Oh no, that sounds awful! I hope you are all able to sleep tonight. I'm so sick and miserable. I can't remember the last time I was this sick; the pregnancy immune system sucks. I hope I'll get some relief tomorrow.
I'm sorry, that sounds awful I hope she sleeps better for you tonight.
We had such a nice weekend away. It was kind of like, "hey I remember you. I knew there was a reason I liked you," lol. It really reinforced for me that we need to make more of an effort to get out of the house without the kids. At least once a month or so.

I'm sorry @this!
I'm going back to work tomorrow. Even though I will be with my H all day, and doesn't start day care until (at least) September, I keep bursting into tears. I don't want to be a SAHM and I don't want to go to work and leave my baby. :*(

Tears all over aging. Tell me it gets easier?
It gets easier and then it gets awesome. You get to be an adult, all day, have adult conversations, drink coffee and pee uninterrupted. Your day isn't dependent on naps. Then you get home and they're SO STINKING CUTE and they clearly missed you and love you.

Poor gal! I hope you resolve the ant situation quickly and she sleeps tonight.
J is sick. I posted this morning that it was a runny nose but by this afternoon, he had a full-on fever, eyes were watering, he was sneezing and so lethargic. He also can't breathe through his nose, apparently, and his mouth was hanging open most of the afternoon.
He didn't take a nap and was up at 3:30 this morning. We just put him down at 6pm and he just cried and cried. DH rocked him to sleep and put him in his crib. He fell asleep. Pray for us that he sleeps tonight.

My random - my BFFs SIL is due in 2 weeks. My BFF and her mom found out today that the SIL has never seen an OB, never had an ultrasound, didn't take prenatal vitamins, and is measuring WEEKS behind. They are estimating the baby to be 5lb 9oz at the very, very most. They're also refusing a stress test and she refuses to be induced, despite the fact that something is clearly wrong here. She won't go to a hospital, only her doula. The doula isn't helping either.

Oh that sounds terrible @this.
M's sleep has been all fucked up since we got back from our trip. It took him TWO HOURS to fall asleep for his nap today and he will only go to sleep at night if DH cuddles with him until he falls asleep. I need my good sleeper back!
The shingles seem to no longer be spreading and aren't as painful as they were yesterday. Which is nice. I'm still contemplating working from home again tomorrow though as it's uncomfortable as hell to wear a shirt at this point.

that sounds awful , @this!
I completed my Pinterest insanity today -"cheap and easy" colored rice. Lol, yeah, $25 later for my kid to play with rice if f'ing insanity. But once I started I was like, " no, I'm committed. I'm going to finish this whatever it costs !" Let just say I seriously underestimated the cost if the dye for that quality of rice. But it's pretty, no?
And yes, sadly the purple is a bit on the black side
We just got back from a prom themed murder mystery party at a friend's house. Our host got a DQ cake with "Murder Cake YAY!" written on it. It was obviously a fun time.

I'm terrified for this baby.
Not saying she shouldn't get prenatal care because obviously she should. But with DS1 I measured about 8 weeks behind and DS1 was 5lbs 14oz, but perfectly healthy. So a small belly and baby dont necessarly mean something is wrong. I hope everything is OK.
I love the rice, cricketwife! My son played with that at a class and was obsessed.
Oh good! I hope he loves it! I'm saving it for a sensory play date next month where it will start all separate like a rainbow and get all mixed as the kids play with it. I hope they love it and I hope it's enough rice. I'm not making more!

A valid point. I think if she'd taken good care of herself during the pregnancy, there would be less cause for alarm. As it stands she maintained her usual vegan gf diet, and it's damn tough to get enough cal and protein doing that.
Looks good cricketwife! I make some every year for my classroom and yeah it's time consuming. If you're looking for another sensory table idea dry beans work great. I bring my water table in in the winter and switch out the sensory items and DD loves it.

We had a pretty good day. DD slept in until 8:30 and I woke up early then went back to bed until 9:30. We spent the morning playing out front and I completely cleaned the inside of my car. It needed it. Then we all slept 1-4!!
After naps we went to Kohls where DH got tons of new work clothes and I got a pair of black pants and Kohl's cash I'll be using in a few weeks. Now we're just watching the Vikings and relaxing tonight.

I've been trying to reinforce with DD that we use our words, not our hands or feet because she will often add a slight slap or kick when she says "no!" So the other day when I said no hands or feet, she said "bum?" And now will turn around and bop us with her butt instead. It's kind of insanely hilarious.
@this, that sounds awful. Poor girl. Don't beat yourself up, you didn't know.
Today has just been long. Trying to figure out car seat shit.
My mom's convertible doesn't have a top tether anchor, and she will be taking PSB to preschool every day. So, I'm trying to figure out that situation. I'm annoyed as hell
My car did not have them (too old) Toyota installed them for free. But I am guessing your mom's car is post 2001. The anchors are pretty easy to self install, assuming the car's anatomy permits it
I *think* C's fever may have broken. Knock on wood. It was 98.9 when I checked him before bed. He felt warm still, so I did give him one more dose of Tylenol.
I called in sick for tomorrow, since he won't be 24 hours fever free for daycare. H and I decided to start the new season of True Detective tonight, but I'm really hoping to get some sleep afterward.
Poor DH. He's in charge of DS in the evenings b/c DD usually falls asleep on me. Tonight DS asked to leave his room to go potty, he peed "like a quart jar's worth" according to DH, and DS flipped his full potty over onto the floor. Poor DH is cleaning it up.
I'm going back to work tomorrow. Even though I will be with my H all day, and doesn't start day care until (at least) September, I keep bursting into tears. I don't want to be a SAHM and I don't want to go to work and leave my baby. :*(

This is me too! I go back tomorrow and while I've been okay up til today the later it's gotten tonight the more I've cried. J does go to the sitter for the first time tomorrow and H and I both have long days scheduled. I love my job and I'm excited to work again, but this is harder than I thought it would be.
