We're up. C decided he wanted to play at 5:30ish. If today is anything like yesterday- I'm in for a LONG day. C was super clingy and since we're traveling tomorrow and a few things aren't going right in the shop DH decided he was getting up early for work (out the door by 5:30) home to eat and see C at 7 last night, and back to work 8:30-11. DHs aunt stopped by yesterday afternoon and dropped off this adorable (yet obnoxious) toy for C's birthday. vimeo.com/168180988
I was up most of the night nursing Jules we couldn't get her fever down so we did skin to skin all night. Her fever is finally down yay! My supply is going to be amazing today, so that's a plus! I'm off to nap, SO is taking her for a while
Also, very random question: how many days in advance can I make a pasta salad, macaroni salad, and coleslaw?
I always make pasta salad 1-2 days in advance because it tastes better after it soaks in all the juices. And we never finish it the day I serve it, so I would assume it would be good 3-4 days in advance (depending on what all you put in it) I've never made macaroni salad or coleslaw but I'd probably just make them when I made the pasta salad

I agree with this. I would not make more that 3-4 days in advance.
Good Morning!! Today is my Friday!! DH took the baby to daycare this morning and i got to finish my coffee snuggling on the couch with the pup before heading into the office...it was a nice 5 minutes to my self!

I hope V feels better budders. Now I want pasta salad. Yum. Not a lot happening today. Hot lunch at the school for the older kids later and getting ready for the last dance competition of the year this weekend. Happy Thursday!

budders I agree with pp and would do 1-2 days in advance for pasta salad. The others I would probably just try and make 1st thing in the morning he day of the party or the last thing I did before going to bed the night before....depending on what time your party starts:)
Last day of work for me before a nice long 4 day weekend! I'm think I'm going to try tackling nap training though so who knows how "relaxing" it will be:(

I don't know what was up with BH last night. He refused to nurse before bed, so I figured he was just tired. He woke up at 11:50, inconsolable and still refusing to nurse so we tried the bottle, he wouldn't take it from me, but he took it from DH. DH was up with him until 1, when I went in and took over until 1:40, when we finally got him to sleep.

Hope V feels better soon,budders! We'll be going to pick up DD's one year pictures today-so excited to see them in print. Starting a couple weeks ago, DD started spitting out bites of food she didn't want and throwing them on the floor. Now, after a stern "no" every time she did that, she spits it out into her hand and hands it to me instead. Thanks, DD, I'd love a chomped-up handful of banana. Gross.

carolyngrace you can turn that off. Not sure which thread it was in to link you to, but if you go to the "me" tab, then settings, then social settings, you can change it so it won't automatically follow people

Loads of people have started following me recently. I've been assuming that it's a glitch somewhere :-)
Today is going better than I feared. My dad took us to a local garden for some lunch and a walk, which broke up the day nicely. H will be home in less than three hours and we need to do a quick run to the shops and fit in a snack and nap, so my two days without a break have been okay after all.
I watched DD try to walk backwards today. It was the cutest thing, she was lifting her feet so high like a little puppy wearing shoes for the first time or like her feet were sticking to the floor lol. But she made it a few steps!
Otherwise, she's part of the horrible sleeper club the past couple weeks too. I mean, she's never been a fantastic sleeper but she's really having trouble overnight now. As early as it is I'm still thinking her canines are bugging her, since she haa the rest of the teeth leading up to that. Tylenol is the only thing that eventually settles her and she's always rubbing her nose and eyes when she's trying to go to sleep.
I think ds2 is going through a growth spurt, so wouldn't be surprised if he has a new skill soon. Very clingy, some whining and a few night wake ups in the last few days.
Hmmm a lot of that going on around here too. I really am hoping it isn't a new normal.
Finally scheduled first birthday pictures two weekends from now. Timing isn't ideal but DD will be at a birthday party at MIL and it will be a much better experience without her around. The picture place we use will be able to turn them around pretty quickly and we are not mailing invitations.
Oh I have a funny story too. If you like making fun of me.
So I turned too tight leaving an underground parkade a couple weeks ago and dented and scratched up the side of my van pretty good. So after getting the insurance estimate done yesterday I texted my auto body mechanic friend to get into his shop. I worked with him for 5.5 years at the same auto body shop which is where we became friends.
So he asked me for the claim number and explained what it looks like and where it is on the paper and I responded with a sarcastic "I know what a claim number is *goofy tongue sticking out emoji" like, I looked at estimates for over 5 years straight at the exact same place you worked.
He responded "ok, but do you know what a pole looks like?"
Morning all! H is home again with the kids today, not sure if they have any plans.
I think LO is finally starting to eat food. Yesterday he went from 3:15p to 8pm without having a bottle, I was shocked! He ate cucumbers, edamame, and a bunch of pizza. He did have a few very slight gags but no vomit! I'm trying not to get too excited because it seems like whenever he takes a step forward, we end up taking two steps back. But I really hope this is it this time.
Hey! We're on our way home. LO slept like crap again, so I'm hoping she'll fall into a more normal routine when we're home. I'm working tomorrow, so she probably will be up all night. That's how that works, right?
I had an amazing Nutella crepe from a place we stopped off at so h could take a call and use the bathroom. It was SO good, but I'm feeling quite fat today and that sure didn't help!

Someone at the headquarters for my agency (so like, in DC) has decided that emails about an ice cream social that happened yesterday needed to go out to the entire agency. Way to rub it in that I'm not getting ice cream. Not only that, they have leftovers and are doing it again today, so rude!
It's not even Memorial Day "weekend" yet and I've already spent way too much money on Memorial Day Sales! Freshly Picked and June & January seriously suckered me in.
My boss is taking a half day today and taking tomorrow off, so even though that really doesn't matter and she's super laid back, it will be nice and quiet around here and I'm looking forward to it!
Weirdly enough I was just going to come on here & ask if anyone elses child is so clingy they're trying to practically climb inside your skin and generally not knowing what to do with themselves. My Wonder Weeks app (FFTC - I still have this) tells me it's a 'leap' that lasts 28 days ?!!!1!
Having a day gardening & finally opening the pool today!
yeesh that's a long one! Yup mine is weird though he's super clingy and wants me to pick him up but then wiggles right out of my arms. Rinse and repeat. He's constantly at my legs trying to climb them!
