h I like the grey one better. I feel like it's a little more classic.
@timotousbeastie I'm so sorry. That must be terrible. Big glass of wine for you tonight. Chase has been really bad with poopy diaper changes lately, too. I've learned to close the diaper really quick and turn it in the opposite direction, because I went through three changing pad covers in one day.

I'm hungry. There's plenty of healthy food available, but I think I'm going to make a frozen pizza - and I'm talking a frozen Totino's pizza, not even a quality frozen pizza. I'm kind of excited about it...

My Doppler came today. I'm sitting on the couch watching The Bachelor and listening to the baby's heartbeat <3 <3
The midwife doing my first ultrasound last week had said the baby's heartrate was slow, but looked strong, so she wasn't concerned yet. Then she moved on, all nonchalant, to do my pap smear. Of course I've been hanging on the first part of that sentence since then. This helps ease my mind a bit.

I am impressed you can hear the heartbeat! Aren't you only like 8 weeks?
@lcap I agree with your h. I wouldn't want to pay that much in taxes that can increase each year.
Fwiw my house is worth about $500k and my property taxes are $3k. That is extortion. Is it NY? I heard the taxes there are crazy.
Yep, NY. Which apparently doesn't gave anything on NNJ! @marshmallows My parents are in SNJ and their tax bill is like a third of ours but their house is a third more expensive. It's crazy.
My inlaws keep hinting not so subtly they want us to buy their house on north shore Long Island when they retire in a few years. Their monthly tax payment alone is like twice our mortgage +taxes on our current house, for like a fraction of the property size. I want to be near salt water again, be hell to the no on that.
I got good news about work today and it looks like I will be able to quit my old job sooner rather than later. Can't wait to only be working one job instead of 2!
Unrelated and feel free to ignore: WHEN ARE YOU TESTING?

8w3d. I couldn't find it earlier tonight, but with a little more persistence I found it. Display said it was averaging 142 bpm.
That's within the correct range for 8 weeks, right? My heartrate trends really low, so I guess it makes sense my baby's would trend slower too.
I can't post a new thread from Tapatalk, but stay tuned for an "exciting" recap of tonight's adventures in multi generational living. Will probably post to MM since that's more my shtick over there.

:;; hugs :;; vtdiamond @awinter I am SO GLAD you figured out what was going on with E... But oh man, you've had a rough couple of weeks. I hope there is rest ( haha one can dream) and relaxation in your future!!
When I picked up D from daycare, the director asked me if I was pregnant. Bad timing. D had been talking about it all day. I made an excuse that my sister in law was pregnant. Then I went to pick her up and one of the teachers mentioned she was talking about it all day. Another excuse. My SIL is very pregnant and D didn't believe there was a baby in there. I was looking at picture on FB of pictures of when D was in my belly and she was very interested in them. I think that is when she realized babies are in bellies. She mentioned I had a big belly because I was very bloated. I thought it was cute. She also said she and my FIL had babies in their belly because they have big bellies.
Part of me wants to wait, but my very conservative doctor was 100% sure. I mention I ovulated late too. He said that a second US was an option if I needed closure, but he was 100% sure it wasn't viable. II had spotting, slight bleeding, and low progesterone, so it wasn't like I had a great pregnancy so far. I hate those internet stories. Damn you, Google.
I have sad moments and cried for a minute when I finally came home because I remember leaving feeling nervous but hopeful and excited when I left. Otherwise, I am taking it okay.

I'm irrationally annoyed at my old place of employment. I worked for a home hospice company. I stayed PRN when I took my new job because I genuinely like the work. We also have an onsite hospice center. The center manager gives me plenty of notice if a shift comes up that they need covered, if at all possible. The home hospice side texts me the morning they need me, and then can't understand why I can't work. Wth, people.
Like I said, irrational.
A has been crazy pants lately. Today she found an empty chip bag (one of the little ones) that DH left downstairs. She decided she had to put her sippy cup in it. If I tried to take it out, she flipped out. I don't understand the toddler brain.
Sally - Thank you for being a hospice nurse. I know it's not an easy job but the hospice nurses we had before my moms partner (that raised me) passed away were such a blessing to our family.
It's not easy, but it's so worth it. I knew I wanted to stay prn when I left, and I'm glad I was able to. Although people are so confused when I tell them I work in a NICU and prn for hospice. They're very different.
I'm glad you all had good nurses, but I'm sorry you needed them.

Now I want oreos. Heehee for drunk starry. One of DH's childhood friends is embarking on a new life adventure by moving across the country to try to become a lawyer. Bully for him, but he messaged dh to ask if we feel like we could give him any money or buy him things off an amazon list. I'm assuming he sent the same message to all his family and friends? The amazon list is mostly expensive camera equipment so he can have a photography side business for extra money while he's in school. I'm a little wide eyed at the whole thing. He's a nice guy and I want nothing but good things for him. But damn. Ballsy.
