Happy hump day! What does everyone have planned for the day?
We have a chiropractor appointment followup from E's tongue/lip tie revision this morning and a trip to Costco to return a box of diapers and pick up more pull ups for DS. Daycare asked us to start sending the pull ups since they have been working on potty training and of course I had just stocked up on several boxes of diapers!
My massively pregnant self has the toddler today, and of course he's in a mood. Lately he's been "dada"'s shadow so he's pissed to be home with me. He really hasn't eaten much this morning but whatever I figure he'll eat the he's hungry.
I'm going to take him outside and let him run himself silly, because I can't deal with him.
Today is my first solo day. We are going to our first MOMS Club event today, Toddler Time on the Green. Hopefully that wears DS1 out enough to take a long nap. I have lots to do at nap time.
I woke up early to get showered and ready. G and I are fed and dressed. Declan is stirring so he should be up and ready to party shortly.
We had a fairly decent night last night. I gave the baby her first bath which was just adorable even though she hated it. Today my toddler is have a fun morning out with grandma so I can relax!

Good morning! I'm planning to do some cleaning today and my mom & I will probably do some cooking.
Baby had a decent stretch of sleep last night so I feel pretty rested, considering. My mom keeps trying to get me to nap each day, but I have so much nervous energy during the day so I have a hard time resting. Of course then I'm an exhausted wreck by 7 pm, haha.

We have so many people coming into town this week. We had DH's best friend and his family over for dinner last night. Their kids are the same age as ours, so that was nice. DD is in daycare today so E and I are going to have a quiet relaxing day, then to my parents for dinner so E can meet my grandmother. I'm pumped I don't have to cook!
Hanging out at home until it's time to go check out the rest of the newborn pictures. So excited to see them!
The Infantino Mei Tai and LILLEbaby carriers I ordered will be here today. I'm excited to try them out and see what I think.
I love the infantino mei tai. So versatile. It was the first carrier I bought and will likely be the last to leave. I've used on newborn ds and now as a toddler, front and back carries. Not bad for 30 bucks.

LadyNymeria New carriers are so fun! Btw, I really liked my Infantino mei tai with zombieboy. Not the fanciest carrier, but comfortable and reasonably easy to use. It would have gotten more use if he hadn't hated being worn.
@snuff9861 sorry your toddler is having a moment. Also, hope you're not pregnant soon.
I'm just over hear working on getting Zombiegirl off the nipple shield. She latches without it, which is great, but she's still much more efficient at getting milk with the shield than without.

I'm interested to know what you think of the lillebaby. The ktan has been driving me crazy this week and feels super loose now so I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on a lillebaby based on everything I read about it.
We've got baby music for the toddler at nine and the two week peds visit right after. Baby has definitely been dealing with gas issues and I'm not sure if there's something wrong with the full lip nursing blisters, hope the ped can help me with my questions.

@snuff9861, thekatezombie - Yea for $30 I figured it was worth a shot!!
jennybeans - I'll let you know what I think. I'm worried it might be too bulky for me since I wasn't a fan of the Ergo I tried on, but with Prime it was free shipping and returns if need be so why not try it out.

I am working through Js laundry. His homecoming has been delayed, again. His sodium was low this morning so they are keeping him longer not sure how much. I am incredibly frustrated and sad. I know I should be grateful to have another day to put stuff together but really I rather just have him home and take twice as long to get the little things done. Does anyone know if its safe to sanitize stuff when under a water boil notice? They are doing work to our water system in the park sonee have to boil drinking water for the next three days. Im assuming since you drop the bottles and things in after the water has started boiling that its safe to start sanitizing stuff now but im not sure.
I think I overdid and am having possible ligament pain. Only it's more in my crotch area. It hurts to sit up sometimes, and it hurts to pee. I think I'll quit picking up my toddler for a bit. cbowl how is the bleeding today?
Grandma and I are going to take both girls to the park in a bit, it's 80 and gorgeous. She has to leave tomorrow morning for a funeral and come back Friday night for 3 more days. Luckily we are going to take DD to daycare both days.

We had A's 2 week appt yesterday. He's up a pound from when we were sent home and above birth weight. We're very happy to have a good check up after being told we had to go to the hospital at our last one.
The peds office is near a shopping center so we had dinner at Cheesecake Factory afterwards. I had seared ahi and the best blood orange margarita. It was heaven!

DH and I touched base on our new fire evacuation plan now that we have two kids so I thought I'd remind everyone here to do the same. It's helpful for us to plan ahead of time who is responsible for making sure which child gets out of the house. In our case, DH will take the toddler and I'm responsible for the baby.
