What is up with your bump/baby making/baby?
I need a baby fix so share pics! Except of your baby making exploits.  That might get us kicked off proboards

I kinda feel less nauseated for once! Yay third tri!  Heart burn sucks but dang at least I'm not gagging all day long.  
Next week is Spring Break and our wild plans include working on the nursery.  Starting in May my plans are to prep for a sub either this year or next year and get report cards done so I will have very little time for baby stuff on the weekends. April is kinda the month to get that done even if it is early. May and June are just stupid busy in teacher land

I am going to try to post a pic but my phone hates me since its newest update. ..so if this doesn't work sorry...

And now I have a real computer so I can post the pic. Sheesh.

I hope this picture doesn't show up as huge as it looks on my computer. ETA: Ugh, it did. Sorry.

Anyway, I'm actually 22w 4d today. Baby is kicking me all the time now, especially in the bladder. That seems to be her favorite.

My acne is starting to die down, but my hormones are RAGING. I snapped at my husband a couple of times this week over stuff that probably isn't that big a deal, but SEEMS like a huge deal. (Example: He asked me how my back was feeling. I was like, "Fine, why?" He said, "Oh, I read that some women's backs bother them during pregnancy." My response should have just been, "Oh, thanks for your concern!" But instead, it was, "Every pregnancy is different and if you were reading the baby books you'd know that and you should really be asking me about something that you know has actually been bothering me, LIKE MY LEGS." Yeah. Total bitchfest.)

In my defense, two of the things I yelled at him about were legit. One was that he talks to his family about my medical issues (including my RLS). Granted, his dad is a doctor, but he's not MY doctor, and he doesn't know my medical history, and I don't want Dan talking to him about shit because it's PRIVATE.

The other thing was that he was not at all taking me seriously when I was telling him about discomforts I was having. I straight up told him, "It doesn't seem like you believe me, and I know there's no way for you to understand, but this is really physically and emotionally difficult and I need you not to be an asshole about it."

He's gotten better over the last few days, but we'll see if that keeps up.

5th day back at work today. it's bittersweet...it's so nice to be able to have the freedom of doing things at my own will, and having an income again is a nice bonus! but of course, i want to be at home with my babes....at work, they switched my teams again, and i'm learning all new things..this team needs me here earlier than my last did, and it's proving to be a bit difficult when the kids don't let you leave. how do you working-moms get to work on time, if the kids are crying? do you just pass the crying baby off to daycare? is baby crying in the car on the way? the logistics of crying babies in the morning does not fit with me, as i need to leave the house at 5:10 now. the boy is just too sensitive, and he wakes up when i get out of bed, and i think he notices the warmth is gone...we tried putting an electric blanket in my place, but that only helped him last 5 minutes longer.

developmental wise, we watched frozen for the first time this week, and bjl started to say "ret it go" (yay for chinese accents haha) before the song was even over. she's so good at everything, and she plays jokes on us. she'll hide my phone from me under her legs and then shrug her shoulders and pretend she doesn't know where it is. she will laugh her head off when i find it. she plays the "1, 2, 3 game"...where she climbs into h's arms, and he tosses her onto the bed on 3. when he says no more, she will play the game with her dolls and will toss them on 3. a freaking dorable. love her.

as for the boy..he's doing better bottle wise. the first bottle in the morning is still hard on him, but the ones after are fine. if MIL is in middle of feeding him when i get there, he will stop eating and start screaming until i nurse him. he still doesn't nap well for her..20-40ish minutes tops.

jennlin I just let bkb cry. I knew I had to go to work and there was nothing I could do. I did usually allow an extra ten minutes to say good bye when she was having issues. I always got reports that she was fine a minute or two after I left. She only crys when I leave or when I drop here off... Now that she's a toddler it's different. She complains when we leave the house ("No stay in jammies! Mommy stay home!". Most of the time for drop off she's fine and in the car she is fine too.

Heres J from the weekend thanks to H getting to buy her some new clothes. Then M and I before going out to do some yard work. Sorry they are reposts for those on IG.

Check out all the adorable babies and good looking mamas!
J had been busy growing teeth. He now has two. I've been off soy and dairy for over a month and her has not screamed once since the first week (plenty of shreaks, but those are happy!). Still weird diapers, but progress. He's working in sitting and, planking, but hasn't mastered either. He'll be 6 months this weekend!
