Squishy baby face!

Aweee

I'm starting to feel ready for #2 and then Ingrid screams at me for not getting her food fast enough.  *-)

[noodle]

That photo is the best way to start a Wednesday. I am so happy and excited for you to be a mom!

[cleo29]

Yesterday C's school sent him home with a fever. He laid around all afternoon and last night H slept on the couch while C slept in our room with me. I woke up at 2Am to him rubbing my cheek and holding my hand

Jackson finally goes back to school. He has been on Spring Break since last Monday. I loved our one on one time, but a week and a half is enough. He is so excited to go back too. After I drop him off I am going to the gym. Then we have some errands to run. Should be a low key day.

Neat image, @bernardine! My random sounds a little weird. When my h died I kind of stopped listening to music radio stations, because happy love songs made me cry, and sad love songs made me cry, too. So I got into NPR and have been pretty much listening to local NPR stations for the last few years. Until this morning. I had to put on a local pop station ... because all this politics on the radio is making me cry!

[lilafowler]

Hi baby!

[nahoku]

What a little sweetie, Bernadine!

It's 2am Hawaii time and I can't sleep. I know, poor me. I'm exhausted but so so happy to be here.

Woke up earlier than I wanted in need of more pain med (wisdom teeth out yesterday).

Sitting on the couch now with my kiddo watching Mickey.

Wondering how coffee would go. Maybe need to do ice coffee.

I had my wisdom teeth out last year and from what I remember, too hot is not good. Go for iced, but no straw!

Back to work after 1.5 weeks out on vacation. I'm half dreading it half looking forward to being back in a routine. I've recently made a big decision regarding work which I know is best for our family but is killing me that I will be away from DS more. I know it will be fine and he will be fine, but it's really getting to me. I've been on the verge of tears for 2 weeks. I'm hoping being back at work snaps me out of it.

I think we're finally going to pull the trigger on replacing shades throughout the house, samples ordered and I've gotten in touch about their (free) measuring service. I'm dying a little at how much it's going to cost though- we need 14 of the damn things for bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen and family room.  There are 10 more windows we're not even putting shades on.

Iced coffee would be good, but a frapp with a spoon would be better.

Or a milkshake.

Is it Friday as yet? Today I spent 10 minutes looking at jobs in Sweden, England, and South Africa. All within my company. It was nice to fantasize. It will happen eventually though!

[pandora89]

I think we decided to wait till August (for various reasons) before we do another IVF cycle. My doctor is going to get most of the meds covered and is getting us a discount on the cycle itself - which helps us huge since we are 100% OOP. But I am bummed that we have to wait so long. It is going to be at least 2+ years since we have been actively trying and 3 + years since we pulled the goalie and nothing to show for it, unless by some miracle I conceive naturally (which, let's be real, is not happening).

I also need new work pants but I don't really want to go shopping because I am so unhappy with my body right now. I had to cut back on working out because of IF/IVF and with no end in sight I don't know what to do with myself. Working out was a huge stress reliever for me. I have slowly started back at it again, so hopefully that helps.

So sweet, Bernadine.

I sort of feel like I'm white-knuckling life lately, so that sucks.

I'm glad it's Wednesday, though, and the weekend is supposed to be nice enough for us to take a day trip to the shore on Saturday, which will make up for our Tuesday zoo plans being canceled because it's going to be 46 and rainy/snowy. Why wouldn't it be? 70 degrees in March, snow in April. Seems legit.

(((BaliHai)))

[jreeds]

BaliHai, That is our weather for the next few days too. 70 on Friday, 35 and snow by Sunday morning. WTF?! April Fools indeed.

Right? It's ridiculous!

[cinderbella]

They're announcing today whether or not charges are going to be filed against the cops that shot Jamar Clark.

I have a bad feeling that no charges will be brought and Minneapolis is going to collectively lose its shit tonight.

[styme46]

They cancelled school again today. We have about 4 inches of snow and it is not snowing or blowing currently. Kids totally could have gone to school. Apparently it's supposed to get worse later, but I'm not holding my breath. I like being home, but I hate having to use a vacation day to be here since my office didn't close.

My brother is there until Friday. Have a great time!!

My left contact is bugging the shit out of me today. I want to get lasik so bad.

Super cute, B!!!

[sugarbear]

Day three of spring break and I'm exhausted. Taking DS2 to daycare today so that DS1 and I can have a playdate with one of his classmates. I'm trying to make friends but damn! It's already April and this whole my-kid-goes-to-school-where-I-work thing is hard to navigate. I'm not sure how to balance being a teacher and a parent in this community.

[vicky]

Unemployment called me for an eligibility interview. My former employer is trying to say I quit rather than being taken off the schedule. Awesome. It does not sound like they believed me, either.

[ProfessorArtNerd]

I'm simultaneously SO EXCITED FOR and STRAIGHT UP DREADING my semester off. I mean, hey, finally getting a maternity leave is good, and I have plenty of projects to do (Konmari-ing the shit out of my stuff) but I won't be paid and that'll freak me out. Oh my god my job sucks sometimes

[sineadorebellion]

The OAG couldn't help with child support today because my ex has moved a couple times and he hasn't been notified yet :/ so I have to sit tight until they try and talk to him before they'll help. Blah. I just want to move on.
