I feel judgy. Whenever I see a couple on fb being super gushy, I feel like there is trouble in paradise. (Not the normal it's our anny I love you more than life stuff).
The downside (or upside) of working at the same company as your H: he called to tell me he talked to my boss's boss today and that after my current boss retires (2 days after I return from maternity leave), they're restructuring my whole department and all of the people that I currently work with in my group are going under one manager and I'm going under a different manager, all of the other people in my "new" group are located in CA, and I'm the only one in DE. While it's nice to know that everything is going to be different when I come back (woohoo, like returning from maternity leave isn't going to be stressful enough), I was kind of enjoying being completely oblivious to what's going on at work right now.
On the other hand, that could be good timing, let the dust settle while you are out, and you get a completly fresh start when you come back? I hate restructuring and it stresses me out, but I am trying to see the positives for you .
Were starting to try and sleep train Amelia so she will fall asleep in her crib in her own. she's been waking up when I transfer her and then refuses to go back to sleep. She rolled around in her bed for 10 mins then fussed I gave her her binky but didn't pick her up and she was out for nap!

I should just be happy for them.
You should! I know it's hard to believe, but some people are just like that. I leave Matt gushy stuff because words are part of my love language and I think it's nice to let other people know you appreciate and love your spouse. I never leave inappropriate things, but I do make statuses and write on his wall. I know it can be indicative of a problem, but maybe not!

Valid point .
I would never judge you for writing gushy stuff, but other randoms from high school that have been in and out of seriously relationships (and/or marriages) a bunch, I tend to not believe that this time they found the perfect guy for them that treats them like gold, and completes them.
But, like anything I judge, I shouldn't really, I should hope the best for them.
Can you bribe her with toys? I had special bathroom toys that Lincoln could play with while he pooped and if he went, he could take it out of the bathroom to play with. But if he didn't go, it had to stay in the bathroom. I also gave him an m&m every time he went poop on the potty.
I've offered her everything. Movies, TV show, toys, candy.. Sometimes she asks me to sit on the side of the tub and hold her hand. She eventaully starts playing with my rings and fingers and gets totally distracted. I've even offered to close the door so she can have some privacy (I stand on the other side of the door and listen of course), but nothing seems to work.
@chelsmonster DS is the same way, he always has to give everyone kisses after playgroup and some of the kids pull away and he then chases them for a kiss. It's hard because it is so sweet. So I either have him blow kisses or explain that they just don't want one right now. I like the suggestion of teaching them to ask first.
carawestt I'm sorry about your MIL, you enjoy that facial and massage! And YGPM

Fun family outing at the park. Andrew is practicing riding his bike, playing on the swings, generally having a good time. Then I see the telltale stripes down his butt. You know the ones. The stripes that mean his diaper didn't do its job. I asked DH to verify my fears, and he shoved his finger right in the poop. We run away to the car to handle the situation and realize that we have no diapers. No wipes. No spare clothes. Awesome. Andrew's poopy butt is now sitting on my sweatshirt to try and save the car seat on the drive home.
The only redeeming thing is he was riding his bike when the poop happened. We're not the asshole parents who poop smeared the playground equipment.
L has been kissing his fellow My Gym friends during class...they all pretty much pull away and wipe their faces lol. They don't really want to be kissed. L is so extremely affectionate and sweet and just wants to show his love...I had to tell him today that I know he likes his friends and is being very nice, but sometimes people don't want to be kissed, and that's ok. I immediately felt bad telling him that! How do I teach him about boundaries, without squelching his sweet little affectionate spirit?? Lol. My sweet boy, Ah I love him so much. He just has a lot of love to give.
We need to get our love bugs together to kiss and hug to their hearts' content
We finally got a poo on the potty today. After two days of running to the potty every five minutes he went. Thank god. I might get a break for a day. That was exhausting.
Yesterday at daycare Madison made it to the potty for the tail end of a poop. She wanted to leave it there in the toilet so daddy could see it when he picked her up. Meanwhile, she tells me flat out at home right as she is going to start to poop but won't go on the potty for me.
I think 3rd trimester fatigue is already setting in. I have so much to do at school and I just want to go home and put my pajamas on.
I'm with you. PM me whenever you need to vent. I'm so run down, keep getting sick and can't fight it off and am miserable. It's going to be a long few months.

Ugh. I'm sorry you've been sick. I have somehow managed to stay healthy (knock on wood). Only 40 or so school days left before spring break. After that I'll be on leave. We can do this!

When is your spring break? My last day of school is March 20 and I don't think I'm working after that but I will have to be written out by my dr because our laws say you work until the end unless medically advised. My mom gets here April 3 so I really don't want to work after that. i've had to use so many of my sick days I won't have any left for the 2 week wait of my disability. Oh well.
jg183 Our last day is April 2nd. We go back on the 13th and have conferences that week and it's a four day week. I'm due the 15th and am not about to do conferences at 40 weeks. No thank you! I need to get going on my paperwork for leave. It took forever last time and I waited too long and ended up not actually getting paid during my leave. I got a big check in like July.
