H was up even earlier than usual today but the silver lining is that it's not even 8 and he's down for his first nap. And it's just me and him at home so I'm debating if I want to be productive or lazy.
Thanks to your advice on fb, we got all packed *with room to spare.* Babe slept through the night, pooped right before we left, and we left somewhat on time. Just got coffee for the road. We may actually pull this off. Woo!
Now I just have to survive a week off schedule and with the in-laws.
We just got a 2+ hour nap in which I was both lazy AND productive...watched Grey's on DVR and Christmas shopped online. Now we're heading in to town to do some more shopping with my mom.
Went grocery shopping for all my thanksgiving stuff on the way home from work. Woah, crazy. But SO MUCH BETTER than if I waited until later. Just finished baking my second baked good for the bake sale tomorrow (why do I volunteer to do these things??) and now I'm finally heading to bed... I actually feel fairly normal and kind of want to stay up by I know that would be a bad plan...
I took the kids for a long drive because I wanted to get out of the house. Our usual go to place is the mall, but it's already getting super busy. No thanks to big crowds. I'll likely avoid the mall for every weekend leading up to Christmas.
I posted our Christmas pictures on fb. My MIL commented on a few. And apparently forgot how to spell DD's name. She spelled it like Emilia. So that irrationally annoyed me.

People on both sides of the family constantly type out Bobbie instead of Bobby, even though I correct it every time. Growing up, some of my family used Katy for me instead of Katie. Idk what's wrong with people.
I just made enchiladas and they smell AHHHHMAZING. So hungry. My brother is coming tonight. Potentially after I'm in bed. And I'm working the bake sale tomorrow so I really won't see him much before he leaves at noon. But he said he's been missing his niece and nephew so much that he just wants to see them for a little bit ❤️

Night #2 in the hotel went MUCH better. DD slept in her pnp for almost half of the night and then slept in bed with us. DS slept very well so that made for a restful night for all. 🙌🏻
Now one more night and we can get up and head home!! I can't wait.
DS loved Paw Patrol today. It was cute and neat. DD also tolerated it very well. She's been such a trooper this whole trip. Right now we just got to a restaurant on a fancy pants lake to have supper with a couple friend of H's and they have a 6 week old baby. Our babies are sleeping in the backseat while we sit in the parking lot waiting for them.

Enchiladas sound so good right now!!
They were awesome and I'm sooooo full. Probably not as good as fancy dinner though!

I've heard MIL call herself Mom to W 4x since he's been born. At first I thought it was a mistake. But today.... and then I told my mom about it and she was like "ummm NO. That's not a mistake." My mom has been around him way more and has never done that. My mom has had kids more recently than MIL also. WTAF.

That's SOO weird. She's not saying something else? Has your H heard it?

Hi guys! Super busy day today. This morning I was running around like crazy because we had H's party early this afternoon. Her party was great, she had a blast. Then we came home, let the girls nap for a bit and then headed to my sister's house for a get together. I have to work on thanksgiving so it was kind of an early celebration but no thanksgiving food except my pumpkin pie I made. I was up till 2am getting the pie baked and finishing some things up for the party so I'm beat and going to go to bed soon.
S has a terrible diaper rash from the omnicef. She has been pooping A LOT, like every time I check her diaper she's got some poop in it. It's gotten bad enough that it started bleeding earlier today I need to get her some naked time and a baking soda bath but there was no time today. Tomorrow is going to be pretty busy but we should have time in the evening.

If he has he hasn't said anything. I know she's saying mom. Coming from the woman who threw a hissy fit that I wouldn't call her mom or mommy when MH and I first got married.

6:30 again. This is apparently just his wake up time which I can handle, but kid needs to understand what a weekend is! We're going to Santa today!!! Santa again tomorrow too! Today is formal, tomorrow is pyjamas! Baby gate between living room and kitchen is up, I feel slightly less worried he'll eat the dogs food and supplements

Thanks chocolate. It went pretty good yesterday, just a little bit of screaming towards the end. It took a while to get him down in the hotel, but then he slept through. We'll see what today brings. We are stopping at a zoo on the way so that'll be fun. Glad you guys had a good time on your trip and the second night went better!
britterrss that is bizarre and would drive me insane.
Apparently all my IRL friends have their babies a week and a half early, born a lovely 6 pounds in a quick easy labor, after gaining an average amount of weight themselves. Which is wonderful for them. Happy for them. But sad (yes, petty) that I have no one to commiserate with. I'm the smallest of the bunch, yet I gained 40 lbs and had the overdue, long labor, which resulted in a 8+ lb baby. They look at me like I have two heads when I say labor and delivery is awful and I'm done after one.
I know this is petty/awful of me, and I would never wish a hard labor on someone, but, you know, I just wish I had someone here who understands.
Okay. Rant over. Blame the road trip for making me crazy.

You can commiserate with my BFF She had a horrible long labor after daaaays of prodromal labor, and gained 50+lbs on her tiny frame with her 8.5lb baby. You're like the same person. She was also done after one. Until that one turned 2. Now her due date is tomorrow with number 2. And all signs point to her having a similar experience (and she constant laments about wwwhhhhhhhyyyyy is she doing this again?). Your friends aren't the norm.

Morning ladies. We have snow here, it snowed a bit more over night but if it warms up a little this afternoon it should disappear.
Dh made me a hot chocolate this morning, then asked where the Tim tams are. Here I thought he was doing me a favour. Haha. We almost ate the whole package doing Tim tam slams, my belly hurts a little now but they are so good.
Gemma got another goose egg so she is sleeping now.

I had to google Tim tams, but they look good! What's a tim tam slam?

britterrss , that's so strange. So strange. Did you ever have the "What do you want your grandkids to call you?" conversation? What did she say then?
tkford216 , I'm so impressed by your well traveling baby. Hope it stays like that! trtlcrzy , horray to a good party!
We had a busy day yesterday, so we're hanging low today. We might go get our Christmas tree since we need to take it down by December 18th for traveling reasons.
I got a beaaaauuutiful wrap yesterday and now I just want to spend the day watching videos and trying different styles! I predict baby will cooperate for many one or two of these.

Google's description: As such, they know that the best way to eat one is to bite off opposite corners of the biscuit, use it as a straw to slurp up a hot beverage like Milo malted hot chocolate, and then pop the whole warm, melty treat into their mouth in one go. That, in essence, is the Tim Tam Slam

That's why it's so frustrating, lol. I know that my experience is more the norm for first timers, yet everyone around me is like "Oh that was a breeze." Psh.

I wasn't crazy overdue, but 25 hrs of labour, 35 extra pounds and an 8 pounds baby with foreceps, episiotomy and 3rd degree tearing. I feel ya but at the same time my friend had hers in 40hrs resulting in a csection and needed to resuscitate the baby. I feel grateful. And maybe a second will be faster, but at least I know I can do a long one if I have to. You can't compare pregnancies and labours. They're all different just like you can't compare bodies and personalities.
