What's up this weekend?

No plans here!

[teraiin]

The only plans are MAYBE going to the inlaws pool. Otherwise just relaxing

[twocents6708]

We are helping my mom to move today. Then we have a church BBQ and pool party tomorrow afternoon.

[aaemommy]

We're thinking about going to the local aquarium today. We haven't been and it would be something different and fun to do!
I need some more sleep first though. I'm running on less than 4 hours of broken sleep here.

[teraiin]

Today is our 5 year anniversary. Time flies.

[ellipses]

Happy Anniversary, teraiin!

I'll be hanging out with the family a lot. One of my college BFFs is going to come over this afternoon. I may leave the two older ones with my parents and go out to dinner with her at a local pub that has a huge patio overlooking the water. It would be nice to have a drink and it's so close we can walk there.

My sister is going to a big birthday party for an old friend at a bar and invited me along, but I don't think I'm up for that much partying and don't want to leave the baby. Her kids are going to spend the night so my mom and stepdad will have their hands full. I'd rather wait and get them to babysit when DH is here so we can have a rare, much needed date night. He finally bought his ticket to come here (he already had a ticket to fly home with us). He has a big work event and wasn't sure if he'd be able to get out of it to come to my dad's memorial. It's been a point of contention between us. He still has to do all the prep but can skip the event so he's flying in the morning of the memorial and will rent a car and come straight there to make it in time. I'm so relieved he will be here.

I'm taking ds1 to soccer this morning. And will attempt to sleep the rest of the day.
What a shit night!

Happy anniversary teraiin

I'm going this morning to share my birth story with my Bradley instructor's new class, then off to pick up donor milk. Rest of the day will be just kickin it around here and hopefully taking a nap.

Tomorrow I teach barre but that's it.

We are seeing friends today and taking DS1 to an amusement park tomorrow while the grandparents watch DS2. Tomorrow night we are getting a sitter for both boys and going out to dinner with friends. Hope you all have an excellent weekend!

Oh no! The baby's nursery still isn't complete. The rug I ordered back in February because I knew it would be discontinued was ruined when our house flooded. It was the design inspiration/ color palette for the whole nursery and I was so sad I couldn't find anything like it. I finally found something I liked and ordered it but was wondering why it hadn't arrived before my trip. I just got an email saying their was an inventory error and it was cancelled

Here's the rugs, if you see anything similar, let me know. I want something geometric with gold/teal/navy blue, or something similar like aqua or mint, in at least 5x8.

ETA: Looks like I may be able to find the replacement on another website for more than I paid. I'm still open to other ideas.

Original Rug


Canceled Rug

ellipses I will keep an eye out.

I don't know if you ever post on Parenting but the ladies there seem awesome at finding stuff, decorating, and online shopping. I bet they could help you out.

Happy anniversary teraiin!

Good morning. C only woke up once last night and I'm feeling guilty for not setting an alarm so he didn't go 7 hours.

Tonight DH and I are going to the football game and taking C with us. I hope it goes well.

No big plans here. MH has been fighting bronchitis, so we'll see how he feels. A and I went to his office for lunch last week and his boss and I teamed up to shame him into making a doctor's appointment, because he is a stereotypical man when it comes to going to the doctor. Now he has a zpac and an inhaler now so hopefully he will be on the mend soon.

Beer Olympics sound amazing! DD was conceived at the our annual Easter Beer Hunt (.. Which took place on Memorial Day that year!), so it's right up my wheel house. Sadly, that was the last Easter beer hunt for the group. Kids get in the way.

[k3am]

Our old neighbors are coming to town today to finalize selling their house (they moved a year ago and were renting it out). I'm excited to see them again, but sad too. They were the absolute best neighbors anyone could have ever asked for.

After that, my bestie from HS and her husband are coming up for the night. I'm slightly terrified because he's "vegan" but we're not sure how vegan he is. My friend gave it up in 2 months, but he's still doing it. But he's only doing it because he's an environmental attorney and feels it's required of him.. So if he's not where anyone would know him, is he still vegan? Anyways, we don't know what to feed him lol.

So jealous - of the pool AND the weather that makes it worthwhile to have one!

[nerdykitten]

Happy anniversary teraiin.
Sorry for the crap sleep babycaps.

The Chicago trip has been going great. Today my husband's uncle's girlfriend is going to cut and color my hair at her salon.

[westiemom]

teraiin happy anniversary!

@aeroplaneoverthesea that sounds like a blast!

[westiemom]

I went for a run today and did pretty well considering! DD is down for a nap now.

[fishbulb]

MY just said he wants to join a country club. Aside from this irritating the class warrior in me, I pointed out that we already belong to an expensive club one called "two kids in daycare".

Hahahaha this made me laugh and then cry on the inside

During my 5am feeding I was keeping myself awake on TCF. I saw the adorable pics from the nerdykitten and babycaps gtg. Then I went back to sleep and had a dream DH and I were looking for a restaurant to eat at and somehow ended up at a casino, I set the baby carrier down on a bench next to two baby carriers and realized their mom was babycaps, because I recognized her DH. I know she doesn't have twins and I don't know what her DH looks like. You guys are invading my dreams, haha.

G was sleeping in the rock n play a lot at home, including at bedtime. I was worried about how he would do without one but he's been great. For naps, he's been sleeping where ever, and often falling asleep flat on his back near me (not while nursing!). At night, I've been putting him in an arms reach co-sleeper next to the bed and he's been sleeping there until his 1:30 wake-up. He would never sleep in his co-sleeper on the bed at home. He's in the bed with me the rest of the night, but I'm going to work on getting him into the co-sleeper for the whole night except for feedings. Hopefully it will be easy to keep it up when we get home.

One of the ladies down the street came to visit.. She says DS has a beautiful head and that it's not pancake or donut like Chinese babies. (She's Chinese) ummmm.. Thanks? Wasn't sure how to respond!
