TGIF! What is everyone up to this weekend? Any fun plans?
Re: Weekend Randoms, 7/16-7/18
@jessier19 Summer time pools are the aren't they? Not only because they get out an enormous amount of child energy but it always seems to create these amazing happy memories. We love ours!
We are headed to that swim meet tomorrow. DD is only 5 but they let her little swimmer group do a special kick board race in between the actual bigger kids races. Then hopefully it'll be a fun day at the pool. Kids always sleep so well after a pool day, I love it!
We have a busy-ish weekend planned.
I'm taking a half day today to get a lunch, massage, and a manicure with my bff. We have both been TTC for a while and commiserating about it .....TW.....
She had a loss a couple of weeks ago and ended up in the hospital with an infection. I got my BFP the day after that so the timing to share the news with her literally could not be worse.....
She already knows and is ok (i think), but i'll be glad to get some time to hang out and relax without work and kids. just wish i could have a drink!
tomorrow we have a kiddo bday party. 4 yr old? maybe 5? idk. Sunday the in laws are coming and MH and i will go out for dinner!
Happy weekend everyone!
@jessier19 have fun sharing the news! That is so exciting. And your pool day sounds fun too.
We are headed out of town for my sister's wedding tomorrow. I'm super excited but also stressed beyond belief. I also tried my dress on last night and it is so tight (and not in a good way). I've definitely gained weight since I got it fitted last month. The pregnancy bloat is sooo real.
@jlbaker08 happy birthday!! Hope you have a wonderful weekend celebrating!
@Lcardinal04 I love the kickboard race for the little swimmers!! My siblings and I all swam growing up, and I remember my five-year-old sister having to race a 25 freestyle and she was not into it. Kickboard race would have been much more her speed at that age.
@morgantu hope you have a great day with your friend!
@kgg2241 hope everything at the wedding goes off without a hitch and that you can relax and enjoy the weekend!
Big weekend plans over here involve moving to a bigger apartment! Which, by Monday, will be great (I'll soon be transitioning into a job that has me working from home a few days a week more permanently, and we will definitely want the extra bedroom come spring), but I wouldn't necessarily call it the most fun weekend
@morgantu Oof, that’s so tough. I’m sorry to hear about what your friend had to go through. I hope you two have a relaxing day.
@kgg2241 I hope you have lots of fun at the wedding!
We finally got some guidance at work on our return to office. Legal dept will head back starting in Oct and the expectation is that by January we’re spending a minimum of 3 days in the office a week. And they said we’ll have 2 remote work days/week going forward. It’s what I expected but I’m so curious how that will feel. I’ve gotten so used to working from home, I’m anxious about going back to office and figuring out schedules. And it kinda cracks me up that we went home due to Covid when I was midway through 2nd trimester with my son and now I’ll be going back to the office at a similar point in this pregnancy. I know folks will be thinking, “wait, wasn’t she pregnant last time I saw her? “ So weird!
We have a super busy weekend planned. My husband's company picnic tomorrow (kind of hoping it gets rained out) and then a Jack and Jill in the evening. Sunday is dedicated to working on our fixer-upper! My DH will be putting up the ceilings while I prep everything for painting.
@kgg2241 urg yes bloat! I've been working SO hard to lose weight. And I feel like a blob again haha.
It doesn't help that I'm STARVING all the time!
Does anyone have any ideas for easy, handy, healthy snacks that I can keep on hand?
I didn't have this problem last time. I had food aversions like crazy. Now I feel like an empty pit.
We can't have egg or peanut in the house.
I also can't eat pineapple, mushrooms or walnut or seafood.
Of course I'm doing fruit, and veggies cut up. But I'm drawing a blank for other healthy snacks! (I've also done cheese and crackers with toasted pecans and dates, which was delicious and satisfying, but SO high calorie..)
Long story short, he basically didn't go to sleep until after 4 am (there was a 2 hour stint before midnight that he did sleep poorly).
Now I don't know what to do. He slept until 9.
Normally he's up 6:15-7:15.
Nap is usually 12:20
I can't push nap later because he definitely won't sleep tonight.
But he is certainly not going to nap on time today.
Do I just skip nap all together?
We were SUPPOSED to go across the city to see my parents and go swimming this morning. But obviously that didn't happen.
Do I take him there for the whole day now? And risk him still WANTING a nap, and not being able to have one?
I only slept 3 hours. After being awake for 22+ hours. I'm in tears.
And now I'm starving. But I can't eat because the anxiety about tonight being a repeat, is crushing me.
TLDR: sleep regressions suck
I'm trying to get him down for nap...it's been an hour. Every time I try to put him down, he freaks out and starts screaming again. Doesn't bode well for tonight.
@Panaceia I might have to get my husband to book off work tonight.. I hate to do it, but I don't think I can do a second night right now (still struggling with the pregnancy fatigue and insomnia). DS has been miserable all morning. I was hoping to nap if he napped. But I'm about to give up on the nap
I can't imagine such late nights! Kudos mama, you're amazing!!
@goldfishcraker how did last night go? was it any better?
It was a fight to get him to go down, but once he did, he did amazing!
I couldn't fall asleep till 1, because I was convinced he would wake up any minute.
The thunderstorm woke me at 5. But he slept through it.
He screamed for mama at 615, but by the time I peed he was back asleep!🥳
I wasn't able to fall back asleep after the storm (achy body), but we are both in SUCH a better mood today! Thank goodness!
