I have nothing exciting going on in my life.
I walked on the door after work today and DS1 immediately said "No, mom! Leave! Go back to work!"
So that's nice.

cookswithwine tomorrow is the full moon. Maybe, for once, the old wives tale will be true and you'll pop instead of having your C.

I got a couple contractions going after using my breast pump but they fizzled out. Tonight was our last night as a family of 3. We had pizza and ice cream and I’m sad about it! O is going to spend the night at the grandparents tomorrow night since we have to be at the hospital fri at 5:30am.

I took the kids to the lake/park today and then tonight I took them for ice cream. This place up the street from me advertises dairy free ice cream on their Facebook so I was really excited to go. I get up there and they have their allergy list and ingredient list taped to the window. I was all excited to order dairy free vanilla ice cream for B but of course, the one night I decide to get fucking ice cream, they have ZERO dairy free options. All he wanted was rainbow sprinkles. So I gave the poor kid a cup of sprinkles and a damn cone while his brother and I ate ice cream in front of him.

Hi ladies. I've been posting on SC so I think most people already know but I had my baby girl early Monday at 36 weeks. All those pains I was complaining about ended up being contractions. And when the midwife checked me, my water broke so we were definitely not leaving at that point. Baby is doing well. She was born on 8/12 at 5:03am. 4lb 3oz. She's in the NICU right now for breathing assistance and eating through a tube but she seems to be improving. Hopefully we can get her breathing and eating on her own soon so we can go home.

My baseboards and doors are supposed to get painted today. I wonder how much will get done. I hope it doesn't smell too bad when the kids come home. AT&T is supposed to come from 12-4 so we should have cable & internet back tonight.

I know you had a roller coaster of a pg with health scares. There's still a few things that they're following up on but nothing critical. They did a couple ultrasounds and she has an MRI scheduled for Saturday to look at her spine but so far the specialist are saying nothing seems to be THAT far off to be of concern. Genetics also sent for some tests that will take time to get back.

cookswithwine, good luck today! goldenlove I hope she's doing great today! Finally a day off! I have girls' night with coworkers. It's at a house that's 5 minutes away and we're thinking of adopting her as a local grandma. Hopefully, this gives us actual date nights! L is coming but they all know him and love him and the boss is making her super strong sangria. I won't be able to stay long because I have a toddler but I'm excited. 30 days till our cruise! Otherwise, Tanner pulled out his stitches AGAIN the day DH left for work so instead of getting a quiet calm morning we had to take him back to the vet and drop DH off at the train station. He is currently living in his cone without chance of parole. LOL Or until the stitches get taken out by the vet. Good news is it's not cancerous at all and just a fatty lump. Though the person who called me kept asking how I was doing and if I was okay... like seven times so she freaked me out a bit before giving me the good news. Skye has an ear infection and August has been an awful month for our dogs. Also, my son is currently watching Aristocats. I don't like this movie but I'm just so happy he's asking for something other than Thomas.

Tonight is my wine dinner and I'm really excited. I feel bad for the babysitter though because they started painting the trim and doors yesterday and my house smells horrible. They're supposed to finish with the oil based paint today. I hope they finish early so it will be dry by the time the kids get home. It was not delightful to make sure they didn't touch anything last night.

My parents are coming tonight to babysit and H and I are going to eat Mexican then head to a bakery that has about 1,000 dessert options. I've specifically asked my parents to try to get them bed at a reasonable time, mostly because I don't want to have to come home, then fight them to go to bed. My parents are generally bad about enforcing bed time (which was SO not the case when we were young but you know how it is parents v grandparents).
Tomorrow night, ILs are taking the kids for a sleepover.
We so need these nights.

I'll just keep eating more and more cake until they text.
