Weekend Chit Chat

[littlelion]

What's up D16 mommas?

[littlelion]

Another rough night. Leo had a fever, went to bed early but then was up a couple times. Plus alex was up again at 3 am with his stuffy nose. I think our room gets too hot which makes his nose worse. Leo seems ok this morning but I canceled his free soccer class. My sister said she'd stop by. She was orig going to take alex for the morning while I took Leo to soccer.

I'm having a large cup of coffee with a couple st.pattys day cookies I got from work. Here's alex in his outfit:

Morning! Daddy is watching the babies after I let him sleep in.

I just had an ultrasound and turns out my IUD is in the wrong place. Not sure what the doctor is going to do. The sonographer was acting really weird and for a second I thought she was going to tell me I was pregnant. I. Would. Have. Died.

Now it's off to a hair appointment.

[requiressnacks]

Sorry for the rough night littlelion. But he's so cute!! 😍😍

[littlelion]

requiressnacks you're seriously making me lol this morning. Does your iud hurt?

@kc295905 big coffee to you, sorry for the rough night.

Watching Moana again. Still fun to watch.

[mrswillie]

littlelion love it! Hope Leo feels better.

requiressnacks that, uh, sucks, but thank goodness that was the news. Lol. Enjoy your you time!

@kc295905 I want a new, bigger house too... in another state.

[mrswillie]

We have DS1 and 2's birthday party this afternoon ... a pool par-tay where they do their swim lessons. They'll have sooo much fun. We're not taking baby D in the pool... too many kids use that pool... no thanks. He'll go in our pool when we open it and it warms up. I can't wait. But I'll probably take him to mommy & me swim class in the fall. 😊

[Lucy]

I'm going to Milwaukee with my bff and Cora for the night. I'm excited for the night away, even if it is with the baby.

[Becca]

littlelion, so cute!

requiressnacks, I would have died too if I was told I was pregnant so soon too.

@kc295905, love that shirt! We just moved to a bigger house. Once we unpack it will be great.

mrswillie, enjoy the party!

Lucy, enjoy your trip

Count my in to the rough night club. I think I only slept for about an hour total. Nolan hasn't been eating all week while I was at work, and we'd been trying to figure out why. FI tried different temps for the milk, holding DS in different positions, having a girl friend try to feed him, etc. But it occurred to me yesterday to have him taste the milk, and he said it tasted weird. I tried the milk that I had just pumped, and it tasted fine. So it looks like I have an excess lipase issue like I did with DD1. I scalded the milk I pumped on Friday before I froze it, so hopefully DS will actually drink it on Monday.
Today so far we went to the coffee shop, and the kids went with me to return a dress to Nordstrom Rack. I had $150 in gift cards from credit card points, and I saw a super cute Kate Spade bag, so I got that. REI was having a huge sale in the parking lot too, but I resisted temptation on that one. Now the girls are eating lunch while DS naps, then we'll probably go out to do something. I also need to mail out a Thread-Up bag, so hopefully I'll get some cash from that stuff too.

We're taking a break at the hotel before visiting more family. I don't know if she's just distracted, but this baby does not want to eat! My boobs hurt so bad. I'm going to have to break out the manual pump and try to relieve a little pressure. DNW boob issues because she's being weird.

[littlelion]

I'm a sucker for infommercials. I'm this close to buying Bye Bye Foundation. I want flawless looking skin!

No! Doesn't hurt at all. That's why it was so weird.

[requiressnacks]

@kc295905, sorry you were up so much! Didn't N get the memo?! He's supposed to sleep at night. And LOL to another December baby. 😳😳

[requiressnacks]

Babies are napping. I got an iPhone 7 today. It's a total PITA setting it all up.

[littlelion]

Well Leo is feeling 100% better by the mischief he's getting into. It was a very calm day just watching movies. I'm waiting for dh to get home so I can head over to my niece's dinner party. I'm hungry. And tired. So very tired.

[littlelion]

😭 I need a hangry tshirt.

[Becca]

Just got back from dinner at the in laws, chicken parmesan, yum. BIL was there with his fiance, she is a complainer about everything- ugh, so annoying. I also made it to Target today and spent 90 glorious minutes aimlessly walking around child free.

I need one too. I got told by a student yesterday I am one of the hangriest people they know. Thanks?

[lastnamewithheld]

We are all in Long Island for a funeral. Tommy slept the whole car ride here and has been sleeping all night. I'm up (of course, it always happens) and H and T are still sleeping. Is it bad that I want to wake Tommy so he can keep me company? LOL.

I just made hotel room coffee and I'm sitting here drinking it and browsing FB and TCF in the dark.

[lastnamewithheld]

requiressnacks, do they have to remove/reposition your IUD since it's in the wrong place? Also: how do you like the iPhone 7?

littlelion and @kc295905 I hope your nights were better last night.

mrswillie how was the pool party? That sounds so fun!!

Lucy I hope you and Cora have fun in Milwaukee!

lbonga1 FX that you've fixed the issue with your pumped milk! Great detective work figuring out the problem! I would have never even thought about that!

lola I hope she stopped being weird and ate for you!

Becca, mmmm chicken parm sounds sooo good right now.

[requiressnacks]

lastnamewithheld, I'm really not sure. I only saw a sonography and she said the doctor would call me this week. I hated getting it inserted the first time so I'm not sure i would sign up for another one.

And I like the iPhone 7! I had a 5 so this feels like a huge upgrade.

[requiressnacks]

I have a dumb question....we are going to our friends house tonight from 4-7ish. Normally the babies nap from 5:30-6:15. When you guys are out and about, do you try to get your babes to nap? Also, do your babes nap anywhere? Mine are usually in a dark room with a sound machine so I can't even fathom them falling asleep at someone else's house.

You could try but I wouldn't count on it. Where are they gonna sleep?

Car seats? A bed? That's why I think I'm not even going to try...

[littlelion]

I've been up since 6 but have yet to brush my teeth or have some coffee. Dh decided not to go into work or school. I love having him with us but now he wants to be all productive and I feel blah.

I wouldn't try but if they seem tired or fussy perhaps try rocking them in your arms. I let alex nap on me and then move him to bed or sofa (but someone stays next to him).

I bought a spare pack and play at a consignment shop just for this.  I keep it in the back of my van so when we go to other people's houses we can let the twins nap in it.  It has worked out great for us, but when ours are tired enough they will sleep almost anywhere. 

[Becca]

I was hoping to go to Bed Bath and Beyond today, but DH threw out my 15% off entire purchase coupon. Not happy.

[lbonga1]

I think we're going to try going to Disneyland again today. My car is working now...it turned out to just be the battery. And DD1 is feeling better now. I don't know if I had mentioned it before, but she had suddenly gotten a 103 degree fever on that same day last week when we were trying to go and my car wouldn't start. So hopefully it'll actually work out for us today; I want to get some use out of our passes!

Went to the grocery solo this morning. Came home and put dinner in the crock pot and prepped some mmmm sauce for later in the week. Now more house hunting and eating Annie's bunnies while the boys nap. Going to the library when M wakes up. I should probably take a nap myself...😴😴😴

What's this mmmm sauce?
