It's the freaking weekend!

[k3am]

I'm feeding DS. During his FIRST wake up! We're talking about 5.5ish hours, which is a new record! Holy engorgement.

[babycaps]

After 5 great nights....up hourly tonight. Ugh

[twocents6708]

Hello sleep regression. We were up every one-two hours.

[babycaps]

I have 400 steps just from overnight wake ups. Need more sleep. This is not the way to start the weekend.

[twocents6708]

Apparently we had an earthquake here in the Midwest. Somehow DH and I were in the same house and I didn't even notice the shaking....he thinks I am crazy. Maybe because I didn't have the luxury of still being asleep in bed at the time!

[fishbulb]

Fall weather is finally here! The high today is in the low 80s. We're taking a family trip to the zoo and otherwise enjoying an unscheduled weekend.

[aaemommy]

Cam slept 11 hours straight last night. I'm so glad because he napped a grand total of 1.5 hours the entire time he was at daycare yesterday! I was worried we were in for a loooong night. Now we're packing for the lake. The next 2 nights will be spent with all 4 of us in the same room so sleep is going to be nonexistent. I'm so glad we had a good night last night anyway! 😊

[aaemommy]

Also I washed Cam's 9 month clothes last night and am packing some of them to take with us this weekend. Tear!

A lot of people don't realize there is a major fault line in part of the Midwest. Also, some earthquakes work in a radial pattern, like spokes on a bike wheel, so it's possible someone in another part of the house could feel it and you couldn't. If you aren't used to it, it can be scary.

Anyone else excited for some college football?

[ellipses]

A picture of DS1 wearing a onesie from my alma mater popped up in my time hop. I'm going to have to try to find it for DS2 to wear and do a comparison photo. I *think* we salvaged it from the flood. The first football game is today so I was planning on wearing our gear anyways.

We are all sick with colds. I've been on the fence about taking the kids to the Dr. but DS2 only had one bad night and has seemed a little better since then (and way better than the rest of us).

[teraiin]

I love dh but he's so hyper this morning it's making my anxious. Lol

I'm alive!! And the meds are controlling my fever. Still having cold sweats and nasty cold. Boo. Also had to cancel a visit from a bestie who was traveling from out of town to see us today. 😢 Probably for the best. H and baby I are at the store getting me liquids and my only responsibility for the next 48 hours is to rest and nurse.

One year ago today I got my BFP. I almost didn't test. My cycles were pretty irregular, we had been ttc for 10 months. Some of the lovely ladies on GKU encouraged me me to test, but I was already at work. I fell asleep talking to a coworker at work and felt so tired. When I came home I decided to test without really thinking it would be positive. 😄

[k3am]

I need to buy DS a jersey. DDs was.. Kaep, which we pretty much burned after the first few games last season. (It actually got donated) We got her a 2t so she could wear it two years and she wore it the year he was doing well, but now that he's a cocky asshole sucky shit player I can't stand, there's no way I'm buying him another Kaep one. I was planning on getting him a 00 jersey with his name on it to frame later, but they sold out of 12 months.

My bestie felt it alright!!! She and I were on the phone at the time!!

[babycaps]

My DS1 is 2.5 today. Cray

[snoris]

Does anyone else's kid squeal like a little piggy?

I am such a bad business woman. I am so nervous bc I just insisted one of my DC mamas pay according to our contract... Clearly I have no spine.

[westiemom]

Happy bday to your son babycaps!

Sorry for the rough nights and sicknesses!

DD just puked for the first time. I think she gagged herself. It went all down MIL back and the floor at our hotel. I was so upset and definitely didn't handle it well. We are snuggling in our hotel bed now while she naps and everyone else is at breakfast.

She did great at the football game last night though! Yay for college football returning!

I hope all our Midwestern friends are ok! So scary!

[k3am]

snoris a contract is a contract! Unless she wants to pay you more than is in the contract or all upfront (1st of month for sept, for example vs on Mondays or whatever) you stick to that contract!

[aaemommy]

snoris Don't feel bad about insisting she pay according to contract! She knew what she was signing up for. Sorry you're already dealing with this. That didn't take long at all.

[aaemommy]

I'm kind of bummed I missed feeling the earthquake. Everyone living around me was posting that it was strong enough to wake them up. I was up with Cam and it happened about the time A woke up but I didn't feel or hear anything weird. I wonder if it is what woke A up! I just assumed it was because I had used the bathroom/ turned on the hall light.

[nerdykitten]

Damian woke up around the time of the quake and Juno was being a bit nuts-o so maybe they felt it, but I didn't.

I'm in Waco!

Eta: no one skin suit me please 😉

I have major mom guilt over the fact that I don't love weekends. Our toddler loves pushing limits right now and is screaming for no reason other than to get attention. He is a really sweet boy though and he just doesn't want to share the parental love! I feel horrible that I wish he could go to daycare on weekends too, just for half a day.

[k3am]

babycaps, that's how I was before going back to work. No need to feel guilty at all!
