Here's my random: I'm looking forward to the weekend. My parents are coming Saturday to stay and to our church festival with us on Sunday. I am however looking most forward to tomorrow. We're having a very low key night here and I think I'm going to carry it in to tomorrow too. We're all just exhausted, burned out and half sick. We only have one place to be tomorrow (And it's library story time..no one cares) so think we're just going to play at home and snuggle and do whatever DD wants to play.

I am so freaking tired. My mom had the kids from 9am-1pm so I could run some errands and worm from home a bit, but I'm still phoning it in parenting - wise and its only 4pm here. Kids are watching tv right now.
Also, I know it's my third pregnancy and kinda to be expected, but I just feel huge and my tummy sleeping is already getting uncomfortable and I'm only 13 weeks. Blah. It's gonna be a long 6 months.
So I thought DD was patient zero with the stomach flu. DH was the last to fall, as usual, and has been in bed off and on all day. The baby still has interesting poops going from his turn on Tuesday on so I didn't want to put him in gym daycare to work out tonight. So he stayed home with DH and I took the other two.
Half way through my class they come and get me because DD threw up . She at least told someone she wasn't feeling well and made it to the bathroom. Poor thing. So apparently that night a while back of being sick but not actually throwing up wasn't the virus for her. Everyone else has had it over the last two weeks so hopefully, fx, this is it and then we're in the clear. I'm scared though, stomach bugs completely wipe this kid out. It's been on the mild side for everyone else, so here's hoping.
I've spent most of the day in and out of tears. J got into our top choice preschool and so did his best friend. I'm all weepy and grateful about the acceptance and them walking to school together and my baby is going to school! The one we wanted so, so desperately. Gah. And my OB called, MaterniT21 came back perfect. Baby is healthy.
Today is just a great day and I'm a blubbery mess.
who wants to hold me? apparently im having my couches steamed tomorrow, because my MIL said so. i guess i get no say in my own couch... its only been one afternoon. haaaalp!
Took C to the pedi today and saw a NP about possible reflux. She seemed to think I was making shit up because he was perfectly calm during the appointment, gave me probiotics and sent me on my way. If those don't work they'll prescribe Zantac.
I'm somewhat annoyed because she was like "it's just colic." Um, what I described is nothing like colic but thanks? He is definitely not colicky.

One of DH's friends had a brief hook up thing with a girl he barely knew and she's pregnant. They are in no way together, in fact, he has a new girlfriend. But he's plans to be really involved with the kid, goes to her dr appts with her, is already saving money for the kid to go to private school, etc.
So...now he's having a baby shower hosted by another one of our mutual female friends (not the mom or his new girlfriend ). That's weird, right? Or are we just being weird about the whole thing.

I think it's ok. If friends want to help him set up his home for a little one, why not? I hope he stays as involved as he is planning.
I guess so, but I'm also one of those people that thinks co-ed baby showers are weird. So apparently I'm just out of date on this one.
I really think he will be involved. His own dad was not in his life very much, so I know he doesn't want that for his own kid. At least him and the mom to be seem really civil, keep in touch regularly and both want what's best for the kid.

That's frustrating, I'm sorry. In my experience at our pedi's office, the NP is fine for vaccinations and diagnosing colds, but not much else. I wouldn't go to the NP to diagnose something complicated (that she can't visually "see" easily) like reflux. If the probiotics don't help I would go back to the actual pedi for a better diagnosis.
I packed up all the bottles tonight. ( other than my pumping bottles). I have a lot of feelings now. Not like they ever drank much from a bottle lol. But it symbolizes that I no longer have babies and more importantly, I never will again.
