Not much going on over here. Working and doing laundry so my keyboard gets put under the monitor stand and I don't pull it out too often to be able to post.
After work I'm heading to the gym and then dinner with my bestie. So ready for some time with her. It's been months because of the holiday's and then illnesses.

When I got to work today I had an email from HR about setting up an interview today or tomorrow for the supervisor position. It was sent yesterday a minute after I left. I responded, but didn't get a reply today. I'm not terribly upset about not interviewing today as I was not dressed for an interview (if we donated to a food drive we could wear jeans). So hopefully tomorrow I'll have my first interview.
I also figured out who one other person is that applied. Even though she's been doing this longer I think I'll be seen as a harder worker than her. She doesn't know I've applied and I hope she doesn't figure it out until decisions have been made, she's a bit of a gossip.

I am drained so Walt and I are staying in today and watching movies (if he'll sit still). Does anyone else have a super high energy kid? Yesterday during story time he couldn't sit still and focus so I literally was having him jump in place multiple times. I do not have enough coffee to keep up with this kid. K is non-stop right now. There are times I just want to be a bum and not do anything and she will come over and "pull" me up. Yup W likes to use me as his own personal jungle gym and if I lay down he comes and licks up my head.

W is filled with snot. Just sneezing globs of snot on all the things. I'm making soup for dinner hoping it helps. We'll do the humidifier and Vicks on the feet tonight. Hopefully he's all clear or at least less snotty before gymnastics this weekend. It's his first class.

Hi! I'm counting the days until I'm done with work. 6 more days after today. Unfortunately, I am stuck at work tonight until 1am at least. And my back is killing me. Boo. I wanna go home and take a nice hot bath.

girlonabike, do you have something scheduled for the birth? Or did you just set a last day of work? I'm kind of wishing I had decided to just set s last day but my luck she would come a week late and I'd have less leave with her! Tonight, E told me he doesn't want me to have a baby in my tummy. I think he's getting upset with all the things I can't or won't do with him. With now pulled rib muscles from coughing, I haven't been picking him up which really upsets him, I usually carry him around a lot still! You are having a girl too? Or am I wrong?

I'm kind of concerned about Abigail's weight. I realized she was looking thin recently and decided to weigh her. As of right now she's only gained 1 lb since her 2 year checkup in August. I know it didn't help that she was puking from the stomach flu at the beginning of the month and was drinking very little milk for a while after that and not eating well. Add that to overall lousy toddler eating (about half the time she won't eat what I cook for dinner), and we're not in a great place. I think I'm going to call the pedi tomorrow. I need to figure out how to get more calories into her without just feeding her doughnuts all day long.

girlonabike , do you have something scheduled for the birth? Or did you just set a last day of work? I'm kind of wishing I had decided to just set s last day but my luck she would come a week late and I'd have less leave with her! Tonight, E told me he doesn't want me to have a baby in my tummy. I think he's getting upset with all the things I can't or won't do with him. With now pulled rib muscles from coughing, I haven't been picking him up which really upsets him, I usually carry him around a lot still! You are having a girl too? Or am I wrong? Nothing set for the birth, but I asked work to put me out on sick leave starting the 4th. I'm not thrilled with burning up a week's worth of sick leave, but I can't stay right up to d-day. I work in DC, and it would take forever to get to AAMC if I went into labor during rush hour, and I do not not want my coworkers freaking out if I did go into labor. Although with the way I've been feeling today, I wonder if I'll even make it to the 4th... Kiddo still doesn't really get that he is about to have a sister. I've had to limit my picking him up, but it doesn't stop him from jumping all over me like a monkey. I have a strong feeling that he is going to be jealous once the baby is here and he can't do that anymore. He can be very demanding when he wants attention.

aydee M just had his 2.5 check up am only gained a pound since his 2 year. The doctor wasn't concerned, and said that after 3 they tend to gain 3-4 pounds a year, but he was right on track currently. Hugs, weight anxiety is tough, especially with picky eating also being a factor.

girlonabike I hope the rest of your work shifts are relatively calm. I'm so sorry your hurting easternshoregirl. I totally get what you're saying, M has started to become frustrated he can't cuddle on my lap like he use to.

So a few days ago my cousin got a box delivered from Amazon with boots in it..... and the Amazon employees lanyard, badges, office/house key, and car key that packed her box. She used social media to find the Amazon employee and got his belongings back to him.
Fast forward to today: their story has been picked up by the news and PEOPLE magazine!
This is huge because my cousins son has a rare disease, SDS, and he will most likely need a bone marrow transplant in the very near future, but he doesn't have a match. This is why she shops like crazy on Amazon because a common cold could kill her son, so they don't go to a lot of busy public places. The attention to the story has sparked a huge new wave of people swabbing for Be The Match.

aydee, my addie is a slow weight gainer. her pediatrician once recommended adding in fats to what she does eat. she said add butter to eggs, avocado on toast, protein powder to smoothies, carnation type of breakfast drinks....does she still drink milk, if so go back to whole milk. Also, have you considered that maybe she has grown taller a few inches? i've noticed A tends to grow up instead of gaining weight, that gain make her look leaner even though she is at a healthy weight. in the end, i'd check with the doctor and if they aren't too worried i wouldn't worry.

I don't think E has gained since Aug either. He went into the doc for sickness last week and his weight was pretty much the same as it was for his 2 year well visit. Like someone mentioned, he has gotten taller so I'm guessing he'll start to fill in some now?

It looks like there is a chance we will have to move twice.. Our broker texted us yesterday saying our buyers will be ready to close "very soon".. I'm crossing everything we can somehow get this to line up to close on both houses within a few days at best.. same day would be ideal, obviously..
