tulips, we share a birthday! Happy Birthday! I am 37 today.
I start my new job today (I actually started over the weekend) and it's already shaping up to be a busy day. I was on call over the weekend and was paged several times in the middle of the night. Yawn!
I am soooo looking forward to Saturday. My in-laws are taking the boys overnight and I plan to do a bunch of fun things: Massage, shopping with my sister, and potentially a mani/pedi.
that is why, as a heartless baby-torturer who hates her children and wants them to suffer, I did not open that post.
Yep, I should've just left it and not even opened it. Whatever, I am fine with my choice. If DD needs therapy later in life it's going to be for all the other crap I do wrong, not CIO when she was 9 months old.
It goes both ways though. CIO proponents love to talk about giving their babies the gift of sleep, and helping them develop correctly, and even if they don't mean to it can feel like they are insinuating that parents who don't use that method are negatively impacting their children.
Hm... more thoughts about the snow storm. DH is at work and will be until who knows when. He's scheduled until 7:30 am, but will likely get held over for the next day or so.
My BIL just bought a generator and is saying DS & I can come stay at his house. His wife is the most annoying person in the world. A constant one-upper, know it all. It sounds like my personal hell to be stuck with her for an indefinite amount of time.
But... heat & electricity for a toddler (who has had a fever on and off for the last 3 days) seems more important.
UGH. And they don't even drink. THE THINGS WE DO FOR OUR KIDS.

FI just found out he has to go to new england for work to deal with the storm. Hoping he will be back Friday. Guess this will be my first solo parenting adventure. Fingers crossed it will be an uneventful week.
Came home with 2 rx for inhalers for DS to try. Their fax machine/computer system was down, so I have to take the Rx to the pharmacy myself and wait around for them. I need to switch pharmacies to one either closer to work or home as the one we use was on my old route from work and is now a pain in the ass.
Is it bad to wish it is asthma? I'm so sick of him coughing.
Update on my movie watching situation - Philomena is making me cry about every 5 minutes. I could blame pregnancy hormones but I tend to cry easily anyway. However DS is still asleep!
I am officially back to counting calories again. I hate being so big and I just feel generally uncomfortable. I really need to lose the weight and have confidence in my appearance again. I am even debating joining WW online again.
I just bought DD a new swing. I am kinda excited about it. I tossed the old ones but they ran on batteries and where not nearly as cool.
I fail at using the damm Nose Frida...FAIL. It doesn't seem to suck as good as the nose bulb.
I'm still not sure if I'm going to make my Diet Bet by the 30th, but it's by far been the most motivated I've ever been to count calories and exercise. It hits my cheapness. Either way my pants fit again, so yay! Even losing the bet is cheaper than new pants.
I want wine so bad but I'm trying to wait until 20 weeks to imbibe a little, which, admitedly, is just some arbitrary date I set for myself. Pregnancy dieting is going so well. I'm down five pounds since my BFP. 12 more days until I get some delicious empty calories!

I'm going to hide my AWs here on page 5: I broke 4 miles for the first time (post-kids) in my run this morning. And it's always the same length of time, which means I'm getting faster, yay!
Double AW: As of yesterday, I'm back to pre-pregnancy weight! Is it bad that I want to celebrate with a milkshake?

Wait how pregnant are you? I feel like you have already been pregnant forever!
I know, right?! I'm 18 weeks, 2 days. I was screwing up my calculations and have to relive 8 days of pregnancy so that sucks.

I gave up trying to find a new enough double bob stroller that would work with the carseat adapter. So I talked DH into letting me order a new one. I'm so excited for it to come! Now I'm wondering if I should try to sell off any of my single strollers. We currently have a single umbrella, britax b-agile, plus now a sit and stand and double jogger. We also have a single bob but a friend is borrowing that right now so I'm not counting it.
Any Girls fans on here? Last night's episode was excruciating to watch. I had to fast forward during Shoshanna's interview. Who would say something like that?? Lol. And then Hannah's rant. Omg. They need another crack episode to make it funny again.
I didn't catch last night, will probably watch the rerun. But I have been really underwhelmed so far. Have you been watching that show that comes on after? I think its pretty funny so far.
Togetherness? Love that show! Still need to watch Girls from last night but I agree its been kind of boring so far.
My office was 56 degrees this morning. Wtf. It's now a balmy 60.
I have a feeling we will be open tomorrow despite the impending snow. The forecast keeps changing. Also, I was creeping on ML and realized that @simpledog is local to me. Creeper alert
DD woke up for the first time in a week without boogers smeared all over her face/sleeves.
I just put on full makeup for the first time in, maybe, a month. I put in contacts too. I usually was lazy and just did a light foundation, blush, and glasses to avoid having to do my eyes. This is much better.

DS is lately obsessed with comic books and superheroes, and yesterday, we were all wishing for super powers. Mine included flight, laser fingers, and the ability to read minds. DS told me "Don't ever read mine. I cuss a lot in my mind."

I'm nursing DS in a Target fitting room. Whatever works, I guess. I came here in search of the MMM uniform tunic, but I think I hit the season a bit too late and there was only one on the rack, not my size. Maybe next winter.
The person who won one of my ebay auctions just messaged me "Are these X or Y? I need X." Um, how about you figure that out before you win the auction? WTF? Know I don't know if she is going to pay or not.
Ugh. Read the listing for crying out loud. I would respond with "as shown in the auction you've already won, it's X. Payment is due by ABC date."
Just got a message "oh, I needed the other one instead. Can I cancel my order?" No apologies, no "i totally goofed and didn't read the post", etc. Sigh.
We just got the dreaded call: DS puked at daycare.
Sigh. I came in late because I took him to the doctor for unrelated reasons, so I had to track down DH to send for him. And now I wonder who will be the next to fall, and how long he'll be sick.
I'm still feeling guilty that work is so swamped this week. I don't want to get up at 4:30/4:45 to pump and get to work. But I am just lightly bleeding and DD is doing well (except for the pink eye her older siblings gave her ). I'm considering stopping by on Weds with DDs to check in, and offering to work Friday AM if they need me. I have almost 100 oz in the freezer so I'm good there, but we haven't tried a bottle yet.
Then it would be kinda weird to have next week off, right?
Your baby is 3 weeks old. Do not go back to work on Friday.

Nah. I am glad to have a diagnosis finally so we can have an actual action plan, rather than calling the pedi for random unspecified coughing and feeling like a jerk.
H has the stomach bug now and I spent hours in the ER with E last night. Her hands kept turning blue random times during the day andnshe started doing this thing where she was sort of gurgling and turned bright red. Almost like she was having a seizure But it appeared she was controlling it. She has some sort of a virus and they said if she isn't better in 48 hrs or her fever gets higher to take her in. Uh, yeah, we will have 3 feet of snow tomorrow. I don't think that's going to happen.

Ha, you and @notquiteblushing are right, it does seem rather ridiculous when I talk it through with other people.
i may have to ignore my phone if my coworker calls tonight.

How does pregnancy dieting work? Serious question.
I'm just not drinking alcohol and limiting junk. ;-)
