Ugh Tuesday
Not feeling all the great this morning...something is up with my stomach...blah. On a positive note I'm working from home today so at least I didn't have to get ready this morning.
Callie woke up twice last night so I'm also a little tired so that probably doesn't help how I'm feeling. She wasn't pissed, she was just awake and talking haha. She went back to sleep though so thank God for that. ALSO, her belly button started to heal yesterday!!! It looks like the infection is clearing up so hopefully it will be all healed up by the end of the week! Yay!!
Last night we went to CrossFit and watched the Bachelor...holy shit show lol.
Callie ate A TON yesterday too...probably like 5 more ounces than normal. So when I tried to feed her dinner, she was like, "NOPE!". She ate a pretty good meal though right before bed.
Today it's snowing so I plan to stay inside. I may go to CrossFit depending on how the weather looks. And....her Easter basket came in and I'm obsessed with it:

Re: Ugh Tuesday
I'm back at work today. Boo. I have no idea how much snow we got because it was so windy. I'm guessing like 8"? I ordered new boots last night and I am praying they fit my giant calves:
That's about it for me. H is working every night this week. Boo. We also were 1 card short on the thank you notes we ordered so now I have to buy another package just for 1 more card. Ugh.
I'm kind of excited for Friday because all of the bosses are going to be gone, so me and a few of the girls at the office are thinking of throwing a little Valentines party/potluck.
@southernpeach89 - I love the basket! How cute! Glad Callie is getting better. And I totally agree about The Bachelor. I told H last night that it seems like there have been a lot of "villians" this season. Although I was honestly really shocked last night. Wtf.
@jenjen047 - Cute boots! I would totally just go buy one individual thank you note. Is anyone really going to notice that they don't all match?
@beachyone15 The potluck sounds like it will be fun! I love it when my boss isn't at work lol...I'm so mean.
@jenjen047 - I have giant calves too...boots generally don't fit me. I hope these ones work out for you, they are cute!
@beachyone15 - The potluck sounds like fun!
@cocobellaf - At what point are you supposed to go into the hospital (if at all)? I've never had sickness like you are experiencing but do they need to give you fluids? Huge hugs to you, I'm so sorry you are experiencing this.
--------------------------
I'm feeling so much better today. I was exhausted yesterday from lack of sleep so H and I went to bed early last night and just crashed. My left leg keeps going completely numb randomly too for some reason (probably pregnancy related) so I took it easy last night. H made supper last night too (and took the dog out and shoveled...I'm rather grateful for him right now if you can't tell).
The daycares yesterday were hit and miss. I think we did find two we like so that is good. One of them we won't find out if we get a spot until early July (after baby arrives)!!! That is insane to me. We are putting ourselves on the list (with a non-refundable deposit too) and still won't know until July. Sigh. We found one with open spots thankfully that we think would work for us too last night so we are putting ourselves on that list too. The one I wanted to tour still has zero availability for Sept when I'm returning to work....she was sort of snooty about it too so that one is out. I think we can live with the two options we have though and hopefully one of them works out for us in the end.
I'm also trying to get into a baby birthing class. They are 6 weeks long and one starts next week. That seems early to me to take it now (I'll be almost 24 weeks when it starts) but the next one isn't until much later and I'll be nearly due by the time that one is over so I don't think that will work.
@southernpeach89 - did you take a class (classes)? Which one? When in your pregnancy did you take one? We are thinking basic childbirth class (with hospital tour) (both of us), infant CPR class (both of us) and a breast feeding class (me). Thoughts?
@beachyone15 I didn't get to say it yesterday but I lurked this morning and I absolutely adore your new table! It is freaking gorgeous! Where did you buy it from?
@CocoBellaF
@jenjen047 I adore those boots!!!
I'm baaccccccckkkkkkkk!!! I wish I wasn't though. Florida was so much fun and it was so nice to not have to think about work or responsibilities for a couple of days. We had a wonderful time with my great aunt and uncle and I was so glad we were able to be there to celebrate their 46th wedding anniversary and my great uncle's 80th birthday. It was truly special.
Now I have about a gazillion emails to get through, respond to, take action items on, etc. Ugh. Why is coming back to work so freaking hard anyway? Oh and btw it's snowing here this morning and school isn't even cancelled! It's so ironic since two weeks ago, school was cancelled for a day and a half because of the POSSIBILITY of snow.
Requisite vacation selfie while at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino:
@labro - Thanks! We got the table from Direct Buy (H's parents have a membership). We thought it was so unique that we just had to have it! Glad you had fun in Florida. Did you do any sight-seeing?
@cocobellaf - Honestly, that sounds terrible. Hugs to you.
@labro - Welcome back!!!! I feel like going on vacation and coming back to a million emails negates the vacation time but I'm glad you got away nonetheless. And you look so pretty in that selfie.
I've been gone the last few days for no other reason than I don't have much to talk about lately.
I learned a few days ago that BF completely neglected to tell me his brother qualified for Junior Olympics in December! I found out when he casually mentioned that he'll be in Ohio for Valentine's day. Naturally I said what the fuck. He thought he told me and now he's like "but I have tons of ideas on how I'll be back for Valentines Day!" but basically if he goes I don't want him to race back to NY to take me to dinner, that's just silly. So I am super annoyed but we will just have to see what he comes up with.
