I feel like we will never get back to longer than 4 hr sleep stretches. He was sleeping for at least one 6 hr stretch for a while but it's been over a month now and he's waking up every 3 hrs and coming unglued if I don't feed him right away.

I feel you on the sleep thing. I can get a 5-6 hour stretch but then it's up every 2 after that. And always nursing.
As for the weekend, I finally got my car back last night (it's been at the shop) so I'm freeeee haha. I have a barre quarterly meeting today and then hitting up hobby lobby for playroom decor stuff.
We're headed over to my dad's to go to a football game this afternoon. Hopefully it will be okay! With 2 small kids, I'll consider it a win if we make it 1 quarter inside the stadium! Haha!
I'm a mixed bag of emotions this morning yay hormones. I'm happy to see DS grow and develop and learn. But I have the dads that my little baby is growing up. He has clear preferences with toys, picks what he wants to play with, hates snuggling, likes sitting up... Lol
My sympathies on the sleep guys. DSs sleep seems slightly better but he never have the best sleep anyway. We pretty much always had 2-3 wakeups and we've slowly transitioned to 1-2 wakeups but in exchange he has decided the last few days to get up almost two hours earlier lol
Of some nights are just awful and I stop counting wakeups because it just gets depressing 😂
It's my 3 year olds birthday party today ....... Someone hold me ;-) lots of kids coming over - pray the damn pirate bounce house fits in my back yard!

We're having Ds1's party today too. I have to decorate a Thomas cupcake cake this morning. Wish me luck. It's probably going to be a Pinterest fail. Lol

We are headed to a bday party this AM during DD's nap time. My mom and sister are coming over later to swim and celebrate my sister's bday. I'm already having a bad hair day. Damn humidity.

I'm taking the longest bath ever as soon as H wakes up, then we're going to pick up a friend and he's going to hang out with us for the day. I'm hoping to get them to agree to play a game of Smallworld or something. Depends how Ridley is acting. She's been so so fussy/needy lately. Hopefully that passes soon. I hate not being able to make her happy.
Both of my kids are here and I'm hiding upstairs like Quasimodo. I CAN be around them(3ft away) but not for very long. I just don't want to upset them. I'm so torn.

That would be so hard. And how can you tell a toddler that you can't touch them? Ugh, I'm so sorry.

The baby is sleeping so I can see him from a distance and the toddler is outside playing so I think I'm going to go out and watch him play. I video chatted with them yesterday and he saw that I was at my in laws but he hasn't mentioned it today.
Nutshell: I had a good cry this morning. MH told me my Mom was bitching to him about me. Not because he wanted to make me feel bad, but bc we need to set some boundaries with her again. When we accept her help with stuff it suddenly becomes her way or the highway and she becomes extremely critical if I don't spend my time how she thinks I should or if I don't do a chore how or when she thinks I should.
Word vomit: This week was rough with a sick baby, horrendous sleep regression, (interrupted sleep 7 nights in a row adds up, don't you think?), and MH being gone Tuesday-Friday, and a tantrum-y (messy) toddler at DC. Forgive me, but working 10 hours and being solely responsible for a sick and fussy baby and being exhausted myself, I'm not exactly working at full steam here. And, as an adult, I am perfectly capable of deciding how I spend my very very few minutes of free time. I asked her to come over and spend time with baby I so I could do what I need to do. Well apparently she thinks I should have different priorities and feels very comfortable criticizing my choices. She also yelled at me while holding my baby and that really really bothers me. And I was trained very well not to stick up for myself or disagree so... this happened when I was really pregnant and she thought I should have been doing more chores. The only thing that worked was banning her from helping out. We will have to make a visiting only rule. I'm sure the sink full of dishes will drive her nuts.

Question: yesterday daycare had just warmed up a bottle for DS when I picked him up. I brought him home and nursed him and put the bottle in the fridge, would you reuse this today? I do not want to waste this. Should I use within 24 hours?
