So now I know why losing weight was so easy for me in the last two years. I had gotten into the bad habit of almost never exercising and just eating whatever because I wasn't gaining any weight. Turns out it was my effing Zoloft Rx! I've been weaning off it over the last month and I am so frustrated. I do 40 minutes on the elliptical every day now and I eat way less and more healthily than I ever did before and I'm still gaining weight! I am so pissed at myself. And somewhat tempted to stay on it just for the weight loss benefits, lol. Plus it doesn't help that I can feel myself getting grumpier and more snappish without it, although I'm not sure if that is some kind of (reverse?) placebo affect. But I don't want to be dependent on it for the rest of my life. I feel like screaming.
Last night at dinner H mentioned kid #2. We JUST had #1! DH is off his rocker if he thinks #2 is coming soon.
Haha, that's a brave husband!. #1 has scared my DH into wanting to be one and done. We'll see if that lasts.
DS is being a fussy mess again. I had 3 glorious days of a happy baby with good naps and now we're back to where we started. Starting to look forward to going back to work next week. But then I feel kinda bad that I'm so willing to leave my baby. I don't want to leave him, just the fussy parts!
When we were getting ready to leave this morning, DD said, "No daycare. Me work? Me go Mama work?" I normally don't feel working mom guilt, but that kind of broke my heart.

I had an incident with an aggressive driver in a Ford F-250 this morning. Both my kids were with me, so it makes it that much more upsetting.
Idiot was in a company truck with the logo on the side. Whether anything comes of it or not, it gave me great satisfaction and pleasure calling the company and reporting his ass.

We're going through a fussy stage too. I'm calling it a growth spurt (to keep my sanity). I told H he can talk about #2 when #1 is self sufficient
She has ear tube surgery tomorrow morning and I'm dreading it. Mostly that she can't eat because she is READY TO EAT every morning as soon as she wakes up.
Good luck to your DD (and you too). She'll feel so much better once it done!

I drank the freaking Arbonne kool-aid last night. I bought $200 worth of face creams and washes. And then got major anxiety about it. Argh. I NEED new clothes but keep spending my free cash on crap.
Last night at dinner H mentioned kid #2. We JUST had #1! DH is off his rocker if he thinks #2 is coming soon.
Last night as we were cleaning up the kitchen after dinner, H says "I'm thinking February". I was all "huh? February for what?" And he says to get pregnant with #2. His reasoning? So that I'm not super pregnant in the dead of summer again. Lol, at least he is thinking about me. J just turned 9 months. Baby 2 isn't on my radar yet but obviously it's on his!
I have a standing weekly play date with a friend. It started when she was going through bit of a rough patch so I have always hosted. She's doing great now but it's still always at my house. . I mean, I don't really mind, but I kinda do? It'd be nice to not have to clean the whole first floor every Wednesday morning (and it's de-stroyed when she leaves so that sucks. Completely wasted effort lol.)
Turns out the perfect time for DD's swim lessons just happens to be Wednesday mornings. I kinda feel bad. We're going to try and restart the play dates on Fridays in May, and we're meeting at the zoo.
Also, the gym child care had to come get me in the pool last night. DH and I took the two older kids and the baby was ready for a snooze so I assumed he'd be fine chilling in a swing in the gym daycare. Not so much. I'm going to put DS1 in childcare this morning and just wear the baby to observe DD's first swim lesson. Don't want to push him too much.

Warning poop related
DS is still have non solid poop. It has been a week. It is no longer liquid but it is still soft and not plopable. I just want polpable poo back. I am tired of cleaning poo off diapers! Also, DS used to poop at daycare but he has been using the potty there and keeps his diaper dry all day. So now he poops before he leaves and when he gets home. Thanks for saving your poop for me kid.
I bought what should be an embarrassing amount of Zutano clothes, booties, and hats from Amazon yesterday. DS wears mostly hand-me downs from his cousin and I somehow feel guilty for not putting him in new clothes. So new clothes it is!
Last night at dinner H mentioned kid #2. We JUST had #1! DH is off his rocker if he thinks #2 is coming soon.
DH talked about having kid #2 quickly starting when DD was 6 weeks old. He talked about it constantly until she was 6 months. When I was actually willing to entertain the idea, he suddenly wasn't interested in any sex. Men have weird baby making hormones too.
I was sitting here wracking my brain, I know I had a good confession and I finally remembered what it was. I love the day AFTER we have sex. It's the only day I know I won't be bugged for sex, so I can skip a shower and lounge around the house in yoga pants and eat junk food because hey I just put out!

