Oh crap. I just checked our bank accounts. The reality of reduced incomes because of mat leave just hit (it's been like 17 months almost that we have been on reduced income, I am surprised we made it this long without having to make adjustments). I have to give up starbucks. And all my random purchases. I have to be an adult and I hate it.
I have to go to the outlet mall to do a return tomorrow. Since it is close to where my dad works (30 min outside town) I asked if he wanted to do lunch with me and DD knowing he would want to show her off to his office. So now I am stupidly overthinking her outfit to make sure it is "show off" worthy. I realize how stupid that sounds.
Today was my day off. H stayed with Ethan while I enjoyed not being in charge. I didn't do much. Pumped. Organized the house. Laundry. Homegoods. Starbucks. But I was not in charge of a baby and it was nice. I missed him. Lucky for H he slept like all day so he got to do some work.
So I managed to research my mom's "we don't have any" family back into the 1500s. Both her paternal and maternal sides showed up in America in the 1600s. LOL, GTFO with that shit mom.
It's not all positive news. They were Prohibitionists and Loyalists. But, they fought for the Union side in the Civil War, so at least we're 1 for 3. I think I'm going to map all this out and print it out for her Christmas present.
DS is 17 months old and I finally understand the phrase "touched out." DH has been out of town for a week and a half. In this time, DS has developed some super annoying tendencies- like pulling the lamp off the end table, throwing small things in the trash can and then trying to retrieve them, screaming for no apparent reason, and pretty much stopped eating anything with decent nutritional value. I'm so ready for a break! I'm trying to relax and unwind after a stressful day of work and he's trying to climb me like a jungle gym. SERENITY NOW!!

And make sure the back up outfit is super cute too.
H is doing his fantasy football draft now and I just got done making lactation cookies to drop off to a friend tomorrow. H is off until Tuesday! I am so excited to have him for for four days. My ILs are coming to visit tomorrow afternoon and then babysitting while H and I go out to dinner.
And...X pooped on the potty after his bath tonight! He was SO excited. He looked in the toiled and said, "big poooop" (in a darth vadar voice) and then said "I did that!"

DS started army crawling tonight! Only about 3 months earlier than his sister did, ha. He couldn't resist the allure of a tv remote on the floor. Babyproofing starts now.
DD1 can get herself out of the car seat now. Chest clip and all. Super.
I am ready to quit taking Zoloft. I may as well have lit my diet bet $ on fire. I feel so gross and so hungry all the time.
My dd just started on Zoloft yesterday. Is it going to make her eat constantly?
My appetite was zero for the first week or two. It's normal now. I think this is highly variable.
My doctor said prozac makes some people lose weight, lol. I thought about it, but I don't think it's a guarantee so I went with the zoloft she generally finds people have better luck with.
Had an interview today but didn't get the job. I didn't care for the lady and knew it wouldn't work but I'm so anxious to leave my position. I feel like I don't know what kind of job I want or what type of company (Accounting).
so like... you both need iPhones? iPhone people can't spy on us poor Android users?
I think so. iMessages (between 2 iPhones) are a different color than text messages. Most iPhone users have the read receipt thing disabled, I think, but sometimes it will tell you "received" or "read 4:17" when you text another iPhone.
We went to meet the teacher night at preschool tonight. That plus day 5 pp hormones are killing me. I just want DD to be happy. She is a happy child, but I'm worried being so different from the other kids will kill her spirit. I know I need to have more faith in her.
