i had to wheel the trash to the curb this morning (DH always says he'll do it but then never remembers so i end up doing it in a rush on my way to work in the morning), and two maggots fell on me. i'm still gagging over it.
MIL and DH's grandma (who is in town from chile for a week) are coming over for dinner. it was a last minute thing and i already had meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and salad on the menu, and i'm nervous that they will hate it all. not really their style. gonna see if DD will make brownies with me when i get home. (3 hour glucose tolerance test results were normal, in case anyone was wondering, ha.)
Getting my hair cut this morning. Thankfully with my regular hairdresser. The girl filling in for her while she was on maternity leave messed up my cut so I'm looking forward to getting it back on track. I'm almost tired of the style even though it's super cute, and I don't want long hair, and I don't want a total pixie, so I'm not sure there's anything else I do want :-P
Our house is getting sold! Closing is Thursday! I'm so glad to be done with it. Selling for almost $10K less than we bought it for, but the market never recovered to where it was in 2006.
aggiebug nice idea of DH. Too bad it didn't work out agm04 congrats on the 3 hr! Ew to the garbage fiasco. seamonster sorry for the lose of money but glad it sold!
Today we went to the mall. It was so crowded due to spring break that it wasn't very enjoyable and some kid puked in the play structure so I'm sure we'll all be getting sick. Making crispy coconut chicken for dinner. I've never made it so I hope we like it; can't really go wrong with baked chicken though. I'll make glazed carrots to go with it bc I'm trying to use up ones I have.
Question: how long do you guys let you LO stay in nap if they aren't sleeping? Crying and/or self entertaining quietly?
Depends on the day and if C is napping on me. S is basically always content in her crib she as been awake in her crib for a hour or more before. Sometimes because C just fell asleep, sometimes because she was only asleep for 40 minutes and at least needs to rest, or because I need more sanity time. She could totally climb out but hasn't even considered it when we aren't there.

lilyelayne hope you're happy with your cut. I really need to make an appoint to get mine done. At this point I'm in a cycle of chopping it fairly short every 8-10 months and then letting it grow back out and I know it looks better short.
dreemkin we usually give her about 30 minutes, if she hasn't gone to sleep by then it isn't going to happen and since she doesn't wear her sleep sack for naps I don't want her to get any ideas about climbing out.
Today is picture day for our house so at least tonight we can take a break from obsessively cleaning. Round 2 will start Thursday so we're ready for showings Friday & Sat and the Open House Sunday. Plus home inspection for the new house Saturday morning, it's such a super hectic time. I'm just hoping everything is settled by the start of May so we can focus on the arrival of baby #2.

If he stays happy, he stays until naptime would typically be over. I don't care if he's quietly lying down or if he's standing up peeking through the blinds, playing with his stuffed animals, etc.
If he's been happily in the crib for 45 minutes or so and then gets cranky I'll go get him up without further attempts at nap.
If it's under 45 minutes and he's still cranky I'll try to settle him to get him to nap. He's really verbal so I can usually get a good feel if he's more upset because he's not going to nap and is sick of the crib or because he REALLY needs to nap and I need to help him along.
dreemkin omg that is my worst nightmare. Like he puked while you were there?!?!
If anything DD just wakes up early (vs. not falling asleep), in which case we let her hang out either until 1) normal wake up time 2) she's upset (rare), or 3) she says she has a poop.

45 minutes to an hour because then it's take him for a walk in the jogging stroller and let him pass out that way. He has zero issues putting himself to sleep at daycare, but likes to nap on the go at home. I sometimes run errands and sometimes go home and rock the stroller in the living roomy or on the back porch. There's no self entertaining; it's standing at the gate and rattling the bars yelling for Mama. Mama would rather go to the library or the coffee shop or Target.
Thanks everyone! And agm04 we were there but I didn't see it. Then N didn't go back up there bc we left anyway, thank goodness. I'm just thinking this kid was probably spreading his germs around everywhere before he puked gah (unless it was a non sick related puke).

We call it nap/quiet time so you're in there for at least 1 hour. LO has a crib full of junk (toys and books) it's ridiculous but she has some entertainment if needed so usually no cry fest.

25 more Posts until the next level. That might have been the only good thing about marathon MOTN feeds. He certainly won't let me play with my phone now when he needs help going back to sleep.
