Quitting smoking sucks ass. I quit in August with the help of nicorette spray. I really really think it helped ease the feeling of OMG I LOVE SMOKING AND HATE LIFE FOR MAKING ME QUIT.
My lack of sleep from being out all night Saturday caught up with me yesterday, and I was wrecked. It translated to zero patience with the baby and a crappy night. Trying hard to break off the funk and get on a better track today. Coffee will be involved.
Quitting smoking is so hard, but so so worth it. You can do it!
I'm really hoping that last night was the worst of the terrible sleep patch we've been going through. She was awake every 45 minutes, and that's because I out her down. I slept maybe an hour total last night. And now she's in bed with me just cooing away and blowing raspberries and I'm so tired I don't even feel tired anymore. I just feel sick. I'm glad I took them to the children's museum yesterday because I'm pretty sure all I have energy for today is hitti h the play button on the remote.
That sleep suit needs to get here now. It's my last option.
I am STILL waiting to get a reply from our insurance company about whether we need pre authorization to pursue fertility services. I'm ready to make an appointment!
meganew, I hope you get a good nap today and that tonight everyone sleeps well.
My random is that yesterday I accidentally wore shoes from two different pairs to work. I didn't even know I had two pairs of black patent leather ballet flats! So tonight I'm going to seriously tackle shoe organization to make sure it doesn't happen again.
I feel like a jerk, but BIL is staying with us (arrived last night) and it is stressing me out. He is super thoughtless and doesn't pick up after himself at all. His apartment is filthy. Never offers to help with anything when he stays, nor does he offer to pay for meals, gas, anything... Last time he stayed H told him twice (when I was about to snap) that he needs to hang his towel in the bathroom when he's done showering. Every day of the last visit I would find it bunched on our guest bed or in a wet ball on the hardwood floors. Where did I find his towel from last night's shower? I didn't! Don't see it in his room, not in the bathroom. No idea where it is sitting, either damaging something or mildewing. I did see him sitting on the couch, feet up, SHOES ON this morning.
Also, he apparently didn't travel with any cash, nor did he think about finding an ATM on his 6 hour layover, nor when he landed. He's commuting into the city with me this morning and I needed to loan him cash for a ticket.
I know he is BEC with me, and I am trying to be patient. I think I would have more sympathy if he was young, but he is in his 40s with no self awareness and so thoughtless. I know my being irritated stresses my H so I'm trying to be breezy. But shoes on my brand new, 6 month old couch? After not even offering to help with dinner or help H with dishes, expecting us to drive him on errands after work today.
Sorry to be so one note lately, but FI got a call in to the home office and his visa application hasn't even been looked at. It's been almost 2 months. Fuck.
I've had Christmas carols stuck in my head the last couple of days thanks to the Downton Abbey Christmas special on Sunday.
I swear, if the round of "wintry mix" we're supposed to get tonight delays DH's flight home, I'm going to lose it.
noodle, don't feel like a jerk. He's being a jerk by not respecting your home, or appreciating your hospitality. (I should note that I have a 30yo SIL that's exactly like this and it drives me NUTS.)

People are killing me with gender stereotyping. The comments we are getting since we having a boy are pissing me off. For some reason people think H has a new friend to play cars with. DD plays cars and loves it. We are keeping her play kitchen she has out grown for baby. There was a comment about boys not playing house. I reused a purple tote to store his things in until we move. My cousin said "you need to find a different tote. One that he can grow with. Boys don't use purple." WTAF!?

ANNOYING. DS loves cars and trucks and jumping off of things, and cooking for his baby doll in the play kitchen while he wears fifteen of his sister's bead necklaces equally. No one has yet had the balls to comment on the baby doll or necklaces to me.
DD1 woke up with a cough so I'm keeping her home, mostly because I don't want to have to go pick her up later when it is freezing rain. Now we are all laying in the couch watching Aladdin.
meggers5 I'm sorry it is taking so long. As if planning a wedding and move isn't stressful enough.
noodle since BIL is so clueless, can you just straight up tell him what to do to help? Don't let him walk all over you. If you don't want to drive him around say no.
@astrid that almost makes me want another. I miss my babies sleeping on me.
I've been puking for an hour and a half. this is not pregnancy related since I still feel like shit and I'm so tired. I can't even bring DS to daycare because I don't think I can make it. H woke up sick too. I feel bad for calling in sick since I'm am one of two people in the office that speak French and the other girl is off for a specialist appointment. And I'm training my replacement for when I go on mat leave. I know my boss is going to be pissed but this is something I have no control over. Ugh...

We got some of this too, I was annoyed as well.
My EDD is June. Please tell me it stops after he is born.

Today is the first day of standardized testing at j's new school and his first time doing it with an IEP chock full of accommodations. Should be interesting
noodle - I feel you. My BIL just visited, and has similar issues, down to the towels.
2 major work wins before 9am - score!
I have a gyn appointment today. I should be getting a referral to an RE, and set up additional testing appointments (cheaper to do them at the gyn). Its happening!!
In two weeks, it will have been 17 years since my biological mother died and I still have feelings about it. Whatever you're feeling is normal and okay.
