Christmas Eve Eve!

[apunicorn]

How's it going everyone?

[rivers and roads]

I had to check the date when I saw that title! Woah!

X has been up 4 times a night for almost two weeks. I'm dying.

H and I might try to sneak away to go into the city for a day date. We haven't been on a date that wasn't to a wedding since May (and that was our only one!): I'm hoping X isn't a total hot mess so I feel okay leaving him with my mom. I really need a break from him.

Is this leap awful for anyone else?

[apunicorn]

Yikes 4 times rivers and roads? I'm so sorry X takes a bottle right? So your mom can feed him while you're out on the town? V has been sleeping just fine (knock on wood...) but has been SO HUNGRY. Milk, solids, she's just an eating machine.

In other news I think I'm going to the doctor today for a suspected abscess. Mastitis is better, fever is down but righty has a giant hard, red, painful lump and it's scaring me. It's gotten larger since I started the antibiotics. I hope they don't have to stick a needle in it, but it's a possibility.

I am so tired. I need to sleep for Christmas. He was up 4 times last night.
The house is a disaster too, but I'm waiting for the Coffee to kick in before tackling any of thay

Good luck at the doctor. I hope you figure out what the issue is and get some relief.

Morning! Today is cleaning day at my house. I've put it off as long as I possibly could. Lots of clutter that I need to find a home for. I'm also going to try to run to target at some point today. My mom lives out of town and wants something they specifically have for my niece so I am trying to be nice and pick it up for her. Ulta is conveniently right next door and I have a coupon code that expires tomorrow so I will probably run over there too.

[trtlcrzy]

That sounds terrible apunicorn. I hope you don't have an abscess. Keep us posted please.

DD must be growth-spurting again. She had 8 ounces in the middle of the night last night for the second time this week. And the night before, when she slept through the night, she chugged 6 ounces immediately when she woke up. She usually isn't big on breakfast, and averages about 2 ounces in the morning.

We just had Christmas morning with my mom. We did presents at my dad's last night. Now I need to declutter my house to fit this stuff in.

We're meeting up with my BFF soon for lunch before heading home. I can't wait! It's been 2 years since I saw her.

Can't believe it'll be Christmas Eve tomorrow

[tkford216]

When I woke up this morning, still in a haze, I was like, omg I can see, I'm cured! And then reality hit. Ah shit, I forgot to take out my contacts. That's why my eyes hurt.

Oh no!! I hope you get in ASAP. That doesn't sound like you should mess around. I hope you get relief quickly

Ok glad we are not the only ones with a growth spurt at this time!

I gave her cheese last night and she licked the tray to make sure she got every tiny bit in her belly. (Also, she loves cheese).

apunicorn, that sounds awful. I hope they can clear it for you without much pain. You've had such a rough go. Maybe swim can adopt you- you'd fit right in with her family's luck this fall!

Does anyone have a good yeast roll recipe? I wanna try and make some from scratch, but I have frozen ones as a back up just in case they don't turn out.

tkford216 maybe?? She's been making a lot of bread lately

[kellybenelly83]

Ok. I'm getting up to clean, I swear.

YES. Look up dilly rolls from Bon appetit. You can omit the dill. I make them every holiday and they are super easy and so tasty!

Definitely clingy over here too, and lots of yelling. Last night was the first night we didn't co-sleep out of desperation in probably 2 weeks. I'm hoping this is the start of the light at the end of the tunnel

I have no idea how to make yeast rolls. I'm very new to this bread thing.

Thanks, I'll check it out!

All I've eaten today is brown butter rice krispie treats.

My MIL is a fucking psycho! Apparently me commenting on an article in response to a woman saying how she was as a mother in law and I said I wish more MILs had your mindset. My MIL saw that and throws a fit to MH about me saying she is an evil MIL.


What?

Why get so in a tizzy over such a broad comment? I posted plenty of anti-Trump/republican stuff and didn't hear my parents crying that I hated them. If I comment on a deadbeat dad piece does that mean I think MH is a lowsy father?

Maybe it's because she IS A BAD MIL and knows it? 🤔

We got the typical baby boy Christmas outfit, white collar shirt and red snowman sweater vest with black corduroys, from a family friend. I thought it looked cheesy and ridiculous. But we just put it on him and omg it's fucking adorable he is never taking it off.

[kellybenelly83]

Oof, going to rent movies and Dh is dragging his heels. I wonder if we will get out of the house before bedtime at this rate. Kiddo is so hungry today. My boobs have been through the ringer in the last 24 hrs.

[trtlcrzy]

So, I baked my pumpkin pie and made some dough for rolls that a girl on my other BMB gave me the recipe for. I don't know if I'm cut out for roll making, lol. I made a huge mess and there is flour everywhere. Then I cut my finger on the pumpkin can when I was putting the rest into a container. The dough has to rise for a little while and then I'll see where we are at.
