I do not want to back to work. Hoping this day goes by quick, but for whatever reason, short weeks feel ten times longer.

I ended up having a girls day with my best friend yesterday and H watched the boys but I woke up in a bad mood because the house was a mess and it took me two hours this morning to get it back clean. Due to Labor Day, DS2's therapy was moved to today. The rest of the week has been booked kinda full and I'm regretting it already.

Hey!! It went very well! Everyone is looking good (as is that placenta haha). 12oz and 13oz so the doctor was pleased. And I'm team blue! Looks like I'm destined to be a boy mom! 😍

Congrats on team blue teraiin! Yay for brothers 😀. Just a normal Tuesday over here. DS was in a really good mood, singing and chatting up a storm all day. He was so emotional and cranky last week/over the weekend, but today it was like he got a boost on his vocabulary and speaking skills. Much better attitude towards the potty too - last week he was being really stubborn and controlling about it. I just want him to always be in a good mood like this...although I know that is just wishful thinking.

She must have had a leap because yesterday she was chatting up a storm and coming up with new words left and right. It's crazy how these things happen. Fx the good mood stays.

Congrats teraiinEverything was good at the doctors except her iron was kinda low again, so they want us to start back with the OTC drops and said they will recheck when LO goes back for her flu shot. I feel a little skeptical though bc her number is always exactly the same (except for once at her 15 mo appt after 2 months of prescription drops). It's not that I don't believe it's low it just seems weird that it's always exactly the same number. I didn't get to ask about it though bc LO was melting down so I will bring it up next time.

jewel, that's weird that her number is the same every time. Can you call today when things are calmer and talk to them about it? I know how hectic the appointments are and I always rush things too since K is freaking out.

I hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend!
We had a busy but fun weekend. We went to the outlet mall on Saturday and I got the boys matching Christmas pjs, among other things. Sunday we spend the day at the fair, which was a ton of fun. DS1 rode the train ride several times and probably would have been happy to just stay on it the entire day. He also loved the little petting zoo area they had. Yesterday we got his hair cut, which is always traumatic but then went to CFA for dinner and had a chocolate milkshake.
Overall it was a nice long weekend and I'm sad it's over.

Ya, I mean I'm sure the machine is like a little sticky around certain numbers but it's not like it is a borderline number, so I think we are going back to supplements either way, but I will definitely give them a call later while LO is napping. LO still gets Cheerios and spinach everyday and liverwurst for lunch a times a week, and a lot of beans but I will start making her those muffins I used to make as well with fortified oats and such. Idk if some kids just have a harder time absorbing it or w/e, bc she definitely eats a lot of iron rich foods.

We had a low-key weekend which was so nice, because this week is not only short, but LBB has his Teddy Bear Picnic at school Thursday and I volunteer on Friday. So I feel like I have less time to get a lot of stuff done. I think my morning meeting was cancelled today, so at least that's one thing off my plate!

jewel, does she drink a lot of milk? I think that can prevent absorption. But I may be misrecalling.

She gets an 8 oz smoothie everyday made with yogurt or milk and eats cheese at least once a day. Her growth is good though and she is just weaned as of last week, so her pedi has not been pushy with the milk. We were super close to seeing a specialist last time, she had some other GI type issues before she was 1, but hasn't had any in awhile, but we have a family friend who is a pediatric GI so I can ask her if it's worth seeing a specialist.

I have a new phone coming in a few days and I'm so excited. I am moving from Window's phone (long, long story) to Android, so I need all the app recommendations. All the app developers pulled out from the WP market so I have almost no usable apps on my current phone. I can't wait to have a working tapatalk app. Maybe then I won't go MIA for so long.

I had a Windows phone briefly but I had to get rid of it for the same reason.
Here are the apps I use the most:
Tapatalk Amazon Etsy Wayfair Snapchat Instagram Twitter (I'm not on FB or I'd have that one as well) Target's Cartwheel BofA Simpson's Tapped Out Wonder Weeks Redfin Realtor MapMyRun HumorCast (weather) Pinterest Google Pokemon Go (I know, I judge myself, too)

I like it more now that not so many people are playing. It's nice to have your Pokemon stay in a gym for longer than 5 minutes.

H and I went back to school yesterday. We both had pretty shitty days, and I'm dreading today. It's astounding the number of things that administrators and tech people don't realize people need to have for the first day, even after many years on the job.
H and I are also telling too many colleagues that I'm pregnant. It's so early still and that freaks me out, but we can't help processing it with everyone, apparently. I've picked a few that I genuinely trust and would tell if something goes wrong, though, so I'm not out of control yet 😬.

Morning! I worked a double yesterday and I'm still tired. At least I only have today, tomorrow, and possibly a few hours on Friday after that.
TW for parent death and scary car stuff ahead
The universe basically took a massive dump on us last week. DH's stepdad died Thursday (he had cancer, so it wasn't completely out of the blue, but it still sucks) and DH'S car decided it wanted to burn to a crisp Friday (he's okay and he managed to get a few things out of it, but even if he hadn't, it's just stuff). I think we're going to be okay, it's just a lot in two days.

letthewookieewin, I am so sorry for your loss. I am so glad your H was not hurt and got out of the car safely. That's crazy scary. Hugs to you and I hope the universe gets it's act together and sends you something good soon.
