I’d guess he didn’t eat them if he’s still alert after an entire hour. That’s my totally uneducated opinion! Glad to hear everything’s ok that must have been scary for a bit there!

Yes very scary. Although, we live close to a children’s hospital, so I can always run over there if needed. Does anyone have a child safe medicine box they could recommend?
@doraleigh35 That happened to me and MH a few years ago. Somehow the girls never got it, thankfully, and my MIL and FIL came to pick them up so we could be miserable in peace LOL @gildah that's reassuring. I don't know of any medicine boxes, we just keep ours up high enough in the cupboard that the girls couldn't reach them (until recently, but now they're old enough to understand that they are not to eat stuff like that)

@sandbar517 It's the absolute worst! We have no family here, but thankfully were able to get a babysitter yesterday so we could rest. Luckily DD didn't have it nearly as bad as we did.
@thunderberry I'm sorry he can't be there with you My husband travels too and it can be so frustrating. I have my mom go to appts when she can. Hopefully you have another family member or friend who can go with you.
I'm a very firm believer that Christmas stuff should wait until after Thanksgiving, but after having kids, I'm starting to change my mind. I just heard a Christmas jingle on a commercial and I can't help it, I got a little excited!! I still LOVE Thanksgiving and think it deserves it's own day, but honestly it still can get lumped in with "The Holidays" and that still counts, right?

It’s been 2 hours 20 mins since he supposedly ate them and he seems fine. This is usually his nap time, but I’m keeping him up by letting him watch mighty machines. I also just bought a lock box for the mess. They are high up in the cabinet, but he pushed a chair over and climbed up. These kids are going to be the death of me!!!!! This is almost as bad as when DD sprayed bleach in her face right in front of DH. We were cleaning the bathroom and she grabbed it and sprayed herself as he was reaching to take it away. I called poison control and they told me to wrap her in a towel and put her eyes under running water for 20 15 mins. Instead, DH ran her to the ER. I was so unnerved that I poured myself a glass of wine and continued to clean the bathroom. I kid you not, DH and DD got back from the ER and I turned to talk to DH right as DD took my wine and started to drink it. Luckily it was like an ounce or something, because I never drink more than 2 ounces of wine at once, but still....the ER is quite familiar with our family.
My kid is actually napping today so instead of putting groceries away and cleaning up the joint, I'm sitting on my ass under a blanket and drinking coffee. Sometimes I just need to treat myself.
My exhaustion is a lot better today! I took the twins grocery shopping (which is a pain because they don't have double carts for them) and got supplies for dinner and other food. Then we cleaned the house, I did some laundry, and we all took amazing naps. I just got done putting together a crock pot pot roast. I have barely cooked or done laundry since our bfp so I'm extra excited that DH can come home tonight and just be with the kids.
@suchaglencoco I’ve recently started cooking again too after the bfp. Such a humanizing feeling, I’m glad you’re enjoying it too!
Okay, I have been really struggling to find work in our new town. I’m a Chef, and just haven’t been able to fathom working in a hot kitchen while pregnant so I’ve been twiddling my thumbs trying to come with some kind of temporary work to occupy me till I’m too pregnant to work. There are not a lot of Chef jobs out there for Chefs in small towns who don’t feel up to cooking I tell ya! WELL the restaurant at the local ski resort just called! I had applied months ago to be their baker for the season and they only just called now! It’s so perfect because the job is only Dec through the end of March. I’m interviewing tomorrow morning, I am absolutely thrilled. FX!!
@bcmountainmama, I'm sure my meals aren't nearly as good as yours, but I do enjoy cooking. Especially when the kids are distracted and I can listen to Pandora and use spoons as microphones. That jobs sounds perfect for your situation!
@bcmountainmama on one hand I'd say you can hide it because you don't have to worry about Maternity Leave but on the other hand it may help to give them a head's up about all the doctor appointments you'll have. I have no first-hand experience but I work with someone who told her potential boss she was pregnant during the interview and she was hired and still works for him and all is good. At my old job, there was a woman who didn't mention she was pregnant during the interview and her boss was a little pissed once he found out a few months later. Not that it would've changed his mind about hiring her but he wish he'd had a head's up about her going on Maternity Leave. Not sure if that helps you at all but there you go!
My randoms... I have been craving Panera's chicken noodle soup and french bread. I stopped there on the way back from work and got soup. It was good but it in no way lived up to the expectation I had in my head
I'm all for in and out doctor appointments but I drive 30 minutes at least to get there. I was in and out in 10 maybe 15 minutes today. I would have liked a little longer break from the terrible traffic
@glitzandglitter is got you beat. I drive 1.5 hours to get to mine. And the lady time I got car /morning sick from the drive and puked all over dh car door and my jacket so I smelt like puke during the 20 minute appointment, while we were shopping and went to lunch, and the 1.5 got drive home.
Also to add to the cooking, I think dh is annoyed I haven't made him dinner in over a month because cooking makes me feel sick. Tonight he was extra frustrated both propane tanks were out of gas for the grill and after he ran to town to fill them, he couldn't get the grill to light properly, there was yelling involved. He has a paper due for his grad class and left it for the night before so he's pretty stressed.
@thunderberry can he face time/Skype with you during the ultrasound?
@bcmountainmama I'm so unsure about pregnancy and nursing and work. There was a job I didn't get because I said I was nursing. They suggested I "take care of that" and then come back. I couldn't do anything about it because of the field and they hadn't put anything in writing anyway.
That said, you do want to start of on the right foot and hiding it could create bad feelings. I think I wouldn't make a point of saying it the first time you meet them. Before accepting the offer, tell them. I suspect it'll sorry of come naturally one way our the other.
@nanifrog@fraufarbissina Thanks for taking the time to comment! I’m going to cess it out when I get there but since it’s a small company I’m leaning towards spilling the beans in the breeziest tone I can muster. LOL
I can’t believe someone said that to you when you were nursing! People can be such tards!
So my bosses put an announcement in the studio newsletter about us getting married. They also included that we’re expecting our second child. This one bitch parent that I had the tact of a donkey fucking had the balls to tell me “well obviously because you clearly have a bump, and you just can’t hide things like that when you gain weight so rapidly.” Bitch... I’ve gained exactly two pounds now. TWO! One of which was from eating junk on our honeymoon. I love her kid, but I want to punch her every time she says anything to me. Ever.
@nanifrog wow. I am so angry for you about that job. Sounds like it’d be a sh*t working environment anyway, but that is not right. That must be illegal. When it is verbal, it is so hard to prove though. Cr4p like this makes me so angry.
@ivyvines6 I am guessing that lady has some issues of her own. If she is consistently rude to you, maybe she is jealous of you?
I just posted WTF Wednesday and HDBD threads, then had a momentary freak out that it might not actually be Wednesday. Like that one time I posted a Throwback Thursday tweet on my work's Twitter account, with thousands of followers, and it totally wasn't Thursday. It's definitely Wednesday now though. Phew.
@abhphilly for some reason this week has gone super fast for me (so far). So I keep getting confused on what day it is. I'm also still not sure if my bump is bumpy enough for HDBD, so I might hold off again
@silverhope I say as long as there's a baby in there somewhere, it's bumpy enough! But I've also been taking monthly pictures of myself smiling at my stomach since 4 weeks, and I have to admit it wasn't the most genuine smile for the first couple times. Haha. "I love you, pudge. And you too, little poppy seed buried somewhere in there."
@nanifrog That is so horrible, I can't believe they would say something like that to you. But the worse part is about all of those laws is that if asked, they can give some completely made up excuse as to why you didn't get the job, and say nothing about the fact that it was because you were nursing. So unreal. @bcmountainmama Could you please not use the word "tard" or "retard"? It is extremely offensive, and I'd like to keep the board as welcoming as possible. Thanks. @ivyvines6 I don't know how you haven't punched her yet. Ugh.

