Aww, that is so great puddle! I feel like Hart could do it if he had the confidence. But he gets all nervous when we encourage him to try to write his name
Rosie and I took over my sister's room last night. It went great! We have agreed that Rosie and I get the bedroom to ourselves for the duration of our stay. I'm also extending my rental car for another week so I at least have a vehicle at my disposal without needing to ask to borrow one. Slowly but surely I'm getting this figured out.
My H is on a health kick. I'm really proud if him, he is making healthy life changes. He follows random health people on twitter, and from there started following a blog. He shows it to me and its women working out and Ryan Gosling memes. OMG. I died laughing and had to break it to him that its a women's health blog. Apparently the "health and beauty" title didn't give it away. He now calls it his boards, a la "today I learned blah blah on my boards" LOL. I think he wants man version on gbcn.
I forgot to take my meds 2 days in a row and now I'm feeling brain zappy.
I had the hardest time falling asleep last night bc I read that thread that His posted about cleaning things and I could not get my mind off the dead dust mites in my old ass pillow. I might have ordered an allergen protecting pillow cover before I finally fell asleep, lol. The amazon app is dangerous.
Our Pom hurt his back again- he's older and every so often, he wrenches or pinches something. I have pain meds for him and I gave him one this morning, but I'm worried about him and wish I could be home to keep an eye on him.
It's my IL's anniversary and H never mentioned it. I didn't notice until this morning on the way to work when I was checking my meeting schedule, I have an Outlook reminder that it's today. Doesn't really help for card or gift sending the day of. I don't really have much of a relationship with them, but I'm the one who takes care of the cards and stuff, because H just doesn't do that stuff. Now I feel bad.
Today is the first day with the new nanny, and I am half relieved and half nervous as fuck, and DH is OOT and I have no leave to take if I need to go home. I've been stressed about our childcare situation to the point of being physically ill for the better part of the last month, and I am just so ready for things to be settled and to get into a routine.
And to top it all off, my period decided to show up 5 freaking days early. Isn't stress supposed to delay it?!?
Days (months) like this make me understand the appeal of xanax.
I can't figure out if I'm dizzy, or just really tired, and it's a weird feeling. I'm fine when standing/walking, so I'm thinking really tired, but I don't know for sure.
My sister sent me three pictures of my niece while I was sleeping (and I got to see the little lady on Saturday), and I can't get over how cute she is. I didn't even know babies could be so adorable. She has THE best whole-mouth smile.
The boys are at daycare (no crying again, yay! a little clingy again but not bad). I am watching an episode of Vampire Diaries before I start getting ready for my interview. My boss just said "OK, thanks" to my call-out sick. (I hate those lies, btw, but I never have a better thing to say other than "Hey I have this job interview...")
Otterama, I am so glad you are finding your stride!!
I don't know if I could take that. I chased one all over the garage the other day because if it got into the house, I would go nuts in about three hours.

Aww leeann, your poor baby! Hope he feels better soon.
In other dog news (I know, that's all I can talk about now) Zoey slept on DD's bed last night. All night. And this morning she cried, and cried when we dropped her off at school. It's love! Haha.
Today I'm preparing for a road trip to TN. By myself. With the dog. I'm insane, I know. But H's work schedule this week has him at the office like 12-14 hours a day and wouldn't be able to take care of her. So, off we go! ETA: tagging
I paid no attention to how much gas I had in my car this morning until I got to work and my gas light came on. I'm annoyed. Gas is like 20 cents more expensive near my work than it is in my hometown. I live too far to make it home on the gas I have.
Apparently Morgan is already popular at daycare - they were all fighting over having her on their primary care list because she's so chill. At drop off she's the only kid not crying. I know it won't last for forever but I'm going to enjoy it for now
I have got to find my motivation to work again! It's been missing for a few days and I have stuff to get done but no motivation to do it. I should be all excited about work because I just got a big raise - ugg, just need to crack down on myself.
candreco, I'm so sorry. I deeply sympathize -- we had to basically throw the nanny into the job and walk away. It sucks.
CONSTANT communication is what I recommend (w/in reason). I told our nanny it just helped us feel more comfortable, and she liked that she could ask questions at any time. We texted a lot.
Yay Natalie! I hope things stay smooth for her puddle.
I am in the waiting room at what I hope is my last dr appointment. Had my NST which was very uneventful, now waiting for an ultrasound. I am kind of hoping they strip my membranes today. I'm sick of doing all this and being pregnant the only thing I have going on lol
Day three of eating detox is really helping. I had so much energy yesterday. After work, I was able to do a full 60 min workout and get about 4 hours worth of costuming complete. After this show on the 20th I will have enough money put aside to hire the lawyer and get everything started.
I lost hearing in my left year around noon yesterday and it hasn't returned. I've had a cold for 8 days now and nothing seems to be working. I'm thinking I should probably go see the Dr soon.
Leo is obsessed with balls. He walks around saying "baaa baaa baaa" while pointing at the one or two balls in his hands. All he does is walk around looking for his other balls. I guess the ball is now his security item lol.
I am so happy. It is another early out today (7th early out we have had this school year if anyone is keeping track. Fuck you weather) and I DON"T HAVE TO PICK UP JACK. YAAAAY! He is driving me nuts. It isn't his fault, but omg less alone time stuck in my office or at home please.
This better be the last fucking early out due to 100 degree weather. I live in Iowa FFS.

Thanks! I AM comforted by the fact that DD is pretty independent, knows her own routine and needs and can communicate them well, and also loves to help take care of DS. I'm hoping that her being around will ease the transition for DS since she is by far his favorite person in the world right now. The transition for DD will be easier, I think, because for her this is a new person to play with and show off all of her stuff to, lol. I'm sure you hear this a lot, but I seriously can't imagine doing this with twin babies. At least DD can report back to me how the day went.
DS has been going through separation anxiety and its been horrible. Yesterday he didn't nap until 2:30, then he was NICE to me last night. I got to play with him instead of just trying to get him to stop screaming. He went down for the night with no problems even though he wasn't super super drowsy. Maybe we've turned the corner?
Also we don't have cable but DH found a way to watch Monday night football and was super happy. I mentioned to him that this time next year if we are successful in moving to Michigan we could take all three kids to a Lions game (we've never have the girls during football season). He said he would take the girls if they want to go but Henry is going either way because "he won't know if he will grow to like it". Ughhhh I did not think my DH would be like this. I hope Henry likes football (he was really into it last night lol), if not this may become an issue between DH and I as Henry gets older.

Aw, little kid handwriting is so cute!
I've officially been exclusively pumping for 8 weeks. I thought if I could make it through maternity leave, it would be easier once I go back to work. Now I'm realizing I'll already have less time with DS, and I'll have to pump at least twice during my precious time with him.
So now I REALLY just want to go ahead and quit now, so I can enjoy the rest of my maternity leave with my baby and pain-free nipples!
Tuesday is one of the days we take our dog for doggy daycare and today was the first time I took her since vacation. I was worried she wouldn't be excited because the last time I dropped her off it was for boarding. She hopped right out of the car and ran to the door. It made me happy that she was still happy to go.
I know how lame all of that sounds because she is a dog and I don't know what I'm going to do about leaving kids when we have them.
