Good morning! S, and I, had the best night of sleep in months. I feel so refreshed. We dropped H's car off at the mechanic to get fixed and got donuts on the way home. Since we've been home S has been very whiny and clingy. Hopefully that doesn't last all day. I plan to work on painting the basement most of the day today. DH and H are going sledding with my sister and her kids this afternoon. So it should be a pretty full day.

We went swimming this morning and I'm exhausted now. Nap time thank god. Hopefully it's a nice long one. I need it and so does he. Tonight it's movie night with a girlfriend. I'm hoping we both stay awake for it lol

H is out fishing so it's me and the kids. We kept quite busy this morning. We read books, played in the water table, played outside, and did some kids yoga I found on Amazon tv. It's nap time. It appears as though DS won't be falling asleep today, which I fully expected, so I'll probably get him out after a bit. I usually let him lay in there for about an hour for the down time. I'm not sure what we'll do after nap. Possibly go out and visit my mom to get out of the house. Leftovers for supper so I don't really have any prepping that I need to do.

I have a new recipe in the slow cooker and it smells amazing. I hope it tastes as good as it smells.
Baby went down at 1, and is still sleeping. Tired baby was tired!! Almost 2 hrs now! I managed to get laundry and cleaning done, and even sat down!! Hahaha

kellybenelly83 share recipe? My friend had her baby!! She had a girl a big one! 9lbs 2oz. But, she was 2 weeks late so not a shocker... she ended up with a C section after 48 hours of labor. This baby having stuff isn't easy But mama and baby are doing well and as soon as I kick this cold that showed up (FML) I am going to visit and snuggle the squishy new one!!
I have gotten one room completely primed, so many more to go. I'm nursing S right now then back at it. DH is currently taking a turn. My hands are starting to get crampy.

That sounds miserable and exhausting. Glad it's over and she's got her little (big) baby girl! 🎀
I'm jealous of those who are productive over nap time. Well, half jealous, half not. I'm the opposite of productive while my kids nap, but I also enjoy it.
trtlcrzy painting sounds fun until you're knee deep in it. I've really been wanting to paint a big chunk of our main floor, but I'm not sure what color(s) to go with.

Yay for fresh babies! Yay for good sleep!
We had swimming this morning. X really needs to nap longer than 40 minutes. He's currently just rolling around in his crib chatting to himself. I hope he falls asleep soon. H is out with friends this afternoon and I'd really like some quiet time to myself, so this sleep is essential for a few reasons.
We're going on a date tonight! A friend is coming over to sit in our house while X sleeps (hopefully).

Painting is fun if you're doing one room and don't have to tape anything off. This is not so much fun because I have to paint the entire basement 2x minimum. But the end product is worth it, I love a freshly painted room.

Mmmm that fresh baby smell....
It's a vegetarian recipe but so much yummy protein and smells heavenly. The bite I had tasted great too

Me being productive over nap time lately = having a nap as well lol.
I'm at work this evening. I don't have a schedule for the rest of this week even though my boss said I'd have one by the time I got to work yesterday. So hopefully tomorrow I'll get it when I call to ask my boss.
Friends of ours just announced their pregnancy on fb. They've been struggled for quite some time. She had two early miscarriages about the same time I did and they've been waiting to get pregnant again ever since (as far as I know). She's now 14 weeks and they had a couple early ultrasounds done because she had some bleeding issues and they found a small tear. Anyway, all that to say, it's been a rough journey for them. Some dude commented on the post saying "Congrats! About time!" Ugh, my heart just breaks reading that, knowing how awful that must make her feel to hear shit like that.
tkford216 that's awesome for your friend! I hope she has a smooth pregnancy here on out. Sucky about the fb comment. Unfortunately people don't think about that kind of stuff before making those comments.
Well we never left the house this afternoon. DD slept until 4. I made corn muffins and we just spent the rest of the time playing. H came home for about an hour right around bed time and is gone again. He has some friends in town. I foresee myself being in bed by 9. God I'm lame.
Morning all! Happy Sunday!! I feel a bit better today so I am HOPING I caught this illness early and destroyed it. Today is SO's bday so he wanted to go disc golfing this am. So he's doing that while I clean and prep for bday dinner. Kids being fairly cooperative. Lu down for a nap and then we have to go get some prints at target. All in all a relaxing Sunday

Morning! Lazy Sunday here. H and X are both napping. I'm making a video of X's first year. I figured since we're not having a party and I don't get to do all the fun 1st party planning, I'm going to spend my time doing this instead. I'm definitely not crying.
tkford216, I hope this is a healthy and uneventful pregnancy for your friend. I also hope people keep their mouths shut.
I think I might make that stew tonight, kellybenelly83! Pending I get the motivation to get to the grocery store...
Morning. DH is at church and I'm home with the girl. S has developed a fever so I'm guessing we won't do much today. I want to get another room painted at some point today.
It's time I start working on Bobby's scrapbook so I can have something put together before his party in 3 weeks. While searching for my scrapbook stuff, I came across this:
I had totally forgotten about it! I bought this tote when it was on clearance years ago, knowing that someday I wanted a child and we would go to the library and pick out books, and I just *had* to have this tote. I'm so glad I found it, what great timing.
Ok, so apparently I've collected quite a few scrapbooks over the years without doing much to them, lol. Help me decide what to do with these.
The blue one is huge and has a ton of pages, so maybe I'll use that one for Bobby's stuff. Maybe do that for every day photos (the kind I post on fb) and then use the nicer black one for photoshoot pics, like the maternity, newborn, 6 month, one year..? Or should I just combine them all in the blue one and forget the nice black one? The one I added letters to (like ten years ago when I graduated, but then apparently never touched again) is cute I think, so I could use that one instead.. or I could save that as a graduation present for my sister in a couple years. Idk. I can't make a decision, and I know some of you are more creative than me. Help! Eta, the little black one on bottom right is kind of beat up. I may just toss that one.
tkford216 I'm also a digital photo book maker so I don't have much great advice either. In addition to the fact that I haven't finished Rowan's 1st year book. He's 4. 🤦🏻♀️
Mellow-ish Sunday over here. Pancakes for breakfast, yum. I've done 3 loads of laundry and have chicken tortilla soup in the crock pot for supper. DH fried fish for him and DS for lunch (yuck). Babe is napping and DS and DH are in one living room, and I'm in the other. I'm going to cozy up and read for awhile.
