TR: I went mattress shopping with DD this morning and we stopped at several stores. (I could tell that I was a low-priority customer in each store once I told them I was in there for a twin bed rather than a new living room set.) DD and I had fun testing out the beds anyway! A saleswoman really helped me out on the whole "big girl bed" transition when DD and I walked by her on our way to look at the beds. She pretended to be super excited and said, "Ah! Are you here to pick out your very own big girl bed??" My daughter lit up like it was obviously the coolest thing she's ever done in her 23 months of life.
@LiveNLove44 I may have purposely arranged for my SO to be the one dropping him off and for me to pick him up. I'll forever be the hero! hahah
@babymazzei, there is no shame in your game! I set it up that way for daycare when we started with DD, and I hope to have the same arrangement when this LO arrives!!
Hey there Sales Director... I already did my job! Thanks for checking up on me. If you had bothered to look in the system, or, say, I dunno, actually TRUSTED me... you may not come across as such a jerk. I have been doing my job very well for, umm... like the 3 years I have been here. Just because I don't micro manage you doesn't mean I need to be micro managed myself.
GAAAAHHH!!!
Le Sigh. He just frustrates me. 64 days til Mat Leave.
Mama to a wonderful DD - Sep 2015, Wife to my DH since 2011, 2 dogs, a cat, and hoping to add No. 2 in May/June 2018. Canadian. 5 - IUIs, 3 - IVF retrievals, 2- failed transfers (fresh, and frozen), PGS on second IVF resulted in 1 perfect emby, and DD. 3rd IVF w PGS resulted in 3! perfect embys. 1st transfer - Sep 2017 2 more on ice.
I asked my husband to bring home mushrooms and bacon Sat morning while he was out, so I could make omelettes when he got home. I was SOOOO flipping pissed that he bought whole mushrooms, and not sliced. Like I wanted to waste time cleaning and slicing mushrooms. I just wanted to quickly throw them in the pan. Come on dude! Do you not know me at all?!? He also got deli bacon, which is thick and flavorless, just to save 2 bucks. I could have actual killed him dead for that. Mama wants Oscar Mayer!
I'm going back home to Chicago on Friday to stay with my best friend from college. I am so excited!!! My best friend from high school is going to drive in the city to spend a day with us as well. Also, can't wait for all the delicious food I will be eating, a little taste of home. I hope I don['t forget to take my rings off before the flight though because when DH and I flew Memorial Day weekend I could barely get them off afterward.
There have been two stillborn posts in the last two weeks that have made me really, really sad. I just sit and wait for LO to move, and am so grateful when it happens. Makes me happy to be going to the doc every two weeks, quite honestly.
My heart breaks for them. They are living a nightmare right now. I burst into tears when I saw the most recent post. It's terrifying how quickly things can take a turn for the worst.
My mom and I took my niece to buy "big girl panties" today because my mom, who watches her when my sister and BIL are at work, is insisting she should be potty training (she's 2) by now. After Target, we went out for lunch and my mom asked her if she wanted a roll and her answer was to scream I LOVE BREAD! Then she saw a picture of pie on the menu and screamed I LOVE PIE!
She used the potty when she got home though. We are all pretty happy about that.
@cgummie - I love it. My 6 year old was in the backseat Saturday and randomly says I love doughnuts. I need a doughnut. Then switched to a high pitched squeal and repeated doughnut over and over for about a minute.... no clue why....
My random is that I accidentally left the oven on overnight. Whoops! I'm normally so neurotic that I check the locks and make sure everything is turned off multiple times before I go to bed, but not last night! Pregnancy brain at its finest.

I burst into tears when I read the one posted earlier today. I just hit 30 weeks and losing my baby girl is my biggest fear right now. My heart breaks for this mama.
Bombarded with work mountains of paperwork. I just want to say to hell with it all and take a nap. Plus, I decided to eat lunch in the office today due to a Drs appointment earlier today. Well lets just say I took one bite of my food and after a million interruptions just finished (3 hours later) . Pretty hangry. On a happy note my placenta has moved up and I should be good to go on a vaginal delivery. (yay).
We have had a lot of rain and now my gravel driveway is IN my front lawn. I've been craving green grapes but they are so expensive and they finally went on sale
Dd1 (will be 2 in September) started today walking around sticking her belly out. My best guess is is she sees my belly and wants to have one like me. I asked her a little bit a go where (insert baby's name here) is and she pointed to my belly and then started walking/standing with her little belly stuck out!
We have a new employee that will be taking over my caseload when I am on mat leave and I called some of my families just to prepare them and they laughed when I told them the new girls name. Treasure. I feel bad , I hope the families don't give her crap over her name!
Also for lunch today I just wanted to eat. A lot. My coworkers just kept feeding me! Mashed potatoes, steamed broccoli and carrots, pineapple and peperoni pizza, peah slices, smores Oreo cookies, and a piece of chocolate zucchini cake. Mm so hungry today!
Okay, I am about to throw my remote through my tv. Hulu won't load anything!!! It just says "Retrieving" forever when I try to play a show, and then it shoots me back to the home screen. So annoying.
I'm also so sad to hear about the baby losses. As soon as I read them I told myself I wouldn't complain ever again about the painful kicks to my bladder or belly pressure. My heart seriously breaks for these ladies and I'm so very thankful now for every tiny movement I get from my little one. I hope with time these women can find closure and peace with this unfortunate situation.
I didn't want to comment on these horrible incidents because I don't know what to say that hasn't already been said. It's so heartbreaking and I hope to god no one else here has to go through that
