Yesterday ended up being busy. Mh made the fire pit patio. My inlaws came over with their truck so we could drop some furniture off at the thrift. I went through a bunch of stuff and have a trunk full to drop off at the thrift today. Dd and I will do the thrift run and hit up BBB for a shower present while the boys go to circle time. After that who knows. I'm thinking of moving the rocker and sound machine into the nursery and transitioning dd there tonight. Or maybe I'll work on some sewing if the munchkins cooperate.
B had a hard time with gas after his 5am feeding and I didn't get back to bed until 6. Of course DS1 was up promptly at 6:30. We are hanging out watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Today is cleaning day and I can't wait. No plans aside from just hanging out with B. He starts daycare next week and I need all the snuggles I can get.
Hi! MH is staying after work for drinks and it's bath day. Feeling nervous about managing everything tonight!
Went out to see beauty and the beast with my girlfriends last night, so H put L to bed with a bottle. He only drank 2 oz, so I was sure he'd be up sooner rather than later and id just make up the difference with my motn pump, so I didn't pump when I got home. Nope, he slept until 4 (7.5 hours) and I woke up at 3 mega engorged. Mistake on my part. The movie was great though!
Ahhhhhh my school called and wants me to sub Friday. I know I should do it because mh is home so childcare is not an issue but part of me wants to be lazy and not waste a day when he's home.
Obviously Mh says to do it but then follows up with "maybe I'll take the kids to Grandpops for the day." I'm over here rolling my eyes about spending a day alone with both kids.
rinny dd is definitely in leap 2 a day or two early. She is a mega grump. I don't blame the man, I wouldn't want to be left alone with her if I lacked a boob to whip out!
But also, bed time alone is totally different than during the day. I hate when mh works late and isn't around to help.
I'm honestly not sure if I'm more scared for bath time or dinner. DS1 (23 mo) just started sitting at the big table, and always has big opinions during dinner time, and #2 is hit or miss on whether he needs attention at this time. We'll see!

The baby is starting dc next week too! I'm just going to do half days so I can ease into it, are you back full time next week then?
Hi 👋 friends! I'm sorry I haven't been around, my world has been completely crazy. Liam is the busiest toddler I have ever seen ever. Lottie is usually wonderful but is in a leap- she should be finishing today though, thank the lord.
H had a vasectomy last week and ended up with abnormal swelling so he's still home from work. He should be going back tomorrow though. For my sanity I've been sending L to the sitter 3 days a week.
Oh yeah, I'm pretty much back to work part time now. It's great but a little overwhelming.
The celebrity I did photos for was Brett Kissel. He's a Canadian country singer, he's awesome opened for Garth Brooks a few weeks ago when he was performing in Edmonton.
Anyways, hi! Thanks for tagging me. I miss you guys too. Every day I'm like "oh I need to go say hi and see how everyone is" and then Liam throws something or gets into something or whatever. And it gets pushed to the side.
Having 5 kids really is like you're drowning and then someone hands you another kid. 🙄

vlagroupie, I start April 6. I wanted him to start a week early so we could practice our routine without the stress of getting to work on time (Although I doubt I'll be on time no matter how much we practice). I'll probably do half days as well since it's not necessary for him to be there and I'd rather have him with me while I can.
Obviously Mh says to do it but then follows up with "maybe I'll take the kids to Grandpops for the day." I'm over here rolling my eyes about spending a day alone with both kids.
You scared bro?!
DH does this all the time. Even when he just has DD he goes to his parents house to recruit help. ::eye roll::
E had a feeding at 1:30 and slept until 9:30. I spoke with my therapist earlier this morning to talk about my anxiety over returning to work. It was a good session and so helpful. I found out though she is moving and is stopping therapy at the end of May. I am so sad she was wonderful.
+2 in denial of going back to work. I am calling the nanny I want to hire in a little bit to offer the position. I finished calling her references yesterday. I feel so dizzy and tired despite a good night of sleep.

Both kids are down for a double nap, not sure how much alone time I'll get. I should do something productive, like clean my room, but I'd rather sit for a minute. I just made an individual Rice Krispie treat with chocolate chips, that's an acceptable lunch right?

+1 on the returning to work anxiety and I still have 6.5 weeks left. And my kids stay home with my husband! It just fills me with dread, knowing I need to be out the door, dressed and showered and presentable, by 6:30.

I'm not very experienced going out with both girls on my own. Today, we had dual doctors appts. Two month and 2.5 year well-checks.
Baby A cried for 5 minutes after getting vaxxed. Big girl L screamed and cried the entire time and all she had to do was get her ears, tummy, lungs, heart and diaper area checked. It was embarrassing.
The doctor said "I'm going to check your ears now" and through tears and heavy breathing, L cried "don't you dare!"
judyblume14 I had to take ds with me the other week to get dd's 1 month shots. He started bawling as soon as we walked into the exam room and they weren't even touching him! It was so embarrassing. I'm dreading his two year check up in May and am seriously considering requiring Mh to take the day off.
Will be drinking soon. The kids are double teaming us. Dd is a monster. She's screaming nonstop unless she's sleeping or on the boob. Ds is being a loud and slightly tantruming toddler. I'm having sensory overload. Dd can hit a higher pitch and is much louder and fussier than ds ever was.
H has been really playing up this vasectomy healing though. Like laying on the couch and letting me do literally everything. By the end of each day I feel like I might burst into tears from exhaustion and frustration.