@sandbar517 netflix has christmas kid shows/movies up the wazoo right now, so I feel like that's all we have been watching. I even had christmas music on the other night when DS and I were making a cake I love this holiday season, and honestly can't believe Thanksgiving is next week.
Staying home with the toddler who had a fever last night. He was up at 1:30 am for Motrin and slept until 7:40 am which he desperately needed. I did too. They upped my insulin so when I went to have it refilled insurance said they wouldn't refill it until next week. It has been a shitshow between the doctor calling in the wrong prescription and insurance not realizing it is a new direction change. I've been a ball of anxiety trying to figure out what I was going to do if they didn't fill it today.
@nanifrog not very likely sadly, he's doing sound on a commercial so there doesn't tend to be a ton of downtime it's a good thought though, I'll text him before on the off chance they're on break or something. Also joining the chorus of people who can't believe someone would say that to you about nursing, I'd have them at the human rights commission faster than they could blink!
@bcmountainmama I would really think twice before disclosing your pregnancy prior to being hired. For one thing they have no right to know and if they're annoyed you didn't disclose it they know nothing about employment law. You just never know when someone's going to have a weird stereotype and think your pregnancy is going to reduce your efficiency etc. We're still early enough along that it's not unusual to be keeping a pregnancy private anyway, one coworker of mine didn't tell anyone until she was past her anatomy scan just in case there were issues.

Singing and dancing is my favourite part of cooking too!!
Now I just have to decide if I should disclose my bump or suck it in till I’m hired! Anyone have any advice on that front?

I guess the bump is grumpy again. Triple post. Ignore.
This one too.
