We got food delivered for dinner. DH brings the food into the kitchen and says he want to call the restaurant to buy the shirt the delivery guy was wearing. It said "Legalize Marinara." I love ridiculous stuff like that.
I was reading the thread on MM about how you show affection to your spouse, and I said to DH that we should have sex tonight. He was all - you're just using me to try to go into labor! While this is totally true, you'd think someone who hasn't had sex for 6 weeks would have been more into it. The last time we did, I had bad crotch pain the next day and it was really rough walking around (of course I took DS to the zoo that day) which is why we haven't since then!
Oh man. DD's turning five today and then starting kindergarten next week may kill me. It's just TOO MUCH all at once with the growing up. Maybe it's because I had younger ones so quickly but my oldest getting older has never really bothered me. I didn't cry when she turned one, packing away clothes, meh, first days of preschool were exciting. I was a bit sad last fall when I weaned DS2 but shit, this transition is hitting me harder than anything previously.
DH is at softball and all the kids are asleep so I just poured myself a stiff drink. I think I'll rip off he bandaid and go through her baby pictures and have a good cry lol.
I'm trying not to be irritated he doesn't want to eat the meal I have planned since he is offering to buy whatever we get delivered. Really to want him to drive to get Indian but I'm not sure that will happen.
I'm nervous about what we will eat pp since I won't be able to make any freezer meals.
Does DH not cook?
Not well and I was hoping to prep meals that did not include the dietary restrictions I had nursing last time.
I foresee a lot of grocery store chickens, take out, bolognese & tacos in our future.

The kids were so agreeable glut bedtime tonight. I'm not sure what happened but it was nice. Now I'm just hanging out in Nods room a few more minutes until Chaser is asleep and I am free!
I have a bad feeling I caught V's stomach bug suddenly very woozy every time I stand up. Obvs I'm not pregnant so it's either dehydration or getting sick.
Phoning it in while V watches some more Thomas the Tank Engine.
Hope you feel better soon!
If you need to switch up the cartoon trains I suggest Chuggington on Netflix.
DH is really getting on my nerves this week. I keep having to remind him to do the shit he's supposed to do around the house. AND he's being so loud in the kitchen while finally doing his kitchen cleanup that the toddler startled and is now moving all around in his crib.

I am going to gain so much weight this pregnancy. I had fish and chips for dinner and just slammed a chocolate filled, chocolate frosted cupcake. So yummy.
I am reading Girl on the Train and don't know how to feel yet. It reminds me of Gone Girl which I didn't like.
I got Sally Hansen's Miracle Gel nail polish and just did my nails. Super easy. Do two coats of the color and one layer of the top coat. No UV light required. I'm excited to see how long it lasts. I hope awhile!

I found out today that since he has a summer birthday and will be starting kindergarten "early" (aka on time), ds gets to skip the next class at daycare. This means no more forced nap time! I'm beyond excited. Nap time was the only time he had problems...he hasn't napped in 2 years and it's been a huge challenge trying to keep him quiet for 2 hours while all the other kids nap.
Plus, cheaper tuition, and we love the teachers in his new room! Yay!

