop, I remember the gas stove being a huge pain to clean at our last rental.)

So busy today!! Rant: Yesterday my phone died in line at target (went from 20% to dead!! ) and I didn't get to use my cartwheel app (one of the only times I really planned with it too!)! The lady said I could bring my receipt and phone the next day, so I haul LO there after school today for my third trip since Sat. The guy says he can do it but he can't just scan both. He would have to manually calculate each coupon and credit it back. There was a huge line and not enough cashiers so I left (after buying more cheap Easter candy of course) but I think I'm crazy bc I'm considering going back and hoping for a short/no line tomorrow and at least get back some of the bigger discounts. (What I should've just done today!) They also have kids storage/furniture/decorations for 20% in the app until Sat. I want to get some stuff for our new place but we don't move in until the 15 and it will be hard to know what we need until then. Ooohh well...making lunch for tomorrow and going to bed early I think.
