1. Snow! Despite this areas inability to properly deal with it, drive in it, and tendency for hysteria. It finally feels like winter!
2. Ds' fever is finally gone! As long as it stays away today, he won't need a blood draw. Now I can stop my anxiety spiral.
3. Mh is going into work late or hopefully not at all if the weather gets worse. He will still have to work from home but hooray for a second pair of hands and him seeing what I am currently dealing with when I solo parent from 7am-6pm.
4. It looks like dd has inherited my wtf/rbf teaching face. A useful life skill.
Omg lakegirl - that face!! Love it! Glad your kiddo's fever is gone too.
I'm thankful for family that lives close by. It's nice to have an extra hand to help with DD. I'm also very thankful for 12 weeks of paid maternity leave.
So the latest snow estimate is 12-19". We're supposed to have a 1 month check up appointment for B at 10 but I'm not sure if the office will be open. I'd like to go in, but I'm mostly just curious about how much he weighs now.
I'm thankful that after fussing from 1-230 or so, C slept til 8!!! I feel like a new person. I had to wake her up, it was glorious. I fully expect this to never happen again.
Also, it's so pretty outside. I love snow too and thankful MH is the one that clears it in our house.
@lakegirl yay for healthy tots! What an adorable face! pibblemom woohoo for sleep! heybulldog56 we got a bunch of snow but daycare is still open even though the schools are not, thank goodness.
I'm thankful that my husband bought the correct pads? 😂😂😂. We have no plans today so I am going to soak it up. My brother and SIL visited most of the day yesterday.

I'm thankful that my baby slept so well last night. I definitely needed the recharge.
I'm thankful that H took the first shift so that I could sleep without baby noises even if it was mostly because he was waiting for his playstation to finish downloading a new game.
I'm thankful for the belated birthday dinner we're having for H tonight because it means I don't need to cook.
I'm thankful that I get to go with my parents to my niece's basketball tournament in Denver because it means I'll probably get MOTN help with W from my mom and I'll get to sleep.
Here is the retribution for letting me sleep so long. Sleepy cluster feeds. She's been falling asleep on my boob for the last hr and a half. I take her off when it's clear she's not swallowing and she wakes up and wants more. Oh well, more snuggles for me I guess

lakegirl hooray for no fever and I hope your DH stays home! Love the shot of DD RBF
All of you in snow country stay safe!
I'm thankful that DH has today off. I'm thankful that the kids mostly behaved for me last night. I'm thankful that N is gaining weight and it seems like my boobs are producing plenty.
We made our pedi appointment despite the snow. I'm glad they're so close to us. We're up to 9lbs 2oz! A full lb since last Thursday! I'm thrilled since his gain in the first 2 weeks of life was sluggish. Looks like we've found our nursing groove. 😄

That's great ellabee! It also gives me lots of hope! C is still eating and peeing and pooping plenty, but her gain isn't up to an oz a day, pedi isn't worried as long as by the end of the month she's up 2 lbs, so I guess I shouldn't worry, but #mombrain makes me worry about errything.
C fell back asleep on me and I know I should be taking advantage and either napping or doing work that needs to be done for a meeting this weekend. I'm not going but I need to put together things for one of my employees to talk for me. Anyhow, instead of doing something productive I'm just staring at her, wondering how I made something so perfect and thinking how sad I am that she will never know my dad. He was so excited he cried when we told him I was pregnant. There's one face she makes in her sleep that's straight up one of his expressions and it gets me EVERY TIME. Holy emotions guys.

I'm thankful to be on maternity leave so that I didn't have to drive to work this morning. Even though we only have a little bit of snow, I am a very nervous driver in bad weather (stems from being in a horrible car accident when it was raining).
I'm also thankful for Netflix. Currently binging on Parenthood.

pibblemom, I'm so sorry. It's hard. Everyone says that A looks like my mom. People said the same about DD1 when she was an itty bitty. In a weird way, I think that is God's way of keeping my mom close to me?

MissDemeanor, hope DS's fever stays low and goes away quickly.
I'm feeling blah. Probably due to shitty sleep. And my abdomen is still numb from surgery and it's irritating. Maybe a shower will help. Lord knows I need one.
pibblemom now that you've been momming for a bit what's your verdict - team snaps or team zipper?
I think I am team zipper. I love snaps on onesies because there's only 3 and it's so easy to check the diaper, but on sleepers my fingers are still too numb from pregnancy carpal tunnel to do all the work. May have to reevaluate as she gets older
Today I'm thankful for Netflix and leftovers. And infant Tylenol and zarbees cough medicine. And that my parents live close, this morning I discovered our milk had turned even, though it wasn't expired, but I was able to run to my parents and steal milk from them.
Also, thanks for all the hugs guys. The hormones aren't helping I'm sure, but I just wish she knew how much he loved her before she was even born.
That's why you tell her all about him and how much he loved her. Which I know you will do. But it matters. So sorry for all the feels. It makes me appreciate having both my parents more, even if they are far away.
I know DH's mom would have loved to see him as a dad, but she died before we met and had dementia at the end. So we just have to assume based on how much she loved her other grandkids.
I finally found newborn size sleepers in the prints I wanted at target. They are the ones with the inverted zip. I'm totally converted. I've already bought the next size up too.

Hugs from one daddy's girl to another pibblemom. I'm wondering if you could write dd a letter telling her about the day you told your dad you were pregnant and how excited he was? I've been thinking of doing the same about my Grandma Claire (dd's middle name) who passed right before Christmas.
MissDemeanor, noooooooooo I hope it's just a 24 hour thing and you avoid the week long fever hell I was in. I was so paranoid about the baby as well. Ds loved to try out the pacifiers before giving them to dd. The worst.
peaseblossom55 - a big snowblower is key. I'm not sure what we'd do without ours.
::High five:: for good weight gain and boobies that do what they're supposed to silvermelody!
Oh pibblemom, so many ((hugs)) for the feels. I can only imagine what it's like to see a piece of your dad when you look at C. Sending positive vibes your way.
I'm so sorry for the fever and cancelled bday party MissDemeanor. That's sucky. ☹️
Hugs pibblemom, your feelings about your dad really choked me. My dad died 18 years ago but it can still feel like he was here only yedterday. He wasn't here for most of the major events of my life - he never met DH and obviously hasn't met my kids. But I tell them about him and what he was like and see my dad in DS1. Your memories will keep him with you and make him a presence in your children's lives.
