For some reason I woke up at 7:30. No one else in my house is awake so I am enjoying the quiet.
Today we are taking DD to story time swim. It is the last one of the year and we have missed the last few so I really want DD to go but I am hoping DH will go with us and be the one to get in the pool with her.
We just got a surprise bill from the fertility clinic for $800 from our cancelled FET that we had been told would be covered by our insurance. Which means not only do we owe this money now but that our next FET attempt will be $800 more expensive than we were planning on as well. Plus my meds will be much more expensive because I will be on more. We are barely scraping by as it is. This sucks. Fuck IF!
Had a rough daycare dropoff this morning - DD was clinging to me and crawled after me when I walked away. I'm hoping she's just tired after being awake for an hour and a half last night. Poor baby cut three teeth in the last week, and now I'm wondering if I should have given her Tylenol this morning.
Heading to the OB for a growth ultrasound! Excited to see our little lady and find out how big she is (yes I know these estimates can be inaccurate). I'll be 37 weeks Friday and we are having DS's 2nd bday party Saturday, so baby girl is welcome to arrive anytime after that!
DS has been chewing on his fingers a lot. Common at nearly 2.5?
My DS is about the same age and he likes to stick practically his whole hand in his mouth to chew on. I don't know what it is, except he was never a thumb sucker so maybe this is his 2yo version? Maybe he's working on another molar?
I am a vertical girl. It functions better for me. I use one box for work, one for to-do lists, and one for appointments aka the kids 8 million activities.
I think horizontal is better for people who don't want their day broken up in a certain way.
I think we need to put a baby gate on DD1's door. She knows she is supposed to call for us when she wakes up, but recently she is getting up on her own and coming into our room. "I JUST had to say hi and snuggle in your bed." Cute, but not at 5:45 when I just return from nursing DD2.
Hoping to get me and the two girls packed for the shore (leaving tomorrow until Sunday!) today so that we can go to the town fair tonight when DH gets home. Leftovers to make dinner quick and easy. And hopefully DH and I will get in our workout tonight and tomorrow morning before we hit the road. BIG DREAMS haha
Ha! I was just about to post a poll about my ebates refund. Do I want a gift card to Gap or Amazon? Relevant facts: Most of my work pants and jeans are Gap. I have a ways to go before they fit again and probably won't spend money at Gap for transition clothes (already have some that might fit from DD1). I buy something on Amazon probably every other week. These purchases are practical and usually household items. I want to spend the money on ME!
I have a doctors appointment today, but it's not with my regular doctor since he's on vacation. Boo. I'm hoping I can get there a little early and sit in the waiting room for a bit to calm my nerves and relax before they take my blood pressure.
BIL is throwing a fit and blaming us that the rest of the family is not staying at the hotel they picked for their wedding.
Dh decided we needed a home security system and had them come over last night. OMG they didn't leave until 10:30! Now to figure out how it works....
And worst news - the partners are fighting over who gets DH for a project and they took him off the WFH project he was going to be on. I'm glad he's not traveling but now I really anxious about dealing with a NB & toddler.

Thanks to jenn248 and sunshine608 I am going down the MZwallace rabbit hole and about the pull the trigger. My rational is that now that M is potty trained I don't have to carry big bag anymore- really it is I just want it.
I really wish there was some way to read dogs minds. I would love to know what my one dog is thinking. We have switched his food after 4 years and it literally skips to his bowl. It is like he has a whole new lease on life. It is so cute. He must be my dog- food=happiness
AH! My coworker who had her baby yesterday just gave me the abbreviated version of her birth story. Basically I talked to her at 4pm after her appointment where she was 4cm dilated, but feeling no contractions. Baby was born at 12:15am that night. Apparently she woke up at 10:45pm feeling contractions, left her house at 11:15pm when her mom got there to watch her oldest, arrived in hospital at 11:45pm and had the baby 30 minutes later.
This does not make me any less nervous about a fast labor for baby number two, especially considering my first labor progressed from contractions 7 minutes apart to 1 minute apart almost immediately.
I'm going to. And I'm being Mommy tracked hard core. It's bad.
Boo to your company. I don't remember what kind of work you do? Feel free to ignore if you don't want it out there. I can help with resumes, etc if you need it (HR).
Lolol. I am going to try to wait until mid 2016 this time. It was hard starting at 14w post partum last time plus it would likely look like a negative pattern after quitting a different job my first day back.
And it isn't severe. Just my boss was promoted Friday and I was always told I would take over his responsibilities once he was promoted (boss and I had the same title) and now they are talking about hiring another manager when I barely get to do any manager tasks at this point (but have the title). Just irritated. I am sure my leave plays into this.
I have time with boss's boss on Friday to discuss.
That is a good point. I was in a BAD state for a while after DS because his sleep was shit. Maybe something I should consider...

I'm currently in market research but not sure what I want to do next. I'm burned out from my current position and not sure that this is really my passion. I will definitely take you up on it once I'm a little more organized!!
Eleanor made the Premier dance team at her studio. Not like I think they really turn down many (or any) girls who audition.
I still don't know when her dance or choreography classes are. So I can't sign up up from gymnastics.
I also have heard nothing from her soccer coach and practices are supposed to start next week. If there has been a practice date set no one has told me.
Not knowing if her schedule is going to have conflicts is stressing me out so bad.
Thank goodness C's sports are not conflict so far. #knockswood
Our house cleaner started this morning and it couldn't have come at a better time. I always feel weird when they're here though. What do you guys do? We have a dog that's a bit of a flight risk so I get nervous leaving him alone with people he doesn't know.

I had a really good phone screen yesterday and have an in-person interview tomorrow. While I've been looking casually for a few months, this position came out of nowhere and seems like a LOT of what I do now and get rid of the BS I've been dealing with by working way above the position I'm currently in.
I'm just not sure I actually want to leave my current position...
GUYS! Both my kids have been asleep at the same time for an hour. But of course DD just woke up. She lasted only an hour, when she should have done 2. Still. One hour of freedom.
I love summer and beach/pool weather but I'm kind of ready for fall so I don't have to get the hair ripped off my labia anymore. I have a wax appt this afternoon and I dread it so much, lol.
