I just found out that my 70 year old grandma passed last night, so sad. I am so glad we made the long & inconvenient trip to see her on her 70th birthday at the hospital last weekend, and that she got to meet T. She saw all of her family over the last week & she wasn't alone, which is a blessing. Working today is going to be hard.
We have an electric mower. I can't even count the number of times I have almost run over the cord while mowing.

It's 11:30 and I have already eaten all the food I brought to work, breakfast, lunch, and snacks. Oops.
Also I really miss my LO today. We were sleeping so well snuggled up this morning. If I had any leave time left I would have called in and stayed home cuddling.

I am working on a crossword puzzle at work (because 1. My other option is to actually work and 2. I'm that nerdy). One of the clues was "Dinner beverages". For the life of me I couldn't figure out what it was...it was WINES. I couldn't figure it out because those are EVERY meal beverages, duh.

Wow I've missed a lot this week... DD1 finally has a normal temp today (has been staying between 100-103 since Sat afternoon). DD2 has so far managed to not catch it! So grateful for that. Now, to just get DD1 past the whiny/jealous of DD2 stage that popped up while she was sick...
Oh, and DD2 rolled over on Monday! Three times belly -> back. Hasn't rolled over since, even though we try to convince her so her daddy can see it. Stinker.
Fml why are 4 month shots worse than 2 month??? He cried harder and longer, slept for a bit, cried, slept, talked a little bit, then decided he wanted me to stand and walk/bounce him for a half hour straight. No sitting unless I wanted him to all out scream. My arms hurt. He's finally asleep and I'm hoping I'll get to, too.

@Sanibel21 I feel like an asshat for love fitting your post about your Grandma. I'm very sorry for your loss, but it made me happy that she got to meet your LO. Sending all my love your way.

@bunnyfungo hugs! I really think we just need to like make our own mom and baby compound where we all love and help each other until the babes are a little older and the DH's stop being fuck heads.
While the baby was screaming bloody murder (because shots), h was downstairs in the garage smoking. So instead of stopping what he's doing and coming up to check on us (or even just ignoring what was happening would've been better) he starts yelling up to me (like I can hear him or respond over a screaming baby) to see what's going on and ask what I've tried. I really almost stabbed him.
@WisconsinCheese12 it looks like all the fat (cream) separated out and stuck to the sides of the bottle. I've had a couple do that to me back with DS1.
June is in the living room crying in her RnP while I'm in the bathroom pooping. I got nothing but love for you girl, but it's a cold reality that mommy doesn't wanna hold you and poop at the same time. Don't worry though, you're still my #1.
Our plans were to go visit my grandpa (think lake house vaca). That got canceled so I asked if we could go visit my dads (5hr drive one way). He said no because it's too far.
Okay. So I'm like let's go camping? (Clearly I'm going stir crazy and I want some fucking sunshine and time to relax before I go back to work) He says only if I find people to come with. Because camping with just us feels like a wasted weekend. Spending time with me doing nothing is worse than staying home and doing chores. Pissed.
I'm having wine and popcorn for dinner... I'm a sad panda for some of my m14ers... Stop being fuckheads husbands!
Mine is being fine, but I'm seriously about to show my numchuck (spelling!?!) skills to them all
Stopping by to say Hi and that I think I'm going to switch to lurker status for a bit.... With everything going on and not being able to lift Robert/take care of Robert without assistance I'm kinda in a funk and not in the mood for chatting.... DH keeps arranging for babysitters to come to the house for the few instances he can't be with me. It's depressing.
Monday the infected pocket/tunnel thing was 6.9cm deep. Today it was 6.8cm. I have no idea when this will be over.
The downside of having a thriving chunky (aka heavy) boy...
@SomersIsles that breaks my heart. You have been and are so amazingly strong. I think I speak for all of m14 when I say we love you and support you and wish you a quick recovery now that they know what the problem was. *hugs*
I think my child listens to and understands my conversations with his pediatrician. At his 2 month she asked if he was cooing and I told her not really. Later that day he started doing it. Today at his 4 month she asked if he was reaching for and grabbing things. I told her her grabs on to things but doesn't really reach for things he wants yet. Tonight he started reaching for his wubbanub when DH held it out and asked if he wanted it. Stubborn little bugger.
Nice googling, @mrsdahamm! J definitely gets that much sun per week, so no more vitamin D drops for him until it starts getting too cold to go outside. By then I should be able to mix them into purees.
Wait so I refrigerate my breast milk and freeze it a day or so later and then creamy part has stuck to the sides of the bottle. I always shake it hard to get it reincorporated. What should I do instead????
He is 3 in September. Besides that it's not buckled correctly over his chest
My parents had one of those seats in an old van they owned when DD was little. They took her out in it, they were so proud. After a few trips, I looked at it more closely, and their particular seat had height and weight restrictions (as I'm sure most do). DD was over both limits, so I told them she couldn't ride in it anymore. She was only 2 or 3 at the time.
I was really only okay with her riding in it because my parents live in the country and due to dirt roads the speeds are a lot slower than city driving.
Yah I asked my aunt about him riding on/in that and she said the van is over 10 years old and that particular seat was for a different van, they took it out and put it in her van. Just doesn't seem super secure to me. I guess AtLEaST he's in a car seat.... I was one of 4 kids when I was little and we definitely all rode in the back seat which usually meant not buckled. I was the buckle police. If I wasn't there noone wore buckles!
The one my parents had was built-in. It was part of the actual van seat. Just a flap that came down with the straps hidden behind it.
I have no idea what year the van was, but they never bought a new vehicle in their lives.
IS that why the dunkin near my work had a line wrapped AROUND the building and into the street ? I was like WTH I needed my second dup this morning. If I would of knows that I would of left super early !

It's so hard right? When I find myself starving I try and focus on eating more protein. Usually when I do that the cravings for junk that come with sleeplessness lessen. Good luck being back at work. I'm so nervous for it
THIS explains it , I'm like a walking zombie this morning PERHAPS I need to add more protein ! DD thought it would be real awesome to wake up at 3:30, when I have to wake up at 5 anyways... TGIF !!

so like vacuuming but...worse?

@mrsdahamm don't tell me that! I'm not looking forward to the four month shots!
