I think the incision on my back is getting infected . Two days ago it was a little red around the stitches and yesterday there was a big raised red circle around the whole area. Crap. I'm already using antibiotic ointment on it.
As Andy was leaving a room yesterday, he looked casually over his shoulder at me and said "bye honey!" Haha
I want to die today. DD hasn't been sleeping well due to allergies, so of course I don't get to sleep well either, and then I woke up an hour before my alarm with awful cramps because my period started. I feel like ass.
In the few minutes we had on the phone last night with DH, it came up that he is coming back on SATURDAY next week, not Thursday like I thought. This is three weeks straight of travel, with two days home for Easter. I might actually die if he gets called out to do either MH370 recovery or S. Korea ferry salvage, those will take months.
My only meeting today is to plan a baby shower for a coworker!
Dottie had her first trail hunt and baying this morning. She was tracking something ALL over the backyard this morning, and when she reached the end of the lead started baying like crazy. I thought it was cute, but brought her in before I pissed off all the neighbors. I'm pretty sure it was just a cat that walked through the yard.
It's going to be boring at work today... I'm just ready for the weekend even if it was a short work week.
H is such a morning person. He always wants to chat and be happy, and I just want to be left alone! But he still always makes me a cup of tea and gives it to me on my way out the door.
Basically, I really need to start being a little more kind in the morning. It's gonna be tough lol

I REALLY need a day off. H is taking Wednesday of next week off to have a Daddy/ daughter day before his busy time at work starts and I can't fucking wait.
She was SO good yesterday (no growling lol), but I just feel short on patience. I need to recharge my batteries... but I'm not sure what to do. My friends will either be working or have kids and I want a completely child free day. So I'm thinking of just spending the whole day by myself. Maybe see a movie? Get a haircut? Shopping? I cannot wait.

This is my H too. And he's usually so nice to me even though I'm less than pleasant in the mornings.
My random is that I ran out of contacts and I am using a spare set from an old prescription. I keep squinting and feel blind.

I haven't lived in the same state as either of my parents since 2001. H's parents also live out of the area. We miss them, but abstractly since it's been so long we lived in the same area.
Today I really, really miss my mom and wish I could teleport her here. I'm so fucking tired. K has an ear infection and is getting another respiratory infection on top of it and isn't sleeping unless he's in our arms. I want to spend the day snuggled in bed, napping, reading, drinking tea, and taking a bubble bath.
On the positive side, amoxicillin already seems to be helping. K wants to play for the first time in days.
I am currently practicing my one handed typing skills because my left arm is occupied with my baby. It still doesn't seem real.
My boobs are pretty engorged. I THINK they might be getting a bit better but I'm not sure. They were really bad yesterday, which makes sense since DS was stimulating them but never draining them. Bad combo. I'm hoping this passes quickly now that we've fully switched to FFing.
Also, I think the cat might be getting over the jealousy finally. He's cuddled up with us this morning.
The engorged feeling is the worst. I would wrap my abdominal binder around my boobs to keep them from flailing around. How's the urge to pee thing?

my mom called me last night to tell me she was packing for a red eye to chicago. my grandpa is dying. I wish I lived closer, packing stresses her out and I would have happily done it for her so she could get other things in order. for some reason I feel really guilty about moving away because I wasn't there last night.
My mother is coming this afternoon for two days. She invited herself. Additionally, my bro and SIL will be here visiting from very far away. My mom has just spent the last 2 weeks with them, but needs to come up with them, too.
it's insane how one bad diet day can affect the scale. i was doing so well, then i went crazy yesterday...entire chocolate bunny, cookies, chicken nuggets. it was insane. apparently, i gained over 1/2 a pound?!

sorry I'm whining so early in the day.

After genuinely believing that BF had his foot on the scale along with me to fuck with me when I weighed myself last week (nope, I'm just fat), I am eating a much healthier diet. Great, except I am SO FARTY! I, like, deflated last night right before bed. That fart was long enough that I wondered how long it was.

DH called me last night & said he is sick. Body aches, no appetite. He is OOT. This am he called me to say he has an upset stomach.. I hate for him to be out of town not feeling well, but i don't want him to come home and spread that shit around.
Mom is doing so much better. She's moved down to a semiprivate room. She didn't need dialysis yesterday because her creatinine went down enough. She PRODUCED 29CCs OF URINE!!!
She's having dialysis today. Let's keep hoping for a miracle and her kidneys kickstart again!
Mooooo. I am over 4 months deep into baby sleep deprivation and it sucks so much. I really hope he starts sleeping better soon because I am really having trouble functioning during the day. I have already decided that I am most likely going to switch to formula when he hits 6 months old so that I can have soy, dairy and caffiene again.

I had a dream that I had another baby, and I didn't have my milk come in because I didn't end up BFing my first, so I woke up really sad. I was talking to my h and said that even if I bf the next time and explain to my son that it's how mommies feed babies, I'll feel bad because I didn't feed him that way. My H was really sweet and corrected me (rightly so) "There are lots of ways moms feed their babies. Every way is good."

I got my hair done last night. I love the cut and I'm not so keen on the color. I've give it a few days before I do anything else. It took 4 hours to get it done last night and by the time I got home, I was in tears because my back hurt so bad. I went to bed and cried like a baby. I'm sucking it up and making a pt appointment.
MIL has been at my house for less than 24 hours and yet her and dh were already fighting at 6:30 this morning.
We have to be out of the house in ten minutes for a closing, that I picked the stupid time for and Jax is watching Dino Dan and I am buying swimsuits on Boden. Which by the way I never even heard of until the other day, another place to shop. lol
DH wasn't in love with the shoes I got him for his birthday so after we do that I have to drive out to the outlets to return them. What annoys me about it is that I went once, told him about the shoes and he said he would rock them. I drive out a second time and buy them. Birthday comes and he says he doesn't want them. Hello, I spent ours literally in the car to go and get these fucking shoes you said you would rock because they were half off at the outlet.
I am exhausted! I really need to finish my spring cleaning but I think I'm going to nap instead. We had so much fun at the Tigers game last night, even though they lost, ds had a blast! I wanted to go for a walk/run today but I have blisters on both my ankles from a new pair of sandals and the tops of my running shoes rub right on them. ugh! My birthday is Monday! Celebrating this weekend! I'm not sure what we're doing though.
