After DS letting us sleep in this weekend getting up to get everyone ready this morning was rough. He even asked to go back to bed.
A good friend of mine had a baby last week (Wednesday, I think) and he was born with some sort of infection and has been in the NICU for antibiotics since. DH is just "how could this happen? he's full term, he should be healthy" Well DH, things happen. I keep reminding him that as far as NICU babies are concerned he's one of the healthier ones and a lot of it is just for monitoring now. They should get to take him home on Wednesday. I've tried not to text her because she has enough to do but she actually text me yesterday some so I could see how she was doing.
Her husband is actually my H's boss so I plan to send a meal (and lactation cookies) home with him when he comes back to work.

Yesterday we went to the state fair, then a block party in our neighborhood and ended the night at Foo Fighters. I am exhausted. DD had her favorite sitter over and they played and DD went to bed easily in her toddler bed at 8:30. I think I need to have the sitter move in with us. The night before DD wouldn't go in her bed and didn't fall asleep until 11. Fingers crossed she's turned over a new leaf and will go in her own bed tonight.

jessijean as someone who has had a baby in the NICU for two weeks, I appreciated texts even if I couldn't check them for hours. The days can be so long and lonely in there ❤ I hope your friend's baby is healthy and out soon! They'll love the meal! I'm hoping this week is a much more normal week! H's work schedule is normal again, I'm hoping to finish off my prescription at the end of this week WITHOUT strep coming back haha, and we should have a new bed by Friday. Yep yep, all sounds good to me! I can't wait till Wednesday to share, we did family pics yesterday and the photog sent me my new favorite picture of H and I last night (PDQ). It sounds like she's going to get at the rest right away so hopefully I have more to share this or next HDBD! Poof

We had a busy weekend! Mom ended up coming up (her cold was mild and we were careful) and got half of one wall wallpapered in the nursery. The online calculator said I needed two rolls and silly me thought that one double roll was the same as two rolls. Stupid wallpaper sellers didn't give me the square footage so I could double check so I had to order another roll and pray that the color is the same, we are worried it might come from a different color batch and then we will be screwed.
We also went out and bought more maternity clothes, as part of my shower gift Mom is purchasing me one full maternity outfit and I bought a dress and tights that I will wear to the shower and for Christmas. I bought four new shirts so I now have nice clothes for our maternity shoot as well.
This week looks to be slow at work again (no complaints here) so I just finished cleaning up our bedroom the best that I can (construction dust, debris, and boxes of stuff piled up that normally aren't there). I'm going to try to finish up the crib bumpers today and then work on a lap quilt for the husband of one of my friends who is going through chemo for non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. I picked up the material yesterday and this is a pattern that just uses squares so this should go together pretty fast.

Hi ladies! I've been crappy about keeping up lately! I can't believe us January ladies are all in or nearing our 3rd trimester! Where did the time go?! February you're right behind us! I hope everyone is well. I'm feeling better from my sinus infection, finished the antibiotics Sunday and DS is better from his illness too. Now we both have colds but that I can deal with. We've still don't literally nothing for a nursery. The room is currently a guest room/office. I'm really not stressed bc baby will be in our room for about 6 months anyway. It feels good to have my c section scheduled and know the expected delivery date. As long as all goes well as it as been of course! I'm starting maternity leave the week of Christmas. Just about 2 more months! I can't believe it!!

Good morning all! Hope everyone had a nice weekend. Beautiful photo tiffrobot! DD has been getting over a cold since Friday and I thought she was fully over it so I didn't give her Motrin last night before bed. I should have... she was up eleventy million times. I'm also feeling the beginnings of a cold myself and I'm hoping to stamp it out before it progresses. I am happy to finally be feeling like I'm over most of the nausea! I mean, I puked this morning, but after I puke the rest of the day is ok, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I'll take it.

Happy Monday everyone! rebeccabunch what did you think of Crazy Ex Girlfriend on Friday? I really liked the first episode!! So happy it's back!! I loved it! I’ve watched it twice. I really liked the 80s song and next week looks good. I like the whole her and Nathaniel thing. The Devil Winds Episode is my favorite. The elevator 🔥

Morning!
Just got back from a tour for a pre school for D. We looked at a private school that he can do a junior kinder garden program for two years before starting kindergarten. It was SO cool all of the different activities and learning programs they can do. They have a culinary program, music, French, and a mindfulness learning component. I'm pretty much all like, please accept my kid now but I have to sell MH on the financial part of it. I know he was totally thinking that once D went to school their would be minimal tuition fees.... but how can you say no to curriculum like that. Plus uniforms 😍
Hope everyone has a good Monday!

Hi y’all! Busy morning...we had to go on base to get our IDs renewed and I had to get groceries AND the dog had his yearly checkup. Apparently this was a “big” shot day, like his rabies & distemper combo shot that he hasn’t had for three years now. So the poor guy is so restless & feeling yucky.
I worked out today for the first time in a few weeks and it felt great! Now I’m grading & DD is napping!

jessijean Tell your H that G was full term and in the NICU. Her blood sugar was low. She spent the first 4 days of her life there. It happens unfortunately.

I really don’t know what prompted the check in the first place. Maybe they do that to all newborns? She was going to be there for at least a few hours anyway because her arm was broken. It ended up being 4 days in the NICU. She came home on Mother’s Day. 😊

marygracerich, I think they may check all babies. My sister's second kid had to stay in the hospital (no NICU though) at least an extra day b/c his sugars were all wacky too. ETA: I think I tagged the wrong person! Too tired to figure out who I was trying to tag though!!!

Busy day at work. And I had a coworker comment about my belly and I think my response rubbed her the wrong way (she commented on how he was definitely sticking out today and I said I know I can't breathe or walk).

@madissonrose, a friend's baby had issues with sugar too and was in the NICU even though she was full term.
In this case the mom had failed her one hour but passed the three hour. We (the mom and I) always wondered if the results of the three hour were off for some reason and she actually had GD.

I meant to go to bed but I got sucked in to watching Moulin Rouge on TV. I forgot how much I love this movie. I think I need to watch Australia tomorrow...
