DS slept six hours! Then another two... Now if I could stretch that two out a bit longer....

[k3am]

I'm optimistic that after this feeding he'll go back to sleep for at least an hour or so until DD wakes.

DH is WFH today to help me pack the car up and then me and the kids will hopefully be on the road by 9 or so.

Two kids in a car for 5ish hours.. Pray for me! 😂

DD woke me up before DS. He also from 8:30-4:45! I was actually freaked out a bit and checked to make sure he was still breathing.

DD's best friend is coming over for lunch to help keep her occupied for a little while.

Lo is much better today thank goodness. My parents are watching both boys tomorrow while I head to Toronto to see the radiation oncologist. So they'll have two happy boys.

I woke up in a bad mood. I hope it passes. :/

DS2 only woke up once overnight. He had his shots yesterday and seems to be fine so far.

[twocents6708]

westiemom, maybe some coffee?

[twocents6708]

Speaking of coffee, I have finally perfected my iced coffee recipe at home, which is certainly saving me some money since its $4 at the coffee shop!

Sorry! Hope it passes and that O goes easy on you today!

[mrsw062610]

The worst. I feel so bad for ds1 when that happens. I have no patience for him on those days. They don't happen often thankfully.

[CattyNattyRN]

Well H WAS a good sleeper. I feel like since his shots he's been all messed up. He went from sleeping 6+ hours at a time to now only 3 for the first stretch and then up every 2 after that. Whyyy?

[babycaps]

CattyNattyRN, maybe he knows you don't have to be awake for clinicals
He will go back to his old self!!

DS did 7:30-11 and 11-4 and then 4-7 with a little wake up at 5:30. It's getting SO MUCH BETTER.

k3am, all the good vibes for your drive.

My friend texted me yesterday. She has a 2.5yr old and she is yo-yoing on weight big time. She is about 18lbs away from her goal weight and although she's able to get there, she can't maintain. She texted me because she knows I'm a WW lifetime member and her mom is too! So SHE IS JOINING and I am going to do it with her. I told DH once I get back to my goal weight (140-145) I get an ENTIRE new wardrobe. His reply, "To Barneys we go". Ok, I get it, he wants me to spend as much as needed so I feel good in my skin and clothes, but Barneys is too pretencious for me! Nordstrom and Macys will be better!!! But I can't wait. I have 25-30lbs to go. BRING IT.

It's definitely helping! Feeling much better!

[o2girl]

W likes to have "conversation" during her morning boob bar trip.... She can't talk and drink at the same time however. It's cute how she tries.

[ellesea]

That's so cute o2girl. I keep waiting for lo to start smiling while eating. Since he's bottle fed we're face to face and I keep trying to get him to smile.

[ellesea]

I must be to only one hoping I hang on to these extra 10lbs. I have a butt and I would like to keep it. Last time I lost the extra weight somewhere between 2-4 months pp.

[twocents6708]

I honestly think it will be easier to get back on track nutrition wise after I go back to work and can be more conscientious of what I eat. Right now it's whatever I can eat one handed, which is often drive through or junk food.

Ah that's amazing! I've got mine pretty good as long as I have the right creamer!

[teraiin]

Dropped DS off at his grandmas. I feel sort of lost without him! The plan is for me to take 3 hours to nap, shower, and whatever else to relax...

[mrssqueegy]

DS2 just unleashed a week's worth of poop in his bathtub this morning. It took us an hour to clean up because he has his rotavirus vaccine yesterday which is a live vaccine so I'm trying to disinfect everything so we don't all get rotavirus. He seems very pleased with himself now.

+1 work keeps my mind busy and gives me scheduled eating times.

I have a pretty good iced coffee down too. But Starbucks got me with their vanilla cream cold brew coffee! Soo yummy! I need to get the stuff to do a cold brew at home. I think it will save our wallet when I go back to work!

Eta or I have good food but have to scarf it down which leads to snacking a ton later since I'm not getting the eating experience. It's a total mind game but doesn't help the "starving" feeling I get once the kids are down!

Yes, I can totally relate to that too. One of the few perks to going. Sick to work as well will be time to savor a meal!

I saw bottled Starbucks cold brew coffee at Target the other day and considered getting it. It was about $4 for a half gallon jug so it still would probably save money in the long run.

That is like my worst nightmare. I'm so paranoid after the rotavirus vaccine. Lo got it yesterday too.

[cuppycakes]

I haven't been around much the last couple days. I hope everyone is doing good! I caught DS's cold and now it seems like DD caught it too. It's so sad seeing her sick. We're doing the walk through on our new home tonight and we will move some stuff in the garage. Then I gotta get our current home ready for its walk through tomorrow. I don't have time to be sick!
