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!
Hahahaha I have to ask my husband about this (he is Chinese).

Today is my niece's first birthday, which is an extra special deal because she was a micropreemie born at 25 weeks. She has done so good and we are so proud of how far she has come!
Our new stroller was supposed to be delivered by 8pm tonight and it's 8:41. I don't care that it's late - I wouldn't care if it showed up Monday - but the FedEx guy had better read the note I put on the door that says "knock, don't ring - kids are asleep".
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
So grateful to be part of this club too but the monthly payment makes me a little nauseous!
MH didn't give me anything for our anniversary. I'm not really surprised because he's never really been one to give gifts... But I can't lie and say I'm not disappointed

I totally understand the disappointment! As someone who is really uncomfortable receiving gifts I actually have to work really hard to make sure the people in my life who like receiving gifts feel appreciated. If you haven't read about the 5 love languages I definitely recommend it - it has helped me understand and meet others expectations much better. I need verbal affirmations and could care less about gifts but realize my husband is actually quite the opposite.
Back from the olympics. Tally of events: sucked big time at beer pong, won points for wearing DD during flip cup, avoided games where balls flew at my face, dominated target shooting. Kind of odd because other than this once a year ritual I've never shot a paintgun, or any gun for that matter.
Apparently women are better shots... I only shoot once a year at an annual German festival we go to but always beat my husband in a target shoot and usually do quite well in a contest where you shoot at a wooden bird. I never shot a gun prior to meeting him and going to this festival.

On our way home from the football game. It was a success overall. Did some major NIP which I felt great about. C was a huge hit. He was adorable with his little earmuffs on.

Well, it's 10:45 local time and still no stroller, and FedEx's site is down for maintenance so I can't see if they updated the status. That's just annoying.
My baby fights sleep like its his job. Seriously - night after night of hours of soothing/rocking/nursing/trying every trick in the book.
Like for commiseration only. I nursed, rocked and soothed for over an hour... finally went to put my toddler to bed and MH put a binky in her mouth (which she normally hates) And she passed the fuck out.)
So... I'm sure I could probably find this somewhere but I'm way too sleep deprived to figure it out. How do you post pics? Sorry I'm so late to the game but you ladies are just what I needed right now!

I'm mostly mobile so I just upload directly from tapatalk - I think other people use postimage?
I finally gave up and stuck ds in the swing. Ten minutes in and the thing has knocked him out.

Hi guys! Just checking in while I'm laying in bed waiting to see if B and O actually stay asleep after moving them to their rnp. I was visiting family for two weeks and just got home Thursday night, so their schedules with feedings and sleeping are all off. Plus they're used to being held almost constantly now, haha.
In other news, I return to work in a week and am having a lot of feels about it. I'm trying not to think that this is my last week at home with them.
I promise I lurk and read when I can! I just feel like I never have time to post anymore, but Hopefully I will when I go back to work.

You need the url of the image you want to post. If you're mobile you need the pot it in this code [img]url here[/img]
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.
STOP BRAGGING!!!
Just kidding I'm just #jealous!!!!!!!
DS1 was such an awful sleeper for 5 years, I deserve this! Haha. Luckily, not having naps at daycare has finally got him sleeping decently at night. G still wakes up several times a night to eat, and I think he sleeps less in a 24 hour period than a lot of 2 month olds, but it's still better in comparison to his brother, who just did not need much sleep.

Part of our pre-marital counseling from the church was reading that book! And you really hit the nail on the head! I'm super uncomfortable receiving verbal compliments but words of affirmation is one of my husband's main love languages so I try to be verbally supportive.

Noooo it's so disappointing when that happens hope it comes bright and early tomorrow am
Horrible night last night. DH has been sick with a fever/achiness/feeling crappy since Friday so I've pretty much been on my own with the kids. Got DS down at 915 last night and I was asleep by 10. The toddler wakes up at midnight and cries out for me every 5 min until 3am. Finally I gave up and brought her downstairs. We laid on the couch together but never fell asleep. Then DS woke up at 4am. Guess I'm up for the day :/ I'm praying my in laws will take DD today so I can maybe rest a little.

I'm so freaking tired. I just want to cry.

This sounds horrific. I am so sorry! I hope you can get some rest soon. (Hug)
So my phone went off this morning, waking me up. It was a fb message from a patron at the library who tracked down my fb. She demanded to know when I was coming back because my baby "has to be six weeks old by now" and she misses me.
I feel a lot of things...
Annoyance at being woken up. Annoyance at being told what I should be doing. Touched people miss me. Impressed by someone's attention span and that they care enough to find my fb... And maybe a little bit sad because for all my complaints I did like working there and I do miss it a little.
