*Sophia turning one tomorrow is very bittersweet for me.  I can't believe she is one already.   I love the stage she's in now, but I miss having a little baby.

*My IL's are coming to visit on Weds.a nd staying until Sunday.   I'm actually looking forward to their visit.  Hopefully it's a nice time.

*I don't want to work 3p-7p today, but after that I get two days off!

*I didn't put a lot of effort or planning into Sophia's first birthday party, but you know what, we''ll still have a great time with family and friends.

*i hate classic cars. sure they look cool,but i have NO interest in EVER owning one.  dh knows nothing about fixing them up & everyday i get more and more annoyed when he talks about buying one. um, with WHAT money??  so you can spend more time outside & NOT inside helping me?? k whatever.

*i enjoy cooking and i get frustrated that i can't do it as much w/ ds.

*we're having ds's baptism next weekend and have a bunch of family coming in for that.  however there's already so much drama going on w/the families that i wish it were already over.

I tried a night without the swaddle last night and it went HORRIBLE. So with a cranky baby and not much sleep, I've spent the morning doubting pretty much everything we've done with Dane so far. I think I stressed so much about bf the first two months that I neglected things like setting up good sleep habits. Now I don't know how to fix the things I messed up. I just feel so clueless sometimes.

*I never thought I could be a SAHM, even right after having ds I thought I would always want to work.  Now, not so much.  I miss him and even though daycare has gotten better I still don't like it.  Anyone have those lotto numbers??

*My MIL is really starting to bother me since she has absolutely no interest in ds.  But, I can't really talk to DH about it b/c I don't want to hurt his feelings.

my mil is coming over tomorrow to *help* me at 3:30-4pm!  That's not freaking helping me!  Dh gets home from work around 4pm each night.  grrrrrrr.  She is so out there... i can't stand her most days anymore.

*DH was OOT last night. It takes me longer to fall asleep when he's not home but I sleep better when he's gone. I really did miss him but I love having the bed to myself some nights.

*I'm excited for DS's birthday party this weekend. We didn't do anything major for it either but it should be a good time.

*I'm still trying to decide if I want my very last bf session with DS to be Friday or Saturday night. If I do it Friday night I can be selfish for the first time in a year (more than that if you count the pregnancy!) and have two more ::gasp!:: drinks at the party but if I do it Saturday I can say he was officially bf'd for one year. -Sidenote: just realized I still have frozen bm. Maybe if I give him some of that in a bottle I can have the best of both worlds...

*I have no idea how we are going to get DS to sleep without me nursing him. He's been self weaning so the timing is right and he's on board and doesn't seem to miss the sessions we've dropped so far but he hates the bottle (always has) and refuses to drink from the sippy laying back.

*The above confession makes me realize that DH has his work cut out for him the next week or so while we transition. There's no way I can try to rock him to sleep, he'll just fight it longer waiting to nurse.

* I tried on my pre-pregnancy jeans today and they fit!!  Hooray!!!

*Here's my true confession - I wore my maternity jeans to work today anyways.

*FIL was in a bad car accident this past Sunday and he is still in the hospital (they had to cut him out of the car and he broke his femur so he had surgery to put a rod in his leg) and dh is contemplating going to visit him (4 hours away).  I feel bad bc if he goes my parents will come down to help me bc I really don't think I could handle these two 24/7 does that make me a bad mom?  I hope not.

*I hate solids.  I have no idea how much to feed them?  Seriously it shouldn't be that hard but I have no idea how much of a pancake they should eat or even what I should be feeding them.  I am looking forward to our pedi appointment next week so hopefully she can give me a "solids for dummies" tutorial.

*Ben has started crossing his eyes (really only when tired) but it worries me about his future.

*I hate the unknown when it comes to Ben it seriously gives me panic attacks.

1. if that makes you a bad mom then I'm in trouble. I always get reinforcements to come help with my 1 baby when DH is OOT whether its all night or for a few hours so I can get things done around the house for the next day.

2. Solids are a huge guessing game. I think we all just make it up as we go. Our ped never gave any great advice about when/how much to feed. Any time I'd ask at an appt or over the phone, they basically would say if he's hungry then feed him. When I questioned if i was giving him too much (he was eating WAY more than other babies his age) they said nah, he looks fine. I'm convinced its a guessing game for them too, there was obviously no science behind the answers they gave me.

*I'm frustrated with my ob/gyn or at least her nurse.  I called now a month ago to see about switching my bcp because I'm having all sort of side effects with the one I'm on.  She nixed the one I wanted and wanted to put me on Nuvaring, but wanted to wait for my monthly hcg to make sure my levels are still at zero. Ok, fine.  I did my draw a month ago and they still haven't called it in, or gotten in contact with me. I'd almost leave, but I feel since I'm still in the middle of this dumb partial molar pregnancy mess and will continue having draws until April, I need to wait it out.  I do love her though but this makes me cranky.

*Because they are not participating with me the way I want, I went ahead and refilled my ortho evra rx, I switched because I was being cheap and the patch gave me a small welt/hive where the patch was, but at this point even that would be better than what I'm on right now. 

* I think I may finally be doing my radioactive iodine for my thyroid cancer treatment.  I will be quarantined from DH, Lewie and Evie for three days, in a way I'm looking forward to a break, but I know I'm not going to enjoy it once it's here.
