Now I am at work.
I hate today already.

Yikes, matildasun tough day!

DD woke up at 1am soaked in pee. From her shoulders to her heels. Total bedding change. She was so upset!

Our MagicBands shipped! 28 days until we leave for Disney!

[chickens987]

I have an interview today (with the company 5 minutes from home). It's with SIX people 

[matildasun]

He woke up happy. My husband is bringing him to school, so he could have a lazy morning.

[sjh722]

Good luck today chickens987!

I have a lot of work to cram in today, and it's supposed to be 90 again. I'm thinking of taking the girls swimming even though I should clean and do laundry.

I think I'm having RLP. That's crazy, right? Grumble grumble second kid.

I was so much more sore the second time around. Everything was worse. I was sicker, I was sick longer, then at the end, I had random aches and pains like a geriatric pregnant person, my back went out, Etc etc etc.

Sorry.

[mdana]

N has some kind of stomach bug. He threw up five times last night and I'm so tired. We put him in the pnp in our room and I laid awake all night listening to him move around and waiting for the next puke.

I think he might be dehydrated because he isn't really peeing and he's sobbing hysterically for food but no tears are coming out. He can't keep water down. We're headed to the pedi soon. I feel terrible for him.

[countthestars]

It's like work is trying to kill me. Oh, you are 36 weeks? Here are 3 needy clients, 4projects that need to be finished basically yesterday, your manager is leaving the company, and oh, by the way, could you train this new person who is taking on some but not all of your clients (and it's not quite clear which ones so just teach her everything you know).

SURE THAT SOUNDS LIKE FUN guyz.

Not crazy. It's bad for me.

It's the last real day of summer for my middle child. Tomorrow is meet the preschool teacher and then it starts Tuesday. So, I'm going to try and make it a fun day for him. It's going to be death hot so I was thinking of maybe going to the zoo early, then heading to the children's museum before lunch, although we were just there Tuesday.

There's a parent meeting tonight and I planned on just going by myself. I mean, DD went to this same program for the last two years and DS1 has the same teacher. She won't be telling us anything we don't already know. DH was all icky about it last night wanting to come too. However, I feel like we have kind of over relied on my dad recently for babysitting and we're using our teenage babysitter Saturday and next Saturday... So, just let me go to the 30 minute meeting myself

My kid is fat.
I don't feel like she eats terrible but we do indulge her in ice cream and cake. Not daily. More like weekly. I let her have Popsicles but again not daily.
She eats well but she does eat a lot of carbs. She eats veggies and fruits. She is actually such a good kid. Not picky.
People kept saying - oh she will outgrow the baby fat. But she isn't. People say school stretches them out.
She does dancing and swimming. I am signing her up for gymnastics.
I don't want her to do too much.
The nanny takes her out every day - park or somewhere.
Am I over reacting? The doctor didn't even weigh her at her shots.

[namasteak]

After 20 months of calling me NOTHING DS started saying mommy yesterday <3! He has also started saying "beep beep" when playing with his trucks which is pretty cute.

I think we will go to Dunkin and the big HomeGoods/TJ Maxx before my midwife appointment this morning.

[rikki]

I might have a problem. As we went through the drive thru this morning E yelled from the backseat "just large diet coke please." He knows his mama.

My daughter used to play Starbucks at that age. And she would always order my usual order. And when she would play barbies, 9/10 her barbies took the car to Starbucks drive through.

When we walked up to the ice cream window the other night DD said "in a cone in a cup please!" because that's how H orders it.

I was thinking about you last week.  DD2 had her 4 yo well visit.  She weighs 52#, off the charts for a 4 yo.  She's in the 97th %il for height, so tall too, but her BMI is too high (according to pedi...I'm not sure what BMI for a 4 yo really gives you).  She just eats a ton.  Like your DD, mostly decent, some bad, a lot good.  She just likes to eat.  She gets a decent amount of activity in too.  Pedi wants us to focus on limiting overall intake and letting her help us choose and prep the food so that's she's even more interested in veggies.  She's a meat-atarian for sure.  Put anything meat in front of her and she's asking for seconds and thirds.  We are also supposed to work on limiting her milk intake a bit (all skim, but again, she drinks a lot of milk).  Overall, the pedi isn't worried, but does want us to work on developing healthy habits now.  I'm trying to get her to go "running" with me every now and again, as well as we're trying to do more bike riding too. 

