It took 3 hours to get my kid to fall asleep last night. Then she woke up 3 hours later! Fortunately she went back to sleep for the rest of the night. I feel like she is getting me ready to go back to the newborn stage.
The doctor hasn't called with my blood work and it is making me stir crazy. It said the test results would be available online at 11:21 and I didn't really care that she hadn't called. Until I realized it was 11:21pm.
I am starving. My husband is off work at 1, so I should really wait to eat lunch until he gets home. So, maybe 2nd breakfast? That doesn't count, right?

DD has grown out of almost all her 0-3 m clothing (all the onesies for sure), and I'm not sure she even wore all of it. Good thing we didn't buy any of it.

DH is out of town this week and DS has had a nasty stomach virus that has involved a lot of clean up. Work is crazy busy and my dog also has to go to the vet this afternoon for a possible infection.
I am coping by making lots of online purchases, even though we're supposed to be on a budget lockdown until DD is born. Oops.
We don't have the same product selection, there's no online shopping, and the prices are higher. I've also found a lot of stock issues (like shelves are randomly empty).
How are the prices higher? All the clothes I bought in Florida last year were the exact same price here. I feel like that was a perception but not necessarily true.
Their grocery selection did suck though.
I didn't think the prices were that bad, but I was sad that they didn't have the same clothing selection as in the US. If only they sold the beloved Target Tunic in Canada...
I liked their housewares and toy section but never bought groceries from there.
I'm using my crockpot AND my breadmaker so that supper is ready for me when I walk in the door tonight (DS has gymnastics at 6 and we get home at 5, so Thursdays are crazy). I adore walking in to that smell of fresh bread and roast beef.
I did that the other day, crockpot minestrone soup with fresh bread. We've had swimming lessons every day this week at 5pm so having dinner ready the minute we came home was a must.

Never wait to eat when you're hungry, especially really hungry. Double extra don't wait to eat with someone else. Unless of course you're one of those magic people who doesn't get grumpy when they're hungry. I get grumpy pretty quickly when I'm hungry, so waiting for DH just leads to being bitchy to DH even though it's not his fault I didn't eat.
I got to see my favorite OB today, the one who talks like Ryan Gosling. He did my GBS swab and was like, "hey girl, just a little swab in your vagina and on your bottom!" and I died a little. WHO SAYS BOTTOM?

DD is very bossy about my looks. On one hand, she's potentially right and on the other hand I want her to STFU. This morning I had bedhead when I came to get her out of her crib and she made a disgusted face and said "No Mommy hair!". She has also said this week "no mommy glasses. no like it". THANKS you little snot.
Ugh, I'm home sick and we're having an energy evaluation on our house. I just want to sit on the couch for 8 hours while DS is at daycare, without fear of judgement from random guys all over my house!
Does anyone else who's considering #2 have one of those days where the first kid STTN, you had a decent night's sleep too, nothing went horribly wrong, and yet you're somehow exhausted at 9am, at which point you think "am I bats**t insane for wanting to sign up for another one?"

No? Just me?
This is my H everyday. He is so nervous for no reason all the time now. Chill, Daddy, chill. (hot)

I totally look like death warmed over today. No reason why...........actually wearing dress clothes instead of jeans for the first time in weeks and I slept in so I have no excuse.
All the talk about bedding for 2 year olds (looking at you chickens987 is making me hyperventilate because my plan was to keep M in his crib until he is a teenager. Crib for life!
I LOVED my surfset/TRX class last night. I want to go every week. But sadly that would entail joining yet another gym which is uber expensive and not seeing M one day out our every week since I leave before he gets up and I don't have time to see him and go to the class.

The baby and I are sick so we're staying home today. DS1 is only a little sick but has full energy - poor kid is going to be stir crazy by afternoon. I wish I had somewhere to send him!

