Add yours!
Mom is still in the hospital...heading down there once C wakes up for a shorter visit today. We have to go to Costco on the way home too...yesterday was a long day (we were there for 4 hrs plus 1 hr of driving) and today is going to be the same, more or less. I was hoping to stay home tomorrow and have a "normal" day. Well, water company just showed up and will be tearing up our street (right in front of our house) all day tomorrow starting at 8 am. No way C can nap...he even told me to plan to leave if I want him to sleep (his room faces the street). And then my parents (dad and step mom) are coming over on Thurs...this week is just crazy.
On top of that...DH and I have back to back 3-day weekends and were hoping to have some good family time (DH can't take a lot of time off these next 4 months or so due to changes at his work...he even wanted to take Friday off but I told him it was a waste since I will likely have to help with my mom). My mom's health hurdle is obviously putting that on hold and everything is up in the air as she will need help when she gets home. Found out yesterday that my brother is in a wedding Sat and has plans for his anniversary Sunday...he's already leaving for Europe the following weekend...oh, and his wife is off for summer break and he works part time right now so it would be nice if I could keep my weekends somewhat open when DH is home. I know this sounds super bratty of me and I really do want to help my mom and be here for her but I've also done so much these past months and I was really looking forward to some quality time with my little family.
ETA: Still not sure when my mom will get to come home either...they did a CT scan to check for pulmonary embolism and an echocardiogram to rule out heart issues causing her breathing problems. We do know that she will be coming home with oxygen when she does leave the hospital, which she's really upset about (her bf had oxygen and she relates it to someone being really sick...I think she's also scared that she might not bounce back from this but that doesn't seem to be the long term prognosis). More than likely she's just upset that she won't be so independent once she's home and will need all our help.
So apparently yesterday was a busy day at work, yet I was at home. My boss told me this morning that the nurse that was working said she didn't need help yesterday. That same nurse publicly vented on FB last night how crappy the shift was and that she wasn't allowed to call me in. So... I don't know the whole story.
I did tell my boss that all this on call time is causing trouble at home because my paychecks are short and I can't use PTO to cover the missing shifts. She suggested that I schedule myself for the same dates as our PRN person and bump her off! Wtf! Ok a) she is not disposable so I won't treat her as such, b) she is going through a divorce and needs the money and c) I actually like this person and want her to continue liking me so I'm not going to force her off work.
I just wish there were more mother/baby jobs locally. I'm getting thisclose to being done with this place.
luv2rn4fun ((HUGS)) lady. Prayers up for your Mom!
They stench in the office FINALLY let up. I took an early lunch and escaped the office to get some oxygen. I'm within a few weeks of telling work I am pregnant. I plan on "nicely" asking if they will discontinue using that in the building. You know it's bad when non-pregnant women (and men!) are having to go outside for fresh air. Kudos to our building manager who had her quit using that formula about halfway through...he got a big thank you from me!
MrsMB What is the stench? I'm SO sensitive to smells right now.
My vent is my mom keeps telling me what to eat, and it's things I have no intention of eating. It was really hot here yesterday, so she kept on and on about how I should drink buttermilk. Um, no.

Oh dear...no buttermilk for me either!
She's using some AWFUL concentrated cleaner. She's never used it before. Our building manager walked in the break room from outside the building. Immediately after opening the door, he goes, "WHAT happened in here?!" It was that bad.
I'm sick of feeling like I'm the only adult in my apartment. I really wish H would get better about cleaning up after himself. I know I have some work to do in this area too but it's so much harder when I find pieces of cereal on the floor, no clean bottles, and random stuff all over. Ugh!
I'm also sick of my one cat. I'm so damn sick of him peeing on things. Luckily the latest things have been a cat toy and a scratching pad thing, but seriously. We can't just never put anything on the floor in fear he's going to pee on it! This is the main reason our bedroom is so full of junk. We lock them out so all of the blankets, E's play mat, etc is in a pile in there. Sometimes I wish I were ok with giving away pets but I'm just not so I guess I'll deal with it and hope it gets better when we have more space!
We're stuck with ILs for 21 more days. Hope to God that closing this time around goes as scheduled.
MIL scarred my little puppy. He's now afraid to play with other pups at class and at playtime. I really hope that the next three weeks here don't make this his new permanent personality and that the three weeks don't give Moo permanent anxiety.

