I ate entirely way too much yesterday and now I have a tummy ache so I'm staying home from work. Hopefully, it's a relaxing day and I can get to folding those piles of laundry!
I tried to do the 50 piece nugget challenge with my dad yesterday for Super Bowl and totally failed. He ate all of his and I only ate 35! Anti-acid tablets helped me get some shut eye last night, but I just keep burping nuggets this morning and its so freakin' disgusting!!! Never again!
DS has had really bad congestion and a nasty cough all weekend. Needless to say neither him nor mama got much sleep and I am draaaagging at work. Definitely having the coffee today. Kinda got onto DH about him getting to have a "relaxing" weekend. Maybe that whole story is better in BF Mondays Haha!
Uggghhh.... this douche canoe at work has been coming into meetings sick all last week and I kept telling him to call in because I can't afford to be sick. He even said he had that thing that's been going around. Dude, if you're contagious.... BEAT IT! Well, I've got the scratchy throat which always leads to a wonderful cold. I'm going to slash his tires.

I got called off work last night so was able to go to my mom's and have stuffed bread and buffalo dip (sorry @SnarkasaurusRex ) and all the good things! Yay!
DS cried when I dropped him off at daycare...he NEVER cries when I drop him off. Really hoping it was just because he didn't want to get up this morning and that it is not the beginnings of separation anxiety for him.
In lighter news, I did get myself some buffalo chicken dip yesterday so all is well in the world again.
My random is I can't believe how exhausted I am. I was so productive this weekend, I was nesting like a crazy person, but it has seemed to completely zap me from all my energy and I'm still trying to recover. Every time I sit down, it's like my body starts to power down and I can barely keep my head up.
@SnarkasaurusRex DD cried this morning too. Also never cries, plus they had a banana waiting for her. I think she was thrown off by the EI woman in the room (stranger danger!)
Had a freak out moment last night. 2 of my friends are due with their little ones next week and then I am the next one due! Had like 4 people "ahead" of me so I was like "eh I am so far off, no biggie." Now I am "oh crap, it's almost my turn, I'm not ready!!"
I have now entered the dropping shit phase of my pregnancy. For some reason during my last trimester my hands will randomly just stop working for a second. Last night I was pulling my strawberry sparkle cake out of the fridge and dropped it into the fridge door. I did my best to get it back on the plate and straighten it up but most of the whipped cream icing is gone. So sad. I had only had 1 slice.
I really don't know how to react to DeVos being confirmed as Secretary of Education. I've made my whole career working in low-income public schools that would be shut down to fund charters (because they're "failing"...mostly because we're already underfunded). What's going to happen to my job? What happens to these kids?
I want to trust that the changes would not be rapid but the way this administration is operating so far, I'm not so confident. Blahhh.
ETA DH just texted me and said "Shouldda bailed out to the rich kid school when you had the chance!" Oyyy. I have to laugh or I'll cry, haha. I did get offered a job at the brand new school in this county for this school year, but I chose to stay where I am because I've started a lot of school improvement things here and I want(ed) to see them through.
@SnarkasaurusRex bleh, I understand how you are feeling. I am not a fan of Betsy. And I also want to believe that perhaps the changes would be slow or not happen, but the way things are going I don't think I can expect that. A sad day for public schools.
@SnarkasaurusRex as a public school teacher, I am definitely not in support of her confirmation. I think it's bad news for public education across the board and am keeping my fingers crossed that we start to see more of the "checks and balances" system that supposedly exists in this country...
I finally went to urgent care last night after DS went to bed - got a Z pack and legit did a happy dance in the parking lot. This sinus infection/laryngitis has hit me so hard that I was desperate and almost in tears convinced that they wouldn't prescribe me anything.
In other news - we started potty training DS (2.5 yr old) this weekend and the kiddo was obviously beyond ready for this transition and I was obviously dragging my feet - haha shocker. As much as I hate diapers on toddlers, they are less hassle in the sense that I don't have to think about it. But he was doing so well in pull ups at school that I felt the pressure... Proud mama moment - he's done so well! Even pooped in the potty last night. Too cute to see how much he loves getting to wear big boy undies.
I just went back and read my intro. It was kind of funny. It's definitely hard to believe that when I posted it I was only 4+2 and now we are all in our third trimester. man how time flies even when you feel like it's crawling.
also, I can't be the only one that bumps from the bathroom, amiright?!
The nesting urge is STRONG. At home and at school. I just made DH go through every kitchen cabinet and throw stuff out with me. I want everything organized, every tiny crevice cleaned, I want to use food out of the pantry just so it's GONE, I want all my lesson plans typed, examples provided, etc. I feel a bit psychotic.
@taylor72 I'm bumping from the bathroom now. I also do it at work. I figure if I'm going to pee a thousand times a day I might as well bump while I do it. Hahaha.
So, I guess I am at the point where people feel like they are safe to assume I am pregnant. All of a sudden this past weekend I had a handful of strangers asking me when my due date was, etc. After the first one I made a comment to DH about how I guess I was huge enough that there was no doubt now. And then like 4 other people said something the next couple days. Also, I pretty much hate every single moment of pregnancy from here on out.