Hang in there.  Focus on healthy relationships with food.  DH told DD2 once she couldn't have more of something because her tummy was too big.  I lost my mind on him (later).  He had no idea why that was such a bad thing to say.  Well, he does now!!

If she us eating well and exercising that is all you can do. I do think that maybe you obsess about this a little more than is healthy for either of you. It is so hard though.

I have the day to myself and I have soooo much to do. We are leaving for the shore tonight and I have someone coming to clean my house tomorrow, so I need to pack myself and both girls and declutter the house. It's my BFF's mom so I will probably do some cleaning so she doesn't think I'm a complete dirt bag. Oh, and I'm bringing lunch to my friend who just brought twins home from the NICU. And I have to pump. Yet here I am...

I'm so sleepy that I'm actually trying to figure out if there's somewhere I can hide out and take a quick nap. Took an extra diclectin this morning so I'm less nauseous but dang girl, I can't keep my eyes open.

Oh man I feel you. I was so tired first tri that I pretty much slept in my car at every lunch.

I celebrated my under one pound weight gain the past two weeks and good blood pressure at my appointment with a spicy chicken biscuit. So yummy.

I ate like utter shit the last 5-6 weeks and my weight pretty much stalled. I hope the same for you!

#goals

@starry - same with me. Ice cream daily, carbs galore and I think in the last 5 or 6 weeks I only gained 2 or 3 lbs.

I really think not having high blood pressure and dealing with all the water retention/swelling issues helped. Hope it's the same for you.

[karinothing]

It was a mistake to shower before my walk. Sun + hills + humidity = sweaty mess.

It will be nice when it is not humid anymore. Come on fall

[darnkatz]

I found the toddler's spirit animal. This is totally her in the morning until you give her food. She's so fucking hangry the second she wakes up.

[jeaniebueller]

The power outage last night really screwed my plans to clean my house for my visitors this weekend.

We had open house last night. It just occurred to me that I am so glad that we are done with kindergarten and show and tell. Although I am guessing that will be made up by having actual homework. Womp womp.

Thanks for weighing in. I look at all the other kids and they are so small. Picky eater? I wish. Lol. No seriously I don't want it to be my fault that she has issues later - it's hard to make changes later. Plus kids are mean.
And matildasun, I sound obsessed here but I fear that in real life I don't put my money where my mouth is. I'm in denial. When my H says she is chubby, I say no way. He doesn't say it to her.

I feel the same way.  And lord knows I'm way heavier than is healthy for me.  I try really hard not to project my issues on her.  With my DD, it's going to hit her like a ton of bricks someday.  DD1 is 7 and now weighs about 5 lbs less (DD2 is still a few inches shorter, but not much).  I am buying them the same size clothes.  They can almost share shoes.  DD3 is tiny so far too.  DD2's going to be the biggest of the three, and likely surrounded daily by two tiny sisters.  I'm hoping we can teach her the best habits we can now.  And hoping I can adjust mine in my attempts to help her.

I am on day 3 of my trip to Disneyland and I am already exhausted. It is just two parks, 4 adults and 1 kid and we stop everyday for an afternoon nap.

How do people visit DisneyWorld with multiple kids and take trips for 5+ days? It would probably be the death of me. I walk everywhere at home but I guess I am not walking 8 + miles a day.

[starburst]

One of my BFFs had her beta for her IVF this morning. Not only did she not POAS beforehand, she asked the RE to just leave a message on her voicemail with the results so she and her H can listen to it together this evening. I would go completely nuts knowing that the results were on my voicemail, but I had to wait until the end of the day to find out!

No suspension for Tom Brady. Suck it haters!!

We booked our tickets for Asia in January. 25+ hour travel time with an 18 month old.

It will be an adventure, that's for sure.
