Tuesday MOTN/evening randoms

[Brie]

My H found out this afternoon that he had to do a deposition 2.5 hours away from home at 6 pm.  So annoying.  He MIGHT be home around midnight.  Ugh.   I'm annoyed because it's super hot and I'm nauseous and I don't want to walk the dog.  

Because of the vacation schedules at daycare C is in the 2 year old room a lot this week.  He loves it, which is great because he'll probably move up in a month or two, but he doesn't want to leave.  I have to drag him out kicking and screaming.  It's fun.

DD and I watched another American Girl movie together tonight. Part of me died a little that Ian Ziering (of 90210) was cast as the dad.

Bragplaint: O has slept in the last three days, but this comes with just two weeks of summer left. He woke every day in the five o clock hour last week, so I guess he's making up for that !

I got a prescription for estrogen cream. I really hope it fixes my broken body .

This really, really helped me both times ( two separate issues). I hope you are feeling relief soon!

Should I be concerned with how tired my baby is?
She went to bed at 8:45 last night. Slept soundly. Woke up at 4:50a (a bit earlier than usual but only by 30m).
At daycare, she slept from 6:30-9:00, sleeping through her 8:00 meal. Then again from 12:30-3:10. Now (5:45) she is falling asleep while eating.

Normal? Weird?

Dd has been crying for almost two hours and I'm not sure why she has farted and burped but if she's not sitting up she cries. I'm not sure what to do. I'm trying to get her to burp.

Sometimes DD is only happy sitting outside. Can you try that?

[MadamePresident]

My husband is awesome. He delivers my baby and he delivers me ice cream. We live in a 2 story house and I'm still feeling a little weak, so I will go downstairs and camp out for the day. He is so good about running up to bring things down and down to bring things up. I feel so bad asking him to do stuff for me all the time, but he is so sweet about it.

Confession: this amber teething necklace is on its way to my house.....

I can't remember how many times I've made negative comments about them here and rolled my eyes IRL. Apparently I'll try anything for more sleep.

(Except for go to bed earlier. Lol)

[laurenh]

I'm going to be a debbie downer - today was a crap day. We had to put our dog down after basically no sleep for anyone last night, and pregnancy insomnia has been so bad the last several nights so I'm trying not to fall asleep before 9:30 even though I just want to pass out. I'm dreading bringing DD downstairs tomorrow morning and having her ask for the dog.

[anna7602]

I'm really sorry about your dog, laurenh. ((Hugs.))

I can't remember if you posted about the insomnia on the GP board, but magnesium supplements really helped me when I had bad pregnancy insomnia around 6 months.

I'm on vacation! I no longer work at my terrible job! I am drunk, lol. I got a bud light mangorita and it was 25 oz. You crazy Americans and your giant beverages. I got 2, but h said probably I should stop at 1.

Also, @starry, I got steak instead of chicken at Chipotle due to your poll and it was not as good as chicken. I blame you! Lol but not really, it was still pretty delicious. I also bought stoner food at wegmans and ate half a bag of mint m&ms.

I am so jealous of you right now it's ridiculous.

[cincodemayo]

I'm sorry laurenh.

[laurenh]

Thanks ladies. It was definitely time, just a sad day.

anna7602 thanks for the tip! I actually have a bottle of calcium magnesium supplements. Any idea what dosage you took?

I actually searched on this board for anecdotes and saw that you said this before. It is very encouraging... I really hope this does it because the next step is surgery!

Well, for my second pp recovery I actually had to have a surgery AND the silver nitrate...which ended up being the greatest relief. Pm me if you want to chat about it

[rugbywife]

sorry laurenh

@vicmo you made me laugh…happy you are happy.

DD is down, she went down earlier than usual. I am fairly certain I need to start caring/being strict about nap times because I feel like it is probably better for her, but I am not used to structuring our whole schedule around her - I know, that is the definition of parenthood.

[Deleted]

Apparently DH needed the massage more than me. He is a ball of nerves about having a second baby potentially and harping on insignificant crap. Great timing!

Oh, @vicmo, I am so jealous! Enjoy. And sorry, laurenh. Hugs to you.

I got a FT job offer today at my company (I'm currently there 3 days/week in a support role)! They offered me a department manager position. When they initially asked about my interest and offered a salary, I countered them and said I wanted more, BUT I wanted to spend time in the department first (transferring from another team) to get to know the ins and outs before I made any decisions. So that's what I've done for the past 2 months, and today they made their final offer and I'm pretty happy with it. It will certainly be a lifestyle change to go full-time and daycare costs will increase a little bit, but my salary will essentially double what it is now. I'm pretty excited.

This time last year, I had recently quit my job as a teacher because of the way my contract was handled. I contacted one of the owners of my current company to ask for a reference (I worked there during/right after college and left to become a teacher), which he provided but I didn't have any luck finding a job. Then in November, he called out of the blue and wanted to know if I would be interested in returning there to work there. From there, they kept trying to get me to work more hours, but I said I would only consider full-time if I was offered a leadership opportunity. So here I am. I am so glad I asked for what I wanted.

My car was not really accelerating today and the check engine light was on, so H ran the code and it seems to be a transmission issue My car is 12 years old but has never had any major issues, and it's not the greatest timing after N's medical bills and my unpaid leave. Hopefully it's not too bad!

[barefootcontessa]

I dread going to sleep now because of my herniated disc. I usually wake up with pain, have to take more vicodin and hope I get back to sleep. Then in the morning I am like the tinman, barely able to move. I am going to give PT a couple of more weeks and then seriously start thinking about the surgery.

Way to lean in, t!

H just offered to wear a turtleneck to muffle the sound of his gulping. :/

[Yankees21]

So sorry laurenh

I read this whole post with a slur.

[statlerwaldorf]

DS completely refused to nurse this evening. He was nursing well all day, but when the evening came he kept latching, sucking for a couple seconds, and then pulling off while crying.

[everafter07]

So sorry laurenh.

We are OAD and I dropped off a ton of donations to a women's charity today. I feel good, but I misted up a little, too. Feel bad for my male coworker that came to help me unload, ha.

[waterchurch]

I bought strawberry fruit leather at the store today because of the random thread. Yum.

Did you see the segment on John Oliver's show about this? According to him, Sesame Street though it was necessary because so many Americans are in prison. 1 in 100 if I remember correctly. The most of any country in the world. 

I didn't, I just ran across it when I was looking for Sesame apps for C. Huh.
