@uclamegham I feel for you. Since Mh'd car accident, his back and neck have been so sore. He can't carry much or do a lot for F so it has been so tiring.
cocopuff yay for date night! MH does the same think because MIL spends everyday cleaning house. All day. I've never seen a house so clean, so it's almost not worth them coming over the babysit! sandj918 omg so cute!! She looks so sweet!
We are in croup and roid rage hell over here. This medication is seriously fucking him up. I've never seen him so hungry and angry in my life. And he decided at 2 last night that he must be held while sleeping. I lost it last night on MH when he came home from work because yesterday was so rough too, and he took F downstairs and 4 and held him until i woke up at 830 (with a feeding at 630 because he can't go longer than 2 hours without eating right now, it sucks)
My friend is due in August and wanted to come over this weekend and learn how to take care of a baby. I'm afraid if she sees what's going down right now she will be completely freaked out.

Hugs andtheheartbreakers i totally relate to this. Pretty much of all our fights since B has been born has been about time and schedule management. MH just assmumes I will take care of anything baby related.
I'm also annoyed that I'm always the one that has to keep tabs on diaper stashes, baby food, her laundry, her toys, her gear, her pretty much everything. I swear if I left him alone with her I'm not a 100% sure he would remember she now eats solids.
ETA: he will do whatever I ask him to but it annoys me that I have to ask for the most basic thing like a diaper change.

Hair pats. Ds1 had croup and terrible roid rage when I was 38 weeks pregnant. I was convinced it was going to send me into labor (hah, still had another nearly 3 weeks). Hope he's better soon!
ntaylor989 Will he still want to give a gift?? If someone is going to be so tacky as to set up a gofundme for their wedding, all wedding etiquette goes straight out the window.
So MH usually does the grocery shopping for our family, and typically takes at least one of the kids with him. Every week he gets multiple flattering comments about how he's "super dad" etc. Just for being a parent and going about his business. Why does everyone act like men are inept caregivers?

Funny story......
So I'm walking into the backstage entrance before graduation WEARING MY GRADUATION ROBE & HOOD and the security guard says to me (in all seriousness not joking) 'Woah - where do you think you're going?!? This entrance is for members of the ceremony only.'
I literally turned to him and snarkily said, 'No way - I just though this was a Harry Potter convention. Isn't that why we're all wearing robes?'
Our new oven was installed today, so our house is officially ready to list. It annoy me to have to buy a new oven just to turn around and sell the house, but whatever... return on our investment and all that.

Double oven. Fridge with all kids of compartments. Everything really is bigger in Texas.
Oh that is the fridge DH NEEDED to have (it's moving with us). It hooks up to wifi and has a touch screen. It's the first version of Samsungs "smart fridge" (the one with the huge screen on it now that they are advertising the crap out of). That middle drawer is a fridge drawer with an adjustable temperature so you can use it for snacks or drinks. Ours is full of beer and cheese.

I spent the whole day doing stuff for my SIL shower tomorrow. It ended up taking me so much time and costing me a lot of money. This is the third shower I'm throwing and my freaking last. I hate that in my group of friends I am the de facto event organizer.

Today was ok. MH finally left around 9, and my sister came over and we actually had a decent day.
We went out and bought a shitload of chocolate, and chips, and cake. We're going to stuff our faces and do face masks and paint our nails. My baby sis is getting married tomorrow!
L is at his first daycare friend's birthday party. I had DH take him because it was at 6:30 pm a half hour away. This is good for DH to get out and meet other parents, though he's probably hanging out on his phone.
Now that I've gotten S temporarily sleeping in his crib, I have the house to myself! I'm enjoying a little wine and ice cream.
I'll be doing soccer and yoga with L tomorrow so daddy and S will get lots of time together.

So I'm leaving to Colombia tomorrow morning without MH or O. The doctors said my grandma doesn't have very long and we needed to go there asap. I'm getting very anxious about this trip, even though I know is for the best not to take O since I will be in hospitals and there's no one to watch him, I'm still freaking out. I am leaving my baby for a whole freaking week. I was getting him ready to go to bed and started ugly crying, I am leaving my house at 5:30am to head to the airport so I won't see him awake anymore.

Hugs!! He will be ok! And he will be so happy to see you when you return. It will be way harder on you than it will be on him. Hang in there

So many hugs this is definitely a hard trip to take. Hope your grandma will go peacefully. Much love and safe travels

Huge huge hugs. I wish your grandmother and your family as much peace as possible. O will be fine when you are gone and will be so happy when you come back.

You ladies are truly amazing. I will never thank you enough. I am currently waiting to board and will go straight from the hospital to the airport. I am traveling with my cousins, so I'm glad I'm not doing this alone.
H & I had some amazeballs sex last night! I know I went to bed happy
SIL was discharged from the hospital yesterday. They found an open extended stay room for her to have so she can stay with her baby. She gave us her login & password at the hospital and we can see her baby in the NICU on a live camera feed. DS was excited to see his new cousin. She wants me to take her out shopping for a few things since we never really got to do it before her baby arrived.
After a sweltering hot day yesterday, today is really cool out.
After two glorious nights of only 2 wake ups per night, we're back to 6 wake ups a night. At least it's the weekend, I need more coffee. Our city does a street fair on Memorial Day weekend, we're going to head there once DH gets out of bed.
It's been so hot and humid here we've had to open all our windows now everything is covered in a layer of pollen that is making both kids sick. We are at a no win situation be hot and sticky or have horrible allergies. I hate complaining about hot weather since we don't get it often but ugh I could do without the pollen. DD woke up in a good mood so I think her double ear infection is finally subsiding. DS wants to go on a boat ride so we might do that today. I scored a huge deal at target on one of those 9 cube organizers so I need to set that up today and organize the toys that have taken over the house.
