Sometimes I think our bodies need a break  So, if you have any good recipes, give em to me!

The best vegetarian cookbooks I have are both by Nava Atlas, and they are The Family Vegetarian, and The 5 Ingredient Vegetarian. SO GOOD. A lot of recipes in there. If you were just going to eat fish you would a pesco-vegetarian! That's my goal. We don't eat meat hardly at all, so I don't think the transition will be hard.
By the way, thank you so much for sharing Emma's story with me.

This is a little earlier than I would have expected based on the 11/30 date but I guess we'll see what happens. I may be the only one - but I'm looking forward to having her around. I miss good sex. I'm hoping it makes everything better like it did after ds1!!! Though with him, I EP'd and didn't get it back until 9 months pp and this kid nurses around the clock and it might be back...  :

I got my period back, full force about 2 weeks ago. I was SO thrilled.

My DD is like clockwork. I lay her down every night at 7 pm. She wakes up between 2-3 am, and at 4-5 am, and then is up for the day at 6-7

: , but then goes back down between 7-8 for 45 minutes, and then again between 9-10. Then a nap at 1-2, and sometimes a nap at 4 depending on how long the afternoon nap was (if it was 2 hours, which it RARELY is, she won't take a 4pm nap).

I haven't acted on it, but it frightens me nonetheless. Dd1 is a nonstop tornado. If she's not talking my ear off, then she's getting into something. I managed to vacuum my living room today just before she woke from her nap and she dumped the bowl of cat food on the carpet. She does stuff like that constantly. Earlier today she got the pepper shaker off the counter, opened the lid and dumped the freshly filled contents onto the train table. Where was I? Just making lunch. The baby won't nap, which is just another thing on the list. It doesn't make me mad at her. I do feel overwhelmed by trying to meet all these needs, and I am just screaming inside "What about me?!?" I actually vented some of that out in the laundry room (in the garage). I just felt the need to yell and I had to walk away for a few minutes. Of course I switched out the laundry while I was out there. Can't even just let out some frustrations without multi-tasking.
The finances. The sister-in-law. The state of the house. The mile long to do list. And the constant "I need this, I need that" from everyone including dh. He keeps saying "How about some Steven and Tanya time?" and I look at him like he just asked me to go bungee jumping. AF is definitely here. It's not bright red, but it's heavier now. Maybe that is what's making all this feel like I'm in a pressure cooker. I'm carrying my Rescue Remedy around the house with me this afternoon.
I knew you guys would lend an ear, so to speak. Thanks for that. Really and truly.
I  you all.

s... I am so sorry that you are having all of this happen at once! Isn't that the way of it? Don't worry, for every day like this, for every sleeplessness night, you are one day closer to a good day, and a full night's rest.
