DS slept from 12-6. Bless that child. But now I'm up because after the long sleep my boobs were exploding so one strong let down and he started choking and let go, then I'm spraying him in the face like a hose, I didn't notice my breast pad was shifted over my other boob so that one starts pooling milk between my boobs faster than my shirt can absorb it, I'm trying to pull the receiving blanket out from under him very awkwardly because we're laying down; any way he was not impressed and now I'm soaked. But 6 hours, yay!!!
Eta a pic: my crew on the couch last night watching a movie. DD2 is my comedian.
MH is taking both kids to his sister's house this afternoon, so I'll get about 4-5 hours alone!!! I'm thinking gym, long bath with a good book and a glass of something, then a movie on the couch. So excited!
Now for the babies. J got her school pics back. They grow up fast!
PDQ
Poof
And C wss so serious yesterday... Cracks me up when he mean mugs me LOL

I can't believe my babies will be two months old on Monday! As hard as it has been, they are growing up too fast! My nephew is in this pic with them. We took this same pose for their newborn pics and I plan to take ob each month for the first year and then yearly for as long as they will let me !
Some pics from working in the garden this weekend! DS and I walked some laps around our property while DD and DH planted! I discovered that one lap is a quarter mile so I now know I can stay at the house & get a mile or two in if I don't feel like going to the track! PDQ.

2 3-hour stretches again! Yay! And she didn't spend as much time grunting from 5-7:30 like she normally does!
I think I have an oversupply right now. I'm afraid to pump because I want it to regulate, so I don't know how much I'm making (so-to-speak) but I am constantly leaking - even through my breast pads. And she's started choking on my letdown on the left side. I feel so gross by the end of the day. I'm pretty much covered with breastmilk come morning, also. Yikes.
It's finally warm and sunny, so I think we're going to bundle up and go outside as soon as she's done nursing. I have laundry to hang out, and DS has already torn apart the living room today, so he's running out of things to do
oldbaylover1024 omg her hair!!! pivot good luck! I have done a bunch of solo trips and I just make sure I drive around long enough so that the baby is REALLY asleep by the time we go in. DNW two awake kiddos. Also your property is gorgeous and you all look great!
Pumping while L plays on his piano mat. I think my supply is dipping even though I've been leaking a lot. I'm going to have an extra egg this morning and try to drink more water. Today I am going to watch Chicago med on Netflix and snuggle with my baby. I sent DS1 to daycare and am going to enjoy the day off. The week got of to a rough start with doctors appointments, ear infections, sanitizing the entire house, plus incident reports at daycare. So I deserve this, right?!? Next big decision, what to get for lunch.

Back at the pedi. DS2 woke up with a fever. The pedi did say it would be a miracle if he didn't get sick from DS1. So many bad words. DS1 is feeling much better though. Hoping we can get them to both feel better at the same time.

Well I had i high hopes of going to the gym this morning, but we had a tough night and I woke up at 8 so not enough time. Instead we went to BRU and then tunes for tots at the public library. All went well until it was time to go, and the toddler threw an epic tantrum. Thank god I brought in the double stroller, or we never would have gotten out of there. Now we are having lunch. I would like to get a walk in this afternoon, and a circuit. But it might be wishful thinking.
Also praying for a better night. I need this kid to figure it out.

My big boy learning to ride his "pedal bike." He has had a balance bike for the last few years and did great with it, but for Christmas got a real bike and he has never had to pedal before so it's been a learning curve.

flyinghorses6, omg your little looks SO much like you!
Had a phone interview this morning and it went well. Have another in an hour.
Saw the pedi for her 6 week checkup this morning, she's 10lbs. 9.6oz. 😳 My baby is getting BIG! She also got her shots... and I cried because it hurts to see your baby hurt. Other than that, I've "graduated". Won't see the pedi until 4 months unless she gets sick. I've also taken this as tacit permission to let her sleep and go wherever the hell I want. She didn't say not to.
Boobs are still sore, but nowhere near what they were last night. I'm going to lube up my nipples like a gay man's butthole every time I pump and see if that helps.

Finally got everyone inside after DD had to pet each baby chick individually that we got this weekend.. The chick fil a bag brakes open and spilled all the food everywhere including my drink. I'm attempting to pick everything up and clean up the drink. Meanwhile DS is screaming in his carseat that I still haven't taken him out of, the dogs howling because he's screaming and DD is laying on her belly on the floor licking the drink off the floor like a dog. I'm laughing about it now that everyone's fed and cleaned up but lort. Where is my wine? 🍷😑

The pediatrician sent us to the peds er. There was a noticeable difference in his ears and eyes since his check yesterday afternoon. The pedi wants him to be looked at by another doctor and get blood work to determine whether or not the infection is localized or not. Poor guy is pitiful.

R let me get in my workout!!! This is a huge win that hasn't happened in a week!!! 😍😍😍
oldbaylover1024 that smile! Omg! I can't wait for R to start smiling! Lately he's been so fussy I feel like he's never going to be happy again, let alone smile.

I had a therapy appointment this morning and then headed to a new moms group, I've joined two local groups, but the one meeting today is not really clicking. I feel like I have nothing in common since all of their (slightly older) babies are on a schedule and that's all they talk about. Meanwhile S has no schedule whatsoever beyond evening fussiness. I can't even put her down usually without her crying within minutes, much less put her in her crib after a bedtime routine. I know we will get there but it's not helpful hearing from the other side. I just want to commiserate and problem solve my current issues.

But in better news my work finally approved my full maternity leave!!! It's great to know I won't have to go back to work earlier. The original date was supposed to be this Monday... nope.
