Lol sophiegrace. You should see the stuff that comes out of Lillian. It's so gross. I've seriously almost thrown up on a few occasions.
It's supposed to be stormy here today. It's misting out, but so far no real rain. Low risk of tornadoes so that's good. The girls slept ok last night. Lilah is still sick and wanting to nurse more, but at least I wasn't awake for hours at a time. We are going to my mom's club book club meeting. I once again did not read the book. It was over 800 pages and I just couldn't. I hope we pick something shorter this time. I wouldn't have voted for it if I'd known how freaking long it was. I'm going in prepared with suggestions. Otherwise I need to stop by the store and get stuff for dinner tonight and tomorrow night. I'm feeling lazy so I'll probably get a pizza for tonight.
D slept almost 12 hours overnight. The blessed angel. I'm just hanging out in bed now cuddling her and listening to her "talk." I'm hungry but don't want to get up yet. I'm going to miss these moments so much when I am back at work in a few weeks.

Hi ladies! I didn't even get a chance to check in yesterday but was LTing last night. It was cleaning day so I was busy all morning getting C and myself ready to leave. We went to my parents house and hung out there for a bit. Then I left to go shopping for work clothes. I bought a bunch of stuff but I'm going to go through it all again to make sure I actually like it. My closet is full of crap I like at the store but hate when I try to actually wear it. We came home a little later than we should have but C went down pretty easy.
Today H took the day off because he's going to pick up our cow this afternoon. We split a cow with a few friends. Hope it's good.
Nothing else going on but I would like to purge my closet at some point this weekend.

Lol at the toddler poops. Not a happy lol...more of a nervous oh NO lol.
Yay Monty @sarahwithanh! Hope those steroids clear his system soon! I can commiserate with him. And I've only ever done the short term packs. FX for some wonderful weight gains as everything falls into place.
Hope everything is on the up and up from here danib and that C behaves so wonderfully that your lack of voice won't matter too much. Are you starting to feel better yet?
I hope it's short lived tgrimes1980. No time for that nonsense.
Have you had good luck with the cow in previous years goldenlove3? We've discussed it since getting the deep freezer and then forget about it.

I'm letting M nap on me right now. I've been pushing the whole sleeping off of me thing all week and I just didn't feel like putting her down this time. Watch it completely backfire and have us lose all the progress we've made.

Doing the same exact thing with Adeline right now bc AB went down for nap first and H is also working from home if he wakes. I really was pushing no naps on us but I know I don't have a million more of these left so I'm just gonna treasure it now and again.
Toddler poops are like straight from the depths of hell. DS's favorite food right now is corn. I'm sure you know where this is going, so I'll spare you the details. Just know that it's disgusting.
@sarahwithanh, I'm so glad Monty is home, hoping for your sake and his that he keeps it that way for a while! Always here for you if you need anything!

Yup. I realized she'll be five months next weekend. What?! How?
Andplusalso how beautiful are these sleeping baby faces? I can't get a picture of it to do it justice.
goldenlove3 I've never heard of this sharing a cow business. I think you mean the meat, yes? Like, not a pet cow, right? Does it come butchered?
Babe just got a 2 hour carrier nap. Hoping this means a day of good naps. I am not at the point of trying for naps off me yet. We just need naps longer than 40 min.
H came home late last night and is already talking about take out for dinner. Winning!!
Sarah, just.in.case you haven't seen this one yet I wanted to share it because it's one of my favourites but make sure you have tissues first. Happy (belated) World Down Syndrome Day ❤️
@sarahwithanh great update! Hope he is back to gaining weight soon.
Sorry about the migraine tgrimes1980. That's the worst. Could you nap in your car at lunch?
Well, we ditched the swaddle last night--kind of accidentally--and C did fine, so I guess that's that? Seems too easy...
Mom and I saw Beauty and the Beast last night and it was so good. I think my H now has PTSD from all the crying C did/refusing the bottle, though. He said it took 45 min to get her to take her bedtime bottle. We have to work on this, clearly, as we are leaving the kids for a few days with my parents in May! She is so laid back about literally everything else, but girlfriend does NOT like her milk messed with.

sophiegrace we've never done it before but our friends did last year and they liked it. If you decide to get a freezer, best buy actually has a great price on them.
hangry Yea it's the meat. We're splitting it with some friends. That would be fun if it was a pet but then I wouldn't be eating it lol.

waitwhat We got a pig with H's co-worker but I don't think it's as good as the pork we get from our local store that sells grass fed, etc meat. Plus the butchering was terrible.
DH has a bachelor party this weekend. He's leaving in a couple hours. Is it wrong that I'm really excited to have a night to myself tonight? I'm going to watch zero march madness. Once the kids go down it's a movie, popcorn, and wine. I cannot freaking wait.
I love when DH travels for this reason. Enjoy your evening!

Good Morning!
MH is off today, so he's alone with the boys for the first time ever. He's been sending me play by play updates and everything is going smoothly. He'll be heading out to his parent's house in a couple hours though, so it's not a full day of just him and kids.
We're going to a comedy show tonight, and I'm really excited to get out for a much needed date night, but I'm 100% positive that I'll pass out at some point during the show. I'm just going to apologize in advance to Patton Oswalt for snoring through his set tonight.
LizInFL I'm so jealous of C's swaddle transition. I'm trying to work up the courage to put H in the merlin tonight. Can I just pay someone to come to my house and do it for me while I go sleep at a hotel? LOL!
Well, I'm not ready to say it's done; I guess we'll find out tonight.
Maybe you can teach mine to take a bottle, and I'll teach yours to sleep
LizInFL MH also def has PTSD from the one night he stayed home with E. She didnt take the bottle at all and was crying for 2 hours. I haven't left her or tried to give her a bottle since then.
But we also have a wedding to go to in May. I should probably let her practice so we don't totally screw the babysitter.

When I got engaged the response from our families was underwhelming. Not that they weren't happy, but we got a whole bunch congrats and well wishes and then radio silence. The complete lack of interest is what eventually led us to get married in the Caribbean and me getting my dress off of Etsy.
I did not realize how much this bothered me until my sister got engaged and my mom threw herself all in to helping her plan it. To top it off I got a text message a few minutes ago of my sister in a gorgeous dress that my mom is buying for her. From the pictures it looks like an entire planned morning with everyone, except for me, there. Even if it seemed like it would have been impossible for me to have made it, an invitation would have been nice. I was so excited for this wedding, but it's getting harder and harder to keep this level of enthusiasm up.

This sounds like my night, except the opposite! H will be working so I can sit and watch the Badger game in peace! He hates basketball!
Have a great time tonight jubilantsquirrel! I bet those play by plays are great to read.
Yes! Apparently DS1 ate 9 pancakes (silver dollar sized) this morning and DS2 pooped up his back. Oh and DS1 also drank from the dogs water dish. So, you know, typical guys day.
