shamrockshake, I posted a belly pic of 37 weeks with pregnancy #1 vs. pregnancy #2 on facebook the other day. My mom, one aunt, and one cousin all thought it was an announcement of twins. Uh, no. Just the one, but thanks? People are not always bright. LOL

Ugh my poor H is in the ER. He's had chest pain and it intensified over night so that he couldn't breathe well. It's not a heart attack but they are keeping him for monitoring. He was so excited to run a 7k tomorrow too. I'm waited to hear if I need to go hang out with him there.

I ran 5 miles yesterday with no walk breaks. That is huge for me, as I have not been able to do that since before I got pregnant with DD. I am running a 10K in April and a half marathon in June, so I am excited finally realizing that I may be able to do it. I am slow as hell and am not confident I will ever be as quick as I was pre pregnancy, but oh well.
I am sorry, cincodemayo. I hope its nothing and your H gets discharged quickly.
also, I posted this picture last night with the "caption headed out with [dd3], tiny chucks are the cutest" and two people said they thought I was announcing kid #5. um no!!! I guess at a quick glance it looks like the ones of shoes- dad, mom, tiny baby??
but seriously- tiny chucks are the cutest (heart)
Okay, shopping ban aside, I need to eventually get matching chucks for DD and I. THat is adorable!
I'm home again with a sick kiddo. He's had a 103 degree fever the last 3 days. It goes down with meds, but he's just so sad and pathetic. He's napping on me in the Ergo after being awake for only an hour. My paycheck is going to be rough next week. I'm super bummed because I was going to go see my group of HS friends tomorrow. Hopefully he is fever free tomorrow morning. If he isn't, the nurseline at the pedi said they want to see him.
I'm wearing jeans today that haven't fit in 2 years. I'm pumped!
And I agree with everyone else on returns. This isn't walmart. I've Bought stuff on here that I ended up not liking or needing for whatever reason and just tried to resell it or donate it
I agree. I would never return something on here, unless it arrived clearly broken or the item was clearly misrepresented by the seller. Since when can you return something b/c you "changed your mind"?! Even stores don't let you do that, you have to have a real reason.
DD slept past 8 this morning! We are still adjusting from west coast time. Been laying in my lap nursing for almost an hour... I can remember the last time she was this chill for this long while awake, lol. The snuggles are wonderful but I'm ready for a cup of coffee!
Our main software is down at work. So sitting around doing nothing and it's making me tired. It was down all day Wednesday too so I spent the day cleaning out files at my desk. This is so boring.
I woke up at 315 and DD was stirring so got up and fed them. I barely fell back asleep and then my alarm went off at 515. I can't wait until the babies can sleep all the way till 5. I hate feeding them and then trying to go back to sleep for an hour.

Is it possible to develop allergies as an adult?
I have never liked nuts, especially not in baked goods. I sometimes think my tongue itches after eating brownies with nuts. This has never really been a big issue, and everyone has convinced me it's in my head, but yesterday I ate a cookie with cashews in it, and immediately got the itchy tongue feeling, and my throat felt weird. Not like it was about to close up, but kind of? I felt miserable all morning.
We are going to a drop-in music class today and I hope that DD isn't going to be a holy terror. Sitting still and participating nicely in activities isn't really her thing lately. At least the weather is going to be great so we can play outside later today.

You definitely can develop allergies and sensitivities as you get older. I would get tested.
Way to give me a heart attack, DS's soon-to-be preschool. The deadline to return the application and fee is TODAY. I mailed them on Monday, and it's only going across town so they should have it by now. Got an email late last night that they had "not received my application & fee" and would give away DS's spot to someone on the waitlist at 4pm today. Cue heart attack. I called them at 9:01 this morning as soon as they opened. Turns out the email went out in error, and she has DS's application in her hands. I was like "ARE YOU SURE?!?" And spelled out his name for her. She said she was sure, that everything was "all set." WHEW.
Today is the last shopping trip before DD's birth. I'm buying a bunch of family-sized meals to freeze and eat on DH's paternity leave. I plan on buying ALL THE CARBS. Lasagna, mac & cheese, enchiladas, noodle casserole.

