I have a crazy busy day. I have to pick G up from school early because she has a dentist appointment. Then I have dinner with my family. At some point I have to write Christmas lists because my dad wants them now because he shops before stores get crowded. I have no idea what to ask for for any of us.

We're having issues with our A/C. Again. When H is traveling. Like always. Fortunately, he's on text basis with our A/C guy and was able to coordinate for him to come check it out while I'm at work. The reality is finally sinking in that we're going to have to replace both units. The thought makes me sick, but it gets too damn hot here to not have properly functioning A/C, and fingers crossed new units will help our electric bill too.

Good morning,
Little has picked up the toddler’s cold so sleep has been non existent. We plan to leave Friday so most of our life is already in boxes. Thankfully the big has school this morning. H is going to get the trailer and I have to take L to PT. I should go and clean the kitchen and get the big ready for school. Being a mom is hard. I have already feed both kids, stated a load of laundry, put little down for a nap (seems he wasn’t ready to get up, I feel ya kid) and H is still sleeping. Can I go back to sleep?

I finished most of my homework last night... Plan is to finish it all tonight and enjoy my vacation unplugged!!
But I have a 100.8 temp and going up based on how I'm so chilly... So vacation will be fun. I'll stock up on Advil and Mucinex. Ughhhhh 😭😭😭
I'm mostly cleaned up at work though so.. And my new book by my current fave author is out today! Kindle was delivered to my devices and the physical book is out for delivery 😍

Happy Tuesday everyone!
Work has been so busy lately- I am really missing maternity leave right now!
DS is finally getting over his cold and feeling better, I am so glad! And his teeth have come through on top so I think they are feeling a little better. All 4 top teeth came in at once, he doesn't look quite as much like a baby anymore and it's making me so emotional. Where did the last 7 months go?!

I’m on my 2nd day of working in our other office. It hasn’t been too bad but has thrown a wrench in my very type a schedule. So I’m working through that.
The baby is grumpy because I’m assuming he’s still working through allergies/cold and I have a scratchy throat too. And H had a fire call at 4 am and the dog woke the baby up so I wasn’t thrilled.

pinkcat thanks! No, h didn’t find one but one of h’s condos if becoming vacant at that time so we’re just going there. It’s a little small but we’ll save $$$$ and don’t have to stay there forever. sunfrogger what mucinex can you take while breastfeeding? For some reason I’m my head it drys you up. ETA: baby posted before. I was ready.

Of course the kid woke up as soon as I was about to jump in the shower. I guess I will give the kid a bath and then pass him off to h when he gets home from taking DS1 to school. Uhaul of course doesn’t have the trailer we booked. 🙄 their system is seriously flawed!

This is the last time I will see most of these friends before a move. It’s bitter sweet. I will miss them for sure. I unfortunately only know fake friends where we’re going. 🙁 one already completely ghosted me after her husband offered for us to stay at their house so me and kids wouldn’t have to take the long drive. Ugh

pinkcat were going to Cape Cod! Then to visit family in MA. The new book is "Times Convert" by Deborah Harkness. Got it delivered to my Kindle and hard copy today! 😍 pippiann if you take regular old Guiafenicin - Mucinex with no additives, no D, etc etc - you just have to chug water like crazy. I pumped 6oz today when I usually pump 16. Oh well. Vacation and Liv will be with me for the next 5 days, it'll be fine.

Hi! It’s been another crazy few days here. Me, my sister, and my girls did a 5k Saturday morning which was fun and while slow haha, we did it and I was so proud of DD1, she’s 3 and rode her bike most of the way! Just a little running and stroller right in the middle. I also took the kids to a birthday party on Friday, as well as DS’s first school dance, and I took DD1 to a birthday party on Saturday too! And just general stuff, all 3 have been bouncing around with a cold the last few days but fingers crossed, all seem to be on the other side of it. The scary moment: around last wed or thurs we noticed a lump on DS’s groin while he was undressing to shower. He felt nothing and didn’t know anything was different, so when nothing changed over the next couple days H ran him up to a walk in clinic Saturday morning where the doctor guessed hernia and sent him to get an ultrasound to confirm. He had his follow up appointment today to discuss the results and it is a confirmed abdominal hernia, however at the moment it’s so small that only fat can get through, and highly unlikely his bowel could which is what would turn a hernia into a medical emergency. So for the moment, it will be left untreated because he’s young enough and the hole is small enough it could heal itself, or he could be fine living with it for quite awhile. The alternative is, it does have the potential to grow in which case he would need to be referred to a pediatric surgeon. But for the moment, it’s ok. So my anxiety levels have been up and down the last few days, but tonight I’m finally feeling much better again, after taking some time to reflect on the last few days and now knowing that it currently should pose no problems to his health. Of course with a lump we had other concerns in mind too, but thankfully that was laid to rest fairly quickly by the doctor and confirmed today as well! Hope everyone has been having a good week! Good luck with it all pippiann! |

Hope you and baby feel better soon! How is the pumping situation going at the other office? Othee than missing my last pump it wasn’t too bad. Only difference was the room didn’t lock so I definitely had to be covered in case someone didn’t read the sign on the door. |

sunfrogger the thought of pumping 16 ounces blows my mind. I’ve never pumped more than 6 ounces in one sitting, and it’s usually only 3.5-4. Hope you’re feeling better soon!!

tiffrobot that would be so stressful! I’m glad it isn’t anything more than a hernia and I hope he has zero issues for a very long time.

I think its normal to only pump 2-4 oz a pump session. At the beginning I was pumping 6 when L was in the NICU. Now I am lucky to get 3-4.

We needed up sleeping together in the glider. 😴 We ended up in my bed, with her climbing all over me and poking me in the face while I tried to snooze the last hour, while the dogs paces because they thought it was morning time. *passes the coffee* |
