I am... not having a good day. I'm either having a reaction to my meds or I have an infection. I'm working on trying to get dressed so I can head in to see my doctor to find out. Then I'm going to attempt to hold myself together long enough to go to work for the rest of the day.
I have positive updates, but I'll have to post those later. I'm not feeling very positive right now. Why does everything have to be so difficult ever every single stinking day? I'm over it.
katespade ((major hugs)) I hope you feel better VERY soon!
Just interviewing people with bronchitis. I'm trying to preface each interview and let them know my voice is shot. But if one more candidate tells me I'm going to have to speak up when I know I'm yelling....I will hang up on someone.
I have some kind of horrible head cold thing going on, so right now I'm sitting in my office trying to keep my germs to myself
Despite that, I've been doing well with my eating and exercise! I'm down 5.5 pounds for March so far- less exciting when I think that it's just losing weight that I had regained- but still!
I bought a step for at home and I've been doing that at night, once A is asleep and DH is still working. It's nice because I can put in a tv show and keep myself distracted

I think C and I are fighting something I'm not feeling 100%, although not totally sick either, and when I picked him up this morning and was patting him back to sleep he was moaning Something is up with him lately...either fighting something or teething. He also went down for his nap super easily and slept about 10 minutes longer than normal (which is pretty big since he only naps for 20-40 min).
Otherwise, I'm back to my pre-pg weight! C turns 3 months tomorrow so I'm pretty happy about this! I did run once this week...it felt good and I really need to get out there more...my 1/2 marathon is only like 6 wks away and I haven't run in weeks outside of this one time.
I bought some new clothes this past week. I'm up one size from pre-pregnancy and still have some weight to loose, but feeling pretty good. I'm getting use to functioning on less sleep but for the most part getting 4-5 hours of (broken up) sleep a night. G did sleep 5 1/2 hours one night, so maybe she will do that again!
DH and I are doing pretty good. I said some stupid things I shouldn't have last night but he understood I was just frustrated from G being so fussy and he didn't take it personal. He was awesome and took care of her the rest of the night and I was able to go for a drive and clear my head. I knew something like that would happen eventually, but I just hate that I said something hurtful to him.
G is doing great. She is such a good baby. She has been having some issues when eating. She will take a bottle but sometimes she will pull away from it and cry out in pain. We burp her and she will want the bottle back but will pull away again. She is just so gassy and seems to have a hard time getting it all out sometimes. This happens 1-2 a day usually. Sometimes more. We have been using gas drop/gripe water and it helps a little. We have her on drops for cramps to see if it helps. We are also trying the soy formula again to see if that will give her some relief.
I've been having more good days then bad. I'm not on an anti-depressant but I am taking a natural supplement that helps. I haven't been feeling so overwhelmed all the time. Last night was rough. I sat in my car in the driveway because I didn't want to go inside. Today is better though.

I'm pretty much down to my pre-pregnancy weight but my regular pants aren't fitting right so I have some work to do! I've been eating like crap so that isn't helping. I just want sweet stuff all the time. I don't know if it's because I couldn't have much of it for 2 months or what. That plus neither H or I feels like doing much cooking, so we're eating a lot of quick stuff that isn't healthy at all. Hopefully soon we will start getting more sleep so we have more energy to cook and clean because this place is a mess too! It's supposed to start raining but if it hasn't yet when H gets home we might go for a walk.

There are a lot of things going on right now that are either not going may way or are out of my control and I think I'm doing a better job than usual of sort of just going with the flow (I am NOT a breezy person) I can say I truly feel happier lately and sort of at peace with just knowing that whatever happens, happens, and I/we can deal with it. I am really trying to focus on myself and continue to get to the gym which I've been doing a good job with. The scale is slooooow to move but I'm feeling better and I think my clothes are fitting better so I'm making progress.
Okay, now that I'm home from work here's a better update:
My labs showed no infection. They're still going to let them grow over the weekend to make sure, but they're thinking I'm having a reaction to one of my medications so I'm going to stop taking it and see if things stop hurting. I got to work two hours late and made it through the rest of my workday, so I feel a bit better about my day now than I did this morning.
I told my GI about my 45 minute morning walks on the treadmill when I saw her last week and she looked at me like I was completely crazy. She asked me why I went from nothing to 45 minutes instead of starting with something easier like 20 minutes, and recommended that I dial it back for a while.
I'm also slowly working toward an all liquid/puree diet. I've replaced breakfast with a meal replacement drink, which seems to help but doesn't keep me full for long enough that I don't end up eating too much as a morning snack. I have all sorts of smoothie and meal replacement stuff in the freezer that I'm looking forward to trying.
Puppy is doing much better yesterday and today! He is keeping food in and his poops are solid again!
The realtors came out and checked out our house. We are moving forward with getting it listed in approx two weeks. Unfortunately we'll be listing it for what we bought it at 5 years ago but we'd rather get out now than be stuck here for another 5+ years.
So between puppy, big pup, getting house finished to list, two grad classes, and regular work, I'm stressed with a capital S. On the TTC front, I'm spotting, which means CD1 of cycle 24 is most likely tomorrow.
I'm so happy it's Saturday. DD was so, so sick all week and is finally starting to feel better. It has been so worrisome and stressful but I'm grateful we finally figured out the problem and got her the proper medicine.
