What's everyone up to today?

[kpol]

It's 10:30pm here and I'm bored out of my mind. M is working weird hours for a few more days and my sleep schedule has been messed up so I'll be up for quite a while. I'm thinking I need to make PB cookies right now but I don't want to clean up the mess.

Any big plans for the day?

[kcd0531]

Nothing too big; just working (which I actually should be doing right now…), packing tonight for vacation and hoping against hope that the 16 hour drive isn't as horrible as I'm making it out to be in my head. Need to figure out where we'll be 10 hours into the drive so I can make hotel reservations.

[prettyinpink]

Good Morning! I'm just working today. Our schedule seems like it could be a full day or a fall apart day. Hoping the referral I put through yesterday gets processed quickly on the other end. Our patient needs to be seen and dealing with an HMO and a patient who hasn't got a primary because she just doesn't want to deal with it just making this that much harder! Also no offence to an of the nurses on this board, but my goodness they make the worst patients!

Tonight we are just going to hang out here, have dinner and watch some movies.

Where are you that it's 10:30pm?

I'm here all mopey. I had an early dr. appt. this morning and ***possible TMI*** had to get my second pap of the year : (

And now I have to go get a pelvic u/s on Monday off base. I've had an u/s before and my cysts were found, and it was such a painful experience. I am actually terrified of doing the vaginal part, but now I have no choice.

So, now I'm just waiting around to go to work this afternoon.

I'll be going to a memorial service for MIL. It's been an interesting week...

[JakJak]

Today is DS birthday so we are just relaxing, opening presents and having cake. I have a follow up ultrasound at 3, so I'm hoping to hear good news.

[twoslicehilly]

It's 1 am and I'm drinking my kid's juice and eating goldfish and cupcakes. I was asleep before 10, but my husband woke me up to tell me I had a text message Now I can't go back to sleep. Tomorrow I have a much needed hair appt.

[twodogsandababy]

We're going to the fair and rodeo tonight! I love it and am super excited!

[honeybadger]

I just got back from my 36 week appointment. Little Sister is finally head down. So, I apparently WILL have to actually give birth in the next few weeks. This terrifies me, even though I've already done it once.

DS is out shopping for the day with my parents so I am going to be kicking back and hopefully catching a nap. I slept about 3 hours last night. ::high fives hilly::

[twoslicehilly]

honeybadger I am so, insanely jealous of your having parents around right now. My mom won't be here for two more weeks. I would like to already have a baby by then.

[honeybadger]

I have to keep reminding myself that it is going to be nice to have their help once it is actually time. But it has been an epic struggle to get Isaac to understand that living NEAR family =/= spoiled vacation time all of the time like it is when we don't live here and he gets to visit. And everyone is having a really hard time not crossing the boundary of helping out and trying to co-parent with me just because J is gone. But, we are working on it.

Was Ava early, I can't remember? I am so right there with you in hoping that I'm settling into a routine with 2 kids in 2 weeks, even though I know that is selfish and greedy of me. I'm just exhausted and ready to be able to do my normal activities and not struggle to keep up with Isaac and ALL THE THINGS he must ALWAYS BE DOING. Plus, soccer starts next week.

[twoslicehilly]

We are still un-spoiling her from our grandparent visit. She got used to being coddled at bed/nap time, so now every time it's time for sleep, she "needs me" and I really don't want to have to deal with that when I can't lay down with her, because there's a baby sister that needs to be nursed/ changed/ held! It will be interesting to see how things play out.

Ava was a day late. I've been working on convincing Ruby ( there may have been a meditation) that she can work her way down any time ( like NOW). Hopefully with all of the pre labor signs I've been having, combined with the fact my hubs is actually home this time, so I'm not trying to keep a baby in for anyone. Hopefully she'll arrive a little earlier. And I've been measuring ahead since the beginning about a week, consistently.

Did y'all decide on a name for sure?

[kcd0531]

Oh, I feel the pain of (grand)parents crossing the line into co-parenting. If I said "No" I do NOT have to give you a reason. It is my decision and not yours. I really don't care if she is missing out on her weekly sleepover and I feel no compunction in having her skip it twice in a month because of our schedule and do not see the need to "make up" for pending missed sleepover by having her sleepover the night before. No no no no…

Apparently I needed to vent.

[honeybadger]

Sleep has always been our big issue when he/we get back from a visit. I hope the transition goes well or is finished by the time Ruby gets here.

I'm trying not to let the progress I've made at my internal + her size on today's u/s get me all excited for a possible early delivery. It seems like almost everyone I know that is ahead of us has gone early. Hopefully we don't find ourselves pushing past due dates.

No. J has been calling her "Name of the Month (last name)" aka NOTM. We still have the same names being mulled over, though. Charlotte Mae, Margaret (Maggie) Mae/Quinn, Aubrey Quinn. Isaac is still calling her Quinn. It is going to be a game time decision.

I'm also really struggling with wanting to share the hospital time with ANYONE other than the people I have to. My parents, since they will bring Isaac up to me to meet her and my mom is going to be there because I feel obligated to have someone in the room with me. I just don't want to open that door for my ILs and then them want to stay 24 hours and be on Skype etc. I'm being horribly selfish, I realize this.

[pennylane]

I ran errands this morning. I was going to walk the dog when I got home, but he's been passed out on the couch all morning, and it looks like rain. Tonight I am going out to dinner with some friends to celebrate two of their birthdays; yay for girls night!

[brandienee]

Today, I am cleaning my house. I finally found a great cleaning schedule that works for me. I just have to get everything caught up to where I only have to clean for 30 minutes a day or so. It will be helpful when school arrives.

I also have to work tonight, so I am about to hit the shower and leave, so I can grab some things that DH needs and get some dinner since I am not working long enough to get a break. It is nice to be working. It makes me realize how much I like being home. LOL

Fly and Audette, I'm so sorry that today is a rough day for each of you.

I am currently getting ready for work and reading on MM about Bliss running a four minute mile in junior high.

Whaaat? Nu-uh.

It's on page 2 of her sex and booze post.

I'm just freakin' impressed that she could probably run a 5 minute mile while holding a beer.

This thread will go nicely with my afternoon snack.

[honeybadger]

I only see the her comments in posts that people quoted her in. No originals.

[honeybadger]

Looks like it. I wonder if she deactivated her name.

Looks like she DD all the comments about 5 minute and 4 minute miles and her retorts that she "never claimed I broke the world record"… even though Stan pointed out that the current record holder by a woman for a mile is 4:12. Dude.
If I could run that fast you could bet your sweet money I wouldn't be working in a fight club.

I don't think so; I saw a couple of her other responses still in existence on the thread that weren't quotes - but they also didn't mention anything about her Forrest Gump ass.

[honeybadger]

I don't follow this chick. I've heard of her but I thought she disappeared a few times and didn't know she was back. I need to try to find her current story.

My H is getting his wisdom teeth taken out this morning. So I'm sitting here listening to him freaking out about it lol

P had his out Tuesday. It really wasn't that bad. He hasn't had a whole lot of pain just a little uncomfortable. He his enjoying all of the ice cream and pudding. I hope your DH feels better soon

[verycontrary247]

I took my ASVAB today (locally, fuckers!) and I feel like I did alright on the math portion, which usually means I got them all wrong. Now I have to wait until Tuesday/Wednesday to get my results and I'm freaking outtttt.

Also, I made this tonight

and it was the most amazing thing I've ever tasted. Bonus round for being incredibly easy.
