I'm dreading this weekend, DH has family coming into town and we have to much shit to do to get ready for vacation than deal with being fake nice to the IL's.
I've sold half of my consignment stuff and the public sale starts tonight! Woot for $$$!
I fell into the Panera breakfast sandwich trap again. It's so bad that I can basically see it fr our house. I need to shop for an Italy related bridal shower gift for my FSIL and so far all I have is local pasta. I'm stumped.
tulips DD3 had HFM too, seems to be okay now, glad you're no longer dealing with it. I am very hopeful that DD1, DD2 or DH and I don't get it. . but we're on high alert, lol. Even DD2s teachers at daycare check her daily for spots, etc. because they know DD3 got it.
DH started a new job 3 weeks ago, but he's also been in the process of interviewing with another company that is closer to home and the position is more to what he's used to and likes to do. The current job is more of a project management role rather than hands on, as well as it requires making weekly trips into NYC (not known at time of interview). He's hoping to get the offer from the other company today. I just want him to finally settle down, this will be his 4th job in 5 years.
Ugh, I'm having one of those days where I just hate everyone and everything. I need to just stay at my desk and avoid the world.
DS was up 5 times last night. He just finished his antibiotic for his ear infection on Tuesday and I'm not convinced the ear infection is actually cleared. He doesn't have an ear check for another 3 weeks. I have a feeling we'll be back at the pediatrician in the next few days. I hate feeling like a crazy hypochondriac Mom, but he can't tell me how he feels, he doesn't get a fever with his EIs, and is rarely cranky. All I have to go on is disturbed sleep & occassionally tugging at the ear (which he sometimes does when he's tired, so WhoTF knows). But his first tooth is coming through so it could be that too. I feel like I've been pushing Motrin/Tylenol non-stop.... that can't be good after a while.

Good luck, @marshmallows.
I was wanting to get up at 4 today to do some work and clean up a bit before company this weekend. LO-freaking L. I got up at 6:20, 40 minutes later than usual even.
I'm running a 5K on Saturday and can't even run 2 miles right now. Think I have time to train?

I have such a busy day planned. I'm going to bring Nods to my mom's House. Try grocery shopping with the baby, come home for lunch, then head to the chiropractor, because my pelvis still hurts a ton after labor.
I'm sitting in a parking lot. I thought this committee meeting was at 9:00 but it's at 9:30. I don't want to go in yet because I'm sure they're scrambling to get the room set up since the building just opened at 9. I'll go in soon to scope out their children's set up - I love looking around other libraries, lol. #geek

If the couple likes to cook, a cookbook from Lidia Bastianich would be nice, maybe along w/some cooking items (and fresh pasta, towels, wine, etc.). I really like making gift baskets for showers, particularly b/c they're presented beautifully and don't require opening
Last night wasn't good. I cried from 2-4 when she wouldn't sleep. I kinda think I have PPD but I also think if i could just sleep I would feel better.
I'm sorry - nights can be so tough. Try to get a day or some good hours to yourself to just relax and take care of yourself. Get a mani/pedi, take a bubble bath, just lay on the couch. If you think you have PPD, don't hesitate to see your doc (OBGYN or regular). The ladies on here are a great resource too.

I need to whine...
My month-long sore throat is showing no signs of clearing up anytime soon, and I am exhausted from being on day 11 of work with no break. I have another work trip from the 9th-13th, and if I am still sick I will be so so furious. To top it off, H pulled a muscle or pinched a nerve or something last week and we're both beyond uncomfortable and grumpy. It's making things not very fun at home right now.
Apparently the in laws introduced ds to Frozen last night and he loves it. I guess dh and I will have to watch it a few times now... I hear that's how it goes
We're just hanging around the house waiting for our little guy to get dropped off sometime soon. It's been really weird being kid free and independent for this long. Dh and I also somehow managed to mostly have adult conversations that did not revolve around the topics of ds and budgeting. Go us! Lol.
It is 9:30 and A is still sleeping. She has been horribly whiny and overtired lately, so hopefully this will help. I need to figure out something fun to do today. I am struggling to get out of the house lately, and it isn't fair to the kids. I need to push through until the 7th(I finally made an appointment to deal with depression/anxiety).
Oh hi. I'm 40 w, 1d pregnant. I was up from 2-4 am with semi-strong, semi-regular contractions. DH implored me to go back to bed so I'd be well rested. Next thing I know, my alarm is going off at 8 am and all contractions have stopped.
I seriously don't care if I have to be pregnant for another week or more, but the sporadic contractions are turning me into a crazy person.

DH has a work trip scheduled for 3 weeks after my due date. Which means I could have a 1 week old. He won't have to go if he's on paternity leave (2 weeks) but I'm kind of freaking out about shuttling 2 kids to/from 2 different schools w/ a 2 week 1 day old, not to mention getting myself showered and the big kids ready to go by myself. What if I have a c-section? Would I even be able to drive at that point?
You guys have no idea how terrible I look after 3+ months of not dying it. I look like the hippie art teacher from grade school. Or just like a crazy person. Or someone who's given up. I AM NONE OF THOSE THINGS. I just want allll of the chemicals on my head right now so I can feel pretty again, pleaseadnthankyou.
Kick ass, @marshmallows!
Hang in there, @anna7202. That would drive me nuts, too.
I am already at 40 hours for this week. I was up past midnight on Sunday and Tuesday nights. Then dd woke up with the random screams at 430am, so I brought her to bed with me. She laid in bed and jabbered until I out her back in her crib at 5:30. My alarm went off at 6:10 and I said nope! We're having a sleep in morning.
tulips C seemed to be in much better spirits this morning. His rash is looking better too. He started to get a few blisters on his hands and feet yesterday, but he didn't seem bothered by them so far. Here's hoping we got a mild case! Glad X is feeling better!
