Saturday nausea

PeachsMama

I'm so nauseous. Which I'm taking as a good sign since I wasn't with the last pregnancy.

Hoping I get to leave work early. More poker playing tonight at my grandparents house. DH and I have been kicking butt.

My uncle just keeps getting worse. DH is taking my cousin to visit him in the hospital today. My mom is gonna (try to) prepare him for the end. She thinks by weeks end he'll be gone..

My appointment went well. We saw the sac and egg sac but were one week too early to see a heart beat. I go Friday to see the heart beat and have my first appointment for this baby. Crazy cakes.

Matthew doesn't need surgery. They diagnosed him with retracting testicles? So odd. As long as the muscle keeps letting them back down its fine. If the muscle stops letting them down he'll need surgery before he's 5.

What's wveryone else up to today?

Nothing exciting here, but I Lol'd at your post title. Yay/boo for nausea!

I am about to try to put this dude down for a nap. Wish me the lucks.

Kfran84

@JoeLies‌ Sounds like a great morning! Glad you guys had a good talk.

This nap is a disaster.

I'm giggling thinking about low budget porn involving a delivery man. Thanks @MotherEFFingKatie‌ and @Finnaroo‌

Slow start to our morning in VT. Waiting for a seat at this yummy smelling diner. So hungry.

Not sure what's next. Maybe the Ben and Jerry's factory. Who doesn't love ice cream. And cheese. I need to by cheese. We're in VT after all.

Enjoy your Saturday girls!

@CaiShov‌ no kidding! I'm going to start SOA this week. I'm always up for a sex booster lol

Lazy morning so far. We are going to go watch my nephews wrestle after Layla wakes up from her nap.

Layla hit her head really hard this morning and it is all my fault. I was pulling up her pants because they were dragging and she swung like a pendulum face first into the floor poor baby, she cried for a ling time.

Also, I made homemade coffee creamer this morning from a recipe on pinterest.... NOT EVEN CLOSE! I can drink it, but it doesn't offer the same yummy goodness

@PeachsMama‌ glad you are reassured by the morning sickness, but sorry you have it at the same time. Yay for seeing sac and egg though!!

@hobbitwife‌ glad you finally got some meds!!

@JoeLies‌ get that morning sex!! Happy you guys had a good talk!

@MotherEFFingKatie‌ sorry you guys are sick:( hope y'all feel better soon.

TJHine

@Finnaroo‌ Thanks for asking, T has a double ear infection so hopefully the antibiotics will start helping soon - so glad I took him to the pedi this morning!

Hugs to @MotherEFFingKatie‌ and @lfigge‌ and @PeachsMama!

Today is my big housekeeping day. I've already started laundry and scrubbed down most of the house. I'm trying to work out my meal plan before I start baking and cooking for the week. The hardest part about meal planning is me wanting to eat all the food.

cagoldi

Hi ladies!

Just emerging from the kitchen long enough to do a quick check-in. Marathon freezer cooking day over here. I'm doing the toddler meals # 7 from Melissa Fallis, which I'd forgotten about until Sing mentioned them the other day. Also doing baked oatmeal, healthy breakfast cookies, pumpkin pie muffins, and Mexican sweet corn cakes. I'm tired just typing it out.

Have a good Saturday, girls!

TJHine

Little man is so miserable, and his fever went up. He woke up after almost 2 hrs, took some Tylenol, and he just nursed back to sleep. This may be the sickest he has been.

@cagoldi I did the #7 toddler meals on Tuesday this week...it took forever but we have so much food for G now. The way the recipe is written for the chicken Apple sausage egg muffins we ended up with 24 mini muffins and 12 regular muffin sized ones. I claimed the big muffins for breakfast this week since DH will be out of town.

What are your favorite pizza toppings? I'm making mini pizzas to freeze.

TJHine

Tylenol rocks. That is all.

cagoldi

@kamakaziartist‌ Mashed banana, applesauce, rolled oats, craisins, a little vanilla, and cinnamon basically. Very similar to the baked oatmeal.

If I find more ambition I'll do prosciutto wrapped Mac and cheese cups also.

@guiltypleasures‌ shallots, minced garlic, crumbled feta, chopped spinach, and diced tomato.

@j0509 I got cold just reading that.

cagoldi

@j0509 You should take a trip down to SoCal and pay me a visit. 60 is the high today but by Tuesday we're up to 79.

It was -24 when I was at Dracula's castle, IIRC. It felt like my fingers and face were so brittle and frozen that the next gust would surely make them crumble into a million places and scatter them in the wind.

thelastunicornxo

@jo509 I know feel ridiculous for complaining about how "cold" it has been in Phoenix! (It has been in the 50's!!! Brrr!!!)  I don't think I would ever leave my bed if I had to live in that cold of weather!

Dh had to work today so I made the kids muffins and then we went to the gym. I hardly ever go the gym on the weekends, but I got in a really good workout today and then went and sat in the Sauna for 15 minutes… it was wonderful! Now I"m just waiting for him to get home and I have a hair appointment. I'm so excited, I'm going to go early and walk around barnes and noble for a bit and get a coffee!!! I just need to decide what to do with my hair, I've been growing it out for about 2 years and I always get the urge to chop it off right about now, but then I usually end up regretting it and growing it out again! I think I found a picture on pinterest with longer layers and some side-swept bang that I like!

