Made banana pancakes for breakfast and still enjoying my coffee. Today is grocery day. Maybe visit my dad.
It's my sisters' bday on the 28th. She's helped me so much lately I want to buy her something. I should have thought about this yesterday while at the mall.

MIL told DH: I don't know why you guys are so stressed out. I had two kids and no help and I wasn't stressed out.
Um lady that is such bull.
Also MIL should be on a plane home right now but all flights are cancelled. Hoping she can fly from a different airport because if not she's going to be on her way back and spending the night with us!
Also S slept like crap last night. And spat up this morning, which maybe included one of her two doses of Zantac.

Anyone else have a car seat hating baby? I'm not sure if it's the car seat, or if it's just that she's a super clingy baby, but Cora hates it. She'll sometimes fall asleep for a bit, but never for long. On Friday we drove down to have lunch with H and I was only able to quiet her down with the Van Morrison Pandora station -- and it has to be loud. If it's at a volume that you'd think a baby would find comforting, she gets pissed. If there is too long of a break between songs, she gets pissed. I had to get the premium Pandora subscription because commercials pissed her off.
In all honesty, I don't even care for that station all that much. It the station that was on Pandora when I turned it on in our bedroom one night when Cora was freaking out, and she chilled out immediately. So now, Van Morrison radio all the time.
We had my nieces' birthday party yesterday morning. We hung around their house quite awhile after and then went to the mall and out to dinner before going to a couple basketball games last night. We were literally gone from 8am-10pm yesterday. Hazel does really well though, I think at this point she's so used to just being dragged along that it doesn't even faze her.
Does she just casually nap when you are out and about? I did a lot of things yesterday and the babies completely missed their normal nap times and I was all worried about it
She pretty much naps wherever. In the car or in someone's arms, she's not particular. So it makes it easy. And remember, this is baby 3 so I'm much more relaxed than I was with #1.

HOW DO YOU HAVE THE ENERGY?!
We went to the mall this morning and now I'm so exhausted I'm hoping to take a nap with Nolan.
I just live with exhaustion. I don't think I've not been tired since I got pregnant with DD1 in 2008. Lol

That is probably the dumbest thing to say to anyone who IS stressed out. Boo MIL

That's awesome! I was actually somewhat looosey goosey today and we went to the museum with my sisters and nieces/nephew and then out to lunch. There was random napping here and there, and they were fine.
The only thing that is consistently on a schedule is food. Always food.

I have corn bread in the oven. Except I used the 1/2 meas cup instead of 1/3. I realized it too late. I should prob take a look and make sure it's not exploding out of the pan.

My little peanut. After over two hours of being awake and a blow out poop.
MIL got an indirect flight out. Good thing too because I took a nap this afternoon and had a really vivid dream where I confronted her about everything.
@leaglebeagle I've had a similar dream about my mil. To bad I'll never have the guts to make it real.
We had a decent day yesterday with alert eating, now she's back to being super sleepy and taking an hour to eat. When she's asleep she is so hard to wake up, she already eats stripped to her diaper and we've tried every trick. Talking to her pedi tomorrow, feeding every 2 hours for an hour just doesn't seem normal.

we love the rock and play!!! We didn't get it until we got home from Arizona. If we had I would have just brought that and not the pack and play. The funeral for my grandmother went well and it was good to see family. We're so glad to be home now. Jane got really grouchy after all the travel so I got her some gripe water. I think I like that stuff. Poor baby was so gassy. Now I have two days before going back to work. I'll start working from home and have a friend coming over to take care of Jane then I'll take Jane into daycare on the 1st. Sort of nervous about that, but I'll just finish early and get her out early when I can.
Since we're talking about MILs... UGH, so annoyed. My SIL (husband's sister) has always been babied by everyone in her family, because she's the youngest and she's a girl. My husband has always been told that he has to take care of her (including letting her live rent-free with him for years, even though she had a full time job). Her parents are always helping her with buying airline tickets to visit them, even though they never help us with airline tickets. Basically, everyone in the family does everything for her, and now she's married a guy who makes okay money, but she still acts like they can't afford anything. Basically, she just cannot take care of herself, which they've all admitted at some point. It's a known problem, yet they keep indulging her. This also creates some resentment from me, because it's incredibly frustrating to see her receive constant preferential treatment for being bad at life. It's like we're being punished because we make more money and better life decisions.
Anyway, she's pregnant with her first, due in February. She's had two baby showers, including a joint shower with me, and she's received a lot of nice gifts. She also bought us a very nice gift, so I know she has some expendable income. But my MIL told my husband that since they're having a girl too, it would be really nice if we would go ahead and send her our baby clothes as our baby outgrows them, to help her out. I think this is due in large part to them visiting us in November. They scoped out the nursery and closet when I was at work, and then started making comments about how many clothes our baby has, how nice they are, etc.
So of course when my husband tells me this, I DO NOT react well. Why should I send her my baby's clothes, when she got just as many as I did at our joint shower, and I know she can afford them? And if they really need the help, his parents should send them clothes! I'm not giving up all of my baby clothes because they're sentimental to me, and also we're going to have another baby! Also, I'm afraid if I send her a bunch of clothes now, they're going to think this is the start of a habit, and I am not sending her all of my baby's clothes as she grows out of them. It's a bad precedent to set. Also, also, why can't she do what everyone else does and go shop the clearance section at Target, Carter's, Old Navy, etc.? Or go to a resale shop? I'm probably overreacting, but I'm just SO ANNOYED.
