What's up Weekend Randoms

[silvermelody]

ellabee I still swaddle arms in. It helps her fall asleep for bedtime. 75% of the time she gets her arms out but she stays sleep so I don't care.

FFFC: I don't own a hair dryer. Am I out of luck?

There's an woven up on one of the FB swaps that I have fallen in love with. She's asking $75 including shipping. I'm having a hard time finding reasons not to buy it...

What is it? Size, brand? That sounds like a killer deal

Natibaby peacock eyes size 5 100% cotton
I'd never seen it before and I love it. I've also been looking for something shorter than the 7 I have.

I don't have any wraps but that sounds like an amazing wrap and deal.

Nope! Although, it does make it easier. I had a friend go out and buy a little travel one for her Jams. If you have one of those microwaveable rice bags, they work well, you just have to hold it on longer. I've also had people heat up a spoon and use it to heat the wrap up.

$75 sounds about right for that size and that wrap. With shipping it's a pretty good deal imo. If your he base is a 7 I think you'll like a five, they are pretty versatile

I messaged her! I want it so bad!

[lakegirl]

I'm trying to get some general housekeeping stuff checked off my list. It's funny how I was less productive with mh home but I enjoyed being able to just cuddle the baby these two weeks. Mh is working on cleaning the deck, getting the outside furniture out, some yard maintenance, etc.

My mom will be here later for a couple of days. She's going to be watching the kids tonight while we go into the city for a friend's birthday dinner. I should probably check out the menu and come up with a semi-healthy plan of attack. It's at a brewery so I know I'll indulge in some liquid calories and want to balance it out. The scale has been kind, I want to continue that trend.

IL's were only over for 2 hrs yesterday so we still has plenty of family time and family nap time lol. I had a dream about being back at work I woke up in a panic. I have nothing big planned for today. Officially have E in 3-6 month clothes now. I introduced her to her Sophie giraffe and she loves that it sweaks.

[ambiguousmango]

Good morning, just finished breakfast and trying to decide what I want to do today. Should I go out and take a walk and maybe shop or should I stay home and clean my house?

[heybulldog56]

ambiguousmango, nap!

I just spent the last hour putting all of DS1's upstairs toys into a garbage bag. Why you ask? Well, it all happened when he asked for a fourth pre-nap story. He did not like my answer and proceded to throw books and toys all over the place. I told him I would take everything he threw away from him for the rest of the day if he kept at it. Obviously he continued to throw with enthusiasm. Now I have a bag of books and toys and he has an empty room. But he is in bed resting. Toddlers. Woof.

My ILs are here and DH is doing school work. I am off to the grocery store. Hopefully I'll have time to sit and relax for a bit before my little shit storm wakes up. Love him dearly but, lord, that was rough. So hard to maintain composure and not start throwing all his shit out the window while screaming in frustration. Too early for booze?

[ellabee]

heybulldog56, I sometimes regret having to make good in my promises to DD too. She's been randomly chewing on things (for the love of god it's like I have a puppy) and the other day I told her the next thing she put in her mouth was going in the trash. Well, we were giving B a bath and she started chewing on the peri bottle (that I'd re-purposed as a hair rinser lol), so into the trash it went. Joke was on me I guess.

FFSC: I went to my parents house for DDs bday brunch and I forgot to restock my diaper bag with diapers for B. On diaper change #3 at their house I had to put him in a spare size 4 that we had leftover from when DD had a stash there. It was surprisingly not ginormous on him. 😬

[heybulldog56]

ellabee, yeah follow through sucks. Especially when you end up "losing" like you did with the peri bottle.

DS1 is still asleep and ILs are entertaining B. I am on the deck with a beer. I love that Dh works for a beer company and brings home the most delicious beverages but this is probably not helping me in the weight loss department.

[judyblume14]

heybulldog56, sounds like you big boy and my big girl would be BFF.

I've done a good job of avoiding doing to many chores this past week, in an effort to chill the eff out because I've been stressy.

Unfortunately, now as I look around my pig sty of a house, I'm more stressed out than I was to begin with. Looking forward to bedtime tonight so I can tidy up the kitchen and living room.

[thelittleredm]

Ahh!

So, today started out shitty with fighting with H but luckily, it resolved by 11ish. Then, we went to the mall because I wanted his opinion on some rings I looked at yesterday to replace the one I lost last year. While wandering, I got tagged on FB for winning two free pieces of LLR. Score! Then, we narrowed down ring choices to the top two and I finally chose the one I wanted. We were going to wait until our refund came in but H said since we'd need to finance part of it anyway, I could get it today and pay what we settled to take from our refund later. We have to wait for the band to come in but the ring fit perfectly so I got to take it home!

Right? I'm a big fan of it. I tried on so many just because of that lol

[MissDemeanor]

All of F's swaddle sacks are in the laundry. So im putting him in a regular a+a one. T&ps!

[MissDemeanor]

thelittleredm Love it! So pretty

[MissDemeanor]

I got both kids asleep. On their own beds. I feel like a rock star!

A super tired one who will be going to bed at 9, but still

[lakegirl]

thelittleredm I love the vintage inspired style!
MissDemeanor I hope everyone slept well!

The birthday dinner last night was fun. I had a couple delicious oatmeal stouts because that's good for milk production right?

My lunch date cancelled for today (health related) so I'm bummed about that. I haven't seen this friend since December and I miss her. So now my day is wide open, the world is my oyster or something inspiring.

[MissDemeanor]

had to put F in a sleep sack instead of a swaddle last night because they were all in the laundry. I was worried he wouldn't do well. Little bugger slept from 8-5!! I woke up do to exploding boobs so I fed him and 5 minutes later he's back to sleep

[MissDemeanor]

It's 5 am. Im so hungry!! But scared to get out of bed in case I wake up the rest of the house

[heybulldog56]

DS1 woke up with a fever of 102.5. I see lots of tv in our future. Hopefully all three of us can coordinate naps at some point. So much for a trial run of our new routine!

[thelittleredm]

lakegirl, So what you mean is that you get to sit on a patio somewhere, eating whatever you want, drinking whatever you want, and it's all on your schedule? Sounds beautiful.

[ambiguousmango]

heybulldog56 I hope he feels better soon, get all the snuggles now and worry about the schedule another time.

lakegirl I agree with thelittleredm that is a wonderful problem to have so something fun.

[ambiguousmango]

So like MissDemeanor Q slept from 8 to 5 last night it was awesome! The not so great part is he has been bouncing off the ceiling since 5 😩
