Sunday evening weekend wrap up randoms

[Brie]

Mom currently has C out to dinner and I'm rocking P to sleep. Then when they get home H and I are going out for Mexican food. Margarita time!

[skib]

@starry, at least she used the proper anatomical terms?? So funny!

I have literally been in bed all weekend. I've slept at least 24 of the last 48 hours. Is this what early pregnancy is like? It's been five years, and I'm in my 30s now, so I'm thinking maybe I don't remember what it was like with DD? I'm feeling like the worst wife/mother in the world.

I'm a little nervous to work tonight with this stupid super moon/eclipse. Anticipating crazy times in vagina land.

[lauren170]

I've had like 3 or 4 pregnancy symptoms this week, but I have a Paraguard IUD. I'm thinking it is all in my head. Actually looking forward to getting my period for, like, the first ever.

oh yeah my BMB is going crazy with WILL WE ALL HAVE OUR BABIES TONIGHT.

My personal guess for myself is no. hahaha

Lol! One of my friends is 36 weeks and known for pre term labor. I told her I would likely see her tonight

[namasteak]

I think we are in the 2 wk growth spurt because Ds2 has been nursing CONSTANTLY this afternoon.

I'm really really anxious about my first day with both boys tomorrow.

[glitzy07]

Omfg, we spent $400 (and way too much time) at Home Depot today. I'm equal parts annoyed/horrified by the spend and ridiculously excited to finally see a room in our house done from start to finish. C's big boy room will be the first one with brand new white trim, white solid core doors and the right color hardware and outlet covers.

I made C go to bed early and I'm sending SS to bed a half hour early too. I need some time alone and some dark chocolate pretzel thins that I refuse to share.

I had a rough weekend. Piper was fine, but I left the house exactly twice (breakfast, gym) and I am exhausted. I mean, at least I know now why I'm struggling so much to find energy and feel completely overwhelmed. The downside to the diagnosis is that I feel like I can use it as an excuse. "Sorry, don't want to go out. Depression."

I'm also nervous about my mom's visit. She's a big runner and it's her main hobby so she talks about it a lot. It's going to stress me out.

[yellowbrkrd]

We put M down thirty minutes early. I could not take the whining anymore.

[krystee]

I am actually excited for Monday for once because that means it is getting closer to Thursday, when my mom and I are taking J to my parents' lake house! I cannot wait for the fall colors, the fresh air (seriously, the smell of the air is just...EVERYTHING. It instantly relaxes me), the blanket of stars you can see at night...I am practically giddy. Also, just being away from my to-do list at home will be awesome.

[countthestars]

I'm going to have some pineapple juice and finish packing my hospital bag juuuust in case this moon starts my labor.


Also lol I am totally having an October baby.

[babyrn]

The two week wait sucks. And the progesterone shots give you all the pregnancy symptoms which is just really cruel if the FET didn't work. I'm trying to be optimistic but I am a worrier by nature.

[Saudade]

Today was not awesome. The kids and I had an outing this morning. It went ok. DS1 had a couple of episodes of not listening. However, on the return to home I prepped him for spending the next little bit cleaning and then we'd go to the park.

It all went to shit then. DS1 would not listen. At all. He wouldn't help clean. He got an attitude. I lost it and yelled at him. Spoiler alert: it didn't work. Duh. We try to do positive discipline but that went out the window. I hate my actions but I didn't know what to do.

I think 3 is going to kill me.

[Saudade]

Also, I totally wanted to smack DS. I didn't. But I wanted to.

And then I cried. And DS1 was sweet. Which made me feel even worse for yelling. Fuck it all.

[bowies]

Something isn't right. TMI-ish.

My period showed up early. That is not normal for me. Really manageable the first couple of days. Then yesterday I start going through super jumbo tampons quickly. I had a clot fall out. I've felt spacey all day. Should I be calling a doctor? I would feel silly calling about a bad period though.

I would call just in case! That's why they are there.

babyrn, I'm so glad I'm not working with the supermoon tonight. Tonight and the next couple days should be crazy!

Today was a good day. Church was nice. A former patient stopped me after and we chatted. She was my patient about a month before I delivered, and said she saw me and told her husband, "oh [pooh] had her baby!" My son was still in the infant room at the time but it will be nice to see them regularly now. I remember them being a nice couple.

The weather was glorious this evening so we stuck E in the stroller and went on a long walk.

Good luck! I hope everyone goes well!

So I found my old American girl dolls and accessories at my parents' house. My girls went crazy.


*poof*

I'm stalking a lularoe launch party. It's embarrassing how many times I've refreshed.

the other day I told J if she didn't stop doing something (can't remember what), I would spank her. 

I wasn't going to spank her but I was so effing pissed. I don't even know if she knows what spanking is.

Parenting is hard.

I told him I was throwing all of his toys away. Obviously I am not, but it just fell out of my mouth. So then he's picking them up and DS2 grabs one and DS1 says "oh no E, we can't play with these, they're all going in the garbage." 

Thank you for the story. I am glad to know I'm not the only one.

We are home from Port A (a beach in Texas). We had a great time with our friends there. We totally "zone parent" each other's kids and just fit well which makes our time together completely stress free.

Now we are home and the house is a disaster and we have a mountain of laundry.

DS' birthday is Sunday and I have no idea what to get him.

[hermione]

Dear Sinuses, or cold, or whatever this is,

Please let me have more oxygen.

Thanks,
Me

I just applied to a job I would LOVE and was posted on Friday. Now, I'm kinda freaking out.

I see ALOT of TV in DS1's future. And I have a few new toys for him (annoying vtech animals he LOVES)

[pinotgrig]

I think I can shave a few lbs off my height/weight post thanks to an aggressive stomach bug that started yesterday. I think it's screwed up our timing this month, to boot. Blargh.

Y'all E was so good at the play date today. I was worried she would be super shy and not play much, but she was a rockstar. She even talked with my BFF's parents (we were at their house).

Tomorrow is BSC buyers 2nd final walk through. Please cross everything that this bitch closes Tuesday and we don't have to get our lawyer involved.
