Tuesday Afternoon!

[simpsongal]

Hope days are going well.  I've been super busy at work and I'm sweating like a laborer despite sitting in a sleeveless shirt and air conditioning.  Yay third tri?

Can someone link the thread about shipping and doing B/S/T?  I'm thinking of posting some of DS's stuff (if I can part with it!).

Today is DDs first day at her daycare center. I can watch online what's happening and so I've been doing so a lot today. Seems like she is doing well, and I am amazed that she is napping! I missed when they put her down so hoping it went OK. I have to laugh though, she is the only walker in the room, and there is one kther crawler. DD keeps stealing toys from other babies and walking away.. and they can't follow her! But I also noticed she is being very sweet to a baby that was in a swing/rocker and has taken to one of the teachers already. She went over and sat in her lap on her own to read together.

I'm trying to be productive for work, been all over the place and on many calls so that's kind of a bummer.

Feeling mighty accomplished today. My SIL and her friend are arriving tonight to stay with us for a week so I have a long list of to do's. So far I have washed, dried and put away two loads of laundry, cleaned the entire house from top to bottom, and made hummus and baklava.

I cannot keep my eyes open. I'm debating an afternoon coke zero.

simpsongal, buy some poly mailers and a food or mail scale from amazon.

Also if you think you might do larger bundles/lots get some of these: store.usps.com/store/browse/uspsProductDetailMultiSkuDropDown.jsp?productId=P_EP14PE

I have never seen them at a post office and they are free to order and have delivered. It's a flat rate and you can fit a good amount in there.

DD is back at preschool!!! I am hanging out at the starbucks across the street and getting blog posts cranked out. And I can do the same the next 2 afternoons!!! LIFE IS GOOD!!

[biogirl21]

I'm at my new part-time job and so bored. I've had one 8 top and I've been here since 11. Get to leave at 4, thank goodness. Hour 15 left. And I have a headache.

[rootbeerfloat]

Today, we were discussing whether I went to preschool, and DD asked if she was alive then (a common question for her). DS told her I went to preschool "way back in the 1900s."

Our golden had a hematoma in his ear so it had to get drained today. The vet kept him for a few hours then H is going to pick him up. Poor guy.

Ds2 has been napping on me most of the day. No complaints here.

Eta - I'm having major sids anxiety right now, though. I'm thisclose to ordering either an owlet or a snuza. It's made worse by the fact we recently moved ds2 to his crib, he sttn, and is almost 2 months old. Apparently the risk is higher in the 2-3 month age range.

The glass company is here because my sliding glass door is a pain in the ass to open and close. They are running a vacuum and I'm pretty sure it's because I've never vacuumed the track. Oops!

I really need to go to the eye doctor. I've stopped wearing my contacts for like a month now and my eyes are still bothering me. This happened to me once before and the doctor had no explanation or cure so I'm hesitant to go again, but ugh. I hate glasses.

And I'm ridiculously relieved that a neighbor I friend requested accepted me. It was only like 48 hours but I was paranoid.

After 5 days of travel, eating out most meals, and lots of desserts, I only gained about 1lb. That said, I somehow need to lose 2 + clothing weight by Monday for the diet bet. Womp womp.

If it will help you sleep, do it. We have an angelcare monitor for A and it saved me a ton of sleepless nights. Well worth the $100 we spent on it.

[bowies]

I took the afternoon to get some adulting done. Scheduled my van to get its paint protector; made dentist, eye, and hair appointments; and started organizing the nursery. It looks worse than when I started but at least I know where things are now and I can assess the clothing situation. I need to exchange some NB stuff for 0-3 month stuff.

I also have a buttload of boy clothes to unload but I'm going to have to wait until DD is home. I don't have the time or patience.

[laurenh]

pinotgrig I totally understand. We bought a Snuza for R when she came home from surgery because I was panicked about not having her on monitors, it definitely eased my anxiety to a normal level lol. We would have bought the owlet but it was still beta at that point.

[mskitkat]

And we are back at the pedi. 😓 I called the nurse line and was told to bring her in ASAP OMG RIGHT NOW. So here I am.

The amount of nonsense I have wasted money on because it made me feel better at the time would make you choke. I don't regret a single penny. If an owlet makes you feel better, do it.

I hope she's ok.

My mom was all "I guess DD doesn't like cantaloupe" when she wouldn't touch it Sunday night at dinner. I thought it was odd she didn't eat it, because she eats all the fruit.

Except, I have some in my lunch today - it's not that good. But of course I'm going to eat it because I'm 15 weeks and HUNGRY ALL THE TIME.

[simpsongal]

Is there another kids clothing store I'm overlooking? I'm looking for sweaters for DS and not loving what I'm seeing at the following:

Gap, Old Navy, H&M, Crazy 8, Children's Place, Gymbo, Carters, Mini Boden.

I haven't checked Janie & Jack, Macy's, or Ralph Lauren but I was hoping to keep costs under control

[waterchurch]

I didn't get a chance to eat much breakfast, but we met a friend for lunch today and being hungry made my burger taste so good. Now I am happily full.

[blueberry10]

We have family pictures scheduled for couple of weeks from now and I can't decide whether to let DS stay looking like a shaggy baby/toddler for one last time or to take him for a haircut. So I'm obsessing over it.

fashionx , I'm glad your DD's day is going well!

DD got sunburned from the back of her neck to the top of her bathing suit. I just forgot to put lotion on her there. I feel so sad. Her little back is all burned/tanned. I have a cool wash cloth on it while she sleeps and DH is getting some aloe Vera gel. Is there any thing else I can do? Ughh - I feel awful.

Ouch! ibuprofen to bring down the inflammation, apple cider vinegar dabbed on with a cotton ball. Keep it super moisturized - put the aloe in the fridge.

Good news: I pumped 5oz this morning (while DD nursed from the other side) in 8 minutes. I love the spectra!

Bad news: I left it on the counter, something fell out of the cabinet, and it got knocked to the floor and all spilled out

[HoneySpider]

DS was really fussing before. I put on The Doors radio on Pandora and he calmed right down. I'm so glad my baby apparently has good taste in music

[yellowbrkrd]

My supply has plummeted and nothing I have tried is bringing it back up. I'm so bummed. I have a decent stash in the freezer but it's going fast. This is exactly what happened with M and I had to stop nursing before I was ready. S is my last baby and I don't want to be done until I WANT to be done. 😞

Yesterday I didn't give myself enough room and stabbed my butt into a corner display at the grocery store. I now have a bruise on the left cheek. #pregnancyproblems