Thanks ladies! Had a good visit with Mom and Costco went good til I got home...the box fell off our ice chest (I was in a hurry and not thinking so it fell when I opened my hatchback)...broke DH's 22oz craft beer EVERYWHERE. Oh well...mess is picked up and I can buy him a new one.
Good news is that mom's tests came back great and she will hopefully e going home weds or thurs! And maybe without oxygen!! Bro and SIL are visiting her now, aunt and nephew later...bro is staying at mom's house and will be here tomorow.
wanderingenough- can we take them together!?! I need one too...hope you gets break soon!
pooh8402- wish they would hve just called you in...doesn't make sense if they need help and know you want to work! So frustrating!
MrsMB- glad you were able to get out for some fresh air! Hope the stench stays away for your and everyone else's sake!
@moonbeam- buttermilk never sounds good, pg or not!
grover- hope these next 21 days fly by an all goes smoothly with closing! ((hugs))
ewall- it's been nearly 100 degrees every day for what seems like forever. I am so ready for summer to be over or for it to be about 10-15 degrees cooler!

[b9r] oddly enough, some storms rolled through last night and it's now a breezy and pleasant 75 outside. Hope the heat breaks for you guys soon!

That sounds heavenly! Our forcast shows 90s every day and lows in the upper 60s with a low of 70 for Monday It's been so dry here (serious drought conditions...like you can't wash your car, water your yard, etc water restrictions) that I think we're doomed for a very hot summer.
My body is so out of whack. I'm going in to my OB tomorrow for a bunch of PCOS-related labs to get those hormones under control. I had 10 tubes of blood drawn yesterday for my allergist. My pituitary tumor can't be treated while I'm breastfeeding and I'm supposed to just deal with my thyroid hormones fluctuating and being out of whack until September since PP hormones would cause it to change a bunch. I need to see my PCP because my OB can't change my BP meds because, well, she's an OB. I need to see a dermatologist to deal the psoriasis that I've developed since I've given birth but that's near the bottom of my list. I also haven't had my haircut in 7 months.
The gutters need cleaning. There's a growing brown spot on our ceiling that's coming from DS's bathtub. I need to schedule the people to install our toilets. I was supposed to reschedule the people to measure our floors but haven't had time.
To top it all off, my coworker went to help a c-section baby in respiratory distress at 0615, brought the kid to the NICU, and dumped her on me to admit while she skipped on home. Thanks coworker. I will now go sleep 3 hours before I need to pick W up from daycare.

HUGE ((hugs)) MrsAggie. Sorry you are dealing with so much right now. So, my thyroid is all messed up PP too...but my RE is managing it (I saw a PCP I wasn't a fan of but who ran the tests...got the results and contacted my RE who is happy to manage it). I increased my meds by 37 mg/day compared to pre-pg and will have it checked again in a few weeks. I think it's important to get it under control, especially since I know you want to TTC sooner than later. Mine was high 3 something (maybe 3.75ish) and she wanted it down to below 2.5 since I will TTC within the next 6 months or so. Hope you can get all your hormonal stuff figured out soon (for lack of better words)!

I have a regular endo who manages my hypothyroidism and pituitary adenoma. My OB tested my thyroid at my 6 week checkup and I was a little hyper- at the time. I went to my endo and he was all, meh, it's going to go up and down so just come back in September. I really hadn't thought about contacting my RE before TTC. I actually contacted my OB about maybe going on BCP to manage the hormonal shift with PCOS and she decided to draw labs before suggesting a treatment. I haven't had a period in 5 months even though I had awful cramps the other night, I've gained some weight, my face has been breaking out, and sometimes I feel a little depressed- which really only happened when my PCOS was untreated before. Do you think maybe I should just see my RE?

It's really up to you. Are you still BFing/pumping? That's likely why your period hasn't returned. The depression could very well be PPD...I know I definitely have my days with that as well and didn't before (except when dealing with my losses). I also have cramping but don't have PCOS...so I'm thinking it's just my body trying to get back to normal. My OB did recommend not getting pregnant for 1 year to allow my body time to recover from pregnancy and my c/s...so I know our bodies do weird things post birth.
You can always reach out to your RE and see what they suggest. I told mine that my thyroid was off and I wanted it managed because we will be TTC in a few months and we also aren't preventing (but are hardly having sex anyways).
