DS came home from nursery school with all his Valentines. It's so cute to see him enjoy the treats. Makes me excited for next year when he will begin to understand the cards, etc. even more.
My DS was not pleased when he found out his dinosaur valentine's were for the whole class, and he couldn't just keep them all.
There are 27 kids in his class. I'm kind of hoping he doesn't come home with that many treats.

Yeah, that's a lot. DS only has 11 kids in his class.
weeklyplanner I feel you. I expected my dress clothes to be tight but after discovering they didn't fit/did but looked incredibly awful it's really put my focus back on trying to eat healthy. Plus all the rich indulgent food from last night. I'm definitely feeling extra gross right now.

weeklyplanner, you are not alone. B eats at 9, 12, 3, and 5, and 7 (when we get up). And that's as of a few days ago. Up until then he was up every 1.5-2 hours. I greatly enjoy the three hour stretches but im hoping he bumps it up to 5 hours soon. Like, tonight.
MissDemeanor, DS1 had a meltdown when he saw me placing the paw patrol lollipop valentines into his classmates' cubbies. He wanted one and just did not understand that 1. He wasn't having lollipops for breakfast and 2. Those were for his friends.

Between Christmas, the new baby, his birthday and now Valentine's Day R has gotten way too much stuff lately. And he has another party on Thursday. Basically anytime someone comes to visit now he expects a gift. When I gave him his Pete the Cat book this morning he said "got anything else for me?".

I'm worried about that too. Every time someone brings a gift by for B they also give DS1 something. He's definitely been receiving a lot of random gifts lately. And treats. People just love to bring him crap to eat.

He always says thank you, and appreciates the gift, but then pulls the "what else?" Question. It's embarrassing sometimes too. I'm getting worried about it. Don't want him to get spoiled or not appreciate things. 3 is a tough age though.
MissDemeanor and heybulldog56 we really struggle with how to prevent DD from feeling so entitled too. Between Xmas and Chanukah and DS being born, it was like she was getting another gift every day. Pretty soon it's going to be her birthday too. It's just too much. I also feel like I need to majorly purge all the toy crap she has and doesn't touch. It's hard to teach a sense of appreciation to a 3 yr old.
B just did a 2.5 hr nap on my chest. I got about a 45min nap in, which was great, but now I'm worried about what this means for tonight. It's the 'ole sleep-begets-sleep vs too much day sleep = no nighttime sleep argument...
Here's hoping sleep begets sleep ladies! I feel like early enough thrb3 hour nap is a good thing here- it's when it happens at like 7 that I get nervous.

I have a headache I can't kick. I'm hoping it's just me needing to drink more water but maybe it's my allergies. DS1 woke up crying from his nap and when I asked him what was wrong, he said I broke his heart. I must be on a roll with him today.

I feel you. It's not DS1s birthday until June but he is constantly talking about all of the things he wants. He was utterly spoiled by our families at christmas which didn't help.

F is nicely asleep in my arms, which is good after the shit show that was yesterday. But instead of enjoying him I just keep looking around at all the things I need to do around the house.
Right now I kind of feel like I'm not enjoying either child because I'm always pulled in 100 directions. Cue all the mom guilt

I totally could have wrote this exact post right now! C is finally sleeping in my arms (after barely napping today), the house is a disaster bc DD1 is home sick and pulling out all the toys. And I'm practically sitting in the dark right now bc H took DD1 out to the store before dark and there were no lights on when he left. And my arm is falling asleep from holding this baby. At least my phone was near by.

H came home and handed me info from two spas for their various spa packages and said I get to pick one! I don't think we can really afford it ATM but I figure I can pick one an schedule it later. And here all I did was get him a card and let him play his new game. So, I ordered pizza and breadsticks from the Italian place up the street and we have a movie rented on Vudu.
We also scheduled W's baptism today so at least that is taken care of.
W's one month appointment is tomorrow and I'm curious to see how much he's gained in the last two weeks. I still haven't heard back from the hospital LC. I'm gonna call again tomorrow morning to see if I can go in before his appointment.

Does anyone else's baby not like to be held by your SO? Every night I give her to H in the hopes that I can get a little break, and every night she freaks out crying. I don't think he's really good at soothing her he won't listen to any tips I give him 🙄

We went through this with DS1 for almost two months. He got to where he'd let H hold him but only if I remained in sight. If he couldn't see me, he'd scream hysterically.

I think part of our problem is that bf holds the baby too loosely. He likes to be snuggled tightly or basically left alone. BF holds him kind of inbetweenish.
This was really highlighted when my brother, cousin and uncle were all able to hold him with no problem last weekend.
