It's the Weekend! (Randoms)

[annarose]

babycaps - I'm sorry about your nap situation. DD1 dropped her home nap 3 months after turning 2 so I feel your pain. We took the crib away in preparation for DD2 and she never took one again. Still sleeps at daycare.

we have 2 4ever seats for DD1 and don't have any issues with them. We also don't have anything to compare them to. I think we will be getting 3 in one convertibles for DD1 and giving the 4ever to DD2. Cheaper this way. Will probably stick with Fraco since that's what all of our current things are.

It's just after 5 and DD2 doesn't seem to be going back to bed - I hope it's just because she's flipped onto her belly. Momma would like to go back to sleep.

The wedding was beautiful but OMG I don't know if this the "thing" to so now but the reception was stretched wayyyy out.

Like wedding at 3. Drinks started at 4:30, light finger foods at 5. And by finger foods they came around ONCE with two grays one with tiny meatballs and one with spring rolls. Actual dinner didn't start until 7. Between finger foods and dinner they did a few songs but mostly we just sat there twiddling our thumbs. They called us by table to get our food the next table didn't get called until the first table was completely seated and in between tables the bride or someone from the bridal party would share memories. We were table 26. 😐

By 9 they still hasn't done cake or any type of actual dancing and they were telling us at midnight we could stop by the after party. We came home because DS had only take a few short naps in my arms and was tired and clearly not all that happy, although he wasn't screaming so that was a plus.

Now our guests are all tucked into the guest bedroom and I'm trying to get DS down almost two hours after his normal bedtime 😩

I haaaate those weddings. We went to one like that when I was pregnant. Talk about hangry.

[babycaps]

teraiin, that sounds horrible. Way too long!!!

[annarose]

I give teraiin credit. FTM me (and even STM to be honest) would have been outta there by 8pm rambling on about babies and bedtime lol

At least having both kids up since 5:30 has made my morning productive. Got the highchair, jumper and Halloween decorations out of the attic. Cleaned everything up and even got the butternut squash roasted in the oven. Waiting for it to cool and I will purée it in time for lunch.

[k3am]

FML. DS has been up way too much every night. DD gets up way too early. No wonder I can't get unsick.

[ellesea]

That wedding sounds exhausting teraiin. I totally would have used the kids as an excuse to leave. Haha

Same! I would have rolled promptly at 8. Lol

DH and I are having a date day while my sister babysits. We need to go shopping for clothes for 6 mo pics next week and we are going to go out for lunch. I'm super excited!

[teraiin]

You guys give me too much credit. I had reached a point where I just wanted some damn cake.

I never got any. 😢

Is there any way you can get someone to watch the kids for a few hours so you can sleep? Or send DD somewhere for a sleepover? sounds like you need a night to recharge.

[k3am]

Friends that would take DD would involve reciprocation down the road.. Which I don't want to sign up for lol.

ILs are far enough away that it would involve them taking her for a weekend. Which we won't have available until November.

DH took DD and had started her on TV (which he should have done earlier, it's HIS day!) and I convinced DS to nap for 30 mins, which was great.

[k3am]

Ugh.. And now DD is napping. Which means any chance at a nap this afternoon just disappeared. Punk kid.

[k3am]

Also she snores.

[k3am]

But she is so stinking pretty. We don't know where it comes from.

PDQ

Up early this AM with the baby and I kind of feel like SuperMom. I fed him and then wrapped him so we could get some stuff done. Picked up the house, unloaded and loaded dishwasher, folded laundry and started more and played with a baby. After DD and DH got up, I went to car wash, Panera and grocery pick up. Now to get ready for church. This morning powered by copious amounts of coffee! 😀

[k3am]

twocents6708 - I think this is my problem.. I don't coffee. I could probably survive better with coffee.

[aaemommy]

k3am she is beautiful!

Oh helllllll no!! All that and no cake??? Epicfail

[babycaps]

k3am, she's beautiful indeed!!

My friend is officially at 24hr mark from induction start time, 12th hour of pitocin I think. Poor girl.


*****LOSS MENTIONED BELOW THIS LINE*****

I heard last night that my coworker who was due last week delivered her baby born to eternal life and I can't stop crying about it. She's not a close friend or anything but we talk and work together weekly or more. I don't think she will be able to come back to work. She is our perinatal center admin. How do you work putting together perinatal mortality reports and other perinatal related things Aguirre suffering your own perinatal loss? My heart hurts. My gut hurts.

[k3am]

babycaps 😔 how heart breaking.

No coffee?? 😱 Does not compute

[teraiin]

Oh babycaps that's so sad...😢

H didn't go to bed until 6 this morning. He was up with a friend playing through Halo 2 on legendary all night. Lol. It's going to be a rough day for him. I'm waking him up in 20 minutes to help.

[aaemommy]

Today is my birthday! 😃🎉🎂
It feels weird to be 27.

[ellesea]

k3am she is beautiful!

babycaps that is so heartbreaking.

Happy birthday aaemommy!

I found a store that carries both Dionos and Cleks. So I will get to try them both in the car and see which fits better. I'd rather go with the Diono because it is also a booster, but I just don't think there will be enough room.

I could be wrong but I think you can buy an angle adjuster that can buy you more room.

[k3am]

@aemommy - happy birthday! Baby!

[k3am]

@aemommy - the angle adjuster will buy you an extra 4 inches or so, IIRC. Try asking on CSFTL on FB about fit in your particular car.

You can but I've read it's for babies older than a year. I can always put ds1 in it with angle adjuster, and use the Evenflo for lo until we get to a year and then buy another Diono. My ocd wants matching car seats. I never would have thought I'd have a big(ger) baby and I'd have to buy a car seat to accommodate that. I would like to rear face to 4 and the Evenflo just won't last.
