Appointment went good. The nurse said my blood pressure was high and asked if anyone had come with me to the appointment so I was a little worried but the doctor said it was ok. I can go back to work for my last 8 days. She said if contractions start up again like on Monday, try drinking a glass of wine.

jewels I loved the Leap Pad when DD had it. It taught her how to form all her letters correctly but that was before all the other kinds of devices on the market so you probably don't need one now. I picked our preschool because they have no modern technology at all, not even a single tv. They do lots of outdoor play. We got a letter the other day reminding parents that the kids will be coming home dirty every single day because they will paint, glue, play outdoors... They also started extra enrichment programs this year-he had 6 weeks of soccer now he just started 6 weeks of Yoga and they promise they will never charge extra so no kids will be left out of those programs.

Thanks for looking out for me 😉. Would this be the equivalent of a vacuum or blender purchase for a wife on her birthday? Because his birthday is in Dec and this is soooo tempting. J is SSTN now and it’s amazing, IMAGINE A WORLD WHERE MH DIDNT WAKE ME UP FROM SNORING.

That is awesome (the bolded). I always feel bad for families that can not afford the extras, and have to decline those things. As to the leappad, I think everyone here has convinced me not to get it and to keep trying what we've been doing...

J is SSTN now and it’s amazing, IMAGINE A WORLD WHERE MH DIDNT WAKE ME UP FROM SNORING. When B was up a lot I used to send MH to the guest room to sleep. And when one of us is sick, he goes in there too. Last week I sneezed 3 times. MH asked if I was getting sick and should he sleep in the other room... I was fine, but told him that would probably be for the best. Then I watched bad reality TV and got a good night's sleep

I kinda resent the Pinterest mom comment. I know I mentioned my family can be critical, but the way my house is and how I plan a party is not to keep up with the joneses. I do it bc I like things a certain way, and that usually means organized, decorated and put-together.

I didn't really get any additional information at lunch. Coworker was asked to stay behind, but only spoke to her direct boss, claiming it was because of her facial expressions, she could tell she was not happy. Coworker honestly told her that a previous employer had made her an offer, but that she wouldn't leave us in the middle of a big project.
Although on the way back from lunch, she did call 2 companies. :-)
No one else has said a word about it since.

I do it bc I like things a certain way, and that usually means organized, decorated and put-together. I agree. There's nothing wrong with wanting to throw a super cute party or have your house pretty and organized. People have been doing that long before Pinterest. My parties are typically like this, just not this year. It's not to make other people feel bad because they don't have a themed party or anything. I do what I want, you do what you want.

L has a double ear infection and poor C was soooo excited for his shots. SO excited. Telling everyone he was getting shots and asking if it was time yet. I prepared him the best I could, but I think he was still shocked it hurt though and was so sad! I felt awful for him!

I have a friend (I'm sure you can all figure out which one) who is the opposite of a "pinterest mom" and I have zero judgement on that. Her LOs bday party was super low key and everyone had fun. My sister is the the other side of the spectrum and goes all out. My friend had made comments about me keeping up with the Joneses (my sister). Hmm.. did you ever think that we're sister and might have similar tastes and personality traits? Yes, I've gone to my 4 nieces and nephews parties for 8 years so maybe it rubbed off on me a little, but I wouldn't do it if it didn't make me/my kids happy.

Oooh, poor kiddos wineallthetime! N was excited last year for her flu shot and volunteered to go first. She was sooo sad and hurt when she realized it wasn't as fun as she expected.

It...didn't go well. The look he gave the nurse was priceless and he jumped across the room😂.

I feel like you're a lot like me in how you get pleasure from wrapping presents or putting baskets together. It means as much as the gift inside the beautifully wrapped box.

My kid is ok with getting shots but terrified of the band aid they try to put in after. He had a finger stick yesterday and watched without flinching then flipped when the nurse tried to put a band aid on it.

If my kids had their way every tiny little scratch or bruise would be covered in band aids. They're obsessed.

Happy Birthday J!! vinokim22 glad things are looking good for you and baby! Team “don’t stress over parties” (was that in this thread or another?). For Sierra’s 1st Birthday we only had us, my parents, MH’s parents, and my BIL. But I wanted everything just so. And when MH and his brother and Dad decided they had something they wanted to do we (they) decided to move everything up to before nap instead of after. I didn’t have the cute decorations I had set out, the food wasn’t set up how I wanted and I went in the other room and cried for a minute. Then I let it go. We had a great little celebration and S has a great time. We haven’t done a friend party and probably won’t for a few years.

Just took S for her flu shot. Girlfriend didn’t even cry. I was impressed. I got mine yesterday and the shot itself didn’t hurt but my arm was pretty sore last night and today.

H cried when the needles went in but was fine 10 seconds later. He’s napping and I’ll pick up M in a bit.
You know, after I finish this glass of wine.
