I'm on my way to my OBGYN to have my blood glucose level checked for pre-diabetes. Since I had GD twice, I have a high likelihood of developing Type II diabetes at some point in my life. So I have to take the 2-hour test every year. I reeeeally hope I don't have pre-diabetes already! I can accept having it in the future, but I don't want to have to start the diabetes diet while BFing. This is for sure my last baby, so it's my last chance to eat junk food to keep my milk supply up. I will be devastated if I have to go on the diabetes diet now. Come on universe, give me another year or two!
God my MIL pisses me off. Total BEC for me, obviously.
We don't have daycare this week, but neither H or I could take today off (him due to the holiday weekend, me due to a half day training). H suggested asking his mom to take a day of vacation to watch C, since she has tons. She hasn't watched him since last August when we came home and she was drunk while babysitting. H called her out on it in December and basically suggested that she won't be drinking if she's watching him during the day. I agreed to give it a try, because I had no other options.
I told her very specifically that I needed her to be at my house by 6:15 so I could run through his schedule and everything and be out of the house by 6:30 at the latest. When does she arrive? 6:35 of course. UGH.
Working from home today - Pottery Barn is scheduled to delivery some of the furniture for baby girl's room this morning! The crib and bookcase. I'm so excited. If it comes early enough, I'm meeting a friend for lunch after, but not counting on that to happen.
Looking forward to a fun weekend - there's a touch a truck event that we hope DS loves, a toddler birthday party and hanging out with my BFF and her family at their pool or community beach.
I'm excited for the weekend. DD has been so fun to be around lately. She's talking (and I actually know what she's saying! ) all the time and is generally just a happy kid. Last night when DH was gone we had such a good time. She's sleeping at my mom's tomorrow night so it will be good for DH and I to have some alone time. It's kind of his birthday weekend do-over since he was sick on his birthday. So I told him I'll do whatever he wants to do. So far he's suggested going to the driving range. Works for me!
It's okay, I am just really happy I responded well to the femara and that I ovulated. That bodes well for cycles going forward. I have felt SO much better this last month not being on Clomid anymore.
I really really want a bounce house now. I've always kind of wanted to get one but that thread yesterday made me want one even more. One of the ones linked will only be $150 next week at Target and that's reasonable, right? I mean we could leave it set up all winter in our basement and in the spring and summer it can easily be brought outside. How mad will DH be if I come home with one? Totally fixable with steak and a BJ, right??
DS2 was screaming bloody murder at 1am last night. Apparently he had another dream about 'the hand' grabbing him. We had solved his fear of his bed from his nightmare in January by getting rid of his old bed. We had had his mattress on the floor up until this past weekend when we bought him a new bed. OMFG. I have no idea what to do now.
DH is getting so frustrated with our dog Baron. We got him April 2 and DH knew he'd have issues as he had lived his entire 3 years in a kennel. He's still having accidents (almost 1 pee accident a day) and chewing stuff. DH is ready to throw in the towel, but he doesn't realize how much progress Baron has actually made, and that it'll take about 6 months for him to really settle in. I know he's frustrated, but we got Baron as a forever dog and unless he bites a kid in the face (which, won't happen as he's the sweetest pooch with the kids), he's part of our family for life.
C was watching Sesame Street this morning and kept referring to Bert and Ernie as "Ernie and Daddy." Now that he mentions it, my husband does sort of look like Bert. LOL.

MM win: our house closing got pushed back a week so I called to change the start date of our homeowner's insurance. It was too late to change the date so they had to cancel the original and do a whole new one. The annual premium went down $100! Insurance drives me crazy, but yay!
On the night H takes all wakeups, the kid decides to sleep for his longest stretch yet (six hours!). Figures!
I started WW last night and the old ladies loooooooved Jack. It was so cute. I think I'll keep bringing him. I have so much weight to lose....it is very daunting. But upside of being fat? I get a zillion points!
1. Went to the chiro yesterday. She was really nice and I felt slightly better afterwards. Today I feel good. BUT I have to go back twice next week. I sort of feared this ordeal would be more complicated than just one or two appointments. She also couldn't tell which position the baby was in. She doesn't turn babies - just helps the pelvis open. Boo.
2. Took a Unisom for the first time ever last night. Slept really well! DH said I didn't even stir when he came up at 1:30. Unfortunately I totally woke up at 5:45 to pee but I managed to get some more sleep after that.
3. We are leaving right after work to go stay with my parents. Seeing my sister's baby plus photo shoot with a local photog plus hanging with my parents. I want to be excited but there's family drama per the usual so I'm annoyed. PLUS we now got roped into also visiting my inlaws Sunday-Monday.
Rage! There were coffee grounds in the pot this morning, so I dumped it out and was going to make a small fresh pot, only to find that we are completely out of coffee. Grr... Looks like we are going to the Target with a Starbucks this morning.
Soft pretzels at work for breakfast. Chocolate tres leches cake for my snack. Leftover pesto gnocchi and shrimp for lunch. Ice cream sundaes in the parking lot after lunch.

I hate home ownership. We're having our roof replaced in a few weeks, and no less than a week after paying the deposit, we found that we have a giant hole in our plumbing pipes and have to have a few lines replaced. The plumbers were supposed to come this morning, but it looks like they'll be here during nap time (aka the only time I've been sleeping lately). Ugh, so annoying!
My child has suddenly become very interested in what she wears. She's ok with choices for now, but yall, what does this mean for the future?
In my case, DD will not wear anything except dresses. Specifically, adorable dresses that you call "Elsa dress!" when you take it out of the drawer. ::happy dance:: I'm sure this will bite me in the ass come December when it's freezing again, but I'll take the temporary victory.
I have officially lost enough weight to fit into American Eagle jeans again without looking like a stuffed sausage. VICTORY. My ass has not looked this good in years.
