It IS Friday right?!

[teraiin]

We either had two wake ups or 3 last night. FFFC I can't remember if it was 2 or 3. Lol you'd think I'd remember how many times I woke up. I feel pretty good so in going to assume 2 haha

I am SO looking forward to this weekend! Going to a cider making party at a friend's house. She has three varieties of apples and a primitive apple grinder and cider press. My Raynaud's is usually out of control at this party so I feel badly I can't help, but this year I have a baby buffer!! Making pumpkin cheesecake tonight to pass at the potluck. (Though all of your UO's about hating pumpkin has me second guessing). Then MH got called last minute to sub for a professor at our local university's football game this weekend. That sounds weird, but I am intentionally vague on TCF, so I'll have to leave it at that. Anyway it means baby I and I will be tagging along and VIP'ing it up with the team and other important people. (Comical given my UO about football) A local Mom is letting us borrow some hearing protection. Should be fun!

you're not alone. Sometimes I can't remember either. It all blurs together. Last night we woke up at 12, 3, and 6 but I had to be up at 6 anyway, so 2 or 3 here. He's still sleeping. I wish I was 😭😴 instead I'm cooking a ridiculously elaborate meal for DC.

[aaemommy]

Last night was rough. Need coffee. 😴☕️☕️☕️
I'm pretty sure I saw almost every hour.

All the coffee to you.☕️️

[ellesea]

I forget how many times I'm up more often than not.

babycaps my big kid would love to run around with you big kid. He loves playing with boys. He likes to do dirty, rough, sometimes gross boy stuff. One day at the park he brought me a handful of gross, gigantic beatles.

snoris that sounds like so much fun. I love cider.

[westiemom]

DD only woke up once last night briefly but I could not sleep! I just couldn't turn off my mind. I am tired and sad I missed a good nights sleep. 😞

I have a friend coming over soon with her baby to hang out for the day.

We are also going to a college football game tomorrow.

[babycaps]

snoris, that sounds fun!
teraiin, I hardly ever remember, especially if the number is greater than 4.

Last night, the number was 3. maybe 4? It was a rough night all around. DH was in my space, I had HORRIBLE nightmares.
Poutty morning with DH doesn't help.
I got to work about 45 min later than I wanted to and I have to leave in 30min to go to PT.
At least I have a student today who is going to do some of my busy work!!!!

I'm pissed. We are having leaks with size 3 overnight diapers and he JUST last week started wearing size 3. Size is not the issue. He's just peeing SO MUCH at night. then he wakes up all wet and pissed off.

UGH...TGIF. I need the weekend!

We had to move to Pampers Baby Dry overnight because DD was peeing too much. It's better now!

[annarose]

FFFC: I've never used overnight diapers with either of my kids and have had minimal leaks. Babyganics during the day and night. ( I have probably just jinxed the hell out of myself)

[ellesea]

babycaps +1(2?) to pampers baby dry. He is a super heavy wetter and he's dry all night in a size 3.

Did you talk to your H about cleaning up at all? I find I need to be very direct to my H when I need help with things. It's like they have blinders on and don't see all the things that need to be done, not on purpose, they just don't think of it.

+1, right there with you. Minus the babyganics diapers. I'm too cheap to buy organic/good for the environment/whatever Babyganics are.

DD insisted that I needed to wear an Elsa braid today. I threw my hair into a half assed French braid and completely forgot about it. Guess I'm sporting an ugly braid today. DD thinks I'm beautiful at least.

Parenthood does something to you. I no longer care about leaving the house a mess in pajamas. Before kids that would have never happened.

[babycaps]

ellesea, yeah, we talked. I don't hold shit back! When either of us have something to say, we say it and move on. We are all made up now.

Will try pampers. We have huggies overnights.

Does anyone live in Southern California? I may be there for 3 nights, 2 days in February!!! Costa Mesa. Cross your fingers. I applied to be part of a CNS board exam development committee!

[k3am]

babycaps.. Send YH a like to this study: Husbands Who Do Chores 98% More Likely to Get Some

It's totally legit.

Also, if I had vacation time banked up, I'd totally make an excuse to go see family in SoCal in February. Sadly, I'll be using all my vacation time on family trips.. Boo.

[kateisoptimistic]

+1 to the pampers baby dry - we just started with them on someone here's recommendation and haven't had any leaks yet!

[kateisoptimistic]

i need to decorate for fall this weekend - i know I'm late to the game. I'm thinking a couple of pumpkins and a couple of mums on the front steps and maybe a wreath. has anyone done anything more interesting with their exterior?

[k3am]

I'm definitely crying while pumping. Not sure if any of you are following the McDonald boys (conjoined twins who were separated yesterday), but it just brings back so many emotions for me. Brain surgery is awesome and terrifying. I'm such a ninny.

[Deleted]

So glad it's Friday. I need rest.

No I hate those nights they make me so depressed

[teraiin]

+however many to pampers baby dry. We save all of those for night time.

I was just reading about them. OMG I can't even imagine 😢

[teraiin]

Did you guys see the story about the six week old and her mom in NYC with the elevator? 😭

Omg yes!!! Soooo sad!

k3am that is a very emotional story. I am following the updates too. Hugs for you as I'm sure it's a huge trigger.

[k3am]

I thought that the 12 hour surgery day we had was the worst thing imaginable.. I can't barely imagine how much that family is going through. It sounds like one is out of the woods, but the other's path is unclear.

I did have to pull open the pics of DD with her turkey head wrapping on and think back to the relief that we had knowing that she made it through. I'm a sucker for happy endings, so I really hope they get theirs.

And while I'm not a religious person by any means, I'm glad that they are. I think it's definitely a benefit in stressful situations.

[teraiin]

So they've been widening out road for the past two months. I'm sooooo tired of all the noise on my normally quiet country road. Plus they keep blocking my driveway.

I went out today and reminded them that it doesn't bother me if they park in my driveway to the side but they CAN'T block me in. I need to know that am ambulance can get here or that I can get out in a hurry.

That's an obsession of mine haha

Plus also we have a huge driveway they don't need to block the whole thing

[teraiin]

I'm pretty sure they just think I'm the crazy SAHM. I probably am.

[k3am]

Blocking driveways drives me nuts.

In college I lived in a town house. There were two rows of 5 townhouses, all connected by a driveway down the center that was big enough for one car driving each way, but tight. People were CONSTANTLY parking in front of their unit in the driveway. Because we were private property, the police wouldn't tow, and the tow company wouldn't tow without police request or an agreement with the property management company.

We actually had someone park in front of MY garage for multiple hours, so we couldn't leave the house... every 30 mins or so, we went and let air out of the tires. When the girl finally came to her car, I asked her not to park there and she told me to eff off. She hopped in and drove off.. all while her tire was so flat that the rim literally left grooves in the concrete. I felt bad but not really.

I'm good at passive aggressive revenge.
