-I feel like I'm betraying AndyCohen but I think I'm going to order the LON gold dot sheets bc there is a cyber monday sale. I know you think it's too much white andddd you're probably right but I feel like they are more neutral in color and will go better. And they come in a toddler set. Ahh! I still don't know what comforter I'll do for V, maybe something non-white since there will be a lot of white.
-Violet is a baby/child who needs a lot of sleep. A 3 hour nap is pretty standard for her and sometimes it goes a bit beyond that. I think I am in for a MAJOR shock with baby R. I get so much done during nap time!
These are not the gold ones you showed me are they? Did you get that teal with white dot sheet on PB clearance as a backup?
I think they are?? Why, do you not despise them? lol And NO I did not get the PB ones and they are gone now. Waaahh! But the LON sheets are semi reasonable so it's okay.

I don't know, I don't remember them being metallic. I thought they were just gold color? Whyyyy aren't you getting the pink pattern I love?!?

I have gone back and forth 9 million times. I still love the pink ones but I'm just afraid it will be too much. I have a lot of pattern-y things to hang on the walls and I am just worried! I can't commit. Forgive me!
A needs lots of sleep too. About 11 hours at night and 3 hours worth of naps normally. ( he still takes 2). However, he's been boycotting food and naps the last week, but his language skills have exploded. He's repeating all kinds of "fun" stuff.
I still can't decide if I'm going to paint my new nursery walls peach. I've decided I could either keep the neutral walls and do a peach rug or do peach walls with a neutral rug. I don't think I want peach walls w/ blue rug or blue walls with peach rug like I had originally thought. That is too much color for me. I think it needs to be predominately one color and neutral with accents of the second color.
I don't think it would be too much color!
Love always, the girl who has designed the most colorful nursery of all time.

-Christmas cards are almost ready to mail! <)
It's no-nap Monday up in here. I don't know how I'd handle another.
And I'll be anxiously waiting by my mailbox for my card, complete with extensive personal message on the back. I'm proud of you that you made it into December before you sent them out!
We got a new-to-us stove today! BFF's mom & stepdad are selling her grandmother's (who passed away last year) condo. They bought new appliances and let us have the old stove. It's about 10 years old, but considering the one we had was at least 20 years old, it is a major improvement. I'm so happy and I haven't even used it yet. Our old one was this dingy off-white/yellow color that never came clean, the new one is white. I love it!
B is in love with the cat, who is finally being more tolerant of B. But B still gets too pushy/touchy with the cat and the cat will take swats at B maybe once a day. She does it with claws in, so it just startles B it doesn't scratch her. Well, about 20 min ago she got pissed at B again and swatted her face with claws out. Scared the bejesus out of B, but didn't draw blood (I keep her claws very short). I'm feeling mommy guilt.
Confession: I haven't bought B anything for Christmas/Hanukkah. And I probably won't. A big part of it is that I don't want to spend the money. The other reason is that I don't think she needs that many toys. I feel like a terrible mother because I'm not willing to spend major bucks on toys for her. And toys aren't supposed to be "needed". They're supposed to be fun. So either I feel like shit for not buying her anything, or I feel like shit because I've spent money that would be better saved and cluttered up our small house. It's a no-win.
I'm dreading the holidays this year. I haven't been able to nail down why. I think I'm waiting for a shoe to drop somewhere and I don't know why.
I had the bright idea to just cook a Stouffers lasagna for dinner. Well, I didn't get home until a bit later than usual. Now dinner won't be ready until 7. Mom fail. Baby may get leftover meatballs because she will surely be starving as soon as she and H get home.

Both girls have been napping for 2.5 hours (because C1 is sick ) and all I've done is shop online, read, watch an episode of Big Love and eat Ritz crackers.
I just left the OB and I only have 5 more dr appts until I have this baby! Ahhhh!
We are having babies... NEXT MONTH.
My husband told me this yesterday and I had to hold back tears. I have such a range of emotions about it. I've been contracting regularly for the last day but I guess it's BH's?? I didn't have them with C.
There is a chick in my class who ALWAYS sit in the doorway. We sit horseshoe style but there are empty desks everywhere. I have always noticed her sitting there but today I am sitting across from her and I cannot stop wondering why the shit she always sits there. She constantly has to move for people going to the bathroom or whatever. Just, WHY would you sit there?
Just put L in her crib. Man the HFM blisters really popped out today . She's been a little angel believe it or not. H stayed home with her and she was amazing today for him and I barely came out of my office to help.
A hated Santa. It was hilarious and I love the pics we got. They gave us two free ones because they were great.
A has a bit of a diaper rash, so before pajama time we let him run around naked. He was happily playing in his tent while we put the tree up. He came running out of his room covered in poop. So awesome.

OMG I am having a terrible day. I drove north to go to the ob. Nasty yeast infection. Drive south to go get Viv and they tell me her whole class was sent home with coxsackie. She is burning up. I take her back north and she starts shaking and zoning out, so I call the dr and back south we go.
Get her fever down, dr days no dc for the rest of the week. Come back north to my parents house and the fing heat is not working in my room. OH and I asked my mom to go to the pharmacy for me and I gave her $$. She somehow spent $40 on one bottle of pedialyte and 2 ice cream bars (I asked for Popsicles). And she left my fucking vagina cream out on the kitchen table. Ahhhhh!!!!
Sorry. I just really needed to get that out. Now I need to go figure out what I'm going to do about work.
I love PBS. I often wonder if they make programming specifically for me, lol. I'm currently watching a documentary about Jews and musical theatre. I love Jewish history! I love musical theatre!

Oh man, I hope those ice cream bars are for you my dear.
Lillian has HFM right now, is that coxsackie? Thought I remembered reading it. Hoping you all feel better soon!
