Yay for the Weekend!

[HelgaHuffle]

What are you up to?

[obscurereference]

We are doing nothing this weekend. Well. We are trying to get well. By doing nothing lol. The baby was a disaster again last night. So congested she can't keep the paci in her mouth and pissed as hell that she can't keep the paci in her mouth. She was completely exhausted but couldn't sleep. Poor thing.

H and I are still sick. DD1 seems to be on the mend. She slept pretty well. DS is apparently going to avoid this plague altogether. Lucky kid! (Knock on wood.)

Hope you ladies are having better weekends than us!!

[kida]

obscurereference I hope you all get better soon. I can commiserate with the sick baby. I has been congested and more so at night..definitely makes night time a little harder.

::hugs:: @tifga I'm sorry ur bil is being like that. I can imagine how frustrating that might be.

As for me, we're going to visit h's cousin and then dinner with them tonight. They have a daughter a few months older than DD so it should be fun watching them play.

I hope everyone has a good weekend!

Hugs @tifga.

H and I ran a killer 10K this morning (uphill the first 2.5 miles). Now we've spent almost 2 hours trying to get LO to take her first nap of the day

So far we've had breakfast at home, made a trip to Toysrus, had lunch, and done grocery shopping. Kids are napping now while we are watching Tyrant. I am trying to get rid of a headache.

We're at my parents' house while my dad changes the oil in my car. I'm trying to get R to nap but he's not interested.

I think when he eats a lot of food in the evening he sleeps worse. We were up every hour last night and there was lots of grunting. :/

Nothing exciting today except for going to get my nails done with my neighbor. I absolutely adore him, so I'm looking forward to it.

I finished packing for our trip tomorrow so now it's time to relax!

I had a very productive afternoon while MH and C were at a barbecue. Made three kinds of baby food and lactation cookies, and did some cleaning. I really hope C sleeps better tonight. MH and I were planning to have a date night in after C went to bed last night... instead we only saw each other in passing as we took turns with C, and once he finally stayed down for a few hours MH slept on the floor of the nursery just in case. Some date!! It seemed like C was maybe hitting the 9 month growth spurt early - he ate a TON yesterday and overnight - but he's eating normally today so who knows.

@tifga, I'm sorry. They are being really hurtful. Do you have to go? If it was my wedding I would absolutely want lil miss H there. Hugs!!

I've found an upside to staying home: I have gotten a large amount of laundry done! Everything clean is folded and I've got two loads of towels going. This is all extra laundry because my regular laundry day is tomorrow. I love clean laundry!

The baby has napped almost all day which is good because she really needed the sleep. We spotted another tooth so that adds to the fun of being sick!

[RoLoMa]

We went out for an early dinner at one of my favorite restaurants. I shared my food with M. He chowed down on poutine, seared scallops, and lobster mashed potatoes. I think he ended up eating like 1/2 a scallop. He loved everything. What a goof

Up until this last week he used to get super drowsy while nursing before bed. Now he pops off and gets super mad rather than snuggling in. The last two nights I have just put him in his crib because I can't deal with the whining and crying. He whines quietly for about 5 minutes and goes to sleep. Apparently he just wants to be left alone to go to sleep now. Fine kid, whatever. (Spoiler alert: it makes me kind of sad that he doesn't want snuggles before bed anymore)

[kida]

DoesItComeInPink good luck on the formula feeding I hope it works out this time around for you!

RoLoMa that's how I've gotten I to sleep since she was around 6 weeks old. One night I swaddled her and just laid her in her bassinet while she was drowsy but awake and she looked around quietly until she fell asleep. It's been that way for the most part every since. It is much easier but I always get my snuggles in around 5 am when she wakes up for a bit so I guess it evens out lol.

Hi all! We've had a crazy busy day that began at 6am and hasn't stopped since. H and I were supposed to pull an all night fishing trip but a few things happened so we called it quits at 1am with no fish. 😕 We are at my mom's and she has the baby in her room and told us to sleep in and she would tend to her in the morning. Twist my arm!

Sorry the fishing trip didn't quite pan out! Hope you got to sleep in today at least

We've been emailing back & forth with a potential new nanny, I think we will get a call set up for tonight. PLEASE let this pan out! I'm so ready to move on!

[thatgirlrachel]

geners, we slept until 10am! I can't remember the last time I slept that late. FX this nanny works out! I know you need it to!

[kida]

Good luck geners, I hope this nanny works out!

It's been kinda quiet on the board today..I hope that means everyone is having a wonderful time irl and too busy to check in!

I've had a pretty good day. Last night we went to a Spanish restaurant which is my favourite, and had some pretty good strawberry margaritas. Then we ended up staying with h's cousin and didn't go to bed until pretty late. Today we visited mil, that went pretty well, and now we're headed home and lo is sleeping on the way home. It's been a good weekend over here.

@tifga big hugs
kida things are usually pretty quiet around here now. We have a FB group now too, but it isn't crazy busy either.

[kida]

Aww that kinda makes me sad no Facebook here. I guess I can see why it's slowed down with all the littles to take care of lol.
