DD came up to me this morning and said "mama you take care of B and me. You're a good mommy I love you." These are the moments that make everything worthwhile and that I have to remember when she's being her diva 3yr old self.

Awwww, how sweet ellabee! DS1 was messing around on the piano yesterday and started singing "I love mommy" while he was hitting random keys. It was adorable.
Maybe all that lack of a nap was a good thing yesterday? W is still sleeping and it's been 7 hours already. We have yet to have a first wakeup and I'm only up because my boobs hurt and I need to pump to make them feel better.
ellabee awwww so cute. Btw how was B's sleep? After I posted about how sleepy she was during the day, her night sleep was shit. Hope your night was better.

Longest stretch was 3 hrs and it went downhill from there. Not his greatest night, but not horrible, and at least he went to bed at a decent time.
Last two nights have been rough. DS1 has been getting up multiple times a night. It's been unpleasant. Only plans are to tidy up, clean bottles, and nap. It's really nice out so I plan on picking DS1 up early and going to the playground.
peaseblossom55, a good poop puts anyone in a great mood I hope it stays that way for you.
carrots, same with the crankpot kid having a nice long sleep. I think I'll take it. Good call on controlling the visit length.
C STTN for the first time! 10p-730a. She made noise around 4-5am and I was waiting for her to wake up but she went back to sleep. As I said above, I think I'll take some cranky evenings if I can get that kind of sleep stretch!
It's beautiful here today. Going to try to take her and the dogs up to moms again to let the 4 leggeds run and get us some sunlight.
Twins heybulldog56 I heard ds get up three times last night. He puts himself back to sleep on his own but it still wakes me up. Plus two baby wake ups. Sighs.
How is it only Thursday? Considering Mh had off Monday this short week is dragging.
It's pretty damp out right now but nice. I'm hoping it dries out after nap time so we can get some outside time.
She was a hard sleeper on the inside though too. Lots of ice water was drank for kick counts.
ETA: I also have no delusions that this will last. I'm just enjoying feeling rested while she catches up on her feeds and stays permanently attached to my boobs during the day.

Change of plans: B fell asleep on my chest so I will now watch Big Little Lies instead. Dear sister, thank you so much for your HBO now log in info. Nothing will ever get accomplished again.
I'm starving today. Nothing is helping. I've been eating healthy and the scale has been kind so I'm trying to stay on track but daaaaamn. I just chugged a bunch of water and am heating up the leftover casserole for an early lunch.

rinny, finished yesterday morning! And then I started Master of None and just finished that. I am on a roll with binge watching. Reminds me of my youth and I love it.
lakegirl, I'll be joining the healthy eating train in a few weeks. I decided to wait until after our trip to Florida for B's baptism. Even though I am not eating healthy I too am finding nothing appetizing. I'm so hungry.
I've only made small changes heybulldog56. I'm back to not keeping junk in the house (goodbye combos and cookies!), trying to munch on veggies, and eating smaller portions. I'm not going out of my way to make super healthy meals yet. I made sausage with peppers and onions the other night and only had one sausage! So baby steps.
I have to figure out walking with both kids. I'm not sure I trust ds on the sidewalk yet. Dd's next appointment is on the 1st and I'm hoping she weighs enough for my carriers. She had just hit 8lbs at her two week which is the minimum but I'd like her to be a bit more. Her neck strength is pretty impressive compared to ds at this age so I'm less worried about that.
Oh I can't wait to watch big little lies! I heard they are making a movie from her book What Alice Forgot with Reese witherspoon too. I've been binging on UnReal after DD1 goes down.
Does anyone have a double stroller they recommend? I was thinking the citi mini GT since we live in a city and go over bumpy pavement a ton. Does anyone have this or recommend another? I am really kicking myself for not getting the Uppababy Vista when we had DD. I never thought I'd have two so close in age!

N is taking good naps today. I think she just needs to be held until she's deeper asleep. But she's also fussier in the evening. Her weight gain is down the last few days. I might need to go back to offering both breasts, but she's been spitting up so much lately, it's hard to know when she's full.
I'm trying to get my announcements addressed today and should do more baby laundry. I also want to make lactation cookies but I can't find the time. The mixer is loud so N needs to be napping in our room to run it or it'll wake her. And DS haaaates the noise but he'll have to deal

Since it was so sunny out today, tell me what sunscreen you use on your babies. I need to go get some. Even very shaded she got a bit of color today. Dnw a burnt baby.
ETA: that is, if any. Gah I'm such a newbie. Google tells me not recommended under 6 months
