Morning! I dreamt DH took Alex to my sister to watch for the day and left behind all the milk. In my dream I also lost Leo at a hotel. It was not a restful night.
Dh is watching Alex today and Weds. He said he wanted to keep Leo too. No way. He had them both for 30 min Friday night and kept yelling at Leo. So, gotta get ready for work and then get Leo up for DC.
Good morning! I hate getting up super early for no reason but I think it's helping my sleep issues. I did a quick walk on the treadmill and now I'm lurking in our bedroom to wake up the baby...
She somehow managed to shimmy her way completely around in the playard, despite being swaddled. I watched it on the monitor, so weird.

Morning. Today is "trial run" with MIL. She is watching the twins from 10-3. And we are going to get our taxes done. I really hope we finally get a decent tax return!
Today is Nolan's first day of DC 😔. I hope big brother takes good care of him! Both boys have runny poops 😬. Sorry DC. I dream fed N before I left for work so I didn't even really get to say goodbye and I won't be home til 630 😩😩
Big hugs! I hope they have a good day. I'm sure they will be so happy to see you.
But are they in matching outfits? That's the real question.

Back from my bus stop run and getting ready to take DS2 and baby to story time at the library. I'm tired and even more tired thinking about it.
I'm making chicken pie for dinner because DS1 has been asking for it. We grilled just about every day last week when it was in the mid-70's. Now it's cold again.

Alex was awake when I left at 7 am this morning. I gave him a hug and a kiss and reminded dh about pace feeding. At 7:30 am DH texts me if he should change his diaper yet. If I had been home and he asked this question I would've snapped at him and he would have gotten mad for talking to him like that. But seriously? It's not his first baby and you can pretty much tell when a diaper needs changing...

@kc295905 hope you have a great day! Sounds like a long one but maybe good for you that someone else will have to deal with the poooooops?
requiressnacks good luck with the MIL trial run and tax returns. I love doing ours using Turbo Tax and then just have my husband take a look. The two of us together would be no bueno.
Winnifred glad you are getting some exercise in and it sounds like helping with your sleep?
littlelion doh! Husbands. My husband always does stuff like that and then says well you know what to do. What? Not rocket science. Just a diaper change.

S has been fighting nursing all weekend! She normally eats really quickly/not very much -- five mins on one side per feeding and over the course of 45 mins -- but this weekend she was down to three mins and so screamy. She doesn't seem to be sick and her diapers are better today but I have been dream feeding her and walking/singing while nursing just to get some calories in her. Luckily her sleep last night was better than the night before, I was a huge grump on Sunday.

Look! I dressed my kid in real clothes!
Started washing her 3-6 month stuff this weekend. If she's like her brother she will be on time for moving from one size to the next at least for length but probably not weight.

I lost it last night. DH was having a rough day until we got to our friends house where Jane wouldn't stop crying so I was trying to help him feel better, but I think all he wanted was attention and dear lord your a grown man. After we settled down to watch a movie I couldn't get the thoughts out of my head of just taking Jane and leaving so I went upstairs and had a crying shower. Then DH was all over me like "what's wrong, what can I do" after I told him to just leave me alone.
This morning I'm still in tears but I walked 30 minutes on the treadmill at work and now I'm just waiting for my one client call today at 10 am then I'm headed back to go get Jane and call in "sick" because I didn't have enough milk pumped for her for daycare. I kicked around the idea of just rescheduling and calling in now, but I can pump here and have an hour of nothing before I do. I might even not tell my boss and leave until noon so I don't have to take a day. We'll see. Ugh. I hate feeling like this. I'm either irrationally sad and stressed or irritable.
I don't really have anyone here I feel like I could talk to. I think I just need to hear that this is normal and It's probably all just lack of sleep catching up to me again.

mrswillie, she is watching them two days per week - Monday's and Wednesdays. I don't worry about them with her, but I just hope they don't burn her out. It's a lot.
Post by requiressnacks on Feb 27, 2017 11:04:57 GMT -5
catherineoctober, I'm so sorry that you're feeling that way. Kids are so hard on relationships. Honestly, I've had more crying showers than I can count. It's the one place that no one bothers me and I can't hear the babies crying.

legalbeagle so cute! I had to move Alex to 3-6 & 6 mo clothes but due to weight not height!
catherineoctober big {hug} lady. Sometimes our husbands don't understand the amount of stress we're under. I had a similar breakdown last night. My h just thinks I'm bitchier for no reason. But even tho he's doing the same stuff he's always done my patience is tested with 2 kids and now work. I just wish he could see the bigger picture and not just what affects him.

That is my situation to a T! MH just thinks and acts like nothing has changed and he "works so hard during the week" omg I could slap him. I hate that I just cry about it instead. (After bitching at everything that moves first)
Must be relationship stress week. My husband has been super cranky since he got back from his work trip. He knows I'm stressed from taking care of the baby, but somehow he's allowed to be mad and demand extra attention to feel better. 100% of my attention goes to keeping this baby alive and happy. He'll just have to wait.
He also wants me to throw him a party every time he helps out, as if taking her for a few hours is going, as he said, "above and beyond" and equals the work I do the other 99 percent of the time. Ugh.
We definitely want another but the thought of being pregnant again, and having a newborn again (with a toddler!?) is terrifying. But I want them to be close in age. I'm assuming at some point you convince yourself it won't be that bad? Or you forget how hard it is?

To answer your last two questions.... yup and yup!

I called my sister and had a really good talk. She reminded me that my husband is going to have to grow up. Now I'm eating tacos by myself before I go pick up Jane. 😁
Two under two scares me, but I'd like them to be three years or less apart. My brother and I are four years apart, and we were never in school together.
I was thinking about trying when she's 1.5, but since you never know how long it will take, 1 might make more sense.

Omg hats off to you moms who are already thinking about trying again. With DS we were like "we're good" until he was over two (when he STTN regularly) and then I had to convince my DH and then miscarriage and so we've ended up with them a little over four years apart but honestly I think best for our family/my ability to deal with chaos. DS is in school full-time and that helps a lot with transition to two kids.

W my OB said to wait at least nine months so we're planning on that and not using any hormonal birth control in the process. Because of our IF, I want to start as soon as possible to have a shot at a natural conception before moving onto IVF again, but still having babies close together. My theory is it will be hard anytime we have a second so let's just go for it instead of waiting too long.
