Both my guys are sick DH woke up with a sore throat, congestion, and tight chest. DS's fever broke a few days ago, but now he's wheezing, coughing, and runny nose. They're both miserable, my poor guys. I've been taking care of them all day.
Silver lining though, DS was so tired he napped in his toddler bed!!! For TWO HOURS! So I got a nice nap too.
Also, I saw my OB today and we talked about gestational diabetes. She said the nutritionist I saw was wrong, I take my blood glucose level TWO hours after meals, not one! So getting good levels should be easier than I had been doing the last few days.

I have a sore throat
H's phone wasn't charging so we made an appointment to get it looked at tomorrow since he's OOT monday-Sunday. Turns out there was lint in the port, LOL. That was the suggestion made by our 17 year old plumber. he's a ducking IT director ffs!
I hate DH right now. He has already gotten to Diet Bet weight. I still have a stubborn 1.75 pounds. I think I am going to have to try for ketosis for another week but I don't wanna.
Ditto, without me doing low carb. I've just been doing low food. It sucks.
I think we were likely meaner, not nicer, because it was an AE post.
I read the first few replies and was like, yeah you guys got this.
I kept thinking, "would I lose my mind if dh told me to 'fuck off"? Then I tried to remember if he ever had, because I've been known to be a super control freak, but I can't remember. Things always seem bad to me in the moment and then 5 minutes later we've forgotten what we said.
My H just asked what I'm doing up so late. It's 8:54, lol. I'm only awake because I'm too tired to walk up the stairs to bed. One day I will have a life again, right?

In front of the kid takes it up a notch to me. And generally, we don't swear at each other despite the fact that we swear like sailors in other contexts.
I just fed DD 15-days-old expired formula. Oops. She had already chugged most of it when I saw the date, but I'm pretty sure whatever cold and snot bugs she has are going to kill any bugs slightly expired formula brings with it.
On the plus side, she drank 6 oz before bed and didn't puke. We gave her 4 and then 2. She never drinks more than 4. Maybe this means she will sleep longer tonight.

DD fell and busted up her lip pretty badly right after she got home from daycare. It doesn't look as bad now that it's been a few hours, but it's super swollen and she's definitely in pain. We gave her motrin and lots of cuddles, but I feel awful because I kind of freaked out and scared her. I need to work on my reaction to blood. *-) Then I had a hormonal meltdown at dinner because I felt so bad about it. Luckily we'd already let DD go sit on the couch and watch Tinkerbell since she was done eating and pretty upset about her lip, so she didn't see it, but poor DH was at a total loss about how to make me feel better.
I'm getting a haircut, brow wax, and pedi tomorrow. I will finally feel prepared for baby after, ha.
Have fun!
Another tip: if you are overdue, make sure your feet look terrible. I planned to get a pedi after my due date appointment, because I was 98% sure I would be overdue. This guaranteed that my water broke at 39w6d and I had ratty feet and chipped toenails.
I'm watching my 5th episode of Daniel Tiger for the day. I'd like to think if I was a SAHM I wouldn't let DS watch so much TV but damn, it's hard to do anything without having the TV as distraction. Our "favorite" episode about going potty is on.
SAHM here, nope! Sometimes TV is the only way I get shit done. Oh, you want to watch a show? Fantastic because I ate and slept for your entire nap and the dishes don't do themselves. And I'm always like, ok, but just one, but then it goes by so quickly. It's never just one.

@starry - prob testing in the am. Trying to decide between FRER and wondfo. May need to order more wondfos. Tomorrow is only CD 26 so I should probably hold off until Monday... But I won't.

That post just reminded me that I have told H to fuck off (not in front of my kids). I cuss like a sailor though so it isn't as big of a deal as it sounds.
He has never said it to me and I would be in shock if he did. His language isn't as colorful as mine.
I found out yesterday that DD definitely gets time outs at daycare. We don't do them at home, but yesterday she was ordering me around and I was not doing what she wanted and she said: "NO! YOU AREN'T LISTENING! GO TO TIME OUT!" And she kept grabbing me by the hand and dragging me to the corner. I know it is probably "bad" but I found it so hilarious that I just did it. She quickly released me, gave me a hug, and told me I was a "good mama."
C is obsessed with time out now. His teachers told me he's been really good this week and hasn't needed any, but every day on the way home he rats out the other kids in his class and tells me why they went to time out. He's such a little snitch.
Then yesterday we went to put him in time out and after he was all, "more time out!" and went back in for fun. Parenting fail.
Day three of "reward DD for accident-free days" was a success. Makes me feel like an asshole for getting frustrated when she obviously thrives on praise. But yay for her!
She is also SO excited for her birthday. This age has a lot of great perks.
