Better!
I feel so much better today! I guess those prenatal vitamins are just not meant for a delicate flower like myself. I am a whole new person!
For the curious, I’ve only taken over the counter prenatals. With Erik I used GNC. With this baby I’ve used both Safeway and Target brands. I have an OB appointment tomorrow so I’ll discuss the situation and see what solutions we come up with. Maybe something with a whole lot less iron.
We had a crazy day over here. We had a Halloween party out at the park but hardly anyone came because it was sort of drizzling for five minutes. It ended up being fun and the weather was fine. Of course, I don’t mind it being a little chilly. People here don’t seem to like the cold.
Then it was home for the project of the year. Ugh.
We have a preschool Halloween party tomorrow and are supposed to take “spooky” stuff. I get Family Fun magazine since WonderTime folded (booo! I miss WonderTime) and they had a little section of Halloween fun stuff. I’m taking forked eyeballs. I dipped donut holes in vanilla candy coating, stuck a chocolate chip in the middle, then used red decorator frosting to make them look bloodshot. They turned out pretty cool, but it took forever. I’m not sure how I’m supposed to transport them. I didn’t think that far ahead, I guess.
I don’t know if I mentioned this, but Erik has been wetting his pants again. Argh! I thought I had him fixed because I told him if he kept peeing in his pants he’d have to start wearing diapers again. That worked for about a week, but today after our play date at the park I noticed his pants were wet. Grrrrr!
We had a long talk about the diapers and he had lots of reasons why I couldn’t buy him diapers. When we got home, I had to run to Target so I told Mike I was going to buy diapers for Erik.
I think just saying it to Mike might have cured the problem. He promises he won’t do it again, so we shall see I guess. I really don’t want to have to buy a whole pack of diapers just to make a point.
I’m not sure humiliating my kid is the best way to fix the problem, but then I’m not sure it would really humiliate him. I wouldn’t make him go to school with a diaper on. It would just piss him off, I think. I just hope he straightens up and we don’t even need to go there. The whole thing comes down to laziness. He’d rather play than stop for three seconds to pee. He doesn’t wet the bed, so surely he should be able to not wet his pants.