My sister and the guy she had been seeing since March have ended it. He unexpectedly got let go from his job and needs to focus on getting a new one. He's taking it badly and was there less than year.
My sister is upset, they were starting to have the talk and she really likes him. Ugh. I just got off the phone with her. She's 31 and thought she'd be in a relationship by now and is just upset saying "I hate dating." I wish I could fix it. Sigh.
I'm at a loss at what to say anymore. She's a smart, funny, sweet person with a great career. She didn't decide she wanted to even get married and have kids until last year, so it's not like she's been focused on this got a long time, but it bites. I wish I could make it better.
I'm ready for the day to be over, it seemed like nothing went right today.
The kicker was DS1 asking, "Mommy, why is your tummy so big?" I've gained quite a bit of weight with all of the house selling/moving stress. I already feel awful, didnt need to hear it from my kid! When I told him it was because I hadn't been making healthy choices for food, he said (in a very slow, shaming tone) "Moooommy, we need to make healthy choices!" Thanks, kid! Maybe if you'd stop acting like a crazed, disrespectful lunatic all the time, mommy might not stress eat so much! (No, I didn't actually say it!)
All I have been doing is working. My poor children have had 5 different babysitters in the last week.
My migraines are back with a vengeance. :/ I get a break from about 2nd trimester - 4 months old, then they come back. I was sick all morning.
Also, I took DD2 to her well check this afternoon and she's still only 13.5 lbs at 4 months. It's so weird to me because DD1 was at least 2.5 lbs more at that age.
Being the PTA secretary is a lot of work yo. Saying this the night before school starts does not bode well for the rest of the year.
And they sent me home with all the checks people wrote for membership. I don't want those things. 10 years working in finance has embedded in me that you should not walk around with checks. I got my data off them so fast tonight so I can get them back to the treasurer in the morning.
I feel like Lorelai Gilmore when she had the booster cash box.
DD has been up 3 times since she went to bed 2 1/2 hours ago. And the third time I changed her diaper, which of course got her thinking it was playtime. I'm not looking forward to the rest of the night.

I think I've got the motivation to pack as much as my hospital bag as I can tonight. I feel like I don't really need that much. But maybe I'm just having a foggy more about what I actually used 3 years ago. And just feeling like since this is the 3rd time that I can pretty much make due with whatever I bring.

That's what I eat when I don't have a newborn. :-#
I thought you were doing the meal service?
Anyway if I've learned anything the past six weeks it is EAT EAT EAT. Trader Joe's has been my lifeline. So much orange chicken and ravioli. Plus precooked shredded chicken breasts. Make your H a list.

I tried a "pop pilates" class at the gym this evening. It was so fun! I really liked the instructor and it was challenging but I wasn't worried about hurting myself. My legs are all noodle-y now though. I forsee sorry muscles tomorrow.
Figures - we leave for Greece (without her) on Saturday and I will be worried if she's sick when we are gone! I will probably call our GP tomorrow to see if he can see her.
Anxiety is the worst guys. I know that is a huge part of the whole meal planning obsession because it's something I can control/plan for. Logically I know we will be ok but it's hard to let go of it now that it's in my head.

So according to the FB memories thing, I went out on the IL's boat and went tubing in the lake with DH when I was 3 weeks pp with DS2. I remember my mom staying home and watching the baby for me and it being the first time I was away for him for like 3 or 4 hours. But damn, my recovery must have been better than I remembered if I was up for tubing, lol.
Fingers crossed I feel that good a few weeks from now, lol.
a - immature for needing to break up with someone to "focus on job hunting"; or b - making up an excuse for getting out of it.
I think it's the latter and she dodged a bullet. And don't feed into this "OMG, you 31 year old spinster!" stuff. It's not that old - MMM is weird to me that people get married so young. That's just not real life in major East Coast cities (at least not in my IRL circles).
I agree with you completely. I feel like she is mourning "what could have been." I told her what a great career she has and all other positives in her life, but she wants to be in a relationship. It doesn't help that at that age I had been married for a while with a baby which she reminded me last night. I've told her that different paths are just different, not better or worse. Although we live in major cities, we are not from major cities. I know people that were married and divorced before 30.
I, personally, think she dodged a bullet and I wasn't crazy about him. However, she's my sister and I feel bad for her. I want her to feel happy.
We are flying tomorrow and I feel less prepared and more nervous than I did on our first trip. He is so into everything and really into toys now, so I'm trying to figure out what I can bring him to keep him entertained. He will not be very happy sitting on our laps for two hours. But we realized at a sports bar tonight that he LOVES TV. I am thinking of bringing an iPad to entertain him with TV, and he is only four months old. Whatever works! .
