Warm weekend!

At least for some of us!

My kid's latest discovery in "cool things I can do with my body:" gasping for air and sounding like he's struggling to breathe. It's very fun.

That sounds panic-inducing for Mom & Dad.

Morning! V is still asleep and it's past 7 yay! We are going to my parents' house today, which means 45 mins there and 45 mins back of torture screaming in the car. Can't wait.

Morning! It is supposed to be 60 both days this weekend. Unfortunately I won't get to enjoy it because I will be at work. Last night S stayed in the pnp from 8:30 till around 4am. That's the longest stretch of sleep in there she's had in a long time. I hope this is the start of a new trend.

I haven't updated on baby O in a little while, but they transferred him up to Mayo for a cranial surgery and have since found out his original surgery, from when he was 2 days old, is failing so he is in for a lot more surgery unfortunately.

Good luck with the drive. Have you tried giving her an iPad to watch a movie yet? Or is that last resort?

Weather is supposed to be super nice here this weekend too!

We were invited to FOUR birthday parties this evening. One kid, three adults. One that we are planning on going to, there 3yo was admitted to the hospital last night for severe stomach pain and a fever that won't break. She was born at 30 weeks and had so many surgeries in the following weeks. They haven't said anything about the party being cancelled but I would think it is.

Deleted. I'll post on fb.

Yikes! I hope everything is ok with her.

Scary, I hope everything is ok!

Hello! I've had a busy morning. Went grocery shopping, cleaned (most of) my bathroom, showered, and then it was basically time for lunch and nap. The kids are down now and I'm hoping to do some reading. I borrowed the Magnolia Story book from my mom and I'm over half done. I might re-read the 50 shades series again just because seeing the movie gave me the itch to.

I've been following his updates. That really blows. Hopefully they can get everything back on track and make some good progress. It's been such a long road already.

Same here! I hate it!!

DS is screaming bloody murder because H is changing his diaper, then we're headed over to BIL's, I think they're doing BBQ because it's so nice out

[swim]

It's mild here today, so some snow is melting a bit.
Not a lot, but enough to be able to clear the steps.

H and I are going on a date later. FIL and SMIL are coming to babysit for a bit. We haven't been out for a date night since our anniversary in June. It's much needed!

[swivelchair5]

It is beautiful here today. We went for a walk around the lake and out for lunch. I ordered a fruity mixed drink that had several types of alcohol in it and ended up needing to hand the car keys over to DH. Nothing like getting tipsy in the middle of the day. DH and I both napped during the baby's afternoon nap too.

[trtlcrzy]

Today I forgot my pumping bra for the first time ever. I never forgot it the entire 9 months I pumped with H 5x a week. And now, second to last day pumping, I forgot it. It's hard to hold and adjust the flanges without one! DH is bringing me my bra so I have it for my next break.

It's usually just me and her in the car so I can't do the iPad (she just eats it). I need to get one of those iPad holder things for the back of the seat! When we go to Tahoe next weekend (3 hour drive) MH will sit in the back with her and sing and iPad and all that jazz

This must be so disheartening and frustrating. I follow the FB updates- my H even knows all about it. Sorry

It is tough. Especially when they give you a possible deadline for getting released and then the setbacks happen. But he's in great hands and I have hope things will turn around.

We were productive yesterday. DH got through all of the sickness and started into regular laundry. I deep cleaned 2/3 bathrooms and we got the kids bathed.

Today will be much of the same but with a grocery shopping trip to get some fresh food in the house.

12 years ago today DH and I went on our first date. :-)

[kellybenelly83]

I'm so deep into laundry today! God this is horrible. How do you guys do this when they're 6 weeks old?? Being a working mom suuucks. However I am appreciating him more this weekend instead of being at my wits end so that's nice.

It's seven degrees out...SEVEN!!
That's practically summer!! Everything is melting so we're keeping a close eye on our basement after last years flood.

[chocolate]

Morning! I am also super deep into laundry. But mainly bathroom rugs, throw blankets, that junk I need to catch up on.

Today is the start of our official bottle weaning. I only have a handful of freezer bm bags left so this will be fast and furious. But she's a good eater so I think it'll be ok. She had a bottle at wake up and right now she's having a snack as it would be her 2nd bottle time. She had a cup of applesauce, a couple ritz crackers, and is drinking some almond milk out of her sippy. I'm planning to give her a bottle upon waking from nap and then at bedtime.

[rivers and roads]

It's going to be almost 70f here today! What?!
Bike rides and lots of backyard playing is on our agenda. 'Maybe cleaning, but meh.

Those are things I definitely don't remember to wash enough. Thanks for the reminder! They are washing now

[trtlcrzy]

Hey! Work again today. This is the last day of pumping at work! I'm so ready to say sayonara to it. It's warm out but I have to Miss out because I'll be inside all day.

[trtlcrzy]

Speaking of cleaning, I need to make myself a schedule. Like Monday wash towels and clean the main bath, Tuesday do the master bath and dust the living room, etc. I think if I do that then I will actually keep up with it.

[apunicorn]

Hi guys! Waiting for V to wake up and then we are heading to a beer brewery. It's a kid-friendly one! I'm so excited.

I'm terrible about it. But I threw these in the laundry room awhile ago, and they've been sitting there taking up space. 🙈

I've been telling myself this forever. I need to find some self discipline.
