Moving sucks. Moving with three kids sucks ass. Moving with three kids when one of them is sick? A special circle of hell. I'd like to go back a week and pay people to do this for me.
Finally had an ultrasound today to confirm due date and it is exactly what I calculated! April 15. They had me at April 1. I'm so relieved to see the baby and to know that everything is going well so far. It always makes it more real too and H and I got smiley and excited again.
I'm a meetup failure. I chickened out of the one on Friday and then today's I went to the park they said they are typically there from 9ish-11. So I get there about 9. A few people come with toddlers but don't really say anything. I remember the organizer had a 2 year old a new baby also so when a mom came with two kids I asked if she was with the meetup and she was like no. So I hung out at the park until 1030 and more people came but I couldn't recognize any from their pictures or what. So I didn't really meet anyone
I'm so sorry. It's disappointing. I had a couple like there where I went around and asked everyone, but no one was part of it or interested in striking up conversation. Keep trying! Most of my best IRL mom friends were met through meetup.
mabillon So happy you had a successful transfer. I've got everything crossed and all kinds of sticky thoughts and prayers for you! When is your beta? When will you test?

Nosey question. Are you going back to nannying? Or staying at home now? Just trying to see how my distant future may look.

Right now I'm staying at home I've had a few opportunities already come up to go back but it's just too soon right now. Dh and I talked about me finding something at first of the year The nanny who replaced me didn't work out with one of the families and already gave her 2 week notice. Another former student of mine from when I worked at a preschool 2 years ago is having a sibling and wanted me to come watch there new baby. Ideally we will find a different place to live and I'll have 1 or 2 kids come to our house.
Brady misses his friends so were trying to get out and about more

I don't actually go in for two weeks! It's going to be a loooong wait so I know I'll want to test at home. Not too early though because at 11 dpt with DD, I was still testing negative....

I can get like that at meet ups so I feel your pain! Can you exchange numbers with one other mom next time (it outfit descriptions?)

Ya I think I will. I'm socially awkward in large groups bc I'm not the most outgoing.
Today is my first day back at work. It really hit me last night when I put the kids to bed and realized I wouldn't see them again until tonight (except for M's multiple middle of the night feeds).
