I was up for several hrs last night thanks to pregnancy insomnia. These mornings make me scared for having a newborn and terrified of having a newborn AND a toddler. I will take all the caffeine please.
H comes home today. Yay! We pick him up at the airport this evening. In time for dinner and him to do bedtime.
C would not let me put her down last night. I rocked her in her rocking chair from 8pm to 2am. If I tried to put her in her crib she screamed. And then she made herself puke from screaming (for a whole two minutes while I went to the bathroom). When I tried to bring her into our bed she thought it was play time. Then she was up for the day at 6. Share the caffeine aggiebug

Ahh caffeine indeed. :: passes a mug of caffeine:: I at least just had me awake.
tortor4, aggiebug, Sorry about your rough nights. I hope you can get a nap or two in today.
DD has just started kissing us goodnight before bed. She is so sweet and gentle when she does it, just kind of leans in softly and touches you. The other day I told her to give her grandmother a kiss goodnight and she turned and leaned towards one of the living room cabinets and gave it a gentle peck. She looked so serious when she did it and I just couldn't help myself but started to laugh. And laugh. And laugh. So yeah, I'm the horrible mom who laughs at her kid for showing affection. MOTY right there.
aggiebugtortor4 hope y'all have restful days and better nights!
First swim lesson is this morning! And then 15 month appt in the afternoon. Then we may or may not accompany DH to pick up his suit for this weekend's wedding.
@alyllyra I loled at that. At our library, there's a giant teddy bear that sits on the chair the C hugs every time she sees. There's also one of those yellow, slow down children at play signs close by. Yesterday she gave that a hug too. One of the librarians walked by and said "hmmm, I've never seen a kid hug that one before" as she was laughing. Our kids just have lots of love to give!
I have to go in on my days off this week for inventory, so today may be my only day off this week. Which makes me not want to do my usual a Tuesday tasks of cleaning and running errands.
But it's a pretty day and we are leaving for a walk right now. Cleaning can wait till nap time.

tortor4 and aggiebug, hope you have better nights tonight! tortor4 yours from last night sounds almost exactly like my Saturday night was this weekend. I do not know why she will lay quietly and fall asleep if I holder her in the chair in her room but if I take her to our bed she just wants to crawl around and play.
I woke up with an awful sinus headache and worked from home today - which included getting up at 6 to get DD ready for daycare and then going back to bed until 9. The only other child that has been in DD's room at daycare since she started moved up to the toddler room yesterday, but DD wont move up until August. It seems like they've been hanging out together so much lately I wonder if she'll miss him or not really notice him not being there.
Been a crazy couple days and need to catch up on the randoms still but long story short, LO has a really nasty lump/bite (??) on her leg. We don't know what it's from and she has a fever. If it's not improved by tomorrow I'm taking her to doctor.
G loved his swim lesson! I was underwhelmed with the instructor but he had a good time.
15 month appointment went well. 31" tall, 23lb3oz, says he's very advanced verbally. She loves that he signs in addition to speaking.
We went to town to pick up DH's suit for the wedding he's in Saturday. When we got home there was a puppy in the road. He's very young and covered in fleas. DH is walking the neighborhood knocking on doors trying to find the owner.
Finally home and DS is asleep. Flight was delayed an hour so we paid for lounge access which was really the same as buying food and drinks outside in the airport, but with good WiFi and toys for DS. DS and I crashed on the plane 3, almost 3.5 hours past bedtime. The excitement and a late nap did it. The late nap was supposed to be early bedtime, but didnt work.
So glad we're taking tomorrow off. The apartment is so hot that my coconut oil in the cabinet completely melted. Fans and open windows for everyone.
My heart broke a little tonight. We were going to go to my parent's/family lake house tomorrow just to spend the day with family. But with DD2's fever and it being 2 hours away, we're going to stay home. I guess in the confusion of it all I didn't tell DD1. When getting ready for bed tonight she said she was excited about going to the lake tomorrow and I had to disappoint her. I know disappointment is a part of life and a lesson to learn but damn is hard to do to my child. I really wanted to go too =(
lilyelayne all good new! Yay! seamonster it sounds like it's a much deserved day off; enjoy! aggiebug it'll be tough because having a newborn is always rough with the motn business but what is scaring me lately is after the "keeping them alive" stage - the "raising them right" part... Having two at these ages is tough. Especially when LO is learning to bite her sister. @alyllyra and tortor4 that's sweet!
And last but not least; sorry for all the rough nights =(
dreemkin Oh no, that's a little scary. I hope it either looks 100% better tomorrow, or the doctor can help and get her something to be feeling better. That's too bad about missing the lake too.
lilyelayne any luck with finding the puppy's home?
Sorry for those ladies with lack of sleep troubles. Hope it improves soon! V is on and off with his canines going up and down, so sleep is always a question.
Trying to get the apartment down from 80F to 70-75F. I've got a fan on in DS's room, but need to go shopping for short sleeve onsies since we only own 3 and they're all in the laundry. Hopefully he sleeps ok despite the heat.
And I found out it might be a month before I get a decision about getting our records from the hospital. I'm going to call tomorrow and ask about getting the actual thing since we're leaving the country. I really just want his growth chart and physiotherapy notes.
