Just a quick check in. I got that dreaded text the other day saying im at 90% of my data for the month! And my house wifi is a bit slow. So it's easier to just drop in for some LTs until I reset next week.
I have to ask though, has anyone else started with pp hair loss? I had what seemed to be an exceptional amt after my shower yesterday.

C was up every 3 hours last night. It was... not fun. I think I jinxed myself talking about how good his sleep is. I think the little guy is mad at me right now because I jumped in the shower real quick when I heard him waking up and he was pretty upset when I finally got to him with a bottle. After he's done eating, I need to get myself ready and try to get out of the house before cleaning people arrive. We'll see if I make it. I think we're going to head to Target so I can return a couple things then go to visit my mom.

hangry I pulled a big chunk out of the drain the other day but I couldn't tell if it was fresh hair or old hair that's been hiding. It startled me how much came up. I have a hair appointment on Saturday and she might be able to tell. She's been loving how thick my hair has been.
Morning! I really need a haircut too; I have no idea when I'd have the time to go get it cut. H works yet another week of 36hrs on, 12 off, 24on, 12 off, 36 on. Last week, this week and the next two weeks are the same. I guess I'll just be putting my hair in a ponytail for a while.
Not much in the agenda for today. I was a busy bee yesterday and got a handful of meals prepped and frozen and today I just need to do some laundry and clean the bathrooms. I'm making it a goal to wash, fold and put away laundry all in the same day. Wish me luck, it's never happened before!
waitwhat, I feel for you. Last summer I planned a bridal shower and bachelorette and had a bridesmaid who was also the sister of the bride. Also 25, also didn't respond to texts, and also no help at all. What city are you in? Has the bride given you any ideas of what she'd like to have for either event?
waitwhat As I've gotten older, my tolerance for being in a bridal party and all that it entails has gone way, way down. Add in a recalcitrant b'maid (and the sister of the bride, at that!) and I'd be wanting to drink heavily. Good luck!
Morning all. DS has been fighting a cold all week and yesterday/last night it got worse, so he's home from preschool with a fever and gross cough. Since we're essentially trapped here today, hopefully I can get caught up on some housework. Asking too much?

waitwhat I'm also dealing with a difficult bridesmaid. I'm in a wedding 3/31. I'm throwing the bride a shower on 2/4. (I think I was insane when I made that offer; actually I was still pregnant and had no idea what it was like to have a newborn.) The difficult bridesmaid and I loosely discussed dates around Xmas. She said early Feb worked best for her. Ok fine, so I picked 2/4 and printed the invites. When we were trying on dresses I told the group the date of the shower (the invites weren't in yet). When she remarks, "what?! We need to talk about this this decisions have obviously been made that I was not apart of!" She then goes on to say she's going to be out of town that weekend. (The devil on my shoulder is jumping for joy) I just said I'm sorry but you said early feb and I confirm the date with the bride multiple times. At which point she literally stormed off. Joy! The bride later text me to apologize for her behavior. This wedding is going to be fun! I have no idea what we are doing for the bachelorette. Since I'm taking responsibility for the shower it would be nice if another bridesmaid aka ms difficult picked up the slack.
Hi ladies! We are *just* waking up. I can believe how late it is. Little lady really likes to sleep in. I wish she'd go to bed earlier but between 9:30 and 10 seems to still be her jam.
DH and DS are going away from tonight til Sunday so the sleeping in will actually be really nice the next 3 days! I'm also going to text my MIL to see if she can watch D for a couple hours this weekend so I can get a mani-pedi and massage (all from gift cards I got for my sprinkle or Christmas). It's going to be a lovely weekend.

We've had a pretty chill morning so far. My mom took the day off for a drs appointment. I'm expecting her in about 30 minutes or so. I think we are going to buy chairs for my dining room, get lunch, and...I don't know. Maybe clothes shop?
I'm really excited it's almost the weekend. I need to finish my book since we have bookclub on Tuesday.

ugh it's so frustrating! The shower should be easy. I'm not worried about that. For the bachelorette we came up with the idea of going to Saratoga springs. We are planning this for August and that is when they do horse races so we thought we would do that, then dinner, then out at night and stay over in a hotel. It's 3.5 hours away. And because of the horse races it's considered peak season so everything is super expensive and hotels are starting to get booked! I want to have a couple other options though in case it doesn't work out.
This sounds like a lot of fun. Could you look into an air bnb rather than a hotel? Might be cheaper if you have a large group?
cookswithwine9 that bridesmaid sounds...less than delightful.
I have one wedding in November (which as far as I know, I won't be in the wedding party, hooray!) and then I think all our friends will be married. Which is kind of sad, that that phase of our lives is over...but I'm happy to have the outfit-shopping, gift buying, and traveling part done!
These bridesmaids sound just lovely. I think my bridesmaid days are over (thank god), but we still have a bunch of weddings because H's friends have been the perpetual bachelor type and are only now settling down with girlfriends. Two are getting married this year. But those weddings should just be fun for me so I'm looking forward to them.
I do not miss the bridal party stage of life. Ok I sort of do, but to imagine doing it now with kids.... No thank you.
I'm hesitant to open my trap but I have hungry sleepy babies today. They were eating every hour yesterday which was hell and refusing to nap. Today we are still enjoying hourly feedings but they are consistently napping in between for like that whole hour each time. In fact (gulp) I've been able to rock AV to sleep 3 times and put her down and there she stayed. Did I just jinx myself ?
I've got Disney movies on in the background while I pay bills, start dinner, and fold laundry. Currently Beauty and the Beast - I am a sucker for the classics and their music.

