Umbilical cords fell off Thursday and Friday so we gave the girls their first bath today.
Finn has an outie belly button and Evie has an innie. I think it's so cute that they have little differences.
Also do you think we should start a separate infant check in since so many of us are having outside babies? I can start it Monday if we think it would be better.

At the family cottage this weekend. Floating in the lake is bliss for my back! All the seaweed and sand in my swimsuit is not. But it sure beats the heat!
We had ds's first swim class today. He did great, but got bored quickly because he's been in this class before. He did it last year, but since he didn't take any classes since then he couldn't go on.
We stayed close to home today. DS is not doing great in the poop department. Twice he went in his undies. Ugh.
So here is a random question. DS got invited to a birthday party and the moms name is "Kayrie". How the hell do I pronounce that??
Like "kayley" but with the r sound? Is it a horrible spelling of "Carrie"?
I have to call to rsvp and I dont want to say "is this so and so's mom?"
I would start the phone call with "hi this is so and so calling to rsvp." Then add in something like "also I would love to know how to properly pronounce your name."

We stopped at the consignment store and picked up a few things. I did find a cheap maternity swimsuit there that fits so I will be going to the waterpark with L and H tomorrow. I will most likely just stay in the lazy river the entire time but any water sounds pretty nice right now.
Tomorrow we also have to clean and put the car seat and spare base in the cars.

My kiddo spiked a fever this afternoon. Ibuprofen helped and she perked right up buy I feel so bad when she feels bad. Plus day camp starts Monday. No sickness! Be healthy!
I had a nice day. My ILS watched my kid (pre-fever) and I went to lunch with my best friend. We live 45 minutes away and hardly see each other so it was great to just chitchat for a couple hours.
In random news, I'm having the worst sunflower luck ever. I grow them every year and this year I have three so far. I went out, bought, and planted a packet of sunflower seeds yesterday. I don't care if they bloom in October, I want them. Thankfully my daylilies and hollyhocks are blooming and gorgeous.
Returned a cloth diaper to amazon and Returned a brestfriend pillow that I didn't realize I ordered was an inflatable one....but I did find one on sale, used the little gift card we had and a coupon for it!
Also went to once a child store and found a few cheap things we didn't need but will be glad to have double of. Yay two story house. Lol
Got a ton of fruit. All but the kiwis are now prepped to go! I missed having fruit these past few days!

I've done so many RSVPS where I didn't know whose number it was (thanks, preschool invites in the backpack) and voicemail or person I always just say, "Hi, this is Cabbage, Kiddo's mom, calling to rsvp for Lulu's birthday. We're excited to come. Thanks!"
DS slept in until 7- a whole 15 minutes later than normal! I'm surprised because he peed out of his diaper and his whole bed was soaked. Thankfully we have the waterproof covering.
Dh is pissing me off. I'm tired of following him around the house and cleaning up after him. He will leave dishes NEXT to the sink, garbage NEXT to the trash, laundry NEXT to the hamper. I've asked him nicely multiple times to be more aware and knock it off. I'm over it. Now I pick it up and ask if he needs it for something. Passive aggressive isnt my usual style but I'm over it.
Just popping in to say hello!! We got home yesterday and have a lot of adjusting to do! But all is good. I will try to put together my birth story while J is at dc this week.

melody330 the garbage lying right next to the trash is a huge pet peeve of mine. H does it and now so does L. I do not need trash lying on the counter right above the cabinet where the trash can is! It's not that hard to open the cabinet to get to the trash can!
AFM, today H and I will deep clean the house. We really really will. Really.
And we will install the car seat and spare base. We will not get distracted. If I say these enough it's bound to happen right??
This is exactly how I feel! I'm currently in the middle of doing 50 zillion little things I've been meaning to do. DD has decided she's sick even though her fever is gone, so I'm staying in today letting her lay in my bed and watch tv and finally doing the stuff on my mental list. I finally put the tomato cages on my tomatoes that were about to flop over from their own weight. I've only been meaning to do that for three weeks solid! Car seat bases need to go in. Really packing the bag now with toiletries and stuff. Washing the bouncer/rock n play/Bassinet covers. Things like that. We can do it!
I'm also overposting because I'm housebound. DD has decided being sick means she can sleep in my bed tonight and she needs chicken noodle soup on a tray at 10:30 am. But also she can do gymnastics. I'm starting to suspect she's not all that sick.

I don't get the garbage bit. Like he just puts a banana peel on the floor next to it? That would drive me bonkers.
I THINK baby dropped overnight? I am not sure since I'm a FTM. But ever since waking up, I've had dull period like cramps and there is no foot in my ribs. My crotch also just has the general achy feeling like I'm on day 2 of my period.

The garbage is under the counter, so he leaves it on top of the counter....it drives me INSANE
