I know it's earlyish but I need to start this. I just really really wish my DD had a mute button right now…OMG THE WHINING. She is still out of sorts from her shots yesterday I think. She just makes that pre-crying UNNNNNGGGGGGHHHH sound ceaselessly. This has been going on all day and my H is out of town and I am seriously counting the minutes until her bedtime (133 to go).
SHe doesn't have a fever so I don't think Advil or anything would help, right? Ugh. I feel so bad for her because obviously she's unhappy/uncomfortable but nothing I do seems to soothe her. I hope she is in a better mood tomorrow. My H is gone until Friday and I cannot take three more days/nights of this.

People have been commenting today that I look tired. Yeah. I look like crap I get it. No pregnancy glow here. Just tired resting bitch face. I was kind of shocked when I actually looked at myself in the mirror this evening. It was like "oh, yes, everyone is quite correct." On the brightside, it lead to dh suggesting I eat ice cream and then go right to bed while he does bedtime. So my "I AM SO F-ING DONE" appearance has its benefits.
My sister's college roommate is an ob and just joined my ob's practice. YESSSSS. We are going to TTC soon so if my ob isn't on call when I'm in labor, she can come deliver my baby. She is awesome and my mom and her dad grew up together.
shelbyann Advil might help. She could have pain some pain from the shots that it could help with. I'm not shy about drugging my baby if I think he might need it though. Good luck, I hope she gets in a better mood.
H has started a new routine of coming home early enough to help T-Th-F. I'm LOLing as I type this because I just heard him yell "No! Don't jump back INTO the bath!" and a big splash.

Just as I snuggled into bed my god damn cat jumped up and proceeded to puke on the blankets and it soaked through every layer into the mattress before I could roll out of my pillow fortress and move the blankets. CATS ARE ASSHOLES! So while dh starts laundry, here I sit having bleached the mattress pointing my hair dryer at the spot so it will dry and we can put sheets on it. At least she had the decency to vomit on dh's side of the bed rather than directly on me...

Way TMI...
We were playing after bath time and DD was naked. She reached back at one point and must've stuck her fingers up her butt because her hand was covered in poop and she pooped a little on the floor too
shelbyann it may be worth it to give her some medicine. Sometimes the injection site can be sore for a few days. I know E always hated nursing laying on one side after shots and I would have to football hold her.
Work sucked today. I'm so tired of people with napoleonic complexes and my chain of command constantly flip flopping.
AJ is currently sprouting a new rash all over his penis and scrotum, poor guy he did not love when I had to clean poop off the whole area. Speaking of my kid and pooping, I will have another post about this momentarily.

I am so freaking done with today. Work was insane, I live in a nuthouse with five pets running around, on top of a super whiny 11 month old. And we missed the magic bedtime window and she is flipping out about having to go to bed now. DH is taking a turn at calming her down. Jesus H Christ, I need a nap.
And now my cell phone won't charge and I really want to throw it out a window.

OMG, CATS ARE ASSHOLES. One of ours keeps pooping on the floor right next to the litter box. Like, two inches away. Get with the program, jerk cat.
(He isn't sick, he's just always had litter box issues. 9 years of litter box issues. Lord help me.)
Last night I got home from work at 11pm. I went to sleep. DS2 woke to eat at 1. DS1 woke from a bad dream(maybe?) at 1:45. Back to sleep. Then DS2 was up at 3:30. DH got home at 4:30 just as DS1 woke up and WOULDN'T GO BACK TO SLEEP! DH rocked him for 2 hours, trying to get him to sleep and allow me to sleep some......except DS2 wouldn't go back to sleep.
Thankfully my daughter doesn't have lice. I am a little upset that I had to miss a day of work and spent hours bagging up toys and washing sheets, towels, etc. for nothing. But now I know what lice looks like and if they ever try to pass a little white speck off as a nit again, I will know better. It was just bad timing. I don't think I have worked a full week since I started my job. And I have to miss Friday for my grandma's funeral. Hopefully tomorrow is better.

I think we have officially hit toddlerhood, because holy crap, homeboy was a wreck today. He threw a fit and cried about EVERY. LITTLE. THING. And he cried for the first time at daycare drop off.
The other day we ordered a Little Tykes Cozy Truck for him, and it came today, so DH pulled out the pieces and was going to put it together, until M freaked. He was terrified of it, started crying, shaking, and clinging to me. I really hope he isn't scared if it once it's put together and outside.
DS fell asleep before bedtime so we just put him in the RNP as-is. He slept for about 30 minutes, woke up, we changed him, nursed him, and now he's flipping the fuck out over going back to sleep. This is going to be a loooong night.

@this I use to secretly want to be simpsongal because of how magical her maternity leave was but you have now trumped her. That is freaking awesome !!!

Good luck! The other side of daycare had lice a few weeks back and we had to take everything home. I was very paranoid for a couple days. I am so so glad no one in DS' classroom got it. So glad your daughter doesn't have it.
Is there a 2 week growth spurt? I hope so because I have no other explanation for C's fussiness and constant need to eat. Since he can't breastfeed and I'm exclusively pumping, this is new territory for me. I wish I could just latch him on but instead I'm debating whether he's truly hungry and then trying to decide how much to give him.
Bedtime was uneventful and H cleaned the kitchen, so I've had a lazy evening!
I have a lame ass confession. I HATE grape Popsicles so every time H asks me to grab him a Popsicle if I'm getting one for myself, I always bring him purple ones. He is a much better partner cause he brings me the good colors.
@starry hugs. It's so hard to not blame yourself or wonder if you missed a sign. But truly there is only so much you can do of they won't help themselves.
Please PM if you want to talk. I have been through hell with my sister and it was very hard on our family and DH had a hard time coping bc he kept wondering why.
