I worked out 4 times last week... like, real workouts, not walking with the stroller and the dog and stopping every ten seconds. It felt great. My legs are sore. I don't remember the last time my legs were sore from working out!
I have to AW DH a little bit. He has been great with LO lately. We had our first swim class on Saturday, and DH got in the pool with the babe. It was the most adorable thing ever. Sometimes I get jealous that he is home with him during the day and I'm at work, but the bond they're forming is pretty special and amazing to watch.
Aw, that is so great @lest12! My H is home with LO during the day too, but I know what you mean about them bonding - I love that they are able to have that alone time together. We start our swim lessons this weekend - can't wait!
I had something that I wanted to say, but now I can't remember - I feel like my brain has only been working around 25% lately...
Knowing I have to do a frozen embryo transfer next time I want a baby is bittersweet. I'm thankful I have "frosties" but it's also a little sad that I have to plan the next timing so much. Infertility and a twin pregnancy has made sooo much out of my control, and a part of me would just love to get a miraculous natural pregnancy. Realistically it's just not gonna happen though.
My coworker spilled to everyone I did IVF during my maternity leave (grr, a separate issue!) So now when I get pregnant again people are going to have their comments about it because they'll know we definitely planned it. It's not their business but you know how people are!
So I decided our next baby (note: singular lol) I will be team green! I want to have some aspect be a surprise and fun, because a lot of this process has not been :P
@katekat8721 - what the hell? why would someone ever do that??
I don't know if this was what I was thinking of, but this weekend E wore a sweater that my nana had made before she passed away. She died almost four years ago, but Thanksgiving morning of 2013 my grandfather found a blue baby sweater in their apartment that she had knitted. No one in the family knew she had knitted the sweater and there have been no babies in the family since my cousin was born 20 years ago. The day he found that sweater also happened to be the day that DH and I announced our pregnancy to our family. He told about the sweater after - it was such a weird coincidence but I like to think she knows about Everett and is watching over him - she would have loved him so much. It was so special to have him wear something that she made, even though he was never able to meet her. It definitely made me feel like she was there with us in some way

This gave me chills in a good way and I might have teared up a little. So sweet. And Everett looks adorable.
@katekat8721 what is wrong with people? I'm sorry your coworker said something.
My AW is that we started sleep training on sat and so far DS has done great. We also transitioned him to his own room, which I think helped. I'm a little sad he's in his own room though. I miss being able to check on him from the bed. (Our stupid monitor isn't working so I can't check on him without going into his room. Ugh).

Thanks all xo. She's going through IVF herself and is really really REALLY open about it, so apparently she didn't think anything of it to share the info. Lame!
Charlie can sit up unassisted and C can just about dress herself! I love plenty about the younger stages but oh it's nice to not be relied on for all the things all the time.
@frenchchocolate611 that is such a great story for her cute sweater. Definitely one to keep
Random: every time I give LO a bite of food she opens her mouth real wide then suctions her mouth right onto the spoon. I keep finding myself suddenly biting down on an imaginary spoon with every bite she takes. Glad no one is here to watch me.
AW Alert! My LO had been trying to crawl for the past month, she would put herself in position but couldn't get herself to move. Well, I don't know what happened during Saturday night but yesterday morning she woke up and was crawling and has been non stop since then. It's so amazing to see her doing it and I can't stop filming her lol.

Kat - since everyone knows (boo), you could just play the other card. Say it was a total surprise. No one needs to know your business!
My fur mom guilt is lessening! My dog has really bad allergies and was just hacking away at his ears. I have this anti itch spray but haven't been great about spraying him as much as he needs. We made a vet appointment and got him an antibiotic for his ear infection, a steroid shot to heal his scratches, prescription dog food in case he has a food allergy, drops that we put in twice a day, and ear cleaning stuff we use every other day. We also got him bathed and his nails trimmed.
The things left I need to do to get rid of my fur mom guilt are: Feed him less because he's gotten overweight, longer walk in the morning so I get a poo out of him every morning, give him his supplement twice a day.
My AW is Stella slept until 7:15 this morning. This has never happened. I woke up and just about had a heart attack because I am working from home today and had to be online at 7:30 (didn't set an alarm because she's usually up by 6 anyway) but let's focus on the positive here - 12 hours of sleep!
May I join! I've been on a 5 month hiatus (though I've been creeping)! Definitely have had a lot of adjusting to do, between going back to work and DH going back to school last semester it's been stressful, but things seem to be finally letting up a little, thank you Jesus!
Worst couple of days. I left work early to take a nap yesterday because I was feeling like crap. Nausea and some other issues that are not fun. While I'm home I get alerts on my phone that a shooting had occurred near campus (AKA by my apartment. Turns out about 1.5 blocks away). A guy busted into an apartment to rob some college kids, and they were packing heat and shot him dead (Texas...) So my phone blew up for over an hour, awesome nap.
LO was super clingy all night, on the boob about every hour or so. DH had work to do, so I was doing all the baby stuff, so nothing got done for today. LO was then up every 2 hours. DH was in a foul mood this morning (not sure why, he's perfectly healthy and got a full night of sleep.) Just. ugh.
Vent over. Thanks for reading.
You're all pretty super-moms.
ETA: thought this was working mom thread. Yeah. That's how my day is going.
I don't really know WTF is going with Parenting. They were THE SALTIEST HOS I've ever seen. I hope they can make a new group and have it work out, but in my experience, new groups tend to go off an die a sad slow death
If their IPs got banned, can't they use use a proxy server and make a new account?
@jmar2011 that's is so great! I can't imagine what a huge relief that is!
I have been lurking on the April bmb and following there daily challenge. It's been great, me and my ds1 do it in the morning together before he leaves for school.
I'm ashamed to say that the tricep dips have been embarrassingly hard.
@nnh7 - I didn't get it. This place is so screwy. I can't seem to send them, either.
Thanks @saltylovely.
I'm sorry I did that without saying anything. I heart so many of you. I'll own it, but I feel like crap.
You guys... I'm totally mortified by how I acted and don't even know how to apologize. I was so mad and reacted so poorly. The whole thing was shitty but i wish I had handled it better.
I'm sorry
I haven't been on TB lately because I'm super pissed about all this ridiculous banning nonsense but just wanted to say Hiiiiii! @lest12 :x And totally second everything @ugabamafans said because she's wise and has amazing GIFs. We heart you!

@frenchchocolate611 that is so sweet!
Married DH 7/30/11
CSC arrived 5/7/12
CHC arrived 6/2/14
LO has started sttn for 11-12 hours! He's also started cruising this week. Time is just flying!
I also decided my official back to work date (May - I'm Canadian). It'll be bittersweet when it gets down to it, but I'm excited to get back into it.
@frenchchocolate611 what a sweet story!

My boss just told me not to judge him for online shopping at work lol, now I wonder why I disliked him so much when I was pregnant!
Are you kidding?
