maddisonrose literally my weekend, no matter the weather the digging and farming never ends!! π But yes it is tougher this winter and my kids aren't getting as much snow time as they usually do because omg it's so much work getting them both dressed while huffing and puffing over a 30 week belly lol. Lots of play doh and colouring and play time and screen time so far for both my kids. DS is old enough for preschool and gymnastics and hockey at least this year so that keeps him pretty busy too but DD I probably need to get more creative for too. ETA DD is obsessed with bathing right now so that fills up a lot of our evenings, at least she can get some fun water play in. The times H takes DS to gymnastics sometimes we spend the whole time in the bathroom haha. This is exactly our life! No matter how cold or dark it is out there it's always "mommy I wanna go outside and dig the dirt" we haven't had too much snow yet but I know it's coming! ETA; just wanted to take out the pic just incase

Thanks for all of the suggestions! We did the trampoline last year so sadly it's lost most of it's appeal. Working on sensory bins tonight so he can still "dig" stuff!

Happy Election Day!
H is running for a local office for the first time, and odds look good that he'll win. So tonight we'll go to the "results are in" gathering at a bar and hopefully be celebrating! It will be nice to have this campaign over with.
And today it's raining and I'm so tired, so DD and I are watching Trolls while I try to figure out dinner. So unmotivated.

We are ordering dinner. I had planned on grilling burgers but it started to rain and MH doesnβt want to stand out in the rain. Ok. I still donβt have to cook so yay!

Hi yβall. Here to complain. Iβm at my appointment (was supposed to be my 28w but couldnβt get it scheduled until 30). The njrse is nice but gave me a hard time for not getting in at 28w... um ok lol. ALSO she made some comment about how much Iβve gained so far (40lbs in 30w) so Iβm rolling my eyes. At least I know better now, with DD I got all upset & worked up over my weight gain (I gained about 45 total with her) & now Iβm like whatever lol. I just hope my doctor doesnβt say anything about it bc DNW to defend myself. I just gain more I guess. Ugh. Rude. Complain away! Perhaps she should leave that to the doctor? π

My doctor didnβt say anything. Probably because you just have to look at me to know Iβm healthy and doing everything right as far as diet & exercise. Just annoying, i know Iβm not the βaverageβ for weight gain in pregnancy & I hate that I need to prove why thatβs βfine.β

So my crotch pain is out of control today. DH actually asked me if I slipped on ice or something as I tried to walk to the house at noon because I was walking so weird. I am dreading the bleachers at the volleyball game tonight.
Would icing it do anything???

She said ice is good but try to avoid heat unless you find it feels better right away. I hope you find some relief soon, sucks sooo bad

She cooked dinner for us three of the nights. But yeah, I may have locked myself in my bedroom at one point this morning because I was on the verge of hitting my kids, which is not something I believe in at all. So naturally they both sat outside the door crying. Ugh. Not one of my finer moments. But I figure them safely crying outside my door is better than me completely losing my cool on them. Naturally the credit card system at the parking lot went down and it took him 30+ minutes to get out of the lot. So he wonβt make it home before bedtime. So I either try and force three kids to go to bed when they really want to see their daddy, or I let them stay up late when Iβm so done. Ugh.

The heartburn is starting. Any recommendations? Zantac 150 two times a day. If Zantac isn't effective then you can try Prilosec I think but Zantac always does the trick for me!

jessijean, yes to ice. There is probably some inflammation in your joints so ice would help and heat would be bad.

Thatβs actually so great that you were able to just step away to gather yourself!

maddisonrose, what about a corn box? Take a sand box (without sand) and fill it with dried corn. I think people usually do them outside but my cousin might have had one in their kitchen for his son...

I'm sitting here grading papers while icing my lady bits. I have to say it feels pretty good right now. Hopefully, it helps a bit so I can walk semi-normally tomorrow.

Then he leaves again Wednesday and comes home Friday next week. I want to cry and I only have one outside child. Honestly I think it is hard no matter how many kids you have, just a different hard. DH was in med school when our first was born, residency when we had our second. I think I felt a lot more lonely and exhausted then when heβd be gone. Now my oldest is seven, I can have legitimate conversations with her. She can help me with stuff (not that she always does, but she can). The girls play better with each other. And our schedule is a lot more regular with school and activities. Each stage of life is just different. Good luck mama, you can do it!!

Oof ajetter med school and residency with kids is rough. I know people do it but it is hard enough with no other commitments.

The heartburn is starting. Any recommendations? +1 to Zantac twice a day! I prefer the mint one.
