Tuesday.

Ds1 is now sick. So my day is going to be buckets of fun. Ds2 still has a cough but it sounds more productive today. I told dh that if he gets an SOS message to please come home.

[sarahandben108]

Sounds like a snuggle day on the couch grumpycat.

[sarahandben108]

I'm here. My H is still not 100% but he's at the doctors this very moment. I hope he can figure out what's going on.

That is the plan. And snot suckering the baby, who HATES the snot sucker so more like wrestling an angry octopus. Lol.

HAHA.  Different doctors office though.

I forgot how cute, but annoying of a stage it is when they start pulling themselves up all the time. Namely bedtime and motn....bedtime was a struggle last night and 5 am he was standing in his crib and hasn’t wanted to go back down. So I’m downstairs letting him play and making coffee

[ldubhawksfan]

Also everyone in our house is a snotty mess. Thanks kiddos. Last night dh got the chills and was in bed by 9

Sorry, I’ve been mia. What is going on with Dh?

[pootsen]

I’m sorry for all the sickies! Sending lots of healthy vibes everyone’s way.

Today is one of Ds1’s long days at school and FIL is taking C so I can go to a couple of appointments, one of which is a hair cut! I’m also going to sneak in a workout.

[sarahandben108]

Heard from my H. Apparently his lungs are still inflamed and so now he's back on the inhaler and is now on a steroid as well.

Oh no I can’t believe he is still sick! I hope they can help him.

Bronchitis.  Then he started coughing so hard he blacked out for a few seconds holding E.  Dropped E from his lap to the floor.  E was fine.  A visit to the ER and the doctor claimed his lungs were clear.  Then it moved to coughing so hard it was causing him to throw up. Sounds like his lungs are not actually clear and that he needed additional medication.

[doxiemama]

I used to pump at 10 and 3 and I switched this week to just once at noon. Not gonna lie, I miss having that mid morning break to look forward to.

The timing is good bc B is starting to self wean anyway. He’s too busy to nurse during the day unless he’s really hungry. Then of course he’s up all night making up for it 😴

[laurensc927]

sarahandben108 I hope this round of meds does the trick!

grumpycat good luck today, H hates the snot snucker too so I can relate.

Does someone here get a produce delivery? I have been seeing ads for misfit produce lately and I'm intrigued especially considering how much my grocery bill has already jumped. I'm tired today, from the time I walked in the door last night until I went to bed I only sat for 15 minutes to eat. But dinner for tonight is prepped, and H and my lunches for tomorrow are ready to go. I have a hair appt after work (hence the prep) so I can already look forward to not washing and drying it tomorrow lol.

Oh right! Last week I did catch that scare! I’m so sorry! That is scary that it still isn’t cleared!

We used to do a local produce box pre kids and I liked it, but they delivered before dawn and our dog would always bark Luke crazy and wake us up for the day at 4 am. I canceled because of it.

Hope everyone starts feeling better soon! Ds2 and I both have colds too. And he also hates the snot sucker but he has so much in there!! I was up from 2-330am because I just couldn’t fall back asleep!

H came through and brought me flowers this morning. 😍

I have a health screening for insurance and they give me $150 to do it. It’s not until 11, I have to fast and I am starving. Next year I will plan better. I plan on treating myself to lunch out and a nap afterwards.

[doxiemama]

I don’t think $150 is enough motivation for me to fast until 11, lol. Hope you got some food already, Jules.

[pootsen]

Happy anniversary jules1614!

Seriously! The only fasting late into the morning has been for good reasons, like a) making sure my damn 1 hr glucose test isn’t effed so I can still eat all the carbs as a big pregnant lady and b) scheduled CSs for my babes. I like breakfast a lot.....

[jules1614]

I am usually a very hangry person, and I looooove coffee but with this cold I didn’t crave it this morning so it worked out! Plus all my numbers are good so that’s even better. But trust, I had snacks packed in my car lol!

[clucky]

Hello! Today taking DS3 to see his class, which happens to be DS2's class. Jury is out on how H and I feel about this, but for a few hours every day, it will be just ds4 and I. So weird.

Funny timing, I just posted on General Discussions that I started using Imperfect Produce. I love it. It is so inexpensive. I have a link for a discount if you want to try!

We got our first box lasy week (just launched here) and it was $14 and a ton of produce. Cheaper than the grocery store even with some organic stuff.

At least for us, Imperfect delivers in a window from 2 pm to 10 pm. My first box came at like 4 pm.

[thatgolfb]

I was getting Farm Fresh To You and liked it, but the price difference was pretty big.

[thatgolfb]

Hi and bye, because my lunch break is ending lol.

I believe it was thatgolfb that did misfit produce.  I think she posted about it on Instagram.

ETA: I am TOO slow.  Story of my life.

I keep disappearing and reappearing. I swear I am always reading though! Sometimes I don't get a chance to log in until after bedtime and I just can't muster up the energy to bore everyone with my rambling.

I forgot my pump parts today so I had to skip my morning pump and didn't get any relief until I fed N at daycare over the noon hour. That was less than pleasant. Speaking of N, he is apparently in a blowout phase right now. He had two yesterday at daycare, one this morning, and another just now at daycare. I am tired of cleaning up poop. I remember DS1 had a phase right around this age where he had blowouts every day. Hopefully it ends soon. I was worried yesterday that he was having a food reaction but his poop this morning was fine, just a lot and wasn't contained. It's probably from the eighty billion pounds of food he is eating everyday.

I also got a great deal on a Cosco Finale carseat for DS1's travel seat. I had a 20% trade in coupon for Target (we traded the infant bucket...I might have teared up) and stacked that with another 20% a baby item promo, plus my 5% red card discount. It came out to $27.70. Totally worth it! It is only 8lbs so a perfect, basic travel seat.

jules1614, our insurance pays us $325 into the health reimbursement account to do a biometric screening. My doctor does a 12 hour fast on bloodwork. I thought I was going to eat the nurse's face by the time she drew my blood. Glad your numbers came back good!
