Just hanging on the couch in a quiet house at the moment. DS is still sleeping (!) We normally leave the house in 7 minutes, but he's been such a beast lately so I don't want to wake him. I'm guessing he just needs the extra sleep. Growth spurt?
This is going to make me late for work, but will be worth it if he's in a good mood for picture day today.
Dh left at 5 am this morning. Day 1 of 10 of solo parenting here we go!
Our foster isn't doing well. Some of you may remember we got her in July and found out she had lymphoma and was given about 1-3 months to live. We kept her as a hospice foster instead of moving her again to another foster's home. I think her airways are starting to close up from the lymph nodes as it sounds like she is struggling to breath a lot of the time. I took a video and sent it to my vet and the rescue's medical coordinator so we'll see what they say. I don't know how I'm going to put a dog down alone without DH here if it comes to that. I'm also extremely emotional with all these pregnancy hormones so that doesn't help.
Well. DD1 already lost her stories and songs at bedtime. I didn't shower last night due to the baby crying fiasco so I'm going to be late today. So effing tired. I'm just happy that I don't need to call in an exorcism for DD2. She's smiling and cooing again thankfully.
Going to my working moms group, Moms night out tonight. I'm hoping I can manage to stay up late enough, that the new babysitter works out and that I have enough to talk about with the other moms.

Good Morning! My DH took the morning off so we went on a breakfast date and then did some shopping. We stopped by some toy stores and thought to pick something up for my LO but things in Europe are so shockingly expensive that we got nothing. I don't spoil her by default.

DH woke up with a 102 temp and sweaty chills...nooooo. He was just sick three weeks ago! He needs a new career path of he's going to get sick once a month.
For those of you who don't read MM, I have a crazy interview situation going on that you could chime in on. Applied for the job last Wednesday, it closed Friday. They emailed at 5:30pm on Monday to see if I could do a skype interview on Wednesday. The skype interview went well yesterday; so well that they emailed at 6:30pm last night to ask if I could come over on Monday for an on-site interview. Uh, that's a 1,000 mile road trip on 4 days notice. Not to mention, I have a conference this weekend that I'm a major speaker at! Not only can I not handle a road trip like that right now, at 7 weeks pregnant and nauseated (OF COURSE this is when my nausea finally shows up), but with 4 days notice I feel like I don't have tim eto prepare for the interview!
Taking lead from farmvillelover I have set some goals. -shower and blow dry hair -walk with Stella -leave the house with Stella alone. I don't care if I go to target or Starbucks or what but I need to leave and start doing it myself. I'm nervous.
My Frenchie just puked up and it was red hair pats/reassurance until the vet opens at 9 please??
Did she get into anything? Sometimes our dogs vomit and its red or their BMs are red, and I panic, and then I realize the damn dog got into a bottle of Frank's red hot or siracha. (both of which happened in the past month lol).
We spent yesterday evening in the ER. My H is allergic to bees and he got stung while cutting the grass. He did the epi pen right away. They watched him at the hospital for a couple hours and gave him more drugs. He's fine, thank goodness.
I was pretty happy with how quickly they took him back. We were only in the waiting room like 5 minutes. I'm hoping if he'd shown up not breathing it would've been even quicker. They only went to one other guy before H - someone complaining of chest pains. Turns out chest pains meant chest congestion, lol, so they moved on to H right away.
As I've mentioned before, DS gets sick more frequently and more virulently than most kids. He's been tested for a compromised immune system, but all the years are negative so far. I'm surprised he was in preschool for almost 3 weeks before getting sick! But he's home sick today. Hacking cough, wheezing, runny nose. Poor buddy.
I lost my right hand ring that H got me after G was born at some point during the barfing incidents yesterday. I'm so bummed.
AND my finger felt naked this am so I out on a pearl ring my parents got me. I looked down during my drive and noticed the pearl had fallen out. Can't find it either.

humpforfree, I'm sorry you won't get to try for a VBAC, but yay baby day!
I woke up to a notification from the Nytimes that there was a stampede in Mecca that killed over 400 people. My BIL and his parents are on Hajj so I was worried. Took me an hour to get in touch with my sister but they're all okay. I'm so sad for the families of those who died.
DH his having surgery Monday. Glorified tonsil removal. Not to down play it, I'm sure it will suck for him, but it's not life of death, kwim. They're keeping him overnight since he has apnea and they want to monitor him but otherwise, it would be outpatient.
He has brought up getting a BELL for when he's recovering at home, more than once. I finally told him last night that if he brings it up again, he's on his own. He can text me if he happens to need something and I'm downstairs. And then wait a frickin moment. I refuse to be summoned by bell, gah. Mind you, he skipped back to work just a week after my c-sections and I was completely on my own with three kids after 10 days. He's already writing off the entire month of October, like he doesn't know if we'll be able to make an event on the 15th because he'll "still be recovering".
Guys, I might kill him next week. I need you all to send me strength.

Oh mr. Holly. Lolol
When I read BELL I thought it was an acronym for some kind of medical equipment / device because surely he didn't mean an actual ringing bell. Lol forever.
J now sleeps with his butt way up in the air and it is the cutest thing ever.
He will be six months old tomorrow. HOW?!
H and I took the day off and we're taking J to the park and a pumpkin farm to celebrate the fact that we have survived and it's been FUN! I am all emotional over how much I love my little family.
