It was so sweet of DH to come home early yesterday and surprise me, but I had just gotten the kids down for rest time and entered the easy part of my day, lol.

I've had Starbucks every day this week. Which means j has had a chocolate milk every day this week.

I may have "aided" in finishing one of the paintings for the boy I nanny. His parents love seeing his projects and he just wasn't into it that day.

That's all for now. I'll keep thinking.

I think my sons daycare did this all the time! Let's just say I've never seen him paint or color that well and he generally isn't too into art projects at home.

A watches like 2 hours of tv and eats frozen waffles each morning. All his choice and it lets me probe in peace. Yep....

I let L bring the iPad on our walk Monday evening. I needed to get the dogs out before it rained and I didn't want to deal with a tantrum so he got to watch Mickey in the stroller. I'm pretty sure I got some side-eyes.

I should hear about that job today. Even though I need a job, there's a part of me that doesn't want it, especially now since we've found inexpensive childcare and I'll be able to afford to sub.

Ran into my XSIL this morning at DD. She looks AWFUL. I'm giddy.

I figure, what's two hours out of a very long active day not watching tv. Lol. I did throw an egg breakfast in the mix a few days ago, and gave myself a mom medal for being awesome.

Before my trip to Mexico, I suggested to DH that we take a trip alone for his 40th bday. He got so excited and remains excited. Now with this nausea/motion sickness in addition to missing my kids, I don't think we'll take the trip. I have yet to tell him.

I feel like our SAH experience is exactly the same, except I don't have an older child. I definitely did the egg thing the other day.

Is there an alternative? A shorter trip or something. I just know if I was your DH in this situation I would be very disappointed. I am already looking forward to our kid free anniversary trip in march 2015. 

But I missed the post about the nausea, what happened? 

[abbypug19]

On particularly bad days, after A goes for her nap I'll lock myself in the bathroom with my headphones on for a bit so I can calm down before I go to work. There is usually at least one baby crying. Sometimes I cry too.

I had what was diagnosed as a stomach virus in February.  I'm pretty sure it was/is anxiety because it's still happening.  All my labs were perfect.  I stopped taking Ibuprofen just in case it was that.  I've been taking Lexapro and I don't have constant nausea anymore.  But I still have pretty intense motion sickness if I don't drive.  

The alternative would be to go on a driving trip.  But that's not really the same as an all-inclusive tropical trip. 

I also retain anxiety from the incident where my H barfed all over our hotel room on our honeymoon.  As an emetephobe, that's a biggie.   

He isn't even 39 yet so I'm giving myself time to try to heal before putting the breaks on it.  I also feel like maybe if I take a sleep aid or a heavy dose of anxiety meds prior to the flights, I might be OK?

I grilled chicken yesterday to have for lunch for me and Mel. I'm too lazy to get her to the table to eat it so instead she is having bread with peanut butter. And watching Frozen.


Also, it's 12:30 and we're still in pajamas.

Awesome!! This is one of my many survival tactics. SAH with two energetic boys is no joke at all.

In my defense, it's never going to stop raining! Wah !

And my phone company is Siminn, pronounced semen. I still giggle at that.

Oh goodness, that sucks. When I was 6 I got stomach aches all the time. Mom had me tested for all kinds of stuff. Turns out it was stress from lying to her about eating my lunch. I would say I ate it but threw it out bc I didn't like wheat bread. Once I came clean I felt better. 

I hope you can find a way to manage the anxiety or stress and your nausea goes away, if that is the root cause.

Today I sent Kai to daycare with Mac & cheese leftovers that had been sitting out overnight. I decided that I would eat it, so it's ok, and anyway he's not eating these days so what the hell. That was after I gave him dark chocolate for breakfast.

If you're wondering what that sound is, it's a food angel losing her wings.

[orriskitten]

And another! I always said I'd never shush Mel so the baby can nap. A toddler needs to be a toddler. But he is in such a mood and I've done a lot of shushing. And it did no good. He is up.

Is this a confession - I don't like telling people that I'm pregnant? Except for all of you, of course!

I'm having serious anxiety about telling MIL and my parents about this pregnancy. I told my H that we could tell them after we heard a heartbeat on Wednesday - which we did But we haven't told either of them yet because we didn't have Bs best brother shirt. Well it came in the mail yesterday and I still don't want to tell them. I was like this last time too, I just don't like telling people and then having them constantly ask how I'm feeling or attribute my behavior to the pregnancy.

This weekend the fire department in the next town over is doing a toll booth fundraiser. Basically they set up a booth in the middle of the busiest road and stop every car asking for donations.

This makes me rage! We have to drive through that town to get to Target. I wouldn't mind donating to the fire department - it's obviously very important, but I hate being forced to wait in traffic.

Our fire departments do Fill A Boot and it's my favorite fundraiser.

They do this in our area too.

G eats microwaved pancakes while he watches two hours of tv every morning. I gave up.

I don't think I'm following any food rules this pregnancy. Well, I'm not drinking, so there's that. But I eat deli meat, drink coffee, and haven't thought twice about cheeses or raw eggs in dressing or cookie dough.

[formerlyllizzyb]

G goes to MDO tues/thurs from 9:30-2:30.
I wish it was 8:30 to 3:30. Summer days are long, yo.

His fall program will be 9:05-2:35, MW. I'm so glad, because he's such an early riser that I run out of ways to entertain him in the mornings before school.

[dixeedeluxe]

We watch lots of TV. I grew up watching lots of TV. LOTS more than my kids seem to. I was talking to my mom yesterday and we decided it's what taught me to multitask. Now I can watch TV and do anything at the same time. But that has rolled over into non TV things.

HAHA

Oh my gosh, this would irritate the shit out of me. I would never donate to the FD again just on principle.

I was like this as well. Although it was more paranoia because I had no symptoms so I was constantly under the assumption I would lose her. I made my H wait to tell anyone (even family) until the ultrasound at 12 weeks. I allowed him to tell just his sister at 8 weeks because he was driving me crazy. His parents were in down from 6-8 weeks and I went on vacation with my mom during week 9 and none of them knew.