37 weeks seemed like a good time for that surprise, huh?
I think my family might be at the beginning of a Lifetime movie.
My aunt died in a bad accident 2 weeks ago. At her funeral one of the flower bouquets said "from your GEICO family". Odd, she's never worked for GEICO. My mom called yesterday and they told her that they always send flowers when an employee's relative dies. They said there is a girl working in a nearby town who is my aunt's GRANDDAUGHTER. What? No one has ever heard of this girl. Maybe it was a mistake. Or maybe we are about to discover some long ago buried family secret.
Or maybe she, like on of our employees, told them her grandma died so she could take off work, and when pressed for details, found a random obit online??
In our case, when HR asked for details so they could send flowers, he confessed. So she'd be smarter than him in that regard!
We had their 1 year doctor appointment yesterday and it has me all in a flurry of nervousness about their development. I'm not usually worried but being asked questions about it is scary. Both kids failed their hearing tests which the nurse and dr seemed to think was no big deal. ?? And they're both still basically not on the charts short. I would know if my babies were deaf, right? :/ Also autism scares the crap out of me.
Ds1 is going to the ILs tonight! Wahoo! Also on the good news front, ds2 seems to be more or less back to himself. He actually smiled a bunch this morning. Hoping it lasts and I don't spend another evening in newborn witching hour flashback hell with a 17lb-er

I left the house at 7 to get H's car to the dealer. New tire, and I was informed that he needs new brake pads. Extending the warranty makes sense at this point, so I basically spent $2k before 8 am
Then H called and when he went to get DD out of bed, she had terrible diarrhea. So he has to stay home with her today, and we've cancelled our fun weekend playdate plans (we were going to take her duckpin bowling!). Sad She's been sick so much this month, more than her first 2 years total. I blame potty training kids at DC - everyone's always in the bathroom, there's more chance for stuff to spread around. Yuck!
I'm home from work on Mondays and Fridays. But I have easily 30 hours of work to get done by Sunday night. Dd has a croupy sounding cough. H had wrist surgery in Wednesday and is a whiny moaning mess. The dog just puked (at least she hit the tile?).

I'm encouraging my mom to push to find out more, because if this is just some rando taking advantage of my aunt's death then I hope she gets found out.
I had no idea so many companies sent flowers when people died. As for my employer, when my grandmother died a few years ago, they fought me on whether or not a grandparent counts as someone I could use leave for. My boss was kind of an ass about it.
The timing for this pregnancy is very convenient. I have my annual scheduled with my OB for this afternoon. So I get to be seen 2 days after BFP, when otherwise they probably wouldn't have taken me until 8 weeks.
I know its too early for an u/s, but it will be nice to at least have them confirm. DH and I are still a little, 'Um, is this really happening?' so this might make things seem more real.
chickens987, that was our February. I was glad I could flex my schedule/work from home a lot, because otherwise we would have easily burned 10-12 days of PTO between fevers and stomach bugs.
I sold a wrap on the buy and sell here and now the woman is returning it to me. It's not a big deal, she basically changed her mind and it was only around $30, but it has me a bit stressed about selling stuff. We are moving back and home and will be selling most of what is in our house in the next few months. It's going to be draining.
When I sell stuff, I don't offer returns. I'm not a store!

We're not getting a tax refund, but we've slowly recouped our investment in DD's Girl Scout cookies. Almost all of the people who owed us upon delivery (instead of paying in advance) have paid, with the exception of two teachers at DD's school. Come on, teachers! Set a good example.
There's an older guy at my gym who makes these exaggerated sex faces when he uses the weight equipment. Sometimes I see him outside of the gym context and he smiles and waves and I inwardly cringe because it's all I can think about.
Last night, I had a sex dream about him.
A guy at my BFF's gym makes the worst sex noises when he lifts weights. She takes surreptitious videos of it and then we laugh at them.
I am daydreaming about food today. We're going to go for burritos tonight (mine will be naked) and tomorrow I'm going to make a pie for pi day. Maybe chocolate cream pie, or lemon meringue, or...? So many possibilities. Mmm.
