DD, age 2
Nails - I have more energy, so I’m getting more done. Plus I started doing prenatal yoga again.
Fails - still nauseous, tho from the iron in my prenatal vitamin instead of morning sickness.
Rant/Rave/Dear Diary:
I don’t know if it’s just this toddler phase or if it’s my lack of patience since I’m pregnant, but I’m struggling with how difficult DD is becoming to manage. She’s figuring out how to assert her independence and it just makes formerly easy activities much more stressful. She was such an easy baby, so I really feel like this is my first big parenting struggle.
Also - we need to get her potty trained before the twins arrive, and I’m pretty sure she’s ready, but I’m still dreading it.
GTKY: how do you like your coffee/tea?
Coffee with a bit of half & half. Really depends on the kind of tea...sometimes black, sometimes with a splash of milk.
Fails: Really tough working parent week with DD being sick and getting her front tooth out and me constantly needing to be out of work to deal with it all
Nails: We survived
TTC #1 5/13 BFP #3 5/2/14 DD born 1/19/15
NTNP #2 8/17 BFP 12/13/18 ED 8/21/19
@aecm Independent toddlers are tough, mine will throw a fit because he wants to do something but can't figure it out (like button a button) and won't let me help him. As you can see from my fail I am still struggling with it. Also still struggling with potty training, some days he does great, and some days he won't go anywhere near the bathroom. We just had his 3yo check-up today and the doctor said it's perfectly normal, and we just need to be patient... Good luck!!
@EmilyA724 I saw the dental story in Why I'm crying, that sounds really tough. Hugs!
16 weeks, dill pickle
Will be 2 in May
Nail: Toddler cooperated and I got to work on time this morning
Fail: My toddler had a rough weekend between two year molars coming through, falling down a lot, running into everything, not following directions, and of course day light savings time, I was glad to send him to daycare today for a little break.
Rant: I think I am getting chloasma/mask of pregnancy on my face! I thought it was maybe skin irritation, but on closer look it just looks like a darj spot. I never had this with my first pregnancy!
Coffee: In the summer I LOVE cold brew, but there's nothing like a hot coffee in the winter with cream and sugar.
Will be 2.5 next week
Nail: Got all the bathrooms cleaned last weekend. Felt good.
Fail: Daylight savings.. very late to work today.
Rant: My anatomy scan is scheduled for this Friday and I am getting very impatient.
