I'm laying here, trying to sleep and my belly is pulsing. It won't stop and it feels so weird. Like muscle spasms. Are these the phantom kicks everyone talks about? I don't like this. (
So my niece is 11. She just recently got a fb behind her moms back but of course her mom found out. She let her keep it but some of things she posts cracks me up. So DHS birthday was on Tuesday and a friend told hime happy birthday to the man in wisconsin, where they push cows over for fun. And this is her response. Hahaha. Her step dad raises cattle and they are farmers.
I just finally caught up on Wednesday spam. @EagleWife (hey, I can tag again!), not sure, but I've had that a few times and it's such a strange sensation. Mine is usually brief though- super weird to have it keep happening!
It's been over five minutes straight, @Spartanmomma. It like an itch, tickle, and cramp mixed into one. Oddness. And yay for catching up and tagging!
Goodmorning ladies. Last night dh&i went to see a play. It was good but we didn't get in until midnight and I'm up already. Blah. One of these days I'll sleep past 5.
Good morning! Long day yesterday filled with job interviews and cake baking, and an even longer one today filled with grocery shopping and food prep. T minus 44 hours until LO turns one and T minus 53 hours to his party!
Sounds like my day! DH and E just left and I'm dragging my feet because I have a full house to clean and I have to finish painting my living room - all in preparation of E's party on Sunday. Tomorrow will be the grocery shopping. Time to make some coffee!
E has finally started to say, "Mama." But it's only when she's mad, tired and upset and it's more like, "Mum, mum, mum, mum, mum, mum..." I'll take it!
Good morning. I think. Mh and I had another small argument last night. He was mad I didn't put something of mine away and asked why I don't pick up after myself. My response? Because I am too busy picking up after him, Alex and Remy. )
It is our anniversary today and we are going out for dinner!! Yay! Even if it means the ILs go with us.
My daughter is dealing with a case of pink eye that started yesterday. Now my bil is going to the doctor to get checked out because he is coming down with it. Hopefully E doesn't get it.
On a good note my husband is off for the next 10 days. I'm sure he will be running out of the house screaming everyday for a break when I get home from work. ~X(
@dinomama13 I have friends who love those necklaces, but I am not convinced it's much more than placebo effect. But they are pretty cute. :-) Ibuprofen works the best for me to help with teething.
I have not been able to keep up in the past week with J13, we drove to Nashville for a family reunion, and 12 hours in a car with an almost one year old and a 3 year old went surprisingly well! Nashville was a cool place to visit, and the kiddos got to meet lots of cousins they hadn't met before, Ian was the youngest and the star of the show. He got lots of snacks and cuddles from everyone, so it was a good time. I have a pretty awesome extended family.
Speaking of Sisqo, I thought you would all like to know that in high school my friends and I did our report on The Scarlet Letter as a music video to "The Thong Song," rewritten.

My husband is driving me nuts. He is a slob, sometimes I'd rather have him working out of town then my house actually stays clean. I feel like all I do is nag at him and I don't like it. We've been together for 10 years you'd think he'd know by now what drives me mad. Or maybe I just need to let go of having a clean house? I don't know, but AF is here and I am feeling extra on edge lately.
So I can't remember when I had my period last and am kind of freaking out that I'm late. I am avoiding taking a test because I'm afraid the result might be positive. This would not be a great thing because although I would like another (I think) DH thinks he is done. Also now is not a great time for us (financially and we would prefer more space between). So yes we use protection but have 'played with fire' a few times.

