Morning. I am stressing this morning. Was told to bring in a dessert loaf from the store (lemon, marble etc) but from a nut free facility. Apparently none exist. I called all the stores and no options. Now I have to show up with nothing. Also we have been voluntold that we are doing the ALS ice bucket challenge today. I guess I didn't get away from it after all.
So sometimes in motn I'm like a zombie and have no clue what's going on around me. I'll read TB and be so confused. Last night I felt like I was loosing it. Can someone fill me in on what I missed with the %?
I don't want to start a different thread for this, but Oliver is having his tongue-tie clipped today. Very minor, but seeing him here is hard. Makes me think of our mamas who are constantly at the hospital. Love you guys.
Hello girls! Another rough night in this house. I wish Scarlett would sleep at night. Why is it that my little guy STTN but my 3 yo is up every single night. For hours at a time. I'm so so so tired and frustrated!!
@muirmaid good luck!!! That sounds exciting and awful all at the same time!
Eli is feeling better so we're back to daycare today. It's another long night of dance classes after daycare and DH comes home tonight after being gone all week for work. Tomorrow we are leaving for a family reunion/camping weekend. I'm so excited but have so much to do tomorrow before we go. Hopefully I can get some of it done today!
@lizabethann06 I was wondering how your night went. That's so sad! Poor sweet Brynne. We had HFM in April and it was hell. Hoping she starts to feel better soon!
@arlingirl FX everything goes quickly and smoothly!
I am currently sitting in the car outside the pedi office. I need to pick up the kids' health forms, but it is down pouring, so it looks like I'll be spending a few more minutes bumping and drinking coffee in the car. Hands down the most relaxing part of my week

HFM strikes again... I was home yesterday, DH is home today. This is definitely her worst case yet. She actually slept OK until 5:30 when she woke up very upset and in pain. Poor baby, I hope DH and T are able to somewhat enjoy this lazy rainy day.
ETA: @lizabethann06: solidarity. I hope poor Brynne feels better soon!

@lizabethann06 the first couple of nights of HFM were the worst part. Daytime was nothing like the night time. Big hugs to your little sickie. I hope she feels better soon.
@mermomo5 Go Cal! I'm so anxious for P to get there. I know he's close and I just need to be patient.
He will honestly it happened overnight. He wouldn't even walk holding our hands, he would immediately sit down. Go P..
Yeah, that's how P has been with all of the gross motor stuff. He doesn't do it and then bam! He will cruise along the furniture, walls, etc all day long and push his toys around while walking, but if we try to get him to walk while holding his hands or by himself, he sits. Maybe I should just let him be and he'll do it.
@KikiCohen The pt had to finally tell me that he has his own agenda. I guess it was her nice way of saying calm down. Cal has absolutely done every motor skill on his own terms. He won't do something one day and then the next it's like he's been doing it forever.
@lizabethann06@martyn17 Poor Brynne and Tess. Get well soon, pretty ladies! HFM is making the rounds in our play group again, so I am watching Meredith like a hawk.
Last night, DH surprised me with an impromptu date night after I put Mer to bed: chilled bottle of wine, rousing card game, amazing sex, and asleep by 9:30. :x
Wonder weeks - have we discussed them recently? Are they the reason for all of the party babies? This mama is done partied out and ready for a full night's sleep. Which I will get this weekend because I am visiting a friend of mine - GIRLS' WEEKEND! My first E-free nights since she was born. I am super excited. But also feel bad because if she doesn't go back to STN, DH will have to fend for himself.
The past couple days I have been hit with some major guilt. It's hitting home that this baby is coming soon, and I wish I had more time with just C. He is just an amazing kid, and at such a great age. I never worried a out this until now, but I am afraid I am going to miss things.

At the end of my pregnancy, I remember laying in bed weekends with my husband, and feeling sad that I was going to miss having quiet time together. I was scared of the fact that life would never be the same.
And I do miss our quiet time together, but I wouldn't trade our new normal for anything in the world.
I know what you are feeling is different, but I think its normal at the end of a pregnancy to hold on tight to your old normal and be a little apprehensive about this new person taking over your world.
C is going to be an amazing big brother, and those sibling snuggles are going to be everything.

Another thing. Last night we got into bed and DH turns to me and says, "do you think C is starving?" WTF?! No. Apparently because he doesn't always eat a perfectly balanced meal, DH thinks that C doesn't eat enough calories in a day, and specifically he thinks he doesn't eat enough protein. He has some picky meals where he won't eat much, but seriously most of this time he eats as much as I do.
@mrshudson618 I went through the same emotions before I had lo#2. I felt like I was cheating lo#1 out of time spent with me and that she was going to resent having a little sister. I still feel this was sometimes, it's hard to balance two but they're so young they won't remember and won't know any different.
So sorry for all the sick babes. I think lo#1 may be starting to get sick. She's been sneezing and coughing. I hope not. She's also been teething with the canines forever. She was up three times last night when she normally sttn. Hope this passes quickly.
I just found DD crouched on top of DH's guitar case wailing because she didn't know how to get off... Lol poor thing. It's like she has forgotten how to come down a step even though she gets off the couch with no problems. She's been doing this wailing on the bottom step thing too. Looks like we need another stair lesson...
@gutsymama I know you haven't posted in here yet but I'm thinking of you and little Luke today.
@mrshudson618 it's totally normal to feel that way and I won't tell you not to worry because that seems condescending or something. However, from what I've found and it's just my experience, you are not going to lack in one on one time with either of your kids. I know it feels like that now because how can you possibly give them both the attention they deserve but somehow you do. Somehow your days stretch just enough. Somehow your heart grows by more than enough. You are going to find a way to be exactly what each of your littles need. It's one of the miracles of motherhood I think.
Re: Spam: The final frontier
But my Bump app is finally working again (reinstalled it), so I can rejoin things for real!
Today is a work from home day. But before that Im going for a run, have to get lo to dc and go to the doctors with DH for our physicals.
I'm laying in bed, trying to convince myself that my babbling child is truly happy in his crib. Doesn't he know what a vacation day means?

@fabk that's frustrating. Hopefully it's NBD.
