I have a truth in parenting photo. DD, cloth diaper on all wrong, skort hiked up around her waist, one shoe on. You can't see from the back but she's visibly filthy from daycare.

Blah I'm having a day. Apparently my kids get some sort of batsignal every time H travels and needs to be picked up from daycare. Today it was DS, who has pink eye. I can barely change a diaper without him escaping these days so squirting the goo in his eye (alone) is REALLY FUN. It's 9:15 and DD is still awake in her room (?) and I'm trying to do a full day's work tonight before I go to bed so I don't get too far behind. Tomorrow I have 4 client meetings and DS is going to be home with me.
Yum. I'm back on keto. I love love love it. 11 lbs. in 2 weeks. I know its mostly water weight, but I feel better!
I went on a date last night, got incredibly drunk, went to a drive in, made out with him at an outlook in a local prairie during a lightning storm. Knew it wouldn't work out at the end of the date. Dating sucks =[
Anyone have any tips on ripping up tack strips? Or moving furniture by yourself? Basically anything that will help me make this floor reno any easier?
I caught my finger in the screen door as it was closing. It hurt so much but I couldn't scream since BB was asleep and I didn't want to scare the living bejeebus out of her.
No one knows how to react to DD's birth and it's making me feel even worse. We're obviously not in a celebratory mood so we haven't gotten any congratulations or flowers or anything. It feels like nothing has happened. I guess I just leave that page blank in her baby book?
J was crazy clingy today. I was trying to do some dishes while H was in the living room to entertain him, but he just screamed and kicked the gate, yelling "I want mommy!" Then he wouldn't go to bed, just kept wanting hugs and to be held. Cute, but gtfts!
I went APESHIT on H tonight. Lots of crying, telling him I don't feel appreciated, I'm tired of being in charge of everything (true), I want to feel taken care of (lol whut), and I don't feel like he understands how much pregnancy sucks (true).
But it was one of those situations where like I was watching myself from above and laughing and muttering, "You crazy ass bitch." At one point I actually said, "I just want to feel like you WANT to be nice to me!" And then inside I was like hahahahahaha you are being fucking insaaaaaaane, girlfriend. LOL
He didn't really deserve it, but maybe he'll be extra nice for a few days.
I totally understand that. Its like rolling downhill and you just can't stop! I always look back at it in a few days, and I really did feel all those things, it just was too much to handle at once.
Pinning and searching the Internet for moving tips is just as effective as actually packing up a box, right? I'm so overwhelmed and don't know where to start.
I got all my videos backed up!! In 4 places, lol (computer, external had drive, shutterfly, and google drive). I deleted them from my phone and was able to install the iOS update from like a year ago. Lol I feel so relieved to have that taken care of.
I think ds2 was exhausted from being around ds1 all weekend (he's so loud!). He slept so great today and after taking a 1.5 hour nap with him this morning, I was super productive around the house.
(((bowies))) How are you guys doing today? How are you feeling?
@this - I had a big meltdown a few days pp. it was so insane that I started laughing halfway through, when I was already crying. H looked legit scared. Lol
Hugs bowies. People didn't (and still) don't know what to say about A's prematurity and medical issues. How are you both doing?
She's probably doing better than me TBH. We're about to call over to the hospital to see if she's gained any weight. That's the only thing that makes me feel better. Well, that and holding her. I feel horrible that I'm not there with her.
My husband has also been lectured alot as of late. He needs to up his game. He has been working out like crazy (which I am happy about as he is getting buffer) but he is slacking with helping take care of DD2 and the laundry list of other things we need to get done. I do not want to parent him. Being a parent to two kiddos is already enough.
@simpledog , I liked your post in commiseration.
@this , your husband needs to do whatever you want and embrace the crazy. And bring home treats. That helped.
Since the resurrected AMA thread has ascended to epic levels, I'll add another ama here for humpforfree - do you eat the batter when you bake? If so, what's your fave?

definitely one of the hardest parts. But I didn't hold A until she was a week old and we are are super bonded. She won't leave me alone ;-)
I had a great day today. I was feeling flighty. So we went to SF and spent the day at the zoo. It was awesome. It was cool. It felt like fall, and I am sure the sunshine helped. DS loved animals. The only problem was the traffic. I feel refreshed. It was good to run away for the day.
Trying for #3; FET 8/18 -- BFN. Leaving things up to chance for now... After three years, three IVFs, and two FETs, we finally have our miracle babIES!

First time in the Big Hospital ER for DS. Two years, one week. Not too shabby. He has croup. He's fine, but being monitored a little longer. Had a shitton of steroids, so tomorrow should be fun.
Side note: I knew it was croup, but was just going to crank up the humidifier. DD got croup a ton, and only once needed an oral steroid. Thank goodness DH is more of a concerned parent than I am! #badmom
My mom moved back to my town yesterday after moving away 13 years ago. She's my best friend, and I'm SO thrilled to have her 5 minutes away. I got an email tonight that said I could bring my spouse or parent to my consignment presale tomorrow, so I was able to just text and say "hey, you want to come with me?" It's the little things
