Another not great night for us. Dunno of the 3 month growth spurt is coming early sleep wise or what but Lil G can't sleep for more than an hour tops. Miss O is sleeping good. Felt bad not getting her up for his 4:30 feed but she slept and it allowed DH to sleep through it.
It looks like the rain/storms will hold off till later today so we'll be loading everyone up and going to my parents for lunch (pizza) and then to local park for egg hunt.

We have people coming over for lunch, I need to make one more pie, and then we have my grandmas easter dinner tonight. Busy day!
H and I did the deed last night and it wasn't nearly as painful as I thought it would be. Thank goodness!
The neighbor farmer spread chicken manure on the field that surrounds our house, so now there are a billion flies that want to come in to our house 😑 One of the cons of living in the country.
And we put Clara to bed at 8:45 last night because she was a fuss bucket all evening. She only slept for 1.5 hours at first, but she went right back to sleep when she woke up at 10:00 and I fed her, so maybe we're headed toward an earlier bedtime?
Those are my random thoughts Have a good Saturday!

MH just left with both kids for the entire day!!!!!! I'm gonna finish my coffee, get cleaned up, and go to the mall for a bit. FX I can find some cute ankle pants for tomorrow. And maybe a new bra from Soma. I need a fitting desperately!!! Then, I may get lunch/brunch at a restaurant alone. I've got some cleaning I'd like to do too, but it's taking a back seat to "me" time.
C is in between 3M and 3-6M clothing. I had to put him in a 3-6M onesie and 3M overalls today. Pretty annoying since I try and keep clothing organized by size and MH... Well, does not.
J already has two easter baskets - one from school and one from my parents. She'll also get one from us, my cousin, and my ILs. Five baskets! Good Lord... The sugar rush!

shawnabm1320 There's a cow farm next to us and they also farm crops so we brace ourselves whenever we see that manure plane fly by! Country living woes lol.
DS and I are heading to the grocery store to get stuff for tomorrow. The ILs are doing a traditional Easter lunch but my mom decided to switch it up on our side this year. For dinner she's fixing Prime Rib, mashed potatoes, greens and green beans and I'm making bruschetta and eton mess for dessert. I'm way too excited.

We also have so much to do today. My sister and I just finished a workout; my mom has been cooking and watching K & R. We need to grab last minute things at the groceries, we are going to the park and to play tennis this afternoon after nap time, we need to dye eggs and bake for tomorrow. I am just recovering from the workout and pumping upstairs in peace right now. My sister kicked my butt!! But it felt good. I'm 3 lbs below prepregnancy and 7 away from my goal weight. Still have an ugly stomach, but I'm starting to look a little better in clothes.
R slept really good last night. I'm guessing because the shots. She did 4.5, 3.5, then 2 and 2. She was asleep before 7 pm; and up at 7. So she was definitely extra sleepy.
I'm drugged Heehee. For good reason, though. Spent the last two days in agony and it turns out I have a dental abscess. Go figure that it happens on a holiday weekend when dental offices are closed on Friday. Boooooo Urgent care lady gave me a steroid shot, an anti-inflammatory shot, and prescriptions for antibiotics and ibuprofen (filling the gaps with tylenol). I am a light weight.
On the lovely side, I don't want to claw my face off anymore, and S got two 4.5hr stretches in her crib while G slept til 9. And its 70° here and sunny!! Need to get DH to go to the store to get supplies for tomorrow. We're doing brunch, so making a pasta salad, little finger sandwiches, deviled eggs, mini fruit tarts, and little dirt desserts. Then tonight, when kids are hopefully asleep, I can get the baskets put together and the eggs out for our yard hunt tomorrow.

We went to the grocery store already. Now hanging around until I have to go back up to church. We have a memorial service today. I don't have to do anything. They just want me there which is fine by me. Gotta clean our house at some point. Then the craziness begins! The sunrise service is going to kick my ass tomorrow. DS2 is sleeping even worse. Poor guy and his coughing. I sound like a broke. Record about it but seriously we are over it.

ls2012 oh gosh that sounds awful, rest up! DH and DS are visiting his family so I have some girl time with DD. Love the semi quiet house with just an infant! So what do I do with an empty-ish house? Clean!

E isn't nursing, he screams whenever my nipple comes near him. Now he's not having wet diapers. I called my midwife and we are trying some milk in a bottle and if he won't take that we get to go into the emergency room. Fun times.
Oh, and my toddler isn't napping.
I did get some sleep last night. E fell asleep in his swing and I told H to bring him up when he came to bed. Well, he slept until 2 freaking am and H let him! Then he was up at 5:30, then up for the day at 7. Poor H only got like 4.5 hours of sleep, though.
We went to the farmers market that is at the local vineyard this morning and ate pastries and drank wine while P slept and S ran around with one of her friends. It was fantastic. We are home prepping the yard/house for tomorrow since we are hosting. My inlaws are here helping:)
We have my nieces bday party later at 4, it will be the first time all 8 cousins are together since now we have Poppy! Should be fun!
I'm on the way to my parents'. Packing for all three of us took me like 2 hours, but we are off. I'm looking forward to the nice weather tomorrow and my mom cooking.

Honestly, leave it to my FIL and SIL to F up my good mood. They just told us they aren't coming tomorrow, they are coming tonight...and they aren't sure when. My husband told his dad, at 7 the baby is asleep (and 7:30 me and K) turn in for the night. They basically don't care. This is the same SIL who saw R for all of 5 minutes last time she was here. We are so clearly not the priority when she's home, I don't plan on changing a thing about my routine to cater to her agenda. It drives me f-ing insane. So inconsiderate. So rude. And it's every time she's home.
I'm done ranting. Just needed to vent. Because otherwise I'll just explode or say something I regret.
We are home for Easter. Spent last night at my parents and are now at the ILs and all the cousins are playing. We are doing an egg hunt soon and eating all night. Tomorrow morning breakfast, church and back to my parents for dinner. Great weekend!

Baby wouldn't eat, or take a bottle or a syringe. So to the ER we went. While there he nursed and peed twice. The doc did a good once over and declared him fine. We are now home. Just exposed to lots more germs, lots more anxiety, H didn't get a nap... and oh, we didn't go car shopping.
Glad he's ok wildflower810 , sorry for all the stress. But so so happy he is alright.
Me too! My midwife is the one who told us to go and she was feeling a bit foolish.... but when you have a not yet 6 week old who only makes one damp diaper in 5 hours, you get worried.
wildflower810- Glad that everything is okay. Better safe then sorry with a baby that little!
flyinghorses6- Sorry about the IL's. Hope they made it over in time to see you all before bedtimes!
Well LO1 got scared at the freaking Easter egg hunt because there was a guy on the microphone and then right where we lined up for the hint was the Easter bunny. Geesh....Babes did well though!
Babes have been asleep since 8:30 and it's now 20:45 and I'm still awake. Go to sleep!!!
Edit: 2 hours later woken up by G crying. First feeding of the night now. Bummed that DH wants to go to church in the morning so now Easter Bunny can't come since he wants to be home for it. Hopefully LO1 goes with and I can do Eggs while they are out.
