I'm sorry, yummeecookee. Exactly what others said, go at your own pace and be kind to yourself.

trtlcrzy Happy Birthday! I think you have your shit together so much more than most 30 year olds. I have to go for a CT scan tomorrow. Waiting to hear if the dye is an issue with breastfeeding. They have a nurse looking into it but I think I'm going to call my pediatrician. Of course it's DH's first day back to work tomorrow. Thankfully, my mom only works until 11:30 so she can take C. Kellymom says it’s ok because it isn’t absorbed into your bloodstream kellymom.com/bf/can-i-breastfeed/illness-surgery/radioisotopes/ETA lahdeedah might also have some knowledge

I found out I was pregnant with L on my 30th birthday. My family had a party for me that day and the vibe was definitely different because they'd planned a lot of drinking related activities.
30's doesn't bother me.

I'm 40 and pregnant. Seems like there should be a reality show of the same name. The only thing I've minded about 40 is that my metabolism has crashed and burned.

trtlcrzy, I’ve used BTW and it was fine but I wasn’t blown away by it. So for the price I didn’t feel it was worth repurchasing. I agree that this is a tough time of year for foundation. Aside from color issues, my skin is also dry so I feel like anything to heavy and I look like I have papier-mâché on! The shape tape foundation is supposed to have 2 formulas- a matte and then a hydrating one. I’m gonna give the hydrating one a try.

Just got a note from DC. They are keeping an eye on the storm and will let us know about tomorrow's delays or closures as soon as they can.
I really want to stay home, so I hope they decide to close.

@yummycookee I hope that all goes well with the babies and that YH realizes this is hard, and that that waiting till they are home is perfectly fine!
All the schools around are closing for tomorrow already...I’m just waiting for the inevitable call that day care is closed. Maybe I’ll get lucky and they won’t. I NEED this child to go back to day care! She’s been home with me for a week now between being sick and then out of town. Girl needs her routine back!

I was looking at the top rated foundations on Sephora and that was one with good reviews, which is why I want to try it. If it doesn’t work out I can always bring it back. My face is also super dry/peeling from the medicated creams I have to put on. Not a good look.

Well it's 5pm and I'm still in my PJs. I'm still waiting for N to cut this molar, the drool is pretty impressive. I'm also listening to a cranberries Pandora station and it's so good. I'm really sad she died, that was one of the first bands I listened to in middle school.

I didn't love turning 30, but 3+ years in I'm happy. The older I get the more I've accepted certain things about myself (mostly appearance-related) that I was insecure over as a teen or 20-something. I'm enjoying adult-relationships with my parents, and it's been wonderful to see them with the kids. I think being a mom has boosted my confidence in certain areas; we've overcome some things and my kids are happy and healthy and I truly feel like they will be my greatest accomplishment in this life. 20s were fun in a lot of ways, don't get me wrong, but I don't really have an interest in doing them again. Sometimes I wonder if my H and I should have 'done more' before starting our family, but we still get to do a lot and I'm enjoying this phase of life. Now if we could just be settled in 1 place...! Same...except 30 is 9 months away for me. I want to travel more in my 30s and it will be hard with the kids, but I have two sets of awesome grandparents and I'm planning to use them as long as they are willing.

The contrast itself is not radioactive and I don’t think we ask about breastfeeding for CTs with contrast. What time is your CT? I can ask our radiologist in the morning.

Then you'll love my story with my firstborn. I thought I had a bladder infection, so I went to see my doc. She ran the test, crunched the numbers, and told me I was nine weeks along (turns out I was only 6.5, but still). I had no idea. You're only supposed to be able to get pregnant when you're trying, right? Oh the grief I received at the hands of my mother and MIL. In my defense, I had POAS, which was negative. Because those things are NEVER wrong, amirite?!

She got sick with what she thought was the flu after about 3 years of marriage. She just couldn’t shake it! Lol. She got the surprise of her life when they said she was pregnant. It didn’t even dawn on her that it was a possibility.

Morning Ladies and Happy Birthday @ trtlcrzy! We are all off today including my H, so he is out shoveling our ice rink do we can have a bunch of neighborhood kids over to skate. We have one hour to clean, and these are the kinds of deadlines I need. Drill Sargent mode activated! Tell me more about your ice rink. DH wants to build one in our yard. We have these plastic supports, and a bunch of wooden boards, and a tarp and just fill it with water. I'll try to PIP a photo if I can. You do need a relatively flat area in your yard, otherwise one side can get really deep. It's great for the kids and DH is a hockey player, so he built a few goals and gets a game going when there are enough kids. It's cool to have something for everybody to do when it's cold and it's been a nice way to hang with our neighbors. It's an all ages activity too, which is great.

Schools are closed so daycare is closed. I’m supposed to have court tomorrow. I hope my office closed so I don’t have to take the kids with me to prepare for court...

MH got home, I made us martinis and immediately sent him on his way to the store for more vodka & wine.
If I’m going to be stuck at home tomorrow again I don’t want to be without the necessities.