I've got this family I'm teaching tonight and I am just not sure about this dog. Last week the owner attempted to contradict everything I say, and I suspect the dog has temperamental issues that I am not experienced enough to deal with. He's only six months old. She would say things like "I don't want him nipping my kids he's got to stop that" and then I would say "Well, since he's a six month old German Shepherd you don't really have a training issue, it's more about managing him and supervising him around the kids" and then she would be like "But that's not always possible!" and every solution I provided ("well he has a crate, he can be in there if you can't watch him") she would have an answer as to why she can't do that. All excuses. But I can handle all that, what I can't handle is that the dog won't let me near him and is so anxious he won't participate in the exercises I'm trying to teach. I gave him his space and wound up talking the whole time last week, and he still got really snappy with me, nipping my hands and arms a lot if I got too close. Like he was really insecure about what he was doing. I'll probably refer them out tonight if it goes as badly as last week.
@labro you look so pretty!
@minskat30 I don't have anything to add about daycare/classes but just wanted to say good luck finding the ones that fit!
@beachyone15 No, not really. They live near Boca Raton which is a beach-side community where a TON of uber rich people and celebrities have homes so we'd see these huge fancy mansions on the beach or the canals while we were out driving around. We walked on the beach a couple of times, and we went to the casino (blah, I don't enjoy gambling but my uncle does, plus the place was filled with cigarette smoke), but mostly we spent time with my aunt and uncle. He's 80 and not in the best health so we were just trying to spend as much time with him as we can.
@labro - I am also jealous of that nice glow you have!! I'd love to enjoy some sunshine! I'm glad you had a good time.
@minskat30 - Good luck with the day care search! Are you going back to work full time or WFH at all?
@labro - Glad you had a good time! Gorgeous pic of you and H.
@untouchablets - Ugh that dog sounds challenging. Congrats to BF's brother! What sport did he qualify for?
@cocobellaF I am so so so sorry that you are still feeling like this! Also, didn't know spotting was normal- I feel like I'd freak out.
@minskat30 Good luck with the day cares, I can't imagine how stressful that is!
@labro, Welcome back, glad you had a good time in Florida. Every time I get back from a vacation I feel like I need another one since I have so much work to catch up on!
Not much going on today, just another boring Tuesday.
ETA: nevermind, just saw your post! Fencing is so fun to watch!
@CocoBellaF - Wait, what?!? You are NOT fat, you do NOT look fat (I think you look beautiful) and you are doing what you need to do to take care of your baby. You need to be kind to yourself....we both need to be kind to ourselves. I know how you are feeling, truly...I'm weighing myself this week just so I can report the weight gain to the doctor next week and make sure I don't have something weird going on but after that I think I'm throwing the scale out for the rest of this pregnancy (last week I was 3+ lb up, the week before 2+, the week before 2+, etc., etc. since you get the idea). It is too fucking stressful to deal with working full time, managing a household with pets, having a somewhat successful marriage and feeling like your body is being taken over completely and you aren't "you" anymore to deal with weight too. Being pregnant is awesome and wonderful and all that jazz but it is stressful and overwhelming and honestly feels like an out-of-body experience sometimes. Loosing your sense of autonomy is hard (at least it has been for me)....I feel like I'm not "me" half the time emotionally and physically. In addition to all that, you have this terrible all-day sickness ... you can only take so much. Can you do something nice for yourself? I'm thinking a massage or your hair done or something you don't normally do? Let me know if you need someone to make a "do something nice for yourself" once a week/every other week pact with.
@jenjen047 CUTE boots!
@beachyone15 A Valentine's potluck sounds awesome!
@CocoBellaF Ugh, I am so sorry that you've had so much nausea with this pregnancy. *hugs* I wish it would stop immediately!
@minskat30 Ugh, I'm sorry the search for a daycare has been so hectic and stressful. It sounds like you have two great options though, and I'm sure one will work out for you. I can't believe how soon baby minskat will be here!
@labro Florida sounds like so much fun! I'm glad you guys were there for such a special occasion. I'm dying at school and work not being cancelled when there's actual snow! Gotta love the South.
@untouchablets That is so awesome about your BF's brother! Wow!

Last night was really fun. @audrewuh came over around 6, and we had a little adventure trying to find the wine corkscrew. Apparently H packed it over the weekend. We tried a few alternative methods to open the bottle-- a key, the blade of a scissor, putting it in a dress shoe and banging it against the wall... and then we finally decided to just shove the cork into the bottle. @audrewuh used a sharpie, and within a few seconds we had wine. Huzzah!
H got home around 8 and made us spaghetti, and she and I worked on some sewing projects until around 11. I was wired and couldn't sleep until 1, so I'm a little sluggish today.
Work was so unbelievably crazy yesterday. I didn't even get a chance to eat my lunch! It's starting to look like a similar day today. I may have to take tomorrow off to pack. I thought this week would be slow enough that I could work from home and pack a bit in shifts while at home tomorrow, but based on yesterday and the emails currently piling into my mailbox, I don't think that will happen. Maybe I'll do a half day tomorrow. Hmmm...
