DS is a teething terror. His gum is now shaped like the canine tooth under it that still hasn't broke through. Ugh.
But In good news, we finally got our butcher block countertop installed! And DH, DS, and I went to lunch with some friends. And now he's napping and all my chores are done!
lilyelayne I'm jealous of your new counter AND your napping child! C decided naps are for the weak today. And she wouldn't let me lay her down until 11:30 last night. If I lay her down and she cries, she gets so worked up that she throws up, every time. Oh. I literally JUST put my finger in her mouth and a new tooth poked through. That explains it. Ignore me.
We have a birthday party tomorrow that I'll have to wake C up about an hour early from her nap for (assuming she actually wants to nap). I hate waking her up ever but she's usually fine if we're out and about.
lilyelayne ooooo I love it! And your backsplash is so cute too!
Thanks! The backsplash came with the house the rest of the counters are tiled to coordinate with the backsplash but we didn't want to try to find matching tile when we replaced the cabinet. So we went with butcher block. I'm totally stoked to have such a nice prep space for cooking!
lilyelayne oh yeah that was smart. Our kitchen is the one room in our house that we haven't remodeled because it's really not too bad. But I love looking at other kitchens and dreaming about upgrading ours someday.
Last night DH, my sister, and I went to summer nights at the zoo to see a band we like. It was fun (but it felt kind of weird not having at least dd1 with us at the zoo). My parents love watching the girls, especially now that they don't babysit like they used to. And the girls love having them there. And i like occasional kid-free time. A win win win! After the band they put on a laser light show that was really cool. Next time we go I want to bring dd1 bc she would love it!
Today we are probably just chilling because dh leaves on business for a week on Sunday
Oh this week has been so busy! Wednesday we got our AC replaced, so we finally have a comfortable house. Well except for the nest had apparently forgotten how we like our house so I've been adjusting it constantly. We went to the doctor on Thursday and I'm nine weeks along, official due date is V's birthday! So maybe the little one will come late so that doesn't happen. But I guess we'll see. The zoo was wonderful yesterday! Thanks for the birthday wishes lilyelayne, it turned out to be a really fun day. They've made a ton of changes at the Zoo since I was there last. Turns out they have this huge playground and splash park now, but didn't see it till the zoo was closing so next time we'll have to plan on that. V did good with the limited naps. No one noticed his shirt until dinner! I couldn't believe it. Especially since we changed it mid day. But it was funny because my mom asked if it was a hand me down from his cousin (who is an only child) and we're like nope it's his. It took her a minute to put it together, lol.
dreemkin that sounds like so much fun! It's great having a little break now and then, especially since you know your kids & their grandparents are enjoying it too.
kartish I laughed at asking if the big brother shirt was a hand me down! Glad the zoo was fun & looks like a good option for future family days. My sister and I have birthdays 6 days apart and it was never a big deal (though we are also 6 years apart so that probably helped). DH and his two sisters all have birthdays within the same week. Uh at least my ILs were consistent? I checked and their anniversary is NOT nine months prior
Happy birthday kartish! That's so funny it took them so long to notice the shirt! That's how I want to tell our family when we have a second and MIL is obsessed with C's clothes so I know she'll notice in like a second lol.
kartish so glad to hear your appointment went well. Happy belated birthday. Sounds like a great couple days! Lol as well to your mom's reaction. And yay to AC!
I think we are finally done with the work on the kitchen - just need the final inspection and I need to find stools for the island, the ones we have are too high. I kind of just want to go get the same ones at counter height from Ikea but DH really hates Ikea for some reason so I'll probably look at Home Goods and ultimately end up ordering something online.
DD refused to nap today, we walked down to a music festival in our local park and she slept a bit in the stroller but not nearly enough. She just screams every time I put her in the crib. At one point I had rocked her to sleep and was in the process of lowering her into the crib and her little eyes snapped open and she looked at me and said "No No". I think teeth are causing us lots of sleep problems lately, we're starting to see those molars starting to pop through.
Oh man dmorgendorffer I hope she's not trying to drop her nap. My LO has been crying a lot lately when I put her down for her nap. I keep thinking, too soon, kid. Too soon. And yay about your kitchen! I am with your H regarding Ikea but we do have counter height stools from there at our island...
Today is rough. It started out badly with our bird freaking out which makes me worry and hate leaving him. I hope is he back to normal when I get home.
We had power issues here at work causing a whole bunch of running around but things are running smoothly now.
I hope you are feeling better seamonster. Food poisoning is the worst.
I'm off to a cottage this week with the ILs. LO wasn't happy about the pack n play in the closet but it's only for one night since one SIL only comes for one night. And she wouldn't come if she didn't get the room she wants for her kid.
The cottage has a beach which is awesome. LO was already getting right in there and sat right down lol
My DD1 is going on her first sleep over...to my sister's. I'm not sure if she's going to make it all night but she seemed excited about it today. It's weird not having her here. My H is gone too until Friday. I'm watching all the movies tonight and making some kind of unhealthy dessert

seamonster hope you're feeling better dmorgendorffer yay for almost being done with the kitchen reno!! dreemkin I logged on to say I hoped solo parenting both girls at bedtime went well, but turns out you've only got one kiddo tonight enjoy your dessert!
dmorgendorffer I hope DD starts napping like she regularly does, but just in case...I still rock C to sleep for bedtime and nap and I wait until her whole body twitches to lay her down. So weird, I know. But it's how I know she's totally out. If I try to lay her down before then she grabs on to me and won't let me put her down, so I feel your pain
Sorry for being a PW. I'm cheap wine buzzed and can't keep all my replies straight 😁
dreemkin so what kind of dessert did you make?! Your night sounds awesome! DH has only been away one night since C was born so I invited my SIL over and we had Chinese and rented the movie Sisters. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are my dream team so obvi it was awesome.
I'm happy to say my day did improve. Jackie (our bird) is acting himself so this morning he must have just woke up in the wrong side of the happy hut.
V climbed out of the tub all by himself today while DH was turned around talking to me. Little man is getting so big!
We told the inlaws tonight about the baby. MIL already is telling everyone we didn't tell yet on that side. It drives me crazy but to DH that's just how his family is, so he doesn't care she tells everyone our news. Oh well, I'd leave it to DH anyway so it doesn't really matter.
lilyelayne you are sweet. I miss my DD1 tortor4 I made a chocolate souffle and topped it with all this bad stuff like peanut butter and nutella. It was good but I regret the calories. Then I watched this movie called Men, women, and children. I thought it would be all romantic and sweet about families but it just bummed me out and scared me (I don't want my little girls to be teenagers...ever). kartish thumbs up to improvement.