not meant to offend anyone and I hope all those currently trying have luck soon! and congratulations to those already expecting!
@LadyBlue07 I hate the whole "balance visits" thing. It's ridiculous. My ILs are starting up that road as well. They've never met J though, we can't afford to travel but the door swings both ways! My family actually travels to come see him, why can't they do the same? We skype with them once a week so "technically" they see him more I guess. It's a pain. On another note, where in Texas are you coming to? Texas bumpie GTG!
Yeah, I was also kinda skeptical about the necklace. But hey, if it works it works! If it doesn't then at least he'll look cute in it Teeth numbers 7 & 8 are a pain in me arse right now.
Good morning!! Been working and on calls since about 7:15 and coming up for a little breather!
@theblairwitch01 Nikita and Jadzia are so adorable!! Love that dress and bow!
The thrush that Vinny has does not seem to be going away and we are almost out of medicine and it hasn't even been 14 days yet. I need to call and see if I can get a refill. We have our appointment at the ENT tomorrow to look at the possibility of getting tubes. I need to fill out that paper work.
I got a bunch of stuff from Amazon yesterday for his party and these boxes I ordered are way smaller than I thought they would be...now need to figure out what to do with them.
Getting through today is gonna be tough because I am working at home now then a blood draw at 11am then hopefully pick up new script and head to Maryland for an afternoon meeting and then down to Bethesda for dinner meeting and then home. I am hoping if there is little traffic and I manage my time well there will be ample time to get some work done in between meetings.
@bluelady07 That is soo annoying, My ILs do that with my SIL and BIL. It is completely annoying and my ILs are the ones that live in the same state as all of us!! Why do people have to be annoying? You don't need to keep count, this isn't a game!
It was so humid last night. Ugh. Feli woke up at 3, standing upright in her crib. Brought her to bed, where she proceeded to doze fitfully, always needing to be in some kind of (sticky) contact with me. Trying to put her in her crib was not met with success. Finally we got her down with a bottle, after which she slept on me for the rest of the night (4-7).
I am SO tired. But at the same time, that feeling of having a sleeping baby on you? *melting*
@LadyBlue07 Big hugs. I swear when we are all the dreaded ILs we won't act like that. My ILs do the same. They see Alex at least once a week. Yet I only go to my parents once every two months. MIL makes a big to do about it every freaking time. I left A for the first time ever last week with my mom. Now MIL wants to babysit for him tonight. She says its so we can go out for our anniversary by ourselves but its not. Its because I let my mom babysit and she is jealous. [-X
Was throwing Feli up in the air to make her squeal. She slammed her forehead against my mouth on the way down. Feli? Happy as can be. I, however, am sporting a very fetching fat lip.
@theblairwitch01 Your girls are beautiful!
I just ordered a baltic amber teething necklace for Jae. I pray to God it helps! What the consensus here on them?
We've had one for a couple months now. I was really optimistic at first but now I don't really believe it does anything. I don't know, it's really hard to say. I know so many people who swear by them. But Lillie has also had so many ear infections and illness and then teething off and on, so it's really hard to say what is bothering her.

So today I can't even stand myself. On a scale of 0-10, my irritation level is a 10. I'm beyond overwhelmed, and I'm snapping and frustrated over the littlest things I have no idea why I didn't tell MH to shove it and just gotten a house cleaner for this weekend's party despite his objection. He, my mom, and the kids create messes everywhere and rarely pick them up. I can no longer handle being the only one managing the house inside (lately MH is obsessed with outdoor projects... weeks and weeks worth). My average work day lately has been 12 hours at the office plus 4 hours at home after the kids are in bed, I go to bed around 1-130 and wake up by 645 (plus a wake up at 445 with LO, though MH helps hugely here), and I just can't keep up. I'm actually making an appt for next week to discuss my anxiety. Whether it's internal, or due to extraneous stresses, I can no longer manage it and be a good mom, wife, and employee.
Vent over. And truly, I know my mom and MH are awesome, which just reflects how bad my anxiety and irritability are given how annoyed I am by them
@spartanmomma - I could have written all of this and know exactly how you feel. HUGE Hugs. Glad you made an appointment and hope that it helps with your anxiety.
I sent out my J13 secret birthday box yesterday and I am soooo excited for them to get it!!
Also, I feel like I'm dying. I didn't feel like this at all with my first pregnancy. I have been having waves of nausea, my hormones are crazy (and emotions are all over the place), my head is killing me, and my nose is stuffed up. I just want to curl up in a ball and sleep but it's the last week of my semester and I have a ton of homework to catch up on. Meh.

@COmama1314, I can't believe your baby is almost here! I'm so excited for you!
MIL came down last night and spent the night. She asked that our nanny not come until 1:00 so that she can babysit DS this morning. I explained his typical routine to her including how he puts up a big fight for naps. She thinks we simply just need to feed him before he goes down and that he must not be tired or otherwise he'd go right to sleep. Can't wait to see how that works out for her. ) Although actually, this is going to end up sucking for me because I'll probably have to get him down to sleep myself when I should be working.
