M just ate and is back asleep on my chest. I want to go back to sleep too
Do it. Sleep when baby sleeps. Fuck all the chores. Sleep!
Laundry can wait. H decided he is taking a half day so he can do all his weekend chores. He wasn't happy when I said I was going back to bed lol. His mom and stepfather are coming over tonight for dinner so this should be a fun day, I'm going to sleep now.
Lame FFFC: I love watching Food Network, but I irrationally hate Giada de Laurentis-however you spell her last name. The way she says Italian ingredients and tries to be so pretentious. My Italian grandma doesn't pronounce ciabatta like that! She just really wants people to understand that she cooks Italian food. We get it. Shut up and cook! But the food looks good, so I'm hate-watching her.
Yes. This is a lame confession, but I'm pinned down by a sick baby, so whatev.
Another confession: I'm actually glad that with Kaiser you just get a random doctor to deliver your baby. I understand how people with complicated histories would want to know who would be there to make sure a specific plan gets followed, but I've been lucky to be medically boring, and DNW to be a hysterical mess in front of anyone I ever have to see again (besides H, of course).

I followed the sleep when baby sleeps advice and I don't think I would have made it if I didn't. I still took​ naps with her until about a month ago when she stopped taking naps in bed.

Yay, I'm glad we have some FTMs! Most of my Jan 17 BMB is second-timers. Which is fun but I also found this place so helpful with my first and I want to feel like I'm giving back. If that makes sense.

First Mother's Day: we did photos at JCP with me and DS and I sent mom a photo collage. Then for Father's Day I sent him a photo mug with one of the photos.

jennykat Giada drives me crazy for the same reason. She also is just oddly proportioned these days: she looks like a head on a stick. I'm not trying to body shame her but there's just something weird about her.

Once when I was substitute teaching the home ec teacher wanted me to play a Giada DVD. I was excited for an easy day. Until I got to the fourth period of playing the DVD. 🤣 It got old ... fast

Baby M has been so smiley and cute this week! It's amazing to see how much he's changed in just the last couple weeks. He smiles and coos and is so interactive now.
I'm going to be really sad if h doesn't do something, anything, for me for mother's day. I have a strong feeling he won't, though. 😕
(Hug) MH doesn't do gifts. So I'm not expecting anything. I hope YH gets you something! I can't remember if he is a gift giver or not?
Last year I had J two days before Mother's Day and he actually got me flowers and a card. But admitted he might not have if everyone hadn't been teasing him about how J made sure to come out in time for Mother's Day lol

teraiin,@led, My Dh is the same way. He's not into celebrating. I've made him realize that I want to celebrate our anniversary, bdays, etc. My first mother's day he didn't do anything. My dad and brother brought me flowers. Now he knows he should do something. And either I tell him what I want or just remind him the day is coming up and I need to hear at least a "Happy X" from him.

He's most definitely not a gift giver. I think in the 10+ years we've been together he's gotten me maybe three gifts. We were supposed to make an effort and exchange gifts for New Year's, but he still didn't get me anything.

But.....did you get your husband to ACTUALLY read the book? That's where we struggle. He is self-proclaimed "non-reader"
And we have JCP photos next weekend! Maybe I can just use those.
Uh, no. I actually got it when married to my ex, who was also "not a reader". Let's just say the 4 Horsemen (red flags) section was very enlightening.
And I've been able to put the principles into play with my new relationship and it's much much healthier.
But the book is short and can be read in short chunks. It also has guided activities iirc, so maybe you can just try those? But I feel your pain on the not-reading
