I'm headed to Seattle for a few days for work. After this trip I don't have anything scheduled till October. Doesn't mean something won't pop up though. tinydancer your and your H's travel schedule this week has my head spinning. I know how much work that kind of coordination is. Sounds like you have an awesome nanny though!!

tinydancer I agree that that kind of travel sounds so challenging. I'm not sure how you do it. I waited on hold for 25 minutes calling my clinic. Only to be told the nurse would call me. Now we wait.

And every day last week he kept saying "daddy? daddy?" so I know he misses him.

How are you feeling dizzycooks? How did YH react? So many questions!! 😉 I think my h is more excited than me. Not that I'm not excited, but I'm very nervous. I don't know anyone with 4 kids. The first thing he said was "well that was easy". 😂 yep. I'll be honest guys, im nervous. We have a good thing going here and I'm scared we just screwed it all up. I'm also fairly certain we will never travel again bc we are far from wealthy and the logistics seem so overwhelming.

I think M is getting a cold. H was supposed to leave me his debit card so I could get a few groceries today, but he forgot. So it looks like we're having camping breakfast at home, and getting groceries after he gets home.

I am grilling. I never grill. But hubs is putting babes to sleep. Nursing is no longer a sleepy time option. I am both ecstatic and want to sob.

kcrkcs my baby decided she's big on mid morning nursing again? Not bedtime or nap, but in the middle of the day for a very long time. So odd. I'm going with it for now, I figure it'll end soon enough. Fun fact: I've now been pregnant and or nursing for just under 5 years. Two month break and then you can go back another 2 years. Mamas done after this.

scorpioscuba I'm lazy. I know you said where you were, but where are you? Is that out your hotel?? Amazing! I need a job with some travel. I'd get a legit break now and then. (Not saying it's not also very challenging...) Also, as for how I'm feeling, I'm ok. I'm tired (ha!) and I'm so bloated. So bloated. I am not going to be able to keep this quiet until October. I'll be lucky to make it to September.

dizzycooks I'm in Seattle. Pic is from hotel which is on the south side of Lake Washington. I don't mind the travel as long as it isn't constant. I'm quite enjoying bulking up my miles and points balances as well! Glad you are feeling ok so far. I seem to have lots of friends with 4 kids. They make it work! You can find ways to travel so I wouldn't say it is completely out of the question either. A friend of mine just had her 4th. Her kids are 6, 3, 20 mos and 4 wks!

But since there is always traffic it's realistically like 4 or 5. But still - I'm glad scorpioscuba is in the PNW! I can feel some extra J16 happy vibes in the air.

You can do it! Tomorrow is my work day, and while I have 3 meetings scheduled, I should also have plenty of downtime to just stare at my computer and do my thing. This time we're doing an overnight in London (12 hr layover), so the trip is a bit longer than usual. Door-to-door it'll be about 30 hours. I don't know whether this overnight is going to be a fantastic idea because it'll give us a break between flights and beds to sleep in so we're rested and ready to go for the long flight, or whether no one will sleep because the DDs are so excited so we'll end up being exhausted messes for the transatlantic flight on Friday. I'm giving those options even odds at the moment.

M is super cranky. Probably because she's sick. S not letting her play with him isn't helping. Mama needs coffee. I can't complain too much though. My mom texted yesterday afternoon and asked if she could take the kids to her place for supper, so H and I could get dinner and groceries on our own. Her best friend's daughter (she's 19) came for a visit and wanted to see them. We're taking her to the big mall on Friday because my mom would rather not go.

lollipop what's wrong with M? Dd3 is working on more teeth. I'm way done with teeth. Also, how's the job situation going? I'm waiting to hear on two positions I applied for. My fall round of lessons start in three weeks. I'm ready to make a little cash. Fall activities are expensive!

I'm going to whine. I'm working on cpr, oxygen and first aid training and it is soooo long. Plus I've been on hold to talk to my on nurse for over thirty minutes today. Yesterday it was 25 minutes. This is ridiculous. So I am literally tethered to my computer and phone.

My fall round of lessons start in three weeks. I'm ready to make a little cash. Fall activities are expensive! Just a cold I think. Her nose is running non stop. The job situation is on hold for the moment. I decided that I'd prefer to send the kids to a day home than have someone come here, but I have to find one. And get H on board. He likes that I SAH, but still wants me to have an income. So I don't know what he wants me to do.

I'm just suppose to have a career while I do that. Smh.

dizzycooks it's so frustrating. He doesn't want to send them to daycare or pay for a full time sitter, but he wants me to have an income. Last time I checked, the most effective way of earning an income is to work. And I've had zero luck finding a part time job that works around his hours. He doesn't even really care if I have a career, just as long as I'm making money. I mean, he's not wrong, we do need the money eyes, but I'm not sure how I'm supposed to get it.

I'm freaking out about the logistics of a 4th you guys. Like I'm sitting here actually shaking. I emailed my employer asking to cancel my upcoming leave and if I can save it. I know they won't go for it, but I needed to ask. I'm shaking. I keep wondering if this is a mistake. I am panicking about telling people (not good since I am already so bloated). Why the f have we done??

Oh sweetie, I'm sorry I didn't see this last night. I know it's overwhelming. I'd be overwhelmed too. Try to not worry about what anyone else thinks. Nothing good ever comes from that. You have 3 amazing little girls who are going to be amazing helpers with their new little sister or brother. You are not alone! I promise everything will work out even if it's hard to see right now. Hugs! ❤️❤️❤️

dizzycooks one day at a time ! Thought you guys should know that I can't hang anymore. I had a lovely girls day on Saturday that ended with dh having to pick me up and me puking. Good times. We did have a lot of fun though - patio lunch and winery. I haven't drank much in two years and definitely overdid it!

dizzycooks - ugh! I'm sorry. That is not a fun feeling, but I think it's totally normal! Things will work out - some of them easier than others, but it will work out!
