Happy Merry Christmas Eve

[swivelchair5]

DD woke up with her eye lashes coated in snot. Very festive.

lol ewww. I've been awake since DS woke up at 5:30, on the plus side I just finished my Christmas shopping. Well I have one more thing to do but it's a magazine subscription renewal that doesn't have to be submitted for another month, so I'm calling it good.

[kellybenelly83]

We had a 7am start which is really good for this kid, but 3 wake ups. So.....tired? Send coffee!
I'm not doing too much today, the past few years Christmas Eve we make homemade pizza and chill out, which is just fantastic. Tomorrow at my parents place with my sisters and nieces, Monday at dh's step moms and then NYE with his mom and family. Not too concentrated this year

Morning!

It's really dark and dreary here. Hopefully that will help X nap?
I have some wrapping and 2 last minute shopping things to do today. We have dinner with ILs tonight. I should probably try to see my dad at some point. Low key day and I'll try to keep It that way!

Happy Hanukkah and Christmas Eve

In-laws are coming to our house this morning for breakfast and to finish present opening. And we have to pack up and whatnot. Then we head up to our hometown, church with my dad and then Christmas Eve with his side (extended). Tomorrow morning we can chill for a bit, then we'll open presents and have breakfast at my mom's, then head to my grandma's for my mom's side's Christmas stuff the rest of the day. It's a packed couple of days.

That sounds busy! I hope B sleeps okay or at least remains in good spirits along the way.

Merry Christmas Eve! We also have a busy day. We are headed to my sister's house in an hour for brunch. Then home for naps/house cleaning. At 4 we head to GMIL's nursing home for FIL's extended family Christmas. After that we go to MiL's house for MIL's extended family Christmas. Oh and DH is working this morning and is supposed to get off work around noon, hopefully that's the case. My oldest sister was supposed to bring my mom back with her for brunch this morning but my mom claimed to be sick and apparently still didn't have all her presents bought. So now my sister is driving 3 hours then stopping at target to get the last couple things and then going to our other sister's house. I would be annoyed too.

Merry Christmas eve!

We actually won't be too busy. I took the kids to Walmart this morning, because everything will be closed the next 2 days, so I needed to stock up on my elixir of life: diet pepsi. DS fell asleep just as we got home so I put him in the crib for a nap. Now I'm trying to get DD to nap now even though she slept in until almost 8 lol.

This afternoon we're headed to FIL & SMIL's for snacks and such. H is at work until 5:30 today so he likely won't be able to make it to their house unless he gets off work early.

[tkford216]

He slept in until 940 this morning. So that at least makes up for last night. He'll get a 2 hour nap in the car on the way up at 1. Hopefully that's enough for him today.

Also, it's his last bit of breastmilk today. Freezer stash all gone. (We've just been doing a 4 oz bag each morning for breakfast.)

X is on a nap that's an hour and a half and counting... He hasn't napped past 20-30 minutes in almost 10days. It's a Christmas miracle!

[apunicorn]

swivelchair5 that made me snort. Poor girl.

trtlcrzy that sounds like a crazy day!! Fingers crossed your H can get home early.

[apunicorn]

Good morning! Just feeding V her 5-course breakfast and having a coffee. We are heading to my parents house during nap time to prevent the inevitable car meltdown.

Merry Christmas Eve! Just doing a quick check in. DS's birthday party last night went well! He's been busy checking out all his new things this morning and now we are off to MIL's to play with the cousins. DD will come back to nap after lunch but otherwise we'll probably be over there all day. SIL and her family go home tonight, and might leave a little early because we're supposed to get some nasty weather. Some things say 12-18 inches of snow but I've heard 20-25 as well! I'm so glad I have nowhere to go tomorrow.

[chocolate]

apunicorn I'm sorry for the abrupt nursing end. You've been through such a long exhausting road, you are amazing for sticking through it. V will be ok with the change and enjoy having your body to yourself for awhile again! Go buy some nice new bras!

Same here. Lunch was lentils, green beans, corn, then an entire Farley biscuit and he's still going.

Thanks chocolate!! I am pretty stoked about going bra-less and throwing the pump into storage

Impromptu dance party here. I popped over to pick up groceries, I came home and Dh sweats the kid pointed to the tv, then started his booty shake and grabbed DHs hand. He wanted his music videos! Lol

Yes. When I quit pumping it was weird at first, especially during weaning. But then it was AWESOME. Like, I'm currently wearing a normal person push-up bra. Fuck yea.

Morning all! Or afternoon actually. I slept in today It may or may not have been because I lost my shit on SO for not helping AT ALL over night with multiple wake ups when I called out of work to rest. So he took the kids at 6 and I slept until 10. Thank god.
2 batches of cookies done while it was raining (gross) and now C and I are going for a walk before L wakes up

[morwen]

DS slept for 3 hours in the car today and I got to read ''twas the night before Christmas with him so I'm calling it a good day.

[leahks77]

Tonight was the second night in a row that L sat up after nursing and pointed at her crib. I thought last night was a fluke but nope. SO said she has been doing that after he gives her a bottle at night when I'm working. So grown up 😭😭😭

[trtlcrzy]

Good evening. I am pooped. It's currently 10pm and I've been going, non-stop since about 7:15am. All the Christmas festivities went well. Both girls basically only had one nap, from 2:30-3:30ish, and behaved very well. I'm nursing S to sleep and as soon as she's done Santa will make his appearance and I'm going to bed. Tomorrow should be much more chill.

[tkford216]

YOU GUYS. MY MIL BOUGHT MY H PAJAMA PANTS FROM THE WOMENS SECTION.

She buys everyone pajamas to open on Christmas eve. It's their tradition. Well he put his on tonight and... they were a bit tight. And I'm like, those fit more like Womens pants, with a shorter crotch and all that. So we googled. And yes, yes indeed. I'm dying.

[tkford216]

On a random note, this was in my weekly baby email today.



Um, wrong. This kid definitely bites to show anger and frustration. Teeth come out when it's tantrum time.
