I wish I could sit and read. I always start a book but never finish
Before kids I read all the time. Now if I try I fall asleep.
I've never read much. I've had periods come and go where I read more.
I haven't read any novels since K was born, but my one friend lent me her book and I want to be respectful and actually read it before we move so I can give it back.
But yeah, I fall asleep trying to read all the time...
It's my birthday! J gave me the gift of sleeping. in until 7:00. Of course that was due to a 3am party in his crib. I'll take it though! I'm spending the day taking him to the doctor and I don't know what else. Starbucks may be in my future. We are supposed to go to dinner tonight too. I'm a little bummed I'm missing birthday cake at work today.
We had an appointment about J's decreased appetite yesterday. Everything is fine. He has gained a little since his last appointment with his regular pediatrician. There was a lot of confusion around getting his zantac refilled because she was on vacation so J has been without it for a couple of weeks, which would definitely cause a decrease in appetite. We got it filled so hopefully he starts eating again.
My mission of the weekend is to get a pic of LO standing by herself. She is now letting go all the time because we always clap for her when she does it and she likes the reaction. But as soon as I grab my phone she won't do it!
B still isn't sitting up by herself, but I've noticed her trying to push up into a seated position the last few days.
Yesterday I go in to get her from a nap, & she's sitting up in the corner of her crib. I tell H about it, and while I'm in the kitchen, he sits her up on the floor facing him (with no support). She promptly falls backwards twice & cries each time. WTH man.

Does anyone here use Lipsense? I have a friend who sells it, & I finally got convinced to try it.
I'm actually kinda excited to get my order. I've never been a big lipstick/gloss/color person. Mainly bc I'm never sure what color to buy & bc it comes off on everything.

I got a new job! Here is the timeline of what happened, I'm still trying to process what happened:
Tuesday morning: boss informs me that they are going to have to cut my hours drastically due to money issues Tuesday afternoon: get a call from a recruiter who found my resume on a website that I posted on in 2012 and has a position available. Wednesday morning: meet with the recruiter to go over the position. It's absolutely perfect and for the first time in my life I find myself saying that I really, really want the job. Thursday morning: have an interview that lasts over two hours and find out that I'm one of 14 candidates Thursday afternoon: get a call from the recruiter offering me the job.
I have never had a job prospect move so quickly and it's been a whirlwind of emotions the past two days. I'm so excited for the prospect of a new position with actual benefits, loads of money in their pipeline, and being able to use my degree!!!
I start on the 19th. I don't know how much I'll be able to be on the boards during work hours but I hope I can stop by and chat on my lunch break at least.

That's amazing! I can't believe how well that timeline worked out, if that isn't a sign I don't know what is. Best of luck at your new position and I hope they let you keep creeping ProBoards during the day! ;-) Congratulations!

I think I'm going to have to go back to work. With the federal hold on the FLSA, H didn't get the overtime he is entitled to. Also, MIL's life insurance is much less than we were hoping, so things are looking bleak. Sigh. I don't want to put W in DC, plusalso, it's expensive as fuck! Ugh!!

I hope things turn around and you get a break. Could you work part time or from home?

I'm going to see. The problem is PT would not pay enough to really help on bills, etc. I really want to punch my state attorny general and that judge. Fucking assholes.

That sucks. Will the hold ever get lifted? I don't know much about the issue so sorry if that's a stupid question.

I dunno. I hope so. Basicallyb you either get overtime or get moved up to another salary bracket. Either way, it's muck needed. H will typically work about 1200 hours in overtime per year. That is a lot of money he is missing out on. Money wet could desperately use.

JFC!!! I don't blame you for being livid.
Please excuse all the crazy typos. I'm in nap jail and apparently W is having a dream where he is a ninja of some sort.
So while I was home at thanksgiving my cousin asked me about LO's sleep and when I said she generally sleeps 7-7 with 2 wake ups to nurse and goes right back down, my cousin was all like oh wow, that's great (she has 2 older kids). Then last evening we took LO to a colleague of H's who has a baby a few months younger than her and the baby's grandma was also there. They also asked about sleep and I said the same thing and they were all like oh no, that's horrible are you working on it? What are you going to do.
So basically my child is simultaneously the worst and amazing. And I am not really sure if I want to do something about it.

A sleeps 7:30-6:30 with (usually) 2 wake ups to nurse and is right back down. I think that's totally normal. I think older people forget what normal sleep habits for babies look like.

J also has 2 wake ups to eat and goes right back down 99% of the time.

I just don't understand why everybody feels it's appropriate to comment either way. It's like there is some unwritten rule that it's totally fine to give parenting advice, unwarranted to anybody else. Hah maybe I'm in a bad mood today.

Our pedi told us the one wake up will lead to more wake ups. She wants us to not "give in". She said to stop now before it gets worse. Yes, the dr said this!

I think everyone is obsessed with babies and how they also. E also sleeps 7-7 with 1-2 quick feeds and right back down. I've had people say they are jealous, and people ask how do I survive. From what I've read 1-2 feeds is so normal at their age. I'm hoping once we move next weekend and she's in her own room I can drop one feeding. Maybe both if I'm lucky lol
I've come to the decision that I'm going to put the tree up in the sunroom (instead of the living room where we normally put it). B doesn't go in there much so I think it should be fine. I'm planning to surprise H and do it on Monday when he's at work.

Did you ask your doc about this or did she just say it to you? It's bad enough with ransoms weighing in unsolicited, I think I would be pretty pissed if my doc did it. I mean if you asked her for help on it that's one thing but if not...

So I started a tradition when C was a baby to get a new ornament for each kid every year based on what they were interested in that year. I just found our ornaments for the year and C is so excited about his BB-8 ornament. I got A a baby's first Christmas elephant. I love this tradition and when the kids grow up and move out they can take all their ornaments with them and have a start to their first tree.