So far today...
Had a successful trip to Target alone with C but I completely forgot how to collapse the stroller so I stood outside the car for 5 minutes in the rain trying to figure it out. I finally googled it.
The cashier at bed bath and beyond compared our grey roots. F you lady, you're like 20 years older than me!
kleigh Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorites, too. I've been singing the songs to C, partly bc I've been seeing ads for the live action version. My mom, sister and I want to go see it together
Can't wait to see the new Beauty and the Beast movie. I don't get to movies much anymore, but I might need to make it happen for this one. Maybe I can pull an H and wait until the kids are in bed then go by myself. I'd love a movie, popcorn, candy and soda to myself!

Hello!
I'm trying to catch up on the last couple of days. I've been trying to get the boys out of the house more often this week.
Today I took them to Red Robin for lunch. It was the first time the baby has been in a restaurant. I was nervous because he was awake when we got there and he usually hates being in his car seat if it's not moving, but he fell asleep all on his own about 5 minutes after we got there. This was also the first time I didn't use a highchair for DS1 and he did really well! I had to tell him a few times to sit down but overall it better than expected.
And because I missed baby day yesterday, here are my two fellas at lunch today.
I am committing to snuggle each of my kids every day. It's good for them, good for me, good for us, and I always feel better about my day when there are snuggles.
I love this.
J randomly asked in the car yesterday if we could snuggle when we got home. I about died. We say cuddle at home, so this was something they talk about at school. He asked again tonight. I think some jealousy is coming to a head and he's letting me know, I feel a bit horrible about it though. He also has started calling me mama instead of mommy/mom. Snuggles for everyone!
+100 for the need of a haircut but my super curly hair hides that need well! I can go a few more months without. If BFF finds a guy, I may have a few more weddings to attend/ participate in sometime but don't know if ever or when. SIL2 has a boyfriend so if MIL gets her wish (that at least one daughter gets married), I may not be in that wedding but will have to attend/participate in some stuff because L and DH may be! Considering we didn't think SILs 1&2 would ever get married, this would be interesting! DH also has a best friend who isn't married or dating but if he ever does, DH would be in that wedding probably. kleigh, your prepping for the live action movies? I love the classics as well as the Renaissance plus Belle reads, I love that! I wish N16 could go to a showing at one of those fancy theaters where they serve alcohol and food to your seats!
DH and I were/are in a fight, I wrote him an email explaining why I was upset and though no reply, today (yesterday) he seemed to be on point. Things were strained earlier in the day but kind of mellowed by this evening. We never did fight long! Usually we write an email of what is bothering us, talk it out, then move on! I'm still miffed about the cookie thing though!
I may be MIA this weekend, or I may be live blogging "while nursing" several times a day about the in-law visit from hell!!! lol There are many reasons for this as I've mentioned before; like today, MIL waited till today (yesterday as it's past midnight) to decide to do a family picture! Mind you we had this visit in the books late last month. I asked if there was a color scheme she was going for... crickets!?! I gave an example! (White shirt with blue jeans) No response (all via text). Several hours later, we can't do that because not everyone has a white shirt!?! Ummm... it was an example. My sister and I must be crazy because we do family portraits a lot and we do themes, like plaid shirts, coastal colors, all white, etc! She didn't seem to know what I was talking about! Anyways... sent her a few color schemes that most people can do without going shopping, (she liked grey, red, blue, white) and she wrote back, "what color goes to which piece of clothing?" That's not how this works! We no longer have to be matchy matchy in family photos!?! I explained how it doesn't matter! Thank goodness for Pinterest and screen shots to demonstrate what I meant! She takes everything I say so literally or twists them. She asked permission for the photo because we said we didn't want L on social media sites, and we still don't mind as long as any photo with L doesn't land on any social media accounts. Another interesting development from conversation with MIL, SIL2's boyfriend will be in the photos! DH is weirded out/ intrigued! We're hoping they are announcing something otherwise, we think that's weird. I'm wondering if she's feeling left out. SIL1 has a son, DH has L and I, BIL has SIL3, and obviously their parents are married. Otherwise, it'll be me critiquing the food they bring! (MIL's food is usually very bland, DH gained 10 lbs eating my mom's very seasoned food.
