H is running to the refuse/recycle station while I hang with babies. But I have iced coffee so I'm prepared.
We have my neice and nephews bday party at 2:30 and will prob stop by ILs after that since they live right up the street from my sister.
My other sister P might stay with us next week. In fact I hope she does. She's having (even more) cosmetic surgery and otherwise would be home several towns over by herself. Last time her ex was home with her but they've since split and I don't want her home alone that first week.

Happy weekend! Today is going to be a day full of yardwork and baby laundry. I have to go through the bags that SIL gave us and officially switch to 12 months. I made H weigh him on our bathroom scale and it said 21.5lbs. What?? I'm hoping it's off a little because that's crazy.
We're also thinking about doing a small BBQ tomorrow with some friends that we haven't seen in a while. It just seems impossible to go out to dinner these days so this will be a nice way to see them. It's going to be almost 70 and sunny out so should be a nice day.
Cheers for a better night tgrimes1980! Hope H is finally starting to feel better.
We are at soccer. DH is working 12-hour days this weekend so I'm solo with both kiddos. This is a nice break from packing so I'm not complaining. We've got a couple errands to run and then we'll probably grab lunch before heading home to...pack more 😜
So glad to hear about the better sleep waitwhattgrimes1980starbuck27!! And Starbuck I'm dying at Uptown Girl! Lol W is so adorable.
We had a good night here too. D is napping right now. This is following her taking the biggest shit of her life. Like, put on the sirens, do not pass Go, do not collect $200, but run straight to the tub kind of shit. I threw out the sleeper she was wearing (for the first and last time).
I actually have her in the Merlin for her nap and am sitting here creepily watching her sleep and trying to see if I can figure out what she does to wake herself up in it. I would really like to try her in it for a nighttime sleep very soon. I feel like if she rolls in this it is safer than if she does it in a swaddle sack.
When she wakes up we're going to a little get together at the home of a woman from my new moms group. I should probably get dressed since it's supposed to start at 11.
My SIL bumped into Joe Mangianello (sp?) last night at a restaurant. She said he is a little shorter than she expected but his looks do not disappoint.

Yay for all the great sleepers last night! We had a decent night too. I did a dream feed at 10, MH did one at 12:30, and he was up at 3 and 6 and then up for the day at 8:30.
We're dropping the boys off with family and then going to hit up some breweries before going to see my favorite comedian.

danib C was 19.5 pounds at his appointment 2 weeks ago. That just seems like a lot to gain that fast. He needs to slow down. I was just talking to my friend with an 8 month old he's bigger than her son! Also I'm sorry your hip is bothering you. Hope you can figure something out.
I had to look up this Joe guy and recognized him from How I Met Your Mother. Is that weird?
kleigh, what is your sister getting done? dashook, L still startles a little, but pediatrician told us to stop swaddling! danib, have you considered a pinched nerve? I get numb hips from that!
We went story time at the bookstore, it was an epic fail! Too many tots not under control, plus not enough space for my comfort. Now L is napping .
cookswithwine9 I get/save so many BBB coupons but always end up shopping there unexpectedly and thus coupon-less. You'd think I'd have learned to stash some in my car by now...
Wow, so many great nights!! I can't wait to get home and see how E does. I might start her in her crib in the room right away.
So speaking of sleep... we are still at the ILs. Today E got a good car seat nap and then another carrier nap while we were out all morning. After lunch, I commented that I had to figure out where I wanted to try to get E to nap (she'd been awake for 2 hours and was showing tired cues). My mil was like, no, then she wont sleep tonight! Uhhhh no, that's not how sleep works. Did she expect me to keep her awake until nighttime?! I'm so confused.

H told me that BBB is getting rid of the coupons and going to a membership system. So you'd pay an annual fee and get 20% off everything and free shipping.
Wow you guys. D had an absolute blast playing with the other babies! She was so excited and social--holding hands, screeching, and rolling around to look at the others. I feel a little guilty about not having her in DC; DS was so social at this age too and he really thrived in DC.
She has now been asleep for 3 hours--no surprise there! That's probably the hardest she's ever played.
I have no idea what we're doing with the evening. DS just woke up from his nap. When D wakes up we'll probably take them out to dinner somewhere. It's kind of becoming our Saturday night tradition.
danib, I'm a side sleeper that curls (fetal position) so for me it was the fold! I just wanted to give you something to consider if they don't find anything!
PW goldenlove3 I wonder if that'll apply to Bed Bath and Beyond? I wonder if they will expand/get rid of the big list of exclusions that are at the bottom of their coupons! So many questions...

They better not give me a card, if I get one more card that I have to lug around in my wallet I'M GONNA LOSE IT
If you have an Android phone you can put them all in Android pay. Or use the app key ring, you scan in all the cards and it keeps the barcodes in the app.

Pretty sure this is just something they're trying in some places. Not a permanent or definite change.
Re: the annual membership to BBB/BedBath&Beyond...Restoration Hardware has gone to that format. You pay an annual fee of around $100 and get 20% off all purchases and I think free shipping (pre-kids I was a gallery manager there). Def worth it if you are making a big furniture purchase or whatnot (or just spending $500/year on random stuff).
Guess it would depend on the price of the membership to determine if I would do it at BBB. I feel like they mark up a lot of their products (vs Target or Amazon) bc they know shoppers will have coupons.

Oh I meant bed bath and beyond but I think all their stores are included. I tried looking it up online and I guess they were testing it out back in the fall so who knows if it'll still happen. The coupons lately suck anyway now that they expire but I would only pay the fee if I knew it was going to pay off for that year, like if I was moving or planning a big remodel.
Eta-should have kept reading cuz I see hangry already mentioned this.
waitwhat, what kind did you get? I hate being disappointed by the beer I picked out.
The one that tasted like shampoo was shipyard blood orange. Yuck. I also got some strawberry blonde that was meh. And a grapefruit shandy which wasn't terrible. But you need to LOVE grapefruit in order to enjoy that. I have a few others I haven't opened yet. Soon 😜.
That's a shame about the blood orange one, I love blood orange so I probably would have bought that one too. I had a pink guava one that was to die for.
cheshie6 Well she's getting butt implants. Which she's had done before but I think before they took far from elsewhere and injected it but she didn't like the way it settled. But she's had her boobs done twice, lipo, tummy tuck, butt.. I think that's it. Lol at that's it.
