Tuesday morning randoms

[nannerl]

Still pregnant.

Really thought I was going to go yesterday. Has my membranes stripped for the second time and was having lots of contractions all afternoon and evening. Went to bed and they faded away. So now I'm just tired and sore.

If my H claims emergency morning poop and we have someplace to be I confiscate all phones, iPads, newspapers, magazines, and books. Man poop duration = 15 minutes. I literally don't have patience for that shit!

I'm ch at you frisking his pockets before he goes in.

My kid is being unbelievably sweet and adorable this morning. I love it.

My niece was sick alongside of my kids. We'd had them together because they all seemingly had the same gross virus. Adeline was grumpy but hasn't had a fever in a while. Niece has been on augmentin for her cold.

Today niece has another low-grade fever and I feel responsible. But first of all, my sister was feeding niece from Edie's cup. Weird. Second, Adeline didn't have a fever and if we kept them away from each other for sniffles, we'd never see anyone.

They are going back to the doctor for another round of abx. This only strengthens my confidence that it's a virus and no abx are needed! I stayed strong!

UM, I told H and he's really angry because niece could have passed things on to MY kids.  I never even thought of that.  Camping this weekend.

I mean, my sister was holding Edie's cup feeding it to niece.

I've never frisked his pockets, but you'd better believe I've forcibly removed an iPad (and the subsequent book he tried to pick up!) from him.

This morning is Andrew's preschool welcome party. I will not cry. I will not cry. I will not cry.

[rainbowchip]

I take long poops. I have a hard time getting started and I never feel done so I tend to sit for longer trying to go but not being productive. I always have a book with me so sometimes I know I won't go anymore but I sit and finish the chapter.

My child has never been attached to an object. Never needed anything for sleeping or comfort. Until now.

He is in love with matchbox cars. He sleeps with them. He strokes them. He lovingly cares for them. He just melted down because they can't go to school with them. He begged me to "watch truck! Don't lose them!"

Caleb hasn't either; instead, he chooses to be attached to me and his pacifiers. He always has to have a spare pacifier in his hand.

I'm filling out the patient information forms for the maternal and fetal medicine center we're getting our anatomy scan done at tomorrow. I know we only have to go as a precaution because my H has a mild case of spina bifida occulta, but it still makes me uneasy.

[dixeedeluxe]

I really hate to break this to you guys. My H doesn't even have a smartphone and he's still in there forever.

[tennisgal]

I heard Celine Dion's "It's all coming back" this morning on the drive in. I *might* have been singing along at the top of my lungs. I also might have gotten a few stares/laughs from people in neighboring cars. At least the windows were closed though.

do we need to find a Zumba class or go for a hike?

Eggplant? Pineapple? I'm sorry, mama.

I made an amazing Spinach and Quinoa salad on Sunday night that was supposed to last me (as lunches) through Wednesday. I took a double portion for today and skipped the crackers it's supposed to be served with because it was so damn good, I ate it up with a spoon.

PB&J tomorrow, I guess.

I am 11 hours from home. I want to turn around and do this trip all over again.

[PatBenatar]

My H just found out he's getting a raise! Yay! Now I have we're in the money in my head.

I've been obsessed with reading Days of our Lives message boards lately. Maybe this is a confession.

We are in this stage too. He took some to bed last night

Awww nannerl. I feel like Pinto is the most chill baby ever. I hope things start happening soon!

I mean Abby is in the wrong for sure buuut Sami is taking this too far. I mean, she's always been an impulsive bitch, but this is a whole new level of bitch. I'm pissed about Will's article too. Partially that he wrote it at all, but mainly that Abby's name was thrown in there against his knowledge.

[creamsiclechica]

nannerl, sending you sweet labor vibes! My gosh, you haven't even COMPLAINED. You're a miracle!

Carter has a full blown cold and it's so sad and miserable, but also hard to do anything. Between this and the ridiculous heat, I feel like we've been trapped doing nothing with way too much TV. I think we'll be doing a messy craft day or somethig because I'm going a little nuts.

So I'm seriously worried about potentially working 12 hour days with the back issues I've had this pregnancy. They wouldn't last forever but likely for the next couple of months probably before we'd be on 8s. The money I make now gets us by, so I'm trying to decide if it's better to keep on keeping on and be able to spend time with the kids and husband and keep up on housework or go make more money. I don't know what to do. I feel like I sound like I'm coming up with excuses not to do it, but man... sometimes I come home from a 5-6ish hour shift at the restaurant and can literally barely make it up the stairs.

I'm sorry, that sucks.

How far along are you?  You should make a ticker .

I think Sami has been relatively tame for Sami though.  I'm not an Abby fan though, she annoys me so I like watching Sami stick it to her.

Yeah Will's article was dumb. 

On an unrelated note, but still a random, I don't know how I feel about Burger King and Tim Horton's merging.  This better not mess with my Timmy Ho's!!  I hope they don't create BK/TH hybrids

[kistjenn]

I realized last night that I suck at being a second time mom.  I haven't taken any recent pictures of Chloe (or Ashlynn) in over a month.  They are soooo cute and I need to really get on this or I won't have these wonderful moments captured.  When A was this age I made it a point to take pictures weekly.

Worst drop-off thus far. My soul is crushed.

Aww man! I'm sorry. You guys have had a lot of change ... Here's hoping it smooths out soon!

[rainbowchip]

creamsiclechica I hope Carter feels better soon.

@therealmc Hugs! It will get better! It has to!

Awww, laurack, happy anniversary!

A keeps asking to go places we can't, like my sister's or my parent's house, and it's heartbreaking. I try to simply explain it, but it is hard to grasp of course. I hope it gets better.

obviously I was liking the first part, not laughing evilly about your sad toddler...
