MH and I are driving around dropping paint cans off for recycling. Each store only allows five and we have a ton plus the prior owners left a ton too so good times.
When we get home more packing and H has to take the crib apart. After that DD is all packed and ready for the move, lucky kid!!!! I just have to pack clothes to hold me over until the moving pods are delivered.
Sunday I'm going shopping for interview clothes since I've been wearing a uniform for nine years. I'm trying to accomplish a capsule wardrobe, we'll see how that goes!
We have swim class this morning, but I'm debating skipping this week. Neither DS nor I slept well last night and he just decided he was going to nap. We have to leave in 15 min to make it on time. I don't know that I want to wake a cranky baby.
I'm sorry you're having a rough couple of weeks, joy
I have a bunch of errands to run, but kindergarten is off today, so I have all 3 kids at home. The bigs are playing nicely together & baby is sleeping, so I'm starting the "maybe I can just skip it" thing; I hate to rock the boat. One of the errands is to pick up a nipple shield--mine disappeared yesterday. She's actually nursing ok without it (although my nipples are sore, and she was getting agitated trying to latch on overnight), so I'm on the fence about replacing it. Happy it's Friday & feels like fall!

I had a huge MOTN meltdown last night - trying to get the baby to sleep and just sobbing. DH rushed in and freaked out that something was seriously wrong. He took over and sent me to bed, and did extra feedings so I could sleep. And he's staying home from work to help me today

That sucks about the meltdown. Sounds like Mr Bear is a good one, though! I hope you get some good rest!

I'm sorry about the meltdown, but I'm glad your H was there to help (and it sounds like he did well!). Things always seem much more catastrophic in the MOTN
M is 12 weeks old today - where has the time gone! And he slept for eight hours straight last night (midnight to 8 a.m.). Woohoo! I know this might not be a regular thing, but I'm so grateful to have a good sleeper for now.

I was about to type "good morning!" and then realized it was 1pm. Seriously, where does the time go??
So, we've given DS a few doses of Tylenol since he's seemed extra fussy since his vaccines yesterday, and he LOVES it - he seriously goes from hysterical to delighted in a second. He also had that oral vaccine yesterday (for rotovirus I think?) and slurped it down. The doctor was like "Whoa - most babies don't like that stuff. This kid is going to love eating real food!" So now I really cannot wait until he can start eating some other things! It's so funny seeing what sort of hinge I get excited about now... While I was always looking forward to getting to snuggle and play with an adorable baby, who knew I would be counting down the weeks until I'd get to purée some sweet potatoes...
My boss gave me a call yesterday regarding my request to WFH 3 days a week. In a nutshell, he said he wants to "figure something out" but can't give me an answer just yet. Including me, there are 3 women who are part of the office staff. My boss told me that one was just diagnosed with breast cancer, and the other (who had her baby about 6 weeks before me) has just asked to WFH sometimes or switch to part time. So... my boss is in a tough position. I don't know how it will al work out but I am prepared to quit if I can't work from home 2-3 days a week, and I believe that if I did give that ultimatum, they would be forced to go along with my plan.
DH's job situation is still a mess (hasn't been paid since 8/15, is owed over 10k for pay + other things), BUT there has been a lot of movement on that front recently and he was just told this morning that the new owners of the company have finally signed off on all agreements and that one stipulation in there is that all employees must be paid everything they're owed by 10/21 - so I'm remaining optimistic. If he gets everything he's owed we'll actually be able to refill out savings account (which we've been borrowing against) and we'll be back on track to have enough saved for a down payment on a house by January! We're still planning on moving down to the Charotte area this winter and I really, really hope that our plans don't need to be pushed back.

Liked that DH came into help. I've had those meltdowns too, being tired makes it happen quicker. Glad you have help today and maybe can get a nap.
S sleeps in her crib all night, and I feel like I need to try to get her to start napping in her crib. Mornings are chaotic with taking/picking DD1 up from preschool and running errands. But I just can't give up my afternoon snuggles yet. I hope this doesn't make it more difficult to get her to nap in her crib later. I just keep telling myself "but she's my last baby!"

He's a keeper I felt guilty about it, but I'm glad he came to help. And today feels like a weekend day.
The big thing is that I am going to give EPing a go. DH is helping me feed the baby while I pump, just to try to get used to it.
Me (30) MH (32) Dx: MFI (low all the things) M. 10/11. TTC Since 01/14 IUI#1-3(Letrozole + Trigger) = BFN Second Opinion. Changed RE's. IVF 09/15 Long Lupron 12R/9M/8F, Transferred 1=BFN. 4 frosties. FET #1 12/15 Transferred 1 (3 still on ice)
R is still only giving me one 3 hour stretch once a night and the rest are 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
M had her 2 year well check and R had a cardiology follow up yesterday. They both are doing well.
I feel sad because nursing has devolved into R using a nipple shield (which makes OALD fussiness better for most feedings), but I worry it's connected to him gaining weight at a slower rate now.
M starts preschool in exactly a month. Counting down the days since things are just so rough. She is so alive that it's hard for anyone to keep up with her and watch a baby who needs to be held to sleep and eats often.

We went to target today (and go most days too) today. I picked up my birth control pills and a frappuccino. Life essentials right now. Hahaha
hannahbear so many hugs. I'm glad your DH was able to help.
I had a meltdown this morning. Both kids were up last night and I'm just exhausted. B had to take her scooter and helmet to school today and her helmet is MIA. I started panicking. We ended up going to Walmart and buying her a new one. I came home, took a shower, and called a therapist. I have an appt next Wed. DH told me he'd leave work early so I could rest, but that didn't happen
I have these periods of "i just can't do this on my own anymore" and they're getting more and more frequent
