I had an appointment with my OB yesterday. I'm doing an acupuncture session on Thursday and they're going to sweep my membranes on Tuesday. We'll also set up an induction date, just in case. This is getting very real, knowing that there is a final end date in sight. Also, I know it doesn't mean anything, but I'm dilated a little bit and it didn't hurt at all when she checked me. I'm ready for this baby!
FI's work is rolling out some international funds this week, so tonight and tomorrow night he has to go to work for 1am to work so there's a person on hand in the office. He did not have to work in the day today.
He face timed me at 2am his time last night from a cab. He woke up at 1:30 and thought he had to be at work this morning. He rushed to get dressed and call a cab thinking he was late for work. He got halfway to work in the cab and realized he didn't have to be there last night. The cab driver was laughing at him so hard. So was I.

I'm so jealous of my H. The Vampire Diaries and The Originals film near his job and he has been promising to give a tour. Two years and a baby later, still no tour. He told me yesterday The Originals will be filming beside his building. He can touch the cast! Soooo this weekend, he is finally going to show me around .
I had the strangest dream last night....I was friends with Chip and Joanna from Fixer Upper and totally in love with her Dad ....who was a super hot Bob Uecker (like, beautiful silver hair, rocking body). LOL WHUT
I believe it is no coincidence that I went on a Fixer Upper binge a couple weeks ago on a work trip (don't have cable at home) and Mr. Belvidere re-runs were on the other day.
My mom keeps trying to get up on her own, losing her balance, and falling in her assisted living apt. She knows that she's supposed to buzz for help, but she doesn't always want to wait. So she falls. Luckily, very luckily, nothing broke these last few times.
I'm taking over a cubby-thing to put a bunch of stuff she may want right next to her chair (snacks, combs, tweezers, eyedrops, etc), and I hope that helps. She's 87 snd just getting over a horrific fall last year from which we did not think she'd recover.
I don't know what else to do at this point. Other sisters are more involved with her, and they are out of ideas, too.
My day did not start out well, at all. It was ruined before I even got out of bed. You're welcome. I am going to be all twisted up the rest of the day. I am ridiculously excited to try the new Body Pump release because there is 30 Seconds to Mars song in it. I need some excitement in my life, obviously, if that is now what I look forward to. Lame.
I hate today. It's been a year since we lost our baby boy pup. We got him right after we got married, and had him a touch under 6 years.
I wish I didn't know the exact date, but it coincided with a big deadline at work. I remember rushing through work so I could take him to the vet, and then being bitter when I couldn't stay home that afternoon with him. The only thing that made it better was he got to spend his last day at my mom's with her dog laying in the sun.
H got the quotes back for his company's liability insurance yesterday - waaaay cheaper for the full year premium than we had anticipated.
We had already earmarked a certain amount for his start up costs, so he just freed up a ton of money to spend on additional marketing tools and extra equipment!
We had a rough weekend. DH were annoyed with each other, and it just wasn't a fun few days.
Fast forward to last night and we did a family outing to Costco to stock up a bunch of things. We had the best time. DS was perfectly behaved and followed on foot, and the store was practically empty.
I guess sometimes you just need to do something really normal and everyday to get back on track. And so much of what we've been up to has been atypical. Vacation, family visits, etc.
DH dropped our older pup off at the vet for the day. He either has kidney disease or Cushing's (for real this time, not just the steroid induced kind). So he's getting an ultrasound and a ACTH blood test.
I had to fast him this morning and he looked so sad when he realized I wasn't giving him any kibble. Poor buddy.
MIL will be out of the hospital this Friday so we are back on for hosting Easter and I don't want to. Ugh. Our house sucks for entertaining/hosting, it's a mess, and if MIL also spends the whole weekend with us, I don't think H will be much help for prep. I wonder if I can talk him into a restaurant brunch and then going back to our house to hang out.
I just got a migraine with aura that lasted almost a half hour. They are few and far between, but always such a disruption; I had to email my supervisor and let her know I had to take myself offline until it passed, because I couldn't really see my screen. So that was kind of embarrassing.
I can't believe tomorrow is April already, though March felt like a really, really long month.

Trying to figure out my kid. Did formula all weekend - forehead cleared but started having massive spit ups. Nursed last night scratching all night long.
Not sure what to do.
Pic is last night at pick up after a weekend of formula v this morning after 12 hours of nursing.
Um, that's pretty ballsy to think you'd continue to do parts of your old job when you have new responsibilities! Good riddance! You're going to rock it in your new position!
I feel pretty today. I lost 5 lbs over the last two weeks since starting WW (3 of those lbs in the last week while I had a stomach virus, lol), I washed and dried my hair and put on makeup and am wearing a new dress. AND I went for a run and it felt amazing. Also I have a haircut thursday.
It's finally april tomorrow. Longest winter in history has to come to an end.
I am feeling really in love with H and happy lately. We have both been working on ourselves, patience, anger, and on our relationship. Babies are hard, and we've had a bunch of other crap going on too in the last year, so it is nice to be back in our happy place. For now ;-)
OOOOOH, I'll insert a vent about my mom here. You know how she has opinions on everything and needs to share them loudly. So. On Greek Easter, it will be the actual birthday of Alex, and of my cousin's twins (april 12). (background info, my cousin has three kids, A who is my goddaughter, and the twins A and S). We agreed to do a joint event with Easter since they are small (1 and 4) and it is the actual day of their birthdays. Easter is also a gift giving holiday for greeks, but mostly with godchildren. The twins older sister is my goddaughter, and I have to buy her a nice gift, like shoes, or a fancy outfit. I told my mom I would buy something small for the twins, likely books.
She was HORRIFIED. "but we don't buy small gifts for birthdays! We buy BIG GIFTS FOR BIRTHDAYS!".
SAYS WHO?? WTF MOM?
(Yes, I am really annoyed at this. Don't tell me how to spend my money.)

I went to the gyno today so yeah for that being done with for a year. He asked me how my H was in the middle of the exam. They were friends in high school and college. I know it's so not a big deal but it made me want to laugh and who laugh's during a pap? Next week I go to my Dentist who is my H's BFF of over 35 years. The three of them hung out all the time. My H's friends sure poke me a lot.

My dad is a physician so my first PCP who did my pap smears was like "I'm going to be inserting the speculum into your vagina. So, how's your Dad? How's your Mom?"

If it's cushings and you have questions, let me know. Our dog was diagnosed with it early last year. It's been a lot of work, but she's doing great and we're really happy with her progress on the medication.