Last night I thought our dishwasher was broken, turns out the door was just off center and not latching. Phew! I didn't want to have to deal with that.
I found Candy Cane Milano cookies here in Spain over the holidays. They disappeared from the shelves right after Christmas...I was sad I didn't stock up. Well I was at the store today and they had them again...I have already ate a tray of them...so 5. So much for cutting down on all the CRAP I eat.
I have no idea what these are, but I love it when random stuff I crave shows up on foreign shelves. I know all the bodegas in NYC that carry Kinder chocolates as well as the random places in Europe where I am likely to find Reese's pieces.

Not just you
haha, good to know I'm not alone @vicmo @notquiteblushing
The whole house has been sick and I think I'm the last one to get it. Opening the window shades helped a bit, and I don't have anything super-intense today. Hopefully this won't be what changes my mind.
I'm starting to pre worry about choosing a name for #2. a) we haven't even started TTC b) we could still use one of the remaining names we had picked when I was pregnant with B
So, completely logical, right?
I spent 4 yers agonizing over a new girl name before we even decided to TTC again. In the end, I went into pregnancy with the same short list I'd been pondering since DD's birth and let DD pick a NMR from it.
DS's name is what we would have used for DD if she had been a boy.
Era: just saw your other post. I love Sylvia, but can't use it and you know why. As for same letter-named siblings, you can tell from my FB that two of my three siblings have names beginning with A. Not a huge deal to me unless people are doing it on purpose.

I still feel that way niq and I am 19 months into kid #2. lol.
Everything looked good on the NST. Heading in to work now. I think this kid is just lazy.
Glad all is well!
C failed 7/10 NSTs. The first one I called my husband hysterically sobbing that I was getting sent to the hospital for monitoring. He raced out of his class to meet me. By the last one, my husband delightedly planned where we could stop for lunch on the way from the OB's office to the the hospital. Babies, man.
He woke me up at 515 by coming into out room with a bottle of his ibuprofen saying "i need medicine " lol. He actually wasn't hot, so maybe his fever broke finally? He's been tested for flu, rsv, and strep which were all negative. They did a CBC yesterday which came back fine, too. So just crazy high unexplained fevers for 5 days.
I did get him to fall back asleep after 1 episode is paw patrol. I was worried we were up for the day since he slept all day yesterday.
This happens to Calvin all the time! The pediatrician wont' find anything wrong but he will have these crazy fevers (103+). He usually feels fine after about 5 days.
H's grandfather was in the hospital last month for several days before getting to come home. He's having lung issues; no clear diagnosis besides polyps and fluid in the lungs. We thought he was doing OK, but a week ago he declined again and has been in the ICU since, not responding to treatment. We got word yesterday that they're going to try one more treatment, but odds of it working are only ~20%. Good chance he won't make it through today. This will mean an impromptu trip out of state, and we're just waiting to hear more. I'm sad we're losing him for many reasons. And I realized this is the first grandparent H has lost in his lifetime (his maternal grandmother died of cancer a few years before H was born). So he's lucky to have made it to nearly 32 without experiencing this kind of loss, but man, it's still hard.
I have a long saga with a Melissa & Doug Amazon purchase but I won't rehash. Instead, has anyone contacted M&D over a problem with an item instead of going through whichever retailer you bought it?
Yes. And they were terrible. Wouldn't process a refund or exchange until we shipped back the broken toy at our own expense. It was a freaking $9 pounding bench that turned into splinters, dude. I'm not paying $5 to ship it back for a new one.

I'm sorry for your loss.
My husband had all four of his grandparents alive and in good health until he was about 34, I think that may make losing them even harder. Good thoughts to your family.
Thanks, guys. I think the hardest part right now is just not knowing what's going to happen. And hermione, I agree that it's almost harder being this age before losing grandparents. You kind of start to subconsciously assume they'll just be there. I only have one grandparent left now, after losing my grandfathers by the age of 17, and my paternal grandmother in 2009. H's family is younger than my own, so he's had lots of years with them in good health.
Anyway, I'm just rambling. And H is such a work martyr that he actually said, "We'll see if I can even get down there [because work is busy]," which is BS that I (lovingly) called him on. Your team will be fine. You're a systems engineer in a team of other systems engineers. They'll make it work.
