DH took DS1 to daycare and I managed to grab another hour of sleep this morning because L wasn't up yet. Yay!
Shopping today- Costco and Once Upon A Child. I should really go through DS1's clothes but if I get a few pairs of pants and some sweaters, that should get him through the fall.
I've been sleeping on the couch for 5 weeks so H can sleep in peace because he gets up early and is under a lot of pressure at work. Today he said it feels like I'm a roommate and not a wife. I'm simultaneously really sad and guilty, and angry because I'm doing it for him and he helps with the baby so little and never at night.
At work. My boss popped in to say hello this morning, then told me to take a half day because he is seeing patients all day. Win!
I plan to leave around lunch time and go pick up an order I had shipped to the Carter's store, then go take a nap. No point in going to DC to pick up the kids because J will be in the middle of nap time and ain't no way I will be disturbing that.

Dh tells me to put the baby back in her crib after I feed her early in the morning. I usually just fall asleep on the couch and let her sleep in the pnp play so we don't wake ds and dh at 5am so I can get a few more hours. He says he misses me in the morning.

My arm is on fire today. My dad did my Harry Potter themed nursing tattoo. He did the outline Monday night but it got really late so we had to do the color last night. Tattooing over tender skin was not fun. I bruised a bit.

Sorry you're in pain, but I hope we get to see the finished artwork!!

So DS finally tolerates his Mamaroo as of this week. But it can't be on. And the mobile has to have the polka dot patterned bulby thing closest to him. Stars or stripes? Fuck this shit, the world is imploding. LOL what a weirdo.

I have my OBgyn check today. Not looking forward to carting two kids to the doctor. I'm going to do my makeup so that I at least look good while all the shit hits the fan.
katelou, I'm sorry. This may fall under "Men are dense and need to be spoken to like children." Do you think you guys can talk about it? Like do the whole for me to feel more like your wife I need you to do "X". He may just not realize it?

I feel your pain. Ouch. And color is the worst. When it's healed more we need pics!!!

We went and looked at S's daycare again yesterday and ask more questions. I like the teacher and the room. I wish the center were a bit cheaper but in this area you get what you pay for.
I accepted a job today. They're okay with a November start date and I'll only be going back at 4 days (32 hours) for now. Once the baby is older and/or I stop pumping I'll go up to 5 days (40 hours) a week. I'm happy to have something good to go back to which will be so important for giving the girls the things they want and need in life but a bit anxious about putting DD2 in daycare at 16 weeks old. DH stayed home with DD1 until she was 7 months old so this will be very different for us.
An old coworker popped up today on Facebook messenger asking how old DS was. Then asked for my number so he could call and ask me something. I'm 90% sure he is just trying to sell something.

I might just pretend I forgot to answer.
I hate that. I've gotten three messages on FB that were "Congratulations on your baby and Ohhh BTW I'm selling 31/Lulu Roe/Rodan+Fields/Jamberry/Whatever"

The worst is when they say "Hey did you know if you join my team you'd have more money and time to enjoy your new family more!"

Ugh!!! I hate that and it's frankly really offensive to act like you want to reconnect with me in order to sell. I'd be more inclined to reply to a message like "hey, I know we haven't spoken in 17 years but I'm trying to build this sales business and if you're interested in our stuff, I'd appreciate you buying or hosting a party." The fakey fakey small talk messages enrage me.

There was a girl on my FB this summer just going on and on about her "business" (Arbonne- pretty sure she just sells it and isn't the CEO! Ha!) growing and how it was paying for a property she just bought, and here's pictures of the new property and blah blah blah... well didn't the deal fall through. Also, if this "business" is so great, why is she still working full time elsewhere?

Super annoyed. I just ran some errands, but my in-laws wanted E to stay home. So I said ok but he needs a nap. He will easily fall asleep in the car so if I leave him, you'll have to walk him to sleep. They say no problem. I come home to a wide awake baby. So now I'm nursing him and will need to fight with him to get to sleep. If you volunteer to help, please follow through.

I've noticed several "it works!" and beachbody people starting to follow me on Instagram. I'm just waiting for the "I love your page, you should try my amazing product to help lose the baby weight!"
My toenails are so long I keep forgetting to cut them. Every time I get a glance at them and remember I end up getting sidetracked. Story of my life with 3 kids.
