I've been alone all day with a cranky baby with a double ear infection while I have a kidney stone trying to pass and I didn't cry one time. I'm pretty proud of myself.
I get to spend the weekend with dh I'm so excited!! He's worked 10 days straight so it's well worth it and I got cleared by my high risk Dr to do the deed again ?????????????????? really happy about that it's been toooo long Lol
The nurses and doctors at the hospital have been amazing with ds. He's here for a couple of days due to a virus. They're all very responsive and caring.
I finished transferring all licensing and registrations at the DMV after 4 visits over a month totaling 10hrs. I am so glad to not have to go back anytime soon, or get up on my Saturday morning to be there at the crack of sparrow fart ?
I fit into junior size m/l yoga pants. I initially tried on the xl/xxl because they were juniors and ended up being pleasantly surprised. Guess those donkey kicks and fire hydrants are working after all!
We are going to big bear tomorrow with friends! Even though I'm 27 weeks it'll be so fun watching my husband have fun with his friends until we have to move in less than a month ?
I found out that my PTO has been miscalculated since October. I have 19 hours more than I thought I did. I'm saving up for our family vacation this summer.
I made some delicious chicken fajitas for dinner. I was craving them so bad. Now I'm waiting for DD to go to sleep so I can enjoy my milkshake by myself. ??
These positive comments are not as fun as the negative ones..
I'm kidding.
My husband is getting an awesome bonus on the 20th and we are buying new furniture! I'm super excited and can't wait. I love anything interior decorating!
I got out today .. all day was shopping, food and fun! Also I shaved my legs ... and i had a goo night sleep last night. Doesn't get better than that ?
I am having such a blast watching my dd (age 15) love on her new baby brother. She is completely enamored with him! I'm thrilled because she wasn't really happy that I got pregnant and I was expecting lots of jealousy.
The only (and first ever) female director-general of my organisation had a 15 min talk with me yesterday inviting me to apply for a vacant job in her directorate (justice and home affairs). I'm feeling super honoured!!!
AND when I told her I am 6 weeks pregnant but hadn't told anyone yet she said it won't make a difference for my application.
It's 5:30 here, and I just got up to pee for the third time tonight. Usually it's 5-6 times. So that's cool. Also not the burning pit of lava that has become my norm (oh the heartburn, furnace-like skin, boob sweat, human kicking me in my organs and ribs, cuddly husband, fan not freaking blowing hard enough...)
Day before easter Sunday dh came home with a new 2015 toyota corolla for me! By August I will have all the required courses I need to enter the Respiratory Therapist program! We are all happy and healthy!
SO finally got a good job this week making $600 a week instead of $300. It might not seem like much but it's a big difference for us and it'll get us back on our feet! We are all caught up on bills and have enough to pay in $700 towards taxes Monday. ??
We just finished the CrossFit Open a few weeks ago and this is my first year doing CrossFit and I made it on the wait list to join our local games competition ? I mean I probably won't get to compete lol but I'm pretty proud to have made it to the wait list, especially since I've only done CrossFit since the end of September!
I planted some seeds (beans peas cucumber) and they are actually growing!! For the first time I'm starting a garden so that we will have fresh veggies!
I went shopping with my mom and dd2 this morning and i finally got new glasses. Even though SO has to work all weekend it's all overtime so Friday's paycheck will be a nice one :)
It's also super nice out today and we're going to my parents for dinner later.
I had Mid-terms this week so it started off a little rough BUT, hard work pays off! (I'm a full time college student)
I'm a Mom of 4 (ages 13, 6, & 9mth old twins). I currently have a 3.7 GPA and I'm so proud of myself. I've had many sleepless nights but, I wouldn't take it back for anything.
*My family is also healthy and happy. To me, that is what truly matters the most. ?
God bless you ALL! ?? I wish all of you the best and all the happiness this world can give you.
I got a new job, my babies started a new daycare and I move into the house that I will now own in a week!!! God has blessed me so much this year already! I pray that you all receive his blessing also!!
Im on a road trip with my husband and his side of the family, we traveled to SC to go to his friends BBQ and visit his sisters who live down here . We're all having an absolute blast and its great any time we travel together. Its a much needed getaway and I'm so grateful and happy right now.?
My baby girl is getting better with sharing, I finally have an awesome friend in the new state I live in! Hubbys commission on top of his hourly is looking great specially with it being 1900 in commission alone in July! We're gonna be ahead of our bills be able to fix the car and since we'll be ahead in bills we'll be able to get our winter tires on sale still ??
Oh and I'm in my fertility window so if we conceive we'll also be able to afford our home birth due to our insurance being able to cover some of it ??
We rotated our bedroom and it's more spacious and looks great. I'm coping better. DH and I have been in the gym since January and are feeling better health wise. I fit one of my old jeans since losing weight. I got a new car.
My son is two weeks old tomorrow! This is such an amazing time in my life. I'm cherishing and enjoying every single moment, even the sleep deprivation ?❤️ omg I'm so in love with my baby.
Didn't scream at my husband in front of our baby this morning when he tried arguing for the 100th time in 12 years over the in laws... Despite saying, again for the 100th time, that it was all sorted. So fed up of that s*** ?
We went up to New York (sunny side queens to be exact) yesterday to celebrate my nieces 2nd bday and see my sister and brother in laws new place (just moved from Brooklyn). We had a beautiful day at the park for her party. And got to visit with my sis which I love. But my son got car sick a few times throughout the ride. 3 hour drive. But all in all it was a good day
I bought a stroller yesterday and went for a nice walk with DD while DF fished? it's also going to be in the 70's this week so I got the stroller at the perfect time!
Had a jam packed day of showing houses in a rural area with no cell reception yesterday. Literally no time to pee or eat in between appointments. My husband manned the phone at home, took messages, and then surprised me on the road while I was driving from one appointment to another to give me a homemade sandwich and bottled water. I would have never made it through the day without him and I am so grateful for his thoughtful help.
My son always says maaaaaaaaaam and today he said dadad... Probably just that he's just throwing sounds together considering he's not even 8 months yet.. But it made me so happy because he said it when he was reaching for his dad, and it made his dad so happy. It makes me happy to see them bond, and watch my son grow and learn new things! He's been crawling, but occasionally slips.. Lately he's been crawling like a pro and sitting up from a crawling position. It's so bittersweet! I love watching him grow, but hate that it's happening so fast!
Also, we went to the park for the first time yesterday since it's starting to warm up, and his dad took him down the slide and on the swings, LO loved it! I was so happy. Then I seen an older man across the park staring at me. He eventually got up and walked passed me and said to cherish it because before I could blink, he'd be grown up and playing on the swings himself. I knew it would happen fast, but hearing it from an older gentleman who had grown kids and grown grandchildren, really made it more of a reality.
Sorry for the long comment, I had a lot to rave about!
Last week I was diagnosed with PND, my SO has been so supportive and now understands I don't mean to be a moody batch. He's also started helping more with DS :) I'm on antidepressant now and I'm starting to feel a lot better, try my best to get out the house every day even if it's just for a short walk.
