jedi - Can you tell him that he will get Valentine's in return. They may not be cars, but if there are any extras he can have them?

Midwife appointment today. They had no record of me having an appointment today--um yes, I made it at my last appointment last week! Luckily they saw me anyway since I am 2 days overdue. It was a whole lotta nothing. I like this practice because they are very chill and hands off, but sometimes they can be a little TOO hands off. All they did was listen to the heart beat & take a fundal height measurement. Oh well. I'm kinda relieved they didn't do an internal check, but at the same time I'd kinda like to know.
Anyway, I gotta make an appointment with the MFM for a NST on Friday, and then its back to the midwife on Monday if nothing has happened by then. I really hope this baby comes before Friday.

You are AMA, right? I'm amazed/impressed they aren't pushing to induce! I'm really glad you have had time to recover from the flu. I hope you are feeling better. Are there OBs at your practice too?

girlonabike I hope baby decides to make their entrance soon! Betweenthelines moving can be so stressful. Sorry for the rough day so far. Is the house you guys are buying new? I hope your DS feels better.

jedi I don't blame your son for wanting ones if his valentine's too! They are pretty awesome. Do you not have an extra one for him? mrspiatt sorry for the crop sleep. It is so difficult to shift back into good sleep. I hope you can find something that works for A to help her sleep better.

M has been screaming, grabbing and scratching lately. I'm pretty over it and finding myself losing patience easily. Each day is a new one, and then he does something adorable. I'm also feeling a bit touched out, he now always wants to sit on my lap during meals....sigh...at least he is sleeping well now in his big bed (including naps!)

So we have been living in a construction zone lately as they are finishing up the brick and siding. We peeked today and looks like the brick should be finished. Hopefully the tarps will come down soon and siding finished. I'm getting excited about our exterior choices!

What, if anything, did you get your kids for Valentine's day? H and I decided we weren't getting anything for each other and tonight I realized we didn't get anything for the kids either. They each picked out a little wooden thing to paint (Connor got a heart and K picked out a K), and I have cookies to bake tomorrow and they can help decorate.

easternshoregirl, I am AMA, but I don't think they get too concerned with it unless you are over 40 (I'm 38). No OB's, they are all CNMs. I don't mind going late (kiddo was 8 days overdue), but MIL is only here until Sunday. After that, we'll have to figure out what to do for childcare. I'd rather be able to take advantage of her presence NOW. Physically I feel fine, if a little swollen and uncomfortable. Mentally, I'm done. I just want to get this show on the road and get to the next chapter. I feel like I've been pregnant forever (and honesty, it's been almost an entire year counting the 4 months I was pregnant at the beginning of last year).

jedi, A had a complete meltdown last night when i wouldn't give her 1 of her own valentine cards, or the sticker that went with it or the gummies i was attaching to them. And her's weren't as cool as yours! fierymama, each of my kids received 1 plush toy, 1 chocolate heart lollipop, about a cup full of red and pink candy corn and a heart container of skittles. Plus a card from mom and dad.

I get to spend my Valentine's evening at the pediatrician. They have to check Ds and of course dd has to come with so I get to threaten their lives again to not touch a single thing in the office and their butts better not leave their chair in the waiting room. This flu shit has me so paranoid.

They each picked out a little wooden thing to paint (Connor got a heart and K picked out a K), and I have cookies to bake tomorrow and they can help decorate. My "tradition" (started it last year) is to give E a book, (very small amount of) candy and a card. I think what you are doing sounds great!

OMG, I can relate on the constantly pregnant thing. Last school year, I was pregnant more months than not preg yet my pregnancy with V didn't start until May. That was really rough for me. C'mon babyonabike2!

girlonabike, you are so close to the end! And a very new beginning. I am excited for you. The last few days/weeks are the toughest in my opinion. Hang in there!

Of course H took J in a couple of weeks ago to get swabbed and he told me after that J had to touch and crawl over every chair in the waiting room.

Of course J also tries to crawl around on the floor in the urgent care, so I'm really just trying to focus on that wonderful immune system he is building.

Thankfully when we were there last week neither kid budged from their seat. Happy meals seem to be a good thing to use as bribery and I also scare the shit out of them and tell them they'll get the flu and miss school for a week if they don't listen to me and stay in their seat. FX I can be as successful tonight as I was last week.

Oh hey, and in case anyone is keeping track of how shitty things have been going for me, our car insurance is dropping us as of April 1, and if we want to renew with them it'll cost us $675 PER MONTH to be insured with them. Main reason is because of that accident my mom got into and since she's not on our insurance it flagged us, plus h's last 2 tickets.
I'm sitting at my desk in tears at the moment. I'm not sure how much longer I can keep it together.
