It's the Weekend!

[watermelonseed]

What are you up to?!

[watermelonseed]

I've got a baby shower tomorrow on my IL's side. I'll be bringing P to meet some family and hope she behaves.

[Deleted]

Grocery shopping and errands. Woo our life is exciting!

[danielle]

My mom and I are taking the boys to Spooktacular this morning and then it's home to work on potty training DS1. He peed on the toilet 4 times last night and was super excited about it, so I'm hoping he's that excited today.

[singingsea]

Yawn. I'm super tired today. Can I just say I'm super jealous of everyone who has babies that sleep? Mine seems to be on strike. I feel like I'm going to fall on my face.

Today we might carve some pumpkins with the kids. Later we're making pulled chicken sandwiches for the osu game and having a few people over.

[merryrissmas]

I am so tired, but feel a million times better after DH urged me to shower & take some time to myself. I have an egg & cheese sandwich & a latte now so that's excellent.

DH & the big kids are getting ready to leave for a camp out so I'll have the next 24 hours or so to myself and DS2. I'm planning to do some cooking and cleaning (oh who am I kidding, more like drink wine, eat junk food, and watch crappy chick flicks).

[briannea]

There's a baby wearing meeting this morning I'd like to hit, then a pumpkin carving birthday this afternoon. Tomorrow I'm taking the kids to a food/craft fair with a gf.

[fem]

Haha merryrissmas that's exactly how my days go. I wake up with all these plans to clean and take long walks, then end up on the couch watching trashy TV and eating crap.


We were ambitious this morning. We all went to C's dance class at the Y, then went straight to the apple orchard with my mom's group. It was a gorgeous day and we had fun but no way could I have managed it without DH. Now I'm tired.

C is really excited to make an apple pie with Daddy this afternoon.

[annapunkalunka]

Another rainy day here. We hung out at home this morning and watched the Polar Express (my choice, don't judge). I'll have to wake C up from her nap to make it to a 3pm birthday party this afternoon. Hopefully that doesn't backfire!
After a day with no naps yesterday, E has been sleeping for almost 3 hours after a fantastic night. I got so much laundry done!

[merryrissmas]

Is it too early to listen to Christmas music? Asking for a friend...

That's a great idea!  We have been listening non-stop to the Beauty and the Beast soundtrack....per the demands of my toddler.  Christmas music may just be the distraction she needs!  I cannot listen to Be Our Guest one more time.

Growth spurts stress me out. DD hasn't pooped in 2 days now, which I know is OK in babies, but still freaks me out. She is eating constantly. Some poop should be coming out. She was also awake for 5.5 hours this morning because she was eating so much. But now she has been napping for 2.5 hours.

[danizee]

We are going to a wedding today. Nervous to bring LO but there is no way I wasn't going to bring her too :/

[sodapop]

Going to meet you friends tonight. This is my diaper bag...

[jennybeans]

We went to the zoo tonight for a Halloween thing. E did pretty well - she slept on me for a while and then we nursed in one of the buildings. DH ended up carrying her towards the end since she just wanted to nurse. We've been cluster feeding each night and getting a long stretch so I'm interested to see how tonight goes now..

This was the best picture I could get of the two of them.. DS is riding his 'batmobile'.

PDQ

ETA: And tonight will not be going well.. I've been trying to get E to sleep for about an hour now. Just tagged DH in to hold her for a bit to calm myself and her down. Messing with our evenings is clearly not an option right now. 😩

[danielle]

DS1 has been a potty training rockstar today. I'm so proud of him.

[fem]

Here is the pie that DH and C made from the apples we picked:


This was their inspiration picture: goo.gl/images/b0YJvb

Of course C would only eat the ice cream after all that work.

[watermelonseed]

We only had one night time wake up! ::dances::

[annapunkalunka]

I'm rocking E during his nap. He's got another awful diaper rash, so I'm airing him out. I didn't eat anything before we sat down, though, so I'm starving.

[jennybeans]

annapunkalunka, are you airing him out during a nap? You are brave!

I've got towels and blankets everywhere. He keeps farting, though, so things could get interesting soon.

[lovetruly2015]

We going to a goodbye party for DHs grandma who is heading to FL for the winter. Im nervous about how keeping ppl away from J is going to go. We're goingto let grandma hold him for a bit since shes leaving but DH & I talked and since LO still has a week immune system we don't want anyone else with him. My MIL said she'd help us out but im worried about ppl getting pissy with us because of it.

Good luck. I hope it goes ok. And if people get pissy, let them. You're a great mama wstching over J and if they can't understand why you want to limit contact, that's on them, not you.

Hope no one gives you a hard time.

We had a poop explosion on our comforter overnight. I heard her going ,waited 5 mintues but she still got me Just got it out of the washer and it didn't all come off. Might be time for a new comforter.

Something similar happened to me earlier this week. I thought she was done, turned out she wasn't. She literally shot a turd at me.

E did this to me a couple weeks ago off the changing table and onto the floor of her room. We tried to clean it buts it's still a little bit of a yellow shade..

[jennybeans]

DS and E both took naps at the same time today so DH and I had afternoon sex. We've got this double kid thing down pat 😀
An hour and a half kid free together was kind of amazing.

Well things have so far.gone just as I expected them to. His grandma got to hold him for a few and then he was passed off to someone else and DH and my MIL have done and said nothing. Im more than a little annoyed. Why the hell agree with me if your just going to ignor it later. And if I say something I just sound like a bitch.

My blood is boiling on your behalf!! You know what is best for your baby and it's his health at risk. You are completely within your rights to sound like whatever kind of bitch you want to be to protect that baby. If anyone says anything, they are the jerk- not you! I can't even understand how anyone would think it is ok to pass around a preemie baby who is literally just out of the hospital!

[caz1221]

Ditto jennybeans.

lovetruly2015 - who cares if others don't understand? When it comes to my kids, I do what's best for them and have stopped worrying about what others think. We are their voices & their advocates. Do whatever you need to do to keep LO happy & healthy.
