Stupid Monday Is Back

[yummeecookee]

Start of another week. How are you all doing?

[yummeecookee]

We just got back from vaca lats night, so I have a lot to catch up on here at work. Mountains of laundry to do at home, also need to get some grocery shopping done.

I have a ton of laundry / etc at home. need to go find a bridal shower gift for a shower this weekend. Blah. I just want more sleep!

Ugh, E had her 2nd wakeup at 4:15 and I knew there was no way I was getting up at 5 to make it to the gym.

F has decided to fight naps tooth and nail today. So that's fun.

Ugh Monday at work always sucks. My cold hopefully is on its way out. Found out my toddler is going to have to have his tonsils out, that make me depressed. He is too little for any surgeries!!!

[winogirl]

Ugh, I need a weekend to recover from the weekend. I am taking tomorrow off to take F to the state fair though! the weather is supposed to be great so we'll see how it goes!

How is E doing w nursing sunfrogger88? Is she still refusing?
This past wknd I was having some issues w C also. He is fine for his MOTN wakeups (of course!) but during the day, he just wants to play and eat solids. Frustrating.

We were supposed to go to the splash pad this morning but of course we had our first cool morning in quite awhile. It's my husband's short day so we are going to try again when he gets home.

I've also been trying to catch up on cleaning. I feel like I'm never going to be where I want it and always have something else to get done.

So. Tired.

Today was my US and blood work for my NT scan. Baby is super chill. Another total opposite from my girls so still suspecting it's a boy.

Had to drop the girls off at the base daycare. It was DD2s first time being watched by somebody who was not family and she did great. I almost choked up seeing her sitting at the table with all the other babies when I picked her up.

Thanks for asking!!!!

She is doing better! She is still really particular but we're moving over it. Yesterday I was able to nurse her twice at my mom's!!!! I try to change it up at home by either going to her room or just sitting on the floor. I'm also trusting her to tell me when she's hungry.. and she does! The real food she gets helps balance it out.

I mean she only takes about 10oz now during the day while we're apart. From 15/20 before! I'm pumping 14-16oz so I know her need has definitely gone down, too.

I totally would get choked up seeing my kids at DC for the first times too littleredfish.

[ldubhawksfan]

At work. Doing coding basically.

Is it lunchtime yet?!

Last night I wanted to go to sleep at 9 to try to catch up. I go to put the towel load in the dryer at 9 and there are suds all over the floor. FML! Clearly that didn't go how I wanted!

E's first day back to DC, and schedule pick up day for me. I've copied all my class syllabuses (syllabi?), the rooms are getting close to done and I'm just kind of chilling at the moment waiting for my pump break.

I'm really curious to see how much milk E takes at daycare. I sent around 15-18 oz (two bottles were over 5oz full so I don't know much it really was) and while she's still nursing a lot, I haven't really been pumping as much unless I leave one side alone all night. I have these fears that I'm not going to be able to pump enough for her and that I'll have to supplement.

Here's hoping this week is a little better than last. I started given both kids Hyland's cold tablets this weekend because they've had colds for seemingly ever. I think there might be a little bit of improvement, but we'll see after today.

Everything will be okay! We are so close to 1 year!!! 3 more months. And I know of people who transitioned to WCM during that last month . Let real food make up the difference!

I totally did this with DS...started actually around 10 with a 3 to 1, bm to wm ratio.

We had a wedding yesterday, so I took off yesterday and today. I've been a cleaning fool all day. I even opened windows and cleaned the window sills. Maybe some do that all the time?

I started Entourage this weekend and I just finished an episode while stuffing my face with this awesome Protein Fusion Mix from costco

[bluesorceress]

I'm still recovering from the boat outing from hell. I was really looking forward to a day off but I really wish I'd just stayed home with the baby.
