Thursday PM randoms

[mlt]

It has been such a long week already and I still have to do tomorrow. My parents are coming to visit and they are driving me nuts already. My mom called to ask if she should bring me anything from their house and I snapped NO. I do not want or need any more junk to fill our small space. She always ignores me and brings tons of my old toys and clothes and books anyway.

DD keeps letting out one random cry every 2-3 mins and then staying asleep. But she's been napping for just over 2.5 hours. I think I'll just wake her up in a few mins. I feel like sometimes she has her days and night confused because she always takes at least one super long nap during the day and she's been fussy and gassy and poopy overnight recently.

But who knows, it's hard to tell when it's basically eat, sleep, poop every 2-3 hours around the clock.

DS got himself a big bowl of cereal as I was about to start dinner. Instead of getting on his case about it I told DD1 to make herself a bowl too. Dinner is served!

J had his EI assessment today. He scored at his age or above for everything but speech, which scored at 18 months. Only a 10 percent delay, so he doesn't qualify for services. I figured that would be the case, since he's gained about 10 words in the last month, but still nice to have assessment done. And we can call back in 4-6 months if he doesn't seem to still be improving.

my h is working until 8 or 9pm the rest of the week and Saturday, and he's already been working late every night since last week. L is going to bed even earlier than normal. I desperately need a break.

I'm listening to 80's love songs on Pandora ... they should just rename it Chicago's greatest hits from the 80's

HOLY COW YOU GUYS IM GOING TO HAVE TWO KIDS AS OF TOMORROW MORNING. Eeek/yay.

[rugbywife]

OMG. Worst mom moment ever. I fucked up last night and left my razor within reach in the bathtub, not just in reach, in her toy 'bag'. She destroyed the top of her thumb. . It is going to bleed for ever.

[glitzy07]

Omg you guys, the new white trim in C's new room looks SO good! I can't wait until it's all done to look at before and after photos. Five years later and a room in our house will FINALLY be completely our style! (Minus the windows, which still need to be replaced). Of course it's the room that's for a toddler who won't know or care.

We want to go out for mexican food...debating if we wake the napping newborn....

[cincodemayo]

We announced our pregnancy on Facebook tonight despite me not really wanting to. Eeek. Oh well.

I'm laying in an amazing king bed in Vegas all by myself in silence.

I should probably go explore and be touristy but NOBODY IS TOUCHING ME and it's quiet and OMG.

It is such a great pic, though. Your DS is just a cutie pie.

Quiet Vegas > Party Vegas. Does your hotel have a second pool that's secluded, so you can sit poolside without being in the combination wading pool + ultralounge?

Do it.

[niq]

Oh, I want to apologize to serious TTTC people for waaaaaahing too hard about msniq not being pregnant. I know that there are lots of people out there who have it much worse. I have seen enough confessionals with people raging about that topic that I ought to know better. We spent a long time trying to get V, and had actually resolved that next cycle we would go to a fertility specialist. Anyway things have been ... uh ... easier this time around and so I was hoping getting a BFP would go faster but nope.

Edited for clarity, sorry, this was a total word vomit.

[chickens987]

H has been saying FOREVER that he wants to learn how to cook, so I tasked him with tonight's dinner. There are pictures! And pre-portioned ingredients!

His first question was "what's a pot?"

[lindsaymg]

I swear DD is so much better during the day if we are busy. This morning we got up and I spent her awake time with her singing and playing and she watched me get ready while I sang.

Then I had to order mini cupcakes from my favorite bakery for DS's birhday and DD slept the whole time I grabbed lunch there. I didn't want to leave. It was heavenly.

Then we drove and she woke up so I stopped at a park to feed her and spend her "awake" time with her, talking to her etc then went to a local boutique and she sat propped on some pillows and watched intently cooing and smiling while I tried on clothes.

She crashed out again and I went to the post office and to run an errand to a store in a cute strip mall with tons of cute shops down the street. I had her in a sling and she was passed out so we went to all the cute little local stores there while people adored the sleepy baby.

Days like this are so much easier than the days we are just at home. She just gets bored staring at me all day.

OMG our upstairs neighbor kid is playing bass over E's room. She doesn't seem fazed. His mom must be out bc she wouldn't let him do it.

It's such a change from a house. I cannot wait for the beach next weekend.

You're living my dream. Have a drink for the rest of us!

[chickens987]

OMG h is terrible at multitasking! I think that's one thing you need to be good at to cook.

my husband is also awful. I really wonder how he survives at work, especially as a manager. 

This is terrible. I am just drinking wine and watching and sniggering. I hope it tastes good! If it doesn't he's never going to cook again.

Hey t, guess who I'm seeing on Saturday?

I saw him last night! It was a great show. He is so much better acoustic.

Do it.

I took a cat nap & ordered chinese delivery instead

Tonight is an F&%# it type of night. I'm 33w pregnant, have a cold/allergies? and once again, solo parenting a crazy toddler.

So we had Dino chicken nuggets, Tator tots, and frozen veggies. DS got to watch the entire Nemo movie (usually only do 15-20 minutes or so if I'm solo to throw together dinner). And we're skipping bath.

Today was one of those days that I hate being a manager. And working outside of the home with two kids. One of my staff had a disaster case and I had to stick around until it mostly resolved. Now I'm waiting for the edited report to come to me so I can get it to our client by 10pm. She stayed 3 hours late working on it. I have to reward her tomorrow with a gift card or something. I picked the girls up 40 minutes after daycare closed I feel so horrible about but luckily no one seemed fazed. And the asst director who stayed with them is a regular sitter of ours.
I'm thankful for Haagen Das ginger snap ice cream tonight.

[chickens987]

Dinner was so good! Yay H! (Really yay home chef, but he didn't screw it up either!)

My SIL and BIL arrived from Denmark today. Yay for more people to hold the baby and play with the 2yo!
