Why Am I Awake Wednesday (Randoms)

[nerdykitten]

I just know my body is super sensitive about the amount of calories I am getting in order to produce my normal amount of milk so I haven't been limiting myself food wise.

I need to start cutting out sweets again because I have put weight back on. I just seem to crave them so I find myself eating way more of them than I should. I also need to really start making time for walks with the kiddos now that it isn't blazingly hot.

Sweets are definitely a problem for me, but so is all food 🙄.

Ughhh I feel overwhelmed today. It's after one and the laundry needs to be switched over, dishes done, baby clothes packed away, SILs pets taken care of, and I haven't even read or really spent much one on one time with the baby. To top it off I realized I skipped breakfast and lunch. 😩 I'd love some coffee but I know I should chug some water first otherwise I will get dehydrated.

Boooo for busy days

Oh goodness teraiin I would feel overwhelmed too! Hugs to you! Hope baby takes a good solo nap so you can get stuff done, then can spend some time with him!

Between 11-2 ry woke up 4 times 😖 I thought it was going to be a horrible night but he slept still 6 after that

What's up with our kids?! Olivia was up almost hourly. 😞

Weird night for us too. The number of wake ups wasn't bad, but the intensity of them was odd. Something was off with him - more crying then usual. I still feel mentally frazzled this morning.

teraiin, my daughter just started the tongue clicking last night. I was so surprised, I had to look over to make sure it was her!

I can't believe some of you have snow already! It's just finally turned fall here (New Jersey) after a bit of an Indian Summer.

[nerdykitten]

We are heading home from going to our friend's comic book release party. I am so happy that they have such a great support system.

Under a sleeping babe and have to pee.... ahhh, wish me a successful transfer. Some days life would be easier if I got to wear a diaper too.

+1 to being overwhelmed today. Ridley is just so fussy and in need of constant attention I can't get anything done and I'm so exhausted. Luckily my care worker is here today to help out. I think we're going to take a walk to the donut shop later just to get out of the house. Assuming the rain isn't too bad. Ugh. I feel like such a parental failure today. I just can't handle her needing this much direct attention.

Continuing from yesterday, the Cat and Jack stuff is cute but I don't like the quality of the fabric. It's probably ok for babies but there DS would destroy it in no time. Even worse, my target has given cat and Jack all of the floor space in the toddler area. I can't find the way more durable Circo and Cherokee brand stuff and DS is desperately in need of pants.

I was looking at them online and many reviews said the same. It's a shame. They're super cute.

It's hard. I get now why some people say they get touched out.

[snoris]

Tough-ish DC day. Well tough but I'm handling it better. Enjoying some baby snuggles. I'm a little worried about my Mom coming over tonight. She sent some strange texts. Sometimes she gets in a mood where she tries to parent me/tell me what to do. Lets see how this goes.

I totally hear you on this.

I put DD down to nap without her magic suit and I don't think it's going to happen. That girl is headed to college in her magic suit at this rate...

1.5 hours left of this never-ending day. I hate that my baby is home without me. And also I hate that I'm missing their trunk or treat at church. I bet they're so cute! 😞

Aww that is sad. 😢

[teraiin]

New record DS crashed at 6:45 and is so far still sleeping. Yeahhhhh

[Deleted]

Holy shit I've not been this excited for h to be home and give me a break in a really long time. In other news, she's started liking her pacifier as a chew toy today. She has never used a pacifier and I just happened to try it out today and success! Lol. Sort of.

Meanwhile, I'm drinking hard root beer and ignoring my kid. I have a doctor's appointment tonight and I'm hoping to get my flu shot but I forgot to ask so maybe not. We'll see.

DS chews on his pacifier too. Particularly the edges of it lol

[dandb925]

Speaking of flu shots, are you (general you) getting one for your LO? Just curious as to what everyone is doing.

We are hopefully getting his as soon as he turns 6 months.

[teraiin]

FFWC I didn't realize there were more than one part to the flu shot for babies??

[mrssqueegy]

Yes to flu shot here. The flu kills babies.

it's only the first time they get it. There are two parts about a month apart.