#1 was all me pushing. Now he's pushing. I'm not even cleared to have sex yet ... Slow down H, slow down.

At my 12 week appt yesterday the OB couldn't find the heartbeat with the doppler so she did a quick ultrasound. She was so excited because she got a great view and we could see the baby wiggling and see the legs, arms and even hands. Afterward, she even told the nurse to go peak at the picture she got!
BUT I had been trying to decide if I should tell my boss tomorrow at our meeting and he just moved the meeting to this afternoon so I am freaking about whether or not to tell. I was originally going to wait until after vaca which would be 15 weeks but it might be too obvious by then. Why does this make me SO DAMN NERVOUS!?!
Here's a flammable confession for you: I don't like Disney. I don't know why, I just don't. I've only seen a handful of Disney movies during childhood and I went to Disneyworld once for a few hours when I was in the 6th grade. I often wonder how long I can keep DD from being obsessed with all things Disney...
Sitting with you on the the total dislike of Disney bandwagon. I can't even remember what Disney movies I have seen. I vaguely remember Toy Story (the 1st one) and Sherk (if that is even Disney).

Flight tonight. So nervous about how DD will do.
Turns out, H's uncle and aunt aren't leaving until tomorrow afternoon, so we're going straight from the airport to their house for an hour or so. Not ideal, but at least we get to see them

Nooooooo! Do not encourage MLMs/pyramid schemes!!!!!!
Remember that hill to die on thread? I couldn't think of anything at the time, but this is my hill.
I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW! I HATE thirty one, tupperware, lia sophia, all that jazz. Told my husband I shouldn't go to the party. Knew I would spend at least $50 on face stuff because I have terrible skin and will try anything. They felt so good on my skin, I just spent the money without thinking!
All while getting a nice little message about how great it is to have a white Mercedes gifted to you just for selling skincare!!!
I'm starting to get excited about feeding my kid some solids but I don't think she is ready yet. Last night I told H we should sit at the table to eat dinner with her in her high chair so she can start to get it. Lol.
We did this with E starting at 2m, she still wasn't interested in food until after 5m, but she loved sitting up with us. She mostly "talked" to us during dinner.
The whole ML thread thing was so weird to me b/c I wasn't really even a lurker during the JLM thing, but the otter thing, man some people just suck. I could never take things knowing I was ungrateful and the SS exchange BS. Oh I would have blown her out of the water if I was the organizer.
Ughhhh I forgot to pay off our Home Depot promotional balance ($1000) by the end of the promotion and they backcharged me $600 of interest! I am so pissed and am going to call them today to see if they can reverse it.
I'm whining because no one wants to buy my cloth diapers. They're sitting in a bag taking up space. I don't want them anymore.. someone buy them from me. Nesting hormones make me want to purge everything.
If I didn't have a stupid HE washer, I would buy your gender neutral ones. We tried CDing, but they never got clean. UGH

Both my kids stopped pooping at daycare when they were 2-ish. Thanks kids!
DS has his worst night of sleep (or lack thereof) ever, last night. He went to bed as usual at 7:30. Woke at 9:30, 10, 12, 2, 2:30, 3:30 & 5:30. I never call in reinforcements from DH because the wake ups are a nursing session with a quick diaper change so it's just faster for me to handle wake ups. But I woke him and DS slept on him from 3:30-5:30. I think DH now wants to be nominated for sainthood for his 2 hour stint. I have zero sympathy.
DS just seemed so miserable, even with Tylenol. He was refusing his paci & doing something weird with his lips/gums, so I think it is teething related. I don't see anything coming in, gums aren't swollen, etc. He had an ear infection less than 2 weeks ago and finished the antibiotics 3 days ago. So maybe the ear infection never really cleared up? I hate to bring him to the pedi to find out he's teething, but it looks like we'll likely make the trip if he's not back to normal.
I found out earlier this week that I could've signed up for Rewards through my corporate American Express. I spend so much money at work, I'm PISSED I didn't realize that I could just pay the $90 a year myself to get the rewards. I would be less than 5000 points away from a free plane ticket to Hawaii.
Does anyone know if Amex will backdate rewards points if I call them? I'm DYING at this.
