Tuesday Night Randoms and MOTN

[Deleted]

My husband is sick and is being SO dramatic about it.  He called his boss in London to tell him his temperature is 101.8 so he may be in bed all day tomorrow.



Meanwhile I feel like crap and had random shooting pains in my breasts all day but excuse me, you have a mancold.

[rugbywife]

Pam! Call my mom…sigh, man colds are the worst.

The thread about the size of houses is still making contemplate how/if we can have 3 kids. I know, I should have #2 before I even consider this to be a possibility, lol.

DD only woke up once last night, it was awesome. I have this to show for it…

My husband loses his shit if he has as much as a stuffy nose. Sigh.

Go Giants!!!!!

[noodleskooze]

Has anyone used the updated Target app? You can't access product reviews! Wtf?

[Blue Moon]

I put B down at 8:20. Wake up #1 at 8:30, lol. The miracle blanket is apparently a misnomer.

I'm watching Gilmore Girls in the family room while H watches something in the media room...I knew when we finished that room this would happen. Oh well, at least we still share a bed

I had a late last minute meeting at work, so I'm still on the train home. It's killing me that I'm not watching the game. But from checking updates online it's looking great so far!

I started a low carb diet yesterday, and today my team went out for dinner. We went to an Italian place that specializes in pizza and pasta.
*sob*

Ugh I really should hit low carb hard (like 50 net a day) in these 6 weeks leading up to my cruise but I DON'T WANNA.

Cue posts 6 months from now about how I weighed more than I wanted when I got pregnant.

omg, how can you get only 50g of carbs a day? I get twice as much in just fruits and veggies alone. I feel like to get that little I would have to only eat meat, lol.

Great first inning. I worry they might go cold!

I feel like the biggest bitch. DH was home late after he said he was leaving early and I'm tired and pregnant. Cue wife being upset.

He gets home and tells me office gave him a baby shower today. Colleagues globally chipped in and gave us a very generous gift card plus gift for DS. They had cake and everything, for baby number two.

I feel like a bitch.

Blame it on baby emotions. I hate doing this, but sometimes is is necessary.

How do I get my husband to understand that when I go in to soothe A MOTN, SHE WANTS TO NURSE BECAUSE I'M THERE!!!!! She doesn't need to eat and it throws her off her morning bf session if she bfs at that point.

However, in wanting to have things be "fair", he feels that I should get up half the time. Never mind the fact that last night, she wouldn't settle after I came in the room without nursing. I'd already rocked her for 5 minutes and she was screaming her fool head off and kicking the paci off because she could smell me and couldn't figure out why I wasn't feeding her.

...and there's also the fact that there were MONTHS where he had to ask me if I got up to feed her. It's his turn, right?

[catbus]

Sorry, KC ladies--I'm rooting for the Giants. West coast, plus ine of my high school classmates is on the team. He's the one being credited for winning them the last playoffs game. So... Little bit of loyalty there.

Atkins induction is like 20 net carbs a day. I think my days would be:

Breakfast - bacon and cheese (I don't like eggs so this is the hardest part for me)

Snack - almonds

Lunch - rotisserie chicken, green beans

Snack - Atkins bar

Dinner - grilled meat, vegetables, green salad with balsamic dressing 

Snack - cheese stick

lol. It wasn't easy but it was only two weeks long! When I am closer to 50 it isn't so bad. I add in peanut butter, carrots, fruits. Now I am closer to 120 most days because I get on the slippery carb slope, lol.

huh…I guess it can be done. No fruit in there though, that's probably where I get screwed on the carbs, but it is the only place I can get sweetness when I am trying to curb sugar. I think sugar is more my issue than carbs per se.

But did he bring you the cake?  Because if not, it's fair to rage.

I think I'm getting sick. If I were H, I would already be moaning and planning to stay home sick tomorrow. Work is slow right now so I'm really tempted to drop DD off at her sitter and come home to sleep, but my secretary's MIL died and I'm not sure if anyone else will be there to answer phones. (We have a small-ish office and rotate floor days.)

Our pedi said he had to, LOL. When it came from the doctor, it had more weight, I guess. 

(And if it helps, she quit waking up MOTN in about a week once H went in to soothe her and set her back down.)

[arch01]

Ugh, sorry @notquiteblushing

I may or may not have laid into the daycare teacher a little bit this afternoon when yet again, they didn't put DS in a diaper for nap time. He's awake PTed, but can't make it through a nap or night right now. This is the 3rd time in 2 weeks-and he only goes 3 days/wk. I miss the old afternoon teacher, we never had an issue. It breaks my heart to hear DS talk about having an accident at night and how it scared him to wake up all wet and how it makes him sad.

Yeah I'm on wakeup one already, wtf?! I go to the kitchen do some dishes, take my vitamins, go pee and she is up when I get back to the bedroom. Grrrr

I'm going to have to bring this up at the follow-up appointment we have next week for A's ear infections. She's been pretty good about not waking up most nights, but she still stirs sometimes (maybe once every 3-4 nights) and we'll see how she does tonight after only taking one nap today.

He wants things to be fair?  See Taylor Swift up top.  Did he carry a baby?  Birth a baby?  Nurse a baby?  Nope?  Well he can do MOTN soothings for a few months for crying out loud. Throw his pillows on the floor.

[biogirl21]

I need to do the dishes but all I want to do is sit on the couch and watch baseball. Dilemma, lol. MH will probably be pretty pissed if he gets home from work and they aren't done though.

H's grandfather stopped by to pick up a tool. They had been watching J when we had schedule overlaps and last week when H started a new job but we didn't have full time care. Yesterday he told H that we need to be looking over J's body for signs of abuse Today he said that J probably doesn't get to sleep there and that they want him a couple days next week. I'm sorry, but we are paying for him to be there 36-39 hours a week and he is going there. They are abusing him, they let him sleep if he wants to and they don't only feed him 1 bottle in 8 hours because he didn't act hungry(it's true, he doesn't act hungry ever, expect MOTN, when I then have to be up with him all night). Ugh, frustrating. I know that they love him and want to see him, but daycare and keeping him on the same routine now is what's best for him. I'm off work Monday, maybe I'll take him over for a few hours and go see a movie or something.

I just broke down crying because I don't want to leave DS to go back to work. It's not that I don't want to work...I just like having him around. I didn't realize how hard this was going to be.

Yeah he owes you for the 97425895 wake ups you have handled so far!

::whispers:: I'm watching the Duggars. I know I shouldn't.

I also am feeling bloated and gross and crabby at my H.

[humpforfree]

H and my dad installed the majority of our new floors in our main living area this weekend and yesterday. L started army crawling today. Apparently sub floor was holding him back. Omg so glad he waited until we had floors to get mobile.

[lulu21]

I attempted to make home made mac and cheese for dinner. Calling it a disaster is an understatement. It was equivalent to Mac and cheese paste, looked like paste, tasted like paste. It was awful.

Hugs. I'm sorry. ML had been ROUGH on me, but I still dread the thought of not seeing DD all day. Everyone says it gets easier- we have to believe them!
