Holy cow. Louis slept 8 hours! I'm up nursing and drinking coffee and waiting for Henry to wake up so we can take my mom to her colonoscopy appointment. Daughter of the year right here <<< After that I'm going to rush home so I can get back to watching Nurse Jackie on Netflix.

Noah is surprisingly still asleep. I poked my head in and he is laying sideways on the middle of the bed on top of the covers. I hope that means he's wasn't up crying in the motn because I didn't hear him. I actually semi-slept/semi-coughed through the whole night. Not very restful but more than I've gotten in the last week.

@justinslovo we would get ants bad in our old house. What worked best for us was to figure out where they were coming in and recaulk. My H would spray outside too. Diamorphous earth (I probably got that wrong) is kid/pet safe.
forevermorgan - gah, those thousand leg things are the worst. I made my husband murder one a couple nights ago that so rudely was circling paper towels that were on the floor off the bathroom while I was trapped on the toilet in terror. No creature needs that many legs.
I think we're going to the children's museum today, and then I need to get my niece a birthday gift, so Target. And tonight we're looking at a couple of houses. I hope one of these is it! The market is starting to get really competitive, and houses are being scooped up sooo quickly. It makes me nervous.. do not want to move in with my parents because we can't find something quickly.
Dylan did her first easter egg hunt yesterday and it was adorable. I worked through lunch so I got to go watch it. I don't think she understands that there is candy in the eggs which is probably a good thing. She likes to tidy up her play area so I think she was treating it more as a clean up then something fun. Preschool has a hunt today so I'm interested to see how she did at that one.

I can't wait to do an egg hunt with Hadley this year! Such a fun age!
L did not nurse last night and I'm having all the feels about it. I know this was the goal, but I thought I'd know when our last time was! I almost offered just to make sure I had an appropriate "last time" moment, but did not want to disrupt forward progress. Sigh. Growing up is hard for everyone involved.

I'm trying to figure out when I can stop offering. DS only nurses at bedtime. I've had a LOT of pain on the left side and I think there is no more milk there (always the dud), and I think the right side is soon to follow. He seems happy to 'dry' nurse (ugh ugh ugh), but I'm starting to dread bedtime because of the pain. I'm in week 14 so I'm guessing I'm drying up due to being pregnant (?). He didn't seem bothered by eliminating other sessions but I have a feeling this one will be different.
W had an epic meltdown because he saw a pacifier and I wouldn't give it to him. I really want to get rid of the damn things. He only uses them for sleeping, but I know it's going to be a bitch to get rid of it. My goal is to have them gone a few months before baby #2. I'm almost 20 weeks...Guess I need to push this.

I explained to her that the milk was drying up and it hurt mommy to nurse when the milk stopped, so mommy would let her nurse and let her know when we needed to stop, and one day the milk would be all gone and we wouldn't nurse anymore, but that we could still snuggle as long as she wanted. I started at 3 min a side and was dropping about 30 seconds until we got down to 1 min. Last night I was going to do 45 seconds, but she didn't even ask, just was OK with books when I said we would read first (and she is NEVER ok with that).
We are working the kinks out of the new nighttime schedule - she woke as I was leaving her room and we let her CIO (we set a 15 min check-in max, and she stopped crying and went to bed at 13:30) - but it's going ok. I hate doing CIO, but it seems necessary, and she doesn't seem too upset. She cries while looking at the door, and before she laid down last night, she looked at the door again, kind of shrugged, and then laid down and went right to bed.

Thanks @officedronette, that was a helpful read. He doesn't nurse to sleep and I put him down awake, so I'm not as concerned about that part. I have been shortening the time and the last couple days I have been talking to him about it. He still wants "mo". He does fine if I'm not home and someone else puts him to bed. I think this is harder because I stopped offering the other sessions and he never asked, but he clearly wants more than I can give him right now. I wish we could stop because he wasn't interested vs. me wanting to stop. I feel bad.
CoachTsWife, I know those feels. I really wanted to wait until she was ready, but I just couldn't do it anymore. Before we started weaning, my skin was crawling every time she would nurse because I just felt so done.
Hey, mamas! I poked in yesterday and then was encouraged by the post today to just dive in, so here I am How's everyone? I've been scrolling back through the threads to find out about all the new squishes and BFPs. Congrats to you all!
Life has been hectic over here. We were collectively sick from Thanksgiving until a week or two ago. HFM, stomach viruses, followed by two rounds of Flu A. It's been a treat. Other than that, still plugging away in the classroom and the bow business has been growing which has been a blessing. DH finished his Bachelor's last week and interviewed for grad school. The feedback has been positive and he will likely be starting this summer or fall to get his Master's in Clinical Counseling. We're excited b/c this program has all evening classes which means he can continue to SAH with EE while working on school. EE is a jabberbox and constantly on the go. She finally has a mullet long enough for a tiny pony tail which she's only let us do once. Toddlers are no joke, but man am I enjoying watching her personality develop!

It's iud removal day! I'm so ready to have it out. Of course it's a cute doctor doing it and I have to work with him this weekend. Hooray for awkward doctor situations.

Iud removal = fail. Got naked for doctor and one of my coworkers since he needed to bring someone else in. Can't find the iud. Now I have to book an ultrasound and hope it doesn't require surgical removal.
I've finally decided on a theme for Em's birthday and now I've gone down the rabbit hole. I swore I wasn't going to go all out but yeah that's out the window. Whoops.
But what's the theme?
FFWC I generally hated party stuff but now that Elena is older I'm excited because she'll love it. I'll never be a Pinterest Star, but I'll have fun with it.
If I still had a period I think it would be today. I am having a hard time trying not to lose it today. Nothing different from any other day I just have a short fuse right now I am not sure what my deal is.
