Thirsty Thursday! Randoms

[babyw15]

I am hoping you are snuggling your babies and not working like me!

[babyw15]

I had a very busy morning....calm for now but going to get busy again..which sucks because I wanted to try and meet hubby at the new house for inspection.....looks like he will have to go alone!

I'm just over here trying to keep the snot under control. She's in a great mood so far so no complaints on that front.

Drinking my coffee & waiting for one of my fav movies to come on. I know so exciting.

In my defense I stayed up past midnight working on my presentation. I hate that late night seems to be the only time I can get work done.

ourcrazynavylife, I don't know how you do it. My mind is mush after 9 pm. What movie?

[littlelion]

My afternoon off yesterday did not feel like time off. I went and got my birth certificate. And the clerk actually commented on my misspelled name. I told her no one has ever said anything but I do worry that it would cause problems (hopefully not for DH).  My first name is spelled with a "c" on my birth certificate but all my other official docs use an "s". I got the form to change it on my birth certificate.

Other than that, I made my pasta for the potluck at work, made dinner and then ran errands before picking Leo up early. I really want to take a vacation day each week until DH comes home. I feel so wiped out by the end of the week.

littlelion Insurgent (the 2nd film in the Divergent series) idk why but I'm obsessed with them.

Morning ladies. As the semester comes to a close things are busy around here. I feel like I have less time now with DS than I did when I was working on my paper. He's just getting so big and I feel like I'm missing out on it. I'm hoping to find a good balance soon.

So tired today. Rough night over here. I have weird anaphylactic reactions sometimes (I've got a weird autoimmune thing) and it's really reared its ugly head lately. I woke up with my throat swelling shut and my face looked like that scene from Hitch. I got it under control without going to the hospital but it required a LOT of antihistamines. I'm sooooo sleepy today. LO is in a crank ass mood- her last molar is breaking through and she is not feeling it.

I'm hoping for a real nap today, during which I will be crazy irresponsible and not do homework. I plan to just sit and maybe nap and watch trash tv. FX that happens.

Back to work tomorrow.

[ashlantic]

Not much planned here. Lo woke up in a happy mood, which was a nice break from the cranky, teething toddler I've had the last couple days.

babyw15 hope your day doesn't get too busy!
ourcrazynavylife hope she ditches this cold quickly. I'm glad she's happy at least!
littlelion you are superwoman! Only 1.5 days until the weekend, you're almost there!
@alexipodes are you taking spring/summer classes or taking it off? Hope things settle down for you!
kcrus take it easy and feel better lady!

LO was up again last night at 2AM..I am not sure why he does it maybe because he is tired, his teeth hurt or his ear hurts...but when he wakes up he is inconsolable for at least 10 minutes...he flings his whole body around while I am holding him and if I try to put him down he gets angry and rolls around on the floor while screaming like a mad man.... finally I got him to calm down and gave him motrin and some warm milk which helped because he was back in bed by 2:45 (in his own crib).... I woke up this AM and said to hubby...we are in bed without a baby....I hope whatever it is causing LO to do this hurry's up.. I hate not being able to console him!!!

Sounds like night terrors

[ashlantic]

Lo just polished off a huge plate of pasta and has been eating a ton lately. Growth spurt?? Anyone else's kid eating them out of house and home?

[ashlantic]

babyw15 I agree with kcrus, that sounds like night terrors. Poor thing!

I wish. Mine started the long and painful toddler hunger strike. I don't worry so much about how much she eats as I do about how much food gets wasted!

Yes. This morning Leo found the english muffins and ate one before we left the house. He's had one once before so I was surprised he knew it was food. I'm afraid he's having 1st breakfast at home and 2nd breakfast at school.

[babyw15]

ashlantic, kcrus, I really was hoping this wasn't the answer! Any idea how long it takes for them to grow out of them?

Depends. It can come and go, I think up to age three. It's not usually every night for years tho. Maybe try letting him fuss through it. That works for my LO- when I go in, it actually makes her more upset because she's disoriented.

My Stitch Fix box came today

[kcrus]

ourcrazynavylife LMK how you like it! My friends have had mixed results. I was thinking of trying it for work clothes.

[ourcrazynavylife]

kcrus I really liked this box. The stylist gave me a great mix of casual pieces and more formal pieces for school/work

Cute stuff! That last outfit is perfect for clinicals!

[bkmama0]

ashlantic My LO eats a lot, which makes sense since she's huge for her age. Big, growing girl. This week she hasn't been as hungry as usual, which is slightly relieving. Feeling proud of her because she was refusing everything green lately but yesterday she ate a bunch of asparagus heads. If she could have her way she'd eat bananas, blueberries, yogurt, and cheese only.

Yes! Mine!

[bkmama0]

Today, Ch ate: pouch, omelette and pancake chunks from breakfast out, ~8 oz of milk and fruit smoothie, whole banana, then nap time. After nap, pasta with pesto and broccoli, blueberries, strawberries, another pouch, a couple small chunks of peanut butter cookies I baked, some more blueberries, around a half cup of plain yogurt with a little honey, and more pasta, as well as BF 3x or so.

Wondering how that sounds for your guys. Should I increase the amount of milk? Between the smoothie, yogurt, and BF I feel like she's getting enough, but curious to hear any thoughts.

[ashlantic]

ourcrazynavylife cute! Love the maxi skirt and that grey striped top! That outfit at the bottom is something I totally would have worn teaching if I was bold enough to wear colored pants.
bkmama0 it's funny because lo was the opposite- loooves veggies, but it just now coming around to fruit. We really struggle with meat though. Unless it's breaded, he usually won't touch it. Is Ch still not taking straight whole milk?

[ashlantic]

Apparently too many grapes at lunch leads to a total ass disaster. Lo was squirming and kicking when I was changing him and got.poop.everywhere. It was so bad I put him straight in the tub. I picked some ice cream up on my way home from yoga as a treat for dealing with all that. Lol

[bkmama0]

ashlantic She lets WCM run out of her mouth if she drinks it. Has only taken a few sips without spitting so far. I'm sure giving her smoothies doesn't help her get used to plain WCM, but I kind of figure she's getting the nutrition she needs from everything combined. I'm not sure though, if I'm doing it wrong lmk FTM problems!

Also sorry about the ass disaster lol!!

[ourcrazynavylife]

ashlantic thanks! I'm obsessed with the maxi skirt. It's so soft IRL. Also the colored pants were totally out of my comfort zone. But I figured they'd be a good "grownup" addition to my wardrobe.

[ourcrazynavylife]

Omg what is wrong with me?! Chocolate donuts yesterday. Now chocolate chip cookies today!

I'm sooooo hungry. Meh!

[ashlantic]

bkmama0 I'm a FTM just muddling my way through too!
