@ASmallWonder "Oh that sounds awful. Let's reschedule for the weekend, hopefully everyone will be feeling better by then" Maybe even throw in a half sarcastic "We definitely don't want to be sharing that".

ASmallWonder

I just texted SIL offering sympathies and jumped right to "Are you guys around Friday or Sunday instead?"

We have an 18 month old as of today! How has the time gone by so fast?!?!! I wish she wasn't sick

DH just got asked at work to go to Panama for a week for work to listen to music and write about it. I couldn't even get the boys to cooperate to get to shower this morning. He should definitely take the opportunity but I'm crying real tears of hot jealousy right now.

@42Butterflies‌ , yay for the new walker! That's exciting. Now get ready to keep her out of everything

I've had a busy day already and it's not even noon yet! Grayson had his 18 month appointment today.  28 lbs and 33 inches tall! We've got such a big boy.  He only got 1 shot today and doesn't have to go back until he's 2.  She wasn't took worried about his speech (not saying very many words) but gave me the number to call to have him evaluated if I started to worry about it.  We are supposed to be getting rid of the binky to see if that helps with his speech.  Fingers crossed.

My boss is taking my out to lunch today for Christmas!! I can't wait!

@sctiger twins! DD was 23.5lbs and 32.5" at her 18 month appt.

Last night we went mattress shopping!  Merry Christmas to me!  I'm so excited for it to come!  We are using all of our Christmas money on it and not getting anything for each other but this, but it will be worth it.  It's amazing!

KJ and I had a great time with @violet1183‌ and J! We went to breakfast then to music hour at a bookstore down the street. We got a chance to talk and get to know each other more. KJ and J were not really into playing together/sharing but they did show each other a little love. Here are some pics:

So I don't think I'm doing my BCP right, or something has messed up. I started it in September, on my first day of period. During week four, the placebo week, I had just light spotting. Not even enough to wear a tampon. It was like that for Oct and Nov too. Then this past month I got what I considered to be a full period on week three of the hormone pills. I'm now on week four of that pack, the placebos, and am concerned I'm not protected because my period was last week. Am I normal? Can anyone weigh in? I will call the nurse at my Ob if I need to.

@VASC I haven't had a period in I don't know how long.  Nope, not pregnant.  Just on BCP.  I sometimes will get something and then I don't get anything.  It never happens at the time the pills say either.  They said it was because of my weight.  I think it's because I am sensitive to meds.  I don't even think I've ovulated for some time.

I finally got a special little boy's birthday card in the mail today. Hopefully I put enough stamps on it to make it to Canada.

I went to the post office yesterday to get mine mailed off! I was surprised I was only standing in line for about 20 minutes! I didn't want to have to worry about making sure there were enough stamps so I just had them put a Canadian stamp on it. Hopefully it makes it to you guys! haha

How much postage did you put on your bday card to Canada? @ColieAnn31‌ how much was the canadian stamp? I mailed mine out yesterday and i think i put almost $2.50 in stamps on it to be safe. (Usps said its $1.15 for a postcard on their site so i just put more than that)

I paid $1.15 for the stamp.

Well, daddy is off to watch the Oil lose again so I think that makes this a perfect afternoon for Madeline and mommy to make and decorate cookies for Santa. Just finished making the dough while she's sleeping and we will roll, cut, bake and decorate after nap's over. I'm sure it will be messy, but fun! Lol

Just finished up at Brantleys weight check appt and the dr asked if I was literally feeding him liquid gold! The boy gained 12oz in 4 days. He now weighs 7lbs 4oz and is over his birth weight.

riansmommie

@mcbush‌ yes you can do bath salts while pregnant

needanustart

Errrr mah gawd. We left Boston at 2pm. We are at the Charlton rest stop on 90. We are averaging 2 miles in 2.5 hours right now. Wtf is going on? We heard there was an accident but it was hours ago. The boys are being as good as can be expected but the troops are starting to lose their minds. And them facing different directions sucks right now.

eTA it was a horrible accident with a jackknifed tractor trailer, another truck and a car. There was at least one fatality. I'll stop complaining about sitting in traffic and be happy I wasn't in the accident now.

lioness13

My SH slept all day and left the house at 4pm to run errands. 5 min in he called to say it was crazy out. Duh!

daffy2k

Oh, and I picked up our new stove while I was in town. I ordered it ages ago but it finally came! Can't wait until Tyson has time to tube it in so we can install it!!

