DS2 is sick and woke up every hour last night. I slept for about 20 mins total. And I have a client meeting today. I can't leave him with the sitter sick, so I have to call the client and hope she doesn't mind me bringing him. Ugh. I'm so tired.
I'm officially no longer able to sleep in a comfortable position. I'm down to left side until it hurts, right side until it hurts, left side again. It's going to be a long 3 months.
I ordered 4 pairs of shoes from the Ralph Lauren sale last week. I pulled up their size chart, and then used the SKR size chart to figure out what size to order. SKR size 6 = RL size 8. Except, the shoes showed up yesterday and no. They are HUGE. I am annoyed that I have to figure out how to fix this now.
We went through three days of fussy hell and so far this morning J is no longer a fussy mess! Let's hope this stays.
I have to go dress shopping today. I've got a formal event and a wedding coming up. Of course nothing in my closet fits. I can't wait for the formal. I love an excuse to get all dressed up and my moms coming down to babysit
Thanks for the well wishes for my dad on Tuesday, all.
Following up on my dad's surgery. It went well in the sense that they got the mass w/o taking the whole kidney (just small pieces). They did a biopse and we're waiting to hear if it's cancer. His bloodpressure dropped during the surgery. They wanted to keep him sedated over night but he knocked out his intubation tube. He's in the ICU and in a lot of pain.
I'm concerned for my mom and trying to keep her mellow. She ended up sleeping in the waiting room b/c there were no hotel rooms nearby (she thought she'd be rested enough to drive home or back to NJ). She got side swiped driving home yesterday too. So just a rough few days for her. She has a hard time seeing dad so hobbled, and my dad doesn't want her making the long drive to visit (she had a heart attack from stress in her mid 50s).
The docs seems concerned about my dad but not alarmed. I'm not sure what is normal at this point. The BP thing is concerning - would they tell you he almost died on the table? Like how low did it go? Mom thinks dad will be in the hospital for a while.
Any docs/nurses want to weigh in? ETA: My dad just called my mom - he's doing better today! He may actually eat real food this afternoon and was able to stand up. Yay! Still in the ICU...
It appears that we were not invited to my BIL's step-son's graduation party. Which is odd b/c we were invited to the other step-son's. We would be more than happy to go and give him a card with some cash in it, but it seems that my BIL has drawn a line.
I always had hopes that between the drama of BIL's daughter last year and the birth of E, priorities might shift, but it looks like things are worse. These people call themselves Christians and then act the way they do and treat people so poorly.
The worst part of all of this is DH blames himself. Was it him not being good enough? Was it him going away to college while BIL tooled away at an apprentice school close to home? It is because BIL has already pulled away from the family and DH is an easy target?
I'm in complete denial. Mr. Kirkette is leaving for the airport. He'll be gone 5 days, for a half marathon. That's the longest we'll have been apart in 7 years.
I hate how little patience I have while solo parenting. it's hard enough being a sahm while H is working 10-12 hr days here, but I haaaate being on duty 24 hrs a day for days on end while he's on business trips. J is totally testing my patience now that he's a pro at getting into everything.

I desperately need work clothes yet I am browsing online for cute summer tops. Ones I know I will wear once or twice max this summer. I wish I had all the money.
simpsongal, my 4-6 month old ate about 14-16 oz a day at daycare- he was there 9 hours a day approximately. Now at 8 months he eats around 12-14 oz, I think because of solids.
@hannymaren my daughter gets really mad during the parts of Daniel Tiger with the real kids. She ONLY wants to see her buddy Danny. She starts screaming ALL DONE! ALL DONE! or STUCK! STUCK! during the real kid parts, lol. Toddlers are so weird.
I have strep. I have been ridiculously sick since Saturday night. Parenting is so hard when you can't even really take care of yourself. My husband is doing the best he can, but I am still up at night to nurse. I am at work for the first time this week and I just want to go home and sleep.
I never really feel good when I'm on antibiotics, so it looks like I'll be all better just in time for the long weekend.

I feel the same way. I was up from like 2-4 last night cuz I couldn't get comfortable.

Perfect! Thank you! That's what I thought. His intake is slowly increasing and I wanted to make sure I would be able to keep up. I'm pumping between 16-20/day.
CloudBee when is Atlantis? I am looking at Harborside condos on vrbo and it looks amazing. Can't wait for a trip report
Sept. We're staying at Harborside.
We're in the midst of planning our first baby-free trip for July. Switzerland, Iceland (return for us), and Glasgow are contenders. I'm pushing for Switzerland!

If you flu Iceland air to Europe you could do a few days layover in Iceland,

That suuuuux. I hope you get some R&R this weekend. Can you pump a little so DH can give bottle? Do you have a sitter/family that can give you and your DH a few hours off?

Not cloudbee, but we own at Harborside. We take a family trip there once a year, and it's a great place to go with kids. The daily shuttle goes to the local grocery store where you can fully stock your kitchen. It's also nice staying there as you can easily walk (or shuttle ride) to the main Atlantis area, but also have a smaller, quieter pool area at Harborside.

Any recs for a comb or brush for tight curls? DD has tight springy curls and they tend to get matted overnight, but brushing them out gives her a massive frizzy ball of hair.
H and I are leaving DS tonight for the first time to go to a concert. I thought I'd be all breezy about it, but I'm really nervous, particularly with N's reflux issues. It will be fun though, I might just need to have a drink and relax

My supply is struggling as I just finished my first PP period and then got sick, so I felt it was necessary to keep nursing him anytime he wanted it. Hopefully it picks back up once I am eating normally again.
My parents have offered to come out and I may take them up on it this weekend. I need to talk to my husband.
