So far my Saturday is on the right path. We slept until 7:15 and I have taken a shower already this morning. 👌🏻 No official plans today, just going with the flow, but SIL is coming to town to MIL's so I'm sure we'll end up over there sometime so the kids can see each other and play. I think H is going fishing with his brother and cousin. His grandparents moved into assisted living this week/weekend so a lot of family is in town helping with that. I think the men got the moving portion done last night.
Tomorrow H is taking DS to the monster trucks and BIL and nephew are going with. DD and I will stay home. DS has never left town without me, and although it's just with H I've got some anxiety going about it.

Morning!
X was up early again, so I'm trying to get him to nap before we go to swim class this morning. I have to swing by a baby wearing group after that to return my wrap. I can't decide what I want next!
I think I'm solo parenting today, so hopefully there's a good nap in his future.
We watched "Gleason" on Amazon last night. It was amazing. Highly recommend it (with a side of tissues).

I'm sitting in the car outside swim class, like usual. Waiting a few more minutes before waking Ryan up to go in and change. It's pretty cold today too I'm so sore! I think I pulled some muscles falling yesterday. My ass hurts...lol. As for the rest of the day, I'm thinking probably cleaning and laundry.
Married 10/10/10! TTC Baby #1 since April 2014 BFP Oct 16 - EP terminated Nov 6 2014 Off the Bench January 2015! BFP #2 June 1 2015 - EDD Feb 12 2016! Baby Boy born 15th February 2016!
For the second night in a row DS screamed like a banshee MOTN, took a while to get him down. No idea why - he wasn't hungry but seemed to take a while to enter a deep sleep, otherwise woke up and screamed again.
I need to shower, we need to get groceries and beyond that I dunno
So I found a parents page for my little town on FB. Yay! I posted a question asking if there were any other stay home parents around and several people answered, a few of whom have young kids and said they want to play! So, do we keep talking on the page, is it too soon to send a friend request so we can message details? How do I mom-date?!

You could write on that post that you sent them a pm, and send a pm about arranging a play date time. Then go from there as far as friend request

I thought about that but I feel like non-friend messages get lost in space sometimes. Maybe I'll wait until next week and post that I'm getting coffee at X place at X time if anyone would like to join us. Idk. Mom-dating is weird. My H is making fun of me. Lol.

Yeah they can, but if you tell her you sent a PM then she should be able to look for it. But your plan sounds good as well!!

DH got the baby this morning so I could sleep in a bit. And he just took her to his parents so I have the house to myself for a couple hours! I need to vacuum and sweep, and then I am going to take a nice long nap.
Hello ladies! I woke up with a sinus headache and a runny nose. We were invited to a diaper keg tonight but I'm not sure if I'm in the mood to go or not. Tomorrow is my birthday so I kind of want to go out to eat instead. I'm about to hop in the shower and then it's off to get paint for the basement!

What is a diaper keg?
A party where the hosts have a keg of beer and you being a pack or box of diapers in exchange for a cup. Then you can drink however much you want for the rest of the night. I don't drink beer so it's not so much my thing, but my DH does.
I took DD and DS to the Play Cafe again today, since it was their Grand Opening (i.e. Free CAKE!) so that was fun. Although there was a little boy who looked to be about DD's age who kept bugging DS. He kept trying to pull him or push him towards the ball pit, and at one point pushed him on the floor and landed on top of him. His mom was very apologetic. She had been following her son around to try to get him to leave DS alone, but kid was persistent. After that, we went to the quieter area of the place, where there was a train table and books. DS seemed to fall in love with another baby there. He noticed her in her parent's arms, and kept watching her. Then when her father put her on the floor to play, DS immediately went over to her. It was adorable. lol
Does anybody have a ball pit for their kid (s)? Do you regret it? Lol
DS seems to love playing in the ball pit when we go to that play place so I'm thinking of potentially getting a small one for his birthday. But I think having balls all over the floor would be inevitable. So that's my only, yet big, hesitation.

tkford216, the local mommy group here has a "group message" on Facebook and when i was first added to the message I wasn't fb friends with any of them. so i know it is possible to message between without actually being friends on there. We normally just message things like "going here at X time today" and then if someone is free they can respond that they will meet you there. It seems to work really well for us. so you could ask in the group who wants to be added to a group message and go from there. then you would all be in contact and when the time comes can easily add each other as FB friends through that.
swim, i saw a few pinterest ideas for a ball pit one was a small tent with the ball in it, you can zip it up so they don't get balls all over, and the other one was a small inflatable pool that they put the ball in.

swim, I'm planning on buying a pack of balls and we can use them in the Pack and Play. That way I can easily put it away when we're tired of it, but they won't go everywhere AS easily.
Morning! I did not have a wonderful night. I went to bed about 11 and heard DH roll in at about midnight so I'm mad I left him over at our friend's house. Anyways, H was up and not wanting to go back to sleep at one point MOTN so I had to deal with that. But it's 9:25 and I'm still in bed so that's nice. When I finally decide to roll out of bed we are going to head to the diner for brunch. This afternoon the ILs are coming over to watch S while the rest of us go to a hockey game. It should be fun.
We (the kids) got to bed a bit later than normal last night since we were over at MIL's playing. So we all slept in this morning! H and DS took off for the monster truck event (2.5 hours away) and BIL and nephew went with. They'll have a fun boys day I'm sure. DD and I are currently getting ready and have a mommy/baby date at a coffee shop. We're meeting up with 2 girls who had their babies just a few days within DD and we used to be at breastfeeding group together during our maternity leave. Sadly we haven't met up since then, when our babies were 3 months! It's been long overdue. We've kept in touch, just never seem to be able to get together.
I plan to veg during DD's afternoon nap and then I'd like to go through her drawers and take out all the small stuff.
We went to breakfast this morning and sat near another couple and their boy, who looked to be around R's age. This afternoon, I created a group for SAHPs in our area based on the conversation had in the main parents page. Added the one girl who I had talked to a little and invited the rest to join if they wanted. The one girl added a couple of her other friends.. one of whom is the lady we sat next to at breakfast. Ha.
Oh. Also. I told my H that I found the lady we sat next to and that her kid is the same age. He got this sincerely panicked look and asked "did you stalk them?" My H has a lot of faith in me, guys. Smh.

This is a conversation in our house at least once a week. I'm just good at remembering faces, I think. Our town/FB mom group is small enough that I can recognize a mama without actually knowing her. It'd be weird (or I'm too weird?) to say something, so instead I just whisper to H everything I know about them.
One of my best friends is due today. Her parents flew up for the weekend (from PA to NH) so they'd be here when the baby came. No! That is exactly how you ensure a baby will stay put! No uterus evictions are occurring so they fly home tomorrow. Who actually counts on babies coming on their due dates like that?!? Ludicrous, haha.

We told everyone that I was due mid-june with DD1 since first pregnancies tend to go over due and I didn't want anyone pestering. Guess who showed up on her due date!

I hope your group turns into something great!
I'm in a couple local fb groups. I checked in someone that posts a lot on the babywearing group when she went into labor. I felt super creepy cause I feel like I know so much about her but I don't actually know her at all. I did not tell her I knew who she was.
