Random thoughts. Yours?

Top of my list is that our daughter has her 3rd set of needles today. Hopefully she reacts as minimally as the other times. I am glad she'll be protected from whooping cough as there've been many cases in our province lately.  

My husband has had the week off. I forgot how much more relaxed he is when he doesn't have work hanging over him.

I'm wondering if A will ever say "dada" -- I want her to say it

  • My MIL is coming to visit next month and I want to be back to my pp weight before then. When she was here in February she asked me if I was wearing maternity pants. When I said no, she said "Well, are those just really stretchy then?" It p!ssed me off.

    As soon as I get the house clean it is dirty again, and it has nothing to do with LO. It is because of DH and the dogs...and me.

    Ohhhh.... I would have killed my MIL!!!  My random thought is that IDK why the MIL/daughter in law relationship must be so hard to navigate.  I am really having a hard time dealing with mine right now, and I wish that she would just be nice to my little one and me.

  • Sometimes I really hate not working. Mostly bc I feel like I don't have my own money. I'm buying dh his anniversary present, but using our bank account, which is all money he's made over the past year of working his butt off without much input from my end. I feel like he's buying his own gift and I hate it.

    I am with ya on the money thing. I have been working since I was 14, and always could buy myself things that I wanted. Now that I am a SAHM, I feel like I can't buy anything, and I feel like I am DH's employee somehow. I am not used to this feeling at all.

    When I stopped working (shortly before we were married) I had a fair amount of money saved up. We decided I would invest most of it (TFSAs etc) but that I'd keep a chunk for gifts. My "gift" account is growing thin. I'm not looking forward to using *our* money to buy his gifts. Maybe I could make some very good stock choices with the last of *my* cash!

  • My bff just found out she's having a girl, I'm so excited! But she also found out she has low fluid surrounding the baby so I'm praying it's not too bad.
    DS decided to wake every 2 hours last night and refused to go back to sleep unless he nursed, it was terrible. So today I'm extra exhausted from being pregnant and being up all night!

  • We leave for Denver bright and early tomorrow morning and it is hitting me how much I have to do to get myself and E ready to go stay at my parents.  I'm also realizing how hard it is going to be to leave him.  As the trip has gotten closer, it has become more real - before I was thinking - ahh, a few nights to sleep in, hang out with old friends and not worry about E.  Now that it is almost here, I'm realizing it is going to be very hard to not spend the entire time worrying or thinking about him.  Thankfully he is staying with my parents/nanny, they are the only people I would want to watch him.

    I took the afternoon off to get us all ready for the trip, but I think I might start my time off with a nap (or mani/pedi, can't decide).

  • We're going out of town this weekend for four days for our anniversary (seven years!!).  We're driving to his family's mountain cabin.  This is fourth time we've gone up there with DS, but the first time that he's not in his infant carrier.  I'm a little nervous about the middle of the night transition into the cabin. 
  • It stormed all night last night. We finally got DS to an earlier bedtime and he's sleeping 11 hrs straight through. Unfortunately the storms scare my dog and she woke me up like 4 times last night. Guess both of my "babies" like to keep me from sleeping!

  • The only thing on my mind this week is waiting for my U/S on Friday. It will either be amazing to see baby's heartbeat and just have my due date moved back 2 weeks, or else it will be a very very sad day.

    Thank you. My bloodwork from last Friday still showed my betas increasing like they should, so I guess at this point the odds are higher that it will be good news :)

    Same here, mine is August 22nd and it's all I can think about.  It looks like I am getting a bump but I also have a little extra pudge on my belly so I may just be imagining it.  Hope all goes well for you.

  • I'm panicking because I hugged a crying coworker today before finding out she has a staph infection on her skin. Freaking out I got it and will pass to DS.

    I'm in a funk at work and need to find motivation.

    Wish I could shower at night but instead spend every last second with DS and DH and come to work with wet hair instead. It makes me feel like I smell when I shower at night too even tho DH swears its all in my head.

    Happy Anniversary! My tip for the night transition is to make sure you have a diaper and bottle/boob ready to go so as soon as you get LO in the house (where hopefully his sleeping arrangements are ready, you can change and feed with minimum awake time. It works really well any time we travel with our LOs and they usually go back down within a few minutes.

    I doubt you are imagining it. I am so bloated I've stopped wearing a belt and am using my beband to hold up my pants instead because the belt hurts. This and I'm only like 6 weeks. I'm not changing my ticker until Friday when I know for sure though :P I just can't bring myself to do it until we see that heartbeat!!

  • I have serious baby fever with all the pregnant mamas on this board! I wish DH & I were in a position to try for another one now, but we have a few hurdles to get through first. I am super excited to "see" all the newborns later this year/in 2013!

     

    I often wonder WTF is wrong with my iPhone's spelling correction. It will replace words that are clearly used/spelled correctly with uncommon words that do not make sense in the given context (for instance: suggesting "Mathis" in place of "This").

  • I didn't know this round of needles was only 1 needle. What a nice surprise.

    I received 2 needles and am now up to date for Mmr, tetanus, pertussis and diptheria.

    Here's to hoping neither of us gets a fever.

    Stats: 21 lbs and 28 inches

    Thanks... good tip.  I usually pump on the way up the mountain, but maybe I won't and will just nurse DS instead.  Such a sacrifice that will be.  :)
