Monday Madness 7/25 (Randoms)

[westiemom]

DD has been asleep an hour and I can't go back to sleep! Ugh. I'm over summer. It's way to hot to function!

[annarose]

It's 5:50 here, I have about an hour before I need to leave for my first day back to work. I'm ready and all of my shits packed so I'm sitting here in a very quiet house with a know in my stomach...... Dropping off your second kid is supposed to be easier at least I have a cute new dress to wear

Thanks - I was so nervous I forgot to eat breakfast. Starving on my ride in! I also smell like sour milk since someone decided to mark her territory by spitting up on me as I was leaving. On a positive note - it's like the universe really wants me to get to work on time, not an ounce of fucking traffic. Crazy

Good luck today annarose

Good luck annarose.

DS surprised me from rolling from back to belly and then back to his back this morning. Man, they grow so quickly!

[mrsw062610]

My BFFs hubby is out of town for work for the week. She's got 2 year old twins and a 10 week old. So we are hanging out a lot this week to help pass the time. I love keeping DD busy during the week and she plays so nice with the twins. They are coming over now to go to the playground across the street from us then we are going to a story time. After nap today then we are going to their house for a movie and play time. Yay!

[ellesea]

Lo slept from 8:30-4:30 and 5-7:30. I was up at 3 out of routine and we had a pretty good thunderstorm that kept me awake.

[ellesea]

Good luck annarose!

[fishbulb]

I hope you have a good first day back annarose!

[aaemommy]

Thinking of you today annarose!

[annarose]

Thanks for the support everyone. It's nice to be back once I finally arrived. I'm sitting and pumping for the first time at my desk. It was nice that H goes into daycare behind me with DD1 and sent me a picture of LO sleeping when she should have been. I will call at noon to find out if she has taken a bottle and how her day is going.

[babycaps]

annarose, good luck:) sounds like its going ok!!

I tried to get LO to nap in crib for a long time this morning. He is now napping on me after falling asleep on boob.

Im supposed to go to a party at work today. I might not go....cant decide.

[helloerrbody]

Have a good day annarose!!

I'm totally not feeling this Monday. I never did go back to sleep after I woke up at 1:30. Insomnia stinks!

That sucks. I'm not feeling very well rested today either. I've got some pretty dark bags under my eyes.

If one more person tells me the best way to get DS to gain weight is to put cereal in his bottle or start him on solids I'm going to scream.

He's not even three months. I'm not doing solids until at least 6 months and from everything I've read they are more for experience and fun than as a calorie substitute

[nerdykitten]

teraiin sorry for the insomnia. I have heard of peds recommending a tiny bit of rice cereal in a bottle to help with weight gain by changing the consistancy of the milk if the issue is caused by reflux/excessive spit up. So it isn't even really for calories, but to help keep down the calorie rich milk.

Not sure what the kids deals are, but they are fighting sleep at the end of the night big time. I ended up with Gwen co-sleeping just so she wouldn't wake the other two. I plan to solidify the exact schedule Chris wants tonight and then tomorrow we are starting and sticking to it.

Have a great day, annarose!

MH has some time off this week to install our new fence!!! YIPPEEEE! It's going to be a 4' wooden privacy fence... I mean, 4' isn't very private, but it's just that the pickets will all be touching each other. We had all the lumber custom cut and delivered which was wayyyy cheaper than getting it from a box store. We just went with the most cost effective cuts that were still great quality. That means they just sent over enormous length boards that we will need to cut down ourselves and we will have to pick a shape and cut the tops of the posts to make it look more decorative. I think I'm going with dog-ears.

Learning something new everyday! I hadn't realized some doctors would do that. These people are telling me to do half and half because it will "bulk" him up. And suggesting I start purées lol. Nope sorry.

I hope the triplets adjust to the schedule ASAP so you guys can get better sleep.

[teraiin]

My dad called to tell me he's bringing me lunch. Yay!!! I hope it's McDonald's....

[k3am]

[nerdykitten]

annarose, good luck today!

Is there anything you can do with a pack of diapers that are already opened but are now too small? I hate to just throw them away.

Off hand I'm thinking it you have a local mom fb buying/selling page of
You're looking for a little cash or trade.

Other ideas: check to see if you have a local pregnancy care center or shelter? I know our pregnancy care center will gladly take diapers. (And most other things)
