Finally finally Friday

[spikesmom]

I am so ready for the weekend, I'm working today even though I normally have it off and I am so over this week. I have driven over 1200 miles for work this week and I am exhausted.

Lo is doing well at the new daycare and it is nice not trying to juggle my schedule with the baby's schedule.

We were going to take Lo to the zoo on Saturday but it is looking like rain :-(

Have a good one ladies

[jjh1119]

Hello spikesmom! Sounds like a very very busy week. I'm glad max enjoys daycare and is adjusting well!

I work again today and tomorrow and then we leave for vacation! However, since it is a wedding, after working 9 hours today, I will have to do three more haircuts tonight

[gldnbearz]

Hope everyone's Friday passes quickly. We have to figure out packing for a trip with the kid. Taking along the carseat, stroller, booster seat, and more boggles the brain.

Happy Friday ladies! and happy national cheeseburger day!

Jeeze Spikesmom, driving 1200 miles for work is insane! I'm so glad your lo is adjusting well to daycare. Is he super exausted when he gets home? Kennedy is always so tired when I pick her up, there is so much going on there
Jjh yay for vacation, hope your long day today goes by fast
Gldnbearz good luck packing. I can't imagine trying to get everything together for a trip like that with lo!

Lo is finally "crawling"! It's more like an army crawl type of thing but she's movin'. It's adorable and a game changer.

[zengal]

Ah, Friday. How I've longed for ye. National cheeseburger day! That's awesome.

Good luck on travels and adjusting to mobile LOs!

I'm just enjoying the fact that I don't have to work a full day and that tonight and for the next two days I can do what I want. :-D

[kfaye]

Zengal yes national cheeseburger day! I thought about posting a pic of Randy from the Trailer Park Boys but I thought I would spare everyone that image!

[jjh1119]

Gldnbearz I bought a fabric highchair thing to have one less thing to bring

[kaimee27]

spikesmom, yikes, that's a lot of driving!

jjh1119, have fun on vacation and at the wedding!

kfaye, it definitely changes everything once they're mobile! There's no peace in our house with DD crawling!

There's a street festival in our town this weekend and I'd really like to go, but I'm not sure about it with this vertigo still going on. I'd also feel a little bit guilty about going since I was supposed to work this weekend but my doctor took me off until Monday.

[jjh1119]

Kfaye- yeah once they start moving is definitely a game changer!

Kaimee- I would probably feel guilty about going, too. But it's not the same as working a 12 hr shift. Would people you work with see you?

[gldnbearz]

jjh1119 Do you have a product link for the fabric highchair?

[jax1182014]

Sorry I haven't been around much. I think I had a nervous breakdown the other day. It resulted in like 2 days of crying on my part Allison wasn't sleeping and barely napping. It was horrible. I had my first overnight away and left my husband in charge. She was so bad. Ate every 2 hrs and was up from 2-5. I came home at 5 and was able to feed her then she went to sleep till 7 but I had to lay on the floor next to her. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong

[kaimee27]

jjh1119, probably not, but I can't say for sure since I work really close to where I live and so do some others that I work with.

[kfaye]

Jax I'm so sorry you are feeling down! I'm sure you are not doing anything wrong at all. My lo does that too and won't sleep sometimes unless it's with me, she was probably missing you. How tough for you and your H tho, I'm sorry.

It will get better!

[jjh1119]

You're not doing anything wrong jax. I hope things get better!



gldnbearz this is what I got for him but there are tons. I went cheap

[MsNicole06]

so i feel like an idiot because I found all the my first Halloween outfits. They were in with the costumes. I never went by those because I'm borrowing one from a friend.

Jax that sounds rough. I know if I'm gone too long DD becomes whiney and clingy to me. I typically have to hold her to get her to sleep.

kaimee27 I personally wouldn't go because I would be worried about running into a co-worker

spikesmom I can't imagine doing that much driving for work in one week.

[zengal]

Kaimee I run into people I work with and I live 45 minutes away from there!

Jax, I'm sorry you're struggling- The sleep woes are real and you know we've all been there. It's just how it goes sometimes, but if you tell yourself it's because of something you're doing wrong, of course you'll feel awful! Blame the baby's developing brain
Msnicole that is kind of funny that you found the first outfits. Haha.
I'm going to carb load for my long run. I love legitimate excuses for bread.

[songbirdsinging55]

spikesmom- yay for adjusting to daycare! That is alot of travel.
jjh1119- yay for vacation!
kfaye- we have an army crawler here too!
zengal - yay freedom!! No wonder I wanted a cheeseburger
@kaimee - how is the vertigo doing? Are you getting any relief?
@jax- hugs lady! You are not doing anything wrong. I am sorry that it has been a rough couple of days.
MsNicole06- lol on the Halloween costumes.

[songbirdsinging55]

So I feel huge. I think the outfit accentuates the bump. Forgive the tired eyes and disheveled hair. I am nauseous again, Isaac is feeling much better today. Isaac has officially picked up a bad word from my lovely sister who swears like a sailor. He called me A-hole. I tried really hard not to laugh but it was so random and he did it as I was leaving to go back to work. Time to watch what we watch or listen too.

[MsNicole06]

Songbird you look adorable.

We took DD to her first football game. It was home coming for DHs school. She loved it although I'm pretty sure she thought everyone was looking at her since we were down on the side lines. She really enjoyed the band too. We left at half time because DD was ready for bed and starting to melt down.

[jjh1119]

Hows stinking cute are you songbirdsinging55!

yay for football games! msnicole!

[zengal]

Songbird you look so cute! And I can't believe Isaac is cussing already-

Msnicole we are going to baby's first football game in a couple weeks. We are traveling several hours to get there so I hope she makes it past halftime!
I taught baby to take bites of food today. She was like an adorable wild animal biting off pieces of bread tonight!

[kfaye]

Songbird you look beautiful!

[MsNicole06]

Zen gal I'm sure she will. DH teaches in a high school so half time was at 8:15 bed time is 8:30 usually. She simply wanted her bottle, pjs, and to go to bed.

[l8rg8r]

jax1182014 I'm so sorry the last few days have been difficult. Babies are difficult little creatures. Everyone has bad days in motherhood. As a mommy of 3, I will tell you that some days it is the most rewarding job ever and then others, it is the most thankless job. I sometimes call lo my little dictator because that is how it feels. I'm sure you aren't doing anything wrong and that this is a phase that will pass, like everything else. Sending you creepy internet hugs.

songbirdsinging55 You look great! Every time I see a pregnant woman I get all nostalgic and think how I miss it.

MsNicole06 Going to a football game sounds fun.

[l8rg8r]

I am on the verge of a cold. I'm really hoping I don't get it. DD has had a cough for a little over a week, DS1 just started to come down with it Thursday night and lo seems to have a touch of it too. I keep taking zicam and doing saline. It is so hard being sick and taking care of littles too.
