I told H that I'll definitely need to buy another cup of coffee at some point today. C's schedule is so skewed right now. Yesterday he came home and was almost falling asleep at 5:30. We managed to keep him happy until about 6:30 but all hell broke loose and we had to put him to bed before 7. Then this morning he was up at 2, 3 and 4. The first couple wakeups I just gave him a paci because he wasn't really fussing, but then he was eating his hand at 4 so H got up and fed him. He devoured his bottle and passed back out by 4:30. I know I can't really complain because he's sleeping so well but I wish he would stay up a little longer at night. It sucks to only see him for an hour in the morning and an hour at night.
waitwhat, that is so awesome, yay!! Did your boobs survive though? lol danib, aww I hope you guys have a great day and moods pick up! tgrimes1980, that's effing terrible, I'm so sorry. Hugs and coffee, mama.
We had an okay night. D actually went to bed on the "early" side for her (8:15 pm) and then was up at 1:30 and 5:30. I actually put her down for her first nap before I left for work. That made me miss maternity leave pretty badly.
When I got to work my boss seemed surprised to see me. In general I'm not going to be working Fridays but because Monday was a holiday this week I figured I should come in. Definitely still working out the kinks here. I cannot wait for the weekend to nap and try to regroup.

DS2 has finally started taking a bottle at night. So MH has been able to help out a lot more with MOTN feedings. It's been so nice. DS2 goes down about 8:30 and I go to bed at about 9:30 (much later than I'd like) and MH handles the first wake up, usually around 10:30 and then he also does a dreamfeed before he comes to bed around midnight. Last night I didn't get up to nurse until just before 3am. I'm still tired because I get up for work at the god awful hour of 4:30, but I don't feel like I'm dying, which is nice.
To add to my amazing day, MH left our food from last night on the counter instead of putting it in the fridge. I really wanted to eat that butternut & Brussels sprouts today.
We don't get food trucks on Fridays. I think because there's not as many people in the office. But we still get the lunch delivery service. Today it's this Tropical smoothie place that has flatbread sandwiches and then a Thai place.

I didn't really get to post yesterday so I need to make up for lost time. So, here are my annoyances from yesterday.
Work. People are dumb and annoying. And then I had my meeting with the manager where he told me how much of raise I was getting and it's 1.95%. Like, I got "meets expectations" and "exceeds expectations" on every single thing but I don't even get 2%?! The raise barely covers the increase in my insurance premiums.
Then I got finally got the quote for the patio and it's a good $1200 more than I thought it would be and outside of our budget. I contacted 8 places and they were the only place to respond. I called another guy yesterday afternoon and he said that he was driving and to text him my information and he'll call me right back. Never heard back from him. I'm emailing 2 more places today, but damn. All I want is a simple poured concrete patio.

On a more silly note, today is the first nice sunny day we've had in a really long time. So long in fact that MH texted me and said that he put a short sleeve t-shirt on DS1 this morning and he kept trying to pull down the sleeves. He was confused why the shirt didn't have long sleeves. I guess it's been a good 7 months since he's worn short sleeves.
jubilantsquirrel you need lots of wine too. How annoying. I hate contractors, like, I'm trying to give you business dude, answer your phone or call me back! That's frustrating.
I'm shocked at how hard it has been trying to get people to give me a quote. I want to spend money, please respond!
I emailed 3 more places, so fingers crossed someone decides they want some business.

This has happened to me too. I have house projects I want done but no one to do them.

I'm going through this exact thing to have a new deck built and possibly some concrete poured. It's so annoying. Of course because once I decide do something I want it done, like yesterday.
Lol, this is exactly how I am too. No patience whatsoever.

We went through this with our deck a couple years ago. It was such a pain just to get a quote.
Also had maybe 1 house cleaner respond to me in the fall when I was looking. One lady actually responded months later. Wow, thanks.

vinolove We had one ridiculous deck quote like that too. We were asking for a simple square deck. There was nothing complicated about it to cost that much!
And I think this second coffee is making me more sleepy.

My sister used to see C all the time during the week but recently moved two hours away to be with her boyfriend. She has mentioned before how she's going to come back on the weekends to see C. She just asked what we were doing tomorrow. Is it bad that I said no? I mean last weekend was crazy and we have a shit ton of house and yard work to do right now. Plus I kind of just want a day alone with just the 3 of us.
starbuck27 that's so exciting! Im glad they took right to it!
goldenlove3 could you use her as a babysitter so you could get things done? Like tell her C will be awake from x to z and then during naps you guys are going to do house work so adios. But if you are rally just want quiet time, say no! Nothing wrong with that.

starbuck27 That's awesome! Hope this is the start of what you need to get a break.
hangry I guess maybe I could but yea we really just don't feel like company. She actually made a half joking comment about bringing him back to my parents house while we do yard work. Uhh no. I've barey seen him all week.