Stupid iPhone. Double post

@needanustart‌ hope the rest of the drive goes smoothly. Be careful and drive safe!!!

hellooldfriend

My brain is so fried, I'm thankful to have a few days off. Tonight I had a baby dr appointment. I went into the bathroom to pee in a cup. Well, I peed, washed my hands and then realized I didn't even pee in a cup!! Luckily I was able to pee a little more, but talk about a doh doh brain. Then I told the nurse what happened and was giggling, she just said "ok." Umm you can't laugh at that? Then she asked if I was still on the prescription for heart burn, I said "yes, but it upsets my belly" she said "have you tried tums?!" Like really lady? You think I would skip all the over the counter stuff and go right for a script. X_X

@lioness13, how much did he pay for tht master's? You may want to ask for a refund

@riansmommie‌ yay Brantley! Mirabelle has also gained a pound since last week! My LC said that since B didn't wean until the summer, my milk probably never dried up.

) Can't buy common sense!

riansmommie

@vitafelix‌ that's exactly what my LC at the hospital told me too! Said that by weaning so late into my pregnancy it gave Brantley a jump start because I never dried up. Yay for babies gaining weight so well!

I am so anxious for Nora to finish nursing and go to bed! There is some extra good mashed potatoes that I made for tomorrow that I am sampling tonight... And wine. With the risk of sounding like I fatty-- the wine was an afterthought- I'm really just excited about the potatoes.

lioness13

Having a spiked egg nog. Cheers!

megaroo64

Half a glass of wine-- and I might be trashed.

lioness13

So glad you got tomorrow off @violet1183‌!

needanustart

5 hours later than expected, we are halfway to our destination and at our hotel for the night. This is officially the worst wine I've ever had, but the gas station bottle was necessary. Staying in one hotel room with two overtired kids is so much fun! Bathroom drinking for two! Cheers!

daffy2k

H is out for the night and I'm Pinterest planning a lot of renovations. I've sketched layouts, cabinet placement and styles, and done up a ton of measurements. Now I'm shopping online for everything I want to do. He is not going to be thrilled when he wakes up tomorrow and I tell him I planned 25-30 grand worth of renos while he was at the game. Whoops! It's gonna look good though!

momofcatan

@hellooldfriend‌ I disinctly remember at one OB appointment, probabl early 3rd tri, thinking "I got this shit down, I know the drill". Going to the bathroom and peeing, but forgetting to pee on the stick. Good think there's always more pee when your pregnant.

cynthia2007

Why am I awake right now??? Can't breathe and I think I'm getting sick now

I hope A wakes up today feeling better. I want her to enjoy Christmas. We've been stuck in this house for a few days now and I have so much packing and crap to do today.

megaroo64

Join me to the trouble sleeping club. Got up at 3 to pump and struggled falling asleep again and now I'm up for the day. Just had to send DH to urgent care. He is convinced he has a sinus infection and feels like crap but apparently just wants to ride it out. Um- no- go to the doctor!

Cricket81

God help me, I need to go to Target
DH told me last night that he never got anything for our super generous friend who is coming for the weekend starting Friday morning. Oh, and by the way, friend is bringing his girlfriend-type-person who is impossible to shop for, but I feel like we should have something for her too.

Target, don't fail me now!

Nothing like cleaning up vomit on Christmas Eve morning when you are expecting a house full of guests by 2. Guess I should cancel that now. Not quite sure how to explain it to DS though.

Oh no!

lioness13

It was a miserable night for us. Must be a full moon or something because KJ who always STTN woke up at 2am and wouldn't go back to sleep until 5am. I think it could be the cough syrup/mucus reducer we have her last night. After the play date her nose started running more and I wanted to stop whatever might be coming in its tracks. I think the medicine made her wake up and stay awake. Some meds have that affect on me. Or it could be that she knew we were sleeping in the same room and was excited. My DH was super helpful but nothing seemed to work. She seems totally fine this morning and her nose isn't running as much. I feel like a zombie.

cynthia2007

@42Butterflies‌, you or kiddos? Hope no one is sick

ColieAnn31

I was supposed to be able to sleep in until 9 this morning but my body had other plans and woke me up at 7:30. I haven't gotten out of bed yet though...

megaroo64

So... My brother just called. He is staying with my mom right now and he wants me to come over and help clean up her house before tomorrow. When I ask where she is- he says "I don't know- she woke me up at 5am because she wasn't feeling well and said she was going to the emergency room- that's the last I heard from her." Hella-what!?!? Our mother that NEVER goes to the hospital, voluntarily went to the ER and you just rolled over and went back to bed!?!? What the actual fuck.
