J keeps eating with his left hand. I'm trying to encourage both but he really seems to prefer the left. I know it's early, but did anyone's kids start showing a hand preference so young? We have quite a few lefties on both sides (including me).

Z has been showing a very strong preference for using his right hand. He is almost 11 months.
Someone on one of my local mom groups posted to ask if people were doing the flu shot this year and while most replied with yes, some chiropractor came rolling in with a giant post about the evils of flu shots. Whatever, I'm over it. However, I feel like whenever someone posts about the evils of vaccines, their grammar/spelling/syntax/etc is always awful. The lady repeated the same phrase three times in a row with slightly different wording. Do they just have a bank of stuff to copy and paste wherever they go?
Also, can someone explain to me how getting an adjustment at a chiropractor can prevent the flu? :/
I'm feeling very on edge this morning. My H has had a lot of shit going on at work lately, and he's planning to meet with his union to potentially file a grievance with his company. Unfortunately, his company also happens to be my company but I work at the corporate level. Obviously they can't do anything to me in retaliation, but fuck. I hate confrontation and it has my stomach all in knots. FWIW, I do think that H is doing what is best for him in this situation.

We were positive DD was going to be left-handed from very early on, but now when she's coloring she's started using her right hand so who knows.
Same with DS.
In fact, Pedi noted that kids are pretty much ambidextrous at that age - handedness doesn't really start to develop until 2 or something...

It is rainy today, so we drove. The more I bike the less I enjoy driving. M and I went grocery shopping after I dropped A off at school. I still managed to drop him off on time. I feel very productive.

I am sick again, and I'm so annoyed by it. I feel like I need to sleep for the next 3 days or so to get enough energy to fight this off.
DD had a rough night last night. She was up every 1.5 hours or so. DH dealt with all of it so I could sleep, but I still woke up whenever she cried. Hopefully tonight is better.
Not a peep out of Sicky McGermyson last night, hallelujah! Hoping this means he's feeling better and maybe if we're lucky his appetite will come back soon. Feeding him shredded cheese and applesauce/yogurt for dinner every night is getting old but it's the only thing he'll eat.

I could smell EVERYTHING this morning. I asked H if the eggs smelled rotten, the outside of the carrot bag smelled so weird I couldn't even get my baby carrots ready for lunch, then I got a weird whiff of BO when my H walked by, but I could like, pinpoint the exact tiny spot it was coming from. So weird. It is only like 2% possible that I'm KU but this was one of my only symptoms last time.

It's probalby me looking for common ground with my LO. Why do I feel this need to claim traits? My blue eyes! My hair! etc. etc.
He was steak baby last night - I ground up sirloin steak (it was a little too chewy for pieces) and tossed it with peppers, onions, and mushrooms. He gobbled it up.

Oops, didn't realise this thread was started...
My parents come today! Yay! They were just here less than two full weeks ago. But they are awesome and do helpful. My son adores them and they him.
Plus they bring everything they need. Their in-law suite is almost ready. They purchased the bed, mattress and night stand they wanted as well as linings.
They are bring dinner for both tonight and tomorrow night (homemade lasagna meat and meatless and fillets with potatoes for tomorrow).
It's about five hours each way, thank god they don't mind driving. It's actually only nine turns, so an easy trip!
I slept late. I am taking M to school to visit today. I didn't tell anyone what time I'd be there, but I had in my head we'd be there by 10:45 to make sure I'd have time to feed him before we go to lunch. Now he's eating and I'm stressed.
ETA: I spent no less than 20 minutes getting M dressed. I felt like he needed the perfect outfit to meet my coworkers!

TEST! lol
I could very distinctly smell the chicken in my coworker's chicken noodle soup the day before I got my BFP. It was so cliche.
I'm working from home and just ran downstairs to throw in a load of laundry. When I got to the bottom of the hamper I found two damp cloth bibs covered in mold. Apparently the rinse job I did dint remove enough of the nasty ground in avocado the girls had eaten. So gross! I just threw them away.

I have the best memories of my grandparents visiting when I was a kid. They'd drive about nine hours and bring lasagna and this awesome cake with Butterfinger crunchies on top for dinner and send my parents off on a date. Your post reminded me of it, so thank you I've been missing my grandma and I'm glad your son (and you) can spend time with them! Enjoy!

Yes, he shows a definite preference for his left, and has since he was really young. He still does okay with his right, but I am pretty sure he's going to be a lefty.
My H has a man cold and the world is ending. STFU, dude. I'm freaking 36.5 weeks pregnant. I'm the only one who gets to complain in our house at the moment!

Only one way to find out. FRER in the work bathroom!
LOL, no!!!
I'm bloated too, but I'm due for my period in the next 3 days so I'll just wait it out. I mean, it's impossible. It has to be.

I am so in the mood for some fall soups. I want to make a baked potato and a chicken chili this weekend. It's supposed to be 80 here though which is nuts!! We are taking DS to the apple orchard/pumpkin patch, and he'll be wearing shorts. No cute pumpkin sweater for him!
Daycare said DS did great at his school picture day yesterday! I'm so excited - the last 2 attempts at formal pics were disasters - one he was on the verge of a strep diagnosis and the other he was just generally grumpy and had a bugger on his face...
Daycare brings in different photographers about once a quarter, and we bought these photog's pictures last year because they were so beautifully done in a "vintage" style - I can't wait to see them!

Woke up to spotting this morning, so I guess AF is on its way and we are on to cycle 3. Boo!
And now if I actually get pregnant this next month my due date will be really close to DS2's birthday. I don't think I really like that, but I guess it doesn't matter that much, right?
It's pouring and all classes are cancelled for the holiday. It's only 10am and we've been playing "mountain climber" for an hour. My role is mountain. It is a terrible role. T-minus three hours to nap...
BUT I just got an email that our car will be ready for pickup tomorrow! Hopefully I can finagle a way to go get it!!! <)

DS1 has has a strong lefty preference from 8 or 9 months old. And he still does now at almost 4. FIL bought him a lefty baseball mit for his 3rd bday. I'm a lefty too and my mom said I had a preference from a really young age, basically as soon as I started feeding myself.
