Tuesday random stuff

[tjanca22]

What do you got going on today? Tell me everything.

[tjanca22]

It's gross out again and our driveway is a sheet of ice. I basically had to skate to get to the garage. Dropped off DS at daycare and L is sleeping so I'm actually drinking hot coffee!

Need to run some errands today, but I might hold off until the roads get a little better. I should probably fold the mountain of laundry that's sitting on the bedroom floor at some point.

Morning!

C and I dropped B at preschool and are back home getting ready for her 2-month check. Can't wait to see her weight, she seems huge!

We survived our car trip very nicely, both kids were great and slept well last night. It's good to be home

I'm hosting playgroup for the first time this morning. I'm interested to see how Lillian does. We haven't had any kids over to play since our gender reveal in June which was before she started saying "mine" all the time. She's pretty good at other people's houses so we'll see. I need to get up and clean a little more. We all slept until almost a quarter after 8 which is very unusual, but I feel decently rested. I also need to make my meal plan and grocery list so we can go shopping tomorrow afternoon.

It's supposed to be rainy all day so I guess we are stuck inside. I'll try to get in a little walk if it clears up a bit.

I'm so sleepy but I don't want to have coffee because I have a dentist appointment at 1. I scheduled it before C was born and fully expected to just reschedule if it didn't work out. It was originally at 3 but H said he couldn't make it out of work that early so I called to move it to a later time or on a Saturday. Somehow I moved it to 1??? Oh well. I'm going to take C to my mom's for a couple hours while I go and then run some quick errands on my way back. One of these days I need to attempt taking him with me to the store.

Morning. Dreary day and DS is going through a phase from hell where he just hits me with this stupid grin on his face. He doesn't do it to anyone else. Last night after bath he started it and we put him to bed without any books. It's making me pretty sad, but have to assume it has to do with n's arrival.

No plans today, may make some no bake cookies since I need some sweets in the house so I can eat my feelings.

[LizInFL]

ClassyMrsA good luck with the play group! B sounds like Lillian in that he does great at other people's homes; I've noticed he can be a bit territorial about his stuff when we have kids over here, but it's nothing that a 'remember to share' reminder doesn't fix. Hopefully you'll be pleasantly surprised!

Morning! I'm watching The Bachelor with a sleeping baby on my lap. I'm not sure when this happened but C no longer wants to sleep in the pack n play. I put him down and he wakes up 10 minutes later. I love the snuggles but worry I am creating bad sleep habits.

H was super crabby this morning. I usually do daycare drop off but he has been taking A so I don't have to bring C out twice (I still pick up). H was complaining about all stuff he had to load in his car for himself and A. Dude, welcome to my life every morning.

I'm starting to get sad about going back to work. I have exactly 3 weeks left. When we first had O I was like omg I want to go back to work! (Because it's so much easier than caring for a newborn lol) but now we have gotten into a groove and I'm sad about having to leave him. My mom is going to watch him until we get into our daycare so he will be with family for a few more weeks. Just having some feels lately

+1 I just realized it's only 3 weeks away for me too. I'm comforted knowing we have MH and grandmas on duty until March, but still hard. I am trying to do something each day that I've wanted to do to make sure I am enjoying it (even if that is sitting on the couch all day).

[hangry]

GL today ClassyMrsA!

tallblonde that sounds like something my DS would do. How is it that they know how to drive you absolutely mad in no time at all?

It is a wet day here so I am limiting my outings to daycare drop off and pick up. I could melt or get wet otherwise, or some other lame excuse.

I hate when you all of a sudden get to the limit of a certain size diaper that baby can fit in but still have more. I feel like I am squishing E into 1's but I still have another half sleeve! She has only had 2 small blowouts in the the past week so I am pushing my luck for another week before moving her into 2's.

[amberlie]

Hi ladies. We're having a sick day here. DH took off work bc both E and I have a sinus infection. She was so miserable yesterday with 102 temp. She only wanted us to hold her. I let her sleep in our bed and probably ruined last month's ST. She's a bit better today but still feverish. I wanted to give her a warm bath to see if it helps but our apartment complex has turned off our hot water for "routine maintenance." Ugh

[cookswithwine9]

hangry re diaper sizes: I know! I got a ton of diapers at my shower... and he's out grown them so fast! I still have 2 cases of size 1s. He's been in 2s for weeks. We are just giving them to friends we know that are having babies.

That's a good idea! I've been thinking of things I want to do too but not fun things. More like put away my maternity clothes and buy new shoes for work lol.

if you know where they came from, most places will let you exchange for a different size.

That's the issue I don't know since we received them as gifts! Someone told me Walmart will let you exchange regardless so I might try.

Hey ladies - hope you're all doing well! I overslept this morning and almost missed our doctors appointments. Thankfully we just made it and both boys did great. Have just been enjoying lots of post vaccine snuggles today. Hoping it means a good night sleep tonight but at least with DS1 that usually wasn't the case.

[dashook]

Hi everyone!
amberlie, oh no, everyone feels better!
hangry I have the same issue with diapers. Especially since we get ours with Subscribe and Save and I always forget to change the size before it's too late! The good news is that we have like 2 cases of size 3's left over from DS and it will not be long before this little chunk can make use of them.
cookswithwine9, hugs. It's so, so hard to go back. I know what you mean about getting in a groove with your routine with baby. It feels like as soon as you do that it's time to shake it up again.

[dashook]

So I've been a little MIA and for that I apologize. It's funny, I really miss you guys on days I don't check in til late!

I started a new fitness challenge yesterday and it's taking up basically all of my time and energy that isn't taken by the kids. Ironically it's kept me from checking in on this week's health and fitness thread too lol. But it feels great to be making time for myself again and especially to be cooking again. I missed it so much.

Tomorrow I have my moms group. I missed it last week because my nanny was sick and I had no one to watch DS. Then Thursday is D's 2 month appointment. Somehow I had forgotten that she would be getting vaccines that day 😕 I hope she does okay.

And, my sister and her BF are flying in Thursday night to spend the weekend with us and finally meet D. I'm so excited!

[ClassyMrsA]

It's almost midnight and my toddler is still awake. She fell asleep with DH in the room earlier, but came into our room just after 10. I took her back and stayed until 11:30 with no luck. Now DH is trying again. I don't know what her deal is. Bedtime has been extra awful lately. Once she's asleep she usually does really well. I'm not sure what to do. I think she has figured out we leave when she falls asleep and is now paranoid. But she won't stay in the bed if we don't stay until she's out. On the bright side, the baby is sound asleep. Someone should be at this hour.

Our playdate went well. Lillian shared her toys and played with her friends. Not too much "mine-ing" going on. I also had a nice chat with the other mom while they played.

I'm also really struggling with giving the baby prilosec. She hates it and has started doing this thing where she pulls up her legs, strains, and starts screaming. I haven't even made it a week and I already want to be done with it. I think I'm going to send a message to her dr to see if I can get a direct answer from her about what she thinks is going on.

@sarahwithanh it must be such a relief to have a plan and especially to trust your surgeon.

ClassyMrsA I hear you with the toddler sleep issues. Ugh, they are exhausting. Sending you all the patience and wine as you navigate this phase.
