Good morning! heartofglass do you typically bathe LO so early, or did you have some sort of catastrophe? Poop? Pee? Vomit? I sure hope not!
O is almost finished with her bottle and then we are heading to daycare. She is letting me bring O 30 minutes early all week so I only have to be 45-50 minutes late to work all week. I hope you all have a great Tuesday!

Really considering hiring someone to watch J over night for a few nights. I can't do this much longer.
We have no plans today, hopefully finding something entertaining so I stay awake. On the plus side of J being super cranky, I get to take her out of the House to do things while SO packs for the move.

I'm in a much better mood than I've been in days after getting 10 hours of sleep. I needed it so much!
LO is playing with a balloon that has been his primary entertainment for two days. He's started really looking at books on his own and being intentional with toys (stacking rings etc) the past week which is so fun to watch.
We just found out a friend is getting married in CA this winter and are spinning out planning a kid free vaca. I really hope it works out!
DS woke up at 4 and decided he wasn't tired anymore. Which could have been worse, because the majority of the time he just sat in his crib talking to his teddy bear while I lay there listening to H snoring. I don't understand how he can sleep when the baby is awake though - I'm not capable of that. However, it got worse when DS started getting cranky around 5 (probably because he was tired). H managed to get us into a ginormous fight, and DS finally settled to sleep around 5:30 - just in enough time for me to not be able to fall back asleep before my 5:50 alarm. So I've been up since 4, crying for a portion of it, and just hoping things get better from here.
We're also having a house stager come to our house this afternoon (someone our realtor sends to all her houses), and I'm hoping against hope she doesn't give us a million more things to do before we list. We've worked hard getting the house into decent shape, hoping it pays off!
Morning. We had a crappy night and LO has already pinched her finger in her activity table, so I have not had a break this AM. We face timed H for a bit and he made me really hungry for BBQ!
We have moms group today and I need to get her a toothbrush. I'm not in the mood for moms group, but I said I'd bring something for the ice cream bar they're creating, so I have to go.
I'm home again today because of my back. I scheduled a massage for this morning and am really hoping it helps. Heat, Advil, stretching, and rest can only do so much. I'm almost positive if I went to the doctor they would tell me I can't take any muscle relaxers because I'm still bfing. DH and I are going to Vegas this summer. He has a conference to go to and we're going babyfree. I'll get to have time to myself to explore/sleep/hang out and do nothing during the day and we'll do fun things at night.
Eta I just got an email saying "Re: Consolidated Loan Account with U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION (account#s)
Dear JessiLa:
Congratulations! Our records show that the account listed above is paid in full. " Hooooraaaay!

Hugs jillywilly, I hope you get a break at some point today and the house stuff goes well later.
carrots, does your daycare offer a sibling discount? I forgot when did you enroll DS?
All the daycares near me only accept kids 2+ and there are virtually no moms groups that are close by. How do you guys search moms groups/good mommy & me classes. My sister is yet again asking me when I'm taking him and all I say is "soon" and change the conversation.
jessila try getting in to see a chiropractor holliberry28, we do a library time on Tuesday mornings but we're the only ones that go. The mommy group in my town (found them on Facebook) hasn't met in several weeks. The nearest Gymboree is like 45 minutes away. Swim lessons are closer to 25 min away but crazy expensive. (Or maybe not, but I just can't see paying that much for so little time)
I stayed up until 11:30pm because I couldn't put the book club book down. I'm finished it now though, let's just hope I remember enough to answer questions later on lol
I read it last year sometime. I still remember most, but will have to skim parts before we discuss.
holliberry28 I found a great fb page of local resources/classes. Id start with the library because its usually free and has multiple times to go. Music class has been great for us, the program is Music Together but there are lots. I know you mentioned being a little nervous and music is great because you sing the whole time - no pressure to small talk And gymboree type classes have lots of names - The Little Gym, My Gym, etc. Are you a part of any mom groups on fb? Like babywearing or a clothing b/s/t, you could always ask that group for suggestions. Another way we have found out about things is asking at a local baby boutique, they usually have the skinny on these things I hope you find something fun for both you and lo!

Is the library time you go to in your current city? Maybe we will drive out there and join you guys. The one we've been going to is on break until June.

Good morning!
I'm pretty sure I drove through a hurricane last night. In the Midwest. I also have no idea if the tornado sirens were going off, or if the truck engine was just sounding weird.
So far this morning, H got J a bottle and changed him so I could sleep for an extra half hour, so that was nice. I'm still not completely functional this morning though. More coffee, please!
Good Morning!! I know I have been MIA for a few days, work has been extremely busy and stressful. But on the flip side, DH got a job offer last night!! He also had a 3rd interview for a company that he really wants to work for so we are hoping that one comes through as well. But if anything he has a job and that makes me very happy and a huge stress reliever off of our shoulders!!
MIL is being honored tomorrow night and we are going to be in a great deal of professional pictures. I got a spray tan on my lunch break so I look good in the pictures. DH turns to me and was like you look like an umpolumpa. Now I know im not orange, so hes either calling me fat or telling me I don't look good. Jokes on him though because ive gotten so many compliments on my tan its not even funny.
Todays going to be another stressful day at the office, BUT on the flip side, I am off tomorrow for said event so I just have to make it until 445pm and then I get a day to relax!
It's 630am both kids have been awake since 6. animal mechanics is on the TV. I'm kind of bored so thinking about heading to the grocery store with them at 8.

I found my moms group on MeetUp. I like it because it was really specific to my area instead of a large group, although my SIL joined a larger group near her and used it to make a couple mom friends, then ditched the group.
You can also check if the JCC has anything. I have a friend that runs the program in her town. And LBB's daycare was through a Jewish day school that did a mommy and me program also.

Yea, in my current town. It starts at 9:30am on Tuesdays and at 1 on Thursday afternoon. We've missed the last few Thursday's because C has been napping during that time.
dmoney congrats on your H getting a job!! That's awesome!
Ps umpaloompa to me equals =orange. Hope your H was kidding?
HAHA he was, he even apologized this morning. Ill try and upload a picture of what I looked like yesterday and what I look like today now that I have showered.

Not typically , but he peed everywhere this morning. He must have been holding it until I got his diaper off. It was all in his face and ears so he just went straight in the tub and loved it.

Woke up to a diaper explosion and then B started crawling away mid-change. Good times. She has also just discovered that throwing food on the floor makes the dog come running, so her entire breakfast has ended up tossed.
Hugs jillywilly, I hope you get a break at some point today and the house stuff goes well later.

I forgot if you work full time or not? I'm not sure how your area is but in my old neighborhood the mommy n me activities were all during the weekday which is hard if you work full time. That why I never did mommy n me. I literally called my local mommy n me group and they said they don't accept working moms.

I do work full time. I'm out of the house 7:30-5:15 every day. So any groups I find would have to be on the weekends, usually by 10 am, which is the only chance I can catch up on any sleep.