I'm nervous. DH is having some friends over to watch the fights tonight. Usually I would watch a chick flick in my room but he just told me one of the guys is bringing his new girlfriend. This guy and his now ex wife were our best "couple friends" before their divorce. I don't think I'm ready to meet his girlfriend. Is that weird? Oh and now I feel like I have to stay up with them.

mskatiep

So I need a hair change, do you think I could pull this cut off? Not the color, but I'm open to suggestions...

This is what I'm workin with. Sorry a little blurry, camera on my phone blows. I have had it long most of my life. It is a lot of thin hair.

Are you still friends with the wife?

Yes.

@cagoldi‌ That's awesome that did all that cooking! I feel like I can't do anything in the kitchen with LO around. Any tips on child management? I can't wait till LO is old enough to hang out and "help"

@meeshkaroni‌ I'm sorry you guys are sick! Hope you feel better tomorrow!

Question for all of you that make the freezer meals. I always cut them up into small pieces. Do you guys give them to your LOs whole?

Cut into small pieces. G shoves a bunch of pieces in at once, he doesn't quite get the whole "take a bite" thing yet.

We started watching SOA again from the beginning ..I get to fall in love with Jax all over again.

@fitmama418‌ YGPM Also I started using this on my lips and it has helped A LOT. https://www.vaseline.us/product/lip-therapy/rosy.html

Back atcha, @MotherEFFingKatie (and @Dapostrophe, for that matter). I'm glad my Vaseline advice was helpful.

mskatiep

@klongoria11‌ Layla does exactly the same thing. It is very frustrating! We try a little timeout as well, but even with that she immediately comes back and does exactly what she knows we don't want her doing. I do not know a solution, I'm praying it is a phase. I think our next step will be a little longer timeouts, we usually give in if she starts crying.

thelastunicornxo

Ok, got it cut! Kept it long though.., what do you guys think?

thelastunicornxo

@cgmb yes!! I'm out in surprise! Way west side! Are you here?

Edit for fat fingers

thelastunicornxo

Thanks @kamakaziartist‌ and @jo500

cagoldi

I don't cut up the freezer meals. A just takes bites out of them, like he would if he were eating an apple.

@klongoria11 I do what @chrisy_01 does. If A slaps me he gets a very stern, "No, we don't hit," while I firmly grab his hand and hold it so I have his attention. That usually works, at least temporarily. Sometimes he tries to test me and starts to wind up again but often just another stern, "Hands down!" works.

@chrisy_01 @meeshkaroni Hope you are feeling better.

Cadence headbutted me in the jaw today. I said, "Ow! That is NOT nice." She looked and me and then slapped me across the face and laughed.
What the heck am I doing wrong here? She beats the crap out of me and laughs like it is the funniest thing in the world. I tell her no and that it isn't nice and today I made her get off my lap and play by herself for a few minutes. She comes right back and does it again, though, so I'm not sure how exactly to get her to stop.
She does this anytime we tell her no. She looks at us and does the exact same behavior again, whatever it is, usually laughing while she does it. So is she not understanding the meaning of "no" or is she basically just giving us a big "f you, I'm going to do what I want"?

Just from my experience, the bigger deal I seem to make of things right now, the stronger the reaction I get from G. So lately when he grabs or hits us we just say "be gentle" and redirect to something else. It usually gets him to focus on something else. Interrupting his focus on the thing I don't want him to do seems to be enough for now.

cagoldi

@kfran84 My kitchen is tiny. While I do prep I let A hang out. I give him a whisk and bowl, potato masher, spatula, something cooking related to play with. He knows where I keep my cookbooks and will get into those and look at them. When I run the oven the door gets hot so I have to kick him out at that point.

He gets frustrated sometimes and he wants to be part of the action. I am looking into buying a learning tower and hoping he would enjoy it more if he could see what I'm doing. If we do that then I'll probably just give him some of his play pots, pans, knives and whatever else to imitate cooking.

@CFox815‌ ☺️☺️☺️☺️

PeachsMama

Matthew does the same thing @CaiShov‌ one little "no " results in a complete melt down sometimes.

PeachsMama

DH took my cousin to visit my uncle today while I worked. My mom broke the news to him and they decided to sign a DNR. He's gone mentally and the doctors say there's no recovering. He hit my mom multiple times today and keeps fighting the nurses. This isn't him. He's the kindest, gentlest man ever. We'll be moving in next week/weekend.

He's staying with us tonight so he can go to church tomorrow. He's made it known that seeing a therapist is "for wuss'" but I'm hoping going to church will help and maybe he'll connect with our youth group leader and he can help him some with his anger and dealing with all this. We can offer support and guidance but this isn't something I can relate to. I think he needs someone to talk to that can either relate or is educated in coping techniques.

And this is my future living with one 16 year old and a 24 year old that hasn't excepted that he's not 16.. Madden..

@peachsmama that's so hard, and so much responsibility to take on. You are very strong. I"m sorry for what you are going through.

@margaerytyrell Back-up Mama arrived today. Thank you so much.

Speaking of nausea, Si just woke up and as soon as I entered room the smell was god awful. Long story short he had diahrread out the back of his diaper and up to his neck. While DH was out with the guys, of course. So lots of cleaning and almost being sick myself.

Oh, ew. That's awful. Hope he feels ok.

Karadee1

@MotherEFFingKatie‌ oh no! Poor Si and poor momma, hopefully he's ok the rest of tonight and tomorrow.