I had to leave work early this morning, DS is running a fever again. They said he had been laying on the bean bag chair since DH dropped him off and refused water and food. DH said he seemed fine this morning, I was already gone by then. He had a fever on Monday too and DH picked him up early, but when we took his temp he was good and energy/behavior was still the same as usual, and he was perfectly fine Tuesday. Today though, he seemed a little shaky when I picked him up, he laid on the couch and watched Grey's with me until he fell asleep, I could only get him to nibble on some goldfish and some pedialyte. His fever was 100.6 which doesn't have me too worried, and I just checked on him and he doesn't feel warm anymore, but you can tell the poor guy just doesn't feel good

@wagnerw I feel the same. I can barely walk around most days lately, but have somehow found the energy to obsessively clean the apartment lol. DH hasn't been helping keep up with things lately and its been driving me crazy. I'm limiting myself to everything except the kitchen and bathroom, because I don't want to over do it--plus I hate cleaning those! Since I'm home early today, I've contemplated leaving things outside our door that need to be thorn away/donated (large items like a broken lamp, rug, clothes, etc.) so DH will finally do something with them just so they're out of the apartment.
I have been complaining about how it's hard to bend over to pick things up when I drop them and DH got me this as a gag gift although I think this is a gag gift I will actually use
I've been using my toddler as my claw grabber tool. He's more than happy to be my big boy helper and I don't have to bend down as much. Totally win win.
@lovelongdog06 oh I totally take advantage of my daughter's willingness to be a helper too! It's pretty much the best part of already having a kid while pregnant.
I've just been walking away when I drop something. If it hits the floor I no longer need it. The other day there were 3 pens on the floor at work. My boss walked over and said "Looks like Ginny's been over here. Do you need me to bring you some more pens?"
I have the best neighbor (and my mom is pretty great too.) We got over a foot of snow today and my mom stopped by.. I didn't even realize she was here til I looked out the window and saw her and my neighbor shovelling my driveway (DH was at work).. then they got my husband's truck started!
I'm getting sick. I don't think it has anything to do with that orange I ate out of the trash though From the time I woke up, my nose hasn't stopped leaking. I try to blow it, but nothing comes out. It just wants to leak. And I've been sneezing like crazy all day long. Now, I'm starting to feel some pressure in my head/sinus. Ugh...I don't wanna be sick!
Ok, not really sure where to post this so sorry if it's better fitting somewhere else!
DS has been sick the last week with a cough/congestion. He seemed to be doing better the last two days and I thought we were on the downhill side of it. Last night he started complaining that his ear was "itchy" and then by bedtime he was sobbing it hurt and kept his hand on it or messing with it. Long story short, it was a very very LONG night filled with holding him sitting up, walking and pacing with him, him wanting to lay in his bed, him sleeping 20/30 minutes, waking up crying that he wanted held, and repeat...from basically 9pm til 3:30am. He also threw up around 1am so that was fun doing laundry when I already felt delirious.
All that to ask my question! I'm hoping it's just a combo of being tired and walking with him a lot but my lower back and then pelvis area hurt SO bad today. Can't walk very well at all. It's kinda crampy kinda just achey. I am feeling quite a few Braxton hicks but I was yesterday too before all this started. Trying to drink lots of water and take it as "easy" as I can today but I told my husband I was kind of freaking out all this might send me into early labor. Either that or I'm going to get sick next and that'll do it. Please calm me down!
